Monstrous physique

A/N: From this chapter, though is written like this: '______', talking is: "______" and system is [ ______], this is for when skill/spell is used: { _____ }, keep in mind that the POV will still be Mark's unless stated otherwise

I hope I will remember this, A/N ends

"The x-ray has started, please don't move, otherwise I might need to re-do the body scan"

"Ok"

"The scan has begun"

'I see as the scanner moves slowly from my feet to my head, this isn't something I would like to experience often'

"And it ended very quickly, here's candy for you"

It was a lollipop; I quickly grab it unwrap it and put it in my mouth.

'It's taste is okay, watermelon, thank God it's not lemon'

"Are you feeling fine, because there are still some things to do before you will be sent back to your room"

"Yes"

"Now let's proceed to the next room"

The assistant helps me to sit onto the wheelchair and after a few minutes, we arrive at a different room

"Now, I will need to you to fall asleep and I'll be checking a few things."

They put the mask on me

"Now breathe in and out calmly, in a few seconds you will fall asleep"

…

.

.

"Umm, doctor, why is the patient not sleeping"

'That is the question I'm handing over to you, system

[As you have 'Adapt' at such a high rank compared to your age, your body easily adapted to the sleeping drug]

'Ok'

I move the mask slightly up and say

"Just proceed with the checkup, If I don't want to sleep, you definitely won't make me sleep"

"Then we will hold of with the checkup, you have been injected a large dose of anesthetics last week and giving you more might be dangerous, so we will proceed with the checkup tomorrow"

"Proceed with it now, if I even just grunt, just stop"

"Um, okay, the moment you grunt in pain, we will stop, change the bandages and bring you back to your room"

And they began working.

First, they removed bandages and cleaned my wounds.

Then they performed a few things, like looking at the wound, seeing if the stiches are in place, if the wound is healing in the correct way and so on.

After 10 minutes, they wrapped my body in bandages.

"I have good news, better news and excellent news, which one do you want to hear"

"The good one"

"After this incident, your body has hardened, thus you will be less prone to injuries as you grow"

"The better news is that your bones are now one of the densest we have ever seen, so you probably will never receive any sort of bone injuries in your life ever again, unless something serious like this happens.

"The excellent news is that all your injuries are healing in a speed we have never seen before in a kid and the wounds are healing nicely so you will be recharged in a month and a half"

"Why so long?"

"Because of the degree of your injuries is so we need to constantly check you to make sure that you heal good"

…

"Now we will be taking you to your room, your mom and dad are waiting in there"

And they didn't lie, though there is one thing that is annoying me…

"Mark, are you okay, are you feeling pain anywhere, did you miss your parents..."

"Honey, did they feed you well, are you okay, I brought your favorite toys here…"

Why are they not shutting up.

I've been staring at them with blank face all this time, while they were freaking out due to me and not giving me any space to be flustered.

"Maria and Peter Lochem, I must speak with you in private about one thing, this is very important, please follow me"

*Sigh* "Baby, the doctor and we to talk about adult things, give us a sec to finish the talk and we will be right" 

Oh doctor whose name I don't know, you are my savior.

<3rd POV>

The doctor has started the conversation

"Your child's pain receptors have dulled"

Peter then asked

"Is this a bad thing?"

"If he was an adult, then no, but he is a child, as it will be more difficult to learn the danger of things as he will feel less pain than he's supposed to"

"Can you fix this?"

"This isn't even the worst news, please, don't be surprised about what I'm about to tell, as it is both god and bad news"

"Okay"

"His body's adaptive capabilities are almost superhuman, his speed of regenerations is proof of that, as he was supposed to stay in a coma for at least 2 months and then stay another 6 months in the hospital for rehabilitation"

"And"

"This is good news because he will get sick less often, he will gain muscle quickly and so on, but the problem is his brain"

"Why is that the problem, does his brain have a defect?"

"No, in fact it is superior to his peers as I have never seen once my lifetime the nerves sending their information so fast, their information transferring speed is unreal, as for the brain, due to lack of technology we couldn't go into detail, but it's active, and extremely so."

"Could you please elaborate?"

"His brain is working at a speed beating the current computers by tens if not hundreds of times, that's all I can say. From this I can form the first two possibilities: either his ability to process and absorb information is extreme or he has a good king of defect"

"Why is this bad?"

"This will make socialization for him extremely difficult due to his innate view of the world due to his brain. 

And the biggest problem is that the part of the brain responsible for emotions is developing, but slightly slower than average, so expect your son to value rationality over emotions as the best case, worst case he loses his emotions, though the chance of that happening is at best one in ten billion"

"Is there any way we can speed up the development of his emotions?"

"Unfortunately, even if there exists such a method, we do not know of it."

Maria suddenly spoke up:

"I'm getting a headache from this, let's first settle Mark and then deal with this"
