Chapter 86 - 85: Success!

"It's time to test it." Leo took off his shirt, and was all ready to install the Battle Arm as he looked at Yuji with a smile.

"I ain't doing this…" Yuji immediately shook his head and raised his hands. He wasn't going to do this. This was just too brutal. He wasn't willing to do it when this guy had the option to go and do it under proper supervision.

"I will do it myself then." Leo looked at him with a serious gaze. It was definitely going to be more troublesome for him to install it with only one of his hands.

"You really are stubborn, aren't you?" Yuji sighed, looking at Leo.

"Don't blame me later, it will hurt like hell…" He warned him in the end before beginning to prepare for it.

"Don't worry, I have experienced the pain once." Leo assured him that it would be fine.

"It will be different than yesterday.."

"I am prepared." He wasn't going to back down today.

….

A few minutes later...

"Aaaahhh!!!!"

"Shut his mouth, Spike!" Yuji yelled as he restrained Leo, who was almost going mad from the pain.

Spike immediately pounced onto Leo's face and grabbed both of his lips, shutting them together tightly.

"I told you, it would hurt a dozen times more than yesterday when you removed it." Yuji looked at Leo with a frown on his face as he wiped the blood coming out from Leo's shoulder, and proceeded to fix the Prosthetic Arm.

"Hurry up! People will think that we are abusing him if they hear his screams," Spike said with a weird look on his face.

Leo on the other hand was totally cut off from the world. He couldn't feel anything but pain. It was really worse than death. He knew it was a bad idea yesterday when he had taken the damn thing out, but he had never thought that it would be bad to this extent.

"He is bleeding too much.." Yuji frowned, and then flicked open the screen of his Smart link before dialing someone's number.

A second later, a screen popped up and a figure came into sight.

It was Nora Water. Another fellow, member of the club who was obsessed with poisons.

"What are you guys doing in there? I can hear screams in my lab as well."

"Just come into the working room fast. We need your help, Nuru," Yuji said with a serious look on his face and Nora's brows immediately scrunched a bit as she nodded.

A few seconds later, Nora walked into the room and her eyes immediately widened in surprise when she finally realized what was the cause of all those screams.

"Gosh! Are you people crazy?!" She asked in disbelief as she came up to Leo and immediately pulled her gloves out. The next second, her energy began to flow into her hands as it glowed with a strange light.

Leo immediately found a sense of relief as Nora's power began to work on his wounds. He had no idea what her skill was, but it was definitely related to something with healing properties.

"Will someone explain to me what's going on? Have you people gone crazy?" Nora looked around to stare at the people around.

In the end, Spike took the opportunity and jumped on Leo's head to face Nora and explained the entire situation to him.

Nora looked at Leo in disbelief.

"I don't know what to say to you people, you guys really are being ridiculous." She looked at them, dumbfounded.

….

An hour later…

"Thanks…" Leo forced a smile on his face as he looked at Nora treating his wound.

"I didn't think you were the crazy kind as well." Nora looked at him with a weird look on her face.

"I didn't have any idea about it either." Leo smiled. The situation really could force people to do things they couldn't even imagine themselves doing.

"Well, I didn't think that you would have Healing abilities as well." Leo looked at her, a bit surprised.

"Healing abilities, me?" Nora looked at him in confusion.

"Didn't use some kind of healing ability on me?" Leo asked her in surprise.

"No, that was a numbing poison. Something like Anesthetic. It isn't perfect though, you might have loose motions so be prepared." Nora gave him a sweet smile, but Leo could only look at her with wide eyes.

T-That was a poison?!

"Then, why are you so good with this?" Leo looked at his own body. And, he was sure that the way she had treated him and analyzed his wound to come to the same accurate conclusion as Arthur was definitely a sign of an expert. She definitely seem to have some medical knowledge in his opinion.

"..."

Nora suddenly went silent at Leo's question and then lightly shook her head as complex expression flashed through her eyes, "It's a long story, my uncle was a Doctor…"

[Does having a Doctor as an Uncle make you an expert in medicine? She is one strange person-nya.] Aiden really was speechless.

Leo felt it to be a bit strange as well. But, what is not possible in this world? If he could somehow end up in another person's body, then it was very possible for her words to be true as well. Hell, it would sound more convincing than his situation for sure.

'Anyway, I finally have achieved it…' Leo looked at his shiny black left arm, and couldn't help but feel a bit excited at it.

"Don't lift anything heavy with it for a few days. After that, slowly start the rehabilitation process." Nora looked at him and instructed him about what to do and what not to.

Leo gave her a nod.

"It's getting late, let's leave. The Academy hours are long over as well." Yuji looked at the time, and it was indeed late.

…

"Heal soon, I am interested in seeing what was so special about it for you to go to such lengths." Yuji looked at the black arm, before saying his farewell and parting ways with him.

When everyone left, Leo finally looked at his arm. Even though it hurt, he couldn't hold himself back.

His Arora energy began to flow all through his body, and when it came near his shoulder, it paused for a second as Leo concentrated. And, the next instant his energy seemed to react with the Thunder Metal and his Skill immediately activated on it's own as his Battle arm began to glow in strange yellow-radium light.

"Success!"

A smile immediately formed on Leo's face and he finally clenched his metallic fist feeling the tremendous amount of power flowing through it.
