It was a busy day. After arriving to the academy Henry excused himself saying that he need to go to the library. However, what he really needed was to check on group missions just as what he told Madel. He can't go back on his words despite her reluctance to join. She might think that he just said that to prevent her from seeing Tristan which was true.

Cheska went from the school council's office to attend the lecture about herbs. They were learning on their own phase. Each of them have different schedules and goals per week. Francis and Helen attended different lectures. When they met up at the centree before sunset, they found Madel sleeping with her book on her chest.

They went to Francis place to study the spiritual cultivation again. Usually cultivation manuals are studied alone or with a teacher. But they were a special case. They were a group of people who came from different planet, time zone, dimension and culture. They learn and respect each other's point of view.

Henry continued his discussion about the checklist about how to maintain a clean body. No permanent marking on the body, no mutilation, no eating of blood, fats, unclean foods, do not touch unclean things, do not touch the body of the dead, do not eat meat which are double dead. Do not mate with your relatives, do not mate with someone who is not your spouse. No mating with other species. No mating with the same gender. Man, should be circumcised. There were more than hundreds of rules to be followed.

Cheska broken it down to the choice of food and actions, then with the actions which can cause uncleanliness and the actions that can defile a person. As what Francis and Helen explained from their point of view, uncleanliness means presence of pathogens while being defiled means having a broken DNA code which could never be mend.

By concept most of the rules were within Cheska and Henry's grasp of understanding. It was hard to hear everyone's opinion about each concept especially for Henry who have never heard of the word microscope or quantum scope. It was to his advantage that he had an open mind and that he meditates on what he learns.

"How are you Cheska? Will you continue cultivating this manual with us? It's a narrow path" Henry asked.

"I… I..I think I will. I need more time to analyze the situation Henry." She said.

She sighed. It was hard to follow the narrow path of spiritual cultivation. First, they live in a polygamous world. Then they consume blood of powerful beast to increase their strength. The meal which are presented during banquet reflects the abundancy of the clan.

Unfortunately, the unclean food such as abalone, crustaceans, pork, family of lizards, family of turtle, family of serpents, feline creatures and beasts with paws are usually prepared during banquets. If those meats are not included, they could be mocked for serving low class food.

With so many things to consider she could not decide easily. Their clan also marks each member who had acquired a tamed beast. It was a great honor for the family which needs to be flaunted. Beast tamer academy only accepts a student from the clan of beast tamers or dragon tamers. But once in a decade they give special privilege for students coming from a different background to enroll. Because the beast hall in their city was in a state of lock down, they needed to travel to other city to try their luck. It was a huge honor to be chosen.

"How are you Helen, have you been complying with the checklist?" Henry asked.

"Look at her pimples and oily face, ofcourse she has not been complying" Francis said with a smirk.

"What, clearly my pimples had been reduced look." Helen sneered at him. "I had always stayed away from those types of food when I was in planet Hilan. It was just that this body is craving for unclean foods." She admitted.

"So you are still eating unclean foods." Francis said.

"I just said I don't eat such food, did I?"

"No you don't" He insisted.

Henry just shook his head. The two seemed to love teasing each other. He gave Madel a glance. She was currently reading a book.

[I think this woman could qualify the prerequisite to cultivate the same manual. If only she could try.]

On the otherhand Cheska had a pained and conflicted look on her face.

"Cheska if you are having a difficulty in suppressing your desire for unclean food, you can have this." Madel flicked her finger and a fruit box appeared. It has a different set of fruits and per usual it was arranged in an exquisite manner.

Although she was touched by her thoughtfulness she also laughed within herself.

[if she pursued her career in becoming an entrepreneur she might get rich.] Cheska thought. Madel knew how to take each opportunity to help them with her merchandise. Surprisingly, she knows when to offer her services and she comes prepared.

"I will join in a group mission tomorrow, who would like to join?" Henry said after they eere done discussing the manual.

"What kind of mission?" Cheska said.

"Nothing much, just the usual. We will treat a patient. It allows four members and above."

"Huh? Treating a patient? With four or more members? Isn't that too many?" Cheska asked.

"Usually when we need to treat a patient one is enough to complete the mission." Helen explained it to Henry. "You see, one of the qualifications to graduate is to complete this missions." She flicked her fingers and a booklet appeared in her hand.

It included 20 minor operation, 20 major operation, 100 level one cases, 50 level two cases, 20 level three cases and 10 level four case. Level one are minor cases such as flu, rhinits, abdominal pain, level two cases are more complicated diseases, level three are much more complicated cases and level four cases are close to unsolvable cases. They usually have multiple organ failure, multiple co-morbid condition, or dying.

Helen explained all of it to Francis. He nodded, but at the back of his mind he was thinking about the medical treatment in their planet. A patient simply needs to lay down inside a machine and computer would assess her over all function. The machine will decide on what measures are needed and it will automatically address the problem. Usually when there is a physical problem the machine will simply realign atoms, protons or neutrons or realign molecules to rebuild a cell or a tissue. When there is a missing flesh or body part, the system will analyze the size of the body part which needs to be replaced. Quantum grafting is the process where the donated molecules or atoms are added to the main body. Through complex programming the machine connects each atom to form molecules, molecules to form proteins, cells, tissues, organs and so on.

Machines used to treat patients have different versions. The high-end machines are as small as sticks containing extra atoms for grafting. The healing pod are used in most establishments.

"Hey your dozing off" Helen gave him a slap at the back.

"There are no physicians back in planet Hilan." He said.

Henry briefly explained the situation and they were shocked. The mission offers a thousand points as a reward. Even Madel was tempted to renege on her words.

"unbelievable." Helen blurted.

"are you sure Henry?" Cheska asked.

each treating mission gives one point for each patient.
