"Croix? Are you sure you can find him?" Dekan asked.
"He should be in the dormitory, ow! He rarely goes out!" In pain, Teacher Cat struggled in Dekan's arms.
Dekan furrowed his brows. At first, he thought Croix was the na of a teacher. It turns out it's a student. Achieving tier 6 at such a young age is truly impressive. Considering that this self-proclaid teacher cat was only tier 5.
"How do I find him?"
"Go to the male dormitory of the Mage College, ow! Fourth floor, Room four! ow!"
"Got it."
So, guided by Teacher Cat, Dekan arrived at room 404 of the Mage College.
"Knock, knock."
Dekan knocked on the door. Even though he hadn't seen the owner of this dormitory yet, Dekan had already developed so goodwill toward him just from seeing the room number. It seems like they're fated to et. However, Dekan couldn't help but feel puzzled. Living on the fourth floor, could he be a freshman? According to the dormitory rotation rules, before they enroll, the seniors from the previous year that graduated vacated the fourth and fifth floors. So, most of the new students this year will be living on those two floors. It's highly unlikely that Croix, at tier 6, was a new student. So, was he a third-year student who repeated a year?
Dekan stood outside the door, pondering. He heard footsteps inside. They were gradually becoming clearer. Soon, the door was opened by a young man with brown hair. He had delicate features and eyes with slightly droopy corners that gave him a gentle appearance.
"Hello... Are you Dekan?"
The brown-haired young man was first surprised when he saw Dekan, then his surprise was replaced with confusion. He must be Croix, the one Teacher Cat had ntioned.
"Croix, hurry and save , ow!"
Without waiting for Dekan to explain, Teacher Cat imdiately pounced on Croix, who was taken aback and clumsily caught it.
"...Cat Teacher, what trouble have you gotten into this ti?"
"This idiot sohow poisoned in a way that purification magic can't cure! I'm poisoned, I'm going to die, ow!"
Teacher Cat complained noisily.
Dekan coldly snorted, "You stupid cat, you sneaked into my dorm to steal food and then bla , huh?"
If it weren't for its sowhat cute appearance, Dekan would have summoned his Ruined Poet.
"Dekan, I'm really sorry. This cat is the quirkiest teacher in our Mage College. You've been through a lot... After I cure it, you can scold it as much as you want."
Croix was about to return to his dormitory to find the "Forced Dispel" spell card but hesitated.
"By the way, Dekan, did you happen to have made the poison that poisoned Teacher Cat into a spell card?"
"Yes."
"Can I borrow it?"
Dekan didn't hesitate and handed "Alternating Poison 1.0" to Croix.
After receiving the card, Croix had no intention of searching for "Forced Dispel" anymore. He imdiately used "Alternating Poison 1.0" on Teacher Cat.
"What are you doing?" Dekan was surprised by Croix's actions. But soon, his expression beca one of astonishnt. He saw that when Croix applied "Alternating Poison 1.0" to Teacher Cat, the cat imdiately relaxed.
"Phew, saved, ow."
Teacher Cat jumped down comfortably, closed its eyes, and raised its head as if it were savoring the sweet scent of the air. It had fully regained its vitality and quickly ran into Croix's dormitory, seemingly with the intention of plundering food.
Seeing this bizarre scene, Dekan held his head in confusion. "What's going on..."
He had a feeling of faith collapsing. It would be one thing for Alternating Poison to be dispelled, but why would Alternating Poison be canceled by another Alternating Poison? What kind of ga-breaking bug was this? After thinking for a while and finding no explanation, Dekan grabbed Croix's shoulder.
"How did you neutralize this poison?"
Croix seed accustod to Dekan's expression and explained with a wry smile, "It's because I carry the blessing of a deity—any spell damage caused by will be converted into healing. Curse magic and poison magic, if used by , will be transford into their respective dispelling and detoxification effects."
"Is that so..." Dekan muttered absentmindedly. So Croix was this kind of unconventional mage.
After so thought, he asked again, "Even if the poison just now was a combination of two enhancent states, you can still eliminate it?"
"The blessing works based on the outco."
Dekan's mood instantly darkened considerably. This bug couldn't be fixed. It was essentially a cheat.
But then he thought of sothing and suddenly looked up at Croix.
"If you use your ability to heal others, will they still feel pain?"
"Most of the ti, yes. They have to endure the pain directly hit by the spell... So, in general, I avoid using this ability to heal my companions."
Croix seed to recall so unpleasant mories, and his expression showed a hint of reluctance.
Dekan looked at Croix, his eyes shining more brightly. He shouted excitedly, "Croix, your ability is really amazing! It's like having an angel on our team! I want to team up with you and explore the Shadow Worlds together!"
"Huh?" Croix widened his eyes, showing a surprised expression. He seed to be questioning whether this was a dream. He had never expected soone to invite him to explore the Shadow Worlds again, especially not soone as prominent as Dekan.
Croix: "Why..."
Dekan: "Our team just so happens to need a... healer! You are undoubtedly the best choice for us!"
If they could have Croix's assistance, no matter how Dekan and Cornelia tortured their enemies, they wouldn't kill them. Healing could bring even greater tornt! It might even make the enemies endure 60 tis the pain of healing while remaining conscious. Croix was undoubtedly the best candidate to beco their interrogator!
"..." Croix remained silent for a long ti. He seed to smile with so helplessness, and then his expression turned bitter as he said, "I'm sorry, Dekan, I really appreciate your invitation, but I can't harm you."
"Don't worry, Cornelia and I rarely need your healing. You'll be responsible for healing those who need it."
"Sorry, I really can't agree."
"Are you already in a fixed team?"
"No."
"Then our Team Beautiful Heart is undoubtedly your best choice! When Cornelia and I reach tier 4, we can all team up."
