36 On to Your Aid

"Sir Zync, what just happened" Zero asks with a worried look on his face. Lilith did the same as she intently stares waiting, likewise, for an answer. Professor Zync shifted his sight towards the direction of the students, he too searching for a response to the question thrown.

The distant cries and grumbles from the crowd still lingers in the enclosed place, freshly carved in the minds of the freshmen.

The sophomores on the other hand were sturdy in nature, enabling themselves to roam around, helping those who shivered from the shock. Zync covers his mouth with a spare handkerchief from his left pocket, preventing himself to inhale the foul odour waff in the atmosphere. "It appears where in a spolarium of some sort. Cover your nose, you lots. It smells like a reservoir of rotten corpse" Professor Zync replied in a mushy tone, blocking his audio from his covered mouth. The two followed their professor's suggestion, covering their nostrils momentarily, as they eventually sniffed the awful halo. "It stinks!" Lilith exclaims. Zero just stood quiet, unfazed from the stench for he had smelt far worse than the spoiled carcass. The group slowly moved forward towards the injured circle, hoping they could at least provide them their first aid; upon necessary. "Are you alright? What happened?" Zync catechize the three students staring aimlessly, seeking for help.

Their pupils had finally met with the professor's, shifting the student's faint gloomy eyes into relief and hopefulness.

"P-please help us. M-my classmate. She landed severely on her leg. I... I don't know what to do" stumbling down from his knees, the guy with a sallow coloured jacket stained with blood came pleading for help. the tears from his eyes are evidently seen, making his adroit face swollen from the stress he had to experience, while the gushing scarlet fluid coming from her thighs both in sync, slowly spilling on the floor.

"What's your name?" Zero asks, kneeling down nearest to the girl as he rummages in his bag, finding the utmost things needed for care. What he had found was a pair of clean clothes, 5 bandages, scissors, a pen light, and a bottle alcohol. He was never versed in the field of a medic but he knew the proper decorum as an emergency situation might arise. His mother is a well-known nurse, after all. With his compact information which came from his random events, from reading various medical journal and the like, he assess the wounded woman and locates any abnormalities. He disinfects himself using his handy alcohol and thoroughly observes and palpates her most evident wound, right beside her own puddle of blood. The girl coughs out a spit of blood, before resuming to her answer.

"Jane..." She mumbles monotonically. Jane is also wearing the standard, freshmen uniform with a ribbon aesthetically placed on the side of her hair. Despite her gruesome presentation, nevertheless she looks quite outstandingly cute based from her outward appearance. Zero didn't mind these little details as he focuses more on saving the life of his fellow student.

A guy, who's seated right across the lying Jane, fixes his glasses, avoiding those droplets of water ruin his visions upon the glassy ware. Tears like a river flows down through his cheeks, making Zero's group realised how significant Jane's life is. 'They must be their closest friend', he thought.

Zero finally patches up the few remaining bandages and the wounds which was clearly threatening to the possibility of an occurring haemorrhage. The painful expression that bathe upon her face slowly diminishes from sight and her soft grumbling voice settled in, indulging her in a deep sleep. Lilith stepped forward and casts a few healing techniques, which was secretly amplified by Professor Zync unbeknownst to all, except for him.

Upon completing his desire on saving the injured student, a familiar game like box pops up, blocking his perspective

Healing magic has a wide array of theories according to the school's libraries and profound professors. They said that having the class of a 'Priest' or a holy entity brings the person closer to god, to whom they wished to believe on.
