Now, thinking back to Lilith's last words, "Klein, get stronger quickly!" he finally understood the true meaning behind them.

What she feared wasn't Belinda, the Flame Envoy, but her parents! A titled powerhouse.

"That woman, her background is really big. Leader of the Dark Crusades, Source of Plague - Kukasairo."

Klein had a rough understanding of why Lilith used shadow遁, and why she was unwilling to mention the Dark Crusades.

He also had some vague guesses in his mind, and he buried these thoughts deep within his heart.

Everyone was gone, and thinking about these things now was meaningless.

… …

"Ugh! This is tough!"

Klein sighed. He hadn't sighed in a long time, and letting out this breath seemed to make him feel a little better.

He didn't blame himself for not being strong enough, nor did he give up on himself. Such thoughts were meaningless, and people who gave up on themselves were also stupid.

He had been in this world for less than six months, all told.

Although he had a good foundation, the time given to him was still too short, with almost non-stop cultivation, magic, research, and combat.

The graduation requirement of the Royal Academy was only a Tier 1 professional. It had only been a few months, and he already had the qualifications to graduate. If you had to say how fast his strength was improving, it should be considered pretty good.

Without realizing it, Klein had already surpassed many of his peers.

But he didn't comfort himself, saying things like, 'You're already very strong,' because he knew that self-comfort was useless.

After experiencing this mission, he understood a truth: surpassing most of his peers was meaningless.

What he really needed to do was surpass all of his peers, then surpass people older than him, surpass the previous generation, surpass everyone.

Within firing range, truth abounds. The person with the bigger fist has the logic.

And Klein wanted to turn his words into truth.

… …

Having a new small goal, and a very challenging one at that, made Klein feel a little more motivated.

Opening his personal attributes, the other attributes hadn't changed, but his magic power had reached 5.9.

It seemed that intense battles could indeed allow people to quickly and significantly improve their strength, but it wasn't enough. It was still too weak, far from enough.

Klein forced a smile and then gave himself a thumbs up.

Improving his strength was always something to be happy about, and he couldn't spoil his mood too much.

He wanted to get up and move around, but approaching footsteps interrupted him.

"How long have I been unconscious? Doctor."

This was what Klein wanted to know.

"Ha, call me Eric. I'm also an academy student, but I advanced faster and already got my assistant physician qualification.

You've been unconscious for ten days, well, more than nine days! Your injuries were quite serious, with multiple overdrafts of magic power, physical strength, spirit, and vitality. It was a bit troublesome."

Klein nodded. It seemed that this Senior Eric was a talkative person.

"Then let me ask, who brought me back?"

"The academy sent people to bring you back. Your mission, after 48 hours of not returning, the Shas side had already notified the academy.

So the academy sent people to investigate and only found the two of you. It was a truly tragic battle."

Listening to his words, Klein pondered silently. Two people?

"You said the academy sent people to bring back two of us. May I ask, which two?"

"Ah? Just you, and a girl from the Knight Department, um, I heard she's a Holy Knight."

Klein was silent for a while, putting Lilith's matter in his heart.

He felt a little lost, but the stone in his heart was finally put down.

"Thanks, Senior."

Eric checked Klein's body and then pointed to the cabinet next to him.

"Your physical quality is not bad, just a little too thin, but your bone strength is very strong, surprisingly strong, which is a bit strange.

Also, remember to supplement your nutrition after you're discharged from the hospital. Mages can't be this skinny. A body that's too weak will lead to overwork and death in the long run.

Oh, and most of your belongings were destroyed. There's a set of clothes, and some items you left behind, and a newly issued academy certificate.

Oh, right, and the treatment fee this time was paid by the academy. You used 11 healing potions, one advanced healing potion, some wound medicine, some detoxification potions, 2100 milliliters of blood…

Um, adding it all up, it's 2200 Thales. It's indeed a lot of money.

But the academy can accept your installment payments, divided into 1 year, a total of 12 installments, without interest, which is considered the academy's subsidy.

It seems like a lot, but it's actually not much. It's only a little over 100 a month. Work hard and you'll have it. Here, the bill is on the table."

Listening to Eric say so much, Klein was dumbfounded. He picked up the bill on the table, 2200 Thales…

Even with his super earning ability, it would take a lot of effort to pay off such a sum of money.

"One healing potion is 46 Thales? Are you kidding me? The blackest chamber of commerce in the imperial capital only sells it for 25. The academy's affiliated hospital is so black, isn't that inappropriate?

And wasn't I injured because of the mission? Why doesn't the academy reimburse me?"

Klein stopped Eric and questioned him.

"Reimbursement, big brother, you're thinking too much. The Royal Academy is not a charitable institution, let alone a kindergarten like the junior academy.

The Royal Academy is, apart from the regular army, the most cruel and highest mortality institution in this world.

This kind of mission annihilation event caused by intelligence errors is just a small drop in the ocean of Thaleriel's many events, and there is no splash at all.

The price of medicine is set by the academy. It's useless for you to yell at me. Haven't you noticed that there's no one in the academy's affiliated hospital? It's just because it's expensive.

The academy euphemistically calls it exercising students' independent survival ability, but it's actually just too lazy to care about us poor students.

You were brought into the academy's hospital because you were too seriously injured and no one dared to treat you.

Sigh! Let me secretly tell you, next time you're injured, or if you have injured friends, you can come to me for treatment. This is my contact information and address.

I'll give you an 80% discount on the market price, and also give you a 10% commission, how about it?"

Klein stared blankly at Eric in front of him. How did it turn into the other party promoting his business to him?

"Is that okay? You're an assistant physician at the academy!"

"How much does an assistant get paid? What can it do? A month's money is not enough to save a fallen girl. I'm serious, my medical skills are very high. You can contact me if you have clients."

Eric said as a matter of course, seemingly not caring about his identity as an academy assistant at all.

Klein got out of bed and put on the clothes next to him. Although they didn't fit well, it was better than nothing.

"Okay, I'll pay back the money as soon as possible."

Klein walked out of the hospital in a daze, and medical assistant Eric didn't forget to shout behind him.

"Hey, Klein, remember to bring me clients, 80% discount, and commission."

He shouted loudly, seemingly not taking the academy hospital staff to heart at all.
