More and more contestants were arriving in Bainbridge, and so were the medical experts. The crowd of onlookers
increased at the two places where the contestants were staying, especially at Bainbridge
Hotel. Most contestants stayed there since they cfrom big families.
They picked the hotel, not for its decadence, but because they were used to the more modern lifestyle. Being
able to have a good rest meant that they would be in a better place to face the competition. Renew
Pharmaceuticals was a lot quieter than the hotel. Contestants who picked this place were used to living in quiet
places.
A purple silhouette cin, and Matthew stood up. "Hi. Matthew Larson, representative of the South. Pleasure
to meet you."
The woman in purple smiled sweetly and introduced herself. "Hello, Mr. Larson. Lola Crichton of Meteora.
Pleasure to meet you." She had a clean, silvery voice. Just listening to her cheered Matthew up. Matthew was
surprised to hear her name. "It's an honor meeting you, Goddess of Meteora. Your reputation precedes you."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Goddess of Meteora was called a genius doctor, one that only showed up once in a century. She seldom
showed her face in public, but her reputation was known to all. "Oh, you're too kind, Mr. Larson." She extended
her hand.
The moment they shook hands, Matthew felt Bloodreaper shiver, and a pure, kind thought shot up into his head.
This was the first tMatthew felt Bloodreaper resonate with someone else other than him. This woman has a
pure, clean heart. | can see why she's called the Goddess of Meteora.
Just when they were about to take their seats, another contestant cin.
"May peace be with you. | am Paintaker from Southcloud Temple. Pleasure to meet you."
Matthew and Lola both looked surprised. All the contestants were either talented doctors from powerful families
or medical experts, but one thing they had in common was that they were rich or powerful. Yet this monk
looked... worse for wear. If they didn't know he was a contestant, Matthew and Lola would have thought he was a
monk in training.
After the introductions, Matthew couldn't help but ask, "Did you walk all the way here, sir?"
The monk panicked a little. "Sir? Oh, no. Please, callPaintaker, Mr. Larson. I'm not worthy of the title 'sir'." He

land. A few days ago, my master senta letter, tellingto take part in this competition. He said if | were to
compete with fellow doctors, | can improve my medical skills even more. Since | was near Bainbridge anyway, |
came." He put his hands in prayer and bowed.
Matthew had nothing but respect for him. He walked this land for three years, foraged for herbs himself, and
treated people who needed to be treated. The land is his bed. | can imagine how hard it must have been, and yet
he seems so calm like his hardship is nothing. Matthew wasn't sure about anyone else, but he knew he couldn't
do it.
The monk saved all the people that needed him on his pilgrimage and asked for nothing in return. That was the
spirit of a true doctor. Matthew straightened his clothes out and put his hands in prayer. "Thank you for the
lesson, Dr. Paintaker."
Equally in awe, Lola bowed at Paintaker as well.
"Prithee, what are you doing?" Paintaker looked like he was at a loss, and his face turned red. He looked adorable
