Book 12: Chapter 50
Mommy Vyvyan placed a cup of tea in front of me. Curious, she said, “What’s wrong, Son? I heard you came to have me give you a check-up. Isn’t it better to come at night for this sort of stuff? It’s a bit sudden. Mommy actually needs to make some preparations.”
In a serious tone, I replied, “That’s not it, Mom. I came just for a body check-up, serious. Freya felt there might be something wrong with me, so I came to have my mana examined. I think the only thing I could have problems with is mana.”
Vyvyan touched my head. With a smile, she said, “Mana problem? Son, it’s very unlikely for you to have a problem with your mana, because you practically don’t expend mana; it’s impossible for you to experience lack of mana. In addition, virtually all of your mana is messy, so it shouldn’t be any messier. Therefore, your mana will be fine. Of course, I’ll check for you.”
Mom pointed to the bed: “Son, sit over there on the bed; then remove your upper-body clothing and then face your back to me. I’ll see if your mana is normal or not.”
I followed Mom’s instructions. I went over to sit on the bed, removed my clothing on my torso and faced my back to Mom. I earned a lot more wounds on my arms, chest and back after coming to this world. Fortunately, I didn’t have anything on my back. I hadn’t been betrayed and stabbed in the back, literally, yet.
Mom walked over and pressed her hand onto my back. I didn’t know what Mom could see; but nonetheless, I could seemingly feel a strange energy circulate inside my body. I didn’t know what the energy was doing. It seemed to be checking the paths in my body were normal or not.
A short moment later, Mom removed her hand and sat down next to me. She explained, “There’s no problem, Son. Your mana is fine. Still, as Mommy said, your body is still very weak. It won’t affect your daily life, but remember to never use magic again. You can’t control your power. Mommy is being serious. Son, did you come to have me check you because you’re unwell?”
I nodded. I hesitated for a moment before shaking my head: “I don’t feel unwell. It was my sister, Freya, who thought I looked bad. That’s why I came to have you take a look; however, since you said there’s no problem with my mana, I guess it means the problem lies with my physical body.”
“Correct. If you were a human, you could say so. That being said, Mommy doesn’t think that you’ve caught a cold or whatever, because you’re not human. Thus, you won’t contract human diseases. You don’t have any sicknesses that elves suffer from, either; therefore, you should be very healthy right now.”
