CH.56 Checkup

CH.56 Checkup[Brian POV]

Hmmm. I slept so well. I feel like, well I would say a million bucks, but they don’t use those here.

But where am I? A hospital of some kind? I think I woke up for like a second, and then was put back to sleep with a sedative.

Oh yeah, Laura. She didn’t respond to me last time. What happened to her?

(Laura? Are you there?) I tried asking her. Please don’t tell me she is gone.

(At your service, Master.) She responded.

(What happened? Where were you when I tried calling you last time?)

(Master leveled up too many times in a row and went into a level up growth. During it, all of Master’s skills were unavailable for Master. That included me.) Laura explained to me.

Level up growth? Well, I guess I did take down multiple wyverns with my summons. Just how many levels did I gain then?

(Status) I opened up my status panel to see.

I’m level 25 now? And I got two new skills? And they are both extra skills? I think I know what telekinesis does. I think it should let me move things with my mind. Definitely nice. But what about this ‘Summoner’s protection’? Laura, I need you.

(Summoner’s protection reduces all damage Master takes while you have an active summon.) Laura told me.

My defensive arsenal is growing. I already had high defense, and now with this, it’s even higher.

Well, now that my level and skills are checked out, I’ll... actually what should I do?

How long was I out, anyway?

(Two days, Master.) Laura answered.

Two days? Really? I guess that would mean I have a ton of pack tokens now. I could open some packs at least. Getting out of bed before someone checks me out sounds like a bad idea.

Oh, pack opener. Come on up.

The interface is new. Well I guess I did get a lot of new sets so this is nice. It won’t be so massive. Well, let’s just open up the packs.

Holy. I knew I opened up a lot of stuff, but seeing it as a list is a lot more than I was expecting. And I got Invasion of Chaos. It has the two overpowered Envoys. And Dark Beginning 1 is also nice, but it does use its own tokens, so no booster box of Dark Beginning.

I was about to start opening some packs, when I heard someone walk into the room. I quickly closed my skill, even though it shouldn’t be visible at the moment.

I spotted a man dressed in a white gown, kind of like a hospital gown. I guess it’s something simple that can be thrown away if it gets too much blood on it. Is he a doctor?

“Oh, you’re awake.” He said as he spotted me. “How are you feeling?”

“...who are you?” It might be a little rude to ask, but better to make sure.

“So you don’t know me. I was told you are new in town, but it’s still surprising. I’m doctor Josh. The only doctor in Alewatch.” He told me. The only one? Really? This town only has one doctor.

“I see. I haven’t heard of you. But I’m feeling fine.” I told him.

“...I see. I’ve never heard of a summoner without one.” He told me.

“Perhaps I’m just one of a kind.” I answered.

“Everyone is. Remember that.” He told me. “And with summons that can take down wyverns, I don’t think not having an attribute is that bad.”

“Well, if you really don’t have one, we can proceed.” He said as he got next to me. “I’ll help you to a sitting position, then I’ll use a light magic spell to scan your magic circuits.”

“I see.” I answered and sat up. I didn’t really need his help in it, but took it anyway. I don’t want to be an overachieving patient.

“Alright, here we go.” He said as he cleared the pajama shirt I had on. Oh yeah, someone has changed my clothes. He then placed his hands on my back and cast a spell. “Light, let me see his injuries, Light scan.”

I felt a surge of magic flow through me. It was similar to when Laura was doing the mana control training, but the source of the power was his hands.

“I feel some resistance. Are you sure you don’t have an attribute?” He said.

“I shouldn’t have one.” I told him. “Perhaps it’s because I have higher than average defense?”

“That could be it. But this feels more like an attribute resistance.” He said.

(Laura, what do you think?)

(Master does not have any affinity with any of the six attributes. It might be due to Master’s mana circuits being not from birth, but made when Master eliminated the dungeon.)

So I didn’t have mana circuits before that. Well, I guess Earth doesn’t have magic, so I wouldn’t have them. But that also confirms that this is the same body I had on Earth, and not a copy. And the ‘birth’ of mana circuits could explain why I got physically more fit.

“Other than that strange resistance, I don’t feel anything wrong with you.” The doctor told me.

“Does that mean I can go?” I asked.

“I would prefer for you to stay a little longer.” He told me. “I would like for someone with water magic to perform a scan as well.”

“I see. Then I’ll stay.” I said.

“I’ll get someone to bring you breakfast.” He told me. “But before I go. Thank you for protecting the town.” He said to me and bowed.

“...you’re welcome.” I don’t really know what else to say.

—

A little later, I was brought some breakfast. It was simple oatmeal porridge, but it tasted good. It had some honey on top. I also had some cold tea on the side. The one who brought it was an employee from the adventurer’s guild. I remember seeing her on the first day. After I finished eating, she took my plate away.

Now I wait for the next doctor to scan me. But didn’t he say he was the only one in town. Then who will be the one to do the second one?

I guess it could be the nurse from yesterday. The one with the familiar voice.

(Laura, do you know who it was?)

(I was not awake at that moment, Master, so I don’t know.)

Well, wait and see, I guess.
