Coming home, I start preparing for the finish line, making a plan, and researching the bullies. The first one is Jack. He's a martial artist, simply put, he knows how to fight, and he uses his fighting knowledge to beat out kids out of money. The next one is Brian. He's just someone who got caught up in the wrong group. He's surprisingly weak and just watches from the sidelines, sometimes making comments. Those were the two.

My next problem was the math teacher. I didn't know how to get rid of him. It seemed that no matter how hard I learned, he never truly acknowledged Blaze, which irritated me, and I decided to put it on hold.

As the next day started, I intentionally bumped into Jack, and he started his act as if I wanted to start a fight, but I ignored him. Finally, he got so irritated that he said that he'd see me after school, which was my plan. I also made sure to call his teacher so he could see him using his powers carelessly. Although the way I said it seemed that his student was in trouble.

After that, math class started, and I tried using the tactic of not learning to make the teacher angrier and then tell him that I knew all of this stuff, but he merely didn't care. That was the tipping point. I officially gave up on the teacher.

After class, I decided to talk to the girls to calm me down, and while they did help, they couldn't understand my stress and gave me bad advice.

I finally noticed that I was becoming more and more unstable. It seemed that the longer I stayed, the more damage my mind gained and caused all sorts of emotions, I felt anger, weakness, and even despair, but I tried to persevere.

Soon after the school ended, and as expected, Jack was waiting to beat the shit out of me, but what he didn't know was that in the spectators was his teacher. So, although I had to be beaten, which was dangerous, I would at least try to defend myself.

"Hey, twerp, I'm pretty pissed, so you're going to be my punching bag," He was very predictable, but I knew that I needed to act in character, so I decided to ignore him and walk past him.

When he saw me ignore him, he instantly became angrier and started charging at me, "A mere bug dares to ignore me? I'll teach you a lesson!"

As he charged at me, I dodged and countered. Then, as my fist was about to connect to his face, I noticed that he managed to clock my attack with his palm. Seeing that I was about to get attacked, I backed off.

"That was a warning," I said as I turned back and started walking away, which only fueled his rage about having his friends arrested and harsher training sessions.

He ran towards me and started attacking me. As I was purposefully going easy on him, I let him hit my stomach. When he hit me, I noticed that my mind received some damage and some people around us disappeared. As I was distracted by the disappearing people, I got a roundhouse kick to my head, and I immediately blacked out.

While Oscar was reliving Memories, there was the old man that calmed Ivan's father. He was looking at Oscar and wasn't worried about the kidnaped people.

"This young man's mind is quite unstable. His unconscious and conscious minds are both active. I wonder what skill is he using to make his mind work to those extremes, sadly his intelligence stat is too low, if he keeps it up his brain will overheat and he'll die," The old man was analyzing Oscar's current situation, not only that he also secretly injected his mana into Oscar to see how he would react.

"Amazing control! To be able to control mana to this extent, that skill must be a very high rank. I wonder how he got it. Sadly, the problem is his mana capacity. He doesn't have enough mana to keep maintaining the skill even for a couple of seconds... I should help the kid." Thanks to the old man having a misunderstanding about the skill, Oscar received an abundant amount of mana. (What amazing luck.)

After a few moments, he noticed that his state of mind changed and that he was slowly losing himself, and he would most likely become brain-dead if he didn't do anything. Seeing this, he tapped his foot and appeared by Oscar, cast a sleeping spell and an unknown spell, picked Oscar up, and brought him to the med bay.

When he told the doctors what was going on, they immediately started attaching equipment. When everything was complete, the old man went up to Oscar and put his hand on his forehead only to shout in surprise.

"I-Impossible! How could his mind self-repair that kind of damage?!?!" At this point, the old man thought that Oscar had a unique skill, but in reality, Blaze was currently working hard to save himself and Oscar.

He was so surprised by this fact that he immediately got out his phone and called someone.

"Hey! I need your help. Come over to Melisburg Hospital!" The old man was both worried and excited. He was worried that Oscar would die but excited that he had found a possible unique ability user.

"Damn it, Sir! It's the middle of the night. Can't I come after 5 hours?" A young man's voice sounded through the voice. He seemed annoyed and tired.

"You're the best Mind Mender¹ I know, and I have someone I need you to fix!" The old man was hurrying the young doctor.

"Okay, okay, I'll be there in an hour" Those words made the old man lightly smile and sit down and watch Oscar's slowly self-repairing mind.

Although planes were expensive, they were fast, they could travel the world in about 4 to 5 hours, and that was even with the least efficient routes avoiding monster zones.

After an hour and twenty minutes of waiting, the old man became more and more impatient, but as soon as he wanted to call the Doctor, the door opened, and a handsome black-haired man stepped out, he was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans.

"Sorry for being late sir!" He seemed to both respect and feared the old man, but was also confused as to why he was tasked with helping an unknown kid.

"I need you to heal this kid's mind." While he was explaining the situation to the doctor, he was reminded why Oscar's mind was like this. He immediately called someone and instructed them to send an A-tier hunter to the hostage situation and ensure that no hostages died.

The doctor, being confused as to why was this kid's life this important, was hesitant, but remembering how inpatient the old man was, he started to misunderstand the situation.

'This kid must be his grandson... I need to make sure I don't fuck up!' he immediately got stressed, and to calm himself down, he casted a calming spell right before he began working.

Closing his eyes, he started injecting his mana and muttered an incarnation 'psychikis epidiorthosis'
