Uraya has experienced countless battles since he was young, and his rich combat experience immediately made him realize that Green is not someone he can easily defeat. Green can manipulate elemental magic with his bare hands, even dispersing it like popping a water balloon. It's a technique that Uraya has never seen before. In this situation, one would be foolish to assume that the opponent is showing off.
He took a glance at Aloof, who responded with a smile. There was no hint of surprise on her face, as if she had expected this outcome.
It seems that Aloof knew beforehand that he would lose, which is why he didn't hold back against Green. Realizing this, Uraya's expression became frustrated and displeased.
Finally, after contemplating for a few seconds, he released the elemental energy around his body and let out a deep breath.
"I give up, you win."
Upon hearing these words, Green didn't react. Although he was somewhat narcissistic, this was indeed expected.
However, the next moment stunned Green.
"Splurt!"
Uraya was about to return to the pavilion to continue the conversation when suddenly a metallic scent filled his mouth. He realized something was wrong and then forcefully spat out a mouthful of blood. His vision went dark, and he fell face down on the icy surface, unconscious.
The sudden turn of events caught Aloof off guard. She didn't expect this to happen. Quickly regaining her composure, she rushed to Uraya's side to check his condition. Uraya appeared to be in a state of unconsciousness, and the situation was not optimistic.
"Green, go get a doctor. My brother...!" Aloof's voice trembled with panic.
Upon hearing Aloof's distressed voice, Green immediately came to Uraya's side and made a quiet gesture. He then placed his hand on Uraya's forehead and transferred his inner energy into Uraya's body through a special technique.
Inner energy, also known as source energy, is the fundamental energy in the world of superhumans. In that world, if a comrade is injured, emergency treatment can be provided by transferring source energy. However, this method consumes an immense amount of energy. Directly transferring source energy is different from using it to activate superhuman abilities. If not controlled properly, it could drain one's own source energy and result in death.
Green had used this method on the unconscious Aelissia before and successfully awakened her. So, Green wondered if it would work on Uraya as well.
However, to Green's surprise, Uraya's condition did not improve at all. He still had a furrowed brow and appeared to be in intense pain, causing great anxiety for Aloof, who was by his side.
"Green, how is my brother?" Aloof asked, her voice filled with concern.
Green remained silent. He was now panicking because this situation only arose after he had a confrontation with Aloof's older brother. He feared that Aloof might blame him for what happened.
Seeing Green's lack of response, Aloof continued, "Green, you stay here with him. I'll go get a doctor!"
"Wait!" Green stopped Aloof. After regaining his composure, he immediately perceived the crucial point of the situation. The transmission of source energy into Uraya's body had no effect. Based on his experience, there was only one reason for this – Uraya wasn't injured; he was afflicted by a disease.
"Aloof, if you trust me, give this to your brother." Green took out a bottle of Universal Elixir from his personal space. This was an item that Green had used on Aloof when she was drugged by the minions of the demonic cult in Anglia City.
Upon hearing Green's words, Aloof's face lit up with joy. Although she didn't know what the green liquid in the bottle was, she still took the Universal Elixir from Green and carefully poured it into Uraya's mouth.
Aloof's unquestioning attitude surprised Green. Uraya was her family, and even in a situation where his condition was unknown and could potentially be life-threatening, she still trusted Green so blindly. It warmed Green's heart.
It seemed that his previous worries were unnecessary. Aloof's level of trust in him far exceeded Green's expectations.
Just moments after Aloof gave Uraya the Universal Elixir, his pale face visibly regained color."Cough, cough..."
Yulia coughed twice, spitting out some residual blood from her mouth, and then opened her eyes.
Seeing Yulia wake up, Aloof felt relieved and quickly asked, "Oh, thank goodness! Brother, are you okay? Do we need to see a doctor?"
"Well... I guess rushing on the road for the past two days took a toll on me. Let's go see a doctor first."
Aloof wanted to support Yulia, but he refused by shaking his head and easily stood up.
At that moment, Yulia felt strange because he found himself full of energy and the weakness he had been feeling before had disappeared. However, he still thought it would be better to go see a doctor.
Walking slowly on the way to find a doctor, Yulia pondered and finally asked Aloof, "Aloof, how long was I unconscious for?"
"Um... just about a minute. I used something from Green to wake you up."
"So, Green saved me? Thank you, it seems you are more reliable than I imagined."
Yulia stopped and turned back to Green, who was walking side by side with Reiko, and thanked him. Green could also sense a different tone in Yulia's voice when talking to him. If there had been any doubt before, now Yulia completely trusted him.
At the same time, Yulia, upon hearing Aloof's words, realized where the abnormality in his body came from. The doubts about this anomaly mostly disappeared, and he felt that his physical condition was much better than before, fundamentally so.
Not only Yulia noticed this, but Aloof also noticed the difference in Yulia.
In Aloof's memory, Yulia had always had a sickly pale complexion, and never looked as good as now.
So Aloof purposely slowed down their pace and walked side by side with Green.
"Thank you, Green."
"No problem, after all, you are my brother-in-law... uh!?"
Aloof suddenly kissed Green on the cheek, and the soft touch made Green shudder. Soon, his face blushed.
"Hehe...!"
Seeing Green's startled expression, Aloof mischievously chuckled, then quickened his pace to catch up with Yulia.
Green instinctively touched his cheek, which had just been kissed by Aloof, but before he could fully recover from the warmth, he suddenly felt a similar touch on the other side.
"...Reiko?!"
Green's peripheral vision told him that after being kissed by Aloof, he was kissed again by Reiko.
Both sides of his cheeks still carried the gentle touch and warmth from the two, making Green feel incredibly happy from deep within. However, he also felt a bit confused. Why would Reiko suddenly kiss him in a situation like this? It didn't seem like something Reiko would do.
At the moment, Reiko's cheeks blushed just like Green's.
She noticed Green's puzzled gaze, evaded eye contact for a few moments, then looked down at the ground and nervously explained in a soft voice, "Aloof just expressed gratitude to you, right? I also wanted to express such feelings to Green, so... did I make you uncomfortable? Green, you... don't dislike me, do you?"
Finally, Reiko looked up at Green, her eyes gleaming with uncertain light, appearing quite anxious.
Green was stunned for a moment by her unexpected response. He never expected Reiko to come up with such an explanation, and it didn't seem like she was pretending. This inevitably made Green's mood become excited.
Looking at Reiko's adorable appearance, Green couldn't help but want to hold her tightly in his arms. But he knew it wasn't the time for such actions, so he suppressed that thought, and gently caressed Reiko's soft silver hair - it felt much better than his own.
"Reiko, you're really timid. Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will never dislike you."
"Well..."
Receiving the answer she wanted, Reiko leaned against Green's shoulder playfully, showing a look of enjoyment.
Green also smiled lightly at Reiko, but at that moment, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body. He turned his head and found Aloof giving him a resentful glare with her small eyes.-The gaze of death.
Green couldn't help but shudder all over. Sensing that something was wrong with Green, Mio raised her head slightly and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong, Green?"
"Nothing, just spilled some vinegar..."
"Vinegar?"
Mio blinked in confusion, apparently not understanding what Green was saying.
At this moment, Green was already prepared to be scolded by Aloof, but Aloof simply turned his head and completely ignored Green's meaning.
Green breathed a sigh of relief, but wondered if Aloof was planning to deal with him later.
Yulia noticed that Aloof seemed a bit displeased, so she discreetly glanced behind her. When she saw Mio's gaze towards Green, Yulia immediately understood, but she didn't say anything.
After walking for a few minutes, they finally arrived at the doctor's room.
The doctor who examined Yulia's condition was named Faelana Hibergla. Her family was skilled in the art of healing and had served the royal family for generations. Faelana was the most talented among the younger generation of the Hibergla family.
Faelana placed her hands emitting a faint green glow on Yulia's forehead, then closed her eyes to sense Yulia's physical condition. After a short while, she suddenly opened her eyes and exclaimed.
"Wow! Your Highness Yulia, your body is so strange!"
"What's wrong?"
"Based on my examination, your body is in an amazing condition. I've never seen such a healthy person! What happened this afternoon?!"
Faelana had already found it strange when she saw Yulia's rosy complexion initially. But after using simple magic to check Yulia's body, she was even more bewildered, her lovely face filled with incredulity.
Suddenly, Faelana seemed to think of something and her astonished expression turned into panic.
"Your Highness Yulia, you didn't eat something you shouldn't have, did you?"
"Um..."
Yulia didn't answer, but instead, cast her gaze towards Aloof. Aloof also didn't answer, but instead, looked at Green. Green also didn't answer, but took out a bottle of panacea from his portable space and showed it to Faelana.
"What is this?"
"A medicine that can cure almost any illness..."
Green explained calmly, but Faelana's face paled.
