"Ah!!! Someone's dead, someone's dead!!!"

Upon hearing the exclamation, everyone disregarded Akihara's breathlessness, backache, leg cramps, and other ailments, and hurried towards the direction from which the sound came.

Akihara asked the system in his mind: "Did Shinichi Kudo come here too?"

System: He's still diligently studying in his classroom in Tokyo.

Akihara: No way, transmigrators don't come with an accident-prone constitution, do they? Your system goes to great lengths to cause emotional fluctuations and loss of humanity in the mission targets, giving transmigrators an accident-prone constitution buff?

System: ...Is it possible that the problem is with you? I've just received data from the mainframe: a riot broke out in Chernobog, a volcanic eruption occurred in Siesta, you were assassinated in Babel and Theresia, a coup d'état happened in Kjerag, your base was raided in Rhodes Island, and the Sarkaz seized power in Victoria...

Akihara: He's slandering me! He's slandering me!

……

Following the crowd forward, Akihara saw a man lying on the ground in a spread-eagle position, with blood gushing from the back of his head.

His gaze shifted upwards, and a dozen meters above was a cliff, where several people were peering down. It seemed that this unfortunate man had fallen from there.

Before he could observe further, a woman wearing the same matching windbreaker as the man lying on the ground stumbled and cried as she ran toward him, calling out, "Ah Jian!"

"Wait a minute!" Akihara and Professor Hirota spoke at the same time. The two exchanged a glance, and Akihara quickly stepped forward to stop the woman, while Professor Hirota approached the man lying on the ground and knelt down to examine him.

"What are you doing!" the woman glared angrily at Qiu Yuan.

Hey, stop setting yourself up for failure. If you keep doing this, you'll become the prime suspect.

Professor Hirota had finished examining the patient and turned to his students and the onlookers, saying seriously, "The person is not dead yet, call for emergency medical assistance."

Once he was sure the woman wouldn't impulsively rush forward again, Akihara quickly walked to the man's side and bent down. The man's lips were bluish-purple, his breathing was weak, and he was unconscious. Visually, he appeared to have primary brain injury and multiple rib fractures.

Akihara crouched down, opened the man's mouth, and after confirming there were no obstructions to his airway, leaned his ear close to the man's mouth and nose. The man's breathing was almost nonexistent. He placed his hand on the side of the man's throat and felt a weak pulse. Because the man likely had multiple rib fractures, CPR could not be performed. Akihara highly suspected a cervical fracture, so he could only perform artificial respiration using the chin-and-skull maneuver…

Amidst the astonished and admiring gazes of the crowd, Akihara Kazumitsu performed what could be described as a professional first aid procedure. Only when the paramedics brought the stretcher closer did Akihara straighten up and hand the injured person over to them.

As Akihara stood up, her vision went black due to the sudden drop in blood pressure, and she staggered, almost falling. Shirakura Yo and Miyano Akemi quickly went to help her up, but Akihara Kazuhiro, who had already regained his balance, waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

"Wako, did you study medicine before? Your basic skills are pretty good." Professor Hirota gave him an approving look and handed him his water bottle again.

Akihara Kazumitsu took the kettle, thanked him, and did not directly answer Professor Hirota's question. After all, he did not know what the original owner had studied before, or whether he had switched to life sciences.

“Actually, I’ve always wanted to be a doctor since I was a child, even if it was just as a village doctor or a school doctor. Although I didn’t end up getting into a graduate program in clinical medicine.” He smiled as he said this. “But I believe that both life sciences (note) and clinical medicine are about fighting against diseases and protecting human health, just on different fronts.”

"Good, good lad, well said." Professor Hirota was very pleased with the young man's bold words.

The club members praised him repeatedly, giving him a thumbs up, and the atmosphere suddenly became enthusiastic again.

"Waaaaah, Host, so that's what you really thought? You really... I'm so upset! I sincerely apologize for all my previous rudeness and slander..."

Akihara: Okay, okay, stop crying. Go check how much Miyano Akemi's impression value has increased.

System: ? ? ? Wait, could it be that you...?

Akihara: I knew I couldn't be prone to accidents. After all, I'm a doctor, not the Grim Reaper.

The system fell silent. Its underdeveloped emotion module, its CPU nearly overheating, couldn't determine whether its host's feelings were genuine or feigned. Humans truly are incomprehensible creatures!

"Even if you're a doctor, you're a quack!" The system finally uttered this resentfully. It then turned to check Miyano Akemi's emotional state. "You currently have... 870 points! That's a good score. Besides Miyano Akemi's emotional and impression changes, the scores of all the onlookers have also been taken into account. Although they aren't the main characters, so their weighting is smaller, it adds up."

"Akihara-kun, have you rested enough? If you have, let's climb to the top in one go!" A member of the mountaineering club asked with concern as he saw Akihara put down his water bottle.

Don't you think the use of the word "concern" here is strange? And where did you see me resting?!

"Alright, let's go!" The energetic college student members shouted, raising their arms in celebration!

……

Finally, the group dragged the half-dead Akihara Kazuhiro to the top of the mountain. In his heart, Akihara Kazuhiro silently crossed out the option of "joining the mountaineering club to get closer to Miyano Akemi." Miyano Akemi asked a passerby to take a group photo of them, which would later appear in Ai Haibara's memories of her sister.

"My sister only agreed to work for the organization so that I could leave it..."

"However, she can attend a regular school, make ordinary friends, and travel like everyone else..."

Then, as Ai Haibara reminisces, a yellowed photograph appears in the background, a group photo of Akemi Miyano, Masami Hirota, and a group of mountaineering club members.

To show off his sociability, Akihara Kazumitsu also went over to take a look. The group photo on the small screen was exactly the same as the one in his memory, except for the addition of himself, wearing a white T-shirt and looking lifeless.

The gears of fate have begun to turn.

System: Don't suddenly start imagining things like a God-like narration! Don't you feel embarrassed?

After enjoying lunch—tea and rice balls—prepared at the rest stop (Akihara: Is it really necessary to report this kind of lunch in advance?), the group rested for a while before starting their descent. Before leaving, Akemi Miyano told everyone that she would transfer the photos from this mountain climbing trip to Professor Hirota's computer, and Professor Hirota promised to keep them on a disk so that anyone could retrieve them whenever needed.

Professor Hirota's habit of storing all data on his computer was remarkably ahead of its time. Who knew it would later lead to his death?

No matter how you look at it, it's all Koyasu Takehito's fault.

……

For the rest of the week, Akihara Kazuhiro smoothly accepted the original owner's research work. After quickly finishing his daily tasks, he would use the lab's computers to collect data on that world. Occasionally, he would receive calls from Ando Kohei, a peripheral member of the black-clad organization, asking him out for drinks or his underlings to fight. He would lower his voice and mimic Ando Kohei's tone, declining with the excuse that he had a big mission coming up. He was grateful that the call quality in this era was not clear.

During this time, his points suddenly increased once, which the system said came from Shiho Miyano. As a main character, the impressions and emotions from her had a relatively large weight, probably because Akemi Miyano told his sister about what happened on the mountain on the phone.

He now has over 1000 points, enough to exchange for the ability of a three-star or lower operator once, and even enough to exchange for the ability of some four-star operators, such as Robyrata. For operators like Robyrata, whose abilities hardly increase combat ability even if obtained, the points required would be less.

On Friday, Akihara Kazuhiro received a thank-you letter from the unfortunate man who had fallen down the mountain. The letter essentially thanked the doctor for his miraculous healing. According to the letter, he had indeed slipped and fallen while admiring the scenery. Akihara then told the system that this added another piece of evidence proving he wasn't a Grim Reaper, because wherever the Grim Reaper Elementary School went, there were no accidents, only intentional killings.

……

Sunday finally arrived, the day he had promised to meet Gin. Akihara Kazumitsu, dressed in all black and wearing a black trench coat he had captured, boarded the bus from Shizuoka to Tokyo.

It takes three and a half hours by bus from where he is to Shinjuku in Tokyo. He decided to put the disguise technique on his agenda as soon as possible so that he could use Kohei Ando's driver's license when he travels.

System: You should take the bus! I'll feel guilty letting dangerous drivers run rampant on the road.

Seeing that Akihara Kazuhiro was leisurely sitting down in a coffee shop near the agreed location, the system frowned, realizing that something was wrong.

"Host, you don't mean to just leave Qin Bar like this, do you?"

"Huh? What if?"

Note: Don't believe it. Although life sciences and medicine both belong to the fields of biology and medicine, life sciences not only study animals but also plants and microorganisms. It is a discipline with a broad scope at the undergraduate level, but the knowledge learned is relatively basic, and it is impossible to become very specialized in any one area...
