A few days later.
Healing magic class time.
Medium Frill stroked her wrist bone and said.
Just a moment ago, Medium's wrist, which had been bent backward and completely broken, had returned to its normal state as if nothing had happened.
"Okay, understood? This is how you treat fractures. It's different from cuts or bruises. If the bone is set incorrectly when you first heal it with healing magic, things get really complicated then. You'll have to go to the Royal Medical Center for surgery to fix it. Got it?"
"Yes!"
The students answered loudly.
The voices of the female students were occasionally heard, but they were almost drowned out by the loud voices of the male students.
Medium Frill, who stabbed her own arm with a dagger during the first class, did things that made the students' mouths drop open during every practical lesson.
Today, she pulled her wrist back, completely breaking it, and then cast healing magic on herself.
Beautiful appearance and outstanding skills.
Overwhelming charisma that doesn't spare her own body.
Medium Frill had become an idol to the male freshmen not long after she took temporary charge of the freshman class due to Professor Raoul's absence.
"Good. I like how energetic your answers are. That's it for today's class. And about the mid-term practical exam. You don't all have to bend your wrists backward, but if a student confidently bends their wrist and completely heals it with healing magic, they'll get a perfect score for the second semester, regardless of their written exam score."
This time, a loud answer did not erupt.
To break your own wrist and then heal it.
It's impossible.
In the first place, most of the students can't even heal simple wounds yet.
Still, some students who are applying to be healing mages had shining eyes.
Among them, the most shining eyes belonged to Luna Fueri.
'I don't necessarily want to get a perfect score... I want to be recognized by Medium-sensei once again!'
Luna nudged Davian's arm.
"Davian."
"Why? Luna."
"During the mid-term exam... can you twist my wrist for me?"
"What?"
"I think I can heal it with healing magic, but I don't have the confidence to break my own wrist..."
Davian stared at Luna's face.
'How admirable.'
'That's right. That's how you grow.'
'And twisting a wrist is no big deal.'
"Okay."
"Hic."
"What? You asked me to twist it."
"You answered too easily..."
"It's all for your growth, Luna. You said you'd become a great healing mage like your father."
"Th, that's right."
Latia, who was sitting next to Davian on the other side, was also touching her wrist this way and that.
Davian asked.
"Latia, can you treat fracture injuries with healing magic? Should I twist your wrist too?"
"What?"
"It'd be hard to do it yourself, right?"
"No thanks. I haven't practiced healing magic that much. I can't heal fractures. I'm too busy practicing the four elemental magics."
"I guess."
It's too much to expect that much from Latia, who isn't even a healer.
It doesn't matter anyway since she's growing into a more perfect sub-dealer than ever before.
At that time.
Karin, who was sitting behind them, nudged Davian's back.
"Davian."
"Why?"
"Break my wrist during the mid-term exam too."
"Why you too? And do you even know how to use healing magic?"
"What, you think the Royal Magic Department's secret project was child's play?"
"Oh, impressive. But why? What are you going to do with a perfect score? Isn't your purpose to monitor me anyway?"
"Since I came to the academy anyway, I have to show them. What the difference is between me and the academy students."
She still seems to be upset about being kicked out of the Royal Magic Department.
So she's going to show off her skills to her heart's content now.
"Sure, go ahead. I'll break your wrist bone clean in the next class."
"...Thanks."
Davian looked forward again without thinking much of it.
Luna's attention was already on Medium-sensei, who was organizing the teaching materials.
But one person.
Latia couldn't help but be bothered by the conversation between Karin and Davian a moment ago.
'What is it? A royal secret project or secret weapon or something. She even mastered healing magic? Davian said her psychokinesis is no joke either.'
Davian is a freak, so that's one thing.
Latia's chest started to burn hot again.
'But what did she say? She's going to show them what the difference is between her and the academy students?'
Of course, she didn't think she would lose to Karin.
Davian alone is enough to make her think that way.
'Alright, let's see. How much of a difference there is between the academy and the secret weapon.'
While Latia was resolving to have a showdown with Karin.
Medium Frill, who had gathered all the teaching materials, went down from the platform.
"Davian."
"Yes, sensei."
"Follow me to the infirmary."
"Yes."
Davian quietly stood up from his seat.
Luna asked.
"Why? Again? What's wrong?"
"Oh. I think it's time for my medicine."
"Time for your medicine?"
"Something like that."
As he left the classroom, Medium Frill was waiting and standing there.
"You know why I called you, right?"
"Of course. What took you so long."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Let's go quickly."
Entering the infirmary, Medium took out a potion box from deep in the shelf.
It was the box she had seen once half a year ago.
★★★ star item.
=====
[Recovery Skill Buff Potion]
―Rarity: ★★★
―Increases the level of recovery and regeneration skills.
―Can raise the level of one of the recovery and regeneration skills with each dose.
―Can be taken a maximum of 2 times per year
―Upon taking a cumulative total of 10 doses, one of the recovery and regeneration skills can be evolved into an ‘Advanced Skill’.
=====
"It's already been half a year, Davian."
"I guess so."
"Time flies so fast. Doesn't it?"
Slow.
It's too slow.
In order to evolve 'Blessing of the Hydra' into an advanced skill, he has to take it 9 more times, and if he drinks one every half year like this, it'll take 5 years.
"Sensei."
"Hm?"
Medium opened the potion box.
A box with a total of 10 potions luxuriously contained on velvet cloth.
He drank one during the first semester, so there are 9 left.
"Can't we shorten the consumption period for this? It'll take 5 years to eat them all."
"Davian, you...?"
Medium looked at Davian with surprised eyes.
'...How did he know?'
Medium was actually more impatient.
She wanted to see Davian's constitution change as quickly as possible.
Medium rummaged through the magic tower library and the Royal Medical Center library all vacation.
She even asked a senior from the Royal Magic Department to look into the royal library's old books.
She referenced and researched over 100 papers.
As a result.
"Wait a minute, Davian."
Medium walked back to where the shelves were lined up.
She took out another box from a place that was higher and deeper than the box from a moment ago.
"I've been researching all vacation to try to shorten the potion consumption period. See the white hair here? I got white hair at this age, you know?"
While fussing, there were three or four white hairs around the hair Medium was touching.
"So is this a new potion?"
"Yeah. The one you drank before was a potion made according to the 'Report on the Manufacturing Method and Clinical Trial of Human Constitution Change Drugs Based on Troll Regeneration Cell Research' and I made it exactly as it said..."
Medium opened the new box.
"...This is what I made. Of course, I didn't completely develop it from scratch without the original potion manufacturing method, but anyway, you can say that this potion contains all of my research results so far."
Davian lowered his head and looked at the potions in the new box.
A total of 9.
They look similar but...
Tting.
=====
[Medium's Potion]
―Rarity: ★★★★
―Increases the level of recovery and regeneration skills.
―Can be taken once a month
―Upon taking a cumulative total of 10 doses, one of the recovery and regeneration skills can be evolved into an ‘Advanced Skill’. (Includes the number of times the same type of item 'Recovery Skill Buff Potion' has been taken)
―Caution: Will fall into an abnormal state for one day upon consumption
=====
The other effects are the same.
But the consumption period has been reduced from half a year to one month.
Besides, it includes the already consumed 'Recovery Skill Buff Potion' in the cumulative 10 times.
That means he'll be able to evolve the 'Blessing of the Hydra' skill into an advanced skill in 8 months.
The caution is a bit concerning but.
"But Davian. This gives your body too sudden of a change, so there may be some temporary side effects."
Davian reached out for the new potion.
Falling into an abnormal state for a day is nothing.
It's worth putting up with.
There aren't any particularly important quests before the mid-term exam.
Davian picked up the potion.
"Are you sure you're okay even though it might hurt a lot? Ah! Of course, the side effects are only temporary. I checked and double-checked."
Davian also checked through the notification window.
Medium's expression actually looked more uneasy.
"I didn't take it out even after making it because of those side effects..."
What.
If you had told me sooner, I would have drank a few more bottles by now.
Too bad, but well, starting now.
Medium grabbed Davian's wrist as he tried to open the potion cap and drink it.
"Are you sure you'll be okay? How about just drinking the original one?"
"That'll take too long. 5 years is too long."
"Still. This might hurt a lot..."
"It's okay. I'll just take a good rest here in the infirmary for a day. I've been a bit tired lately anyway."
"R, really?"
"Yes."
Coincidentally, he's in the infirmary right now.
Besides, next to him is healing magic master Medium Frill.
'If I have to fall into an abnormal state for a day, there's no place more suitable than here.'
He doesn't know what kind of abnormal state it will be.
But it's only for a day at most.
At worst, he'll be unconscious for a day.
Coincidentally, there are no classes tomorrow.
Gulp.
Davian drank the potion in one gulp.
Tting.
=====
[Blessing of the Hydra Skill Level Increased]
―Previous: Lv.28
―After increase: Lv.33
=====
The Blessing of the Hydra skill level increased by 5.
The same effect as the last potion.
'Good. I'll take this once a month from now on...!'
Tududuk.
The sound of bones shattering was heard.
He didn't know if it was a real sound from his bones or an illusion.
There was no way to worry about that because the pain that was engulfing Davian's entire body was too severe.
"Keuek!"
Crimson blood burst from his mouth.
Thump thump thump thump.
His heart started beating like crazy.
"Keuaaa...!"
He could feel the blood spreading to every blood vessel in his body due to the pumping of his heart.
And.
All of this was pain.
It felt like every blood vessel in his body was bursting every time his heart beat.
Having lived the 4th life, this was the first time he had experienced this level of pain.
It was not something that he could handle with willpower at all.
"Keuek! M, Medium...!"
Medium grabbed Davian's body and shouted.
"Davian! Davian! Are you okay?"
"Not oka... Keuek!"
This time, all the muscles in his body constricted Davian's body.
"This... crazy..."
Medium was shouting something, but he couldn't hear it properly anymore.
Nothing else came into his increasingly blurry vision.
'Am I going to die like this...?'
Just as he was thinking that.
Davian passed out just like that.
