Chapter 318 - Competing (5) (1/2)

”Pour some erigent over Rika,” Lucius ordered Ben to put out the medicine.

Evan flinched as he heard me scream from the pain. I wondered what happened to the invention of wonderful painkillers as I squirmed in Luke's arms. I couldn't stop moving as the pain exploded inside my head.

”The cars are here now,” Alex let us know.

All of us sprinted to outside the competition arena. There was a whole crowd of people from everyone in our school. Lines of cars were displayed as everyone organized themselves into groups of four.

Unexpectedly, Evan slid onto a seat to join us since there was an empty seat with me being on top of Luke's lap. He crossed his arms, ”I can't leave my sister alone.”

Since we didn't have the time to kick him out, the car began to drive to get to our destination as quickly as possible. My throat became hoarse as I couldn't stop screaming in pain as Luke's suit was drenched from pouring more erigent on me. Evan pretended he was invisible as he silently watched me suffer.

”I'm going to open the diagnosis machine,” Alex opened his inventory.

Evan looked at Alex in awe when he pulled the machine out. Luke immediately pushed some buttons as he grimaced when looking at the new results. He continued to pour more erigent in response as the floor of the car became slippery from the liquid.

”I'm going to feed Rika the bottle from before. Can you take over in pouring erigent?” Luke turned to Shelly.

Shelly nodded as she took out more bottles from her inventory. She shot me an apologetic glance before beginning to pour more. Meanwhile, I couldn't scream anymore as the white powdered drink was slipping into my throat. I started to calm down as this time, the drink was helping with the pain.

When the machine flashed to show that my condition was improving, Shelly stopped opening more bottles. Meanwhile, Luke didn't stop feeding me the bottle of medicine until it was completely empty. Feeling a lot better than before, I coughed as I finally got the strength to get up to sit down.

Shelly moved to the side as I sat in between them. My vision wasn't as blurry anymore as my mind felt clearer. The original roomy car felt like it was smaller with the addition of one more person. Luke rubbed my back as I still struggled to digest the drink.

”We're going to the second district?” I tried to confirm with them.

”The hotel,” Shelly answered.
