6 Falling Sick (1/2)
”Rika! Wake up!” (Luke)
I opened my eyes to find myself inside the library study room with a pile of books stacked up in front of me. ”I'm up, so stop shaking me,” I groaned.
”How long was I sleeping for?” (Rika)
”About the time it took me to read all those books in that pile that you brought in. You were sleeping for such a long time and I was going to leave because I finished reading all those books. So I woke you up to tell you that I was going back to our room to get some sleep. Maybe if you're feeling tired you should leave as well and tackle those books tomorrow.” (Luke)
I shook my head while refusing Luke's advice, and grabbed another book from the pile to start reading. ”No, I'm not feeling that tired anymore. I'm going to stay here until I finish reading all these books. I'll go back to the room later when I feel like I'm confident to pass the exam with at least 100%.”
Luke looked at me like: Are you sure that's even possible? I'm sorry Luke, not everyone is inhumanly capable as you. Luke left the room as I drifted my focus onto these never ending pile of books.
When I finally finished reading all the books that I took from the dimensional library, I stood up to take a break. I stretched a little and quickly got back to work to search through the dimensional library for more relevant books.

I felt sick and exhausted, maybe I even had a fever. I was sure that after my second pile of books, I was still feeling fine, but maybe it was starting from the fourth round that I felt I was starting to feel a little dizzy.
At this rate, I realized that I probably couldn't even walk anymore. Since I couldn't move my legs anyways, I sat back in my chair to finish the seventh pile of books I got from the dimensional library. I was thankful that I still had the stamina to move my arms, although this ability probably got transferred from my past life where I had to study for majority of my time.
I knew that with this much studying, I would get at least a 95% on the exam. However, that was 5% short of what I wanted. That 5% would prevent me from buying a decent bed, clothes, the necessary furniture and more!
I tried to move my legs before Luke would enter the room, however things did not go as it was planned. I tried moving my arms after I couldn't move my legs, but my body wouldn't listen to me. Luke entered the room one minute later to see me lying down on the floor unable to move.
I tried to come up with a decent excuse to explain why I was on the floor. ”This is a kind of exercise to help someone study better for a exam.” (Rika)
”So in order to do 'some kind of exercise' a person lays on the floor with flushed cheeks with a burning hot body temperature to prepare for a exam?” Luke asked suspiciously while touching my forehead.
”I learned it from the history book that people from district five do this often.” Well, I wasn't exactly lying because people from district five did do weird stuff in the past like witch hunts.
Luke was silent for a moment with a loss of words. After he looked like he finished pondering what to do, he lifted me up in a princess carry to the infirmary room.
I wondered how a four year old would have enough muscle or stamina to carry a 18kg girl with his stick thin arms that looked very fragile. When a doctor noticed Luke placing me onto a empty bed, she exclaimed in great worry: ”This patient looks like she has a high fever!”
”What medicine do I have to take to get better fast enough to prepare for the upcoming exam,” I fainted asked.
”Even with the medicine it's going to take at least half a day to recover.” The doctor answered gently.
Wow! The medical system of this world is astoundingly more impressive than my past life. In my past life, it took at least three days to get better from a high fever. Well, I guess I'll resume my studying after a few hours so that I can recover.
I took the medicine the doctor fed me to drink and rested on the nice bed for a couple hours. When I got back the ability to move again, I tested my body to see if I was fine. I was feeling a bit dizzy, but that would be fine because I would be taking another break again after finishing the seventh pile of books.
I got up to walk towards the exit of the infirmary room to see Luke behind the exit grabbing onto a piece of melon bread and a bottle of strawberry milk. ”Are these for me?”
