Rain's explanation surprised Orcis… he didn't look like he imagined that the enemies would be able to pull that off. Still, it was sothing that had limitations… range was probably one of them, so using that combination on wars wasn't probable.
"I see… I will do so investigation considering all this," Orcis said while rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "You should go and rest as well, you can at least leave this to ."
"All right," Rain said and then he headed to his room.
Rain had a few things to do as well, so he welcod that. In truth, Rain wasn't that tired since he didn't use much mana, but he looked like that since he was lost in thought.
"So, spells like that exist, huh?" Rain thought when he opened the door of his room. "I never heard of a tribe of magic people that can do this… and for them to show up now and like this… sothing is off here."
Rain used his magic and then condensed a small sphere of air, and made it explode. A small breeze of wind spread across the area and then he nodded… he could do the sa thing, but how well?
That kind of spell could co in handy, but it was a bit different than what the enemies used. Rain didn't see any fireball with them, so they cast a spell that stayed on the enemies in the form of mana until they were activated. It was a spell with delayed effect… that definitely could be useful in combat and definitely could make Rain learn other things related to it.
"For now, I don't need it, but since I got the Sage's path and I can use more mana to enhance spells, maybe it is about ti to learn so support magic," Rain thought. "This counts as support, right?"
Until now, Rain had used magic to support him in many ways, but not the most common way since he didn't know how to use his mana to enhance his paraters… It was weird since support was supposed to be one of the first things a healer should learn.
Trying to control his mana in so parts of his body didn't work or make it burn inside him wasn't possible either… Now that Rain thought about it, he didn't hear much about support magic at all.
"I need to do so research before wasting mana blindly," Rain thought.
When morning ca, Rain left his room to do his work, but soon he learned that Lorene was in her room and she asked to have breakfast there since she wasn't feeling well. Julie helped her with that, things worked like that because Orcis was out of the house doing his investigation.
"She didn't sleep at all tonight," Julie said when she left the room. "For people that had never been on the battlefield, the first ti they see soone really trying to kill them is shocking…"
Rain wasn't so sure about that, he experienced sothing similar on the day of the invasion, but he didn't get like that… it was probably because on the very first day he was born, he learned that he might lose things pretty easily if he is weak. Lorene never thought of that before.
"She will overco it, unless she wants to cancel the whole marriage thing," Rain said.
Julie didn't react to those words. Now that Rain thought about it, she wasn't acting that hostile anymore… probably because he showed his skills and he wasn't all talk. In any case, Julie didn't look like she wanted things to end in such a convenient way in her favor.
In any case, it was useful for Rain if she stayed in her room for a while, but he didn't feel so bad when she left it at noon while looking like she had seen better days. Still, after resting on the garden for a while, she began to look better.
"I always knew that such a thing was common… poison, assassination, betrayals," Lorene said while looking at the sky. "Nobles dying thanks to such a things is pretty common in tis of war, but I never thought that such a thing would actually happen to ."
"I guess that ans that you are naively optimistic," Rain said. "It is half bad and half of a good thing."
"Since you are from Tristan, I guess seeing people trying to kill and dying in front of you doesn't faze you," Lorene said and then sighed.
"All deaths can't affect , I wouldn't last for long if that were to happen," Rain shrugged. "Still, that doesn't an that I don't sigh in relief after the battles and confirm that we won and I achieved my goals."
Rain didn't want to admit it, but he felt better when he confird that his closest allies survived than about the victory. Winning or losing didn't matter as long as you can try again the next ti and learn from your mistake. Rain knew that as long as there is life, things change for the better, after all.
"Goals, huh?" Lorene asked. "I guess my goal is survival, but it is annoying since it isn't sothing that I can secure on my own. I suppose I should start helping Branden crush the guys who are trying to kill us."
Lorene showed a cold grin after saying that. Rain couldn't judge her way of coping with stress, but nobles sure tend to quickly follow the devious route… in any case, Rain wondered if the next ti they head to the dressmaker sothing will happen again.
After that, they will just have to stay in the port city for two more days and then they will be able to leave… still, much to his surprise, Lorene decided to leave the house a lot in the next few days… as if she was taunting the enemies to attack.
"I guess she must have gone insane…" Rain thought.
