So how was it? Healing magic, I an.
It was amazing! To think the wound would really close up in a short ti like that. Oh, by the way, how much magic power is needed to cast the Heal spell? Uh, compared to sothing like, say, Fire Ball.
Lets see. It can be said that you need ten tis as much magic power needed for Fire Ball in order to cast the Heal spell.
Hm. It costs quite a lot of magic power, doesnt it? Oh, and why did you need to ask the patient before you casted the second Heal spell?
Its because having healing magic applied on you actually costs quite a lot. Did you notice that the wound still wasnt completely healed earlier? I could have healed it up completely, but didnt because the patient may not be able to afford it.
I see. So it was to ask if the patient only wanted the bones to be healed, or include the wounded flesh as well.
How much does it cost anyway?
My fee is normally a thousand Guineas per session. Im not sure how much they have to pay the nurse and doctor though.
It really was expensive. That amount would already allow one to stay at a high-class inn for ten days.
You may think its expensive, but that sort of injury would take at least a couple of months to heal up, right? With that in mind, paying for healing magic so one can quickly return to his or her job can be said to be more preferable for a lot of folks. Even more so for injuries like those that can easily get fixed up by the spell.
So there are so injuries you find trouble treating as well?
There are. In cases where the bones are crushed into small pieces or broken in a complicated way, there usually would be so lingering aftereffects even after treating them with Heal.
I see. That makes sense.
In the end, what I managed to observe earlier when the Heal spell was used was the bones and wound healing up as they were bathed in the light caused by the spell.
I thought analyzing it shouldnt be too hard before, but it exceeded all my expectations. It looks like replicating that effect would be difficult.
So, did that make you feel like buying a Heal magic to, perhaps?
A hint of expectation can be traced from the chiefs tone.
So, uh, how much does a Heal magic to cost anyway?
Cause you have the privilege of a mber discount, you can get it for the low price of 136,000 Guineas.
Expensive! Our money right now is just roughly 80,000 Guineas. It isnt enough at all. But its not like I have any intention of buying one even if I did have money. And anyway, the money is the funds of the entire party, so I cant use it without consulting Cleria and Elna first.
Its way over my budget. I need to save up quite a bit in order for to buy one.
I see. How unfortunate.
The chiefs expression clearly expressed her disappointnt.
When we arrived back at the Magic Guild, todays lesson finally started.
The lecture was finished by lunchti. The contents of todays lesson were the proper use and application of magic fluid, magic wires, and the like.
When I ca back to the inn and t up with the girls, I saw Elna dabbing a wet cloth on her cheek. It seems Cleria managed to hit her there with a wooden sword during their spar earlier. It was red and a bit swollen.
This is all due to my inexperience. I am truly sorry, Elna.
No, this is my fault for misreading your current skill with the sword, Ria-sama. To think that you have improved this much. So please lift up your head, Ria-sama. You should be proud of yourself for being able to hit a royal guard like .
Fortunately, it doesnt seem like Elna was in much pain. She insisted she was fine, so we still decided to go out of the city and head to the clearing we made use of as magic practice grounds yesterday.
After having our lunch at Tallys Place, we tried checking up on the Adventurers Guild, but found that no one has responded to the request yet. Well, I expected as much.
We finally reached the rocky area we went to yesterday. Cleria and Elna grabbed magic stones again in order to try extracting magic power from them, just like yesterday.
I mulled over the Heal spell I observed in the morning.
(Have you managed to analyze the process by which the spell this morning was able to initiate healing of the injury?)
Unable to analyze.
Yeah, I thought as much. It was just light shining down on the wound after all. No matter how I think about it, I cant imagine what sort of principle was used to initiate healing of the wound by just shining light on it.
(Right, what type of thod do you use to repair wounds anyway? It doesnt matter if its just the basics. Can you show so holo-vids on the subject?)
Video is ready.
Afterward, my surroundings changed. A huge close-up shot of a wound appeared before . This was a video record of the wound I made on myself via cutting my arm a while back, zood in to a large degree.
The mouth of the open wound grew larger and larger until I was swallowed up inside it. Yeah. It seems I entered the cut. Curiously, there was no blood gushing out of the wound. It was probably Nanom who filtered it out so I can have a clearer view.
I kept going deeper and deeper until I managed to reach the deepest part of the cut. I stopped falling, but the image in front of got larger instead. It continued zooming in until I was finally able to view things at a cellular level.
Within the deepest part of the cut, I was shown a cross-section of a cell that was enlarged to appear about one ter in length before . But of course the actual wound wouldnt look sothing like this. Im sure Nanom arranged it so I can easily understand the vid.
A maintenance bot then appeared. So this maintenance bot was prepared by Nanom? Im sure the nanomachines comprising Nanom dont really look like this for real.
The maintenance bot grabbed both halves of the cut cell and pulled them toward each other, and finally used so sort of adhesive substance to glue them back together.
Is that supposed to signify dicine? It was too taphorical that it turned into an educational vid aid at kids.
Another maintenance bot appeared and did the sa thing to another cell. More and more maintenance bots appeared, repairing more and more cells. They were so nurous in the end that I already lost count.
And then the image gradually zood out. I couldnt see the countless bots nding the cells now, and saw the wound gradually closing up instead.
The rate of the wound getting fixed sped up little by little. The speed of the wound closing up was faster than floating out of it. And in the instant I thought I would be swallowed by the flesh closing in on from both sides, I was pulled out of the wound all at once. Whew. That scared .
But that last part was clearly unnecessary, right?
It would have quite a lot of impact if the vid was paired with sound effects.
(Is this really how you do things?)
Of course not. But the video is mostly correct, figuratively speaking.
Was Nanom actually making fun of or sothing? Oh well.
Since I dont have any other references I can use, I guess I should just make do. Lets try it out then.
Ill form an image first. The maintenance bots rode on a stream of bright light and flew toward an open wound. Uh, of course maintenance bots dont ride light rays like this in real life. Shall I replace the image of light completely by maintenance bots? Nah, that just sounds weird.
Oh right! I should just turn the bots into light spirits! Cleria did ntion about her believing the existence of spirits if I rember correctly. It was sohow cute of her. It was very girly. Well, this planet very much felt like so sort of fantasy world anyway.
I changed the image. The spirits of light flew out toward the open wound along with the light beams. They were spirits of light, so I imagined their bodies to be like that of a space warship in the middle of warp intangible and without a definite physical form. Afterward, they gradually penetrated the wound.
Theyre spirits, so Im sure they had special dicine particular to the country of light that they co from. The cute light spirits took out the dicine from their pots and started applying them to the damaged cells in order to repair them.
After applying the special dicine, the spirits cheerfully pulled the two splits closer to each other in order to put them back together. The number of spirits increased the longer the light shone on the wound. Like that holo vid from earlier, the wound gradually closed up.
Nice. It feels like I can use this image.
(Were gonna try healing an injury.)
I took out one of the knives Beck gave to as a gift and cut my arm with it. It bled out a little and felt a bit painful, but the pain went away almost imdiately.
I had Nanom load the magicle charges. A [READY x10] notification soon appeared on the corner of my virtual HUD.
I tried repeating the image I created earlier inside my mind.
Heal!
Light was released from my palm aid at the wound on my arm and started shining on it. The tiny spirits began flying out toward the wound.
Ah, it kinda seems like I saw the cute spirits hard at work fixing up the damaged cells on the wound.
The cut gradually closed up. It finally disappeared completely after a short while as if it were never there in the first place.
Hey! I really did it man! Is this really okay!?
Well, I already did it, so its no use making a fuss about it now.
Co to think of it, I didnt really need to aim my palm at a wound in the first place. But it would seem weird if spirits suddenly appeared from mid-air or sothing, so I decided to go with the whole palm thing when casting Heal anyway.
Oh yeah, wasnt it possible for to heal up Elnas swollen cheek now? She was holding it in, but it still looked painful.
But I cant use the image of cell halves being pulled back together in her case though.
Ill try creating a different image in my head. The cute light spirits placed their dicine jars under their arms and started perating the cells of the injury. Once they found swollen cells, they would pull out the dicine jar under their arms and would start applying it to the cells. After a short while, the swelling of the cells finally disappeared.
Lets try with this image then. But will this really work? I wonder.
I cant use it on Elna without testing it out first, so I decided to bruise myself instead.
(Please shut off my left arms sense of pain.)
After confirming that the sense of pain was nullified, I took the knife again and hit the back of my hand with the handle.
Uwaa, I think I overdid it. It looked like a pretty painful bruise.
I had Nanom load the magicle charges and repeated the image I had from earlier inside my head.
Heal!
The reddish bump gradually settled down and completely disappeared a few monts later.
Great, I did ! I went and did it, oi. I had Nanom restore my sense of pain and confird that there were no problems.
Elna, can you co over here for a bit?
What is it, Alan?
Please stay still for a bit.
I stood in front of Elna after telling her not to move and raised up my palm. I placed it right next to her bruised cheek.
Elna turned red in embarrassnt for so reason and started mumbling softly. Cleria looked shocked and seed to want to say sothing.
Heal!
Light was released from my palm. Cleria and Elnas expressions started changing after seeing that.
Elnas bruise was healed up in no ti.
Do you feel any discomfort, Elna?
No. The pain in my cheek is entirely gone. Was that the Heal spell?
Youve beco able to use Heal, Alan!?
Yeah. Actually, the branch chief of the Magic Guild demonstrated the spell to this morning. It tried it out and managed to cast it successfully.
Haaa
Both of them made a big sigh and looked exasperated for so reason.
Cleria and Elnas magic reserves ran out soon, ending todays magic practice session. We then went back to the city afterward.
