After exchanging positions with Chen Yu, Daimon Michiko stood at the position of the lead surgeon and stared intently at the operating table with eyes wide open, as if she had entered an indescribable state, radiating brilliance as though her entire being was glowing.
To the average person, Daimon Michiko might have just seemed full of life, glowing with vigor due to her total engagement, without actually radiating light from her body, but in Chen Yu's eyes, the Power of Faith surrounding Daimon Michiko had changed since she took the position of the lead surgeon, as if it had been activated from dormancy and was providing her with an unknown enhancement.
"This is..." Despite being in the midst of surgery, Chen Yu couldn't help but have his attention drawn to the change in Daimon Michiko. Even though he had known about the strong Power of Faith within her, this was the first time he had seen someone other than himself harnessing a mysterious force.
Seeing the change in Daimon Michiko caused Chen Yu to pause momentarily, which prompted an unsatisfied glance from her: "Concentrate, don't get distracted!"
"Ah, I'm sorry." Reminded by Daimon Michiko, Chen Yu quickly snapped back to reality and resumed the surgery with seriousness, but he couldn't help being curious about the changes in her, still dividing a fraction of his attention to observe them.
From the observation room above the operating theater, Yamamoto Hisae was shocked to see Daimon Michiko having exchanged places with Chen Yu. After a moment of surprise, she quickly turned to Professor Kube beside her and asked, "Who is that, why has she swapped places with Doctor Chen? Shouldn't Doctor Chen be the one leading this surgery?"
Without waiting for Professor Kube's answer, she pressed the microphone button in the observation room and shouted down to the operating theater: "The assistant down there, who are you? Why are you replacing Doctor Chen as the lead surgeon? If such an important surgery fails, can you bear the responsibility?
Assistants should do what they're supposed to do, and this surgery must be led by Doctor Chen! Doctor Chen, switch back now!"
Yamamoto Hisae's words made everyone in the operating room pause and look up at the observation room, where both the heads of the internal and surgical departments were clearly present. They quickly lowered their heads; this show of force was not something they could involve themselves in. Doing their own jobs to avoid trouble seemed the most prudent course of action.
"So fast!" Dr. Higashiyama, who couldn't see the glowing Power of Faith on Daimon Michiko's body, was nonetheless amazed by her hands that moved faster than one could imagine, and the precision that accompanied the speed was something he had never witnessed before.
This is Supernatural Power—Chen Yu had concluded in his mind. Through Daimon Michiko's performance, Chen Yu had realized that this world was not as devoid of mysteries and transcendence as he had thought.
If a skilled surgeon could harness the Power of Faith to enhance their surgical skills, it was not beyond possibility for thousands of years of human civilization to harbor... no, there must indeed be other forms of Supernatural Power.
As for why he hadn't previously detected the Supernatural Power of this world, perhaps it was because he hadn't reached a high enough level or simply hadn't noticed yet.
Determined to ask Daimon Michiko after the surgery about whether she was aware of the power she possessed, Chen Yu stopped pondering and focused on the surgery at hand. After all, no matter what else was going on, completing the surgery was what he needed to attend to right now.
————————————————————
"Surgery completed." As Daimon Michiko finished suturing the wound and set aside the automatic suturer, Chen Yu announced the end of the surgery and said to her, "Good work."
Daimon Michiko did not respond, just nodded her head and stepped away from the operating table. She did not immediately leave the operating room, though. Instead, she took off her gloves and went to the other side of the operating table, pressing her hand on Inomata Naoki's shoulder.
Others might think it was just a surgical habit, but Chen Yu clearly saw a beam of light passing from her hand into Inomata Naoki's body.
