Just a few pain relievers and a few healing potions will do,\" the doctor said, her voice a blend of professionalism and reassurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she scanned me with her magic, her expression seemed satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adjusting her glasses, she trifled with her notes for a moment before grabbing a vial with a red liquid that glowed with a golden hue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook it gently before handing it to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a high-grade healing potion mixed with honeydew butter from Leviathan honey bees, so it should go down your throat with ease,\" she said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded in understanding and accepted the vial, feeling a slight warmth from the potion. \"Thank you,\" I said, appreciating her care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, and don't forget to rest for a few more days. Your body still hasn't fully healed,\" she added, her tone firm but kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded again, taking her instructions seriously. She gave me a few more pointers on how to aid my recovery before standing up and giving me a polite goodbye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she left the room, the door closing softly behind her, I was left alone with my thoughts and the potion. I stared at the glowing liquid for a moment, the golden shimmer reflecting the sterile light of the infirmary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, here goes nothing,\" I muttered to myself before uncorking the vial and downing the potion. True to her word, it had a surprisingly pleasant taste, the honeydew butter soothing as it went down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost immediately, I felt a warm sensation spread through my body, easing the lingering pain and fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaning back against the pillow, I let out a sigh of relief. The potion was already working its magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With my body resting on the bed, I began to relax a little as I slowly came to terms with my situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you okay now, Riley?\" Seo asked, concern etched across her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes...\" I replied, though my mind was still groggy and confused from the sudden nightmare I had earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the bandages around my arms, legs, and even my chest, I realized the doctor was right-I did need more rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain began to resurface as I became more aware of my injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's good....\" Seo said with a subtle, gentle smile. Although her face remained mostly emotionless, I could tell she was very happy right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing me resting, she nodded her head and proceeded to peel the skin off an apple she was preparing for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I watched her, I couldn't help but feel grateful for her presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her calm and caring demeanor provided a sense of comfort that eased my troubled mind. She carefully sliced the apple, her movements precise and practiced, and handed me a piece. \"Here, eat this. It will help you regain your strength,\" she said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took the apple slice, savoring its sweet, crisp taste. \"Thank you, Seo. For everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook her head, a faint smile playing on her lips. \"You don't need to thank me, Riley. I'm just glad you're okay....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We sat in comfortable silence for a few moments, the weight of recent events hanging in the air. I knew I had a lot to process and many questions that needed answers, but for now, I was content to simply rest and recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seo, how long have I been here?\" I finally asked, breaking the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five days....\" she replied. \"You've been unconscious for five days. Both the professors and the doctors were really worried about you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see.... Five days, huh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I whispered to myself, trying to make sense of the time lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mind raced with unanswered questions and lingering dread. The vividness of the dream— or whatever it was-left me with an uneasy feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt more like a memory than a nightmare, and that thought alone was enough to unsettle me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It still didn't feel real at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'So I've been asleep all this time?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mind was having a hard time processing it all. I felt disoriented, my heart still beating fast as I recalled that life-ending dream... it felt so real, as if the real Liyana was actually touching, licking, and even kissing me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her scent, her touch, her voice... her everything, it all felt too real to just be a mere nightmare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did she cast a spell on me, perhaps?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that she's actually watching me right now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I don't know....'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haah... Letting out a large sigh, I crumpled down on my bed, trying to forget the stressful thoughts of my fiancé, as I proceeded to process the influx of facts and information I had\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>received.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First and foremost, the exams ended around 5-6 days ago, with Rose emerging as the top student among all first years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the incident involving Princess Snow and General Auvin, which nearly led to the cancellation of the exams, they proceeded as usual upon her request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, I found myself deeply involved in the incident. Somehow, I managed to save the princess from the ambush and rescue her from the terrorists just in the nick of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it came at a cost, resulting in the injuries I was currently nursing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirdly, I was hospitalized in critical condition, where I slipped into a deep coma for five straight days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doctors attributed my survival to a white-maned wolf, who seemingly transferred its life essence to me through some contractual vow we had made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And lastly, the academy is temporarily closed down in the aftermath of the events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The closure is expected to last for two weeks as the authorities assess the situation and ensure the safety of the students and staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I mulled over these details, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions-gratitude for surviving, guilt for the trouble I caused, and uncertainty about what lay ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reflecting on the situation, it became evident that the academy's decision to close temporarily was understandable, given Princess Snow's involvement and the gravity of the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>events that unfolded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their heightened dedication to security measures showed the seriousness with which they were addressing the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I couldn't shake the realization that my interference had caused significant deviations from the expected course of events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The premature appearance of someone like General Auvin, who was supposed to be a final act boss, highlighted the unpredictability of this world and the limitations of relying solely on my foreknowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I needed to keep in mind the changes I had introduced to the main scenarios and not rely solely on my previous knowledge of the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My existence in this world had already caused ripples, and it was foolish of me to think everything would go according to the original scenarios as long as I followed them in order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this some sort of wake-up call? If so, I rightfully deserved it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a sobering reminder that my existence in this world wasn't a guarantee of smooth sailing or adherence to preconceived scenarios.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was a wake-up call-a signal to be more cautious and adaptable, and to recognize\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the consequences of my actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In hindsight, my assumption that everything would unfold according to plan as long as I followed the established order was naive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This experience served as a humbling lesson, reminding me to approach each situation with a healthy dose of skepticism and preparedness for the unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Although I did prepare for the unexpected.... The encounter with the tempest wolf alone\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>proved otherwise'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was really worried, you know, Riley.... You were really hurt....\" Seo's voice carried a sadness\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that pierced through me, tears welling up in her eyes once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really scared us, you know. We didn't know if you were going to wake up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her display such genuine concern, despite her usually emotionless expression, tugged\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>at my heartstrings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had inadvertently caused someone to worry about me... It was a sobering realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, the events leading up to my injury were a blur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only fragmented memories remained as I tried to piece together what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While I had a general understanding of the situation, I knew there was more to it than met the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I resolved to seek a more detailed explanation from Snow when we met next time. But for now, I owed an apology to this dear friend of mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry, Seo....\" \"Mhn....\" Seo struggled to contain her tears, nodding slowly as she attempted to hide her face\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>from me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that tiny little moment, I knew the best thing to do was to let it go and not make the situation more embarrassing for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this moment, as the two of us sat quietly facing each other, it felt like a touch of peace in\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>heaven had graced us both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soft hum of the infirmary, the gentle rustle of the bed sheets, and the muted light\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>filtering through the windows created a serene atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seo, still peeling the apple with meticulous care, seemed to find solace in the simple task, and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I found comfort in her presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silence between us wasn't awkward or heavy; it was a shared, calming quiet that allowed\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>me to reflect on everything that had transpired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for being here,\" I said softly, not wanting to break the tranquility but feeling the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>need to express my gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seo looked up from the apple, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. She gave a small, almost imperceptible smile and nodded. \"Of course, Riley. I'll always be here for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're best friends Afterall~\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1597,"2026-06-03T14:40:38.925Z",1,"novelbin.me","f552aeef17888e3f4d1a9d6917df6fa16a36601b130d4ba4e3bfbd1dd29c7a8c","how-to-survive-in-the-romance-fantasy-game-chapter-62","how-to-survive-in-the-romance-fantasy-game-chapter-60",727,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhow-to-survive-in-the-romance-fantasy-game-cover.jpg"]
