Chapter 159: Weaponsmith
When Doctor Eleanor returned to the preparation room, she was welcomed by a reverberating applause.
She was completely taken aback. It took her a while to process what was happening.
Doctor Ella ran towards her and embraced her tightly, causing Doctor Eleanor to take a several step back.
Doctor Eleanor finally regained her clarity and couldn’t help but beam a smile.
Doctor Ella wept to her ears. "You were so amazing, Eleanor. You slayed the presentation earlier."
Doctor Eleanor hugged Doctor Eleanor back, whispering, "Thank you."
Slowly, Doctor Eleanor was being gathered around by others.
Master Shen stood behind her, causing her to have her eyes glued at him.
Master Shen was smiling from ear to ear. He said, "I feel like I’m the happiest from your presentation. Congratulations, Eleanor. You mesmerized me."
Doctor Eleanor was taken aback. Her face flushed and she didn’t know how to respond.
Doctor Ella secretly moved her left ear to her chest while hugging her and mumbled, "Your heart is racing."
Doctor Eleanor was startled. She immediately tried to push Doctor Eleanor away, but the latter held her firmly.
Thankfully, there was Felix and others who distracted her.
Felix said, "Congratulations."
Krisha followed, as well as Mia.
Ember was aware of Doctor Eleanor’s successful presentation, so she flew towards her and chirped boisterously, flying around her head.
Doctor Eleanor felt dizzy and said, "Stop, Ember. I’m about to pass out."
Ember hastily returned to Mia and Doctor Eleanor smiled at her.
She said, "Thank you. Thank you, everyone."
Sarah and Noah also joined in, and Doctor Henry simply watched at a distance.
When he sensed that the celebratory greetings settled down, he finally moved closer and instantly gained Doctor Eleanor’s attention.
Doctor Henry bowed, garnering everyone’s attention.
He said, "Congratulations, Doctor Eleanor, for the wonderful presentation. I am grateful that I’m still alive and kicking to witness a historical event."
"Thank you, Doctor Henry."
Doctor Henry straighted his back and politely said, "I will be leaving now as I still have to prepare for the grand dinner tonight. I have already called my assistant to guide you. I hope you understand."
"We do, we do. There’s no need to be so polite, Doctor Henry," said Doctor Eleanor while feeling flustered.
Doctor Henry beamed a smile before leaving the preparation room.
A while later, a young physician, as younger as Doctor Eleanor and Doctor Ella, knocked the door and entered.
Doctor Ella knew who he was, but she was not acquainted with him. The assistant introduced himself as Doctor Arthur, an Attending Physician in Clark City.
He also congratulated Doctor Eleanor. From his tone and his behavior towards her, he was definitely excited to converse with her.
However, after Doctor Eleanor simply responded with a "Thank you", she was immediately distracted by Doctor Ella as others listened to their conversation.
Doctor Arthur knew it wasn’t the time to bother them, so he simply listened.
When he received the confirmation to lead Doctor Eleanor and others to the dining hall, he politely said, "Excuse me. I’ve been informed that I can now lead you to the dining hall."
Doctor Eleanor nodded. "Lead us the way, then."
...
The grand dining celebration was nothing more important to Felix. Aside from being acquainted with some world-class physicians, receiving their contact information in case he wanted them to research of a cure he had from his summoned, Felix didn’t have a deep impression.
Though, he managed to remember some of the national signature dish he had taken a liking into.
After the grand dinner celebration, they finally returned to Doctor Ella’s residence and rested almost immediately.
Except, Felix who was already itching to practice Ashen and Rain since they arrived in the Grand Convergence Hall.
Hence, he didn’t sleep at all and only returned when others were already preparing for breakfast.
Sarah scolded Felix for not sleeping and the latter could only smile, listening. Sarah did not notice that Felix stayed up the whole night as she instantly fell asleep.
She also thought that Felix wouldn’t stay up the whole night again since they were practically in a vacation, but here he was...
His addiction to training would definitely be the death of him.
After a momentary episode of Felix being scolded by his mother, breakfast had finally arrived.
Doctor Ella cooked for them as always and it continued to impress Felix and others.
Felix himself even praised Doctor Ella and constantly asked for the recipe for every food he had taken a liking.
Doctor Ella was flattered and politely gave, without trying to hide, the recipes to Felix as they enjoyed the food.
Felix liked to cook, so it wasn’t surprising why he was asking Doctor Ella for the recipes.
Eventually, as the breakfast was approaching its end, with Mia taken quite a long time to finish her meal, Felix recalled her previous conversation with Krisha and asked Doctor Ella for some advice.
"The most popular weaponsmith? What for? To repair your bow?"
Doctor Ella was aware of Felix’s first summoned being repaired by a weaponsmith in the Chambers City.
Although the condition of his second summoned was better than the first, she believed that it would be enhanced if it would be repaired.
Felix shook his head. "I can repair Ashen by myself. I’ve also ordered the materials. But, today, me and Krisha are looking for a sword for her."
Doctor Eleanor and Master Shen were surprised.
Master Shen asked, "Is Master Vey not producing a sword solely for you?"
Krisha instantly replied, "He did. Only that, he’s taking his time, compared to when he was repairing Felix’s sword.
Anyway, Felix insisted for me to get a real sword first before returning to the Chambers City."
Master Shen and Doctor Eleanor hinted something from her words.
They simultaneously turned towards Felix with a questioning gaze.
Felix smiled and explained. "It just doesn’t sit right with me when she’s using a wooden sword. We’re not in a dojo anymore. It’s better for her to use a real sword instead for training and for self-defense."
