Chapter 65 'Red Heart' Ruby (Thank you to the mighty Alliance Hierarch, Li Lie~)
The delicate white shell lifted slowly amidst the prompt tone, and the edges and details of the device exuded an aura of perfect quality. As the chamber door opened, the anesthetized Valke was slowly inserted, and then the door gradually lowered, expelling the excess gas.
After the door was sealed, this cutting-edge medical device began a comprehensive examination of Valke's body, including the composition of his bones, the distribution of his blood vessels, the molecular-level analysis of various structures, and the flow and status of magic power within his body, to display his condition.
Surrounding the medical chamber were four high-rank physicians in white coats, including renowned local experts from Jade Skirt and physicians especially called in from the Central Star Domain.
After reviewing the complete data and information, the four began analyzing and then discussed possible treatment plans.
"Overall, although the injury is severe, 99% of the tissues and structures can be restored. It's just the most crucial point, the problem of the nerve connections, where an extremely small part cannot be the same as before even after repair," Patrick said while pointing at the data on the screen and talking to his colleagues.
"It's like having a large water pipe that suddenly gets cut off and then add a thinner pipe in the middle. The overall flow will be affected by this thinner section, which will also bear more pressure. It's prone to damage during intense combat due to the burst of magic power."
"This is not something mainstream medical solutions can resolve," the physician from the Central Star Domain said, shaking his head after a detailed analysis.
"If we truly want to restore him to perfect condition, we would need to find another way."
"What do you mean?" the others inquired, curious.
"You might not be well-informed about these matters in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain, but I've heard of many similar cases in the Central Star Domain. For example, competition celebrities, military combat geniuses, high-level individuals, and so on, who have encountered similar problems with injury sequelae. To solve them perfectly, there are generally a few methods."
"First would be to seek out the giant corporations that specialize in treatment, such as 'Aquarius Star,' 'Helu Life,' 'Falling Bell Cradle,' 'Bright Moon Lake Palace.' They usually have their own unique technologies and talents capable of solving many difficult medical puzzles, and these medical enterprises have deep historical accumulation, predating the Federation's founding."
"Next, we have the masters from independent factions, such as 'Downy Moth' Tevinilan, 'Life Transposition' Gorsmi, 'Blood Worm' Aivas, 'Eternal Daylight' Ji Yan. These geniuses and eccentrics, and so on."
"Lastly, if all else fails, one must seek help from those extremely mysterious organizations. I'm not well-informed in this area, but what is publicly known is the organization inheriting 'Golden Flame Flower's' Isenisha's legacy, as they always have various means."
"Of the three you mentioned, we can disregard the last, as we can't find such mysterious organizations in a short time, and the Academy wouldn't rashly make contact," Patrick said, pushing up his glasses.
"As for masters from the various independent factions, their methods tend to be exceptionally unusual. It's like gambling—you might succeed if it suits you, but if not, you've simply spent a fortune to be their test subject."
"The most suitable would be to seek help from those giant corporations specializing in medical treatment. Here in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain, only 'Helu Life' has established a branch, but they have friendly and alliance relations with 'Saint Ingo Academy.' If we send Valke there, I'm afraid we might not be getting him back," Patrick said with a wry smile, shaking his head.
The other party wouldn't harm Valke, but Patrick knew that the terms would likely involve Valke transferring schools. He was aware that the competition between the two academies had been heating up over the past few years; they wouldn't readily help their rival, and the bigwigs on the board wouldn't want to lose face or deal with the folks at Saint Ingo Academy.
"Let's defer the subsequent issues for now; I need to report to the higher-ups. We can start the preliminary treatment in the next few days."
"Alright."
Although the physicians were of similar stature and ability, since Edith Academy was the host and the one footing the bill this time, Patrick had the decision-making authority.
Days passed one after another, and another weekend arrived. Students gathered within Edith Academy's scenic campus, with various luxury cars parked and small groups of students walking around.
"Hey, have you heard? Ruby just starred in an important film and her fame is growing even more."
"Are you talking about 'Red Heart' Ruby, the sophomore? She's quite a celebrity outside the Academy now."
"She's been a child star since she was young and is now beginning to star in pivotal roles in dramas."
Among the students of Edith Academy, aside from those with excellent family backgrounds, others were either geniuses or people with unique skills in certain domains. Here, 'unique skills' doesn't refer to hobbies of a playful nature, but rather to young individuals who truly have a certain level of influence in their respective fields.
A luxurious hover car had just stopped, and out stepped two bodyguards wearing tactical sunglasses, followed by a pair of feet in purple crystal high heels landing on the sleek ground with a slight sound.
As the view shifts upward, a 17-year-old girl with purple-and-red dyed hair steps out. She wore a shimmering silver dress and, after descending the car, removed her sunglasses, shook her hair, revealing her slender neck, also adorned with small hearts of silver dust on her cheeks, giving her face a slightly playful and cute look and making her highly recognizable.
"Look, we were just talking about her, that's Ruby. I didn't expect her to return to school today. Wasn't she said to be filming in the Lengbei Star Domain?"
