The educational systems in this world can not truly be compared with a certain other world, where if an accident had occurred upon a school trip, parents of the victim would weep and scold the principal of the school, before calling their lawyers to discuss compensation. Where the parents of the children upon the trip, while perhaps not involved at all, would stand along side them thinking about suing for the potential trauma their sons and daughters experienced (despite the fact that several actually took pictures to post on Instagram). The Ascending Mountain Institute was churning out potential immortals and supporters of such, not producing the next generation of pampered brats with little idea of what the real world was like and this is what the families of such were seeking from them. Otherwise, what was the point of sending them there in the first place?
If Sun's father was to learn that he'd been hurt in Dire Bear Fox attack, he would have likely scoffed and spat out something along the lines of; "Weak brat! In my day, we wrestled Dire Fox Bears for fun after breakfast!" His Mother still may have wept though.
The teachers wouldn't bother looking into whether Corvus should or should not have taken the students upon this 'field trip,' though from this the man would learn one thing; First Years really couldn't be allowed to do anything interesting while they settled into the reality of this school. The reason that he had been called away from his cute apprentice was due to a prank that a couple of First Year boys thought it would be fun to play on a couple of pretty First Year girls. Others may have experience something similar in their teen years; "Look out! A Fox Bear!" One girl had squealed in fright, while the other tore her paper talisman. Neither had leapt into the arms of their two 'willing protectors', but they had kicked them in the shins, before apologising to Teacher Corvus, who had just arrived upon the scene.
Corvus did scold the two boys, crying wolf was never an intelligent idea, especially when there were real Dire Fox Bears just a few hundred feet away. And then another talisman was torn. Corvus frowned and sent the four students to gather at the meeting point outside of the beasts territory while he went to deal with the new issue.
On seeing the situation, his heart almost spilled from his throat. Still, he didn't have hundreds of years of experience for nothing. He gathered the unconscious boy into his arms, before digging around in his interspatial pouch for pills. Tossing a few bottles on the floor, he conveniently spotted a bottle with a cute, wooden label upon it, declaring its contents, so he didn't have to search long. He withdrew one of the One Heart Pills from its bottle and placed it into Sun's mouth, only expelling his breath once he saw the boy's throat move to automatically swallow the dissolving medicine.
At that point, a couple of seniors happened to be passing by with a First year, having completed their task of observing the Fox Bears from afar. "Gather up the students," he instructed them. "Take them back to the school." They nodded in understanding, one guided the First year back while the other ran to find other students that were still in the territory. Tearing a few strips of cloth from his tunic, Corvus wrapped Sun's wound well before picking him up and hurrying to the Healers Hall.
"What are his injuries?" The Healer did not offer a greeting once Corvus arrived, simply began his questions.
"Deep cuts within his lower leg," Corvus said. "Caused by the claws of a Dire Fox Bear. He may have lost a fair bit of blood." He sounded as calm as he looked, or would have done were it not for the mess of emotions within his eyes as he glanced down at the young Martial Artist, whose cheek was red and swollen as well. It gave the Healer pause for thought, but he said nothing, just indicated that pale boy should be placed upon a bed so he could look at the main injury.
Carefully, the Healer peeled off the make-shift bandage, which had been dyed crimson and dried sticky upon Sun's leg. A frown deepened the lines upon his forehead as he examined the wound. "You said it was a few deep cuts?" The Healer suddenly questioned.
Corvus had been holding his breath, ready to comfort his apprentice if he woke in pain as the Healer attended him but let it go as he replied; "Yes, nearly to the bone. Why?"
"Look for yourself," The Healer replied, gathering the lengths of bloody fabric before tossing them into a bin. Corvus frowned and moved closer in order to see the wound. His eyes widened as what came into slight was the scabbed lines of what looked like a few newly healed, shallow scratches.
"I don't understand," Corvus replied. "There was blood everywhere, his leg appeared deeply lacerated."
"Hmm, I believe you," The Healer replied. The bandage would not have been so blood soaked were it a normal wound. "Did you give him any pills?"
"Just a One Heart Pill," Corvus answered. This healing pill was intended for external wounds after all, while Blood Pills were better for internal wounds. Corvus had wanted to seal the wound first, to prevent more blood loss, but he was not expecting... The Healer also appeared unconvinced and Corvus began placing numerous jade bottles upon the nearby table, before finding the bottle with both a carved wooden label and one less pill within it. All of the others contained five pills, this now just had four.
Corvus removed another pill from the bottle and a pleasant scent drifted from the attractively translucent pill. The Healer's frown deepened once more as he grabbed one of his own stock of One Heart Pills, a peak quality pill he kept for emergencies such as this. He drew a sharp intake of breath. Although the quality of Corvus' pill did not quite compare, the Healer could tell that its effects were somewhat superior. And yet, there was no doubt, it was just a One Heart Pill.
"Where did you get these pills?" The Healer questioned with much excitement in his tone.
"Um..." Corvus tried to recall, but was distracted by a soft groan. "Is my apprentice alright, otherwise?" The Healer inwardly scowled, but remembered that the patient did indeed come first and took the boy's pulse.
"I will give him a Vital Essence pill," The Healer replied, "to replenish his lost blood. Keep him off his leg for a couple of days, just to be on the safe side." After all, he could only guess the effectiveness of the improved pill. "But he should be fine. Thanks, in part, to whomever gave you those pills." Corvus nodded, appreciatively and couldn't help but wonder; just where did he pick up those pills?
