After school that morning, Qiao Sang headed toward the infirmary.
"Teacher, I'm here for a Brain Domain Test." Qiao Sang pushed the door open and said.
"Wait a moment." The young doctor was examining a pet beast whose head and back were covered in a hard wooden shell, with a brown tip on its tail.
A boy with Southeast Asian features stood beside him.
Qiao Sang glanced at the gemstone set into his cuff and saw that it was white.
A first-year student... Qiao Sang found a seat and sat down.
At Sainan High School, the gemstones embedded in the cuffs of each grade's uniforms were different colors. First-years had white, second-years had green, and third-years had blue, making them easy to distinguish.
After examining it for a while, the young doctor said, "It can be treated, but it won't fully recover until tonight."
The boy frowned.
"I have wilderness field practice this afternoon. How am I supposed to participate if it isn't better?"
"Junjun..."
The pet beast with the wooden shell covering its head lowered its head as though it had done something wrong.
The young doctor chose his words carefully. "Jun Jian Grass can still battle without any issue. It'll just move a little slower than usual, so it shouldn't affect the practice."
"Kuer Qiaang Li once said that before heading onto the battlefield, even the slightest discomfort in a pet beast could put it at a disadvantage." The boy raised his head, looked at the young doctor, and said seriously, "If it'll be at a disadvantage, then how could it possibly not affect the practice?"
Qiao Sang's mouth twitched hard.
Was it really appropriate to use a famous quote about war in a wilderness field practice class? You only had one low-level pet beast. Didn't you know
