"Just tell us what that is!"
Raven glared at Dunstan. "Everyone's waiting, so stop being so mysterious!"
"Surely all of you have heard of the World Physician Championship, right?"
Dunstan blinked while looking incredulous.
"Why would we know about that?"
Among those present, Dunstan was the only one who came from a traditional medicine family. Apart from him, only Melina had any connection to the medical field.
Melina nodded in acknowledgment and said, "I know of it. It's a world-class competition that represents the pinnacle of medical excellence. Any doctor who places in that competition would see their reputation soar.
"But since the World Medical Association was established, the competition has been dominated by modern medicine practitioners. Doctors from Havaria rarely get a chance to shine there."
Dunstan nodded. "She's right, but there are exceptions. I remember the champion of the last competition was from Havaria. And they were actually the apprentice of Dr. Jay Petty, the Medical Prodigy!"
"The Medical Prodigy?"
Everyone present was shocked.
"Isn't the Medical Prodigy at Talon Academy?" Melina asked in surprise.
"They say he's eccentric and only teaches at the academy but never takes apprentices. Even his students only dare to call him 'professor' and dare not claim to be his apprentices."
"That shows how little you know," Dunstan said with an air of mystery.
"My grandfather told me the Medical Prodigy took one apprentice five years ago, and that was the only one he had ever officially approved. This person was not only the youngest graduate of Talon Academy but also the chief field agent of Xenith Order..."
"That's incredible!"
Knox and the others had always been curious about Talon Academy and the Xenith Order, so they treated Dunstan's words like a legend or tale.
