Code:
gawk 'BEGIN{ORS=""; RS="No.     Time[^\n]*\n"} NR==2 {print $1}' file

That will fail to display what you want for the two parts in red. And because record one needs to be excluded or it will display a blank line

If all you want is:
Code:
28
29
30

Try:
Code:
awk '$1 ~ /^[0-9][0-9]$/ {print $1}' file

XmStringSegmentCreate(library call)									       XmStringSegmentCreate(library call)

NAME

       XmStringSegmentCreate -- A compound string function that creates a compound string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>
       XmString XmStringSegmentCreate(
       char * text,
       XmStringTag tag,
       XmStringDirection direction,
       Boolean separator);

DESCRIPTION

       This  function is obsolete and exists for compatibility with previous releases. It can be replaced by using a combination of XmStringCompo-
       nentCreate and XmStringConcat.  XmStringSegmentCreate is a high-level function that assembles a compound string consisting of a	font  list
       element tag, a direction component, a text component, and an optional separator component.

       The  function  allocates  space	for  the  returned compound string.  The application is responsible for managing the allocated space.  The
       application can recover the allocated space by calling XmStringFree.

       text	 Specifies a NULL-terminated string to be used as the text component of the compound string.

       tag	 Specifies the tag component to be associated with the text.  The value XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG is for compatibility with  previous
		 releases.

       direction Specifies the direction of the text.

       separator A  value  of False means the compound string does not have a separator at the end. A value of True, means a separator immediately
		 follows the text component.

RETURN

       Returns a new compound string.
