Though some n.o.bles might suffer death, none had the right to complain, it was well known that the school will hold no responsibility for the death of anyone that ventures out into the undying forest. Yet the school still holds ground for treatment, a hospital of sorts. It was to help those that were injured or are suffering from diseases.

This hospital was situated on the top floor of the school's main building. In one of the rooms, a loud screaming could be heard.

"How long is this going to last?" Said the lady of the royal lineage Lissandra.

"I don't really know," replied the headmaster who seemed to be weaving Qi into the body of the boy who was screaming in pain.

"He should have died a hundred times over by now. Yet something keeps pulling him from the rims of death to the threshold of insufferable pain, not letting him even rest in the oblivion of sleep nor losing consciousness from the pain." Said the Headmaster.

The commotion brought many to that room, most of them were students that were chased away, yet the rest were teachers and health carers who came in. both interested and with a bit of weariness.

"I sent a message to his mistress, she should be here soon." Said Lady Lissandra

"Good, however, it might be a bad idea if she sees him in this state." Said the old man

Thankfully the black lines receded a bit, but they still looked frightening. So that the boy doesn't get labelled as one of them, he was brought in while a cover was hiding his body.

"It is alright, at least he still lives," said Lady Lissandra

"How are your injuries by the way?" asked the headmaster

"Mor or less alright. Before that thing attacked us, he made me a Qi and body restoration pill. All injuries I suffered were healed, and I have yet to fully absorb it. It was of the finest quality…"

"A qi and body restoration pill? Are you sure about that?" said the headmaster

"Yes, that is what he called it, I am sure that at least one of the ingredients is a moonlight b.u.t.terfly's wing and he used one of them, I was injured when I was fighting the b.u.t.terfly and he used that to treat my wounds." Said Lady Lissandra. Though she was unconscious while Basara was making the pill, she still woke up and saw that the b.u.t.terfly only had one wing left which was later destroyed by the conflict between the headmaster and that beast.

"That is incredible. I am not trying to say that I don't believe you, but a body and Qi restoration pill requires at least three days to become ready, and even then its quality might not be that great. The ones we have in this school are of moderate quality and they took a lot of time to prepare… seeing the Qi fluctuation in your body I can a.s.sure that indeed, the pill you took is the Qi and body restoration pill, and also it's quality… is unprecedented… if the boy was able to make something like that… I think the Receptarier Guild will do everything in their power to acquire him… you must keep this a secret." Said the Headmaster.

"Of course. Still, I feel guilty due to being unable to provide any help." Said Lady Lissandra looking gloomy and sad.

The headmaster laughed looking at her expression, indeed it was rare to see a n.o.ble feeling pity or guilt towards a servant, however a royal person? This boy is sure is blessed the headmaster thought.

"What about his weapon?" said Lady Lissandra

"It was too heavy… not even I could pick it up, I don't know what monstrous strength this boy had to easily wield such a weapon, however. I hid it well, none shall uncover it and I closed off the Undying forest. One more thing, the incident where a teacher was found to be one of them must remain a secret. You of the royal family should know best."

"I do, there is no way the royal school will admit it. A teacher as one of those monsters is a political nightmare…"

The door to the room burst open where a fl.u.s.tered and angered lady entered

"You!" the lady wearing a red dress shouted "What have you done to him!" she said as she looked at the boy in incomparable pain.

"Hold it, young lady," said the Headmaster

"You need to know some things." He added explaining the situation

Indeed, lady Akari of the house Ling would feel distraught finding out that her servant was met with an incident. She came running towards the first culprit she could think of. The lady of the royal family.

The motto of the house Ling was to never back away from a challenge and never let others bully them no matter who. Not even the royal family could oppress them. And thus she came. Knowing that before this calamity befell her servant it was this royal member that was last to contact him.

Once the lady understood the whole story, she felt both helpless and shocked. Due to her being the boy's master she was ent.i.tled to know of the incident, and due to the background of her family, she was also trusted with the information.

"I can't believe all of that happened. It has only been two days since we applied and already many things happened…" said Lady Akari looking with a sad expression on the boy in pain.

His body was convulsing, snot and tears running down his face unable to speak a word but shouts of continuous pain. His voice turned hoa.r.s.e but he could not calm down. The black veins on his body would burn and retreat, but with every inch, they withdrew, they would bring more pain.

"How long will this last?" Akari said looking at the headmaster

"He is recovering rather fast. By tomorrow the backlash should be over, however his ability to use Qi might be harmed, he may probably no longer be able to a.s.similate Qi…" said the Headmaster

"How come he used such a powerful attack is still a mystery to me, yet it cost him way too much… without his help, I would have probably still been fighting that beast right now… or worse…" said the Headmaster.

"What did it want from Basara?" asked Lady Akari.

"His book…" replied Lady Lissandra

"His book? It is filled with nonsense, what would one of them need of it?" replied Lady Akari

The headmaster had a solemn look on his face.

"It seems that my doubts were correct…" he said

"What do you mean?" replied the lady in red

"This is something that many of you don't know… but long ago, when the calamity struck, there was but one to challenge it head-on. A powerful being that stood against it. Of all the powerful men and woman of that age, all fell at the sight of the calamity, thus our lack of understanding of what truly it was, all but one. The same one that destroyed the Singularity of Jahad, the same one that wrote his name in history with blood and death that followed him… the Conqueror. He too wielded a book like this… or so the rumours said." Explained the Headmaster with a solemn look

"You mean? Basara has the same book as that hero?!" The girl looked at the convulsing basara and matched it to the legends of the conqueror. 

"This is bad..." she muttered.
