Legendary Soul Art
43 Medical Center
"Well done," Number One praised Nami after moving away from the crowds. "To think you are this pro at bantering. I need to be careful if I ever argue with you."
"I would never argue with you. I'm usually polite but that onion was threatening you. I would naturally smack anyone who wants to hurt you," Nami replied before squeezing his palm with a worried gaze. 'How confident are you?'
That question appeared in his mind and Number One knew exactly what Nami was talking about. 'Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'm sure I can beat them after a short preparation.'
'Alright then. I trust you fully. Let me know if you need anything,' Nami informed while leaning her head on his shoulder. 'I will even fight as your duo if needed.'
'That won't be necessary. Would I be Number One if I couldn't handle a few senior students?' Number One thought calmly and caressed Nami's cheek as they finally reached the Medical Center.
To their surprise, they were immediately stopped by two unknown men who were blocking the entrance. "The Medical Center is closed for now. You can come later."
"I'm Number One. I was sent here by teacher Darius since I have a healing Pill for Miss Luna," Number One explained but the two men only raised their eyebrows at each other and remained in their spots.
"I don't care who you are and who sent you with whatever pill. We are not letting anyone inside since you will only disturb our boss' job. Get lost," the men ordered rudely and Number One quickly understood what was going on.
"Ah, I see. You must be the Alchemist's guards. I was worried for a second that you are someone important," Number One said with a smirk. "You know this is a Soul Academy, right? If I kill you, no one will say anything and if you try to fight back, you will be killed for attacking a student. It's not the best situation to be in, don't you think?"
The two rogue guards paled at his words and Number One didn't even wait for their response as he walked around them. If they tried to block them again, he would immediately blast them with a couple of wind blades but the guards were too scared to do anything.
"What's up with all the people trying to stop us?" Nami commented in annoyance but Number One only shrugged. Some people were just born without common sense and it was an everyday occurrence.
They quickly asked the Academy Official at the reception for Luna's room and this time they didn't have any problems. Number One didn't forget to drop a small hint before they left the lobby. "You should call the guards to remove those two guys at the front. They are harassing students and blocking the entrance."
The Medical Center was surprisingly spacious but it wasn't that hard to find Luna in the building. Not many students managed to injure themselves in the first week so she even received her own private room to rest in. She was lying alone in her medical bed while her whole right arm was bandaged.
"Hmm?" Luna raised her head as she saw the visitors and her face went through a cycle of various expressions. It was a mix of surprise, excitement, shame, and finally frustration.
Number One welcoming question didn't help with her regrets. "Why are you so stupid as to fight those bitches without me? You could have waited a day and I would clean them up."
"Fuck you," Luna replied with her usual mood to which Number One laughed. He was worried her ego was hurt but it seemed like nothing had changed.
"What happened?" Number One questioned casually as he pointed at Luna's arm. "I thought you were better than this. How come you lost?"
Number One knew he could recover her arm with ease so he wasn't too worried about her injuries.
"Damn, don't remind me," Luna cursed in response and rubbed her temples with a healthy arm. "That bitch cheated and I fell for her trick. She asked for light sparring at first so I held back but then she went for the kill right away. If I didn't react quickly enough, she would have probably taken my life."
"Yeah, I figured that much. I saw your skills and knew it was enough to beat them," Number One pointed out as he confirmed his guess. "What did the Headmaster say? Why wasn't she punished?"
"That's because she lied. She claimed I asked for a death match which wasn't the truth," Luna explained in frustration. "When Headmaster Blake came to question me, I didn't say anything and just asked him to help me with my arm. I will get my revenge on my own."
Luna scanned him and Nami before questioning, "Did they bother you on your way here? I'm sure they tried to bait you to challenge them the moment you came out of seclusion."
"They did and I scheduled a challenge for later. I left the girl out for you even though I wanted to fight all five of them. You are welcome," Number One informed. "Once you are out of here you can fight her again. She will have to agree or she will have to fight me instead. I'm sure she would rather fight you."
"Aren't they leaving tomorrow?" Luna asked with raised eyebrows. "I don't have legendary healing pills like you so I doubt I can make it in time. I planned to catch her again in the main Academy."
Number One only smiled. "Don't worry, I will get you out of here in the next hour. I'm just waiting for— Speaking of the devil…"
Number One paused mid-sentence as he heard footsteps coming toward them. The first to enter was Headmaster Blake who was followed by an old man in a beautiful red tunic. They were surprised at Number One's presence but they focused on Luna instead with smiles on their faces.
"We have succeeded! Your arm will be saved after you eat this pill!" the old man called out proudly and presented Luna with a white, powdery pill on a small tray. "That's the only pill so eat up before it loses its effects.
Luna picked up the pill but she hesitated as she looked at Number One first. "What did you say just now? Did you say you can help me?"
"Yup," Number One nodded as he pointed at the pill in Luna's hand. "You can start by throwing that garbage pill away. I wouldn't even feed this to a dog, not to mention a human. Only a trash Alchemist would give this poison to a Soul Artist."
