My Dragon System Chapter 115 – Shaken

Monk was currently lying down on the medical bed in the private room. His arms felt light and he was seeing white in his vision from the blood loss. Monk lifted his arms with the little energy he had and placed them over his chest where he had been hit.

The doctors had done a good job and had stitched up the wound. Monk didn’t quite know what happened after he entered the arena but he knew one thing, he was currently alive and well. All he wanted to do now was close his eyes and sleep. Just as Monk was about to though, he could hear a commotion going on just outside from his bed.

The bed he was in was surrounded by a white curtain to keep privacy between patients. The curtain was thin so Monk was able to see a shadow of three people on the other side of the curtain. Each of them wore a long white robe and had something held in their hand that looked like a clipboard.

“Oh, it must just be the doctors coming to check up on me.” Monk thought.

Suddenly, one of the three doctors pulled out a long thin object. Monk had no idea what it was since he could only see a shadow but he knew it was bad. The man then pushed the metal object inside the other’s stomach before taking it out and slashing the other on the neck.

Monks heart started to beat faster. Suddenly a rush of energy was coming over him, due to the scene he had just witnessed. Monk then started to pat all over his body as if he was looking for something.

“Nothing.”

Monk then realised that the doctors had completely removed his equipment. All he had on currently was a green gown that patients wore. They had even taken away his two daggers. Monk then looked around the room to see if there was anything he could use.

But all he could see was a glass of water on the table right next to him.

One of the Dark Guild members had posed as a doctor and entered the private medical room. He had just taken out two of the doctors and knew there was one patient left in the room. The man drew the curtain open to see a young teenager lying on the bed.

Monk was lying on the bed now with his eyes closed pretending to be passed out.

“Well, looks like my job just got easier.” The man said.

As the man walked over towards Monk’s side, he heard a splash sound. The man looked down and noticed his foot was in a small puddle of water.

“What the…?”

When the man looked back up again, he saw that Monk was holding a glass cup in his hand. Monk then slammed the cup as hard as he could into the man’s face. The strike was so powerful the glass shattered on impact causing pieces of glass to be jammed in just underneath the skin.

The man screamed in pain as he rolled around the floor.

“I’ll kill you!”

Monk then quickly grabbed the largest piece of glass shard that he could find and jammed it into the side of the man’s neck. Blood squirted out from the side and the man’s eyes slowly started to close.

Monk’s clothes were covered in blood and his hands were shaking like crazy. Eventually, Monk dropped the piece of glass onto the floor and looked at all the dead bodies around him.

Monk had never killed another human being before and this was his first time. He was in shock at looking at the lifeless bodies around them. Just seconds ago, they were fully moving and had lives of their own but now they would never see another day again.

Just then, the door to the private medical room slammed open and in came rushing in Slyvia, Martha and Gary.

“MONK!” Martha shouted.

Martha paid little attention to the bodies in the room and went straight over to Monk. She could see that Monk had so much blood over his hands and clothes and was afraid that he might have been hurt.

As Martha went to check if Monk was okay, she could feel his body shaking. Monk was slowly mumbling out words.

“I killed him… I really killed him…”

She immediately gave Monk a tight hug.

“It’s okay Monk, it’s not your fault. It’s okay Monk.”

Tears started to roll down Monk’s face. It was a different feeling…killing another human compared to killing a beast. It felt more personal. At 16 years old, it was hard for Monk to take on this burden.

Gary had quickly gone around the room and gathered Monk’s belongings.

“Get changed into these quick,” Gary said as he handed over the items.

Monk then moved to another bed, one that was less bloody and drew the curtain as he quickly got changed.

“We have to move quickly!” Slyvia said.

The four of them then exited the private room into a hallway. The hallway only led to one direction which was the medical bay which they had come from. They had no choice but to head back.

The whole medical facility was built directly underneath the arena. There was no chance of escaping apart from heading back up to the arena. To do that, they would have to exit out of the private medical area, into the large medical bay. In the medical bay, there was then a single double-door that led to the surface. From there, they could either enter the city or head back to the fighting arena.

When the four of them entered the medical bay, everything in their body was telling them to turn back and run. The sight in front of them looked impossible to survive.

Currently, 100 zombie-like students had all turned their heads and faced towards them as soon as they entered the room. The sight was frightening to look at. Each student had a look of bloodl.u.s.t in their eyes as they stared at the four of them.

“What the hell is happening?” Monk asked.
