Forcibly ripping out a Soul Spike? Yeah, that kind of damage wasn't something you could just walk off.
It was permanent, but Lyra had managed to finesse her way through the medical check by using her healing abilities to slap a temporary band-aid on the problem. Just enough to trick the system into giving her a pass.
Technically, the rules only blocked recruits with heavy genetic issues, radiation exposure, or contagious diseases, so she figured she was in the clear. Turns out, someone didn't think so and used her condition to try and trip her up.
The review officer seemed a little too eager to throw her back into testing, but after taking a good look at Lyra's calm, unbothered expression, he must've figured the results would hold.
"Alright, I'll push your enlistment through," he finally grumbled.
