One soul, two twins, the other half is Bronya

A short, white-haired boy suddenly appeared and sat at the next table. He said with interest, "They defeated that swordsman killer so easily. This is really amazing~"

"Bronya recognizes you."

Bronya didn't seem surprised by this. "Miyabubu, the vice president of the Pojun Academy Student Council. And the accountant, Kanata-senpai Guidehara."

"Bronya used a table knife, and only added magic power to it. It shouldn't violate school rules."

"??? Wait, why are you calling me by my name? Am I not also a senior?"

Don't you know why? Yu Bubble, he looks small, and his personality... he doesn't have the authority of a senior at all.

Bronya said nothing, but just gave him a look, letting him understand for himself, "Okay, Ikki, it's about time for Bronya to go back."

"As for that guy just now, he should be from Tanlang Academy. If I remember correctly... his name should be Kurashiki Kōto?"

As he spoke, he packed up his belongings and said, "You can ask Ayatsuji-senpai about this. Once I've thought it through, Ikki will decide what to do."

……

"How was your day today?"

In the dormitory, Bai Ye was still slumped on the sofa. He had almost recovered physically, but he was exhausted mentally.

"Not bad. Bronya has seen that swordsman killer, and there's nothing you can learn from him in terms of swordsmanship."

Bronya walked aside and sat down to continue brushing the records on the handheld game console. "Bronya, I don't plan to follow up on what happened next. It's meaningless to me."

"Then I won't go~"

Shrugging his shoulders, Bai Ye moved closer to Bronya as usual, "There's no need to think about this kind of thing. Your mood is more important than anything else."

"I checked online today, and it seems that Ayatsuji Kaito has a heart disease, and his body functions have declined significantly."

"Bai Ye's memory has also declined significantly."

Bronya quickly pressed the keys, still complaining in a flat tone, "Mr. Kaito accepted the duel from that guy, and now he is unconscious."

"But we have the same majors~"

As he spoke, Bai Ye continued to move closer, but was very careful not to touch Bronya, so as not to affect her game. "Wouldn't it be better to wake him up?"

"..., Bronya understands. Then, tomorrow's training will be in your hands again, Byakuya. Bronya will handle Mr. Kaito's affairs."

After all, he was a disciple of Pharmacist Wu Zi. Although he was not well-known, his medical skills were top-notch.

On the other side, Ikki also received the notification of the selection competition, and his opponent was Ayase Ayatsuji.

After that, Ayatsuji Ayase never went to the Kurogane training class again, which was expected by everyone. But Byakuya and Bronya...

"Come to think of it, Bai Ye hasn't been here for a long time." As a good friend in swordsmanship, Ikki still cares about him very much.

"It's not just Bai Ye."

Stella, brandishing her greatsword, added, "And Bronya. We were training together before, but I don't know where she went after that day."

"So, Miss Stella, what happened that day that caused such a sudden change?"

"I do not know."

The golden sword swung vigorously. At least Stella was serious about her training. "She told Ikki to ask Ayatsuji-senpai, but she ran away, didn't she? She didn't even have time to understand the situation."

……

In the pure white ward, electronic medical equipment was working quietly, and a thin middle-aged man was lying on the hospital bed.

"Ayatsuji Kaito, known as the 'Last Samurai'."

A delicate, white hand stroked the railing of the bed. Bronya arrived silently, "The suffering of illness has led to this."

"Then let's get to work."

Maybe it's a habit, but when she works in the medical field, Bronya also likes to wear a white coat.

Lightning flashed, sterilizing a pair of bare hands, and then carefully conducting a comprehensive examination of the patient...

—Bronya wasn't wearing gloves. Direct contact provided more accurate data. She was using bioelectricity, which could penetrate the human skin and scan the interior.

emmm...

After a long while, Bronya had a rough idea in her mind. "It's mainly a skull injury, causing a slight concussion to the brain."

"But the rest of the body, with 27 minor injuries and 89 hidden injuries, cannot be ignored either."

"..."

A moment of silence followed. Bronya sighed softly, "This is truly... not taking care of your body at all. But if you hadn't done this, you wouldn't have achieved what you have today, would you?"

"Forget it, Bronya is only responsible for treatment."

Electricity flashed across the fingertips, cutting off tiny nerves one by one, alleviating the other person's pain.

The man's body visibly relaxed, and even his thin face gradually softened. "It seems that Bronya's level hasn't declined."

"After that…"

After a slight pause, Bronya unilaterally requested to establish a telepathic connection with Bai Ye. "What are you doing?"

"Fuck! What the hell? They're training (playing hard) here!"

"boom--!"

The ground shook. Even though she wasn't there, Bronya could feel the intensity of the situation. "Xiaobai, what's wrong? You're slow to react~"

"Ning Yin, I have something to do..."

Bai Ye transformed into lightning and instantly pulled himself free, attempting to distance himself from Ning Yin. However, the increased gravity of the arena...he failed.

"It seems Bai Ye hasn't dealt with it yet."

"???"

"Well, I'm sorry!"

Bronya's emotionless words made Bai Ye realize something. "Wait! I..."

However, it was obviously too late. An invisible stream of consciousness came along with the interaction, suppressing Bai Ye's thoughts.

[No, we have to do it! ]

The terrifying force of gravity crushed down! And then… Bronya was free. It was all her own fault, and she wouldn't die, so she felt no burden at all in the pit.

"that's it."

Nodding, Bronya continued the operation. The brain is the most delicate structure in the human body. She had to eliminate any possible interference when operating on it.

Bronya is not a water mage like Kiriko. Her lightning attribute focuses more on destructive power, so she needs to be more careful in her operation.

"..."

In the silence, only the sound of the equipment operating was heard. Bronya carefully stimulated the cerebral cortex with electricity, trying to wake the other person as gently as possible.

Perhaps a minute, perhaps an hour? Due to her intense concentration, Bronya had no idea how much time had passed. However...

"Huh~ finally done."

Bronya raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's much harder to interfere with others than with yourself."

"Mr. Ayatsuji is awake now. Let's consider transferring him to another hospital." Bronya left a business card and transformed into an element and left.

19. Pharmacist General Hospital

"So this is ah…"

What Bronya was talking about at that time was referring to this matter.

In the small park, Ikki sat tiredly on a chair while Stella and the others gathered around to analyze the situation.

Ikki was deceived greatly, and the damage caused also attracted the attention of Chairman Kurono, who learned about Ayase Ayase.

“It’s a cruel story, indeed.”

Arisuin acted calm. Although he was usually unremarkable, he was secretly a killer. "Everything she loved was taken away from her. She has been forced into a desperate situation."

"But precisely because of this, she's so powerful, like a beast fighting a desperate battle. During the match, she'll definitely come at me recklessly."

"So, what are you going to do, Ikki?" As a lover, Stella was more concerned about Ikki's thoughts.

Facing his lover's question, Ikki nodded slightly, firming his resolve, "Of course I will fight with all my might! Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to Ayatsuji-san."

"Really? But she even resorted to such despicable means..." As his younger sister, Shizuku stood up for him.

"Shizuku."

Ikki just said that, and Shushizuku calmed down, though she still felt a little dissatisfied in her heart.

"Stella, can you walk with me?"

Ikki stood up, a little unsteadily. Even so, a smile remained on his face. "Before the game begins, there's something I must do."

When the tryouts officially begin:

"The regulations state that setting traps in advance is against the rules, so you should be disqualified."

A flash of lightning slowly gathered and took shape. Bronya folded her arms to support the full hearts of people, leaning against the aisle where the contestants entered. "It seems that he did it after all."

——Before the match started, Ikki went to find Yuri-chan, hoping that Ayatsuji would not be judged to have violated the rules, and that he could face the opponent head-on.

"But even so, how can you win, Ayatsuji Ayase? Relying on that crude trap?"

Even with her eyes closed, Bronya could feel... the dense sword marks on the playing field. Similarly, this was no problem for Ikki either.

"There's nothing to see." Bronya retracted her gaze, closed her silver-pink eyes, and waited for the game to end.

【The winner is Kurogane Ikki! 】

As expected, even without Ittoshura, Ikki still won. Of course, unlike the original novel where he was covered in blood, he was able to walk out of the arena safely.

"Bronya has been waiting for you for a long time." A milky voice sounded from the entrance passage.

She didn't comment on this, simply leaving a message before turning and leaving. "Bronya knows what you're planning. But before that, I suggest you go to the hospital first."

Ikki and Ayatsuji Ayase looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Um, has Bronya always been like this?" Ayatsuji Ayase asked weakly.

"Ah, maybe..."

Ikki scratched his head, unsure, "But since she said so, I'd better go and take a look."

……

The skinny man on the hospital bed sat up straight, the light streaming softly through the window illuminating his face.

A plain hospital business card was taken out and pinched between the man's two dry fingers, revealing the black font on it, "Pharmacist General Hospital?"

"Click~"

As the door opened, Ayase Ayase froze in shock. One hand silently rose to cover her mouth, tears welling in her eyes.

"..., Oh Do-san!"

After a while of emotions brewing, Ayatsuji Ayase could no longer suppress the feelings surging in her heart, and rushed forward crying loudly, "Wuwaaaaaa——! Oh Do-san, Oh Do-san..."

Seeing this, Ikki wisely left the ward and saw Bronya leaning against the wall. "Sure enough, it was you who did it, Bronya."

"Ikki has forgotten what Byakuya's name is? Yakushi Byakuya, that's his full name."

"Pharmacist... 'White Knight'?"

After that, Ayatsuji Kaito was transferred to Yakushi Hospital, where he received more meticulous treatment from Yakushi Kiriko. Although his heart disease was still not curable, at least it no longer affected his daily life.

"Bronya"

A day passed, and Bai Ye recovered. He transformed into pure white Yang Lei and looked at Bronya with a kind face.

"But Bai Ye is fine, isn't he?"

It's her anyway, Bronya said without mercy, her conscience not hurting at all.
