Mixed Blessing System

Chapter 363 Going To The Doctor's Office

When Elke finally realized how easy it was for her to escape her opponent, she realized her error in judgment. 'He was weaker than me? So he's dead now!'

Realizing this, she, who only wanted to delay her opponent while she fled to seek refuge, thought about the possible consequences and decided to return to identify her opponent.

Killing someone for self-defense was not considered a crime from the point of view of imperial laws. However, this did not mean that the dead man's family would not seek their own justice!

In this case, Elke knew that she had better identify her opponent and perhaps even loot his body to communicate to her own family about the incident.

So, in the blink of an eye, she stopped beside the motionless body of Merten, who by now was dead, with a lot of blood dripping from his nasal and mouth orifices.

She first took off his spatial ring and then the mask covering his face, promptly identifying who had attacked her.

"Merten?" She shouted without realizing it, seeing the expression of pure terror on this person's body, which was still warm.

'Why did he try to act against me? Was it because of the previous things? Or because of what Lothur did to him during the previous tournament?' She wondered but did not invest much into the matter, soon hurrying away from there to her residence.

She took Merten's body in her spatial ring so as not to risk attracting an investigation to that location, something that could lead the Baier family to her house.

With that, it did not take long for this young redhead to arrive at her father's office!

...

"Elke, what happened? Why did you come in here like that?" Sitting opposite her husband, Hilda asked upon seeing her daughter's worried and sweaty face.

Gomeric and Heinz, that trusted servant of the Becker family, looked at the young redhead, frowning their eyebrows given the nervous expression on her face.

"Merten Baier attacked me while I was coming back from the academy..." She was saying, but Gomeric did not wait for her to finish and stood up from his chair angrily.

"What? How does he have the nerve?" He said in a tone full of anger, turning red as the other two formed deadly serious expressions on their faces. "Where is he? How did this happen? I will immediately fix this!"

Elke then finished what she was talking about. "He attacked me in an alley nearby. But he's already dead."

"Dead?" Hilda got up from her seat and looked at Elke, wondering if she had done that.

Heinz then thought. 'The young lady must be stronger than him, considering Lothur crippled him in that competition... But why would she do that? Killing someone like that brat is not simple.'

Elke nodded as she threw her spatial ring with Merten's body to her mother. "He was using a formation to hide his cultivation. Because of that, I threw a poison that Lothur gave me at him, afraid that he was stronger than me. Then I ran away, but he was already dead before I noticed what happened."

"Lothur's poison?" All three muttered, readily understanding how that girl could have unwittingly killed someone who was not so much weaker than her.

The three then analyzed Merten's body inside that spatial ring, quickly noticing the damage that Lothur's poison had done to that body.

The body's chest now had a pocket of blood in place of his respiratory organs, which had completely melted away due to the action of the substance Elke had used.

The three once again marveled at Lothur's accomplishments while thanking and lamenting that such a young man had given Elke so much power.

That was an item that could eventually save or give Elke time. But it was also a powerful weapon that could kill many people and bring trouble to this family.

But they did not think about that for long since, at the end of the day, Merten had dared to act against Elke, and it was much better that he was dead than she was.

At the same time, these people's problems with the Baier family increased, with the emergence of a new grudge and reason for them to be on opposite sides.

'Baier family, huh? That is already out of bounds! How dare you people act against my daughter?' Gomeric clenched his fists tightly, already beginning to think about how to deal with this problem.

"Very well, Elke. Go rest and don't worry about this matter. We will deal with whatever happens." Hilda said as she massaged her daughter's back and asked her to leave.

"But thank Lothur for his help," Gomeric said, liking that young man even more.

...

Meanwhile, Lothur had no idea what had just happened to one of his women.

He had just entered Doctor Snee's office to look for Sofie, who could help him start his practical activities as a doctor.

"Lothur?" Doctor Snee saw that young man enter his office and smiled, remembering the things he had seen and heard over the past few days. "Haha, you were hiding very well, Lothur. I didn't think you were so strong and talented!"

Lothur saw this man and nodded in appreciation, asking immediately afterward. "Where is Sofie? I've already learned the basic medicine theory and want to start practicing alongside her."

"What?" The smile on this man's face froze after such words since only a few days had passed since Lothur received from him the theoretical materials of this profession.

At the same time, considering how long it took just to read those books and that Lothur already had three professions in which he excelled, this man could not help but find such a thing strange.

After all, would not that be an exaggeration? Before, he had thought that Lothur would learn his profession slowly. Still, after the Province Conference, Doctor Snee no longer thought it possible that this young man would find time for medicine.

So, upon hearing that, he could not help but be extremely shocked!

"Have you learned it? Do you want to practice your new knowledge?" He swallowed his saliva as he asked that young man, this time with a severe expression.

Lothur smiled and nodded. "Yes. I learned what was necessary during the Province Conference, and now I want to start the practical part. Where can I find Sofie?"

Doctor Snee was silent for a moment, shocked by Lothur's confirmation. 'Will he be able to have a fourth profession? Has he not yet shown all that he is capable of?'

This fellow considered that Lothur was not playing with his feelings and soon said. "Sofie is not here. She is treating ordinary people in a neighborhood of mortals in our city."

"If you want to find her, go to the Sardine Mouth, near the creek south of..." He promptly gave the address of where that woman should be.

After being advised by Doctor Snee, Lothur thanked him and said he would return to learn what was necessary to become a 2-star doctor.

Then he headed towards where Sofie was supposed to be!
