As Professor Zia walked to the lectern, I was about to lean forward and pick up my pencil to pretend to take notes when a sudden pain coursed through my body.
Leaning fully back on my chair, I immediately ced my hand on my chest, the area of the pain, removing my feet from the ground.
With nothing to hold me back, my chair fully tipped over, causing both me and it to swiftly fall to the ground.
But.. that wasn''t my worry.
"AH SHIT, WHAT IS THAT."
Ignoring my descent to the other ground, I clenched the corrupted bandage that was covering my wound with a pained expression.
*CRASH*
As the chair and I collided with the ground behind us, causing a loud sound to echo throughout the silent ssroom, I lifted up my shirt and forcefully ripped off my corrupted bandage.
I had used corruption to patch my wounds before, so why was it hurtling like hell right now?
As my pain receptors red, sending shocks of pain throughout my entire body, I nced downward at my revealed stomach and the wound on it.
...the wound was the same as it wasst time.
The exact same.
Losing my focus as more pain flooded through my entire body, I yelped, once again sending another sound through the empty room.
"AHHH"
After cing one hand on my wound to stop further blood from leaking out, I pulled down my shirt and managed to gather enough energy to look up.
Both Han and Jin were looking at me with surprised faces and through the gaps in the chairs and desks, I could see Professor Zia also looked at me oddly.
Feeling another surge of pain iing, I screamed out.
"I NEED TO USE THE RESTROOM!"
Staring at me slumped over on the ground, Professor Zia sighed before loudly replying.
"Next time, use your break-time for things like this... but I''ll allow it this time."
I thanked Professor Zia internally for being one of the few teachers who actually cared about their students, and I gathered enough energy to raise my hand.
Taking my raised hand, Jin pulled me up from the floor, and after a couple of seconds, I was able to bnce by myself.
With one hand still under my shirt, blocking the blood from overflowing, I awkwardly walked down the steps, trying my best to act normal.
However, the other children in the ssroom, of course, began to specte.
"Did he piss himself!?"
"Is he faking to get out of ss!?"
"Did he piss himself, so he could skip ss!?"
"...why is there a blood mark on his shirt?"
"wait... is he on his period!?"
...really, that''s the conclusion that the top students and future heroes of the world came to after looking at me!?
Shaking my head, I tried my best to ignore all the whispers by simply looking down at the floor as I neared the exit.
Sliding open the door, I didn''t nce back but immediately sprinted towards the bathroom.
Reaching the bathroom, I immediately pulled up my shirt and took another nce at my wound using the mirror.
"...it''s the same?"
The severity and size of the wound were the same as they had been when I exited the forest.
This, in itself, was, of course, not surprising as there was no way my wound could heal that fast... but why was I feeling the pain now?
Did my adrenaline wear off!?
Grabbing some tissues, I removed my hand, which was covered in blood by now, and tried my best to clean it up.
After putting in some water, I forced myself through the pain to reattach the corrupted bandage I had put on it earlier.
Exhausted and in pain, I leaned against the sink and raised my hand.
If there was anything that could exin this phenomenon, it was my system.

Wiping the blood off my hand with water, I stared at my Dragon''s blood ability, which was no longer filled with "???"
"...so I just have adrenaline, but itsts longer, now?"
Staring at thest few "???" by dragon''s blood, I began wiping the water off my hands with some paper towels.
"It definitely has to be rted to how my blood melted the ice spear...but why is it still ??? If I figured it out?"
Feeling the pain levels decrease, I took onest nce at my system menu before walking out of the bathroom.
It wasn''t like I wanted to go back to ss, but it was just... I had nowhere else to go.
However, as I emerged from the bathroom, I saw a familiar figure with long silver-white hair leaning against the wall.
Heading towards the ssroom, I said as I walked by her.
"Come to apologize for that?"
Not moving from her spot on the wall, Alya hesitated before muttering out.
"w-why did you try to help me during the fight? N-none of this would have happened if you just dodged."
Stooping in my tracks, I turned back and said.
"Do I need a reason?"
Looking at the looming ssroom door a bit further down the hall and imagining what I would hear when I came back, I sighed and walked back to Alya.
"Ready to do something about Zach, now?"
