Chapter 107 - Old Drunkard (1/2)
”Don't let them escape so easily!” Demetrio's expression was full of wrath as he ordered in a hoarse voice. He glared at the traitorous Marchand Family soldiers. They had actually colluded with the demi-humans! Everyone must join hands in repelling those aliens, but one of the strongest families on Earth had already betrayed them.
The academy's guards fired wildly at the escaping soldiers. They did not even bother thinking about the consequences of depleting their origin essence. They only wanted to avenge their fallen comrades.
”Doov!”
”Doov!”
”Doov!”
Demetrio then saw the two vice headmasters retreating towards the academy with solemn expressions. Kenji was carrying a lifeless body gently.
They both landed on top of the academy's wall, but they did not stop moving and both headed inside the academy while carrying Zero's body.
Demetrio glanced at them and then at the retreating enemies. He decided to stay and take command of killing a few more enemies. He was hoping that the old man would be able to heal Zero.
Recalling that old doctor, Demetrio's hair stood on end for some reason. He was one of the new slaves bought by Cale within the entire year. He was a drunkard and if not for Cale telling them that the old man was a doctor, they would have thought that he was just a trouble-making old man.
”Old man, I will entrust Zero to you.” He muttered in a worried voice.

Kenji and Leonhart brought Zero to the academy's clinic. They had also seen the old doctor in this clinic. Although he looked like a scammer, they chose to believe him. If even Cale did not think twice about making him as the academy's doctor, then why would they still doubt him?
They went inside the clinic without knocking the door.
Inside, they saw an old man lazily curled up on a chair. He held a wine flask in his hands while his eyes were closed tight. His face was flushed red, clearly drunk. He was not even able to wake up after those loud explosions.
”Old man! Wake up! We need your help!” Leonhart was a bit annoyed so he could not help but shout while shaking the old man's body.
The old man's eyes opened slowly and they saw a pair of murky orbs which had experienced the vicissitudes of life. They felt a stifling sensation which they had only felt when facing Cale. This old man's strength was unfathomable!
He ignored the two vice headmasters, his focus was completely on Zero's body. He then stood and pointed towards the bed. Kenji understood what he meant and he gently placed Zero's body on the bed.
Zero's face was pale with no hints of origin essence. He had also lost a lot of blood and he could be considered as a dead man. But the two vice headmasters thought otherwise. How could the strongest mercenary of Gallantos die so easily?!
They glanced at the old doctor who was still standing nonchalantly before them.
