BXBX NOVEL Chapter 6: Encounter With Celestial Heirs
In the next instant, his head jerked to the side as he heard the sound of footsteps approaching.
CLINK.
In the next moment, the door was pulled open, and a figure walked in, finding Nolan sitting on his bed.
"You\'re awake?" That was the first thing she asked the petrified-looking Nolan.
Right now, Nolan wanted to scream out his lungs at the anomaly before him, but the memories of the person being one of the numerous Celestial Heirs stopped him.
She was a lady with green-colored skin, green-colored eyes, and green-colored hair reaching her back.
She wore a white lab coat over a smart-looking and luxuriously made t-shirt and trousers, and she had spectacles on her face along with a pen and a book.
Behind her, Nolan could see the dangling green tail, making his heart chill within himself, but he quickly forced down his urge to run and responded calmly.
"Yes, I am fine, doctor. Thank you very much for saving my life," he said.
Emerald, of course, noticed Nolan\'s strange behavior and his seemingly petrified state as he looked at her.
She could hear how hard his heart was thumping and see the sweat dripping down the back of his neck.
That made her pause and look at him intensely for a while.
\'Was he thinking I would try to harm him too? Poor guy,\' she thought.
"Now that you\'re feeling okay, I\'m afraid you\'ll have to resume classes. You\'ve been absent for 7 days now..."
\'I\'ve been unconscious for seven days!? Guess I really did take quite the beating...\' To the additional info, he knew she was just being polite and requesting him to leave the hospital.
"Very well then. Is there some fee I am required to pay?" Nolan asked as he rose and gently weaved past her, with a smile on his face.
"No, you don\'t have to. The academy pays for everything," Emerald responded.
\'Not like you can, anyway...\'
"Okay then. See you around, doctor. Hopefully, I\'m not here anytime soon to bother you again. Hahaha..." Nolan said with a half-hearted smile before quickly scurrying off from the monster.
Left alone in the room, Emerald stood there with a raised eyebrow.
"Is that really Nolan, the trash? He looks...different from how they described him? Smiling and being humorous. Maybe he got hit in the head too hard this time."

On exiting the door, Nolan navigated through the various hallways before finally exiting the passageway.
In front of him was an extra-large lobby filled only with staff who were all just chatting.
The hospital had no scene of people being wheeled around or any patients of that kind. It was almost completely deserted.
But searching in his memories, he realized the reason for that.
The Academy Hospital was made for the students only.
They were all Celestial Heirs, capable of healing any wounds within minutes, and grievous ones might only require a short nap before fading away completely.
They all had natural regeneration due to their divine essence and could therefore heal any wounds.
The only anomaly was Nolan, and therefore he had also become the regular customer of the hospital.
It was hilarious yet ironic at the same time.
The staff only gave him one look before removing their eyes and continuing their conversation, and Nolan also continued to the exit.
He quickly opened the heavy glass door after much exertion and finally left the confines.
\'Damn, who makes a hospital door so damn heavy...\' he grumbled in his head before turning to look at his surroundings.
His jaw simply dropped to the ground at the sight.
Right now, he felt like he was an ant in a world of gods.
Before him were extremely large structures that could rival skyscrapers in pure size and height.
Some of the buildings were made from pure jade, while some gigantic ones were made from pure gold.
The various buildings had strange designs, some shaped like various animals, while others had various symbols and extra-large statues integrated into the building itself.
It was an embodiment of otherworldly luxury with jaw-dropping design.
Right now, he felt he was in an ancient world, yet one thousands of times more developed than the one he previously lived in.
"Beaten so hard you are amazed by the buildings, eh, Nolan? Just what the hell did Quinn even do to you this time, Hahahahahaha," the laugh rang out as Nolan turned his head to the side where a trio could be seen jesting at him as they walked over.
Nolan\'s heart, against his control, suddenly began spiraling, a sign he took as fear.
But the strange thing was he himself wasn\'t afraid.
In such a scenario, he could only guess that it was his body\'s natural reaction anytime he was approached.
The previous Nolan was very weak at heart, but that was more than understandable.
"Or maybe there is some certain type of beauty to every structure that is quite dazzling to the eyes, aye?" Nolan responded back as soon as they arrived before him, turning to look at another structure designed in the shape of a raven about to take off.
"Huh?" A slight sound left Alfred\'s lips, finding it more than surprising that the trash dared respond back to him and wasn\'t pleading for mercy yet.
He was about to grab him when Nolan turned his head to the other person beside him and asked.
"What do you think, eh?" he asked, pointing to the extra gigantic gold structure that towered above the other structures in the place.
The structure was so big it dwarfed others, arresting attention, and the same could be said of Jayden\'s, who also turned to look at the structure.
"Quite magnificent, I think. It\'s a Greek structure, after all..." Jayden unconsciously replied, but his eyes also narrowed in the next instant.
Did Nolan just ask him a question, and he felt interested enough to answer!?
"Whatever," a louder voice boomed out as the one in the middle, a young man of 2 meters in pure height and with a muscle that would put an earth\'s bodybuilder to shame came to stand a few inches before Nolan, before his large hands moved and clasped tightly on his shoulder.
