#244 - Return to wheelchair

"Reward?" Lin Wuming looked speechlessly at the doctor who was treating his wounds. "What kind of reward is this..."

"Of course it's a reward, and a very precious one—how much do you think it costs to get Heaven Canceler to show up?" the doctor said matter-of-factly. "Academy City, no, probably the whole world doesn't have a doctor more skilled than Heaven Canceler, right? With him treating you, no matter how badly you're injured, you can be saved."

This was essentially giving Lin Wuming a literal "life insurance" policy.

"Of course I know..." Lin Wuming said with a wry smile, "But the problem is..."

The problem was Heaven Canceler's "threat"—when Lin Wuming was discharged from the hospital last time, the frog-faced doctor had specifically come to remind him that if Lin Wuming got injured again, he might as well replace his limbs with mechanical prosthetics.

"That, the doctor was just joking, right?" After hearing Lin Wuming's concerns, Komugi Musashi said speechlessly, "You don't have to take it seriously."

...

"...Well, we meet again, Wuming-kun. Time really flies." The frog-faced doctor sat in front of Lin Wuming with a gentle smile.

Before Lin Wuming could say anything, he saw Heaven Canceler hand over a tablet he had brought.

"What's this?" Although somewhat puzzled, Lin Wuming immediately took it and carefully examined the contents on the screen. "A promotional advertisement? Medical equipment?"

"Yeah, something like that," Heaven Canceler nodded. "Coincidentally, a research institute under the STUDY Corporation has developed the latest prosthetic limb. Its performance is excellent, you can consider it."

"Huh?" Lin Wuming looked over in shock.

The doctor, however, had a serious expression on his face.

"Doctor, don't joke around!"

"You're the one who shouldn't joke around with your body," Heaven Canceler said earnestly. "If you keep injuring the same area repeatedly, what do you think the human body is? If this continues, you can really consider replacing it with a mechanical prosthetic."

"I'm very sorry! I understand the seriousness of the problem!" Lin Wuming quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake. "Please don't give up, please be sure to heal me!"

After the warning, Heaven Canceler snorted and said, "Don't worry, it's just a minor injury."

"As expected of you, you're amazing!" Lin Wuming gave a thumbs up and praised him repeatedly.

"But!" With a stern face, Heaven Canceler added, "The most important thing isn't my treatment, but the subsequent recuperation!"

Sighing, he continued, "This time, before you get my permission, you better use a wheelchair to get around!"

"Oh, okay." Lin Wuming expressed his 100% compliance with this doctor's order.

To be honest, Lin Wuming had already gotten used to driving a wheelchair. In the first few days after he recovered and got rid of the wheelchair, he felt a little uncomfortable instead.

Moreover, without having to focus on physical movements, Lin Wuming felt that his control precision and efficiency of his ability could reach a new level.

Heaven Canceler quickly completed the diagnosis and treatment for Lin Wuming, and with the blessing of his superb medical skills, he didn't even need to use additional medical equipment. Moreover, for him, a broken leg was not even considered a "minor fatal injury", it was a piece of cake.

Heaven Canceler very simply and directly performed a bloodletting procedure on the injured area of Lin Wuming's calf.

After releasing the deep purple, even blackened, blood stasis, he simply cleaned and disinfected the wound, and finally applied his special wound medicine and bandages.

The entire treatment was over.

"Don't I need a cast?" Lin Wuming asked.

Heaven Canceler's technique was superb and his movements were skillful. Lin Wuming was so focused on watching his "performance" that he didn't even have time to feel the pain before he noticed that the doctor had already gotten up to wash his hands.

"There's no need." Heaven Canceler turned back and said, "Your ability is the best fixation, more solid and lighter than a cast, and..."

Heaven Canceler dried the water on his hands: "Wuming-kun is already used to activating his superpower all day, right? Just pay attention and don't let the ability on your legs be released."

"It can also be regarded as a way to exercise superpowers," Lin Wuming continued.

"Decide this kind of thing for yourself." Heaven Canceler waved his hand. "It doesn't matter if you slack off occasionally."

As he said that, the doctor picked up a small roll of bandage that was left over and explained, "This is a special elastic bandage, also a new product just developed in the laboratory. It can resist the impact of external forces within a certain limit and protect your legs."

"In more urgent situations, it can even temporarily support the injured limbs, allowing the injured to gain some mobility," Heaven Canceler added. "However, for you, this function should be meaningless."

In short, this new type of bandage produced in the laboratory is like a low-profile version of Lin Wuming's ability.

But in any case, after putting on the bandage and not being able to see the wound, Lin Wuming felt much more at ease.

Heaven Canceler was busy, and it was already a special treatment for him to take the time to treat Lin Wuming.

So Lin Wuming did not continue to disturb the doctor's work, and after the treatment was completed, he quickly said goodbye and left.

According to Heaven Canceler, Lin Wuming's leg injury only looked serious, but in the end it was just blood stasis and muscle tears—with the medical technology of Academy City, any hospital, or even the infirmary of most universities, could handle it.

As for the most serious fracture, under Lin Wuming's unauthorized "bone setting operation", it was accurately connected, and no additional treatment was required. Next, he only needed to rest.

"So the doctor was serious," Komugi Musashi, who had borrowed a wheelchair from a nurse she knew, pushed the wheelchair and said, "He's really researching mechanical prosthetic technology."

"That," Lin Wuming shook his head, "He should just be using it to scare me."

"Eh, is that so?"

"He's a doctor, it's normal to research and pay attention to the latest prosthetic technology," Lin Wuming said.

"I see..." Komugi Musashi nodded.

Looking at Lin Wuming sitting in the wheelchair in front of her, Komugi Musashi suddenly said, "I'm more used to seeing Wuming like this."

As she said that, the girl reached out and touched the head in front of her.

Lin Wuming shook his head: "How many days has it been since I got rid of the wheelchair? Fortunately, I didn't have time to dispose of the electric wheelchair at home..."

Speaking of home, Komugi Musashi said again, "If Yomikawa-sensei sees you sitting back in the wheelchair, she will definitely freak out, right?"

Thinking of the expression of his "guardian", Lin Wuming also felt a headache.

"She will definitely lecture me, right?"

"You know that, Wuming-kun!" Aiho Yomikawa stood in the middle of the corridor with her hands on her hips, blocking the way of the two.

"Yomikawa-sensei!" Lin Wuming almost jumped up, feeling inexplicably guilty.

"You..." Aiho Yomikawa pinched her eyebrows and sighed softly, "Forget it, since you are already aware of it, I won't be the bad guy."

Shaking her head, Aiho Yomikawa adjusted her mood and looked seriously at the two young boys and girls in front of her: "I already know about Wuming-kun's situation. Komugi, are you injured?"

"I'm fine." Komugi Musashi spread her arms to show that she was safe and sound.
