Damned Healer

It was the start of the day at the Shadows of Heaven Academy. But there was no sun there to mark the passing of time. Still, everyone knew the difference between day and night. All you had to do was look at the nature around you.

During the day, the plants radiated a bright blue and violet light. That light not only warmed the place up but also made people feel like their bodies were being filled. And it wasn’t just a feeling — everyone’s life energies were actually getting a little stronger every second.

That planet and academy were special. A unique kind of vegetation had already spread across the whole planet and was still growing.

All the plants and natural lifeforms were different from normal ones because their source of energy and vitality was unique. From the ground flowed life energy, mind power, and soul power. That was the only energy source present — but the laws of that world seemed to always favor growth.

Pushed by those laws, the power of that universe quickly created mutations and adapted those plants. Even in universes without power, this kind of evolution happened too, but it took millions of years — and often, life didn’t last long enough for it to happen.

The plants born on this planet weren’t green. Instead, they had shades of violet and blue. All of them glowed intensely with soul power, mind power, and life energy. Some two-meter-tall trees had already popped up everywhere — they were new lifeforms that had adapted better and could absorb what was in the ground.

As these new types of plants learned how to use that energy better, they grew explosively and spread all over. Of course, that also happened thanks to the academy members, who helped spread their seeds and other parts to every possible corner.

All of this started happening after the academy leader disappeared, but his loyal vice-leader worked hard in his place.

After just five months, that once cold and barren planet was no longer the same. The air had become pleasant, and the climate was way more welcoming.

In the sixth month, Endi finally managed to create an emblem connected to the formation of both academies. With that, Ruoku used the link to return to that other galaxy.

The current rulers of Celestia Academy had been placed there by Darian, so they quickly helped Ruoku establish trade between the galaxies.

Ruoku also handed over the B- and A-rank martial arts, just like Darian had ordered. With that, everyone at the academy got excited, and for now, they were satisfied and didn’t cause any trouble.
