Chapter 79 The Daily Life of an Attendant at Yakkyoku Clinic 1 (2/2)
Using his knuckles, Junius knocked on the door. However, there was no response. Knocking the door once more, Junius called out his younger brother again.
”Shin?”
”Junius?!”
This time, after affirming Junius' voice, loud thumps could be heard heading towards the door. The sounds of multiple locks being released caused Junius snicker. It turned out that Shin had been attempting to hide from Ines and was paranoid about any visitors.
As the wooden door creaked open, Junius burst out into laughter once he saw the state of Shin's face. Swollen and red, Shin greatly resembled a tree squirrel which stuffed its face with acorns. Thinking back, he couldn't blame Riko. Even he was tempted to touch the boy's face.
”Hahaha, I'd heard what happened to you. How do you feel?”
”How I feel? All I feel is pain, Junius. That senior never let go of my cheeks no matter how much I begged! Damn it what's with the direct bloodline of the Frie Clan. All of them are barbarians.”
Shin snorted.
”Don't say that… They just want to spend some time with you.”
”Screw that! I'm never leaving this room. The people outside are demons I tell you!”
”Fine fine, why don't you complain to the Instructor? I'm sure he will be able to stop them.”
Junius gave Shin a suggestion to complain to the Instructor.
”Yeah, yeah… Enough about me. How was your examination?”
Shin tried to change the conversation topic. Evidently, he was displeased with the way he was treated by the seniors. However, he suddenly remembered that Junius had accompanied the Instructor to the mayor's office so that he could be tested.
”Full marks!”
Holding up a victory sign, Junius boasted about his performance.
”Hmph! Show off...”
”Hahaha! You should also work hard! Tomorrow you will be going to Lady Seph's place for training!”
”You think I don't know that?!”
One worry of Shin's was the predators lurking outside, namely the two ladies, who were gunning for his cheeks. The other concern was his future training with Lady Seph. From the primary interaction with her, he could tell that she was no softie. In fact, she might be even worse than the Instructor.
”Oh yeah, Shin. When I was in the mayor's office, I overhead something important.”
”Hmmm, what is it?”
”Apparently there's a murderer on the loose.”
”What?!”
Junius words caused a stir in Shin's tender heart. He had heard of people killers only through stories, he had never expected one to be so close to where he lived.
”Yeah, it came straight from the mayor's mouth so it shouldn't be fake… When you return from the clinic tomorrow, try to avoid dim and isolated places. I would love to pick you up, but I'm starting my training tomorrow as well.”
After his assessment, Lewis happily allowed Junius to begin his training the next day. If all goes well, after six months of basic training, Junius would be promoted to become a junior constable.
”Alright, I'll be careful...”
