Everyone was shocked to see Tahir lying flat on the ground.
Moving from her current position, Cassy was heading towards Tahir.
"I just want the sword, if I don't take it they will kill me and everyone close to you. I'm sorry but I need it to save myself". Cassy kept seeing out loud while heading to Tahir.
She was half way there when Jude created an earth wall blocking her. Immediately Zahra Freezes her legs. Kris hit her with a lightning bolt and stunned her.
Right before Tahir passed out, he let out a surge of invisible Qi. The Qi was heading fast as he reached the end of the portal. John felt it, it was a call for help. Telling the junior officer to take the others to the school. He moved fast as he enhanced his legs with Qi making him almost invisible. Moving through the woods and dodging the beast. He arrived at a sealed out cave.
"I'm very sure this is where I felt the Qi wave from. Qi is still all over this place". John said to himself.
Taking his sword, John let out his own Qi surge, a sign to tell whoever was standing close to the entrance should move.
The surge hit Tahir as he managed to force his eyes open.
"Hey, I'll advise you guys to move away from the entrance. Help just arrived". Tahir struggled to say.
Kris took the stunned cassy and moved together with others as a large slash cut through the blockage In Front of the cave.
Looking around he could see a lot of dead bodies and could see a weak Tahir lying down.
Moving to the young student. He asked what happened.
"We were attacked by the beast. Somehow we and the rest survived, the others couldn't make it". Jude said.
Nodding his head he moved over to Tahir. Touching him, he could feel his high temperature.
"Do we have a healer here? He needs to be treated or else he might not make it back in one piece, we also need a way to cool him off, an ice ability user might be helpful" John said out loud.
Stepping out, Esha volunteers to heal Tahir. Zahra went ahead creating Ice bed as Tahir was placed on it to cool his temperature.
John tore Tahir's shirt while explaining that the healing would work faster that way. Immediately Tahir's whole shirt was taken off. Scars could be seen all over his body. Large cuts, slashes and injuries.
John couldn't help but smile. Esha's hands were visibly shaking as she saw the marks.
Stealing a glimpse at her, John said,
"Wounds of a swordsman are something to be proud of, so worry less, it an honor for him"
Esha couldn't still bring herself to believe someone this free has been through a lot of pain. Placing her hands on Tahir's chest a glowing green flame could be seen emitting from Esha's hands.
Placing his hands close to Tahir, John was healing his body using QI.
[Foreign energy invading host's body]
[Energy considered Safe]
[Accept energy? Yes/No?]
Tahir said yes. Immediately he could feel a soothing feeling around his body
As he opened his eyes slowly .
"Looks like you managed to survive after all," John said with a chuckle.
"I'm not dying anytime soon". Tahir smirked.
"What's wrong with her?". John asked while pointing at the already passed out Cassy.
"Ohh she got scared and sort of passed out, I think she isn't used to too much Blood" Kris blurted out while carrying cassy on his back.
"Can you walk?" John asked Tahir
"For now, no, I'm really weak and spent," Tahir replied.
"In that case I'll carry you, we were attacked earlier, some of the students have been taken for treatment, the portal would be closed soon, so we have to hurry" John said while lifting Tahir.
Lifting Tahir and arriving right at the portal, Tahir was taken and placed on a bed while being rushed for treatment.
Before reaching, Cassy was awake but didn't talk as Kris and her headed back to the dorm room.
Right in the dorm room, Kris had created an ice chain as cassy hands were bound.
"If I don't bring the sword, they will come for me and him, they will kill you all, I'm not some normal kid like you all, neither is Tahir. This is for your own safety" cassy said, trying to buy her way out.
"He told us, you think he didn't let us know he isn't some ordinary guy? We trust him. He risked his life out there for us. Why will you still try to take away his sword?Whoever and whatever comes our way. I'm sure we will be safe" Kris said.
"You all do trust him right? You do know his level 2 right?He is weak, protecting you guys is impossible against this guys." Cassy said.
"Same level 2 who went up against a legendary humanoid beast and survived? Something most level 8 can't do. I'll rather risk my life with him than with anyone else. You disappointed me cassy. You really did" Kris said as he walked out with anger.
Back at the hospital,
"You awake, your friends have been waiting since, they just stepped out to get something to eat, how are you feeling now?" A young nurse asked Tahir.
"I'm fine, thank you". Tahir replied with his usual smile.
"You lost a lot of blood and from everyone here, you are the one recovering fast, you are really lucky." The nurse said.
Tahir and the nurse were discussing when his friends stepped in. Excusing herself, the nurse left to let the young friends all have the room.
"I'll be outside the counter, if you need anything please reach out to me or ring your bell and I'll be right there." She said before leaving.
Sitting on the bed, Tahir was now alone with his friends, he knew somehow he was going to explain to his friends what his rapid healing was about.
But before that, Kris handed him a bottle of liquor. Opening the bottle Tahir took a large gulp.
