Chapter 105

Chapter 105

When I was young, my grandmother or mother used to do this. If I had a stomach ache, they would gently rub my belly while singing grandmas hand is a healing hand.

Childhood memories came rushing back.

The wrinkled backs of his grandmothers hands and her palms were like magic hands. No matter what hurt or where it hurt, if his grandmother would gently caress him, the pain vanished as if by magic.

So this skill, My Hand is a Healing Hand, could be the perfect skill for my current situation. Cant I get a little preview or description?

That would certainly aid in making a selection. Just as he pondered, a new message appeared.

Raciel clenched his fist.

His intuition was correct.

There was no more reason to hesitate.

Good. Select!

Based on the description, it was evident. This skill was closely related to anesthesia. With conviction, he chose the My Hand is a Healing Hand skill.

Ding Dong!

[You have selected skill number 7: My Hand Is a Healing Hand.]

[Cost to unlock skill (3rd time): 4,500 HP]

[Do you wish to unlock this skill? YES/NO]

What? 4,500 HP?

The cost left him speechless.

So unlocking this will deplete all my HP at once?

He hesitated for a moment.

Originally, he planned to unlock My Hand is a Healing Hand, check its options, and then maybe unlock acupuncture or other skills. But that seemed impossible now.

All the HP Ive gathered so far is just 4,900. If I unlock one skill, Ill be drained. No more chances left.

What should he do? Should he proceed and unlock My Hand is a Healing Hand?

Other skills like acupuncture probably have lots of useful features too. But are they related to anesthesia?

No guarantee.

So, it would be the wisest choice to invest in My Hand is a Healing Hand, which has at least some relevance to anesthesia.

Lets go!

After a brief but intense moment of reflection, Raciel confidently selected YES.

Ding Dong!

[Your experience in caring for patients has been transformed into a skill.]

[The My Hand Is a Healing Hand skill has been unlocked.]

[Your remaining HP: 400]

All the diligently saved HP had been depleted, replaced by a new skill.

[Skill Name: My Hand is a Healing Hand Lv.1]

[By gently stroking the targets body, you can alleviate pain. It can provide localized anesthesia-level pain relief. The intensity, range, and duration of anesthesia will increase with skill level growth. (Activation condition: Must continuously and accurately chant the spell My hand is a healing hand~ My hand is a healing hand~ Eh Hey Ya~. Note: If the spells tune is not clear and melodious enough for the anesthesia subject and others nearby to hear, the anesthesia effect will be nullified.)]

Ive done it!

The bold choice he made resulted in a skill called Healing Hands. Raciel, who had carefully read the entire description, silently cheered. His hunch had proven correct. This immediate anesthetic skill was indeed reliable.

Furthermore, the effect was astounding.

This can be applied on the spot with just bare hands, without any drugs or tools. Essentially, my hand has become a portable anesthesia device.

Raciel was amazed.

That wasnt the only astonishing aspect.

Theres no danger associated with the anesthesia either. When administering anesthesia in a hospital, the patients weight and health condition must be checked, and the medication amount must be carefully adjusted; otherwise, it could lead to a medical accident. But with this, all I need to do is touch.

Even the conditions for the anesthesia to wear off were straightforward. He just had to stop touching!

My hands are healing hands. My hands are healing hands.

?

His side felt peculiar, as if the pain were slowly fading away.

Whats happening?

Initially, he thought it was a hallucination.

He was on the verge of becoming incensed at the military officer who had abruptly begun rubbing his side and singing a strange tune. Was this how they mocked someone who was dying without treatment? He was on the brink of losing his temper.

But then, out of nowhere.

Completely unexpectedly.

His side no longer hurt.

Whats going on

Ever since he had been struck by the arrow and had it crudely removed, his side had been in constant agony, a burning pain that persisted all day.

But now, the pain had dramatically lessened!

It was definitely not a hallucination!

What in the world What did you just do?

He couldnt help but inquire. The portly military officer responded with an enigmatic smile.

My hands are healing hands~ Hows that? Does your side still ache? My hands are heeeeeealing hands~

Uh it doesnt hurt its still a bit sore, but its much better than the burning pain I had before. How did you do this?

Theres a way. My hands are healing hands~ My hands are heeeaaaling haands~ Eh Hey Ya~

Injured soldier Tieri sealed his lips.

It was real.

He didnt understand the secret, but the pain vanished as the plump military officer rubbed his side. It was undeniable. He owed this officer his gratitude.

Tieri involuntarily swallowed his dry saliva. A smile played on Raciels lips.

It worked! This skill definitely has an effect.

In fact, while massaging Tieris side, he was discreetly pinching the surrounding area with his other hand. It wasnt a gentle pinch; it was firm enough to leave a bruise and a mark.

But the injured soldier remained unaware of this. This indicated that the skills effect was exceptional.

This should confirm it.

He grew more certain.

He raised his head.

Gardin?

Yes, your Hig Uh, I mean, my lord.

Anesthesia is complete. Lets proceed with the surgery. First, we need to clean and stitch the wound that hasnt been properly treated.

Ah, alright.

Gardin quickly began preparing for the surgery. Meanwhile, Raciels calming gestures and peculiar tunes continued.

The expression on injured soldier Tieris face relaxed as he was liberated from the pain. The apprehension he had felt about the impending surgery disappeared.

And among the medical staff in the camp

Did you see that?

Yeah, I saw it.

So, that guy, he made the person in pain not feel it with just his hands, right?

Seems like it.

So thats what weve only heard about

Its a miracle. That officer performed a miracle!

The divine miracle, something that only a very few chosen saints could accomplish. The misconception(?) that Raciel had performed such a miracle began to circulate among the soldiers.
