21st Century Necromancer

Upon receiving the girl's consultation, Jounouchi Hiromi was at a loss for a definite answer initially, but based on the girl's description, she suspected that the girl's mother may have suffered a head injury from a fall, leading to complications, which could explain the odd behaviors.

After some thought, Jounouchi Hiromi still advised the girl to take her mother to the hospital for a detailed medical checkup.

After hearing Jounouchi Hiromi's advice, the girl inquired about the cost of a comprehensive medical check and hesitated for a long time before asking Jounouchi Hiromi, "Doctor Sister, could you please help check my mother? Before my father had his accident, he had saved some money for me to use when I go to university. I want to use it now for my mother's checkup. If she is indeed sick, it would allow her to start healing sooner."

The girl's words moved Jounouchi Hiromi, and she nodded in agreement, "Of course, you go ask your mother when she's available, then call me, and I'll help you arrange a checkup time. This way, it won't take up too much of your mother's time. If she indeed was injured before, she can start healing as soon as possible to prevent any real problems."

After finishing, Jounouchi Hiromi also shared her private mobile number with the girl in case she needed to contact her.

The girl, grateful and having written down Jounouchi Hiromi's private number, thanked her and finished her overly sweet lunch before taking her leave.

Jounouchi Hiromi initially regarded this incident as a minor episode, not dwelling on it, but while enjoying her own lunch and getting ready to rest in the examination room, her colleague Qingdai suddenly approached her and said, "Doctor Jounouchi is truly kind-hearted! Even if that young girl can afford her mother's checkup, with her family's current situation, if they don't find anything wrong, it's still okay, but what if they do? They probably won't be able to afford the medical bills. I wonder what our good-hearted Doctor Jounouchi would do then?"

"And what do you think should be done? Should the girl not take her mother for the checkup and gamble on the 50% chance that her mother is fine? What would you do if something truly happened?" Jounouchi Hiromi replied instantly, confronting Qingdai with the same challenge and looked at her with disdain, "Thinking that a patient's inability to afford medical fees means you shouldn't treat them, do you even count as a doctor? It's just medical fees; if it comes to it, I'll cover them myself. What's the problem with that!"

With a scoff, Jounouchi Hiromi stood up from her seat and looked straight into Qingdai's eyes.

Although Qingdai appeared slightly taller due to her high heels, at that moment, Jounouchi Hiromi's gaze was full of scorn, almost contemptuous of such behavior from Qingdai.

Although Jounouchi Hiromi has matured and become more womanly with age, the fiery passion inherently like that of a man's still lived within her. And when she expressed this side of herself, she was undeniably as cool and even more handsome than the boys of her high school days.

"That female doctor is so cool!" Indeed, the female high school students at this girls' school, like the female classmates who fell for Jounouchi Hiromi during her high school days, were attracted by her charisma.

Qingdai, under Jounouchi Hiromi's gaze, couldn't help but step back, maintaining a composed face, but her eyes betrayed some panic.

When Jounouchi Hiromi looked at her just now, she felt as if she was being watched by a fierce animal, a feeling that puzzled Qingdai deeply, yet she composed herself and said, "As a doctor, I must consider whether the patient can bear the consequences of the treatment! A doctor like you, Jounouchi, can help a patient, but you can't help everyone!"

"So we should give up on patients? If you hold that kind of mindset, you might be better off not being a doctor at all," Jounouchi Hiromi concluded, not sparing a glance at Qingdai's furious face or the admiring high school girls in the cafeteria. She carried her finished tray to the sink, washed it neatly, replaced it, and then left the cafeteria.

Watching Jounouchi Hiromi's confident departure, with her white coat fluttering behind her from her brisk walk like a cape, the high school girls inside the cafeteria couldn't help but think how great it would be if they could be as cool as her.

The afternoon physicals went by without further incident, but because of what happened at noon, Qingdai found fewer people consulting her in the afternoon. In contrast, more came to seek Jounouchi Hiromi's advice.

However, faced with a crowd of high school girls drawn to medicine by her allure, Jounouchi Hiromi did not offer leading words like Qingdai, but rather urged them to think rationally to make sure their decision to become female doctors was based on determination and not just because they thought she was cool.

This approach no doubt made the young girls feel even more fond of Jounouchi Hiromi. Learning that she was an instructor at Tokyo University Medical School Hospital, they held her in awe, with some even declaring on the spot their intention to enter the University of Tokyo Medical School to become her juniors and follow in her footsteps.

Yet Jounouchi Hiromi simply smiled at their admiration, advising them to think it through and not adding anything further.

She was well aware that although these young girls talked about getting into the University of Tokyo Medical School, the majority likely would not be able to achieve this.

If getting into the University of Tokyo Medical School were that easy, it wouldn't be referred to as a "monster camp."

But Jounouchi Hiromi did not want to dampen their enthusiasm, as the hospital had arranged for the girls to come in hopes of attracting them to apply to the University of Tokyo. Since they now had such aspirations, why should she discourage them?

Therefore, Jounouchi Hiromi was rational in her advice, allowing the girls to ponder without dousing their spirits, while she focused mainly on conducting their physical exams.

While Jounouchi Hiromi didn't pay much attention to this, Qingdai, on the other hand, noticed the noticeably larger crowd around Jounouchi Hiromi compared to the morning, which mattered to her a great deal.

The better and more perfect the image Jounouchi Hiromi displayed, the more it deviated from Qingdai's original plan, forcing her to spend more effort dealing with the current situation.
