Chapter 65: Astellia (5)
As the tower master, Glirios, gave his final words of guidance and left the training hall, a moment of stillness filled the space.
Shortly after, Ria, the last to receive her lesson, approached Leon. From the looks of it, she had learned a new aspect of light attribute magic, particularly healing spells, which were characteristic of high-level light magic.
Leon, prompted by a sudden thought, asked, “Ria, do you think it's possible to erase traces of mana from an injury?”
Ria looked puzzled. “What do you mean?”
“I heard that even when a wound is healed, there can still be traces of mana left behind.”
Worry immediately filled Ria’s face. “Did someone hurt you, Leon?”
Leon hesitated, choosing his words carefully. If he mentioned the high-level insight witch, Ria would only worry more.
Sighing, Ria said, “Traces of mana remaining after healing... that’s only possible with advanced magicians, right? You got involved in something dangerous again, didn’t you?”
There was no avoiding it. Leon ended up explaining in detail about the injury caused by the witch. He couldn’t hide the truth if he wanted proper healing.
“If it’s that kind of mana trace... I won’t be able to remove it until I reach at least the level of forbidden magic.”
“Forbidden magic...” Leon muttered. It could take Ria at least three years to reach that level.
“I’ll train even harder,” she said, her resolve clear.
