-: ‘NISHA, thank God you're here. I was told you weren't here.’ Tamayo expressed his joy at seeing his friend and knew that Izumo was in good hands.

-: ‘TAMAYO, the chief guard was right, it was a close call and I would have already left, luckily your sergeant and my intern arrived in time,’ said Nisha.

- ‘Step aside, let me see and examine this man,’ ordered Nisha.

- ‘Hmm, his jaw has been perforated by a laser, but at least he's not in any great danger. It seems he sustained this injury more than two hours ago, which has allowed the infection to progress.’ She touched Izumo's jaw while shining a torch on the area and looked at his wound.

‘It's been three hours since the Draugr attacked us, and it took us that long to get here and cross the border while stopping his bleeding,’ replied Tamayo.

-: ‘I know it's not my job, Tamayo, but why leave this young recruit on the front line to face a JENGU? Given the extent of his injuries, it's clear he was no match for it,’ Nisha questioned her on a more personal level

. ‘It's not his fault, Doctor. IZUMO was the one who eliminated the JENGU. He just wanted to save the lives of the Colonel and the other members.’ Arima pleaded on behalf of the Colonel

-: ‘He's right. Without his intervention, I wouldn't even be here anymore, NISHA,’ added the Colonel.

-: ‘Habon? You can be proud of your recruits.’

-: ‘That's why I want you to do everything you can to save this boy. I owe him my life.’

-: ‘All right, I'll save him.’ Nisha also felt indebted to Izumo, the man who had also risked his life to save her friend and the other men.

-: ‘Please, ma'am, we made a promise to each other, especially since Sergeant LIDE has already left us because of that monster,’ Arima pleaded, unaware that announcing LIDE's death would have other repercussions.

-NISHA and NANABA: "LIDE is dead? So he was the second soldier to succumb? ‘

-: ’Shut up, ARIMA, this is not the time. Tamayo wanted to interrupt him by scolding Arima

- I didn't want to hide it from you, even if all this comes at a bad time, we have to accept this reality and save this boy. Tamayo apologised to Nisha for Lide's death

-: "This is not the time to procrastinate. " replied Nisha, who was beginning to feel close to Lide's story, especially after everything Amanda had told her and Nanaba, but she told herself that she couldn't let Izumo die like Lide, and that one death was already too many. "

*At the same time, IZUMO's arcane energy began to escape from his body, leaving him in agony from the pain it caused him.

‘What's happening to him? What's going on?’ asked Tamayo, wanting to know what was happening to Izumo all of a sudden.

NISHA: ‘The magic in his body is disrupted, the infection is starting to eat away at him, and his heart rate is only accelerating.’ Nisha replied as she put on her gloves.

‘What?’ ‘

’There's no time to explain everything. I have to take him to the operating theatre. There isn't enough equipment here, and I need another doctor as soon as possible,‘ replied Nisha.

’Normally, it should take between 20 and 30 hours. This isn't normal," said Dr Nisha, surprised.

* Without even giving them time to rest, a second later, blood spurted from Izumo's chest, which had been pierced from the inside, leaving him in such pain that it could be felt through his loud cry. Everyone was surprised and frightened by this.

Tamayo, Nozel, Arima, and Nanaba were shaken by what they had just seen, but only Dr Nisha regained her composure and activated her medical suit.

‘Get away from him, get out of here, nurse, go alert the hospital that we have a level 04 infected patient,’ Nisha ordered.

‘Yes, Doctor,’ replied the nurses.

‘An emergency infection suit? Nisha, what's going on with the boy?’

‘His infection level has reached stage 04. I'm also trying to understand what's happening to him in such a short time,’ she replied to Tamayo.

- ‘Stage 04 in such a short time? This stage already requires us to put this hospital under quarantine.’ Nanaba's words did little to reassure the colonel, his apprentices, and everyone else on site.

‘Damn it, we have to act quickly. NOZEL, order the immediate evacuation of this building. NISHA, I'm coming with you to the operating theatre. I won't leave this kid alone.’ TAMAYO didn't need to be a doctor to understand what was happening, and he didn't want to leave Nisha alone to face the biggest problem he had brought upon her, one that could also cost her her life if things went wrong.

- ‘I'm coming with you, Colonel. I won't leave my friend alone.’ Arima asked Colonel Tamayo for authorisation.

- ‘All right, kid. Let's go. Nozel, I'll leave the rest to you.’

- ‘At your command, Chief,’ said Nozel.

- ‘Start with the delivery rooms and the neonatal units, the little ones, because they will be the most vulnerable along with the elderly, but give priority to the newborns.’ These were the last orders that the colonel gave to his sergeant.

- ‘At your command, sir.’ ‘

- ’NISHA, let's go to the operating theatre,‘ said Tamayo

*Suddenly, a man joined them, calling Dr Nisha by her name. He seemed to know her, and given the situation in the hospital, he appeared to be part of the hospital staff

- ’Dr NISHA, I think we should go."

- ‘Dr. SOON, you came? I thought you had already gone home. Didn't you want to leave the hospital? Because the patient is already at stage 04 of his infection,’ warned Dr. Nisha, even though she was glad not to be alone and to have another specialist with her in this situation.

- "When they saw the nurse arrive, the doctors didn't want to come, saying that you were there, and they all refused, saying they were busy and had important appointments with patients. When the level 4 infection alert was sounded in the hospital, they all fled. And I couldn't just leave a friend alone like that." She revealed the truth about Dr Nisha's colleagues, who despised and envied her.

‘Thank you very much. I knew I could trust you, and I don't have time to deal with these vultures who don't respect their oaths to the detriment of their egos and interests,’ Nisha replied to Dr. Soon, expressing her extreme gratitude.

" Far from the baseness of mind of others, this level 04 infection, once neglected, could cost the capital and thousands of innocent human lives dearly. ‘ reassured Dr. Soon

. ’Right, I'll take care of the internal organs, and you, Nisha, take care of the circulation of his organs.‘

’But he won't be able to hold on. He'll die long before that from the pain, and that's without anaesthesia, Soon," insisted Nisha

‘Don't worry, I noticed that he's a soldier in the coalition army, which means he's already undergone the mutation, so he's not going to succumb to a few scalpel cuts,’ Dr. Soon reassured her.

‘Yes, I forgot,’ replied Nisha.

- ‘Colonel, help us move his bed to the operating theatre. With your mutation, you'll be able to hold on even without a suit to protect you and your soldiers from contamination,’ asked Dr. Soon.

- ‘Yes, don't worry, even Arima will be able to hold on for as long as it takes, and the bed is already ready, DOCTOR,’ replied Tamayo.

- " You're quick, Colonel. I like that," complimented Dr. Soon

*In the hospital corridor, heading towards the operating theatre.

-DR SOON: He's opened his eyes. We'll have to be quick. Give him more adrenaline.

-NISHA: I'm already injecting him.

- IZUMO was muttering to himself while looking at the ceiling of the corridor, and given the atmosphere, no one was going to understand what he was saying

-: ‘Keep giving him oxygen, his pulse is getting weaker and weaker,’ insisted Doctor Soon.

-NISHA: ‘It's already been done, and he's losing too much blood. Stay with us, soldier.’

-DR SOON: ‘Then stop the bleeding.’

-TAMAYO: ‘Hey, kid, don't give up, keep fighting, everything will be fine. IZUMO, I forbid you to die.’ ‘

-ARIMA: ’My friend, if you die, I'll kill you. You have no right to leave me alone. I don't want to win this rivalry this way. We were going to eat our favourite dish afterwards, remember?"

Arriving at the operating theatre.

-DR SOON: ‘You mustn't follow us, Colonel. Leave us alone.’

-TAMAYO: ‘Do everything in your power to save this man. I've lost enough children today.’

-DR SOON: ‘Sir, you're getting in the way. We'll do everything we can to keep him alive.’

- ‘His infection keeps spreading. Bring the syringe. I want you to put him in a coma.’

*IZUMO is still muttering, and suddenly his heart stops beating and his pulse stops.

-NANABA: ‘We're trying to revive him.’

-NISHA: ‘I can't feel his heart anymore, it's stopped beating!’

-DR SOON: Neither can I, and all the arcane magic has left him and his body

*Nisha, surprised: SOON!

- DR SOON: What?

*On the other side, the colonel had sent NOZEL to rescue the patients by evacuating them from the hospital. Running down the stairs, he saw someone coming up the stairs heading towards the neonatal ward...

- : ‘AMANDA, is that you?’ asked Noezl, who was surprised to see her, as he was a colleague of Amanda's late fiancé.

- ‘NOZEL, you're here? What are you doing here and why don't I see any doctors? I just heard the alarm go off and quickly ran to the neonatal ward,’ replied Amanda, who was happy to see Nozel by her side, especially in such a situation.

- ‘You did the right thing, even if it was reckless of you and dangerous for your health. Have you given birth yet? How is your baby in the neonatal ward?’ Nozel asked her with concern.

"No, I already evacuated her and took her to the ambulance, but since everyone was fleeing the hospital, I saw three women who had given birth three days before me telling the police and evacuation officers outside that their babies were still inside in the neonatal ward, so I decided to help them. I'm a mother, so I know how it feels," replied Amanda, determined to see her rescue through.

- ‘That's completely reckless and insane of you, Amanda. We're going to save these children. I've finished the evacuation on my side, and my colleague must surely have finished evacuating the elderly men and women.’

- ‘Where is the neonatal ward?’

- ‘On the left on the second floor. Let's go.’ ‘ Amanda said, determined to follow him.

- ’No, don't come. Wait for me outside. I've undergone a mutation, so I can withstand this infection, but you can't, especially not in your condition after giving birth. ‘

- ’No, I'll feel better when I'm outside with these children, having brought them out and returned them to their mothers. Even though I'm not in the military like you, Nozel, I did military training, and that's where I met Lide.

-: ‘Habon? I think you're not leaving me any choice.’ Nozel had no choice but to accept Amanda's challenge, as she was really tough, and to go with her.

-: ‘Yes, and let's not waste any time, NOZEL.’

* A few seconds later, arriving in front of the neonatal ward.

-AMANDA: ‘It's locked. You need a card to open it.’

-: ‘We don't have time for formalities.’

*NOZEL cut the door in two with such finesse that he looked like a surgeon with his scalpel. He noticed that the room was so dark that neither of them could see each other's silhouettes.

- ‘It's so dark in here, I hope the electricity is still working,’ Nozel wondered, feeling a sense of foreboding.

*The next second, he saw the room light up and it was AMANDA who had pressed the switch.

- ‘So it was you who turned on the light?’ ‘ Nozel wondered how Amanda had managed to find her way around in the dark

-: ’Yes, and now we just have to retrieve the children from the three mothers.‘

-: ’There are several cribs, about twenty I'd say.‘ Nozel realised when he noticed the total number of cribs after the lights came back on

-: ’ Since it hasn't been long since they gave birth, they should be at the back of the room.‘

’There, I just found a baby here,‘ said Nozel with joy on his lips

’I just found two more," said Amanda.

‘Luckily, I think that's it,’ said Nozel to himself, ‘even though I've had a bad feeling since I entered this room.’ ‘Let's get the three mothers together and give them their babies back.’ ‘

’Wait, Nozel, isn't Lide with you? Aren't you in the same squad? He would have been very useful here with this infection," asked Amanda.
