A week after the attack on the Chan-Chiang area, in a hospital facility of the Débacle force.

“Ahhh!” The patient lying in bed with all kinds of meds attached to him suddenly groaned.

.....

“Dr Kim, hurry up and come here the patient just stirred a little!” A female nurse sitting near the patient seeing him making a sound shouted to Dr Kim who was in charge of his recovery.

“Ahhh! Cough...cough...where... cough...cough!” The patient stirred, opened his eyes slowly, then got used to the light and looked toward the nurse after observing the room. He tried to talk about something but ended up coughing because of a dry throat.

“Here, have a glass of water!” The nurse made him sit in a comfortable position and gave him a glass of water which he drank.

“Haahaa! Ummm! Where am I? Ms Nurse!” After exhaling a long breath, he asked the nurse with genuine confusion.

“Creak!”

“Yuri-san, how is the patient!” Suddenly, Dr Kim entered the room in a hurry and asked the Nurse about the patient’s condition.

After looking over the report and machine schematics, observing that there is nothing out of place and the condition seems very normal, he sighed in relief.

“So Doctor, mind if I ask some questions as I am feeling a little confused, it would be much better if you could solve my confusion!” The man asked, feeling a little sore in his muscle, he thought maybe it was because of laying down on the hospital bed for too long.

“Hmmn! It’s not a problem for me to explain but it would be better to let your colleague explain to you so wait a little while and I will inform them of your recovery!” Dr Kim said and excused himself with the nurse, and went out after closing the door.

“Click!”

“Sigh! I don’t know what’s going on anymore, my mind is feeling a little out of sorts. Phew! I just hope those Idiots Jia and Dan will be alright!” The man mumbled to himself and looked outside from the window from where he could only view the scene of the sky with white fluffy clouds and the blue sky filled with all sorts of birds.

The patient lying in the hospital bed is Captain Mathew Anderson who fought bravely with Ancestor Turtle Crab. After getting ambushed, he was poisoned by the enemy.

After that, he lost consciousness so that’s why he felt confused and curious about what happened. How did he get here? What happened to that nature beast?

His questions were answered by his comrade Mr Mcfallen who was glad that his fellow brother was still alive and woken up.

Mcfallen told him that after Mathew Anderson was knocked up, he was about to be eaten alive with his comrades Dan and Jia by Ancestor Turtle Crab. A soldier who noticed the commotion followed after them and that’s how he was able to save them from being eaten alive by the nature beast, he also notified the main cap with the signal so Grandmaster Wuji personally came out to solve the beast’s problem.

The Grandmaster Wuji has a fierce battle with the Ancestor Turtle Crab, at least that’s how it looked from afar.

But in reality, it was a one-sided beating Grandmaster Wuji gave to Ancestor Turtle Crab. As the beast has by nature thick skin so he lasted for a whole hour before his turtle shell was skinned from the Crab and made into a crab stew.

The grandmaster stage is different from the previous two stages as only after arriving on the grandmaster stage, the naturalists would be called a powerhouse.

After achieving this stage, the person gets a glimpse of understanding why that is the case. The true understanding of the universe starts from here.

Anyways, Mathew Anderson got the gist of his situation and his two comrades who are now out of commission just like himself as the poison seeped into his heart which made him basically crippled. So the trio can only live as ordinary retired lives now.

......

“Give me an exact number of how much we personally lost this time around!” The lady sitting in the chair behind the table in an office-like room.

“Yes, Madam Aisha!” The person standing in front of her solutes her with respect and picks up the report in the reading position.

“There are a total of 200 non-naturalist who died fighting the beasts and 300 or so in the injured state, also we lost 30 or so naturalists and 50 or so are injured. We are successful in chasing away the natural beast from the mainland to the islands!” He read the report in an orderly manner, feeling a little sad about the number of victims.

He is also a non-naturalist and works as an assistant to Madam Aisha, as he excels in organising the report and dealing with them so he was picked up as an assistant for Madam Aisha who had to deal with a lot more paper works than anyone else.

“Sigh! We have been losing ourselves faster than we can recruit new ones, and now I have to deal with their family problems. I am losing weight from all the stress those lunatic bastards are giving me!” Madam Aisha sighed feeling sad for those people who died fighting nature beasts and won’t even be known by the world for it. It’s not the first time that she is dealing with this case, every time that they fight with nature beasts and those evil lunatics, they would lose a good number of personnel and she has to write a letter to their family for each and every member who died fighting for just cause.

She feels responsible for their deaths so at least she does this much for them. Every person who died on duty gave a sizable amount of money to their family and a chance to enter their circle if there is any eligible member in their family as compensation.

“Umm! Madam Aisha, I don’t know if I should tell you this!” The man hesitated about the matter he was about to tell her but he still asked for permission.

“Hmmn! What is it, assistant Samul!” Madam Aisha looked at him with a face which says just out with it and don’t waste her time.

“Umm! It’s about the person who saved Sir Mathew Anderson and his two fellow teammates from the jaw of a mid-tier beast.” Assistant Samul said with a weird look on his face.
