Chapter 196: 196
"Fine . Good morning my dear students . Professor Manohar is really happy to see you again . " Manohar accordingly modified his greeting .
"Don't talk in third person like a madman and show some respect toward the academy and your students!"
Linjos had hoped that by forcing the unruly Professor to take an active role in the Healer class, it would teach him a lesson about responsibility . His plan, however, had backfired right from the start .
"Why are you so angry? I had just got my hands on nagas' claws, you know how hard they are to come by . Also, yes, I may have lost track of time, but I did find a cure for Prixyne . Doesn't it amount to something?" Manohar rebuked with an indignant tone .
The class gasped in amazement . Prixyne was a congenital degenerative disease, even worse than the one Tista had suffered from during her youth . It would affect the nervous system, making it collapse over time .
It required constant treatments just to slow down the illness's progression and relieve the symptoms . For decades it had been considered a death sentence and now it had a permanent cure .
"Of course it does . It's the only reason why you are here instead of being chained to your desk!"
"Let's cut to the chase . " Manohar ignored him, resuming his speech .
"You already have learned most of what you need to graduate as full-fledged fourth year healers . What you still lack is experience on the field . During the third trimester, there will be no more lessons .
The academy will send you wherever there is a dire need for a competent healer, and despite you don't even closely qualify, you'll have to do . "
"Manohar!" Linjos roared .
"I mean, you will be split into groups and sent to different locations, like true professionals . You will contribute to the welfare of the Kingdom on the academy's behalf .
Your grades will be influenced by your performance . It will also affect the prestige and the name of the academy . Your success will be my success, your failure will be Linjos' failure . Everyone knows I never fail . "
Linjos facepalmed, his killing intent became more palpable by the second .
"Since for some reason that I'm unable to understand our Headmaster is angry at me…"
"Because you went missing for almost three months!"
"…I'm forced to babysit the most incompetent group . "
"Last warning!" Linjos' hands were dangerously close to Manohar's throat .
"I mean, I will supervise the work of those whose skills are still a diamond in the rough . All the other groups will not have a supervisor . Keep in mind that this opportunity is a great honour for all of you .
You have the chance to let your name be renowned even before graduation, to meet important figures of the Kingdom and help those in need .
At the same time, you'll probably kill someone due to your incompetence, giving my dear friend Marth an excellent excuse to kick you out of the academy and reduce my insane amount of paperwork . "Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting .
"I'd never do such a thing!" Marth Warped in the class too .
"Also, it's completely different from the speech I wrote you . You had to encourage them to soldier up in the face of failure, telling them it's normal for a healer to lose a patient or make a wrong diagnosis!"
Before he could start an argument, Professor Marth took the lead .
"Remember, never listen to anything he says outside of the medical field . From today onwards, even if just for a few hours each day, you'll have the same role and responsibilities of an academy sanctioned healer .
"The reason you'll be split into groups is to be each other's lifeline . Never be afraid to ask for help or to admit your mistakes . If you manage to graduate this year and the next one, countless lives will be in your hands .
"It's a heavy responsibility that not everyone is capable to shoulder . A strong spirit, wits, and talent are the minimum requirements to become a good healer .
Go and make us proud . "
Marth's assistants handed to each group the list of patients they had to attend to before the end of the lesson . Each name was associated with a hospital, along with the instructions of how to reach it from the city's closest branch of the Mage Association .
Lith's group belonged to the top percentile, so their list contained only sensitive names . Most patients weren't hospitalized, but required home visits . Professor Marth personally went to speak with them .
"I recommend you to always move together . I have the utmost trust in each one of you, but these people are powerful . " He tapped on the list .
"It's better to not disappoint or offend them . Quylla, you are still too meek when dealing with patients, so I'll appoint you as team leader . " Quylla turned pale, instinctively hiding behind Friya .
"You will take care of dealing with the families and make sure your colleagues receive the respect they deserve . Without a confident attitude, people will always walk all over you .
"Lith, your bedside manners are terrible . Your duty will be to take care of the patients' psychological welfare, explaining to them what's the cause of their affliction and reassuring them when necessary .
Friya will be the main healer and Yurial the diagnostician . You two have no weak point, aside from the lack of experience . If anything happens, contact the academy immediately and we will do the rest . "
He patted them on the back before going to speak to another group . Yurial took a quick glance at the list, frowning with a worried expression .
"This is much worse than I thought . Most of these people are as stuck up as annoying . They consider my household unfit of its title because we contribute to the Kingdom from 'only' three generations .
I'm sorry Quylla, but either you put out your best Lith's impression or they'll use us like doormats . Let's get moving, we have a lot to do and so little time . "
