Huaxu Academy.
"Based on various examinations, there is no abnormality in your body."
Baizhi flipped through a stack of reports in her hand, calmly analyzing:
"According to what you described, that addiction-like manifestation toward battle only started after the life-and-death fight in the Sonoro Sphere."
"This situation is similar to the psychological trauma experienced by Midnight Rangers soldiers after war, such as acute stress disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, dissociative disorder, and so on."
"These psychological traumas are generally accompanied by intense anxiety, fear, insomnia, suicidal tendencies, hysteria, etc."
Listening to Baizhi's analysis, Noah raised his hand:
"I don't have any of those symptoms. I only beco crazed and unlike myself when entering a combat state."
"Yes, so your symptoms are quite special."
"How special?"
"Unprecedented. We are preparing to na this symptom after you."
Hearing this, Noah was montarily speechless.
Baizhi closed the thick stack of reports in her hand and gave her conclusion:
"In summary, the stimulation from being between life and death was too great, causing your brain to beco extrely stressed. However, it's not a major issue."
"How to treat it?"
"The preliminary treatnt plan is—rest and recuperation. Starting with a 7-day cycle, during these seven days, you cannot casually use Resonance abilities or engage in combat."
Seven days without combat?
Noah was sowhat stunned.
What if daily quests spawned to eliminate Tacet Discords sowhere during these seven days? Would he have to abandon them outright?
One day is 800 Astrite. Seven days would be 5600 Astrite. Abandoning them all would literally pain his heart to death!
Whatever. Daily quests refresh every day anyway. His health is more important. Noah decided to follow Baizhi's dical advice first.
In the laboratory, Baizhi took out several vials of dicine from a drawer, wrote a line of elegant small characters on the blank area of the vials, and handed them to Noah:
"From my analysis, your condition is mainly a psychological issue. As long as you ntally step out of the shadow of today's battle, it won't recur."
Noah took the dicine and saw written on it: [Sleeping Agent—Take one dose orally when in abnormal state. Fall asleep in ten seconds, wake up after one hour.]
"Are there good psychologists in Jinzhou?"
"You can talk to Taoqi, but ultimately, you have to overco the psychological barrier yourself. Others can offer very little help."
Alright.
Noah nodded. With a thought, he stored the several sleeping agents in his backpack. He looked around the laboratory once more and spoke again:
"Do you have sothing that restricts the use of Resonance abilities? I want one."
To prevent himself from falling into that crazed desire to fight again and potentially troubling others, Noah actively requested a restraint.
This was not only for others' sake but also for his own.
"There is. Wait a mont."
Baizhi nodded and walked toward another area of the academy.
Noah left his seat and looked around the laboratory environnt.
This was his first ti at Huaxu Academy. Honestly, it was similar to the ga's environnt.
Taking a few steps, he arrived at a filing cabinet. The files here were sorted by heavenly stems and earthly branches.
If he rembered correctly, in the "Wei" column of the filing cabinet, there was a file belonging to Rover.
The full na was .
Following his mory, Noah stood in front of the filing cabinet, carefully searching for this file with his eyes.
Hmm? Not found?
He scanned the filing cabinet again, even extending his perception to sweep through the entire cabinet.
Indeed, there was no file on Rover.
Could it be placed in the Grand Library at City Hall?
Before Noah could ponder further, footsteps sounded from afar, gradually approaching. He quickly suppressed his curiosity and sat back in his original seat.
It was just looking around the academy without permission—why did he feel like a thief with a guilty conscience?
"This is called the Serenity Bracelet. It is used to restrain powerful criminal Resonators, suppressing the Resonance energy in their bodies. It is sotis also used to suppress overclocking."
Baizhi explained while taking out an exquisite blue bracelet. Noah casually took it and put it on.
"The Serenity Bracelet I'm giving you is special. It has a switch. You can choose to activate its ability or not at will."
Noah looked down and indeed saw a button-like switch on it. He couldn't help but feel warmth in his heart.
Although this shackle was sothing he actively requested, Baizhi had handed the control over the shackle to him. This treatnt made him feel a unique kind of respect.
Putting himself in her shoes—if there were a bomb in Jinzhou that could explode at any mont, he absolutely wouldn't feel at ease with the bomb holding its own detonator.
"You trust this much? Aren't you afraid I'll suddenly go berserk and hurt others?"
"You're not that kind of person." Baizhi said calmly, her tone full of certainty.
"You really see people clearly."
Noah smiled slightly, his mood instantly relaxing a lot.
"Alright, Doctor Baizhi, I'll head back to rest now. I won't disturb you further."
"Hm. Rember to co back for a follow-up in seven days."
"Um... about my condition, could you please not tell others? I don't want Yangyang and the others to worry."
Baizhi nodded, her tone as cool as ever: "I've always kept my mouth shut."
A cold-faced but warm-hearted person.
Noah took a deep breath, turned, and left the academy, his mind constantly turning with thoughts.
So his current situation was a psychological issu—he hadn't yet erged from the shadow of that life-and-death battle.
Noah furrowed his brows and couldn't help but start recalling.
From driving back to Jinzhou from Whining Aix's Mire, rushing through the rain to Desorock Highland's military camp, breaking through the Tacet Discord wave to enter the [Sky-Suspended Beacon Fire] domain.
Killing the Crownless, trading lives with the replica, dueling the two Calamity-class Tacet Discords—Dreamless and Hecate.
Too many things had happened today. Just thinking about it caused the frequencies in his body to uncontrollably stir, as if savoring that exhilarating battle.
Noah quickly cut off the mories, reached out, and turned on the switch of the Serenity Bracelet.
With the switch activated, he could no longer perceive the frequencies in his body. All the agitation instantly cald. He couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"As expected from sothing produced by the academy. It really works well."
To distract himself, Noah walked toward City Hall, opened his backpack, and began inventorying his possessions.
5-star characters: Rover (Spectro), 1-Constellation Jinhsi, Verina.
4-star characters: 2-Constellation Chixia, 1-Constellation Yuanwu, 1-Constellation Taoqi, 3-Constellation Danjin.
5-star weapon: Ages of Harvest.
4-star weapons: Fifth-order Fantasia Concerto *1, Molten Star Disk *2, Undying Fla *1, Dauntless Evernight *1, Overture *2, Gorgeous Movent *1.
Eh—where's my 4-star swift blade Commando of Conviction?
Noah slapped his forehead, rembering he had just dropped the sword in that naless alley.
He looked up at City Hall, now close at hand, and suddenly felt too lazy to go back specifically to retrieve it.
It's just a 4-star weapon. Perfect—the old goes, the new cos.
Having made up his mind, Noah summoned the panel and clicked on [Summon].
Target: Standard Weapon Banner—Erald of Genesis!
