Poseidon in Arknights

Razer then walked over to the pile of wooden planks where Franka had been lying, lifted the planks, and hid the shield, their clothes and equipment, and the safe they had previously stolen inside.

After looking around, Razer walked to a pile of junk and pulled out a thick wooden stick that looked like a clothes rack or something similar, using it as a makeshift walking stick.

Razer concealed his pistol behind his waist and looked at Jessica, who had already carried Franka on her back: "Let's go."

-------------

“There are so many people…” Franka rested her head on Jessica’s shoulder and looked outside. “To be honest, I think the feeling is even more pronounced between Jessica and me.”

“A seriously injured Volper and a Felin?” Razer glanced at the two people beside him. “That would be obvious. What we’re doing now is just weird behavior.”

"..." Franka thought for a moment and then nodded, agreeing with Razer's idea, "That's true."

After a while, Jessica and her group managed to squeeze through the crowd and get inside. At that moment, Yuuki was distributing medicine to the civilians around her.

"Jessica, cough cough, what do we do next?" Franka whispered in Jessica's ear as she watched Yuuki distributing medicine. "Go straight to that doctor?"

"Um, no, I don't know." Jessica was slightly taken aback; she hadn't actually seen how the doctor treated the patient before.

"Go directly to that doctor."

The doctor, who was in the distance, suddenly turned around and looked at the three of them. After examining them for a while, he quickly handed out the medicine in his hand and then jogged over to them.

"Come in quickly." Just as the three of them were still staring blankly at Yuuki running over, Yuuki had already arrived next to Jessica.

"Eh?" Jessica stared blankly at Yuuki, who was running around looking worried. "Um, that..."

"What are you still standing there for?" Yu Yue glanced at Jessica, who was still in a daze, and directly picked Franka off Jessica's back.

"Come in quickly, you need surgery." After saying that, Yuuki carried Franka and ran towards the innermost white tent.

Just as Razer was about to follow with his wooden stick, a ball of water suddenly appeared, lifting Razer and the still-dazed Jessica up. The water ball carried the two of them, floating on the ground, closely following Yuuki's side.

"Um, hello, cough cough." Franka, held in Yuuki's arms, looked at Yuuki's worried face. "What's your name, Doctor?"

"Just call me Yuuki." Yuuki placed Franka on the hospital bed. "Miss, please don't speak yet. Your lungs are probably damaged. Excessive talking is not good for your health."

“There’s a cabinet in the back where you can put the pistol.” Yuuki glanced at Razer and Jessica, who were being dragged in by the water swarm. “Of course, you can take them if you want, just don’t point them at me.”

As soon as she entered the tent, Razer pulled out the pistol hidden on her lower back and silently looked at Yuzuki, who was facing away from her calmly: "...It's just a habit."

“I understand.” Xi Yue nodded with her back to them. “You’re mercenaries too, right? Those mercenaries must have come looking for you, since you were the ones who were most seriously injured.”

"What's wrong, Doctor?" Franka looked at Yuzuki, who was putting gloves on her. "In a way, you've gotten yourself into a lot of trouble."

“I am a doctor, and you are patients now, that’s enough.”

Chapter 89: The Second Student [Happy New Year]

Hearing this, Yuuzuki finally understood: "Oh, so those three were you."

"You really didn't realize it at first," Yuzuki said with a smile. "Your disguise was very effective."

“Mmm.” Jessica nodded. “However, the hair dye that Senior Franka said was easy to wash off took us a whole week to wash off after we got back.”

As Jessica spoke, her eyes gradually became aggrieved again: "Those few days, the people from Blacksteel International looked at us with strange eyes."

"Um... cough cough, at least it washed off." Franka turned her head away awkwardly. She hadn't expected that thing to be so stubborn; it hadn't come off even after washing for several days.

Razer glanced at it, and Franka, feeling awkward, chimed in, "In the first few days after we got back, the company's security guard kept looking at the three of us with our employee badges, and he almost threw us out."

Exusiai looked at Liskarm curiously and asked, "So how did you get in?"

"It was only because Jessica was almost crying that the security guard recognized us." Razer glanced at Jessica. "It's quite strange in every sense of the word."

"So that's how you recognized her?" Yuuki looked at Jessica, who was now blushing. "It's truly amazing in every sense of the word."

"I... I didn't want to either," Jessica mumbled softly, her face flushed. "Because being used as a mark for this kind of thing, I didn't want it either..."

"Alright, Jessica, this is in front of your idol, so how about you act more confident?" Franka reached out and poked Jessica's blushing face.

"Speaking of idols," Texas continued after taking a sip of her noodle soup, "what's the story? If I remember correctly, when Yuuki was in the wilderness, her most famous title was probably 'Trusted Doctor,' right?"

“Because, because I also want to become a doctor like Miss Yuzuki.” Jessica lowered her head and nervously rubbed her hands together. “Although my initial reason for becoming a mercenary was just to prove myself, now I want to change other people’s lives, I want to save others.”

"Change other people's lives?" Yuzuki smiled at Jessica in front of her and reached out to pat Jessica's head. "That's a very nice wish."

"Really?" Jessica looked up at Yuzuki, whose face was gentle.

“That’s right.” Yuuki patted Jessica’s head. “But there’s one thing that needs to be corrected.”

"Eh?"

“Your goal hasn’t changed, it’s just become clearer.” Yuuki smiled and patted Jessica’s head. “You’ve found a way to prove yourself.”

Then, Yuuki's gaze fell on the medical kit hanging from Jessica's waist: "Are you studying medicine?"

“Mmm.” Jessica nodded. “I paid a medic at Blacksteel International to teach me medical techniques and spells, but I’m learning very slowly…”

As she spoke, Jessica lowered her head again: "I asked the teacher, but he wouldn't say why. He just told me to learn slowly..."

“That’s normal.” Yu Yue looked at Jessica helplessly. “Learning medical technology and medical magic won’t be that fast. It’s normal to learn slowly.”

"...Is this so?"

Yuuzuki nodded, then remained silent for a moment before asking, "Are you sure you want to become a doctor like me?"

“Yes, Dr. Yuzuki.” Jessica looked up. “I want to save other people’s lives like Dr. Yuzuki.”

"Is that so?" Yu Yue looked at the innocence in Jessica's eyes, chuckled, and nodded, patting Jessica's head. "In that case, come in with me, I'll get you something."

Then, Yuu turned and walked into the room with a smile on her face. She didn't dislike the innocence that Jessica had just shown in her eyes.

On this land, Yuuki felt that the fewer people like this, the better, and the more people like this, the better. Now, Yuuki turned to Jessica, who had followed in with a curious expression: "Would you like to become my student?"

"Sigh." Jessica paused for a moment after hearing Yuuki's question, then, seeing Yuuki's smiling face, finally realized what she meant. "Eh!!!"

"Hmm..." Exusiai turned to look into the room after hearing Jessica's exclamation. The room wasn't very soundproof, so she could clearly hear what Yuuki had said earlier.

After pondering for a moment, Exusiai nudged Texas with her elbow: "Hey Texas, do you think you can learn Yuuki's 'medical technology'?"

Exusiai deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the healing spell. Ever since Exusiai learned of Yuuki's identity, and considering that Yuuki used water as a medium when she changed races last night, she had been doing so.

Therefore, Exusiai could easily guess that the spell Yuuki used for healing was definitely not some kind of Originium Arts. So Exusiai was very curious: could this kind of thing really be learned?

"The 'medical technology' of the Evening Moon Society isn't just limited to her water-related magic..." Texas glanced into the room, "...medicine concoction, surgical treatment, dietary therapy..."

"Yuzuki knows so much, there must be something she can teach. And since Yuzuki has said so, there must be something she can teach."

Compared to Exusiai and Texas, Franka and Razer were quite surprised. Ever since Jessica fell in love with Yuuki and idolized her, Franka and Razer had heard a lot from Jessica about what Yuuki had done.

The fact that Yuuki earned the title of "Trusted Healer" in the wilderness, and that this title spread far and wide, even leading to the formation of an organization based on it, suggests that Yuuki's medical skills are undoubtedly trustworthy.

If Jessica can really learn some skills and techniques from Yuuki, then their safety will undoubtedly be greatly guaranteed when they go on missions with Jessica in the future.

However, learning and using medical technology will take a lot of time. Hopefully, their employment period with Rhodes Island will be long enough for Jessica to learn more.

In the room

Jessica looked at Yuuki somewhat flustered: "Um, um, becoming Dr. Yuuki's student, is it really... really okay?"

“Of course.” Yuuki nodded. “How about it? Is it okay?”

"Of course, of course." Jessica nodded quickly, then rummaged through her clothes. "That school... the tuition... how much is it?"

"Um, can I use a bank card?"

Yuuki chuckled twice as she watched Jessica hurriedly pull her bank card out of her pocket, then took a box out of her own pocket.

"Well, this is it?"

Seeing Jessica's puzzled expression, Yuuzuki chuckled and opened the box, where a bank card lay quietly.

"Dr. Yuzuki, what is this?"

Seeing Jessica's still puzzled expression, Yuuki couldn't help but pat her head. Then, Yuuki leaned down and whispered in Jessica's ear, "Haven't you already paid your tuition, Miss?"

"Eh!" Jessica's eyes widened, and she quickly took a few steps back, looking at Yuuki's smiling face. "Um, um, I..."

"Alright, why are you so nervous?" Yuzuki looked at Jessica helplessly. "Being nervous won't help your medical treatment."

"I...I understand." Jessica took two deep breaths to calm her nervousness. "Um...I'm sorry."

"It's okay, I really like your personality." Yu Yue patted Jessica's head. "Here, take this."

"Huh, what's this?" Jessica looked curiously at the black bracelet that Yuuki handed her, taking it in her hand and examining it. "Is it a keepsake?"

"I guess so," Yuuki nodded. "She'll be an important teaching tool for you in the future too."

"Huh?" Jessica looked down at the bracelet in her hand. "Teaching tool? Is it a staff specially engraved with corresponding Originium circuits, used for some kind of Originium Arts?"

Before Jessica officially became a mercenary, she worked as a weapons tester in the Equipment and Application Technology Department of Blacksteel International.

There she came into contact with a huge amount of new weapons and met many veterans who had retired from armed manpower deployment departments.

Those veterans were experienced and often provided constructive advice during the weapons development process. Jessica learned a lot from them through constant exposure.

Therefore, Jessica knew that some special Originium Arts could only be released smoothly using a staff engraved with the corresponding Originium circuit.

So when Jessica heard Yuuki say that the bracelet was a teaching tool they would be using next, she naturally made that connection.

"You can think of it this way," Yuuki said mysteriously, winking like Jessica, "When it's shimmering with light, run your hand over the surface, then close your eyes, and then... well..."

Jessica's curiosity was piqued by Yuuki's drawn-out tone, and she quickly asked, "Miss Yuuki, what happens next?"

"About this~" Yuzuki smiled, "You'll know what happens when it does~"

“Hmm…” Jessica paused, looking at the mysterious smile on Xiyue’s face, and then put the bracelet on her wrist.

“You are my second student.” Yuzuki smiled as she looked at Jessica, who had raised her hand and was curiously looking at the bracelet on her wrist. “I am very curious about and looking forward to your future.”

"Hmm~" Jessica lowered her head shyly after being told that by Yuuki, then noticed what Yuuki had said, "The second student? Does Dr. Yuuki mean Miss Kurenai?"

"Haha, if I had to say, I think she'd rather be my daughter than a student." Xi Yue looked at the hall with a hint of helplessness, yet also a gentle expression. "After all, I've taught her everything I need to, but she still stubbornly calls me Mom."

Jessica tilted her head as she looked at Yuuzuki: "If it's not Miss Hong, then it could be?"

"You'll find out tonight." Yuuki patted Jessica's head and then reached inside her clothes.

Then, to Jessica's astonishment, Yuuki pulled out a huge pile of books from her clothes, almost as tall as herself.

Jessica stared in disbelief, gesturing to the height of the huge bundle of books in front of her: "Then, Dr. Yuzuki, what is this?"

"Still call me Dr. Yuyue?" Yuyue patted the set of books he had taken out. "As for this, it's the theoretical textbook you'll be using later."

"Theoretical textbooks?" Jessica looked at the pile of books in front of her with a stiff expression. "Do we have to read all of these?"

"You basically have to read all of them, and not only read them, you have to memorize them all~" Yuzuki said with a cheerful smile, looking at Jessica who was completely frozen in place. "Don't worry, I'll teach you slowly~"
