Chapter 351: Quick Fight
I finished the surgery so quickly that Sophie had a hard time keeping up with my speed.
"As a surgeon, you need to have a good physical ability. Your speed, and precisions are important so the patient can be healed quickly. Your stamina is important for difficult surgery that might need hours to operate. Even in my past life, although I"m not a well-known surgeon, I still had to operate a patient for twenty hours straight," I said to Sophie who is catching her breath with just fifteen minutes operation. Though it"s more like because of the pressure.
"I understand," Sophie said.
"Good. I don"t need you to be as strong as I am. Don"t overexert yourself," I said with concern.
"I know. Though a twenty hours operation? What kind of illness it is?" Sophie asked.
"Brain tumor," I replied.
"So, you cut open someone"s skull and touched the brain directly?" Sophie asked.
"And that was still a normal operation. There is a more difficult patient that needed to be operated for seventy hours straight. It says that they needed several surgeons to operate one man," I said.
"Then what kind of patient is the most difficult? At least for you." Sophie asked.
"Pregnant woman," I replied without hesitation.
"What illness?"
"That"s the thing. Pregnancy is not an illness. Even back then when I helped Marie, I"m not a hundred percent confident. Sometimes, the baby died for no reason after they are born. Sometimes, they died in the womb. Sometimes, the mother died even when they are healthy after giving birth. Every pregnancy is different. For me, they are the most difficult patient," I said.
"Hmm… and you want to have children in the future?" Sophie asked.
"Obviously! Delivering babies are the most rewarding when it succeeded. Whether it"s through normal way, or through operation. After my first time delivering a baby, that was when I first realized that children are precious. Though that will still be in the future," I said.
I finished suturing Shirley"s leg, and asked the healer to heal Shirley.
In the room, there are four of us if I don"t include Victoria. Everyone here knows that this is my second life, so I don"t mind telling them about it.
And during the operation, I used a gas to make Shirley not feel any pain while she"s still conscious. So, she heard everything we talked.
"Alright, it"s done. Victoria, support her leg. The people need to know that she"s okay," I said.
"Is the match still not over?" Shirley raised her body and asked.
"It hasn"t even started yet. The earth mage purposely let the reparation goes slow. It also to let the one who defeated you take some rest for the last bout. And everyone is still worried about you. Now go and show them that you"re okay. I"ll be watching from the audience seat," I said.
After that, all of us went to separate direction after leaving the infirmary. Shirley and the healer go to where her other teammates are, with Victoria as Shirley"s support for her leg. As for Sophie, she returns to where Lina and the others are watching.
I also return back to my seat next to Wendy.
"How is she?" Wendy asked.
"She"s fine. She will be healed for her next match," I said.
"I can"t believe that the first one to be injured badly would be her. What about Zack?"
"Who?"
"The guy she defeated."
"Their healer is enough to heal him. He doesn"t need any surgery," I said.
I looked at the stage and see that the reparation is completed. And the two commentators keep talking the whole time the reparation is undergoing. They are too good at talking.
"Oh! It seems like the last fight for the day will begin shortly. Who do you think will win, Steven?" Dwight asked.
"As someone who was born and raised in Melk, I want Angela to win obviously. Though I don"t know how strong her opponent, Max, is. He only used Fireball to defeat her highness. Oh, look! Look at the bench for the capital team! Princess Shirley is healed and she will cheer for her team from the bench!" Steven said.
Hearing that, everyone"s eyes looked at the capitals" bench. Even the camera operator also did the same to let those at the square see Shirley.
Shirley noticed that everyone is watching, so she smiled and waved her hand. Albert smiled slightly after seeing her seems healthy, and took a glance at me. That"s his way of saying thank you, I guess.
"So far in the tournament, Princess Shirley is the first one to get seriously injured. But it seems like she is fully healed now. That mean she will be able play for her next fight in a few days," Steven said.
"I"m so glad that her condition is stable. Anyway, the main actor here is not the princess. It"s the two who are already standing on the stage! Everyone, please welcome Max and Angela!" Dwight announced.
"Wait, the match hasn"t started yet, so what is Max doing?" Steven asked.
"That"s… he"s summoning a monster! What a surprise, he"s a summoner! And his summon is… oh my G.o.d! It"s an Orc Wizard!" Dwight said.
Just like he said, Max summoned the Orc Wizard before the fight started. That"s fine as long as it"s not an attack magic toward the opponent.
"An Orc Wizard? That mean not just Angela has to face two enemies, but she has to face two mages! Can she handle fighting two at once? Even more, it was known that summoned monsters are much stronger than similar monsters in the wild. The odd seems not good for Angela…" Steven said.
"Yeah, but do you remember about the Orc Emperor case in the past? Where Kron and several other hunters defeated an entire Orc settlement led by the Orc Emperor? I remember that Angela and Kayla were there as well. In fact, it was her party who first found the settlement. She should at least have the strength to fight multiple Orcs at once. But since her enemies have human as well, it might still be difficult to win for her," Dwight said.
Why do I keep being forgotten? It was me! That clown in the guild was me! Not even my name, they didn"t even remember that a clown was there! I"m so sad and disappointed.
After a.n.a.lyzing the two fighters, Kron finally started the match. Max quickly split up with the orc and the two attacked Angela at the same time. Max with his fire magic, and the Orc Wizard with its earth magic.
Everyone is shocked, not by how Max attacked. But by how Angela used two attributes at the same time to defend herself. An earth magic more powerful than the Orc Wizard, and an Ice Shield to protect herself from the fire.
"What an amazing performance by Angela! She blocked two attack at the same time! And… what?"
Steven was confused while still commentating. And not just him, the audiences as well. it was because of Angela"s magic.
Everyone is quiet now. Even the two commentators who can talk non-stop stopped talking.
What Angela did was simple.
After blocking the attacks, Angela flew to the sky, and used multiple magic at the same time to defeat the two. A Wind Slash to attack the Orc Wizard, and Fire b.a.l.l.s and Ice Spikes toward Max.
Max couldn"t defend himself, so the Orc has no choice but to go there and protect him. That"s the weakness of splitting up. They should have stayed together. Though the chance for them to win would still be small.
Angela"s Wind Slash missed, but the Fireball hit the Orc Wizard"s Earth Wall. As for the Ice Spikes, Max melted it with his fire before they reached him.
But now, the two enemies are at the same spot. Angela quickly landed on the stage, and raised a Dome shaped wall to block the two from escaping, and an opening in one side so Angela"s attack will reach.
The two weren"t prepared, but the Orc Wizard instinctively raised another Earth Wall in front of the opening. Unfortunately, Angela added more power in her fire magic. She added wind to make the fire bigger. It"s not as big as when I added flammable gas since the wind not only carried the flammable gas, but it was still too powerful for the Earth Wall by the Orc Wizard to endure.
The wall got destroyed easily, and the two inside the dome got barbequed. Though I think Angela is still holding back since I know she has no intention in killing them.
The fire didn"t damage the two directly, but the heat and the burnt oxygen made the two lose their consciousness. Angela won easily.
"…th- THE WINNER IS ANGELA!"
The first one to react is Kron. He knows how strong Angela is and has sparred with her several times, but this was also his first time seeing her fight like that. Is it the influence of going to college? I doubt it. She"s not that smart academically. But her intuition and instinct are top-notch. She learned about magic from her surrounding, and improve them by herself. That"s how much of a genius she is.
"S-SHE WON! ANGELA WON THE FIGHT IN AN INSTANT!" Dwight shouted.
Finally, it was as if time moved again. Everyone cheered seeing her victory.
"Strong! Too Strong! The enemy has a powerful summon and it was as if she was outnumbered, but that is no problem for Angela! That"s just how strong she is! She has become much more powerful than back then! I can"t believe what I just saw! She finished the fight in an instant! And…"
Steven and Dwight can"t stop their praises to the victor, Angela. And the person herself is smiling and waved at everyone in the audience.
I just looked at everyone"s reaction and see mainly three difference expression.
First is those who seem to be excited at how strong someone can be. Then, those who think that reaching that height is impossible for them but got excited at her strength. Lastly, those who seem bitter.
Now, my job here is to investigate those who seem bitter at seeing Angela"s strength. I"ll skip the partic.i.p.ants because they may just be bitter since they will face Angela in the future. As for the others, I hope I can remember their faces. I"ll check if they are from the cult or not.
