After doing my job as a doctor with a great sense of responsibility, I returned to my dorm and continued living my daily life.

For the next few days, I expected some reaction from the Academy Authority for beating Thiago. But to my surprise, nothing happened!

'It looks like that poor guy didn't have any proper evidence to prove it. Well, I didn't hold back my lightning while beating. So there should be no sign of injury. Even the Silva family can't sue me for healing someone, right?

As I thought of Thiago's misery, I couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahahahahaha."

But Jacob's voice interrupted my heartfelt laughter.

"Umm, Aryan. Did you step into the evil path or something?"

"Why would you think that?"

"You were laughing like a villain who is trying really hard to scare some kids."

His joking tone denied his serious expression.

"And, why would a villain need to scare kids?''

Jacob choked as I asked.

''How would I know? Maybe it's for Evergreen Night's business purposes?"

"Oh, it's a possibility too. Do kids even watch these theater shows?"

''Yeah, they do. Not everyone is like you- cultivates all night, attends classes all day, and then passes the food bill to your roommate."

I ignored his sharp-accurate remarks as I was helpless in these cases. My cultivation speed was slower than others for some god-forsaken reason which my family forbade me to discuss with others. And dad didn't give me money to buy enough resources. I was also red-marked by my instructor. If I were to show any signs of slackness, it would ruin my academic life.

"Whatever, did I really look like one?'

Jacob nodded.

'Villain, huh. Well, what I did to Thiago was pretty much like a villain would do.'

My conversation with Jacob ended in my silence that day.

And, days then passed by as they should.

However, one day, Jacob came with his injured body to the healing department. He was supposed to be treated by Jana. To my dismay- he showed my 'free service voucher' to everyone in the department and asked me to heal him. I gave him that sh*t jocularly as I would heal him even without this.

But, he showed it to others and asked me to heal him!

'Does he think I am some kind of godly healer? A paper with Aryan's sign can make others bend the rule and send him to my door. We of the healing department earn contribution points by healing patients. And everyone had a weekly quota to fulfill. Who would be generous enough to pass the contribution points to others?'

And miraculously, Jana passed Jacob to me. Well, she didn't forget to multiply my discomfort.

''I didn't know he had our Doctor Aryan's special vouchers. If only I had known, I wouldn't dare to touch your precious patient.''

It was so embarrassing that I wanted to give him 'The Upgraded Masochist Edition Treatment' but ended up treating him gently. He was my roommate and my precious food bank, after all.

But from that day, Jacob invited me to KFC more so often for my vouchers.

"Why do you even need so many vouchers? Are you treated as a punching bag in your department? Care to explain? "

Jacob replied disdainfully, "You will never know my pain, so why bother explaining? Just give me my voucher as future deposits."

"Sure," even though I was curious, I gave him my 'Voucher' in exchange for delicious meals. I mean, who wouldn't do such an exchange?

Yet, I was lightning struck when I saw Emma come to me with my voucher to get my 'healing service'. It was clear one day that she came to make fun of me with that piece of paper. And Emma wasn't the only one. I started seeing more of my vouchers in the department.

"Bastard, what have you done…." I cursed him in my mind.

And that's how the reputation of my healing service and voucher started spreading even in the other departments.

And my title "Jewel of Healing Department," "The lone male in the Paradise," also became known. There were even rumors about my Masculinity! And sadly, I couldn't even do anything about their blabbering. A single male student was accepted into the Healing department after more than 300 years. Who would think of it as a normal situation?

Aside from gaining some popularity as a healer and slander as the sole male healer in the academy- my days in the academy became repetitive and boring. Attending classes, treating new injured students, sparing with Erica, everything became too usual. I even began to suspect that I was studying in a battle academy.

'Why is my life so calm and peaceful? Didn't mom say there will be a lot of competition? I have to fight other monsters from various backgrounds for resources. Is this calm before the storm? Or I can't feel it because I am from a department with a specific duty?.'

Whatever, I will deal with it when the storm comes. I left future problems to my future self. But soon, my conjecture about the storm became true.

Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!

A loud glass knocking sound rang late at night. This sudden knocking sound made me confused.

"Who the f*ck pranks others at such late night?''

Jacob, who was cultivating wholeheartedly, shouted and went to open the window.

Swoosh!

A pitch-black Owl entered the room in the dark night like the Dark knight. We didn't even see it through the glass as it melted into the darkness of night. It was half as tall as Jacob, had glowing red eyes, black-shiny horn-like feathers on both sides of its head, Long sharp talons like eagles. But a funny face to look at as its eyes were frontal like humans. This was a bizarre combination for a predatory bird.

Jacob exclaimed, "Ah, a messenger bird."

Messenger birds are, just like the name said. They are elemental birds used for sending messages.

After living with other elemental creatures for so many years, Humans have also succeeded in taming some wild bird species along with many other elemental beasts. These birds had a great sense of direction. Most importantly, they were intelligent creatures who didn't easily give themselves to their instincts and attack humans. But, being more intelligent wasn't a remarkable trait in the jungle. You will become prey to faster, stronger, or more adaptable predators no matter how big your brain is.

So, these creatures used humans as their protectors, while humans used them for various tasks. Creating a win-win situation for both sides.

This Night Owl was a nocturnal-carnivore species. Members of this species were also swift and could camouflage due to their dark element and shadow property. That's why these cool yet funny-looking creatures were more popular as scouts in the military. But, freaking Krieger Academy used Night Owls as messengers!

Do they even know of this guy's value?

The bird carried a small bamboo container with it. As it delivered the container, the Night owl looked at us intensely. We were confused.

'You delivered what you should have. What are you waiting for?'

But his gaze reminded me of myself when I looked at Jacob.

As if I understood the gaze, I took out some beef I saved up for later uses and passed it on. The owl vanished with the meat in an instant while Jacob had his jaw dropped,

"How did you know that it was asking for food?"

"Don't ask." I could only give him a cold response.

Getting no answer about my miraculous Beast Communication skill, Jacob opened the lit, and a paper slip came out. I also looked at it with a curious look. What could the academy send us at such late night? It must be important.

I looked at the paper and, on it was written -

"JUSTICE"
