Chapter 75 Rushing To The Infirmary, Injured Sirius
Academy Infirmary,
“Sigh! We do not have any more tranquilizers left. Call for the backup tranquilizers”, The nurse said as she rubbed her forehead.
It was a hard night for all the workers at the infirmary.
As for why?
The reason was simple, today was a full moon and the Academy was filled with people who had wolf-based systems. Some were actual werewolves while some had similarities to them.
But that wasn’t the hard part, the academy had to handle such situations every full moon.
No, the hard part was the fact that some group of students had purposefully targeted these students who had wolf-based systems.
Thus, leading to fights and brawls all over the academy. Many students were brought in injured, some fainted while some had various degrees of injuries.
These students were still manageable, but the ones to cause real headaches to the nurses at the infirmary were the wolves.
It was known that the nurses rarely had any fighting capabilities to speak of, not to mention containing raging wolves or half wolves who had gone mad due to the influence caused by the moon.
Also, the fact that these students were even empowered by the moon to a certain extent. Therefore, the nurses had to take help from other instructors to hold down the students until they sedate them enough to calm them down.
All was fine until the number of wolves brought in from raging to harming other students increased exponentially. To the extent that all of the tranquilizers at the infirmary got used up.
“Mam, do you have any idea why it’s so hectic today and why there are so many injured too”, a probationary nurse asked the head nurse.
“No idea why such strange things are happening today, from the injured students to the mad wolves. Not to say the fact that some senior students have also been missing since evening”, the head nurse answered.
“But, don’t worry. I contacted the higher management and they told me that the dean himself has taken action. Therefore, we will get our answer by morning”, The head nurse further consoled the probationary nurse.
Just after the head nurse said those words, a group of students came rushing in.
“Emergency, get out of the way. Injured wolf under the severe effect of the moon. On the precipice of losing consciousness”, a student in front shouted out loud as he made everyone aware of the situation at hand.
The student had done wonders with his words as right after everyone heard the student’s words, they gave way and an opening was made in the haphazard clinical ward.
The group of students rushed further into the infirmary.
On the other hand, the head nurse rushed in too. Seeing the head nurse rush in, the probationary nurse followed behind.
But that wasn’t all, the probationary nurse had a confused look on her face. After all, she hadn’t seen the head nurse rush in to treat a wolf like that even when a raging wolf was brought in a few hours back.
Thus, the probationary nurse followed in closely. Trying to know what made the head nurse rush in such a hurry.
“For how much time has he been in that state”, The head nurse asked Tim.
“About 50 to 55 minutes. We had to carry him all the way from the forest. Not to mention his wounds and the perpetrators following us all that time”, Tim spoke as he recounted their journey back from the forest.
“Mam, do you have any sedative injections or any tranquilizers on hand? I don’t think he has enough time before he gives in to his instincts”, Ray spoke up as he knew time was running out and Tim was going to take quite some time before he got to the point.
“Lay him on the bed, we will inject some sedatives first. We have called in for a new batch of tranquilizers. Until then, the sedatives should keep him stable. During this period, we will treat his wounds and try to replenish some of his lost energy”, The head nurse spoke out as she rushed into her office to get some medicine for Sirius.
As the head nurse rushed into her office, Ray took Sirius who was above his shoulder, and placed him on the medical bed.
“Grrr!”, Sirius kept making bestial growls while his face continuously changed from that of a human to that of a werewolf.
Not only that, a few moments ago, his canines had elongated permanently while for every second that passed, his body turned more into that of a wolf than a human.
His state implied that time was running out and it wouldn’t be long before Sirius gave into his bestial urges and turned toward anyone besides him for a snack.
“Hey, Asna. What are you looking at, come here and help me fill the syringes”, The head nurse shouted at top of her lungs as she called out to the probationary nurse to help her fill the syringes.
“Yes mam, coming”, the probationary nurse complied with her order without any questions.
Well, that was what her job asked of her. To heed the orders of her superiors without asking any questions, specifically in situations where a patient needed to be tended to.
Therefore, she suppressed her curiosity and got to work.
Meanwhile, Ray and the others didn’t waste a second as they started to strap Sirius to the bed in case something went wrong.
All of this was done with perfect teamwork and control with the most efficient method too. As though, the ones who strapped Sirius weren’t some freshmen but rather skilled professionals.
Well, it was to be expected as all of what was to be done was planned on the way and briefed to everyone. As for the one who planned all of this, it was naturally Ray who did so.
The moment Ray and everyone left the search radius of John and his goons, Ray told everyone of every single action to be done to save the most time and to also pull all the attention to Sirius to avoid any issues that could occur on the way.
Even the words that Tim spoke when they entered the infirmary were scripted by Ray. As for why Ray didn’t speak, there were reasons for that too, but Ray kept them to himself.
“Okay, now hold him down. Don’t let him move. The first injection will cause a violent reaction. So, hold him down tightly so the second injection could be given, and let me tell you, kids, both injections are very important and I don’t want this to go wrong leading to a wolf using my nurses to satiate his hunger”, the head nurse spoke as she warned Ray and the others.
Ray and the others merely nodded as they knew the consequences if they failed to contain Sirius. Therefore, they didn’t take the head nurse’s words lightly and did their work seriously.
“Okay, here it goes”, the head nurse spoke as she inserted the needle right into Sirius’s chest.
“Arghhhhh”,
Just as the needle penetrated his chest, Sirius’s eyes snapped wide open as he let out a blood-curdling scream. His eyes turned a deep shade of yellow as his body started to transform.
“The second syringe. Fast!”, the head nurse spoke as she took the second syringe from her assistant’s hand.
On the other hand, Tim used his system to buff himself and held down Sirius’s legs while both girls held down his hands. Noah, also did his part as he used his spiritual energy to make spiritual chains to close Sirius’s snout and he held onto his head.
As for Ray, he held down Sirius’s torso with his hands while his eyes had lightning swirling within them Ray continuously churned his mana and prepared himself to shock Sirius until he fainted to avoid any casualties.
But it wasn’t needed as the head nurse quickly inserted the second needle into Sirius’s chest.
“Done”, she heaved as she sighed in relief seeing Sirius’s struggle end while his body transformed back into that of a human.
With that, Sirius fainted again.
“This will keep him out until the tranquilizers arrive. Now, you lot tell me, what exactly happened to him to be in this condition”, The head nurse asked as she tapped her foot and crossed her arms.
