21st Century Necromancer

Chapter 185 Spinal Resection

Since Chen Yu could exchange the heritage of the Dark Warrior and Cunning Speaker for resources, he naturally wouldn't mind spreading around various Necromancer training methods he had, let alone teaching them to his fiancée, Jounouchi Hiromi.

But how to teach his fiancée to learn spells was a somewhat scratching-his-head issue for Chen Yu.

It wasn't that he had nothing to teach, nor was it that Jounouchi Hiromi lacked the talent to become a Transcendent. For a Necromancer, physical transformation was merely the beginning.

Physical aptitude not enough? No problem, if this body isn't up to standard, I'll just swap it for one that is!

Soul talent not enough? No problem, let me perform a soul transformation for you, and you'll have all the talents!

What made Chen Yu anxious was that there was too much he could teach, and he didn't know what would be most suitable for Jounouchi Hiromi, resulting in difficulty making a choice.

Of course, this kind of thing didn't really trouble Chen Yu. After scratching his head over it for one night, he decided to first conduct a comprehensive test on his fiancée. He scheduled it after the castle and towers in the Necromantic Space were completed because, after all, she was his fiancée.

Chen Yu decided to build the Mage Tower first and then give her the most comprehensive and highest standard assessment before determining what to teach her based on Jounouchi Hiromi's condition.

According to what Jounouchi Hiromi herself said, she seemed more suited for a physical profession. After all, she had joined the rare Fencing Club during her high school days and even aimed to be an Olympic athlete. Though she was now over thirty and her physical fitness had declined, on the whole, she was still agile—something Chen Yu had already experienced firsthand with her.

Of course, although Chen Yu was thinking about how to teach Jounouchi Hiromi magic, it didn't affect his work, or to be precise, it didn't have a negative impact.

At least the doctors at the General Surgery Department of Eastern University Affiliated Hospital noticed that, after Chen Yu successfully proposed to Jounouchi Hiromi, his overall condition had improved. He not only often had a smile on his face but appeared so refreshed that his work efficiency had improved significantly.

"Doctor, can my leg be healed? And why are you always smiling? Is there something funny about me?" Dr. Higashiyama's sister was Chen Yu's patient today. Watching the doctor checking her while humming a tune and laughing, she couldn't help but feel peculiar, as if there was something wrong with her and Chen Yu was trying to hold back his laughter.

Ever since she became paralyzed in her lower limbs after the accident, her heart had grown very sensitive. Normally, if someone looked at her legs for too long, she would feel they were mocking her. Being examined like this, focusing on her legs, was something that had only happened during the accident.

Had it not been for her brother, Doctor Higashiyama, who stood by her side comforting and encouraging her, she would have probably already screamed and run away.

"Keika, don't be nervous. Professor Chen is the most skilled surgeon in our hospital when it comes to treating nerve damage. Just the other day, he performed a nerve repair surgery on a girl younger than you and cured her paralysis; he can definitely heal you," Doctor Higashiyama said as he saw his sister get nervous again. He quickly took her hand, providing encouragement and comfort.

At the same time, he turned to Chen Yu and asked, "Professor, how is my sister's leg?" Enjoy new tales from empire

Chen Yu took off the disposable latex gloves he had on and threw them into the trash bin nearby. Then, after washing his hands, he said to Doctor Higashiyama and Higashiyama Keika, "The situation is quite optimistic. Because she has been undergoing rehabilitation and exercising, the muscle atrophy isn't severe. After surgery and with more walking, she should be able to recover quickly.

As for the nerve damage, based on the recent examination, it seems to be damage to the spinal cord and the cauda equina, and the injury is quite severe. Therefore, in addition to neuroreconstruction, we may also need to remove a portion of the spine that was injured initially before reconstructing."

"Spinal removal?" Although Higashiyama Keika had a brother from the University of Tokyo Medical School, she herself didn't know much about medical matters. Hearing Chen Yu mention spinal removal made her face turn a few shades paler. "Doesn't that mean I won't be able to straighten my waist? I don't want it! Brother, let's go back!"

"Keika, stop making a fuss! Spinal removal surgery is very mature and a common operation. It is widely used in treating spinal conditions, and our hospital's technology in this area is very mature. You don't need to worry; Professor Chen can heal you!" Seeing his sister's sudden change in demeanor, Doctor Higashiyama quickly tried to calm her down, suppressing and soothing her emotions.

Doctor Higashiyama had long been used to Higashiyama Keika's emotional variability, especially since she had gradually become like this after the car accident. However, her behavior in front of Chen Yu still embarrassed him, and he inadvertently became a bit harsher with his sister.

"But he keeps laughing at me! He doesn't really want to heal me!" Higashiyama Keika pointed at Chen Yu, who had been smiling all along, causing his smile to freeze on his face.

Chen Yu's smile vanished as his expression instantly turned serious and his gaze sharpened from its previous kindness. His change in demeanor immediately frightened Higashiyama Keika, causing her to shrink back behind her brother.

"Professor, Keika didn't mean any harm!" Seeing Chen Yu's change in facial expression, Doctor Higashiyama rushed to plead with him, after all, it was for his sake that Chen Yu had agreed to help treat his sister. Now his sister had made such an accusation, and anyone would have felt upset by it.

"I am smiling because I am in a good mood. I proposed to my girlfriend successfully yesterday, so today, I am very happy. If my smile has made you unhappy and made you think I am not professional, then I apologize," Chen Yu said as he bowed to Higashiyama Keika; but when he stood up, he took on a severe tone, "But I also ask that you retract your accusation.

There may be all kinds of doctors in this world, but as long as a doctor still possesses the conscience of a medical worker, he would never not want to heal his patients. Your accusation is not only an insult to me personally but also an insult to your brother, and an insult to all doctors and other medical workers who have the conscience of healthcare providers."

Chen Yu's suddenly serious demeanor made Doctor Higashiyama somewhat surprised and embarrassed. In Japan, it is rare for patients to accuse doctors of not wanting to heal them, and likewise, it is rare for doctors to suddenly reprimand a patient so severely. This inevitably left him in an awkward position stuck between both sides.

However, Chen Yu did not seem intent on pursuing the matter further. After finishing his point, he began to discuss Higashiyama Keika's condition again with Doctor Higashiyama and Keika, which certainly relieved the two of them.
