Chapter 124 Galens Birthday Feast 3 (2/2)

Peanut allergies.

His face and eyes were swollen that he looked like his face got stung by a swarm of bees. And it seems like he has trouble breathing as an effect of his allergies.

Professor Gnarly immediately grabbed Firo by the collar and then he dug his hand inside his spatial pouch that he tied by his belt. Then, he pulled out some sort of leaves that was orange in color and placed them by Firo's nose. When Firo tried inhaling, he felt his constricted throat open up and let in some air. And after sniffing the leaves for a few seconds, Firo was finally able to breathe properly.

”Disqualified.”

Professor Gnarly announced as he let go of Firo.

Utterly confused, Firo bowed towards Professor Gnarly.

”May this student have the chance to ask Professor Gnarly as to the reason why this student is to be disqualified?”

Professor Gnarly looked at him with annoyance in his eyes. But seeing the trembling form of Firo as he bowed, he relented and decided to answer him.

”You cannot proceed further. I temporarily stopped the symptoms of your sickness through the Relaxant leaves I had but if the effect of those leaves were to wear off, those symptoms will return as worse as before. There is a high chance of death from lack of air if you were to stay and be stubborn. And I cannot give you another dosage of these leaves or else your muscles might relax too much that you'll be immobilized for days.”

”Besides, you are from Lotus class, are you not? Get out and go find your prefect. Only those priests and priestesses that had reached the Senior rank can cure the effects of those persistent diseases. Thus, your prefect is more than capable to fully heal those symptoms, not me nor anyone in this sanctuary.”

Firo looked up, teary eyed from the missed opportunity he had but he nodded towards Professor Gnarly as he understood what he had to do. So, with heavy shoulders, he walked towards the exit of the testing area while sighing in dismay.

After Firo left, the audience finally calmed down and the test continued.

There were only four people left.

Inna, Galen, Herad, and Drona.

Drona was a silent maiden, and she never seemed to have cared about anything that has been happening on the table. It seemed like all she had in mind was to mind her own business and to simply pass. But feeling that something wrong is going to happen, she couldn't help but finally look towards the other students.

And when she did, she couldn't help but be suspicious of the sudden smile that appeared on Herad's face as he peered at Inna.
