Chapter 318 - Competing (5)

"Pour some erigent over Rika," Lucius ordered Ben to put out the medicine.

Evan flinched as he heard me scream from the pain. I wondered what happened to the invention of wonderful painkillers as I squirmed in Luke's arms. I couldn't stop moving as the pain exploded inside my head.

"The cars are here now," Alex let us know.

All of us sprinted to outside the competition arena. There was a whole crowd of people from everyone in our school. Lines of cars were displayed as everyone organized themselves into groups of four.

Unexpectedly, Evan slid onto a seat to join us since there was an empty seat with me being on top of Luke's lap. He crossed his arms, "I can't leave my sister alone."

Since we didn't have the time to kick him out, the car began to drive to get to our destination as quickly as possible. My throat became hoarse as I couldn't stop screaming in pain as Luke's suit was drenched from pouring more erigent on me. Evan pretended he was invisible as he silently watched me suffer.

"I'm going to open the diagnosis machine," Alex opened his inventory.

Evan looked at Alex in awe when he pulled the machine out. Luke immediately pushed some buttons as he grimaced when looking at the new results. He continued to pour more erigent in response as the floor of the car became slippery from the liquid.

"I'm going to feed Rika the bottle from before. Can you take over in pouring erigent?" Luke turned to Shelly.

Shelly nodded as she took out more bottles from her inventory. She shot me an apologetic glance before beginning to pour more. Meanwhile, I couldn't scream anymore as the white powdered drink was slipping into my throat. I started to calm down as this time, the drink was helping with the pain.

When the machine flashed to show that my condition was improving, Shelly stopped opening more bottles. Meanwhile, Luke didn't stop feeding me the bottle of medicine until it was completely empty. Feeling a lot better than before, I coughed as I finally got the strength to get up to sit down.

Shelly moved to the side as I sat in between them. My vision wasn't as blurry anymore as my mind felt clearer. The original roomy car felt like it was smaller with the addition of one more person. Luke rubbed my back as I still struggled to digest the drink.

"We're going to the second district?" I tried to confirm with them.

"The hotel," Shelly answered.

I was thankful it wasn't Luke's villa. Once one of them used heal on me, it wouldn't take long to recover. Everyone's marble vibrated as we wondered who would send messages to all of us. Usually people only sent a message to one person in the group.

Alex opened the message as he read, "everyone in the hotel is back in school. But they want us to stay here for a longer time until they sort out more about the issue."

Meaning, the school who was used to us causing the most trouble, wanted us to stay away before they determined everything was completely safe. Plus, the school couldn't afford to anger more of their prestigious families. Evan appeared a bit confused to why all the students would be inside the hotel. However, he stayed silent as if he was wondering if it had to do something about the recent attack.

"Where should we drop you off?" Luke offered Evan.

"I came to watch over my sister," He glanced at me.

"I'm fine," I managed to cough out.

I didn't want to put Evan in danger with us. It would be better if he returned home, a safer place for him. The four of us knew this problem wouldn't end until we killed sleeping beauty from all the notes. Evan looked at me, disbelieving my words as I leaned on Luke for support.

All of their clothes were covered with my blood, including mine. He already seen me in more than three accidents when the day wasn't over yet. Evan didn't know this was almost normal for us since we've been in so many incidents together.

"I really am," I croaked.

I elbowed Luke to use heal as I couldn't stand it anymore. Luke sighed as he signalled Alex to cover Evan's eyes. Luke tried to create the faintest light possible as my inner organs began to heal. He only stopped when he couldn't push himself any further. Luke and Alex changed spots as Luke covered Evan's eyes instead. After the three of them used all their mana for today from using heal on me, I was able to talk normally now.

"Don't I look perfectly normal now?" I asked Evan who could see again.

Although I still had to be careful as the wounds would rip anytime another injury appeared. Evan noticed the others, who suddenly appeared like all their energy was drained away. He rubbed his eyes, wondering if everything he watched before inside the call was true.

"You can go back home," I suggested.

I wondered if Evan was even allowed to visit the second district. I recalled the rumor that people from lower ranking districts couldn't enter the higher ones. However, this was proven untrue when some students from the fourth district entered the third district for the competition. But I did see how they were under strict supervision.
