Princess Fischl

Chapter 22

Despite unexpected complications and failure of some goals, everything ended not so badly. I saved two schoolchildren, managed to achieve an explosion of elements, learned a lot from Satoru's short skirmish with part of Sukuna and most importantly, I was able to become a student of the local imba!

Now I was in the hospital and was in the corridor, waiting for Sasaki and Iguchi to finish examining. Fortunately for me, the meat grinder with curses that had occurred, except for fatigue, passed rather without a trace. Not a single curse could touch me. I wonder what rank they will give me? I can't reach special, my reserves are too small, although I still count on first or pre-first.

Suddenly, the door to Sasaki's ward opened, and I immediately stood up to find out the girl's condition.

- Are you a friend of the victim? She has already woken up, you can come in. - Noticing how I was going in her direction ahead of her, the doctor said and left.

Not paying attention to how quickly the woman decided to leave, I went into the ward. In the ward, I saw a girl with a fixed arm, half-lying on a hospital bed, who, having heard the sound of the door opening, immediately turned her attention to me.

- Hello, Sasaki-senpai. - I greeted her with a smile.

- Fischl? - the girl was surprised, and then abruptly jumped up from the bed and bowed to me. - Thank you for saving us.

- Hey-hey, Sasaki, what's wrong. - I panicked from such a display of gratitude.

- If it weren't for you, Iguchi and I... - Sasaki began to say, and then burst into tears halfway through.

Seeing the crying girl bowed before me, the only thing I could think of was to simply sit her down on the bed and try to calm her down.

- It's not your fault, Sasaki. You were just a little unlucky to run into a real curse, and you're alive, and your arm will heal before the wedding. - I tried to calm the girl down, hugging her by the shoulders, but in the end she rushed into my arms and cried even louder right into my shoulder.

Not knowing what to do, I ended up just hugging her back and began to soothingly stroke her back, while going into my thoughts. - "I wonder if it doesn't hurt her at all to cuddle up to me like this with a broken arm?"

We spent about 5 minutes like this hugging until the girl finally calmed down.

- Thank you. - Sasaki said embarrassedly.

- You're welcome. - I answered with a smile, and then stood up and said. - Well, I see that everything is fine with you now, so I'll still drop by Iguchi's and I'll need to get ready to move.

- Are you leaving? – the girl was surprised.

- Yes. A little later, when you and Iguchi lost consciousness, a rather strong shaman came and I asked to become his student.

- Shaman? Exactly! So you are a shaman too? – it seemed that only now the girl realized that what I was doing then was far from normal and as a member of the occult club she clearly did not disdain superheroics and manga.

- Um... not really, to be honest, I myself am not sure what category I can be classified as, but in the near future I will become a shaman. – I answered uncertainly, because I really had no idea what to call myself, after all, in Taiwat, bearers of the eye of God were usually not classified separately as magicians and the like. Even the name witch is something like a title. Well, it doesn't matter, as I already said, I will soon be able to call myself a shaman.

- Listen, Sasaki. I understand that you were really interested in all these occult moments, and now you can also see curses, but please, if you don't want to become a shaman, who die like flies, then try to stay away from such things. I'll give you my number and if anything happens, you can almost always contact me, oh yeah, don't tell Itadori that I told you about this, but most likely he will have to become a shaman, so if you can't get through to me on this issue, then call him. - I began a little hesitantly, and then expressed my thoughts. Although in the canon she and Iguchi didn't get involved in all this, but in the canon they didn't see how they were saved, and here I showed superpowers right before their eyes.

- Don't worry, why should I try to get into battles with monsters when even my results in physical education are far from ideal. - the girl answered me with a smile.

- I'm glad. Bye. - I was sincerely glad of such a reasonable decision of the girl and headed for the exit.

- Bye.

After leaving Sasaki's ward, I went to find out about Iguchi's condition. As it turned out, he had not yet woken up, but according to the preliminary examination, he had broken ribs and most likely would have a concussion. Since he was unconscious, I saw no point in waiting any longer, I headed home. I needed to prepare things for the move, and after lunch we had a general meeting planned in front of the hospital, from where we would all go to the Tokyo College of Magic, at least me and Fushiguro, after all, Itadori still needs to bury his deceased grandfather.

Returning home, I began to collect all the necessary things in my inventory, although who am I kidding, I literally ransacked almost the entire house, even taking the furniture. And so, in an almost empty room, I, sitting in a chair, decided to pay attention to the system notifications.

[Daily quest for energy control completed, rewards received.]

[Daily quest for shooting completed, rewards received.]

[Daily quest for mastering two-handed weapons completed, rewards received.]

[Congratulations on fulfilling the conditions for unlocking the quest "new path". Attention! This quest will be available after completing the current one.]

- Oh yeah, for the journey of choice, you had to study the explosion of the elements. Eh, if not for these readers of the abyss, I would have been much better prepared before going into such a dangerous world. - I sighed heavily, seeing the new quest.

So, having quickly collected all the necessary things, I decided that there was no point in sitting at home and it was better to wait at the meeting place.
