Chapter 46 Part 1: Liam Finds Out
Liam is in confusion, He wonder why Class Teacher is telling him to visit the Clinic. He want to ask but seeing the disappearing back of Mr. Wallace, he sighs in frustration. He is not in hurry to go back home. So he plans to check out the clinic. "I remember, there was an old woman in charge of the clinic. I hope she not left the clinic" Liam mumbled.
In a few breaths, he reaches the clinic area. He halts his footsteps and looks around for a while. There is not even a soul present in this area. For a moment, he feels this place is a little bit eerie. While shaking his head, he slowly approaches the waiting area.
This place was so quiet that even his footsteps sounded loud. Liam doesn't realize this but his footsteps was heard by Ms. Meryl Jade. After hearing the footsteps she decides to check out the person. She is the only one in charge of this clinic, she doesn't have any assistants to help her. It might irritate others, but for her she is glad that someone is approaching her for help.
As she walks up to the waiting area, she finds a student is looking for her. "Ms. Meryl, I'm looking for my friends. Mr. Wallace told me to visit the clinic." Liam said in a polite tone. Till now, the idea that his friends were getting treatment in this clinic didn't strike his mind.
That's why Ms. Meryl was surprised to hear his words. She understood Mr. Wallace didn't reveal the matter. To confirm that she asked, "Young lad, what's your friend's name?"
"Chrissy Heart, Bruce Hill and Mark Spear," Liam said.
Nodding her head, she gestures to him to follow her into the monitoring room.
"Hmmm" In confusion, Liam politely follows her.
Inside the monitoring room,
After stepping inside the room, Liam sees three medic chambers in operation. Finally at this time a serious thought struck his mind. He hurriedly walks up to the chamber.
"How could this be?" he uttered in complete disbelief.
For a moment his mind is processing the details. "I saw three of them at the school gate this morning. How come they are injured so severe" He said in his heart.
Having been clueless, Liam looks at Ms. Meryl Jade for an answer. "This old woman might know something." He thought to himself.
Feeling his gaze, Ms. Meryl knows. Obviously his thoughts were seen through by her.
"Sigh" she lets out a small sigh before answering. "Your friends got beaten up by Class A2 student, Vincent Carey." She said straightforwardly. But when it comes to Vincent Carey, He is just another student for her. So there is no thought of defending Vincent Carey in her mind.
Liam is in disbelief. Apart from his Class A1, rest of the A rank classes were filled with weak students. So it's hard for him to digest the fact that someone from Class A2 attacked his friends. While massaging his temple, he feels only from his friend's mouth can he find ins and outs on this matter.
He asked, "Ms. Meryl, How long will it take for them to heal?"
"Your friends will wake up after 8 hours of healing. Don't look at this green liquid as simple. These liquids were healing potions made up of several rare herbal materials." She said while pointing her fingers at the medic chamber, where green liquid can be seen clearly.
Liam understands that it will take time, so he decides to come back in the morning. After thanking Ms. Meryl for taking care of his friends he left the place. He knows not only his friends, Ms. Meryl has to stay awake all night.
After leaving the school premise, his demeanor changes completely. His former arrogant self-comes back. "Vincent Carey Uh?" Liam tries to recall the person named Vincent Carey. For the past few days they have been on a monster hunting trip. He is not aware of recent major happenings in school.
While scratching his head in confusion, suddenly an image of a person flashes before his mind. He is none other than Palmer. The Class leader of class A2 in name. Liam smiled, he remembers he used to beat up this person for no reason at all. Since the person named Vincent Carey is from Class A2, he decides to inquire with Palmer about him.
"Beep!" "Beep!"' "Beep!"
As the call connected, Palmer attended the call with a little bit of a shaky voice.
"Liam?" Palmer said.
"Hey buddy, how have you been?" Liam asked. Then he further added in curiosity "And what are you up to these days?
The tensed face of Palmer worsens even more after hearing his words. Images of past flashes before his eyes. He clearly knows, whenever Liam thrashed him he used to have called with him before that.
Palmer's face distorts remembering that humiliation. He hadn't expected to receive a sudden call from Liam. These past few days have been so calm, that he was already used to such an atmosphere. Now he understands that they were just calm before the storm.
While gritting his teeth, he answered, "I'm fine Liam. It's just that I'm pleasantly surprised by your call."
"Snorted" Liam snorted in his heart hearing that. Palmer's words may sound nice, but he actually knows how humble of an ant he is?
For a moment, Liam forgets the real reason for this call. While gently smacking his forehead he asked, "Okay Palmer, I actually called you to ask about someone. Is there any person named Vincent Carey in your class?"
Palmer becomes quiet for a moment hearing Vincent's name9. After getting thrashed by Vincent Carey, he understood that he had hit an iron plate. Since then he became low key and politely minding his own business. So right now he doesn't know whether it's good to answer him or not. Because both of them were iron plates.
Though he is second generation, he knows it is not good to mess up with talented mages. They have a bright future ahead.
While he is pondering, Liam is getting impatient. "Palmer" He called out in an angrier tone.
Palmer twitched, he knows right now there is no getting away from it.
