Chapter 215: Healing

"Alright, thanks lady. Tell me, what's your name." David turned towards the young lady and asked.

"I'm Elvi." Her reply was short and it gave no room for further explaining. David was not surprised by it and he chuckled softly.

"Okay Elvi. Thanks for your help." David said casually. He opened the cover of the pull bottle and place three pills in his palms.

He was about to down it when he heard Elvi said "Wait."

"What is the matter?" David paused his actions and he asked her, a bit confused.

Squirming uncomfortably, under his gaze, he finally responded. "Taking a blood orb together with the pills will increase it capabilities by at least 50 percent. Depending on the quality of blood orb you use." Elvi explained carefully.

"Oh." David was stunned and he frowned. "Why haven't I heard of this before? And the lectures also haven't mentioned this in class before." He stared suspiciously at the lady before him.

She had somehow managed to find some clothes to wear when he had been focusing on recovering from his injury.

David's entire focus on her seen to have made her more uncomfortable and her eyes turned a bit teary as though she was about to cry. David was a little startled. It was then he remembered his ferocious and savage look each time he entered the fifth star. It really was a scary one.

It made him seem like a guy who likes to bully other ladies. "Okay, okay. I'm sorry alright. I just wanted to know if the information is reliable that's all." David tried to console her and it seem to have worked as she replied after a while.

"I found it when I was scouring through the archives for some medical studies."

"The archives uhn. Alright, let me try it's effectiveness first." David grabbed a smaller sized blood orb from his bag and popped it in his mouth together with the pills.

A few seconds later, David felt a stream of cool sensation enter his throat and travel along his veins and blood streams and finally gathered on to the injury on his stomach.

He immediately felt comfortable and a slight itchiness tingling on his stomach. He could feel new peels of flesh growing along with the cool flow sensation traveling alongside his body. Even the tired sensation he was getting after he had activated Fifth Star seem to be also vanishing.

The sensation had just started when it suddenly faded as though it wasn't there before.

"Woah, it really works as you said." David glanced at the lady in surprise and with a smile.

She seem to be happy she was helpful and blushed a little.

"What a cute fellow." David chuckled and he said to her. "You would gain something good if you sell this information to the Black Market." He advised her offhand.

"B-black market?" her face turned pale as she shook are head vigorously.

"Uhn? What's wrong?" David had just popped another pill and blood orb when he noticed her expression.

He then remembered than for ordinary Spryhers, the black market was like a no go area for them. Since they choose not to get into any trouble by going there.

"Don't be so uptight about it. You should go there once in a while to observe. Actually, it might even be the institute that created the Black Market." David whispered casually as he chewed the soft pills and orbs in his mouth.

"T-that is impossible! You can't trick me into going there." Elvi seem to be firm about this and didn't believe David no matter how hard he tried to convince her.

David only laughed quietly and kept silent. It seems she was kind of the uptight kind. If he hadn't caught her doing what she was doing, he would have thought she was the thoroughly upright kind. But he knew she would go try it in secret.

But there was no need to expose her. David smiled at the thought.

Focusing on healing once more. This time David directed all the cool sensation towards his injury. Normally, the sensation was supposed to spread equally to every part of his body and a regular Spryher would be unable to control its actions but David had his ability with him, his absolute body control.

With a thought, he gathered the whole cooling sensation and moved it towards his injured abdomen. The flesh on that part of his body seem to rapidly regenerate as the itching sensation in them increased. The cells in his body were being rapidly replicated just like a Nano machine that knew what to do.

Soon, David frowned and he immediately stopped the process and scattered the effectiveness of the pills to other parts of his body as he went deep in thought.

When he was supervising his healing process just now, he felt that the regeneration of his flesh was about to go off course which had made him stopped the process.

Soon, his eyes lit up as he remembered. It was the formation of scars. His body was about to form scars and he had noticed his healing was about to veer off track. Which was why he had stopped it.

It was as though his body could not remember exactly how the flesh on his stomach was like so it had just decided to connect the flesh anyhow.

But since his body couldn't remember, that doesn't mean his brain couldn't remember either.

Excitedly, David popped the two things into his mouth and he controlled the sensation to his abdomen. Like the finest of craftsmen, he closed his eyes and began to imagine and he began to guide his own flesh healing process carefully not giving any chances for a scar to form.

When he was complete, David was excited and immediately looked down at his abdomen but the flesh adhesive was still there and wouldn't come off easily if one didn't rub the special solution on it.

But still, David was satisfied. The injury that should have taken him weeks to heal had healed in just a couple of hours. It was astonishing.

David was about stand up when a loud voice rang out from his interface.

"The Event had been declared over! Everyone gather to this location in 30 minutes. Please, as the Event is considered over, consider this place the institute and follow the rules as you would back there failure to do so, the punishment will be met."
