21st Century Necromancer

"Clang!" "Ah!"

A sharp clatter of a sword dropping to the ground, along with a pained scream, signaled the end of the duel between Shimoe Akiha and Kojo Kyoko.

"We agreed on one hand, but since you couldn't bring yourself to do it properly, I helped you out," said Kojo Kyoko, looking at Shimoe Akiha lying on the ground clutching his shoulder wound, her face emotionless, as though what she had chopped off was merely a chicken leg and not an arm.

Seeing this scene, Imahon Okuyama quickly rushed over to press down on the wound on Shimoe Akiha's shoulder, while also feeling some dissatisfaction with Kojo Kyoko.

But he understood that swords have no eyes, and since they had started off with real swords, the consequences were to be accepted without complaints, especially since the loss of the arm was the agreed-upon price for Shimoe Akiha's defeat.

"Don't worry, I specifically avoided the bone when I chopped. If you go to the hospital now, you should be able to reattach it." Shaking the blood off her blade, Kojo Kyoko sheathed her sword and, while walking out, said to Imahon Okuyama, "Uncle Okuyama, if you don't know a suitable surgeon, I suggest you go to Eastern University Affiliated Hospital and find Professor Chen Yu from General Surgery. He's very skilled at surgery, and he can help reattach the arm."

Hearing Kojo Kyoko's words, Imahon Okuyama felt an intense sense of absurdity.

Just as he was about to utter some pleasantries, Kyuuzai Ryousen seized the moment to add, "Kyoko-san, didn't I tell you that the Professor already left for China yesterday?"

After speaking, Kyuuzai Ryousen then addressed Imahon Okuyama and Shimoe Akiha, who he was supporting, "Please rest assured, I will contact an ambulance for you two right away and make sure that Mr. Shimoe is sent to a suitable hospital to have his hand reattached. And don't worry about the costs, our Mingyue Society will cover them."

These words from Kyuuzai Ryousen immediately infuriated Shimoe Akiha, and, with rage compounding the pain of his arm, he fainted on the spot.

"Akiha-kun! Akiha-kun!" Imahon Okuyama, seeing Shimoe Akiha faint, urgently called out his name.

"Arnold, can I ask you a question? Who was that female doctor just now to you, Mr. Chen Yu? She seemed rather familiar with you," said Jounouchi Hiromi, sitting in the car and watching Chen Yu drive. She leaned her arm against the car door and twirled her lips with a finger, asking seemingly casually.

Hearing Jounouchi Hiromi's feigned nonchalance, Chen Yu couldn't help but chuckle and gave her a glance.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed by Chen Yu's laughter and gaze, Jounouchi Hiromi turned away in a huff, but still argued forcefully, "Can't I show a bit of concern? You are the man who proposed to me, and as your fiancée, isn't it okay for me to take an interest in the people you know?"

"Of course, you can," Chen Yu said with a smile, shaking his head. He wasn't annoyed by Jounouchi Hiromi's jealousy; in fact, he found it somewhat endearing. Still, he explained to her, "That female doctor is called Zhu Yiting. She was my classmate from primary school to high school, and we've been deskmates since the fourth grade of primary school. Her influence was one of the reasons I thought about becoming a doctor to facilitate my study of necromancy."@@novelbin@@

"Then you and she must have been…" Jounouchi Hiromi, upon hearing Chen Yu's explanation, suddenly looked at him anxiously. A potential ex-girlfriend and childhood sweetheart like that was very dangerous.

"I had feelings for her once; there is nothing to hide." Chen Yu was quite frank about this matter, "In my second year of high school, I had already acquired the 'Multiverse Universal Necromancy Spell Compendium' and caught a ghost. Leveraging the negative energy that ghost brought, I became a necromancer. Feeling I was already out of the ordinary, I took the opportunity to confess to her, but as expected, she rejected me."

"Eh? She didn't change seats in her senior year of high school, did she?" Jounouchi Hiromi was very surprised to hear that Chen Yu was rejected, and she felt a twinge of dissatisfaction.

"She didn't completely reject me; at that time, she said she wanted to focus on her studies because she aimed to become a doctor and was targeting a very famous medical school in our province. So she told me that if I could also get accepted into that medical school, she would be my girlfriend," Chen Yu recalled the time when he confessed to Zhu Yiting on the way home from school. A look of reminiscence crossed his face.

Seeing the smile on Chen Yu's face, Jounouchi Hiromi's dissatisfaction grew stronger, and she couldn't help but say jealously, "So you pursued medicine because of her? Then you two didn't end up together in college? By the looks of her, she doesn't seem like your ex-girlfriend, huh~!"

"Because she never was," Chen Yu said somewhat helplessly, shaking his head before sighing and continuing, "She got accepted into the prestigious medical school she wanted, while I, due to my poor grades, was only admitted into an ordinary medical university. Speaking of which, you met my third aunt last time, Hiromi. It was her who helped me get in through internal enrollment. How could I possibly compare to someone who got into a top medical school on her own merit?

Those stories of a boy, motivated by the desire to be with the girl he loves, striving hard and ending up attending the same university to eventually win her over, only appear in shojo manga, right? The real world is quite cruel."

"Eh?" Jounouchi Hiromi was truly shocked now. Although she had imagined all sorts of scenarios, she had never expected that Chen Yu would end up not attending the same university as Zhu Yiting.

"Eh, what? Hiromi, don't underestimate that woman; from a young age she aimed to be a strong woman," Chen Yu said with a chuckle, shaking his head as if to sigh at his past self for ever liking such a woman, "It's strange now that I think about it; why did I confess to her back then and thought she was so great? She wasn't as pretty as you, nor as gentle, and her cooking was terrible…I wonder why I confessed and even thought well of her?"

"Who knows such things!" Jounouchi Hiromi, her face flushing with Chen Yu's words, turned away, not wanting to look at him anymore.

"o(*￣︶￣*)o Right, who knows?" Chen Yu echoed, teasingly glancing at Jounouchi Hiromi and then continued, "Oh, by the way, accompany me to the reunion tonight, Hiromi. And use my phone to call my parents; we won't be coming home for dinner."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Got it," Jounouchi Hiromi resignedly answered, picking up the phone Chen Yu had left in the car, and dialed his family's number.
