21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 509 - 505: Medical Qualification Examination (Request for Subscription and Monthly Tickets)

Nearing the end of the workday, perhaps to soothe her wounded heart, Tokairin Yuko suggested to Misumi Mikoto, "Mikoto, let's go have a drink after work! You haven't joined me for a drink in so long!"

Upon hearing Tokairin Yuko's suggestion, Misumi Mikoto thought for a moment and then nodded, casually inviting Kube Rokuro who was nearby, "Mr. Kube, come with us, it's more fun with more people."

However, faced with Misumi Mikoto's invitation, Kube Rokuro just shook his head and declined, "I won't be going, I have something to do tonight, sorry."

"Rokuro, you've been so eager to leave work recently! Are you rushing off to see your girlfriend?" Tokairin Yuko teased, upon hearing Kube Rokuro mention again that he had plans for the evening.

In fact, ever since Chen Yu asked Misumi Mikoto to keep an eye on Kube Rokuro, she had noticed that he had been leaving work punctually every day and seemed in a rush, looking very much like he was eager to meet up with a girlfriend.

But with the information provided by Chen Yu, Misumi Mikoto knew that Qingdai had not been discharged from the hospital and Kube Rokuro was not going to be with her.

Thinking this, Misumi Mikoto couldn't help but become curious and asked Kube Rokuro, "Rokuro, you've been disappearing right after work recently, is there something going on? Don't tell me it really is like what Tokairin says, that you're off to see your girlfriend after work?"

Feeling somewhat guilty being questioned by both Tokairin Yuko and Misumi Mikoto, Kube Rokuro shook his head and said, "No, I'm just preparing for the medical licensing exam recently, I need to go home and study in the evenings."

"Eh? The medical licensing exam? Didn't you take it during school, Mr. Kube?" Misumi Mikoto was somewhat surprised. According to the regulations of Japan Medical University, students are required to take the licensing exam during their school years, so it was strange that Kube Rokuro didn't have a license to practice.

"I didn't pass the last exam..." Kube Rokuro confessed, embarrassed but quickly explaining, "So recently I've been studying to take it again this year."

"I see! Then you better study hard, Mr. Kube! The medical licensing exam is really tough, but once you pass, you'll be able to practice medicine. Whether you decide to work in a hospital or open your own clinic, either choice would be great," Misumi Mikoto encouraged him upon hearing his explanation, instead of making fun of him.

At their side, Tokairin Yuko also cheered for Kube Rokuro, "You can do it, Rokuro! Once you pass, I'll introduce you to a girlfriend! They're all women I met at social gatherings, many of them with great qualities! If you have a medical license, lots of girls would want to date you."

"Thank you, Doctor Tokairin, but there's no need for that," Kube Rokuro clearly was not interested in the matchmaking Tokairin Yuko was proposing and quickly gathered his things. After a swift "I'm off," he hurriedly fled the office.

Watching Kube Rokuro escape as if running for his life, Misumi Mikoto felt a moment of contemplation.

Under what circumstances would a man strive for excellence?

————————————————————

"...Okay, I understand, thank you, Meiqin," Mr. Chen Yu said his thanks and then hung up the phone with Misumi Mikoto.

But even after he hung up the phone, Chen Yu still felt somewhat incredulous. The always slack and lazy Kube Rokuro, who never wanted to exert himself, was actually planning to retake the medical licensing exam? When he first found out that Rokuro had failed the exam in school, Professor Kube was so angry he almost killed him, yet that hadn't been enough to make him consider retaking it.

Is the power of a woman really that great? Or is it that Qingdai's methods are really so powerful that they could motivate Kube Rokuro to start studying hard?

"What's up? Why did Dr. Misumi call?" Jounouchi Hiromi came over with a plate of freshly washed strawberries, approaching Chen Yu and offering him the strawberries.

Popping a strawberry into his mouth from the plate, Chen Yu then explained, "Meiqin said that Rokuro plans to retake the medical licensing exam."

"Eh? Isn't Mr. Kube a graduate of Japan Medical University? How could he not have his medical license?" Jounouchi Hiromi was also surprised by this revelation, as it seemed odd to her that someone who had completed six years of medical school wouldn't have their medical license. Otherwise, how could he graduate?

Faced with Jounouchi Hiromi's confusion, Chen Yu helplessly explained, "Otherwise, why do you think Rokuro would become a clerk at UDI? If he had his medical license, Professor Kube's influence alone could have landed him a position as a doctor in any hospital."

Upon hearing this from Chen Yu, Jounouchi Hiromi also felt a sense of helplessness and speechlessness, and couldn't help but feel a bit more sympathy for Professor Kube. His son, who was the Chief of Surgery at Tokyo University Medical School Hospital, hadn't even passed his medical licensing exam, one could imagine how hard it was for Professor Kube to save face.

However, regarding this news, Jounouchi Hiromi still found it rather odd: "But if Mr. Kube had failed the exam last time, isn't it normal for him to want to retake it? Mr. Chen Yu, you seem to find this matter quite unbelievable."

"Because it really is unbelievable! When he failed the exam initially, Professor Kube nearly killed him, demanding he retake it, but he adamantly refused to do so," Chen Yu said with a helpless look on his face, shaking his head," A big part of the reason Rokuro moved out and rented his own place last year was because of this incident."

"So why does he want to take the exam again now? Has he had a change of heart and decided to start over?" Jounouchi Hiromi couldn't believe that Kube Rokuro could actually turn over a new leaf.

However, Chen Yu shook his head in response to Jounouchi Hiromi's guess and shared his own judgment, "Nine times out of ten, it's related to Qingdai. To change someone's mind, the influence of a lover can oftentimes be more effective than that of family or friends. It's very likely that Rokuro, the foolish lad, was talked into it by Qingdai, which suggests that he's truly fallen for Qingdai."

Considering Chen Yu's assessment, Jounouchi Hiromi thought about it and felt it seemed more plausible. After all, it was more believable that Qingdai influenced him than Kube Rokuro had a self-revelation and reformed.

With this in mind, Jounouchi Hiromi couldn't help feeling surprised, "It seems that Qingdai has been a help to Rokuro! Maybe she's not as bad as we thought?"

"The deeper her influence on Rokuro, the more it shows how dangerous this woman is. If she intends to use Rokuro to influence me, then the tighter she holds onto Rokuro, the more advantageous it is for her," Chen Yu remained skeptical of Qingdai's true intentions, "However, for now, since she wants Rokuro to work harder, there's no harm in that."
