Chapter 314: Chapter 314

 

Professor Kapur lay on the ground, while the effects of all three different substances took effect on her body. She did not know who the two figures were, but she knew full well what they tried to do: they thought that the medicines left by Caroline and Jason was somewhat poisonous, and they fed her a mixture of these medicines with their own poison, which would act as the actual substance that kills her, while the traces of Caroline and Jason’s medicine in her body would be evidence pointing to the two audit students who came here asking for help.

 

“Dammit...” Professor Kapur extended her hand at her crushed wheelchair, and tried to activate the actual distress signal - but since her whole wheelchair was heavily damaged, she did not know whether the signal was sent out successfully or not.

 

Some sort of intense and shocking pain started striking her in waves - it was like somebody was electrocuting her repeatedly by flipping the power switch. Even her legs, that had been paralyzed for years, were giving her a feeling as if someone was cutting into the skin and flesh with hundreds of tiny knives and making her bleed.

 

“Tony, Glenda, Dorothea - Josephine, whoever’s there - help me - ” Professor Kapur struggled and cried for help in a barely audible voice to the crushed wheelchair.

 

And when she finally succumbed to the pain, the weariness and the fatigue, two individuals, a man and a woman busted into her office.

 

“Professor!” the man was Tony Barnes.

 

“She looks poisoned, let me take a look.” the woman was Glenda Grimes, and as she held Professor Kapur in her arms, she examined the condition of Professor Kapur with a spell cast through light green magical energy: “Yeah, she was poisoned with some kind of neural toxin. I can’t tell what it is - and there’s, well some kind of medicine counteracting it.”

 

“Neural toxins are Professor Higgs’ specialty. But he’s still on sabbatical.” Professor Barnes shook his head: “I’ll call Dorothea, she should’ve got the distress signal just like us.”

 

“So should Josephine Wong, call her next and tell her to find that special friend of hers for help.” Glenda Grimes took out a small transparent glass bottle: “I’ll try to help her stabilize, but we’re gonna need to get her to the hospital. What happened here?”

 

“Some kind of fight.” Professor Barnes took out a magical device that looked like a medallion and called out to it: “Dorothea Clarkson, come to Professor Kapur’s office this instant. We have a situation. Dorothea Clarkson, come ...”

 

“I’m here.” with a flash of silvery blue light, Professor Dorothea Clarkson appeared right out of Professor Kapur’s office: “What happened?”

 

“Professor got attacked and poisoned.” Glenda Grimes looked at Professor Dorothea Clarkson and said: “Some kind of neural toxin, but I’m not able to tell what it is.”

 

“Let me see.” Professor Dorothea Clarkson rushed to Professor Kapur’s side and pushed Glenda Grimes to the side. After examining Professor Kapur’s pulses, eyes, ears and tongue, she nodded: “It’s high concentration Kandera Wyvern toxin, this is some pretty sneaky and highly restricted shit. She’s taken some sort of general purpose antidote, which slowed down the toxin effect and bought her some time. But we gotta send her to the hospital and put her on intense watch.”

 

“Kandera Wyvern toxin?” Professor Barnes frowned: “How the hell - there’s no way things like that got sneaked into the academy without raising some kind of alarm.”

 

“Guess that secret investigation of yours hasn’t found out much huh?” Professor Dorothea Clarkson scoffed as she carved a pattern on Professor Kapur’s forehead and both shoulders with a sharp dagger, then she recited a short spell which made the three patterns light up in light red, and Professor Kapur started bleeding from those patterns: “Alright, let’s bring her to the hospital, this should buy her more time.”

Only very few people were authorized to create portals that could fit more than one people in the academy. But all three of them, Professor Barnes, Professor Dorothea Clarkson and senior researcher Glenda Grimes were all authorized. So they instantly created a portal that led to the academy hospital.

 

It was not that long a time between them handing off Professor Kapur to the healers and doctors, and one of the healers coming out and telling all three of them to come into the room per Professor Kapur’s request.

 

“Professor, what the hell?” when they came into the room, which was protected by an obscuration spell, and saw that Professor Kapur was already sitting on her bed looking at them with a smile, Professor Dorothea Clarkson asked with a heightened voice: “How have you woken up so fast?”

 

“A combination of the antitoxin serum we have, the general purpose antidote she had ingested before coming here, and some kind of very potent healing potion she took with the antidote.” the healer on the side answered: “It was quite close, but she was able to pull through.”

 

“How are you feeling?” Professor Barnes sat down by the bed and asked.

 

“All kinds of pain.” Professor Kapur responded with a wry smile: “On my legs.”

 

“How did that happen?” Glenda Grimes looked at Professor Dorothea Clarkson, who was just as surprised as she was.

 

“Kandera Wyvern toxin acting with the over potent healing potion brought into my office by two students.” Professor Kapur coughed: “One destroys the central nervous system, one rebuilds it. And what do you get? Nerve replacement. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to try that.”

 

“And who attacked you?” Professor Barnes asked.

 

“That’s something I would like to talk to you about.” Professor Kapur said to the healer: “Jasmine, can you make sure the obscuration spell is fully in place?”

 

“It is.”

 

“Okay. Thank you.” Professor Kapur nodded at three of her students, and she held up a phone to her side: “And just to let you know, Josephine is here with us as well.”

 

“Hi folks. ” Josephine Wong’s face appeared on the screen, who looked tired and a bit ill: “Thank you very much for being there. My deepest apologies for not being able to come.”

 

“It’s okay, Josephine.” Professor Kapur coughed again and said: “But be ready to hear what I’m about to tell you. And we may need to make some preparations.”
