"How dumb. You really think we would escape through fire?" Jackie was going up, he was few feet away from the ground, suddenly his body jerked in the west direction, he sped up.
I did my job of playing dead, already losing my consciousness. Jackie on the other hand sped up at his top speed, he went through the fire he created, passed through the guards by busting heads with them.
He escaped with his subordinates. No one was able to keep a track of him, he vanished in a second, few people followed him but they didn't catch him.
I was taken to the infirmary, there I heard the voice again.
I gained my consciousness back. My head was aching. "Ahh." I pushed myself to sit straight on the bed. The head hurt again, I pressed my hand against it.
"Don't push yourself. Go back to bed." Doc came out from another side of the infirmary.
"What exactly..."
"I am surprised how you survived that. You had a centimeter-deep burn in your chest but now it's all healed. It might still hurt though, don't move or make any bold movements it might unloose the stitches." Doc moved towards me with a syringe in her hands.
"Stitches?"
"Ten stitches, I used all of my power to heal your body which was full of internal injuries, small injuries too. Fortunately, you don't have any internal bleeding, your body was worn from the inside."
"I see." I laid myself back on the bed.
"You can go back to your room or stay here, anything is fine. I will be in the Teacher's cottage so call me if anything happens, if it hurts or something like that."
"Sure, but tell me more about what happened after I fainted."
"Hmm.... we lost our student, Robert Capron, he was killed while saving your life."
'See?!! I said this would happen! Blaming me for what- wait isn't it my fault though?'
"We had a meeting regarding this matter. They discussed his death and wheater to or not to- uh this is not supposed to be told. Sorry."
"Resurrected? Is that it?"
"Huh?" Doc's eyes went wide, "Why do you know about it? How do you know it? It is a top-secret between us Masters, no one is supposed to know about the truth that resurrection exists!"
'Opps.'
"What do you tell other then? What will you tell others if the dead student is coming back to life?"
"We tell them… I am not telling you!" Doc hmphed.
"Are we students forced to get our memories about a student dying erased?"
"Of course not! We tell them the students as not dead and we recovered him-- ah… fuck."
"No profanity allowed from a teacher's mouth. You are setting a bad example for your little student."
"Ohhh buzz oh. By the way… Even if I used all my power to heal you… your wound might leave a scar." Doc sat down next to me with the syringe. "I will give you a pain killer and put you to a long three hours sleep. Rest well." She brought the syringe near my forearm. And injected it into my body.
I opened my eyes, there was no one in the infirmary. 'Doc must have left. What time is it?' Rubbing my head I got up.
The infirmary's door was closed, curtains were pulled down. I glanced around the room to see a wall clock. 'Eek. It's this late?' It was time for dinner. I went to the cafeteria, got my dinner, and came back. I didn't saw Robert out there, nor Devon, nor Rigid. I wanted to know where those went cause they might have been injured pretty bad themselves.
Without giving any other thought I came back to the infirmary. There I spotted a long mirror. 'You have a centimeter-deep burn on your chest.' Doc's words rang in my head, 'By the way… Even if I used all my power to heal you… your wound might leave a scar.'
'A scar huh...' I always wanted a scar, I thought it might make me look cool but now when I am actually going to get one… I dunno it doesn't feel right. But I wanted to check out the scar on my chest, so I lifted the infirmary's oversized T-shirt up.
There it was. A big scar on my right chest with few stitches around it. It was hurting a lot even when I had the System help me.
Unlike other burn marks, this was different. It was not swollen up or something, it took my skin away, it was a faint purple-colored skin over there.
When the T-shirt's sides touched my wound it hurt. But I didn't want to let my T-shirt down, I wanted to examine the wound even more. So I took off my T-shirt, threw it on the bed.
'Huh? This system was not done healing me yet? You would have better done it while I was resting. Wait it took half of the blood level which means it did heal me...'
I suddenly started feeling at ease, the pain in my body started disappearing. It felt good.
"How do I get more blood in my body? By taking irons? Maintaining a good diet right? Or by taking it through salines." I was confused.
My eyes went wide- 'W-what is this System telling me to do? Drink some-someone else's blood? Are you kidding?!'
"Ah. Blood supplements! They might help!" I searched around the whole infirmary in hope of finding blood pouches or something.
After searching the whole infirmary I finally saw a label saying: 'Blood Storage.'
I was so happy to find it at last. I checked my blood group pouch and took it out. 'Huh…?' my hand stopped. I had not realized it till now but… 'But… why does this Ring ask for blood? Don't tell me- it uses my blood to attack people and heal my body?'
That was a big shock! "Yeah, that might be right! Previously, and now too. It just keeps telling me about blood level and blood level. D- damn… so this wants blood."
I went deep into that grave realization.
'I need to keep a well-balanced diet with iron-rich foods from now on. I need to increase my hemoglobin.'
