" Speak then… I am waiting for your explanation."

  On the other side of the phone, Ray could see that his stepmom had calmed down a bit. Therefore, he began to explain what had just happened before.

  Of course, Ray omitted some parts, like the fact that he was the one that defeated the Big Spirit beast.

  In his explanation, Ray said that he and Agatha were lucky enough to escape, and they didn't suffer any harm.

  Ray's stepmother's expressions changed with every word Ray said.

  From worry, tense until it eventually stopped in relief.

  She was very angry that Ray didn't contact her before, but to her, the safety of Ray was her first priority.

  " Well, everything is good when you are safe. At least you know that you need to protect yourself first."

  " Of course! I'm not that stupid to-"

  " But that doesn't mean I'm not angry. Quick go home and wait for your punishment obediently."

  Along with that words, Ray's stepmother closed the call.

  Ray could only shake his head helplessly at this conduct of his new stepmother. It seems that the punishment was inevitable, and he should go home quickly.

  At least the stepmother is beautiful, Ray thought……

  On the other part of the city, Alan was currently lying motionless in the hospital bed.

  Rin's attack was a bit too heavy, and Alan's injury could be considered pretty heavy.

  " *Sigh* I'm supposed to be the protagonist of this world. So why am I lying in the hospital bed for the second time since I came into this city?"

  Since he received the sign-in system, Alan started to believe that he was a protagonist.

  His spirit beast leveled up very fast, and he gained that special ability of spirit beast fusion.

  All the things combined, and Alan was even more convinced about his conjunction.

  But the thing that made him a bit confused was the fact that he had suffered this kind of heavy injury twice under Rin's hand.

  Once might be a coincidence, but twice must mean that there was something special about Rin.

  ' Is she the villain of destiny?'

  This kind of thought had popped up in Alan's mind all day long.

  ' Nah, let's stop thinking about this. There's no way someone like Rin would be the villain of destiny. It might be because that I'm not strong enough."

  Alan quickly shook that kind of thought away. He attributed all his injury to his own weakness and decided to think about how to improve his strength.

  ' Hmm, I haven't sign-in yet today. Maybe I should try to sign in first.'

  ' System, I want to sign in now.'

  [ DING!!! Sign-in successful. Get the item: Ultimate recovery potion x2.]

  Alan's eyes glowed as he saw the reward. It was really the thing he needed the most right now.

  Without wasting any more time, Alan took out one of the recovery potions and poured it into his mouth.

  ' Ahhh~'

  The moment the potion entered Alan's body, Alan felt all his injury had been healed. He tried to move his body like normal, and it was done beautifully.

  Alan was now fully recovered.

  ' Nice, maybe I should take some stroll. Being here all day long was very boring.'

  Alan quickly stood up and left his ward. The doctor had told him that he needed to have a full rest today. But Alan was fully healthy now, and he obviously didn't need to follow the doctor's instructions.

  The only reason that he didn't just leave the hospital was that Alan was afraid that it would make a commotion and worried her sister.

  He strolled around the hospitals, explored the rooms, and sometimes chatted with other patients.

  As a protagonist, Alan's personality was pretty good, and it didn't take that long for him to make friends with other patients.

  2 hours later, Alan was just about to finish his exploration for today and returned back to his ward.

  But when he walked along the corridor, something had attracted his attention.

  In front of one of the operation rooms, a large number of soldiers and doctors were standing still as if waiting for something.

  Alan's protagonist instinct felt that there would be something important happening here, and he definitely wouldn't want to miss the fun.

  Still, Alan wouldn't be reckless until he knew what was truly going on. He waited silently in the corner while still observing the situation.

  It was only after twenty minutes that Alan knew what was happening inside.

  One of the soldiers accidentally spilled the truth when he was talking with each other. The voice itself was very low, but it wasn't any trouble for Alan, who had the protagonist's special treatment.

  His hearing was enhanced, and Alan could hear the word of the soldier like they were speaking directly in front of him.

  ' Hmm… So there is an influential figure here who was injured in a battle?'

  Alan's eyes immediately glimmered as he had an idea.

  He still had the ultimate recovery potion from before, and if he was to use this, he definitely could get the favor from the influential figure.

  With a face full of smug looks, Alan took a step forward and walked in the direction of the soldiers.

  " Brother soldier, I have a special potion in my hand. Please let me in and I will guarantee you a hundred percent full heal!"

  Yup, if Ray was here, he would definitely facepalm.

  Worthy of a protagonist, their life motto surely was:

  " If there is no trouble, then I will make a trouble myself."

  In fact, if Alan was to word it nicely, he might get be permitted to get inside.

  But because he said it like this, he would only attract hostility from the other party.

  And right, just after Alan said those words, the soldiers immediately became enraged as they thought that Alan was only joking around.

  " Kid, stop joking. We have no time to play with you!"

  " Yeah, just scram now! Our patience is limited!"
