The Only Aura User In Magic World Chapter 257: Returning to the Infected Village

Chapter 257: Returning to the Infected Village

A few days after that, I received my medical license.

Finally!

But on one condition. I need to have a status as a student in the medical academy even though that there's no need for me to attend cla.s.ses. And the registration of the new students can only be taken once a year, and for this year, it's already over. Which mean I can only be a student from next year.

And as of now, my medical license is only temporary.

In my previous life, there's only a lifelong license. No temporary ones. Once someone received a medical license, they are considered as a doctor for the rest of their lives. But as for me, I need to extend my license next year if I still want to be a doctor. What a pain in the a.s.s.

I think there's some other things that the dean, the professor, and the king discussed without telling me. I don't know what it is that they are discussing, but I'm afraid of my future. Why does someone else have to be the one who decide my future? And they are not even my parents!

Whatever, I'll just think about it next year. It's a medical school anyway, so it's impossible for me to enter the compet.i.tion.

Albert said that whatever that Marie and Victoria is inventing, it will also make appearance during the compet.i.tion and makes the compet.i.tion bigger. It will surely be a huge thing.

It will be historical since the compet.i.tion will go on annually. And next year will be the first time ever. I hope this compet.i.tion will light the desire to get stronger for everyone.

And I think that even if I don't compete in the compet.i.tion, I will still be there anyway to check if anyone is from the cult or not. Sigh…

I'll just focus on the matter at hand first.

So, Albert has formally sent me the quest to cure the villagers and investigate about it. This time, I'll do it openly and ask the village chief and the hunters there.

And that's why I'm going there again, with two horse carriages, bringing some people from my clan and also the former infected people, and the previous quest giver and his wife.

The members I brought are Kayla, Jewel, Celestine, Angela, Ian, and Kron. Kayla is needed for her healing magic. Celestine and Angela will build a temporary hospital in the village with their earth magic. And Ian and Kron will be the muscle to move things around. Including Jewel whose strength increased in her rhino hybrid form. Also, Ian is necessary for the meal since all the patients have empty stomach since they have never eaten for months.

As for Ellen and Jessica, I brought them there since they are acquaintances, and they are needed to prove that they can pa.s.s the barrier along with the villagers I brought. If it's only the village woman and her child, the hunters in that village will think that it's some kind of conspiracy that the hunters are unable to leave.

Once we reached the checkpoint, I told the guards that there will be no need to put the checkpoints anymore according to the king's order, and have the guards relay to the other guards in different checkpoints that they are dismissed.

I heard from Albert that after the n.o.bles were captured, there are also several guards who were fired and imprisoned. So, it's necessary for these guards to return back to Ca.s.sau since they lack guards for the security of the city. At the moment, Albert is sending some of the agents from the capital to help. Though they will have to return there soon.

The next day, we finally reached the outer part of the barrier.

We stopped to let the cured patients get their hearts prepared. It's the moment that they will truly feel relieved that they are no longer a monster. Though Ellen has already tried it alone. I don't know if she had told Jessica or not about it.

I pa.s.sed through the barrier easily. I didn't bring Victoria with me. She's back in Ca.s.sau. Though once I pa.s.sed the barrier, I will summon her. She is the most essential member for curing everyone.

After pa.s.sing the barrier, I summoned Victoria and about to say h.e.l.lo to everyone in the village. It should have been started with 'h.e.l.lo, I came in peace!' But it seems to be impossible.

Someone, in the house full of dead people, is trying to commit suicide. That's why I have no choice but to change how I say my greeting.

"Everyone, stop taking your own lives! I have arrived with the cure! And you all will be able to leave this village!" I said so loudly to make sure that even that one who tried to commit suicide will hear it.

If I want to make it louder, I can just tell Jewel to do it. But it's so sudden and I have to stop that person from committing suicide. That's why I'm the one shouting. Even though I'm still a little bit away from the village.

Hearing my shout, everyone quickly gets out of the village, and see their ray of hope! Me!

Of course no one would believe me right away, but I'm here with the village chief's son who submitted the original request to the guild, and his sister and nephew who should have been here a few days ago. I also brought Ellen and Jessica who they claim to be quite popular since they used to be in a party with an S-rank hunter. This way, it will be easier for the hunters to believe me. It's also why Kron, an S-rank hunter, is coming as well.

Then, once everyone is watching me, the village girl who I cured spoke to them first.

"It's true! He can save us! He saved me and now I and my son can enter and leave this village. He will be able to save everyone as well."

"That's right! Some of you should have noticed that the four of us have been missing the past few days. It's because he enters this village a few days ago, and brought us out to be examined. And now, he is the only one who has the cure." Ellen also said to convince the hunters.

Nice! Everyone is looking at me like I'm their savior. At least all of them looks like they believed it.

"Guys! He's the messiah!" It was the quest giver who suddenly said it.

""He's the messiah!"" Everyone said.

"Wait, no! I'm not the messiah! I'm just a doctor!" I denied it.

It does feel nice to be wors.h.i.+pped, but too much just makes it creepy.

"Enough! I'm just a doctor!" I keep denying them calling me messiah.

"…this scene looks familiar." Victoria whispers lowly.

At this moment, I don't really care about what she meant anymore.

Since it was too loud, I made a barrier with air magic to make the surrounding voices turn silent. Then I asked Angela and the others to prepare a make-s.h.i.+ft hospital where I will treat the patients. I will only heal about twenty people in one day. As for those who will be healed first, I don't care as long as everyone is healed.

Then I told everyone about their condition. How they no longer need to eat, drink, and sleep anymore. And how once they are cured, they will be hungry. That's why I only let ten people to be healed first.

If I healed everyone in one go, we won't have enough supply of food for everyone. But if it's twenty, those who are healed can go fetch water and hunt for food outside since the barrier won't stop them anymore.

But if I healed the hunters first, they will leave right away and won't return. That's why I only will heal hunters from the second day.

I brought some supplies with us but I don't know if it will be enough. They have no supplies of food for month, so they need to stock up some more again from the start.

Then, while the others are building the temporary hospital, I went to the village chief to ask him some questions.

"Chief, do you know about the homeless man who was in the village a few month ago before this tragedy happened?" I asked.

"The homeless man? What about him?"

"We a.s.sume that he's the one who attacked the villagers and bring them somewhere, then turned you all into… this. Once you are turned to this, you are returned back to the village. That's what I hear from your daughter."

"Really? It's a mistake to lend him the stable to rest. He shouldn't be let in the village!"

"But it's already done. Do you know where he is?"

"Sorry. I don't think there's anyone here who knows about his whereabouts. No one care about one homeless man when everyone is panicking about not being able to leave the village." The village chief replied.

"I see… do you know anything about Dragon Dung Flower?" I asked about the flower this time.

"…that's a stupid name for a flower."

"I agree. But that flower is the reason why you are unable to leave the village. It's a flower that any monsters will instinctively feel danger when they're nearby. I think that whoever that homeless man is, he turned everyone into a monster, and planted those flowers around the village. While I'm curing the infected people, my clan will find all the flowers. This is no longer a quest from you. It's a quest directly from the royalty. I hope for your cooperation with us in the next few days."
