Voice in the back of my head

"Wake up, it's time for classes." A voice said to me. I opened my eyes and found the beautiful doctress that had treated me before. Veruca Jones.

"So we meet again my princess." I said as I smiled cheekily at her. I knew it was cringe but who cared. She smiled back at me and chuckled.

"Indeed we do, my prince." She replied. She seemed like fun. She knew to go along with flow. "You were attacked last night and I was worried sick, I did not eat and stayed by your side tending for you. I thought... I thought that you would not wake up." She made a sad face.

Aaah! Her beautiful face filled my heart with satisfaction and my brain overloaded my body with serotonin.

"Time for you to go to your classes." she said.

"Classes? I'm injured! Why do I need to go to classes?"

Veruca sighed. "I'm not going to bother asking you how you got injured as that is not part of my job. I have healed you and for a normal person it they would have to rest for the rest of the day. But since you awakened Hyoksi your healing factor has leveled up. Just a simple rest would be enough for you."

"How do you know I awakened Hyoksi?" I asked. No one could sense the Hyoksi of another person unless they released it.

"I had to do a medical scan on you to find out what's wrong, it was then when I found out that you had a Hyoksi injection. You must have done it during the weekend as on Friday you did not have any Hyoksi in your body."

That made sense. But there was something else excited me. The Hyoksi in my body had leveled up my healing factor. That was good news for me. Besides the obvious benefit of healing faster there were two other main benefits. The first of the benefits was that it would not use as much energy as before to heal a simple wound. Previously, before my healing factor had increased I would need to consume a huge amount of food just to heal myself. Even after I was healed it would still not be enough and my healing factor would use the stored fat making it harder for me to build muscle. Now, bodybuilding would be easier.

The second benefit was quite simpler. A boosted immune system. Sooner or later I would consume a creature, monster or beast and when I did, I would have to eat the meat raw and when I did I did not want any inflammation or infections.

"Anyways get out and go to class. You still have 2 hours before classes start. Go to your dorm and get ready for class or go back to sleep, I don't care."

I grumbled for a while and left the infirmary. As I walked I felt my body had changed. It was stronger. My bones felt more sturdy and my muscles were rippling with strength. Was this what a near death experience does to your body?

Ehh! I shrugged and continued on my way to my dorm.

Last night was a doozy! Those masked assailants were sent by Biloki. Of course he would. I hadn't been expecting him to a t so quickly. For young masters like him and his brother, all that mattered to them was pride. They were so prideful that they thought everything revolved around them. They could get offended by any small things.

Is this what he meant by paying the price. If that was the game that he wanted to play at then I could also play. I was very good at games.

But still though I could understand why he was angry. I had humiliated his younger brother, insulted his dead mother in front of people and had injured his brother in a duel.

Maybe I should kill him? Yes! I should kill him, no I'm going to kill him. No! What was I thinking? I slapped my cheeks and got a grip of myself. Ever since I had swallowed the first memory enhancing pill I had heard this small voice in the back of my head. I had ignored it but since I swallowed the memory enhancing pill it had only been getting stronger. I had also felt irritated at things easier. It was as if I had taken an estrogen and a testosterone tablet.

I had this feeling that I wanted to kill people just by looking at them. Just what exactly was I becoming?

I had reached the dorm. I entered and went to my room. I went to sleep after setting an alarm in an hours time. I could easily wake up in an hours time. I closed my eyes and went of to dream land.

It was 12 o'clock in the evening. I had failed to wake up in time. I heard a loud knocking at my door. I groaned and pushed myself to open the door. Whoever this was must have a good excuse for waking me up. After all, I did not interact with anyone in this entire academic to make them think that I was friendly with me, it had been the opposite.

Amelia Lionheart my dormmate stood at the door. She did not look happy to be there and neither was I. If she says something stupid hit her, the little voice in the back of my head said. I shook my head in disagreement.

"Yes?" I asked Amelia. She was standing there staring at me trying to get a good look at my room.

"You are being called by the vice principal into her office." she said.

"Thank you, I'll go to her after a while." I had said that and yet she stood there standing in front of my door.

"You can go now!" I said to her.

"Do you know where the vice principals office is?" she asked me.

"... no?"

"I was told to bring you to the office. Get dressed."
