Exposed??

"Ouch!!" Adrian exclaimed in pain.

He woke up and found him self in a white room, he could feel various cables connected to his spine and even a drip to his right arm. His left arm was bandaged and suspended. He could also see various machines connected to his chest, his heart precisely.

"Ahhhh!!" He groaned in pain as tried to sit up.

"Don't do that, you need to rest. Your fortunate to be alive. The damage you sustained was quite intense.  Four broken ribs, thirteen bone fractures, a broken arm, a ruptured liver and a punctured heart." Nurse Joan read out of the pad on her left arm.

"You've been in coma for five days, I am glad you're alive Adrian." Mr Leo said as he and three other students entered the room. Alexis, Xi and surprisingly Ryan. It seemed Ryan had  developed some level of respect for Adrian after witnessing the battle.

"Have my injuries been healed?" Adrian asked.

"Well, most of them. Your liver and bones are now okay but, it will take a few days to  heal the hole in your heart.For now you just have to rest." Nurse Joan said.

"Mr Leo can we talk in private?" She asked.

Nurse Joan and Mr Leo left Adrian's Ward and went into the empty ward across the hallway leaving him with his classmates.

"There is something unnatural about that boy." She whispered as they both got into the empty ward across the hallway and shut the door.

"How do you mean." Mr Leo asked in confusion.

"Well you know about his injuries right? It is impossible for one to be healed in five days after sustaining such degree of damage."

"But you healed him so what is the fuss about." Mr Leo couldn't understand the point she was  trying to make.

"No...no, you don't seem to understand. His body healed itself, once I aligned his broken bones they  instantly began to heal themselves." She blurted out.

"You've gotta be joking Joan, we both know there is no way that kid would be able to heal himself, I mean look at his ratings they are far below average..."

Meanwhile In the order room Adrian could clearly hear the discussion between the two  adults despite being in an enclosed room across the hallway. Ryan and the others could not help but wonder why Adrian looked so focused as if he was eavesdropping on the conversation. They on the other hand could hear voices but none of them could make out the wordings.

Right from birth Adrian was aware of  his body's abnormalities. His hearing, sight, smell, healing, strength, speed, and stamina were  far above the average human. During his childhood, he sustained several life threatening injuries but in two to three days his body would heal itself regardless of the intensity of the injury.

His foster parents were aware of his abilities but couldn't not give the young lad an explanation to the source of his biological abnormalities. He had no choice but to carry on like that, trying his best to conceal these abilities.

"Joan, we have to keep this a secret for now, until we can truly understand what happened. If we tell the  school council, he would just become an experimental guinea pig, he would probably be dissected. How long until he is fully healed and ready to be discharged?"

"The truth is that his body recovered during  the first three days, he was just unconscious after that period. I believe the remaining days he spent in coma was just a resting period after the  initial healing process finished. But the hole in his heart is quite slow to heal, it's healing but at a very low pace compared to his bones and liver."

They finished their discussion and left for Adrian's Ward.

"Good news lad. Your not free to go." Mr Leo said as he and Nurse Joan entered the room to find the  teenagers conversing."

"How is that good news sir?" Alexis wondered.

"I'm just teasing the boy, at least to liven up the room. Well since you guys don't get my jokes, I and nurse Joan have a few documents we need to handle.

Mr Leo and Nurse Joan left the room and went to the records for a few documentation processes.

"How did you do it?" Ryan finally spoke up.

"Do what?" Adrian replied feigning ignorance.

"I mean we all saw you fighting Shaktar head on and you were shockingly winning, until he used his Iron skin. How Is that even possible? The difference in power between a rank and it's subsequent rank is high, yet you caught a punch from someone three ranks above you." Ryan blurted out.

"Yeah, I wondered same." Xi added.

"It's nothing serious, I applied specific skills to utilize his own power and momentum." Adrian lied.

"We'll see you in two days time." Alexis said not seeming convinced with Adrian's explanation.

They all stood up and left him alone in the room.

"He is lying." Adrian over heard Ryan say as they left the room.
