Once the doctor finished checking on and saw that my condition has been stable, he turned his head to look at once again.
"Thankfully, you don't have any burnt marks in your skin or any serious injuries during the accident. So minor damage on your face has already been held by the nurse, so you don't need to worry anymore." said the kind doctor.
That was a relief to . If that happens, then I would lose my 'impersonating' job instantly. Lancelot and the whole country of Gilead would also be in distress if I wasn't saved on ti.
But I wonder who could this generous person be?
"You can be discharged here tomorrow morning."
That was the doctor's last statent before finally getting out of the infirmary room together with the nurse who cured just now. Feeling relieved for all the things I have heard from the doctor, I laid back comfortably on my bed and thought about the things that happened in school.
Except for this person who saved , there is also this other person who was behind my locking incident, yet I can't think of any person who would do that to .
I was instantly pulled out from my train of thoughts when I heard another creaking of the door that made turn to look in its direction. In it ca my childhood friend Dexter Woods, looking all worried for .
Wait could he be the person who saved from being burned?
"Dexter" I called out his na and was quite surprised to see his existence here.
If I recall, I could only seldom see him at school, especially during mornings when I enter the school gates. So imagine my surprise to see his figure present in this room.
"Are you feeling okay right now Kris?" he asked in a worried tone. "Is there any part of your body that still hurts?"
I wasn't able to respond to that imdiately when I still can't get over with his presence here, as idiotic as it may sound. I an, co on, your childhood crush is here in the sa room as you, looking so cute and worried for you at the sa ti!
"Y-yes I'm perfectly fine. Thanks for asking." I responded.
"I'm really glad to hear that." he imdiately said, looking genuinely relieved to hear that from . "I nearly panicked when I saw you lying unconsciously on the ground with everything around you burning up."
It was then that my eyes went round upon hearing what he just said. So he was really the one who saved !
"You" I said, looking surprised as ever. "You were the one who saved my life back there."
Hearing that from now made him lift his right hand up and scratched the back of his neck.
"Yeah. I overheard a conversation about you being trapped in the utility room, so I imdiately rushed to your aid,"
Wait Did he overhear a conversation?
"Conversation? What conversation?" My attention was imdiately sparked by his last statent.
He was sohow confused as to why I was so interested in this part but he still continued elaborating it for .
"Well earlier, when the east part of the second floor was burning, all students and faculties were imdiately evacuated outside the school. I was still in school and was one of the students who were asked to co out of the building imdiately. Then as I was about to head for the exit, I overheard a conversation of two girls from a distance saying sothing about you being trapped in the utility room.
"It was kind of odd for them to know where you are, but I took my chances. And then, I was surprised to indeed see you being trapped inside and unconscious. It was then that I hastily rescued you out of the fire that had thankfully been extinguished with the aid of magic. Minor damage has only been done to the school and can be fixed imdiately."
After hearing his thorough explanation, it got into thinking. Surely, he had not seen the faces of these two girls speaking with one another for he is in a hurry after hearing them, yet I am now wondering who these persons might be. At least I already have a lead in the anti.
"Thank you for explaining and for saving my life as well." I smiled genuinely at the lad, which he imdiately returned.
"I was really happy when I was able to save you just in ti."
We were smiling with one another when we both heard the door open once again, and in it ca my close friends Maggie and Ariella both rushing to be by my side. I bet they weren't ho yet since they still wear their uniforms and definitely went shopping in Central Town because of the shopping bags they are now carrying.
"Kris! We heard about the blasting accident and you being here in the hospital. So we hurriedly ca here to check your situation." Maggie said
"Thank goodness you're alright!" Ariella blurted out worriedly, temporarily dropping her shopping bags in a corner, and hugged . Maggie joined in as well.
"Thanks for the visit. And yes, I am perfectly fine and feeling better now. Thanks to my childhood friend here who saved just in ti." I said while acknowledging the presence of my childhood friend here standing awkwardly on the other side of the bed.
That's when both these girls turned their heads to look at the lad with keen observation.
"Oh! So you were that guy that Kris often talks about!" Ariella burst out that made my face flush.
Ariella! Please don't embarrass in front of him, for goodness' sake!
"Yeah! Nice eting you in person! I am Maggie, and this is Ariella." Maggie added. Not you too, Maggie!
Dexter gave each of them a friendly smile before introducing himself as well.
"Nice to et you as well. I'm Dexter Woods."

Later that night, three of my friends who visited at this hour already bid their goodbyes since they need to go ho right now. I also saw it on the wall clock adjacent to where I am currently lying that it is already past seven in the evening.
But before I totally set them off, I was able to tell them the locking incident I experienced back in school when I was about to get us so brooms. Ariella cursed the person and said she would do everything in her power to catch the culprit.
"As much as I'd like to stay here I have so much howork to do." Dexter sighed as he was saying that.
"That's alright. You have done more than enough for this day that I am so much thankful for." I gave the lad a reassuring smile to know that I will be fine.
"I will visit you here early in the morning to help you get discharged and to accompany you ho." he offered.
I turned slightly pale upon hearing that. Oh geez.
"No I'm fine. I could take care of myself." I hurriedly declined the offer.
"You can't say no since you are not entirely well." The lad smiled once again before heading to the door.
"See you tomorrow."
That was his last statent before he totally left the room along with my other friends Ariella and Maggie. And now I am all alone, thinking about how I would handle my situation tomorrow morning.
"Finally those brats left."
I was imdiately distracted when I heard that familiar voice complaining as he entered the room and locking it behind him that made my eyes slightly widened upon seeing him here.
What's he doing here? I thought he was busy doing his thing inside the castle or sohow investigating the prince's missing case?
"Alex" I called out his na in disbelief. "W-what are you doing here? You might be seen by soone coming here!"
"Nevermind them." he stated. "I ca here to see you, obviously. "
And even in my current situation, he could still be snarky towards , I see.
I noticed him activating the sound barrier first by chanting the spell 'Muffliato' before walking towards my side, dragged a nearby monoblock chair stationed in a corner, and sat beside .
"What I an earlier is that I ca here to check on you. Of course you haven't showed up, and you had Lancelot worried for you, for the second ti around." he quickly added after setting down on his chair.
Right! The afternoon training session! I almost forgot!
"Sorry. It was actually my fault why I ended up being here." I tried to explain, but isn't sure how. Alex seed confused with my statent as well.
"I've heard all of your conversation earlier" he cuts off before I can proceed. "It isn't your fault if you have been locked in that goddamn room, for goodness' sake."
And he looks pissed right now as well.
Looking at again, he composed himself once more before continuing.
"Now that I've seen you, I am sohow relieved that now you're okay."
From being pissed, Alex's expression softened the mont he turned to et my gaze. It was then that I felt my chest pounded inside of out of nowhere.
"You had worried for you as well"
