Chapter 273 - 273 273 - Plans and Somewhat Interrogation
273: Chapter 273 – Plans and Somewhat Interrogation 273: Chapter 273 – Plans and Somewhat Interrogation As Jennifer left and the nurse started treating my arm with similar healing sigmat like Elisabeth’s.
But unlike her, the nurse’s sigmat was made out of slimy tentacles and its effect worked as it tightened around the injured places.
I felt a cold sensation filling up my hands and felt better.
With my eyes, I could see through the tentacles and see that my hands were healing at a visible rate.
Which also shocked the nurse, because her sigmat power shouldn’t have such fast regenerative skill.
“What the?…
Are you doing this or…?” The nurse asked as I played innocent.
“What are you talking about?
What happened?
Is your power not working?” Hearing me, the nurse felt confused but didn’t ask anything else.
She continued doing her work.
The regeneration was partly her fault but without my body accepting and simultaneously using its own factors, it wouldn’t have healed so quickly… but why tell that to an academy employee?
It’s better to let her think that she’s special rather than her telling her superiors that I am special.
As her powers dwindled to an expected point, she stopped healing me.
Then she started bandaging me as I thought of what to do from here.
Well, three things are of utmost important right now.
The first one is right in front of me… The Exam.
Which I don’t need to fret about at all as I already defeated Arthur.
Now it’s just a matter of time and a few more fights before I win this whole thing.
So The Exam’s already in the bag.
The Second thing is the thing that’s going on with The Snake Tails.
I don’t really know what their planning but I need to take care of it quickly, before they do something irreversible.
The Third thing is the Princess.
She should be talking with Abigail or her correspondents at the time being, creating peaceful talks and what not.
If I’m right then, she would be attacked tomorrow and die.
Which in turn would spark the fires of war and start one between Leonidas and Sekai.
In the novel, Arthur hated war but used it in his advantage.
He admitted in the army and in a few months he came out as one of the most honorary knights out of the whole thing.
Which in turn grants him a whole lot of allies and armies… which he then used to rage war against Abigail and the rest is history.
But not this time… this time she has me to change it for her.
In terms of order, since the matter with the princess is very important, I’ll take care of her first and then see to the Gang matter.
Let’s see if the princess has time to meet an exemplary citizen of this kingdom.
“There, it’s done.” The nurse said, tightening the bandage.
She wrapped both hands in bandages and hung them around my neck.
“Even though I don’t know how I sped up the healing, but I’ll tell you to keep still for a while.
The damage to your hands is quite bad so don’t put more pressure on them.” “If you would heed my advice, I would say drop out of this Exam altogether.
It’s better to take your chance later in the future then lose everything in the moment.” “I don’t think I’ll listen to it, but I’ll take your words to heart Ms…” “Nurse, just nurse for you boy.” She said and gave a scrutinizing eye as if I was suggesting something else.
The shroud of the room went aside as a few teachers came in, “If we may?” “Come in, the patient is okay enough for whatever it is you want him for.” Thomas was at the lead, “What about his hands, will he be able to fight tomorrow?” “Maybe…” The nurse took a look at my bandages, “But it’s better if he stayed put.” “I understand, thank you for your help.” The nurse didn’t say anything and left.
“So…” I look at the group of teachers that I already knew about, “Are you guys actually worried or is this visit about something else?” It was Thomas, Jennifer, Harold, the scrawny one that joked about Arthur that day and the strong muscle guy that defended the crystal ball.
“Unfortunately, it is about something else.” Thomas said apologetically and took a chair, “May we sit and talk to you for a moment?” The musclehead didn’t like the way Thomas spoke, “Show him your panties as well will you?
We are here to interrogate him, not politely ask if he wants to be grilled!” “Huh… interrogation?” I say, a spark of confusion and innocence on my face.
“Whatever that may be for, teachers?” Jennifer sighed, “Don’t make this harder for you, Henry.
Just answer truthfully and this could all go so easily.” “I would like to answer… but unfortunately my lawyer isn’t here with me and you haven’t actually told me what this is about.” “So you are ignoring it huh?” The scrawny guy said, “It doesn’t matter, I have ways to put you in a strapped bed and gut some answers out of you.” “Wow!
Teach, that’s some A Class level interrogation skill you have.
Even my squad who are adept at such a thing, pales before your fine expertise.” My words made his face pale at what he thought would make me squeal.
“Bam!” The muscle-head hit his palm over the table, making the utensils fall.
“Speak the truth damn it!” The dog barked closed to my face as I kept my annoying smile.
I could get angry here and blow everyone to kingdom come and escape but that wouldn’t be as fun as making this guy lose his mind.
“That’s enough, Languister!” Harold spoke to the musclehead, “Keep your hands to yourself and stop threatening the boy.” “Boy?…
Did you see what this boy did to that other one?” Languister said, “We aren’t sure if that kid will survive or not.” “Oh, he’ll survive.” I say, “I know he will.” Languister snarled, “He better… or it will be on your ass.” Thomas took the point, “What we really came here for?
What happened back on the arena, Henry?” “You mean his sudden enragement.” “Yes” Thomas nodded.
“You’re gonna have to ask him, yourself.
I did say something about him not being strong enough, yada yada… that may have something to do with it.” “That’s all?” The musclehead spoke like I was keeping stuff hidden, of course I was.
“From what I know, he’s going through a rough patch these days… with the explosion and Lazarus…” “What with Lazarus?” Jennifer came forward.
“From what I seen from afar, the two seemed to have a good relationship.” “How did they meet?” She asked and I shook my head.
“You’re gonna have to ask him that too.
Anything about Lazarus, the guy keeps shut.” “Alright… we will.” That last part gave me some joy.
“But this doesn’t mean, you’re okay.” Languister said.
“You still haven’t told us what happened with that boy.” “Well, I know what happened to him,” They all looked interested, “But I can’t tell ya.” “What!
Why?” Jennifer and musclehead asked at the same time.
“It’s his secret… I can’t say it.” I smile, “If you want to know, you’ll h-” “Have to ask him, we know.” Jennifer said.
“Unfortunately, you put him in such a state, that we don’t know when he’ll be responding.
So we’re taking you as our main culprit.” “Culprit or Lead?” “Same thing.” “From where I stand… no, it’s not.” Before things could get heated between us, Thomas stood up, “Alright, I think we should leave so Henry could rest up.” “What!
But what about the interrogatio-” “There isn’t going to be anything like that!” Jennifer screamed to his ear.
What do you think?
