In the hospital, Melody was waiting outside the operation room, covering her face the whole time. This was the moment she had been waiting for, so she was waiting for the good news.
Besides her was Kanaria. Since they were waiting for Hana to send all the people for the construction work, she still had time to accompany Melody in her hardest time.
Meanwhile, inside the operation room, Lucifania couldn't help but drop her jaw to the ground.
Clovis' mother, Aisha, had asked her to become the first assistant, but she was completely flabbergasted by Aisha's skill.
She thought the operation itself would take several hours, but when she looked at the clock above the room, only an hour had passed.
Aisha operated on him at a speed that no one had ever seen before. One could argue that speed didn't mean accuracy, but she had never seen a surgery this perfect.
Aisha's fingers moved even more delicately than a pianist's. She completely controlled the entire thing, from bleeding to suture.
Normally, this kind of operation required a microscope, but Aisha didn't even bother to get one. It was as if she could see everything with her own eyes.
After she fixed the inside, all that was left was closing up the head.
She tilted her head left and right as if trying to loosen her neck before smiling. "What's wrong? Close your mouth first. I don't want to fix your jaw if it ends up falling off."
"Ah!" Lucifania hurriedly closed her mouth as her body tensed up.
Lucifania nodded furiously.
"Then what do you think?"
"I have never seen a surgery this fast and this perfect before. If someone tells me I have passed out and am dreaming right now, I will believe them."
Aisha chuckled. "Thank you. Unfortunately, I don't think you can do it."
"That's…" Lucifania obviously understood this for several reasons. Still, it was kind of hurt to hear it directly from Aisha.
"The reason is simple. You don't have Brain Affinity. When you train your Brain Affinity to the highest degree, you will be able to see what normally can't be seen. For me, I focus on my eyes.
"However, for people like Melody, she should hone all her senses. I can't teach her, but I have met a person who can actually sense an entire building . How many people are inside, how much furniture there is, how they're moving, and their current exact location…
"That person can see it. As your operator, she should strive for that kind of thing. On the other hand, Kanaria is different. She is a sniper. She can pursue a similar path to mine, which focuses only on eyes, or other things. After all, she is also going to be the manager of the city.
"Pass this message to them once we settle things down.
"As for you… You have Muscle Affinity. It's impossible for you to have such a sharp sense. However, what do you think you can do with your Muscle Affinity as a doctor?"
She thought for a moment before shaking her head. "I don't know."
"The answer is pretty simple. In fact, it has been right in front of you the whole time. Muscle Affinity focuses on the delicate control of your muscles.
"In other words, you should be able to fully master each of your own blades. Their lengths and their shapes are all different, right? And that's because they each have their own purposes.
"If you can incorporate their size and everything they can offer, you should be able to keep up with them with no problem.
"Of course, I believe you also now understand those unique ways of handling things in the medical field."
Lucifania nodded. "Yes. I can imagine it. I will also pass along your message."
"Good." Aisha smiled. "What's your major again?"
"I'm not specialized in surgery, so it didn't really hurt when you told me I can't do it."
"Ahaha." Aisha looked away. "Well, you will probably find the thing in that place more interesting than my surgery. He's already stable, but he needs a full rest today, so we'll transfer him to the ALA facility to stimulate his brain."
"Understood." Lucifania acknowledged the arrangement.
"All right. Take care of the rest here. I'm going to inform her brother." Aisha waved her hand while walking away.
"Thank you for your hard work." Luci politely bowed. She obviously had told her teacher about this matter.
Her teacher was one of the top doctors in this country, but compared to Aisha, he could only listen if Aisha wanted to talk. After all, this was the difference between the top of the country and the top of the world.
That was why he told her to learn well under Aisha. Besides, after listening to Aisha's suggestion about her development, she might not just develop as a doctor but as a combatant too.
Luci took a deep breath before shifting her focus back to Dante.
Outside the operation room, Aisha calmly walked through the sliding door.
"!!!" Melody and Kanaria hurriedly stood up, facing Aisha. They had a worried expression on their face, anxious for the answer.
Aisha gave them a gentle smile to reassure them. "The operation went well. There was no problem and everything was under control the whole time.
"Still, he needs to rest for a whole day, so I won't wake him up. However, you can still see him.
"All the data shows a promise, so I can bring him to the ALA facility for further treatment. I believe it won't take long for him to open his eyes.
"So, if there's no problem, I will bring him there tomorrow."
Melody felt relieved. "Thank you…"
"You can thank me later once he wakes up."
Melody clenched her fists. Aisha definitely would like to ask her whether Melody wanted to go with her brother or stay here, but as a doctor, she believed it would be better for her to hold that question for the time being.
However, Melody seemed to have made a decision. Even before she asked that question, Melody grabbed Aisha's hands, asking, "Please take care of my brother…"
"!!!" Aisha raised her eyebrows. "I wanted to ask you that, but are you sure?"
Melody nodded. "Yes. I have been prepared for this. I know I can help a lot more here, so I should remain here. I have once sworn to Clovis that I will follow him if he can help my brother. That's what I'm going to do."
"I will respect your decision. Still, I'm going to inform you when he wakes up. You should visit him once in a while." Aisha smiled.
"Yes. Thank you very much."
