Chapter 255: Surgery Done
Before I begun performing the surgery, while Jessica is stripping on the other side of the wall, Albert approached me.
"Roy, do you really need to cut open her body?" Albert asked.
"Not really. But I"m trying to keep my see-through ability as a secret. I can inject Victoria or Blobbies into Jessica"s body, and absorb the black coating with them. I can see the result with my eyes directly, but no one would be able to do it. It will be suspicious if I told the others that the surgery is done when others are unable to see anything. And this is something that only I can do. No other medical pract.i.tioner can do it. As for Victoria, it seems that there are already too many people knows about her able to speak. I won"t keep it as a secret anymore. But my abilities are best to keep secrets." I said to Albert in a voice that only us can hear.
"I see. What took her so long there?" Albert asked why Jessica is still not finished yet.
"She"s already stripping, but she is preparing her heart. While we"re at it, why don"t you go and get the dean of the medical academy? If I show him about this, I will be accepted right away, and can graduate as soon as possible. Possibly, I would get my license right away. That would be perfect." I said.
This is something that only I can do since I have a Black Slime. And since there"s a whole village filled with people with this condition, they have no choice but to let me do it. That mean, they will have to give me a medical license so those villagers can trust me. This way, I don"t need to attend college.
"…I know your true intentions. You don"t want to attend cla.s.ses, right? Fine. I"ll get the guild master to call him. I"m fine with you not attending the cla.s.ses, but I need your status as a student so you will enter the compet.i.tion we prepared. I"ll have you join no matter what!"
Then Albert went to the guild master to go get the dean of Ca.s.sau Medical University. And the guild master ordered the receptionist to go.
How will I enter the compet.i.tion without magic? That"s impossible. Even if I end up staying as a student, it"s impossible for me to stand out and be picked as a representative of a medical school.
The most he can do is appoint me as a medical official of the compet.i.tion. That"s it.
No matter how I think about it, it"s impossible for me to join the compet.i.tion.
Jessica took a long time to prepare herself, and the receptionist girl has returned with two old men. One is the dean, and another one is a professor in surgery. I"ll let Albert do the talking. He can convince anyone that I"m capable. By using his status and power if it"s necessary.
"I"m ready!" Jessica shouted from the other room.
"Alright. Begin the operation."
I entered the operating room with Albert, the dean, the professor, the guild master, and Kayla as my a.s.sistant.
As for the others, they are waiting in the waiting room. Celestine made an opening on the wall so they can see the operation.
Of course the villager man is not allowed to see by his sister, and was told to keep his nephew company.
"First, I will tell you about anesthetics. I am an air mage who managed to reach intermediate level. I can cast sleeping gas to make you sleep, but as you experienced it, it won"t work on you. I can also cast a pain-relieving gas which makes one don"t feel pain, but it will only last for about one hour and I"m unable to cast it continuously yet. Once I cut your body open, you will still feel pain slightly even with it. Please endure it."
Jessica nodded.
"That"s what air element can do? It"s amazing. Air element is truly the perfect for medication!" the professor said.
"No wonder he"s recommended by his majesty. Let"s see how he will perform this surgery. Then we can decide to give him a license later." The dean said.
Nice! That was just by air element. What about my summon?
"As for the surgery tool, I will use my summon, a Black Slime. It can shapeshift into anything, and can absorb dirt and stain as well. Making it the cleanest tool for surgery." I said as I transform a Blobby into a scalpel.
Now, I just need to perform the surgery in front of these people. I"m confident in succeeding.
A great anesthetic, and clean tool. That makes the chance for successful surgery to increase by a lot.
What if I said that my eyes can see through things and close up on any object? I will be the greatest doctor in the world! This world at least, not Victoria"s. Her world is scary.
But I also want to be a clown again. Even Thomas is starting to build another circus troupe. I will get busy as a doctor clown or clown doctor. I will be busy but at least it"s something I will enjoy.
Whatever, I"ll just do the operation here now.
"Jessica, do you want something to bite so you can endure the pain?" I said to Jessica before I opened her body.
"…please do."
"Victoria."
I told Victoria to transform into something Jessica can bite. And Victoria get her clones to do it instead. They are breakable unlike Victoria, but I"ll let it be. It"s not like she has the jaw strength of a lion or something.
I open up Jessica"s chest with a scalpel. She"s screaming but m.u.f.fled by the Blobby she bites.
I started from her heart first. I absorbed the black coating with Blobby little by little, and get Kayla to heal Jessica.
"Kayla, heal."
"Right now? Are you sure?"
"Yes. Try to target only on Jessica"s inner organ. Not her whole body. You can do it, right?"
Kayla already mastered magic control really well. she can target her healing magic only on a certain wound instead of the target"s whole body. Making her only spent as little mana as possible, and making the healing progress as well as if targeting the whole body. So, I"m not afraid of her accidentally closing Jessica"s chest while I still perform the surgery.
Everyone was shocked by how well Kayla can aim her healing magic precisely.
Kayla has learned human anatomy even though she doesn"t want to be a doctor.
I ignore their reaction, and continue cleaning Jessica"s inner organ. Once I absorbed some black coating, I had Kayla heal Jessica"s inner organ. It was to make the blood cleaned of the black coating as well. And it worked!
I can also directly have Blobbies absorb all the black coating at once but having multiple Blobbies covering the infected. Even their blood. But It will be too surprising if I do that right away. Let"s try it on the second one later.
This is too easy, but since I"m holding back my true ability, it took some time until I finished healing Jessica. Once the black coating no longer covering her lungs, I used anesthetic gas on her and she quickly fallen asleep.
"Good. She won"t feel any pain now. And it proves that she can sleep again from now on. Let"s continue with the rest of her organs." I said.
While I"m operating, I also explain what I"m doing to the dean and the professor. They are also looking at the corpse I did my autopsy with, and examining it. They didn"t bring their own surgery tools, so I lend some Blobbies to them.
Huhu… I"m one step closer into getting my medical license.
Once I finished absorbing all the black coating in Jessica"s body, even her brain, I st.i.tched her chest part with Blobby as the st.i.tches, and after that, Kayla healed her whole body. I made the st.i.tching disappear after that, and there"s no scar in sight. Which surprise everyone watching again.
"Air element mage, and a summoner who summoned a Black Slime… he"s too good to not be a doctor. And with his skill, it will be a shame to not get him a license already and have him help a lot of people. I"ll make sure to get him a license." The dean said.
"But there are many things that I think he can help us create. Maybe we should put him as my a.s.sistant in surgery experiments first. We can discover many new possibilities of healing method with him." The professor said.
Now I can show them about the surgeries from the future that I know. I don"t care if any of them decide to name the surgery after them since I just want people to be healed.
Soon, because of Kayla"s healing, Jessica is already awake and up.
"How do you feel?" Albert asked.
"Umm… normal? What about the surgery?"
"It"s a success. At least from my perspective. You need to go back to that village first to see if the barrier works or not. If it no longer working, that mean you have returned into a human again. Now, I have succeeded the operation. And I found a better method in doing it with less pain. Do you want me to continue with the others?" I asked the professor and the dean.
"We"ll examine Ms. Jessica first. Ms. Jessica, if you don"t mind?" The professor then performed medical checkup on Jessica, and found nothing abnormal. He then examined Ellen before her surgery, and found nothing abnormal again.
"Hmm… other than the inner organs, there"s nothing strange with your health. No need for food, water, and sleep, that should be a blessing. But the fact that they are considered monsters is the only flaw in their condition." The professor said after examining Ellen.
"That"s right. I"ll ask the next patient if they want to be cured or not. Their condition is too good to be healed. If they were not trapped in that village, I think some of them would be happy. Now, Ellen, will you want to be cured or not?"
I asked the rest of the infected one by one if they want to be cured. And their answer is that they all want to be cured.
If it was me, I will hesitate with my answer. Not needing food doesn"t mean you can no longer eat, right? It just meant that food is no longer necessary, but you can still eat them if you want. It will be useful to not need food depend on the situation.
…maybe I should try to infect myself with Blobbies so I won"t feel hungry. But I still love food, so I hope I can still eat then. But it"s scary to have something in my body. I guess I"ll consider the situation before infecting myself with Blobbies in the future.
