How to Heal Ingenium

Tensei Iida knew perfectly well that Stain was in a special ward at the top of the hospital. This was because the police had specifically come to him, wanting him to meet with Stain, hoping he could get some information from Stain.

However, he refused.

He saw footage of Stain's arrest on television. His younger brother was right across from Stain. She called Tenya Iida and got the whole story from him. He told Tensei Iida everything, from his decision not to report to his senior, to Stain's attempt to kill him as a sacrifice, to his impotent rage while lying on the ground.

He didn't know why, but after listening to Iida's story, he didn't resent Stain's cruelty. Instead, he felt ashamed and respectful, and had a complex emotion towards Stain.

"You don't resent him? Even though he hurt your leg..."

"I was on the opposite side of Stain at the time, so there was no reason for him to hold back," Tensei Iida interrupted Jilan, laughing as she added, "Besides, who says my leg can't recover?"

Jilan Jiyu looked at Tensei Iida with a puzzled expression. According to Iida, after the doctor examined Ingenium's legs, it was said that all the nerves had died, and he should no longer be able to use his legs...

"I have to thank U.A. High School for this," Tensei Iida explained. "I was originally prepared to give up my title Pro Hero, but All Might personally came to me, saying he could heal my injuries, which is why I came to this hospital..."

With nerve necrosis in his leg and spinal shock, coupled with Tensei Iida previous spinal injury, doctors have diagnosed that his injuries are unlikely to fully recover, although there is a possibility of recovery with prolonged training. However, in any case, it is impossible for him to stand up and become a hero again anytime soon.

Unless... he possesses a Super Regeneration Quirk like the Nomu. Could it be that this hospital has mastered the method of Quirk transplantation!? But even if the transplant is successful, there's a high chance he'll become a monster like the Nomu. Is this hospital using Tensei Iida as Xiaobai for experiments?!

A conspiracy theory flashed through Jilan's mind. After subtly expressing his concerns to Tensei Iida, he smiled and said, "I thought so too. Even if it's just as a test subject, I'd be willing to do it if it restored my ability to walk and allowed me to become Pro Hero again..."

"However, that's not the case. I've been here for three or four days, and it's confirmed that the hospital can indeed restore my ability to walk."

If it were a temporary nerve shock like the spinal cord, Jilan could try to stimulate it with Hamon to awaken it. However, his nerves are completely dead, and only Gold Experience or Crazy Diamond could restore them. The technology of this world hasn't reached the level of replacing nerves with such delicate movements. Using United States- made exoskeleton might be a possibility...

"I've prepared the medicine. Given your current condition, you should only need four or five more treatments to stand up again..." Suddenly, a woman's voice came from the doorway, tinged with weariness. She stopped abruptly, her voice uncertain, "... Jilan, what are you doing here?"

Jilan turned her head and saw Rui En Banigel, wearing a white coat and frameless glasses, who was the granddaughter of the Recovery Girl.

"... That's what I wanted to ask you too, what are you doing here?"

For some reason, Jilan is usually quite polite to most women, but when talking to Rui En, Jilan always feels a bit awkward and can't see him as a normal woman.

Before Rui En could answer, Tensei Iida said with a smile, "Miss Rui En, you've arrived."

"Unlike your Hero Course, I don't have any kind of internships. We still have classes when you leave school." Rui En was a little surprised, but she didn't mind Jilan's rude response to a question. She walked in and replied to Jilan, "All Might came to me a few days ago and asked me to treat this person. I accepted. It's that simple."

"Miss Rui En, you've worked so hard, coming to treat me every day after school," Tensei Iida said with a fawning smile.

"It's nothing, just my duty." Rui En put down his notebook, took out a test tube containing a purplish-black liquid, glanced at Jilan, and said indifferently, "... Well, there was one medicinal herb I couldn't find today, so I picked it in the garden downstairs at the hospital, which is why I'm a little late."

Jilan looked at the bubbling liquid in the test tube and silently took a step back.

If there's anything in this world that Jilan finds unacceptable, it's definitely the potions concocted by Rui En. Her Quirk is Harmony; she can extract the parts she needs from different substances and mix them with others to create a potion whose purpose is unknown.

However... her mixing method was completely unscientific; she simply stirred the ingredients in a certain order. In Jilan's view, this was a complete replica of medieval witches' potion-making techniques!

Tensei Iida saw the medicine, his face turned pale. He forced a smile and said, "Miss Rui En, are you going to drink it this time too?"

He clearly heard it just now: the potion contained a creature he'd just caught from the garden; it couldn't possibly be Hua Hua...

"No, this time we'll inject it directly into your leg." Rui En said, taking a syringe from a plastic bag and drawing the liquid from the test tube. "What you drank before should have moved to the damaged area over the past few days. This time, with the pufferfish poison and lizard tail, it should stimulate the nerves in your leg to recover a little."

She paused for a moment and added, "Although I've removed a significant amount of the toxicity, you might still experience some numbness for a while, and your lips turning purple is also normal."

... Is this a case of fighting poison with poison? Jilan greeted Tensei Iida, who was nervously swallowing, "Ingenium, I won't disturb your treatment any longer."

When Rui En glanced casually behind him, Jilan was already gone.

Do you hate me that much...? Rui En sighed softly, refocusing his attention on the potion in front of him.

Jilan gently closed the door, leaned against the wall, and let out a long sigh.

If Rui En were to treat Tensei Iida, while the quality of the treatment couldn't be guaranteed, at least he would be able to get his legs moving again. No, perhaps more than just his legs would be able to move.

Although it may be a bit too subjective, in Jilan's view, Rui En probably sees everything as just a type of medicinal herb, only divided into usable and unusable.

This may be one of the reasons why Jilan instinctively dislikes her; her values are strikingly similar to Jilan's.

Of course, another important reason is that Jilan didn't feel any desire at all when she was staring at Rui En's hands.

Rui En is exceptionally beautiful and has a large following at school. Even Mineta and Kaminari, who have seen countless films, couldn't help but admire her looks when they saw her.

But for some reason, every time Jilan saw Rui En, she would feel a sense of wariness, physical aversion, and discomfort, emotions that Jilan herself could not control.

At this time, Jilan Jiyu were unaware that this was the uncanny valley effect.
