“Flora, you’re up next. Don’t worry; I’m fine.” I patted my leg, trying to put on a convincing smile. It was Flora’s turn to fight next. She couldn’t leave right now.
“It’s all right. I’m here. Flora, you go and get up the stage,” Harry urged Flora. He then bent down in front of me and offered me his shoulder. “Sylvia, come on! I’ll take you to the infirmary myself.”
“Okay, fine. I’ll go ahead.” Flora looked reluctant.
Harry easily heaved me over his shoulder and stood up.
“Be careful, Harry! Don’t hurt Sylvia anymore,” Flora reminded Harry as she patted his other shoulder.
“Yeah, yeah. I know. Quit nagging and go fight. At least get us a win!”
Without waiting for Flora’s reply, Harry took off sprinting to the infirmary. He was going so fast I almost vomited.
“Harry, slow down! I’m not dying or something!”
“No way! Have you ever seen a slow ambulance before?” At this, Harry sped up even more, our hair collectively flying backward in the wind.
When I felt a sudden brake, I knew that we had arrived at the infirmary. Thud! He plopped me down on a chair on the side and went straight to rummaging through a cabinet.
“Young man, I’m right here. What are you looking for in the cabinet?” A chubby doctor with gray hair pulled open the curtain and walked out. He slightly glared at Harry and asked, “Where is the patient?”
“Here. It’s my leg,” I squeaked.
The doctor saw me and put on his glasses, bending down to roll up my pant leg. Watching this, Harry let out a scream, startling both me and the doctor.
Sylvia’s POV
“Nothing. I’m just surprised to see it swollen like this,” Harry said in embarrassment, touching the back of his head.
The doctor examined my shin carefully. “Fortunately, the bones are okay. I’ll prescribe some ointment for you, and you must apply it on time. You also have to rest more lately.”
“Okay,” I replied with a nod.
“Doctor, will there be any sequelae?” Harry asked with a frown. There was an obvious trace of worry on his face. “It looks painful. Warren is such a bastard. I’ll definitely teach him a good lesson. You know what, I heard that he lives alone. Why don’t we hide under his bed in the evening and scare the crap out of him?”
“Harry, forget that absurd idea. The academy has strict rules and regulations. You will only get yourself into trouble,” I said amusingly. But I know how hard it was for Harry to restrain his fury. He always took revenge on the spot. But this time, he couldn’t immediately vent his anger even though Warren had provoked him over and over again. He might be very upset.
At this moment, the doctor applied some ointment and bandaged my wound. “Don’t worry, there won’t be any sequelae. But you always have to take good care of yourself.”
Before I could say anything, I heard Flora’s voice from afar. “Sylvia!”
Then she ran towards me like a gust of wind.
“Sylvia, are you okay?” She leaned over beside me nervously.
“Step back.” I moved my leg away in pain. “You’re pressing on my injured leg.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I’m just too anxious.” Flora immediately stepped back with an embarrassed and panicked expression on her face.
“What an idiot!” Harry sneered, pulled Flora aside, and asked, “How was your fight?”
Flora folded her hands and clasped her fingers. “I… I lost miserably. My opponent was too strong. But fortunately, I didn’t get hurt. My opponent stopped in time.”
As she spoke, she suddenly became angry. “That Warren guy really is a bastard. I used to think he’s a good man.”
When I saw that Harry and Flora were about to scold Warren together, I quickly changed the topic.
“Of the three of us, Harry was the first to lose,” I said, deliberately teasing Harry.
As expected, he didn’t continue talking about Warren. My words made his face flush with shame and anger. “I didn’t expect that skinny man to be so powerful. His moves were too weird. And I had never seen such moves before, so I couldn’t guard against him at all.”
Actually, I agreed with him. I also felt that John’s moves were strange. They didn’t match his appearance. It made me feel a sense of familiarity, but I couldn’t figure out why.
After taking medicine, we went straight to our class. I had to sit at the side because of my injured leg.
“Harry, your limbs are well-developed, but your brain is too simple. You are likely to be impulsive.” As soon as Blair said this, his words elicited laughter.
“What’s so funny?” Harry was embarrassed and annoyed at the same time.
But our classmates were not afraid of him anymore now that they knew that most of the time, he was just pretending to be fierce.
I couldn’t help laughing too, and he noticed it. He glared at me angrily, curled his lips, and turned his back to everyone helplessly.
“And you, John, you excel in speed and skills, but your strength is too weak. You need to train more in this aspect,” Blair continued. Then he turned to look at me and said, “Sylvia, your moves are too simple, and your opponent can easily see through you. You still need more combat experience.”
I listened to Blair’s comments carefully and thought that I should find someone to fight with. After all, only actual combat could make me improve effectively.
“Warren, needless to say, your comprehensive abilities are excellent in every aspect. On the contrary, Flora’s comprehensive abilities are poor in every aspect.” Blair’s words were so sharp and straightforward that Flora blushed and almost cried.
“It’s okay. It’s just the beginning. From now on, we will practice more to improve ourselves,” I tugged at Flora’s sleeve and comforted her in a low voice.
After Blair finished his evaluations on us, the boring targeted training began. But since I was injured, I could only watch the basic video lessons as remediation to fill in my foundation.
Warren’s POV
After leaving the training ground, I felt restless, wandering around like a puppet. It was my first time doing something this evil on purpose, and I felt so terrible that I couldn’t even hold my head high.
I sat by the lake and held my head remorsefully. Things went totally beyond my control. All I wanted was to stay by Alina’s side. I didn’t want to hurt anyone. They must have found out that I deliberately made things difficult for Sylvia.
“Warren, it’s okay. No one will find out that you did it on purpose,” Salt, my wolf, comforted me.
“No. Judging from the way Blair looked at me, I think he must have noticed it.” I was extremely tormented. And it was more painful than being cut by a blunt knife.
“You guys were fighting, and everything you did was just reasonable. Besides, if Blair had known it, he probably wouldn’t have let you go just now.”
Although what Salt said made sense, I still felt very uneasy. “I really don’t want to do such kind of thing again.”
