The Author's POV

Chapter 480

"Here you go, you are all patched up now."

Raising my hand which was now bandaged, I thanked the nurse.

"Thank you."

Thankfully I was able to coat my hand with some mana, otherwise, the extent of my injury would've been worse.

'...If only I was an orc.' I thought.

Unfortunately, because all of my mana was focused on my sword and feet, and given that everything happened in split second, by the time I touched the sword, my bare hand came into contact with the sword, hence the injury.

Had my skin been as tough as that of an orc, I may have been able to come off unscathed. Sadly it wasn't.

Unlike orcs, a human's body was not as though. Although it does become stronger with each rank, a real difference would only appear if someone practiced a body-based art, which was something I didn't have.

An example of this would be Han Yufei's art. An art that specialized in hardening the body, and making it tougher.

This incident right here hardened my resolve to get that art.

"It was no big deal."

The nurse smiled.

She had short brown hair, with a few wrinkles by the side of her eyes. Even though she was in the later stages of her life, she was still fairly beautiful in her own right.

Taking my hand, the bandaged one, and turning it around, the nurse reminded me.

"Your injury is nothing serious. It's just a small cut that should heal in about a day with the ointments I gave you. You can take a potion to heal it in an instant, but that would be a waste."

"Sure."

Taking my hand away from the nurse, I turned to look at the kid on the nearby bed.

He was the same kid that was responsible for this incident.

"How's his situation?" I asked.

"Hmmm."

The nurse's brows creased.

Standing up from her seat, she slowly walked up next to him and placed her hand on his forehead.

After a while, she responded.

"He doesn't seem to be injured on anything, but the mana inside of his body is still unstable. He should have no problem making a full recovery in a couple of days."

"I see."

This was a piece of good news.

However, despite that, I was not happy in the least. That was simply because I found the situation quite odd.

'Ricardo Mainz, seventeen years old, and ranked 1113. He is amongst the weakest in the class, and has a talent limit of D, which should now be C.'

That was the information I had on the student before me.

The more I looked through his information, the more I was sure that there was something fishy going on about the situation.

He just looked like the perfect target.

Given his low rank and talent, by simply exploiting his insecurities, I could see how the incident could've been deliberate.

"Where is the professor?"

Just then, raising my head and staring at the area around me, I suddenly realized that Professor Thomas was missing.

Turning my head, I questioningly looked at the nurse.

"Have you seen him somewhere? I swear he was just here a minute ago."

"Don't worry about him."

Taking her hand away from the student's forehead, the nurse went back to her seat.

"He's currently at the faculty center. He is going there to explain the situation to the higher-ups. He said that he will come back soon."

"Ah, okay."

This made sense.

Since he was the professor in charge and something happened during his watch, he naturally had to go and explain to the elders what happened.

Still, I was not too pleased with him.

Had it not been for my intervention, something bad would've happened. Just what in the world was he doing?

'I think I need to talk to Donna about him.'

Perhaps I may be overthinking and he was innocent, but I didn't want to take any risks.

The best course of action right now would be for me to talk to Donna and convince her to have him fired, which shouldn't be too hard considering that he wasn't really that good of a teacher.
