Chapter 387 - TESTING THE SAMPLE (1/2)

Hina broke from her thoughts and looked up from the screen. She turned and smiled when she saw the two people staring at her. She stood up and rushed to hug Akira.

”My dear, you came.” She stretched out her arms.  ​​

Akira ducked behind Seiji and pushed him to receive the hug from Hina. The enthusiastic woman fell towards Seiji, and he caught her with a helpless smile. It seemed his sister was really supportive of him and her friend.

But he did not mind as he held the lithe and beautiful lady.

Akira stepped from behind Seiji with a stern expression. ”What have I told you about coming near me with hospital germs?”

Hina detached herself from Seiji. The man was stunned for a moment before he understood. Akira was trying to escape from contact. He did not know she was that afraid of germs.

”Sorry. I missed you. I haven't seen you in two days.” Hina chuckled.

”You have been working hard.” Akira felt a little pained for her.

Hina chuckled. ”If you are feeling concerned for me, you can join the institute and help me out.”

Akira rolled her eyes.

”Is Akira a doctor too?” Seiji asked with surprise.

He was starting to wonder if he was the underachiever in the group. Even that annoying Kaito who always stuck to his cute sister seemed to be some sort of busy boss, doing this and that. As for him, he was married to medicine.

”Only in a technical sense.” Akira laughed awkwardly.

”Don't downgrade yourself. Akira joined the medical school as a super young teen. She was a rarely seen genius.” Hina paused in lament. ”There was only one problem. She could not bear to be near sick people.”

Akira blushed with increasing embarrassment.

Seiji's lips twitched. ”Didn't you know you would be dealing with sick people when you joined? And didn't you deal with cadavers during the initial days?”

Akira puffed her cheeks. ”I'm fine with cadavers. It's the living patients that were the problem.”

”The first day she went to the hospital and met with a patient, she looked at the man for a moment, turned to the teacher and simply said 'no' before turning and leaving.” Hina laughed until tears came to her eyes.

Akira joined the medical school on a whim and due to the Chief's insistence on higher education. She thought it would be fun because Hina was interested in medicine. Also, it was a special accelerated program which would mean a quick end to college.

Who knew she would not like it?

”So what did she do?” Seiji asked.

”She switched to pharmaceutical sciences and completed the coursework in record time.” Hina sighed. ”After that, she did not have an interest in hospitals. After I completed my requirements and worked for a while, I also escaped and followed her around.”

”What other hidden strengths do you have?” Seiji asked Akira.

”You will found out in time.” She stuck her tongue out. ”Now, go away. We have some business to discuss.”

Hina agreed and shoved him out of the door. He was speechless when he heard the lock clicking after him. What secrets could they possibly have? They were probably doing it to annoy him.
