Again, Disclaimer: I don't own To Aru

Second chapter up and yet to actually get to the story. I honestly don't know if that is good or not. Well, anyways let me know what you think and I swear the next chapter will be starting the the actual story. As a final note the chronology for this chapter is still before the epilogue.

It was dimly lit, there a large group standing with their heads bowed as if praying. A door opened abruptly but silently and in unison everyone's head shot up staring at the man who came through. They stared at him with intense curiosity expecting to hear his word. What was it they were waiting for? What was it they were expecting? They were waiting for hope, they were expecting the worst. No, what they really wanted was answers; for once they just wanted answers.

There was silence as the man looked around him he was surprised that this many people can fit in such a small hallway. There were many people staring at him waiting for his answer amongst them was a girl with long black hair who gave off the impression that she should be wearing a Miko outfit, she seemed to be a silent introvert of sorts but something about her looked as if she wanted to scream out. There was a girl that gave off the impression of a class president but wasn't, she appeared to normally have serious and intense expression, but her face was soft and filled with worry. There was a boy with a Hawaiian shirt that looked like he should be wearing sunglasses, despite the lack of light, but they seemed to have been replaced with a face of various emotions that not even a secret agent could read. A girl with tea colored short hair and probably a shorter temper that was unnaturally calm, standing next to her a boy with white hair and a crutch, who had a demeanor that you wouldn't believe he could show. A boy with blonde scruffy hair who for the first time didn't just look like some dumb thug and a boy with blue hair who gave off an appearance of usually having a permanent smile with eyes that are never opened but yet he was staring at him with a serious look upon his face. There was a girl with silver hair wearing a white habit sitting in the corner unnaturally silent. And in front of all of them was women who looked like an elementary student, she had pink hair and an expression with an unbelievable amount of seriousness; it was jarring to see such emotional control coming from her. All of these people and more were standing there waiting for him say something, it was clear that there was only one thing that they had in common and only one thing they were here for it was to know the fate of a certain boy.

After a few seconds of silence the frog-like man opened his mouth with a response to their unspoken inquiries.

"As a doctor it is generally against my policy to give vital information about my patients to anyone other than those who are considered members of family or to have legal relations, criminal investigation notwithstanding of course."

Heaven Canceller took a breath before continuing, "But upon taking into consideration the circumstances that had led you here and his current condition, I have come to the conclusion that it would be difficult to continue without first addressing the issue."

"As for answers towards what Mr. Kamijou was involved in, how he ended up in Denmark with a terrorist, and why his actions were being internationally broadcasted by various heads of state, I have none to give, I am only a doctor it is my job to treat the wounds of a patient who enters, it is not to keep tabs of their actions once they leave. If you wish for your questions to be answered then it is Kamijou who should answer them."

He paused for moment to let his words be understood. It was laughably ludicrous for them to expect him to know more about what Touma has been involved in any more than them, the fact that he did was besides point. Their expectations of him were unreasonable and for more reasons than one. Nothing he said was a lie but they should not expect those answers from him, it is not his place to answer them and it is not their place to ask.

"Now, as for the matter of his current state of well-being, the good news first, he is alive. Ok, on to the bad news, he has multiple shattered bones, broken ribs, and dislocated joints. His ribs have punctured his lungs in several places and he had suffered severe organ damage throughout his body. All things considered it's amazing his organs have managed to contain their shape, or any shape at all for that matter, with that amount of damage they should be tomato paste. He also is suffering from severe blood loss, sleep deprivation, and hunger. Not to mention severe levels Hypothermia and frostbite. Also there is a good chance of brain damage but at this point I haven't had the chance to check and quite frankly I don't see the need too, after all let's face it, he can't get much dumber. As a final note he is currently on multiple and various forms of life support. Any one of these injuries that I have listed are severe enough that any normal man should probably be dead but added together it would a miracle they'd be even recognizably human and with being on that much life support I'd doubt they'd ever get off of it. But don't worry he's alive after all and that's what counts, so no big deal."

The little teacher Tsukuyomi Komoe, stood there a second slightly dumbfounded by his report it was all very serious, but, "Doctor-san I appreciate your update on his condition but I don't think it's right to say some of those things you said about Kamijou-chan considering his condition."

"You don't think he's an idiot?"

Komoe dumbfounded at the audacity and clearly angry shouts using a tone no one had ever imagined could come from her voice. "Kamijou-chan may be lacking in his grades but that doesn't mean he is stupid and that has nothing to do with this, this is not the time to joke when he is in a hospital, beaten beyond recognition, and going to spend the rest of his life on life-support."

"Oh, sorry, yeah that isn't going to happen, I expect full recovery and discharge in a several days, couple weeks tops depending how long I want to keep him."

"Wait, you just said that he…"

"I said any normal man would be but Kamijou here isn't very normal is he? His body has an unbelievable amount of endurance and a quick healing factor that is practically superhuman. Does anyone know if his ability is Auto-regeneration?"

"Kamijou-chan is a level 0 with no ability to speak of."

"Oh, yeah I think I remember reading that in his file, but anyway he generally does more to heal himself then I do, like that time he came in with his arm lopped off all I had to do sew it back on and it practically healed itself not even a scar."

"Wait, Kamijou-chan had his arm cut off?" Komoe responded frantically.

"Uh, yeah, I thought you would have known, being his teacher and all"

"No I didn't."

"Well, there goes the patient confidentiality."

"Is everything a joke to you?"

"Well, Kamijou has been telling me that I need better bedside manner with some more humor. I guess I need some practice."

"Well, anyways just to confirm, Kamijou-chan is going to be fine and we can visit him during proper visiting hours."

"Yes, but not for at least another day, health wise he is fine but he is still unconscious and he shouldn't be bothered yet. So I would like to ask all of you to please leave for now"

Everyone had questions, enough questions to fill a book, some knew more than others but none knew enough. As they slowly walked home the day came to a close.

The End of Chapter 2! Yeah!
