Chapter 34: Electives [4]

****

[Inside the Infirmary Centre]

Amon let out a deep sigh, leaning back against the wall. He was tired and stressed out after what happened.

Michael had been carried inside by Athena and handed over to Claire, who was currently caring for him to the best of her abilities.

Just his royalty status was enough to afford him this treatment.

'Thankfully, it worked....' He thought internally.

When Athena wasn't present there, he truly thought that they were done for.

Fortunately, quick acting and thinking had helped him.

'In the first place, why was she not there anyways?....' Amon pondered.

In the novel, Athena instantly reached his side, making Daniel's attempt to reach him go to waste.

However, for some reason, it had gone the other way now.

Was it because of his interference?

Was her disappearance linked to him?

He didn't know but he now knew that he couldn't trust small plot instances to go exactly like he planned.

Especially with characters whom he closely knew like Michael and Ren.

Thinking of Ren, he would have called him as well but he was quickly transported out of the grounds by Athena to not get harmed in any way.

Thus, he had only himself to count on.

At least for a certain period.

His gaze slowly moved to the side, towards the end of the hospital bench.

Elizabeth sat in an elegant posture but her entire attire was now wrinkled up.

Her lustrous silver hair were messed up, with some strands sticking to her face because of the sweat.

He was truly grateful for her help back there.

If she had not arrived, then he would have probably resorted to his skills, essentially revealing them to Daniel.

He took a deep breath and opened his mouth.

"Thanks for your help back there. I really appreciate it."

Taken aback by his voice, her head moved to the side, her urgent silver eyes peering into his tired black ones.

A small smile marred her features.

"Ahh, no problem. What happened back there anyways?" she asked.

'Ahhh...'

It wasn't really surprising.

It was evident that she would ask this question.

She probably knew what happened from her eyes but wanted to hear it from his ears.

"Ahh, nothing much just that you told me to stay away from the man so I thought he's bad. He wanted to take Michael but I didn't let him because of your words." He explained.

Before Elizabeth could say anything, the door to the infirmary room opened and Athena came out.

She looked at both of them who were waiting and nodded.

"He's alright now, he should probably be back up to normal in one or two days. The electives for today are canceled as we are still investigating what caused this to happen." She explained.

Amon nodded but Elizabeth quickly asked a question.

"So you don't even have an inkling of what might have happened, teacher?"

Athena nodded.

"As far as I can guess, I think his mana suddenly overloaded or went beserk, making his fire element uncontrollable and resulting in a large explosion."

Elizabeth's eyes widened.

If this was true, then how big was the mana pool of Michael to have resulted in such a large explosion?

"Anyways, I'll need to leave now as I have matters to discuss with the teachers. The doctor advises not to visit him right now."

Both of them nodded once again.

She then raised her hand and waved them off before opening and portal and stepping through.

"I'll see you both in class tomorrow."

Amon's head then turned towards Elizabeth.

"I'll probably stay here for some time to look after him, you can go." He told her.

She looked at him for some seconds before asking him.

"Why did you push yourself so far for him?"

He tilted his head.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Why were you trying your hardest to not let that man take him? While also fully using your element to stop his blood? You even shouted out my name for help without a thought." She

asked.

He didn't understand her questions.

With an expression of confusion, he tilted his head further.

"Umm, I don't understand your questions. It's simple is it not? He's my friend so why

wouldn't I?"

His words triggered a flicker of shock in Elizabeth's eyes.

She looked at him in bafflement for a second before quickly composing herself and coughing.

"I see. See you tomorrow then." She waved then turned and left.

'I literally don't know what she meant...' He thought.

[You guys are just too dense to understand our thoughts.] Zephyra sighed in his head.

'Shut up.' Amon quickly retorted.

But it was then that he remembered something.

'Oh yeah, thanks for your help back there.' He told her.

[Huh?] She asked.

'If not for you, I wouldn't have enough time to think about Elizabeth. Thanks for that.' He

explained.

For some seconds, there was silence from the other side.

Not understanding what she was doing, he shrugged and started to leave the infirmary.

The information that he would stay here was just a lie to get Elizabeth off his tail.

There was no point in waiting here anyway.

Besides, he had a better place to be at right now.

But just before he passed through the door, he heard a mumble from the back of his head.

[You are welcome.]

He smiled at her words and left.

Dressed back in his artifacts, Amon entered the secluded streets again.

Having memorized it from last time, he traversed through them relatively quickly.

He finally reached the street he had been waiting for and a smile marred his face.
