________________________________________________

Riyu and Mei walked calmly towards the man called Su. At this moment, the man was calmly leaning against the tree while continuing to read his book. He calmly and focused on the book he was reading. However the situation stopped when he felt someone approaching him.

When he turned his head, he saw Mei and Riyu walking together. After confirming that they really came to him he began to close his book and then said,

"Mei? It's rare to see you come to me. Do you need anything from me?"

Su said calmly.

From what Su said, he was probably familiar with or at least met Mei before. If he knew Mei well enough, it meant that he also knew that Mei rarely came alone to greet someone.

"I just wanted to say hi to you. And Riyu also wants to get to know you."

"Is that so."

Su looked at Riyu then said,

"I know. Kevin has told me everything about you."

"What did Kevin tell you?" Ryu said. He was curious about what Kevin had to say.

"He said that there was a fool who suddenly hit him and then got him into a fight."

Without changing his expression, Su calmly and fluently said it.

"That White Head, I'll definitely hit him again later."

POV Riyu

Mei and I chatted briefly with a man named Su. From what I could see, he was a calm and warm man. We chatted comfortably for some time.

As we were talking quietly, I looked at the book he was reading. I was curious enough that I asked.

"Oh, is that a medical book?"

"You know about this book?"

"Sure, I've read it."

The book is in the library of the Akahasa Family. Well, the Akahasa family library is quite complete, there are various kinds of books there. Even now, I still haven't finished reading all the books in the library.

"Do you know about Medicine?"

""A little. I just studied the basics and didn't really focus much. But I still read a lot of medical books, some of which may be rare or don't exist anywhere else. You want to read them?"

"Is that possible?"

"Of course. You are Kevin's friend which means you are also my friend. But if you want to study medicine, you have to focus on what you want to study first. By the way, what do you want to learn?

"Honkai disease."

If I'm not mistaken Honkai disease is the effect of excessive absorption of honkai energy. High-intensity honkai radiation can damage the brain, nerves, and hormones or make people without common sense.

Perhaps this disease does not spread from person to person, but with the abundance of honkai appearing and the mixing of earth energy with honkai energy makes some people susceptible to this disease. This is made worse in the absence of a cure.

Well, honkai energy may be useful, but it still comes at a price. I am quite surprised that there are still people who are willing to try to find a cure after so many people have failed to find it.

"That will be difficult."

"I know... "

Su said in a tone that was quite weak, but calm. He probably already knew that fact.

"Well, there's no need to be discouraged. Difficult does not mean impossible. And even if it's not possible, it's only because other people gave up looking for the result. As long as you don't give up there will definitely be hope."

Honkai disease huh. It reminds me of my mother. If I'm not mistaken, she once tried to find a cure, but finally gave up. It's not that he can't, it's just that she has other work. If she really intends to find the cure she can certainly find it.

Her research data can definitely be found in the Secret Room.

"Su, if you can't find the cure what are you going to do?"

"I'll keep looking for it even if it costs the rest of my life."

"Good answer. I have an offer for you."

Well I can't let my mother's hard work go to waste, right? So let's make a deal.

"??"

"Do you want to work in our family? We will provide the necessary resources to help you. Whether it's knowledge, tools or manpower, we will help you. Ah take it easy, our family is not too strict. You are free to do anything as long as it does not tarnish the good name of the family. You can also continue to work in other institutions or organizations. How?

"What is the reason?"

"If it had been before, I would have said that this was an investment. However, after learning about your goals and determination, I changed my mind. I remember that my mother had researched the disease. But he stopped because he had other research. If he really intends to find a cure, that means a cure for that disease does exist."

He probably already knew about my family from Kevin, so there was no need to explain. If he knew about my family he would know about my mother too. Well, my mother is quite well known in the research world, so there's no need to repeat.

"Is that true?"

For the first time Su looks excited. Maybe because he knew he had hope or because he was just excited about it. But I'm sure it's a first.

"Sure, I won't joke about my mother."

"What do you think? I will provide some resources for you for 4 years. If you have the results I expect then I will provide my mother's research data, how about it?"

So why do I really want him to join? It was because I had a feeling that he would be of great help. Well, his aura plays a big role too. Honestly, I was amazed by his warm aura and determined eyes. Well this is not the kind of warmth that Mei is in fashion with me, but the sincere and selfless warmth of a true doctor.

"Thanks, now at least I have some hope of curing them. But can it be like that?"

"Don't worry, I'm doing this for the good of myself and my family. And to prepare for the future as possible. I could send a few people to find the cure, but without dedication and determination it's hard."

"Can I think about this first? I'll think about this as best I can."

Well, this is natural. After all, it's not a trivial matter like "yes" then "join". With his personality, he would think this through carefully. Besides, he still doesn't know in detail about my family even though my family is quite famous.

"Good. Take the best possible time. Again, this is not a trivial matter. You can come to the MV Lab tomorrow with me and Mei to bring the book. If you have made up your mind, come to me anytime. Ah and also bring Kevin along, tell him that I took him to practice.."

"Thank you."

"Then we will go."

Mei and I stood up to leave that place.
