The Devil WithInn 135 Healing Her

Then, he peered at the pale Inna and he spoke again.

"If you're not going to send someone, then don't tell me you'll be the one healing her?"

Hearing the disbelief in Ulima's tone, Favian sighed as he paused writing.

"I will see to it that she will be cured in the end."

Ulima didn't trust those words so he scrunched up his face in anxiety.

"Are you sure you can? You're merely a student of by which, what is your name and cla.s.s?"

Favian started to write again as he replied to Ulima.

"I am Favian Frode, from the Rose cla.s.s. I am currently on my fifth year in this academy. In terms of medical knowledge, I may not know much but i'm confident that in the field of poisons, my memory is all that is needed."

Ulima's eyes bulged at his name.

Dear heavens! The Frode family!

The ultimate n.o.ble family that is deemed to be the most powerful next to the Emperor's!

Why is he even concerning himself with that undisciplined brat?!

"If you would excuse me, Professor Ulima. I would need some privacy in healing her. My methods are… considered as my family's greatest secret. If you were to know of it, execution under the Emperor's command would be the most minimal punishment my family can give."

Ulima's knees trembled at the thought.

With the influence of the Frode family and their close relationship to the Emperor, he didn't have an inkling of doubt in Favian's words. He just quietly went out, closed the door behind him, and dashed back to his room to continue his unfinished research.

In the meantime, Favian didn't have to look to know that it successfully scared Ulima off. So, with a sigh, he relaxed and finished up the last note. Then, after sticking it on top of the desk, he rechecked the placement of each note.

Name, family, friends… check.

Inna's situation, Raghnall's explanation… check.

Other important schoolwork stuff and deadlines… check.

After checking that all the notes that filled the top of Inna's desk were correct and complete, he closed his eyes and readied himself for the switch.

"Frode, I need your help."

While Frode was busy with Inna, Raghnall, who was back in the Plant Sanctuary, was anxious to death.

He tried to keep his anxiety at bay but with the inactivity happening on his side, the urge to teleport to the Lily dorms to check up on her was simply just increasing.

Then, when he was about to go for it, there was a sudden uproar from the testing site.

Since there was quite a distance between him and the testing site, he can only hear murmurs on his side.

Then, by the distance, he saw Rira making her way towards him.

"What's happening?"

Raghnall asked Rira through impersonating Favian's voice. Hearing nothing wrong, Rira looked at him with a blank stare as she gestured to the uproar.

"That old man called for a short break. Something about reporting something. Said he'll be back in awhile."

Raghnall nodded in understanding as he leaned on the pillar.

"So, what brings you here?"

Rira leaned on the side of the opposite pillar, sighing as she looked at the site of chaos.

"The students were getting restless and annoying. Said that the Professor shouldn't have allowed a Lily cla.s.s to partic.i.p.ate. Along with stuff like she was the harbinger of chaos and bad luck. And that the only reason she could partic.i.p.ate was that someone strong escorted her in, which is technically not against the rules. After all, those who can take the test are those that are strong enough to do so. And having strong people backing you up is still a form of strength so I couldn't blame that idiot girl though. After all, you gotta stick to the strong ones to get the upper hand in life."

Raghnall, still pretending to be Favian, nodded his head in agreement.

It has always been like that in their world, and no matter how much the world changes, that fact will never change.

"Speaking of the strong ones…" Rira trailed off as she stared at Raghnall with a crafty smile on her face.

"How's my little baby?"

"Uhhhhhh…" Raghnall was at a loss for words.

Little baby?

Did Favian… have a child with her???

The utter confusion and shock that Raghnall was feeling was so immense that it directly showed on his face. Seeing it, Rira furrowed her brows as she crossed her arms angrily.

"So, it's going to be like this? You won't ever tell me? I thought we were friends! C'mon! Just spill something!"

Raghnall wracked his brain for any appropriate response that he could ever give.

He didn't know about this!

So, Favian kept it a secret all along?

So without thinking much, he just gave her an ambiguous answer.

"Uhm… she's good."

Rira looked at him liked he just grew another head.

"She?! Why in the world are you referring to him as a 'she'?!"

Raghnall tried to keep his composure as he laughed nervously.

"I was just messing with you. Ha, ha. Of course, he's a he."

Rira stared at Raghnall intently as though she was trying to figure something out.

"Are you… okay? Guarding the gates didn't make you crazy now, did it?"

Raghnall coughed awkwardly as he tried his best to copy Favian's signature smile.

"I'm just bored watching nothing but plants for who knows how long. Can't blame me for poking fun when bored."

Rira had a look of understanding and her suspicious glance soon turned into one of sympathy.

"Yeah, it is pretty boring being a Keeper for such a minor exam."

Raghnall nodded along, internally glad that she changed the subject.

But he relaxed too soon.

"Well, the only interesting thing that happened was with my little baby. C'mon, tell me what he did!"

Now that the baby subject has been brought back, Raghnall still couldn't figure out what to make out of the situation. He's really not a fan of babies and the fact that his dearest friend apparently had one is enough for him to consider breaking off their friendship.

But seeing that Rira was eagerly awaiting for a response, he had no choice but to take a wild guess.

"Uhm, he knows how to talk now?"
