Chapter 69: Grade C
Hugo watched for a moment as the young hunter lay on the cold ground, still shaken by the after-effects of the end of his [Berserker] skill. He motioned to the medical assistants to come quickly, pointing at Isaac:
- Come on, he needs quick treatment. Bring him some energy syringes. His body has taken far more than the usual limit for a test of this rank.
The two assistants, dressed in white coats, arrived at once with a small briefcase. One took out several syringes filled with a luminous bluish liquid, while the other checked Isaac’s vital signs with a portable scanner.
Isaac watched, breathing heavily, his muscles still shaking with violent tremors. Hugo crouched down beside him again, his gaze serious but benevolent:
- Whatever you’ve used has done you a world of damage. Berserker] is a dangerous skill, especially at your level. You need to learn to control its side effects. These syringes contain a powerful liquid energy that will accelerate your body’s natural cellular recovery process.
He paused slightly, staring straight into Isaac’s eyes:
- Now, listen carefully: as soon as you get out of here, go and restore yourself immediately. Eat a lot, and eat well. Your body is going to draw heavily on your reserves, it’s going to need resources.
Isaac nodded weakly, grimacing slightly as one of the assistants gently injected the energetic liquid into his vein. He immediately felt a pleasant warmth invade his muscles, soothing the stabbing pain that had been running through them since the end of the fight.
Hugo stood up and gave Isaac one last look:
- I’ll take care of the official paperwork and your test results. You just lie here and recuperate. I’ll only be a few minutes.
He turned and disappeared into an adjacent corridor, leaving Isaac in the care of the medical assistants.
