May 20, rainy day.
“The sound of the rain makes people sleepy, because it is actually white noise and has a natural soothing effect for people to fall asleep more easily, just like how lullabies calm people. So, the rain every year during the college entrance examination period is actually nature telling students to give up…”
“Hahaha, Doctor Ren, you sound like you are speaking the truth. I still need to take the college entrance examination next year.”
In the surgical treatment room of the school hospital of the Heavenly Institution of Lian, a grown man was making close physical contact with an underage girl.
Ren Suo held onto Lin Xianyu’s tender fingers with one hand and placed his other hand on her arm. A warm, white glow emerged like a ball of light from his right palm, and the wound seemingly caused by a knife cut quickly began to heal, forming a scab and falling off shortly after.
After treating her right hand, Ren Suo continued with the left. It was summer and Lin Xianyu was wearing the short-sleeved uniform issued by the Heavenly Institution of Lian. As soon as he lifted the sleeves of the uniform, Ren Suo saw ugly, angry-looking wounds on her arm. He was used to it by now and was not surprised. As he used the “Ability: Heal” to treat the wounds, he asked: “You still want to take the college entrance examination? With your talents, you will likely be promoted directly to the Practitioner Institution of Tianjing, and may even be able to start working immediately after that… Speaking of which, how many more days do you have to be like this?”
Lin Xianyu, who was sitting on the hospital bed, shook her calf and then shook her head. She said, “I don’t know, perhaps six or seven more days?”
“You still have more to endure then,” remarked Rensuo.
“It’s still bearable. Anyway, I only injure myself when I’m asleep, and I only feel a slight pain when I wake up,” said Lin Xianyu.
Lin Xianyu looked down at her now smooth right arm and said, “Fortunately, I have you, doctor. Otherwise, I would have to bandage my arm to go to school these few days.”
“I’m not a doctor, just call me Brother Ren,” said Rensuo.
Lin Xianyu replied cheekily, “Okay, Uncle Ren, hehe ~ ”
Ren Suo pulled the corners of his mouth. Facing such a young and lively female high school student who also possessed a key, Ren Suo was barely able to remain calm as he shifted his glance away from her.
Lin Xianyu was the first high school student to have Awakened in the Heavenly Institution of Lian after the students were allowed to Practice. After she Awakened, Ren Suo was called in to get down to work – she was the first student Ren Suo rescued.
In reality, it could not be considered a rescue, but the way Lin Xianyu Awakened was too terrifying and the moment her heart rate and blood pressure became abnormal, the alarm mechanism in the wristband was automatically triggered.
When Ren Suo first saw Lin Xianyu, she had already been carried into the school hospital. The skin on both of her arms, palms, and fingers were convoluted and mangled as if they had been in a fruit blender, and her hands were lifeless and dripping with blood. Several nurses were trying to stop the bleeding.
Immediately, Ren Suo shouted, “Let me do it”, but was stopped by the pretty nurse, who stood up and yelled, ‘Who are you, what can you do, you are not even a doctor?!”. Then, Ren Suo began his pomp of treating her with his healing ability… No, of course it was not so eventful – after Ren Suo had proven his identity, the nurse and doctor quickly stood back and let Ren Suo begin his “performance”.
In order to treat her two arms, Ren Suo used up most of his Reiki, and the healing effect was very ordinary and nothing extraordinary. In the end, Ren Suo had to change to “Touch of Recovery” and consumed his own energy to treat the wounds.
“Touch of Recovery” was indeed slightly stronger than “Ability: Heal”. At most, the “Ability: Heal” allowed scabs to form on the wounds, while “Touch of Recovery” guaranteed a perfect treatment without leaving any scars.
Simply put, the effect of “Heal” was similar to that of stitching, while the effect of “Touch of Recovery” was such that even a man who had just undergone circumcXXXXX surgery would be able to move about energetically and even stretch his legs wide or jump around. He would even be able to learn the Shinnosuke Nohara dance without any pain.
After the successful treatment, Ren Suo himself was worn out and slept right on the hospital bed for three hours.
The next morning, Ren Suo was awakened by the wristband – when Lin Xianyu awoke, she found that her arms were mangled and lacerated yet again as if they were blended with a blade.
It was only after the incident that Ren Suo understood that acquiring some of the extremely powerful Awakened Abilities might not be so smooth-sailing at the time of Awakening. At times, they had to be Awakened multiple times, and even then the Awakened Ability might be untamed, resulting in many devastating consequences.
Lin Xianyu was one such example, whose experience was already considered a relatively ordinary phenomena of Awakening, as the violent, untamed phenomena of Awakening only occurred when she was asleep, and it only affected herself and not others.
Ren Suo also did not know what kind of Awakening that was at first. It was only after contacting the Tianjing headquarters that the Institution could confirm that Lin Xianyu was not the first of her kind. Her hands would continue to bleed for several days, but it would not affect others.
At most, she would not be able to use her hands temporarily and there would be greater difficulty when using the washroom. In theory, as long as she stopped the bleeding every day, her life would not be in danger.
However, the Heavenly Institution of Lian had a medic Practitioner named Ren Suo and naturally the Institution did not want to lose their first Awakened student. With that, Ren Suo, who had only been receiving his salary but not working for the past half of the month, finally started working. He had to head to the school hospital to treat Lin Xianyu’s arms for the past few mornings.
After the treatment was complete, Lin Xianyu looked at her clean and undamaged hands and thanked Ren Suo, saying, “Thank you, Brother Ren.”
“Hey, you’re welcome,” replied Ren Suo.
Ren Suo pretended to suggest indifferently, “Do you want to catch up on some sleep here? I applied for a treatment time of one hour, so after I leave later, no one would come in here to disturb you. When I was still a student, my greatest wish was to sleep for just a little longer…”
“Hoho, are you trying to hit me up? What would happen if I tell Teacher Dong about this?” replied Lin Xianyu with a sneaky smile on her face as she looked at Rensuo.
Ren Suo was slightly confused, “Huh?”
Lin Xianyu said excitedly, “Stop pretending man, everyone in our class knows that you’re chasing Teacher Dong. Your relationship with Teacher Dong is a hot topic of discussion of our class, you know.”
“Our class is made up of students from all over Xuan Nation, so there was no common topic at first other than complaining about the teachers. But your relationship with Teacher Dong is a much more exciting topic to gossip about than complaining about the teachers, we are all guessing if Brother Ren will be able to melt the cold, strong heart of Teacher Dong!”
Looking at Lin Xianyu, Ren Suo was suddenly reminded of the times in high school when he would discuss about the relationship between the handsome male teachers and pretty female teachers with his classmates.
But Ren Suo had not imagined that there would be such a day when he would be the topic of such gossip.
“Don’t spout nonsense, kids,” said Ren Suo. He used his authority as an adult who was older than the younger teenager as his trump card.
“Pcch,” retorted Lin Xianyu as she leaped out of the bed. She continued, “You have such a good life, every day is like a holiday for you, while we are busy from day till night for five days a week.”
Ren Suo coaxed, “You feel so happy during your two rest days precisely because you have worked hard during the five days at school.”
Lin Xianyu refuted Ren Suo, saying, “With my experience from the 11 summer vacations I have been through, I can assure you that there will be endless joy as long as it is a holiday, and there is no need for the prior hard work.”
The ability of high school students to talk back these days is so much stronger then it used to be. In the past, I had to go home and sleep for one night before being able to come up with such a good rebuttal…
Ren Suo watched as Lin Xianyu picked up her school bag and asked, “You’re sure you don’t want to sleep for a while?”
“I still managed a good night’s sleep last night, goodbye Brother Ren,” replied Lin Xianyu.
Ren Suo said, “Be careful on your way back… Whoa!”
The moment Ren Suo turned his head around, he saw Lin Xianyu’s pretty face swaying right in front of him. Lin Xianyu was elated when she saw Ren Suo’s reaction, and patted his head before running away, smiling.
When the door of the treatment room closed, Ren Suo yawned and rubbed his temples as he laid down on the bed.
He had initially intended to retrieve the key from Lin Xianyu while she was asleep.
“Never mind, as long as I maintain a good relationship with her, there will always be opportunities in the future…” said Rensuo to himself.
As Ren Suo thought about that, he fell asleep in the treatment room.
In his sleep, Ren Suo felt as if he turned into a stick-like object, falling into the endless abyss of the divine ocean, caressed by countless hands…
When Ren Suo finally woke up, he felt two or three hands on his own hands.
“So comfortable!”
“I can’t bear to wake him up.”
Ren Suo opened his eyes and saw Dong Chengling and the other nurses reaching out and stroking his hair.
（╬￣皿￣） Rensuo asked, “What… are you doing?”
“It’s already night time!” said Dong Chengling. She continued, “You have slept for the entire day.”
As she spoke, she rubbed Rensuo’s hair again. The other nurses loosened their grip on him, but rubbed his hair again before retracting their hands.
“So, why are you all touching my head?” asked Ren Suo.
“I don’t know, it just feels very comfortable!” answered Dong Chengling.
Ren Suo sat up and looked outside. The sky was already dark. A large bird flew past outside and Ren Suo could barely see it clearly.
It was May, and when Ren Suo looked at the clock, he realized that it was almost 7 p.m.
“I actually slept here for the entire day…” said Ren Suo as he rubbed his eyes. He continued, “That means, it should begin tomorrow…”
At the same time, a strange, solitary bird flew across the skies of Lianjiang City. It looked like a seagull, but its wings were as large as a vulture’s, and its beak was extremely sharp.
When it saw a mountain peak and wanted to stop to take a rest, it happened to encounter a drone. However, it did not have the slightest fear of the drone, and “killed” it in one claw, completely damaging the wings of the drone.
In the meantime, the staff of a company had just finished a team building session at the barbecue site in the middle of the mountain. They watched as the drone which they used to take a group photo was destroyed by a bird and fell to the ground.
“Are birds these days all so fierce?”
