"Ahh The steps were so high that he couldn't see how far he was from the ground, so he had to hold his head in one hand and keep scratching at the ground with the other to slow down as much as possible.

Luckily, although the steps were high, they were divided into two parts, and there was a step that was particularly wide halfway through, like a platform, which kept him from falling all the way to the bottom. And now it's almost the middle of September, and the weather is getting cooler, so he wears thicker, and his clothes play a lot of protective role.

But even that would be enough to choke. Although his head was not bleeding, he also fell to the ground, unable to move.

Alan lay on the ground for a while, and found that there were many places on his body that were bruised, but fortunately, they were only some external injuries, his consciousness was still clear, and he felt fine, so he congratulated himself on his luck while holding his hands on the floor and trying to get up. But just as he tried to stand up, a stabbing pain came from his left foot, causing him to squat on the ground again.

"Hiss......" Alan took a breath of cool air, gritted his teeth in pain, and instantly covered his left foot and didn't dare to move. After a while, he tried to move his left foot again, but found that there was no force at all, and there were bursts of intense pain, very similar to the time he was injured when he was a child, if not worse, and he realized the seriousness of the problem: "It's terrible, should it be...... Fractured......"

His heart fluttered, pain and tension made beads of sweat the size of beans begin to pop up on his forehead, and as far as the eye could see, there was silence around him, and there was no one for him to call for help.

"How do I get back to my room...... There is also tomorrow's class...... Do you want to crawl back from here?" A sense of helplessness slowly grew in Allen's mind, and he sighed heavily, "It would be nice if Rare came with me......"

But then, by the light that came out of the library, he caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a man standing in the place where he had fallen, staring at him.

It's like walking in the desert, there is no water to drink but suddenly sees an oasis, Allen's heart is instantly filled with hope, and he excitedly raises his hand to shout for help.

But he was stunned when he wanted to call for help, rubbed his eyes, and stared at the figure carefully.

Although he has his back to the light and can't see his face, he has a tall and strong physique, and he likes to fold his arms in front of his chest when he stands still, with a slightly condescending posture...... Is it Frey?

"Could it be him...... Did he deliberately push me down just now?" Alan panicked in his heart, his eyes widened, and he swallowed back the words that had already come to his lips.

He knew Frey hated him now, but he didn't expect to be allowed to do this.

There were sweat dripping down his eyes again, and Alan quickly wiped it with his sleeve. But less than ten seconds later, when he looked at the position again, he found that the figure had disappeared.

"Alas...... It seems that it is really him......" Alan lowered his head and sighed heavily, "He won't help me......"

At this time, I saw that the library suddenly darkened, and the lights on the first and second floors were all extinguished at the same time. It was the signal that the clock was about to strike nine o'clock.

It seems that the figure just now is the last person.

The helplessness and panic in Allen's heart slowly began to turn into despair, and he realized that he might have to sit on this cold stone floor all night on such a cold night.

"When! When......"

Sure enough, five minutes later, the clock struck nine o'clock, which meant that even if he climbed back now, he would be faced with a locked door.

Since he was above the path between the library and the auditorium, although the wind was not too strong, it was constantly blowing, and it quickly took all the heat from his body. Now he's cold and thirsty, and he's supposed to be talking to Riel while drinking hot milk.

Alan had no choice but to carefully climb a few steps to the side of the steps, leaning his back against the steps to make himself more comfortable. But after all, he had been busy all day today, and it didn't take long for him to feel a wave of sleepiness hit him, and his head began to feel a little groggy. But he knew in his heart that he couldn't fall asleep, and if he slept in such a place, the next day there might be a situation that would be more difficult to deal with than his foot injury.

Occasionally, a strong gust of wind woke him up, and then he began to be sleepy again, and he struggled back and forth between semi-conscious and sleepy.

After some while, he vaguely heard Will's voice in his ears: "Paterna-san, please wake up." ”

"Did I hallucinate......" Half-asleep, Alan couldn't think, and kept his mind spinning around with this question.

"Alan Paterna!" Will's voice suddenly doubled, and then Alan felt like someone was shaking him, as if there was more than one person!

Allen, who was excited, instantly lost his sleepiness and opened his eyes.

Although the surrounding light was not very good, Alan could still see the face close at hand, it was indeed Will! And he was not the only one, and there was a group of little Seapheus around him.

"You...... Why are you here!" Alan was full of curiosity, but he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.

"Will will be there when Alan Pattner needs it. Will said with a smile on his face, and then commanded the group of little Syphus to lift Eren up.

Although this group of little gnomes usually looks quite thin, they didn't expect to be able to lift Alan steadily.

"How did you know I was here?" and ......" Alan looked at the little Seapheus beside him and asked in surprise, "and you know I can't move?"

Will took the lead and led the group into the Four Seasons Garden and back to the dormitory.

"As long as it's about you, Will can know whenever he wants. Will looked back and smiled mysteriously.

Alan didn't understand, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of the time on the clock tower, and found that it was not yet 9:15, and he had only been there for ten minutes just now.

"I rushed over as soon as I could...... Did he already know I was injured here?" Alan muttered to himself.

By this time they had entered the dormitory building, and Will instructed the little Siphus to carry Alan into the common room closest to the stairs. There was no one in the lounge anymore, but there was still a fire in the fireplace.

Lying on the carpet near the fireplace, Alan felt much more comfortable, at least not as cold as the floor.

"Please wait. Will waved his hand and walked out of the lounge with the little Seapheus.

But after only about two minutes he folded back and pulled up Allen's trouser legs, took off his shoes, and began to take a closer look at the injured ankle.

Alan propped his arms around his body, barely sat up, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Hmm...... It's not going to be good......" Will said with a slight nod.

"Can you tell what injuries are there?" asked Allen.

"Minor fractures, and a bit of a cracked bone. Will replied succinctly but precisely.

Alan looked at him a little surprised, unable to believe that he knew so much.

"As far as I know, there aren't any very good doctors on duty at the school hospital right now...... I can only ask you to leave it at that. Will pondered for a moment, then continued, "It will hurt a little, so please bear with me." ”

"What?" Alan wondered. Before he could react to what was going on, though, he saw Will jerk his injured ankle hard.

"Ahh

"Don't move!" Kell didn't let go, and said with a serious expression. At the same time, his hand did not stop, gently twisting Allen's ankle and then pushing it violently.

Alan was so hurt that another cold sweat broke out on his head, but this time he gritted his teeth and didn't move, and he didn't make a sound.

"Hmm...... It should be fine. Will said as he figured out a small bottle and a roll of bandages out of nowhere, "Let's take care of some emergency work for the time being." ”

Will said, slowly applying ointment to Allen's ankle and quickly bandaging it.

"Thank you......" As the ointment slowly spreads evenly and absorbs on the skin, Alan now feels much better. Although it was still painful, Alan moved his ankle a little and found that the discomfort had disappeared a lot compared to before, and at least he could use a little force.

"I didn't expect you to know so much...... And even with medication. Alan praised.

"Our initial living environment was not comfortable, and it was common for us to get injured and avoid being hunted, so we had to know a little bit about everything. Will shrugged his shoulders and put his hands behind his back and said, "And there is no such thing as a doctor in our community, everyone has to learn how to take care of themselves, including when they are injured...... In other words, all of us are doctors. ”

"Hmm. Alan nodded and thanked again: "Thank you." ”

"I'll wait until tomorrow to hand over to the school doctor. Will said.

"Ah, by the way......" Alan suddenly remembered what Will had said to him on the road, and asked, "Excuse me, what you said on the road, you will show up as long as I need it...... What does that mean?"

"Ah...... You say this......" Will smiled a little embarrassedly when he heard the question, "I was just trying to be cool...... Uh, to get a taste of what it's like to be a hero...... I didn't expect you to care so much. ”

"It's not...... I mean, how did you know I was hurt here...... You seem to know about it for a long time?"

Will was a little embarrassed when he heard this question, and hesitated for a long time before simply saying, "I heard from others." ”

"Others?" Alan wondered.

"Yes. "I was standing at the door about to close the door, but suddenly someone came running and told me that you were injured here, and asked me to hurry up and bring the little Seapheus over." ”

"Who is it?" Alan asked, looking at Will for a moment.

But Will hesitated for a long time before staring into Allen's eyes and said, "The person who told me about this specifically told me not to mention it to anyone, especially you. ”

"Can't you tell me otherwise?" Alan was stunned.

"Yes...... I don't know why, but I don't think he meant anything to you. Will nodded slowly, and said seriously, "And you know us, as long as the dwarf promises, you will definitely do it...... So it's a pity that I can't say anything even when you ask......"
