It was a bit of a walk from the temple to the univeristy back gate and from there to the University clinic where the student was currently placed under the survaliance of three priests who were taking turns in watching over her.
The inside of the University Clinic was sa as any ward room of a normal hospital.
There were dozens of beds symtrically arranged on either side of the long hall, each bed provided with a open shelf table. Along with that, there was chart at the edge of the bed describing the condition of the patient on it.
Though unlike a normal clinic, here only one bed was occupied at the mont, that, of the student that caught that strange curse.
[That looks painful!](Elios)
As Noah moved closer to that student, he finally saw the glimpse of the girl in question.
Her green hair was a ss as she wriggled on the bed, barely able to contain the pain that was caused by the curse. The healing from the priest was also partially responsible for her to be able to bear with it.
She wore a white shirt over her black skirt, which was sothing typical for the students in the university to wear. Her tie was missing, probably because of her situation right now, and other than that, the only noticeable feature of her was her greenish erald like eyes that shone brightly, every ti she opened them up to see the situation around her.
"Saintess!!!"
One of the priests bowed while the other took over the tired priest’s position, as the one working up until now took a step back and fell on his butt on the side bed.
"How is her condition?"(Saintess Alicia)
"Sa as before, Saintess."
The bowing priest answered while Saintess Alicia moved closer to the girl and began healing her with one hand. She looked at the priest who just began healing and commanded in a low voice,
"Go and rest. All three of you."(Saintess Alicia)
The three priest nodded before slowly leaving from there, leaving the party alone with the girl.
"Can you do it?"(Saintess Alicia)
[Seems fine to .](Elios)
"Yeah."(Noah)
Noah moved his hand towards the green haired girl’s hand making her instinctively grasp Noah’s hand tightly. It was a slightly stronger grip than usual and Noah’s hand turned red imdiately, but he still didn’t let go.
He used the touch to analyze the curse spreading in the girl’s body. And as for the result...
[It’s worse than I thought. It’s a miracle she is even alive...](Elios)
Noah nodded silently in his mind at Elios’s words before continuing to analyze the entire pathway of the curse and its effects on that girl’s body
Strictly speaking, the curse had taken over more than 70% of her body, and a few more hours would have resulted in her total body collapse.
But that’s not exactly the worse thing.
It was that her entire organs were shifted. Her heart was near her neck, her stomach was below her pubic symphysis, he systemic arteries were now taking blood towards the heart. Her liver was broken into dozens of parts and scattered all around the body.
It was questionable both how she was able to bear the pain she was going through and also how was she even alive right now...
It was a total ss.
"This is a total ss..."(Noah)
Noah mumbled as he began slowly directing the curse to bring back the body to its original path. But he honestly didn’t trust that he can let the curse to restore this... puzzle.. that has been created.
Hence, he decided to do it slowly and manually himself.
That was the best sure fire way to save the girl’s life without any ifs and buts.
Noah manipulated the curse slowly enough to soothe the pain that the girl was suffering, while also restoring her body from different points.
Her heart was first. And the. Her brain right after.
Then her liver, kidneys, lungs, stomach...
Minutes turned into hours as the process kept going on the entire night.
And when things finally settled down...
[She looks peaceful.](Elios)
Noah wiped his sweat as he looked at the condition of that girl finally stabilising now. She was sleeping peacefully as all the tension has been wiped away, and as for Noah,
His entire body felt exhausted as he planted a miniature type of curse, similar to what the girl had there.
"I have done as I said so. I will be taking a leave now since I need to shower and prepare for the day."(Noah)
Noah spoke without batting an eye as he walked away from there.
The Saintess only smiled as she saw the ’curse’ planter In Noah’s body and how the light particles were essentially containing it, rendering it unable to spread in his body.
"Isn’t he truly a remarkable student?"(Aliana)
Aliana smiled from ear to ear while the Head Priest Markus stroked his beard before speaking,
"Professor Aliana. Give him another 100 Gold coins. And additionally to whatever he will ask for, get him the finest magic staff we can find for him."(Head Priest Markus)
"Add another 100 Gold from my side as well."(Saintess Alicia)
"Give him this ring."(Lucas)
Aliana chuckled as he saw the three of them smiling so brightly before she wondered what sort of gift she should prepare for her assistant.
What Noah did today was nothing sort of a sacrifice in the eyes of the gazers. He could have simply held back, and didn’t speak anything and nobody would have complained.
But he went out of his way to help this girl whom he didn’t even know, even taking her curse despite it being so grueso and cruel. And sohow, he sacrificed hours fully focusing on healing this girl whom he t for the first ti.
It was a rare form of kindness, sothing that is not common in the world of Zarraf anymore.
And here he was, bestowing such kindness without much in return.
"I guess, I can give him my grimoire?"(Aliana)
And Aliana humd as she walked towards her office, her mood clearly better than before.
