Novel Full Chapter 991 Recovery
Chapter 991 Recovery
When Emery opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in a room of about nine square meters that was completely white. Before he could do anything else, a synthetic voice immediately rang out, greeting him.
“Welcome passengers, you are aboard the recovery ship, designated Hope. Please wait while we confirm your conditions and credentials.”
Immediately after, several beams of red light shot towards Emery, seemingly scanning his body, before the synthetic sound once again rang out.
“Identity confirmed. Privileged acolyte 83192008 – Emery Ambrose. Status: Healthy.”
A moment later, Emery noticed movement in the corner of his eye and saw the walls of the room open, revealing what looked like a drawer. Once again, the synthetic voice rang out, telling him what to do.
“Please put your suit and devices in the drawer, and while in this vessel, please put on the clothes that have been prepared for you. Thank you for your cooperation.”
Emery did as he was asked. He took off the combat suit and devices given at the start of the mid-test before walking over to the drawer and opening it. Grabbing the prepared clothes, he put the neatly folded suit and device in the drawer and closed it.
“Please wait patiently while we process the collected spirit energy.”
Upon hearing that, it occurred to Emery – a realization. The vessel he was currently aboard, the recovery ship, did not merely perform medical recovery. It also performed the recovery of spirit energy that had been gathered from the mission, which in his case, the mid-test.
Before long another notification came. This time, it came from the symbol in his palm.
[Congratulation, all points has been submitted]
[Personal Points Ranking]
[Rank 15: 880,274 points]
[Bonus points and reward will be announced shortly]
Emery looked at his rank and nodded his head as if he had expected it. He had not fought many Abyss creatures in the past 24 hours, as he had spent most of his time and effort casting the Spatial Gate. So it’s no wonder that his rankings have dropped.
However, there was not the slightest trace of regret on Emery’s face for he had done the best he could and made the most out of everything.
While Emery was busy with his thoughts, the door of the white room he was in opened. He exited the room when he realized it, and saw a long corridor with many doors – all colored white.
There were several other people who had also just come out of their rooms, and the first familiar face Emery saw was the half-machine acolyte, Atlas. He quickly walked over and tapped the latter’s shoulder, causing him to turn his head.
“Good to see you, Atlas. I’m really glad that you are alright.” Emery said as he scanned the half-machine acolyte from top to bottom. He was happy when he saw that there didn’t seem to be any serious injuries. After all, the half-machine acolyte did make such a grand performance before his exit, and that it shouldn’t be easy for him to survive from it.
On the other hand, Atlas replied in his usual level tone. “It was nothing but a calculated risk. Your worries are unnecessary.”
Emery just patted Atlas on the shoulder hearing such a response. The two of them walked together and as Atlas had arrived a few hours earlier, he started showing the place for him where Emery began to see more familiar faces.
He also reunited with Klea and the others, and together they made their way to the medical bay, as Emery worried about those who were grievously injured during the mid-test. There, they found Orion, who was watching the tube in which his brother Orycon was being treated with great care.
“How is he?” Emery asked as he arrived beside Orion.
“His injuries are serious, but he will be fine.” He said while looking at his brother’s body again. “It should only take a day or two for him to fully recover.”
“That’s great news.” Emery replied, patting Orion on the shoulder. He then turned his attention to his surroundings.
Currently, the medical bay was filled with approximately 100 patients, and about two dozen of them were in the same or worse condition as Orycon. Seeing the traces of the pitiful state these people were in, Emery couldn’t help but clench his fists.
Emery found Trish and many familiar faces being treated, and thankfully their treatments all seemed to be going well as they all appeared fine. Apparently, the combat suit given to them was really a lifesaver.
Unfortunately for Emery, the happiness he felt didn’t manage to last long when Annara showed up, bringing with her some bad news.
“Rufus really didn’t make it is he?” He said as he saw the red-haired girl nodding her head saying, “Another talented halfblood is gone. What a shame”
Emery didn’t know Rufus that well, but he still decided to check the room where they put his body, or rather, all the bodies that died in the mid-test. Other than finding Vida who was crying in front of what appeared to be the Tiger Bloodline’s body, there were at least three dozen bodies covered with silver coverings.
It was quite an emotional sight, seeing those who fought with him lay wordlessly with no more life in them. It was at this moment that a thought popped into Emery’s mind, and he couldn’t help but want to give it a try.
Emery went to one of the corpses and stuck out his hand.
[Rebirth]
“Please let there be a miracle…. please” Emery muttered under his breath.
He tried his best to understand the essence of the spell, in order for it to take effect.
“Please… let this work”
However, nothing. There was no reaction at all.
Emery heaved another deep sigh, although he had somewhat expected this.
After all, there was a massive difference between knowing the spell and understanding the spell. Only when one reached the latter would the spell successfully take effect. It was only natural that he, who was basically a rookie in Light element, would find it extremely difficult to successfully cast such a high-tier spell like [Rebirth].
“No!! No!! No!! No!”
Emery’s unusual actions caused confusion to his companions and those who saw him. Klea approached and hugged him from behind, softly whispering, “You already did your best, Emery. It’s enough.. You’ve already done enough…”
Emery held her hands that were embracing his body, and quietly closed his eyes.
***
Not long after, everyone was called to gather. All that remained of the 900 or so were summoned to a certain living quarters on the vessel, where a female magus dressed in academy uniform accompanied by several figures of the Magus Alliance introduced herself. Her name was Rosy, and she immediately began explaining afterwards.
It turned out that the recovery ship was prepared as an emergency backup for the mid-test, and the preparation seemed to pay off well as in the case with the Andora mission, the existence of the vessel was very much needed.
Magus Rosy then explained about what went wrong with the mission. To most of the acolytes, this was something that they didn’t expect, but to Emery it was nothing that he didn’t know. The last words she spoke, however, surprised him so much that he jerked his head in her direction.
“The Iliad Faction, which is in charge of Andora planet, has come and collected the Primordial Wisp. They also stated that they would be responsible for any damage you all received.”
The words immediately elicited a wave of loud cheers amongst the acolytes as it could only mean more reward. However, Emery was fixated on the news that the Primordial Wisp was captured.
Unknowingly, Emery threw his gaze towards Jinkan who was standing far from him, together with the other Nephilim. She seemed to notice his gaze, but she only smiled before her voice was heard in Emery’s mind.
“They lied. They won’t admit that they lost it. Well, at least they must have caught the little ones.”
Emery calmed down when he heard Jinkan’s words. He somewhat believed her words, that it was most likely that the offspring who was caught, and he somewhat had the feeling that the Wisp was still roaming free.
Magus Rosy cut off Emery’s train of thought when she brought out a screen showing a video of a familiar figure.
Headmaster Delbrand
“Dear acolytes, the academy and the alliance would give out our congratulation on you finishing the mission and also our condolence for your loss, for our loss”
The man continued his words with affirmation and encouragement for all the efforts they had given. He also hoped that the test they had just gone through would prepare them for the long future.
“Once again, congratulations acolytes.”
Afterward, Headmaster Dreysden’s figure disappeared from the screen, replaced by a list of ranks and reward given.

When the result came up and bared to see for everyone, all the Nephilims were cheering as they saw their brightest genius’s name at the top. Their reactions were as if they had managed to break a new record or something.
As for Platoon 3, the fifty thousand points given to Emery must be the last batch of survivors who were left behind and were saved by the Iliad ship, hence it was counted as those of Platoon 3.
Although they had somewhat expected such an outcome, seeing the stark contrast between them still gave a bitter taste to those belonging to Platoon 3.
At this point everyone expected the announcement to end, but they were once again surprised when suddenly there was another list shown on the screen.
[Distinguished Service rewards]

[All members – 500,000 points]
The so-called Distinguished Service rewards were so unexpected that it brought countless surprises to everyone present. Its arrival was followed by a complete silence, until a sound of applause broke the atmosphere.
Everyone turned their heads towards the source of the applause, and the culprit who was standing still in the corner shocked everyone who saw him. It was the Dragon bloodline Zach, and before long everyone else followed suit.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Within seconds, the room was filled with applause of acknowledgement.
