15 minutes!

Yan slowly opened his eyes and looked at the blood taker beside him who was staring at him.

'Not him again.'

Yan turned his head to the other side.

"Where am I?" [Yan]

Yan asked.

"Martial Union branch of Zone 7." [Blood taker]

The blood taker answered.

"How did I get here?" [Yan]

"An emergency signal was sent by your Martial Card to the nearby Martial Masters." [Blood taker]

"A passing by Martial student who was here for a vacation dropped you here." [Blood taker]

"Okay." [Yan]

"You have been healed already so you can get up and pay the bill." [Blood taker]

Yan looked at him and then asked.

"How much is it?" [Yan]

"1 million yuan." [Blood taker]

"...." [Yan]

"....?" [Yan]

"1 million yuan." [Blood taker]

"Generally a Martial student like you had five free chances of treatment and hospitalization and a 30% off on medicines till the time of your 3rd year but..." [Blood taker]

"After a small investigation on how you got injured lead us to the fact that you sat on the railing of your balcony by yourself and you didn't follow the manual on the Martial cultivation that was sent to you in your utility belt." [Blood taker]

"So after a little bit of consideration, it was decided that it was a foolish event and hence no discounts and martial students privileges were to be taken into consideration for this specific incident." [Blood taker]

"You also have to pay for the disturbance in the other Martial Master's lives that was caused by your unneeded emergency signal. 400000 fine for that." [Blood taker]

"You are a Martial student with the potential to be a Martial Master. Please uphold yourself better before the general public." [Blood taker]

"To the public, Martial Masters can slit rivers and lift mountains. You do realise just how shameful it would have been if a Martial student was proved to have died from falling from his balcony due to his stupidity. Next time, don't do that." [Blood taker]

"And why don't you read the manuals properly?" [Blood taker]

"... Just kill me instead. I don't have any money. Even the compensation that I got from the government for the death of my whole family was just 500,000 yuan." [Yan]

Yan nonchalantly replied. His will to live had diminished when he heard about the total amount of hospital bills that he had to pay.

"We know that already. Your Martial card had already declined due to it and we have taken your monetary condition in our consideration as well." [Blood taker]

"Hence we asked your university for a loan on your name and they had transferred it to your card. Now pay it." [Blood taker]

Blood taker casually said that and stood beside Yan quietly.

"Ohh. Okay."

Yan weakly said. The money was already in his account. The loan shark was standing beside him. Yan was lying down with his weak human body.

The chance to say no never existed to begin with.

"Good. Here transfer it to the Martial Union acc." [Blood taker]

Blood taker took out his Martial card and put it in front of Yan's eyes.

"I just have to think about sending the money to your account and confirm it two times." [Yan]

"Yeah. I told you earlier. Your card is the only bank account that you will ever need and transferring money through Martial card is the easiest. Just get the account number or martial card of the person you want to transfer money and you can do it with your mind." [Blood taker]

Blood taker let the card float in front of Yan and explained again.

"Did you not pay any attention to my words?" [Blood taker]

He asked.

"I did. I also read the complete guide on data gem and Martial card. No one told me about the things in the utility belt though." [Yan]

Yan replied in a silent manner.

"Didn't you get a page that said, 'Use the data gem linked Martial Master's ID card to activate the utility belt. Check its functions in the ID card.' " [Blood taker]

Blood taker asked.

"I did." [Yan]

Yan responded.

"Then why didn't you do as it said?" [Blood taker]

Blood taker asked again.

"I forgot." [Yan]

Yan replied.

"Hmm, the people who have martial talent all have better mental abilities due to their stronger souls. So was it that you forgot or you just decided to do it later on?" [Blood taker]

Blood taker asked. His tone like that of an adult finding about the mistakes of the young.

"I decided to postpone it for later." [Yan]

Yan replied while looking at the ceiling.

"What time is it?" [Yan]

"8 am." [Blood taker]

Yan changed the subject. The Blood taker followed as well.

"So it's been nearly a day that I have been asleep." [Yan]

Yan asked.

"No, just fifteen minutes have passed since you fall down the balcony." [Blood taker]

"..."

Yan slowly turned his head and met Blood taker's calm black eyes. He stared into them for a full minute before checking the date into his Martial card and then his cell.

Sunday 21.

"How much injury did I have?" [Yan]

Yan asked.

"Broken spine, ribs and bones and fractured skull. Your body is quite weak even compared to normal humans"

The Blood taker answered.

"Where am I?" [Yan]

"In the Martial Union branch of Zone 7. You previously came here on Friday."

"... How did I get here?" [Yan]

"A martial student on his vacation responded to the signals from your card and left you here." [Yan]

"How much time has passed?" [Yan]

"15 minutes 59 seconds since you got the injury. Didn't I say your card keeps a record of your health conditions, just check it." [Blood taker]

"... How did I... Who healed me?"

Yan asked while shaking his head. Things were not making any sense at the end.

"I did." [Blood taker]

"..." [Yan]

"Okay. How do I get back?" [Yan]

Yan became silent and chose not to say anything. He needed time to digest the the current event.

"Didn't I say, well let's not do it again. Just book a soul cab through your Martial card. It will take you to your home in 8 minutes." [Blood taker]

Blood taker said.

"By the way, you took a loan from the academy so you have to check in two months earlier to become an errand boy for the academy. You still need to pay the loan and academic loans are paid through services to the academy."

"You are quite weak so it will be the lowest of the low menial labour but you will be able to pay off your loan in an year by doing that."

"If you want to pay the loan faster, increase your strength and take the bigger but better paying tasks and you could even clear your loan in an hour. Depends on you."

"Don't do stupid stuff again. Read the manual properly and appreciate your life."

Blood taker said quite a lot of things and then disappeared from Yan sight.

"Show off."

Yan concentrated his mind and booked a soul cab for himself while getting up from the bed and leaving for the exit.

He was lying on the lounge, he looked at the receptionist who smiled at him from her desk.

A minute later, his soul cab arrived and he left the Martial Union branch of Zone 7.

'No one told me that Martial Masters are capable of these kinds of feats.'

' A person who delivered me to 620 kilometres away from my home in under 15 minutes.'

'I person who could heal my body in under 15 minutes. There's not even blood. He even changed my clothes in that time as well!'

'lastly, where are the clothes that I previously wore?'

Yan finally let his mind be free.

'I couldn't be that detached from world, am I? Do everyone else know about all this stuff? Is that why they never stopped their jealousy to show on their faces.'

'Am I really that special?'

'Or is it just that person who can do that. And that student as well.'

'Blood taker said that this can will take me home in 8 minutes. It took me 6 hours to get there previously.'

'So we can say that the student must have used this to deliver me to the hospital. Okay.'

"So I am not in a wuxia but a Xianxia world. Intere- "

"Your stop is here."

Yan mumbling was halted by the words of the driver.

He looked at the driver and then opened the gate to find himself beneath his apartment. He looked back and saw nothing but he was sure that his other hand was touching the gate of the vehicle.

"Only high level martial apprentice and above can see the camouflaged state of the soul cab."

The driver responded and flew away.

Yan still couldn't see him.

So I could see it when I want to board because he is letting me see it. Now I can't because he isn't letting me.

I should go to sleep.

He pondered over the tech and went towards his apartment.

Nothing had changed in the apartment. It was still morning and his stomach growled.

"I forgot to buy something to eat. Should I order it?"

He thought while looking for the belt that was sent by the Shen Hai University.

According to the Blood taker, it was an important item and had the things that he lacked.

He found it and put it around his waist.

"I have to link my data gem embedded card to use it. What am I, Kamen Rider?"

Yan linked his Martial card to the utility belt and realised the usage of the belt.

It was a storage device with a 2x1m storage space. It was filled with some documents and a bottle of pills.

"Spirit Cleansing Pills."

The pills were the cultivation nourishment pills that made soul branding smoother and it was also used as cultivation pills by the martial practitioner's in the beginning stages.

It was the gift for the new comers for joining Shen Hai University.

"So that's why."

Yan looked at the balcony and wondered.

If he had taken the pills, he could have enjoyed the morning view properly.

Not much time has passed though.
