Due to what I did to the princess and her fiancee, I am quite sure that she already sent a command to the guard in the city to get a lookout on me after I left. It was expected to happen. I already told Ishana and Yami about this and since this involves in taking one of the heroes from their grasp, events like this will always be unavoidable.
The guy I rescued from the heroes is still unconscious but he is already safe and will not be in danger though his wounds are still not going to heal anytime soon unless he is healed. Seeing this situation will be frequent in another world, healing magic will be one of the magic spells essential for continuous survival.
"Blue, are you up?"
"I am always up. I don't need to sleep."
"Alright, can you search me a magic spell for healing purposes?"
"You are in luck, I am currently browsing the Healing Spells section as it got updated earlier by the management of spells. For a beginner, you can build up your mastery using the spells, [Heal] and [Wide Heal]. Both are same variants of heal spell but has different usage."
"An AOE and a single target spell, am I correct?"
"Yes, you are correct. If you want to use healing spells, this is the best way for you to properly utilize its usage. You need to properly master these two spells before advancing to the next circle of magic to avoid downgrading the effects and quality of your magic. You will also get familiar to the feeling of the spell whenever you use it and you will not feel troubled in the future once you get to use the magic spells of healing that has more than one magic circle."
After explaining some of the basic fundamentals in healing magic, she sent the info of how to learn the two magic spells, [Heal] and [Wide Heal], As for the more advanced healing spells with more potent power, Blue didn't share them yet as they are much more complicated than this one which is fine since I don't want to complicate myself with so many magic spells and many of my other spells I tried learning during the beginning are too niche to use now.
Just like what Blue said, the healing magic has distinct difference compared to the normal spells I learned before. It was a bit confusing to the feel at first but I slowly get the hang of it without problem and getting accustomed to it is much easier than I thought it would be, with the only exception of the [Wide Heal] as it needs much more better concentration to fully master compared to the first [Heal] which only needed slight focus. It took me two hours to master both spells.
"I still can't believe this. You just learned spells that should be not something you can learn in a single day!"
"Eh... It's not that hard. I don't know why you keep on saying that it is abnormal for me to learn spells like nothing. Maybe because I am compatible to all elements and spells?"
"That shouldn't be the case. There are plenty of people with the same affinity as you who are neutral to all elements and can learn different magic spells just like you. However, your learning time is what makes you different to the rest! Yours are just abnormal!"
I can only sigh on this. My learning progress might be too abnormal to others but to me, it seems like that is just the normal things to go my way. Without any way to explain my capabilities, I decided to just let it go for now and let it bother for later on. Its time to try my healing capabilities to the wounded guy.
Since [Heal] is not that potent since it is a low tier magic, I have to keep on using it repeatedly to keep its effects reach equally to the effects of a higher tier healing spell.
"[Heal]!"
His body barely changed anything but he is clearly recovering from some of his scratches that has not yet recovered, while some of his bruises lighten up from its previous violet marks before. When the little effects of [Heal] subsided, I cast [Heal] once again to his body. I repeated this a few more times to keep its effects potent.
It took me 30 minutes before his wounds has almost disappeared. Some of his wounds have formed scars and cannot be healed no matter how I try which means he will have to rely on recuperating from the wounds that formed scars.
He is now waking up from his slumber and his eyes flutter a bit as it struggles to open up. He rolled his head in the pillow a few times before he suddenly opened his eyes fully and rise up from the futon.
"Don't move yourself too much. Although most of your wounds have healed, your body has yet to recover from the bruises. I would suggest you rest a little bit more to let your body recover a lot faster, allowing you to return to your former form," I said to him as I give him a bottle of container.
"You… you are the guy from that time."
"Oh? You saw me? I thought you are having a hard time opening your eyes that time since it was too battered up."
He must have remembered his injuries and he touch his face and inspected his arms and abdomen. He even checked his legs and aside from some wounds which I mentioned earlier that can't be healed by normal [Heal] unless it is much more potent and a higher tier healing magic.
"My wounds are gone? What did you just do?"
"Isn't it obvious? I healed you. Your wounds are too heavy to ignore."
"Healed me? Did you use your ability on me?"
"More or less. Anyways, you should continue resting. I will stand guard outside."
"Wait! You are a fellow Japanese right? Are you perhaps also a summoned hero?"
I smirked when I heard him asked. "Me? A hero? Hahaha, what a joke. Don't lump me with those stupid heroes, also I am not summoned, I came here. Now enough questions and answers, go rest now or I will stop answering your questions even if you have already recovered."
After that, I left the tent and closed it. Things will be busy for me later once he got enough rest as I needed to answer his questions later on.
When I got out of the tent, Kon and Aria arrived carrying a few boar-looking creature with them.
"Master! I hauled a beast after hunting a little bit! We can now eat some meat for later!" Kon said.
"I also helped out too you know!" Aria said proudly.
"Good job you two, we will have some meat fest later for dinner."
Kon and Aria are clearly elated when they heard that. The moment Kon dropped the carcass, I cleaned it up, skinned it and after that, I store everything including the bones of the boar to the Mimic bracelet for consumption and other usage later.
Around sunset, Yami and Ishana arrived carrying a few bags of supplies.
"How is the princess when you confronted her for the target?" Ishana asked after putting down the bags on the ground.
"Hmm, how should I put this… she is a typical aristocrat, I think?"
"Typical?"
"She has the tendency to look down on others the moment her eyes landed on someone. She also seemed indifferent to the pain and suffering on the people who has a lower status than her, in short she is not a good ruler in the future."
"Did you test whether they are capable of using magic?"
"I did. They are pathetic and just like the priests on that church, they are also using the accursed Philosopher's stones though this time, instead of using it directly, they use it to power up their weapons. It is also the weapons of the heroes summoned in another world too," I explained.
Yami shook his head and rub his glabella. "Looks like my judgment is right this time. Just from looking at that woman, I can tell she is a wolf in a sheep's clothing. She looks elegant but I have doubts on her. Anyway, how is the target doing?"
"He is resting after suffering too many wounds on the hands of the bodyguards of the princess and her fiancee. I had to beat up some of the guards and a few guys just to bring this guy off from them. I already know I am in trouble the moment I did those things to the guards though I am already prepared for the consequences of all my actions."
"Before we left this afternoon, the guards are posting wanted posters with your face crudely drawn. Although you won't be found by them using the posters, we should just go to another place."
"I see, that is a shame but this is what I should do on my job," I scratch my head.
"Anyways, should we sent him back to Earth?" Yami asked.
"Unfortunately, we cannot do that. He has awaken his magic power. He is now on the doorstep to become a magician."
