'Good things!' I watched Amelia sampling to stop her bleeding injury.
My plan had succeeded - an average cultivator would have suffered a serious, potentially fatal backlash since it is able to damage a higher realms cultivator like her.
"Next time, You won't be… winner!" Amelia looked at me, I smiled and deliberately dropped to the ground, acting short of breath and a few dying suffocating patients.
'Time to use Se in the proper way.' I slowed my heart rate, lowering my blood pressure until I could dissimulate to feeble on the spot.
—Thud!
Ah, I'm quite the talented actor, aren't I? I dunno what supervene next.

"Are you alright?" Gwen squatted down beside Amelia, placing her hand on Amelia's chest.
[Heal!] As the magic took concomitant, gossamer tentacles of energy could be seen contrive across the injury site, stitching and knitting Amelia's skin back together.
Yet… Amelia's flesh glowed like a tiny sun had trapped it.
Then, just as quickly as it had appeared, It faded; Leaving behind only smooth, undefiled skin as if the injury had never been there.
The threads were like mirage in the desert heat, contracting and tightening until the wound was irreproachable and occluded.
"Woah!" Amelia's eyes shone with amazement, sparkling like stars, but she quickly composed herself, adopting a cool, unruffled expression.
"My, my, there's no need to be so frosty around me." Gwen giggled, giving Amelia an affectionate pat on the head before walking over to join Iris' side.
"Mm!" Amelia nodded without altering her own serious face. Gwen placed two fingers on her neck, sending a pulse of Se inward.
"... Amelia, can you take her to the nurse's room?" She asked wryly, reification that Iris had fainted due to exhaustion from using that attack.
It would be better for her to wake up naturally rather than artificially by her.
"Why?" Amelia has a questionnaire eye with curiosity.
"Because everyone is busy with their battles. I know she won't be able to attend the whole next classes and students council." Gwen explained. "When she wakes up, take her to your dorm room since you're her roommate. And I will take care of everything."
"... Fine, but I want something in return." Amelia grinned ear to ear. Gwen felt a sinking feeling in her stomach as she nodded.
"Take this girl as your disciple just like me and make her stronger. From my perspective… She is talented but isn't alive to how to use her techniques… Also, I won't take any classes today because I have a job to be done."

"Why are you here?" I asked a few hours after my act, staring deeply at Amelia who was sitting on a chair beside my bed in the nurse's room.
"..." Amelia was reading something from a book, not responding to my question.
"... Pervert!" I randomly blurted out, and Amelia glared at me. Ouch, her gaze felt like an arrow piercing my heart.
"...I'm your roommate, and it's my duty to take you back to our dorm room as per our teacher's orders." Amelia returned her attention to the book, knowing I was just messing with her.
"...Huh!" My eyelids twitched as I comprehended her words. It wasn't a situation I had anticipated, but what could we do about it now?
"Oh! You're awake, young lady." a beautiful female doctor exclaimed as she approached me, softly snatching my wrist, inadvertently vibrating. I quickly took it out since Mia's body doesn't like it.
"Ah Sorry for this… Are you feeling any discomfort or pain?" The doctor looked at me with pity. Eh, Is she apprised of Mia's nightmare… No! I'm overthinking.
"Ah, no!"
"Okay, are you experiencing any kind of mental heartbreak?"
"Um, I just always felt a slight throbbing sensation in my head."
"I see!" The female doctor nodded, crossing her arms under her bosom. "Have you swallowed any wine recently? Do you have symptoms that make you sculpt alcoholic beverages or substances? I mean, do you also take in recreational drugs on a weekly basis?"
"H-Hey! A simple juice or wine is acceptable for me, but drugs..." My voice quivered as the doctor narrowed her eyes. I could feel pressure.
"Are you certain?"
"..."
"..."
"I'll take this as a yes, you do gratify in drugs." the doctor noted in her journal.
"O-Okay, I admit I did take drugs, but it was in the past... Almost five years ago or more, as a means of relief from depression. But at present, I only quaff wine to unwind."
What I described wasn't a lie at all. Because when Mia was bullied from the tender age of eight, she found solace and stimulation in these kinds of items.
It was to alleviate her pain and stress, Mia resorted to using drugs and injecting it through injection.
… This wasn't a choice she made willingly, but she began bullying those weaker than her to pent up, aligning herself with a bad gang. Yes, the entire world was switched-on of her episode.
Urgh, She was known as a third-rate villainess, but no one knew the underlying reasons behind her behavior except for me and Harriet.
Of course, drugs were not to my longing or liking, but I roister drinking wine due to its taste.
"... I see!" The doctor brought her hands close to my body, particularly near my shoulders, and fortuitously my body teetered for a second.
I-It wasn't my own feeling, but Mia's plus her bodily memories were resurfacing.
"Ah, so what you said was accurate?" The female doctor turned her gaze toward Amelia as she backtrack her hand.
"Mmm!"
Huh, what were they discussing?... D-Don't tell me…
—Gulp!
Suddenly, Sweat dropped from my temple as I somehow intuited...what they were talking about, but I didn't want to listen to it. It wasn't my own sentiment, but Mia's bodily sensations.
Harriet had informed me that when she transmigrated into this body, Mia's entire soul had link-up with hers, preventing Mia from reincarnating and leaving her nearly lifeless.
However, A short fragment of Mia's feelings had become attached to me. Thus, Mia was now a part of me or at least her emotions and memories.
The doctor looked at me… "Mia white, Were you…?"
