“No wait. Please don’t shoot.” Kizy suddenly stopped everyone.

“What’s the matter Diamond?” Jason asked in all seriousness.

“You can shoot. But not even a single bullet should touch the Imperial Physician. Not others but at least Black command owes him their lives. So we can not touch him.” Kizy replied.

“Don’t worry. I wasn’t intending on doing anything to the Imperial physician in the very first place.” Jason replied, knowing that if there was anyone from that psycho’s side who still had some humanity left within him, it was the Imperial physician.

Kizy simply nodded to Jason’s statement before shooting was started keeping in mind to never touch the Imperial physician.

Plus due to Kizy’s intervention, the guards had come quite far away from the gates which otherwise would have been an easy shelter for them.

Still, they tried to backfire, but all in vain.

“Here, Second sister.” Suddenly Harry said to Kizy, before passing her favourite gun, knowing though she wasn’t needed in this small battle, but yet she would love to.

Kizy gave him a smile before taking her position, shooting continuously one after another.

And though, Professor had allotted one of his best men to make sure nobody could reach Kizy, they seemed like nobody’s while being attacked by the four teamed Black Command now.

After all, the team now had aggression, as well as the gist to fight. The entire Black command was here, except Victor. And the sole reason behind this was the professor. So how could they take it lying down.

Plus with Kizy, the gun goddess herself, the team now had a new found motivation to simply kill anyone from the Professor’s side who was in sight.

The Imperial Physician hadn’t expected such an outcome, that too this sudden. He could very easily say that he was being purposefully ignored while all others were being showered by the bullets.

“You come here.” The Imperial physician said while pulling Sia with him, back towards the gate.

“No! What are you doing? Are you siding with our enemies as well! How dare you deceive the Professor?!” Sia shouted at the Imperial Physician, watching how he was not at all worried about the bullets and going in while all others were struggling to save themselves.

“I am not decieving someone. In fact you need to open your eyes and see things clearly.” The Imperial physician replied to Sia.

“Stop. I will kill all of them!” Sia shouted, trying to struggle hard to break free from the Imperial physician’s grip, who had almost dragged her till the gates.

Watching her struggle even more, the Imperial physician simply pushed her inside the gate before walking inside and closing it.

“You!!! Open this damn gate! I will report you to the Professor soon. How dare you betray your best friend this way!!” Sia shouted at the Imperial physician before punching on the closed gate.

“And look what your Professor has done to me. This is how I got rewarded for all my years of so-called friendship.” Finally the always cool Imperial physician lost it and raised his voice while showing his abdominal wound caused by the poison blade, edges of the wound having corroded skin.

“This…” Sia spoke, finding it hard to digest.

After all, even though she was way more loyal to the Professor, everything she knew was because of the Imperial physician. He was the one who had guided her at every step, even saving her from the Professor’s wrath from time to time.

Plus she knew how calm and peace loving the Imperial physician was, so she was sure that he would never attack or straightaway go against the Professor to receive such a blow from him.

“How did this happen? Why did the Professor attack you?” Sia asked, her voice far lower than what it was moments ago.

“Just because I told him that the battlefield needed him more than his leisurely visit to Miss Hazel.” The Imperial physician said, without giving much of an explanation.

He knew that Sia was still too young to understand everything. Plusp if he was to explain the entire thing, she might think that he is doing it out of guilt. So instead giving a brief detail and letting rest remain the mystery was the best way to turn her on his side.

“But why did you do that? You know how much the Professor is obsessed with Miss Hazel.” Sia said, this time back to her flat normal tone, though somewhere deep down she could find herself siding up with the Imperial physician.

“Yes I know about his obsession, and that is why this entire battle is happening. But do you think it is correct of him to abandon all his men in front of Satan, who is doing this all because he captured Miss Hazel, while he goes to have some casual talk with her?” The Imperial physician said, throwing all the blame on the Professor which was nowhere wrong.

This time Sia simply kept quite not understanding what to do.

“Look, I know your respect for the Professor. But with what he did with me today, I am never going back to him. Anyways, today will be the finale, the final battle which will have a sole winner either the Professor or Satan.

But I am not going to stop here anymore. I will just simply wait till this fight ends after which I will leave the Imperial nation and go somewhere far away.

I dragged you here because I don’t want you to ruin your life at such a young age. Staying here will only get you killed while the Professor won’t have any reaction towards your sacrifice. Hence I advise you to leave this hell and live a normal life, away from this bloodbath.” The Imperial physician made his intentions clear, and somewhere he was positive enough that with a little persuading, Sia would listen to him, after she was his student.

“But the Professor-” Sia still tried to talk a little on his side when the Imperial physician cut her off.

“Look, just try placing yourself in Miss Hazel’s shoes, just once. Would you like it if you are made to separate away from your once loving family, your husband and relatives and friends and instead be given a life full of luxury where you will have everything at your fingertips but simply no one to talk to. Be practical Sia, even if Hazel agrees to be with the Professor just tell me what kind of conversation can you have with him? Can someone seriously spend his entire life with the Professor? Give it a proper thought and answer me. Is money and other expensive treasures everything that satisfies a woman?” The Imperial physician came out stronger than he intended to as whatever he was speaking was coming from his heart, his empathy towards Kizy.
