Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Testing Area

October 3, 2017

They sit Qiu Li outside of the testing room while they set up the tests. Aiyun and Ji Ah amble down the floor to Qiu Li, once they made their way to Qiu Li they sit next to him, irritation shown on their faces they seem to be waiting for the doctor.

The door opens and a woman stands to await Qiu Li, 'Doctor Pong is ready.' Qiu Li stands, but before he walked into the testing room, Aiyun turns him around and fixed his messy hair.

'Ah, welcome Qiu Li to our testing area!'

The room is bigger than Qiu Li anticipated, it was a wide and spacious room even bigger than the main area. The room stands even bigger than the average gym, 9,000sq ft. Every area consists of testing zones.

A treadmill in the far right corner, a medical bed by Pong's desks... Even a weight training spot. He sees a lot of sports pre-draft workout equipment as well, a vertical challenger, and even the dots test. Qiu Li becomes amazed by the room.

Doctor Pong makes his way over to Qiu Li, 'Over here.' Dr. Pong points at the medical bed by his desk.

Qiu Li made their way to the bed. Aiyun and Ji Ah followed behind them. Dr. Pong sighs in irritation from Aiyun and Ji Ah persistence.

He opens his dresser door and brings out a reflex hammer. Dr. Pong rolls Qiu Li's pants leg up. Qiu Li flinches in pain. Doctor Pong grows sick to what he sees, three huge scabs running down Qiu Li's knee to barely touching his ankle.

Dr. Pong drops his hammer on the table and called three nurses over to heal him. Once Dr. Pong turned to ask Aiyun Li if she knows what happened... all he found was anger and hatred written on her face.

'Aiyun... don't do anything crazy! we still don't know what happened yet, I'm gonna get the truth seeker ring stay here.'

Dr. Pong could sense the intense amount of bloodlust Aiyun held. So did Qiu Li, he rest his arms on the bed and turned his head to Aiyun. His face alone calmed Aiyun down, but the bloodlust remained. She knew who did that.. and was ready to murder him.

'What happened to Qiu Li,' Ji Ah whispered to Aiyun.

Aiyun was pissed, with anger filling her mind she sat down.

'His idiotic father... I know he did it. It's got his damn wretched scent.'

Even with Aiyun's and Ji Ah's whispering Qiu Li heard every word said. He turns quickly, and that quickly caught Ji Ah's attention.

'You heard us... Qiu Li.'

Aiyun shocked by Ji Ah's question she turns around with a concerned expression. This was unheard of, it's nearly impossible to listen in on her conversations once she whispers. Aiyun is a dual-class ranker, consisting of Mage type and Hitman type, she made it near to impossible for anyone to hear her private conversations. Not even an Assassin can listen to her conversations, yet her son just did.

Qiu Li slowly turns his head and nodded. The room goes dead silent, the nurses healing becomes staggered.

Doctor Pong returns and realizes the vague air. "What's going on?" he asked the nurses. One stood up and explained to him what he did. Doctor Pong nearly dropped the truth seeker ring.

Amazed Dr. Pong rushed to Qiu Li, 'after this you're coming with me to the hot spring.' He then placed the ring on Qiu Li's right hand. 'why isn't it working.'

Aiyun takes the ring off Qiu Li hand and puts it on the left one instead.

'Cause he's a left-handed person, idiot.'

With the feeling of defeat, Dr. Pong knees looking down on the floor. Doctor Pong is a Sensory type or the other words a Supporter who specializes in sensing. And for the first time, he sensed wrong. But from the very beginning, he sensed a large amount of potential in the young Qiu Li, making him really want to test him.

The ability of this ring is to say the truth for someone who can't speak, or if they can speak.. force them to tell the truth.

'How did you get this wound?' Doctor Pong asked.

"... booting up.. *Question: "How did you get this wound?"* Answer: Not Allowed."

Everyone stood shocked, this was the first time this ever happened the ring always tell the truth.

「Mind Control Resistance」

*Do you wish to allow it to pass by*

"Yes." Qiu Li said confusingly.

"...Answer:... His father caught him doing push-ups, and because of his father not allowing any physical activity, he wounded his son.

Aiyun was right, it was Qiu Li's father. And with enough evidence she can go and beat his father to a bloody pulp. But what Qiu Li didn't suspect was the amount of Bloodlust Ji Ah was producing.

「Large Quantities of Bloodlust Detected. Mission: Calm the bloodlust.」

Qiu Li steps down from the medical bed, Qiu Li stares at them intensely, they sit. The nurse's returned to healing Qiu Li's knee. Doctor Pong sat back in his seat, another nurse comes over to Qiu Li and Doctor Pong. She hands Qiu Li a cup of tea. Doctor Pong tells Qiu Li to drink it, as it's gonna heal his throat. Qiu Li takes a sip of tea, and it instantly calmed his throat.

「Beverage Analyzed: Internal Healing recognized, Large quantities of this beverage heal all internal organs during a certain period of time.」

Qiu Li felt his body lighten, there was nothing that he felt he couldn't do. Aiyun grabs Qiu Li's mug, 'is this good...'

Qiu Li nods his head. and Aiyun takes a sip of the tea. Doctor Pong slams his palm against his head. Ji Ah looks at Aiyun with the expression of why are you drinking his tea.

Aiyun hands the mug back to Qiu Li, Doctor Pong lifts his head and tells Qiu Li to finish drinking his tea. Which he did.
