After the royals left the arena, most of the spectators followed suit, leaving only Juin and his group behind. 

"Your leg's broken… and it's recent…" Juin said as he checked on the boy's left leg. "What happened?" 

"First Princess Iris…" the boy mumbled as he struggled to keep his weight away from the left leg. 

Suddenly, he was lifted up in the air, and this time, it was someone who lifted him up physically. Looking at Tucker's face, the little servant boy was afraid that Tucker might hurt him so he shrunk himself a little as he mumbled, "Please don't hurt me…"

"I'm not going to hurt you. What, do I look like a monster to you?" Tucker complained as his soul power to sense the boy's body to see if he was injured elsewhere. 

Tucker nodded meekly, before shaking his head. "I-I have never seen anyone with red hair…"

He then looked at Juin and said, "But I have never seen anyone with black hair either…" 

"That's cause everyone around you has blue hair… If someone were to come here unknowingly, they would think that you guys were a world full of inbreeds," Tucker said half-jokingly. He then looked at the boy in his arms. 

"Kid, you're quite a tough one, aren't you? Running that way with a broken leg. If my student here gets a broken leg, I'm sure he would have cried his head off," Tucker said gently with a smile. He took a pill out from his own Dimensional Pouch and said, "For your bravery, I'll grant you something. Eat this, it will help with the pain until we can get your bone fixed." 

The kid took the pill. He then glanced at Juin, hoping that Juin could help him with this. When Juin nodded, the kid put the pill into his mouth before gulping it down. After a few seconds, his eyes grew wider and he looked up at Tucker and said with an astonished expression, "Mister! I don't feel pain anymore! Not just my leg, but everywhere!" 

He suddenly turned pale as he asked in a whisper, "Is it expensive?" 

To his delight, Tucker merely shook his head and said, "It's not from this country, but it's cheap… Don't worry about it."

Looking at him, Lynn and Juin exchanged glances, and the former smiled as she shook her head. That pill was not just a simple painkiller, but one that would improve the speed of healing, improve one's health, and if one's soul reserve was damaged, it could help to speed up the natural healing as well. 

While not a limited edition kind of pills like the Soul Rejuvenation Pill, it was still a very expensive drug

He then looked at Lynn and said, "You can go ahead with your student. I know that you want to meet up with some of your old friends here. I'll take care of this matter. After all…" 

Tucker gave Juin a brief glance before saying, "After all, my student was the one who jumped out trying to be a hero. I need to give him some lesson about it, and it might not be good for his self-esteem if you were here to see him." 

Hearing him, Lynn could not help but chuckle and look at Juin with a wry glance. "Don't be too hard on him. It's his first time in a new world after all. I'll register you guys on your behalf, so you can just go straight to the accommodation that President Presley prepared. See you at the banquet later…" 

She then nodded at them before leaving the arena with Luca and Soren. 

Juin watched them leave before looking at Tucker, whose expression had turned solemn. "Mr. Tucker…" 

"Follow me…" Tucker said with a strict tone. They walked for a long time, leaving the arena and walking on the street, turning occasionally. The entire time, Tucker did not say anything, but his expression told Juin that he had done something wrong and that Tucker was probably trying not to shout at him in front of the wounded kid. 

After a long time, they arrived in front of what seemed to be a clinic, with all sorts of medicine-like smell wafting out of it. 

"We will have a talk once I have this kid fixed…" Tucker said, without even so much as looking back at Juin who was behind him. 

The clinic's door was wide open, and from outside, they could easily see what was happening at the waiting area. 

There was barely anyone inside the clinic saved for a male nurse with blue markings, who was tending to the counter, and a young female patient who also had blue markings who was waiting to pick her medicines.

Tucker glanced at the name of the clinic, which stated "Adelie's Clinic". He then walked into the clinic and gently placed the boy on the shell-like couch at the seating area. Once he did so, he went to the counter and said to the male nurse, "Please get the doctor to fix this boy's leg up. You can charge the bill under President Presley's name. He's the president of the Order of Supernatural Beings."

Meanwhile, while Tucker was writing, the male nurse took a glance at the boy, and when he saw the glowing color of the boy's markings, which faded in and out, he sneered and looked away; his own markings glowing in blue. 

"Our fees are high here, and that kid belongs to the slave class."

"I'm not a slave!" the boy defended himself as he glared at the nurse. "Princess Cecile said so!" 

"Look at your own markings!" the male nurse snapped at the boy. "Do you know your own rank?! Should I report you?!" 

The boy trembled slightly before lowering his head. For someone like him, who was born with a violet glow, he was automatically placed in the slave rank. It was the rule of Terre D'eau. But for him, who had been placed under Princess Cecile, if someone reported him, he might be taken away for her… or worse, he might create a lot of trouble for the princess. 

Hence, in order not to trouble the princess, with his fists clenched, he murmured as tears welled up in his eyes, "I'm sorry, sir…"

Watching that exchange, Tucker frowned. "Is this how a nurse should behave? Where's Doctor Adelie?"

The nurse looked at Tucker up and down, and then at the boys who were standing behind him quietly. He then asked in a condescending manner, "Outsiders. You are?" 

"Tucker Lee…" a voice came from behind them. 

"Sh*t!" Tucker cursed under his breath before slowly turning around. "Hi, Adelie…" 

The boys also looked at her. If the women that they had met so far were considered beautiful, this one was drop-dead gorgeous… as in she was a gorgeous woman who could kill you before you could even blink.

Her hair, which was tied up in a bun, was the color of the bright, blue sky on a summer day, and the few loose curly strands that framed her face made her look like some Korean actress.

And the boys could see that, underneath her white doctor's gown, which was left open and loose, was a very curvy body covered by a black dress with small yellow seahorses all over it. The black dress reached her knees, and from below her knee, two fair-skinned and long, lean legs could be seen.
