Chapter 347 104: Gradual Growth_2
```
Life like this wasn't so bad, but the new semester's experiences had opened yet another door for him.
Having guns but not being able to use them was undoubtedly something that caused regret and discomfort, and it was the same for Kinsenke. His family was affluent and he had bought quite a few guns and weapons in pursuit of thrills; unfortunately, such things were practically useless in South First District.
There were always many bodyguards around him, and no one dared to mess with this pampered young master. Moreover, the public safety in South First District was really good, so there was no need for him to use guns for protection and the like. This lack of targets in life occasionally made him a bit irritable, but shooting at targets and fighting Phantom Crystal Beasts just became boring and tiresome.
Until this time, when he followed the club to Northern Second District for training.
The previously suppressed thoughts and desires had found a place to be fully expressed. The sound of bullets being fired, the kinetic energy of the recoil hitting, and the adrenaline rush from bullet cases flying around unquestionably gave him great satisfaction. The best part was having Academy teachers around to make sure he wouldn't randomly die out there, and he also wouldn't be breaking any laws.
"Absolutely fantastic," he would say, in his own words.
That's why he was the most supportive of Tilan's suggestion to clear out the bandits at the old site of Jielou City. During the action, he insisted on being on the front line, against the advice of others.
If young people from his circle in South First District were to come here, they probably wouldn't believe that the man charging in bullet chains, wearing a bulletproof vest, and tactical goggles—like a reckless brute—was the same pampered Kinsenke.
Not long after clearing the enemies inside the fortress and tying them up one by one, the rest of the companions arrived on the scene.
The first was the idol girl who easily leaped into the third floor of this fortress via the staircase, her purple-red long hair trailing in the air, followed by her black boots landing on the ground littered with bullet casings and debris.
"Hey, Ruby's here~" She waved her hand lightly towards the enemies sitting against the wall, greeting them in a relaxed mood.
"Wow, this is quite a mess, with blood and casings everywhere. I'm glad it's me today—if it were Deloris, she'd probably nag at you again." Unlike the other female peers, Ruby showed no negative reaction to such a bloody scene.
'I'm used to it because I see it a lot when acting.' That was her explanation, but her peers thought it more likely that her inherent values were different from ordinary people and she simply didn't care about such things.
"Lie down nicely, okay? The talented Doctor Ruby is here. If you're a good kid, you might just survive~" After saying that, she took out her medical bag, lined with rows of light blue Healing Potions, and in her hand, she held a syringe with a needle so large it was terrifying.
Being injected with such a thick needle might hurt so much you'd die on the spot, and although the captured enemies understood that not taking a Healing Potion could mean a quick death, they were still unnerved by the sight of the needle.
Guluo, Xie Lian, and Kinsenke took turns guarding these subdued bandits and Gang members, while Ruby injected potions to those who were seriously injured to prevent sudden deaths. They also began interrogating these people for information on their origins and the hiding places of their supplies and assets.
Of course, these gunshots wounds could be temporarily healed to prevent death, but to be completely cured was not something that a single Healing Potion could achieve.
Bullets lodged in the body had to be removed, organ damage required T4-grade treatment at a hospital, and if nerves were unfortunately damaged, even higher-grade treatments were needed.
"Don't worry, the treatment costs will be calculated and paid from the assets and goods you've hidden. If that's not enough, I'm very sorry. Actually, I really want to be a good person like the gentle club president Tilan, but, but, Ruby is still too weak and not as strong as club president Tilan. I can only spend money to buy treatment plans. So, if there isn't enough funding, Ruby can only sadly give you Euthanasia Potions, because I'm not a demon, after all, I can't stand to watch you suffer." As the idol girl wiped away her tears, she pulled out a pale yellow Euthanasia Potion and placed it on her knee. The transparent vial was coded, indicating it was a rather official euthanasia drug—a small vial would allow one to die quickly and without pain.
Absolutely do not inject the Euthanasia Potion. Even a fool understood it was better to live a bad life than to die. Once injected, there would be no pain, but life was over.
Realizing the imminent danger, the captured Gang members quickly started spilling the beans about the hiding places for their goods and assets. Even the nearby boss, who wanted to issue a stop order, was helpless—after all, he too was afraid of dying.
"Actually, we also know where the Leopard Head Gang hides their things." Just as they were slowly confessing, one of the subordinates hesitated for a moment and then spoke up again.
```
"If we can find it, can it be counted in our treatment funding?"
"Well, it's not out of the question. After all, we are very understanding people," Ruby tilted her head in thought and then nodded.
"Thank you, thank you..." Afterwards, he began to spill the beans about the situation he had spied on some time ago. It appeared the leader of the Leopard Head Gang had been burying something, and it looked quite secretive.
Ten minutes later, having obtained the full intelligence, Ruby nodded, looking very satisfied.
"You really are a good person~ You're the kind of kid Ruby likes. Don't worry, Ruby will find you a good doctor later on." The idol girl clasped her hands together, resting them against her cheek, expressing gratitude. This expression and gesture somehow gave the captives a special sense of satisfaction and happiness.
However, the three boys on the other side turned their faces away, feeling a bit tearful for these bandits. It was as if they were thoroughly exploited by the young mistress and still remembered her kindness.
After interrogating the group, it was already evening, and they simply decided to stay the night at this makeshift fortress, ready to enjoy dinner.
The scent of the cooked canned food wafted appealingly, and while they ate happily, the captives could only watch with longing, their stomachs involuntarily rumbling with hunger.
"Just wait a little bit, okay? Ruby will come and feed everyone in a while." The girl by the campfire was currently kneeling on the ground, enjoying a roasted pudding. Her posture and expression continued to draw the attention of the bandits.
After enjoying the evening meal, Ruby took the canned food and approached the captives. First, she made them sit up straight against the wall, and then she began to feed them one by one with a spoon.
"One at a time, be good and don't push~" The scene actually wasn't too different from kindergarten teachers handing out candy to children.
"I never noticed before, but Ruby has this side to her," the three boys discussed quietly, occasionally glancing at the girl squatting in front of the captives, just like a kindergarten teacher.
"She's clearly a demon, and a very bad one at that."
"Ahem, keep your voice down, don't let her hear us. Although I've seen quite a few celebrities, someone like Ruby who's naturally suited to perform, this really is a first," Kinsenke stroked his chin.
"Exactly, the more successful the idol star, the better they deceive. Acting is trickery, after all."
"Luckily, she's on our side, and although her acting and mentality are excellent, her Transcendent Talent is average. If she had a talent like Chairman Tilan, I don't dare think what kind of demon lord would emerge in this world."
"Lucky indeed."
"What are you all whispering about there? Can you come over and help Ruby? Everyone seems to be starving, and Ruby can't feed them all by herself."
"Huh? Sure, sure, we're coming."
The three men exchanged glances, slowly stood up, left one on guard, and the other two went to help feed the captives.
As the night deepened, the ruins gradually grew colder. Two months after entering the Northern Second District, everyone in the club had grown in their own ways. Although they were still a far cry from a complete transformation, at least in terms of mentality and handling matters, they had matured a lot compared to the past.
This is probably what growing up is all about.
