Chapitre 32: Chapter 32 "Shattered Hopes and Miraculous Medicines"
"The Battle Mages Alliance takes such threats very seriously," Dr. Saxena continued, his voice tinged with a hint of gravity. "They have established a strict policy. Anyone who attempts to harm a Warrior or Magician of the Alliance, or their family, will face punishment—either death or trial."
Veer's anxiety skyrocketed, his thoughts swirling with questions. "So...what does this mean for us?" he asked, his voice trembling. "Why did the president of the Alliance put pressure on me?"
Dr. Saxena leaned forward, his expression earnest. "Arik Schmidt, the president of the Battle Mages Alliance in this city, is a formidable figure," he explained. "He holds the rank of an 8th level air elemental magician and also serves as a high-ranking officer in the army. His concern stems from the fact that you are still wearing your battle suit and carrying your blade, both of which appear to be damaged or burnt."
As Veer realized he was still wearing his battle suit, a collective understanding swept through the room. It became clear to everyone that Arik Schmidt, the president of the Battle Mages Alliance, had mistaken Veer for one of the troublemakers who had come to cause chaos. The pressure exerted on him by Arik Schmidt began to make sense, and Veer felt a surge of relief that his life had been spared. In his mind, he couldn't help but think about Lucky, who had also become a student at the Battle Mages Alliance. He pondered why Lucky's parents hadn't noticed his battle suit, which had been scorched and damaged. Veer realized that they must have overlooked it in their deep concern for their son.
Observing Veer lost in his thoughts, Dr. Gaurav Saxena recognized the need to provide further clarity. He spoke to Veer in a compassionate tone, trying to alleviate his worries. "Veer, I cannot say for certain whether your friend will be able to walk as before," he explained. "There are unknowns that we need to investigate and understand. However, what I can assure you is that your friend's life is not in immediate danger."
Veer's voice trembled with worry as he absorbed Dr. Saxena's response. The mention of his friend's ability to walk sent shivers down his spine, and a sense of unease settled within him. He anxiously questioned, "Sir, what do you mean by 'whether my friend will be able to walk like before or not'? Does that mean his legs might not function?"
Dr. Saxena maintained a compassionate gaze, understanding the weight of Veer's concerns. He chose his words carefully, aiming to provide both comfort and honesty. "I cannot provide a definitive answer at this moment, Veer," he said gently. "The extent of your friend's condition requires further evaluation and testing. We need to determine the best course of action. However, I want to reassure you that we will explore all options and provide the best care possible."
Veer's heart sank, his mind racing with a multitude of possibilities. The uncertainty surrounding his friend's condition only intensified his worry. Taking a deep breath, Veer attempted to steady his nerves and find a glimmer of hope.
"I... I understand, sir," Veer responded, his voice filled with apprehension. "But his ability to walk, it's crucial to his life. If he can't walk as he used to, it will drastically change everything for him. I just hope... I hope it's not something permanent."
Dr. Saxena nodded with empathy, acknowledging the gravity of Veer's concerns. "I understand your fears, Veer," he said softly. "Rest assured that our team of experts will do everything in their power to diagnose and treat your friend's condition. We will explore all avenues and work tirelessly to help him regain his mobility and provide the best care possible."
after some time....
Upon examining the situation, Dr. Gaurav Saxena carefully explained to Veer the sequence of events that led to his friend's potential leg injury. "It is possible that when the car exploded, the debris struck your friend, causing him to lose his balance and collide with a wall," he began. "The impact of that collision may have resulted in a broken bone in his leg. It is likely that the force of hitting the wall affected his feet, leading to this injury."
Distraught, Veer turned to Dr. Saxena and asked, "So does this mean that Lucky will never be able to walk again?"
Dr. Saxena's expression softened, understanding the weight of Veer's distress. "It's possible, Veer," he replied gently. "However, I want to assure you that there are numerous magical medicines in this world that can work wonders. Even if an organ or a body part stops functioning, these medicines can help restore its function. We just need to treat your friend with one of these magical remedies."
Hope flickered in Veer's eyes as he listened attentively. "Sir, could you tell me about one of these magical medicines that I can purchase for Lucky?" he inquired.
Dr. Saxena considered Veer's request, aware of the importance of finding a solution. "There are indeed many medicines available for your friend," he began. "However, one particular medicine known as 'Life Rebirth' is quite remarkable. It has the power to rejuvenate and restore lost functions. The cost of this medicine is 100 million star dollars, and fortunately, it can be easily obtained in our country. We have a friendly relationship with a neighboring country called Bliss, near Delhi, where the medicine is produced. Acquiring it in our country is relatively simple. However, I must emphasize that you should not lose hope solely relying on the medicine."
Just as the conversation unfolded, Arik Schmidt interjected with a touch of anger. "Gaurav, why are you sharing this military secret? It should not be disclosed to anyone. I only informed you about it as a favor, in case you ever needed it because of our long-standing friendship," he stated firmly.
Dr. Saxena glanced at Arik, his voice filled with conviction. "What's wrong with that, my friend?" he retorted. "Ever since I laid my eyes on this young boy, I see a reflection of you—a person who would sacrifice anything for their friend. Am I mistaken, Arik?"
