Novel Full Chapter 115
—–
It has been a week since the Wild Boar hunt, and the Hunters that participated were still recovering. Despite how much I healed them, some were still too exhausted, and they required rest. Even more, there is a secret behind my healing magic which is also the reason why people that are healed from near death feel so exhausted.
The reason being that healing magic enhances the metabolism of the body and makes cells duplicate at a rapid pace, this means that lifespan is slowly cut off a person’s body, and they slowly grow more tired, this can be recovered as they rest over time until they reach their full condition, but healing magic causes such things, the constant duplication of cells makes it so the body requires more calories and enters into a pseudo comatose state if the person doesn’t eat enough food.
Thankfully everyone ate a lot of meat that night from the wild boar, so they got enough fats and calories to make their bodies resist the burden, although many were still recovering up until now. Of course, there is way more than just physical damage and the physical burden, there is also the mental burden of the stress they went through and more… All of this is accumulated, so it is obvious they’re tired.
Nonetheless, I shouldn’t think too much about these people, I had a good relationship with them and they’re acquaintances, but I cannot develop my bonds too much with others than my family and friends… Growing attached to this towns people might not be good if I end up having to run away. I know I’ve thought about protecting them, and I did so in our hunt, but I cannot bring this to a bigger scale than that…
This entire week I’ve been practicing my Magic and training my Skills, I discovered that doing exercise increased the skill proficiency of Acrobatics and Robust Body, while practicing magic constantly increased the skill proficiency of Gifted Magic Apprentice, all three of these Skills are soon to Level up because of how much I workout while multi-tasking into conjuring magic, an arduous work, but thanks to using Qi to replenish my stamina, I can do this for prolonged periods of time.
Robust Body granted 1 point of skill proficiency ever sit-up I did, and I required 10k, so I had to do 10k, I have been doing them for over the week, but I cannot get past a few hundred before collapsing, the body of a child is problematic in things like these, but I am quite healthy, so my stamina and magic capacity are developing at a rapid pace.
Through this week, I’ve been mostly going around town and healing people for some money, or food, or anything else they offered, I was a rather popular person at this point, but I always used magic to make myself slightly unrecognizable, so people wouldn’t be able to tell what was my true appearance… It is better this way because the priests of the Holy Spirit Church are constantly chasing me down, and they have begun to become better at finding where I am.
Well, if they’re so annoyed of my work, perhaps they should also go healing people for almost no pay, right? Oh, I guess that’s too much for them. Most Priests are often qualified as them as they got special abilities or magic that allows them to heal others, although there are also some that can support and deal strong damage, the church of the Holy Spirits often employs orphans as priests.
They’re in this town mostly just to judge new Talents for young children every year. They go healing people, but they often ask fees, which should be illegal because they’re supposed to work without lucrative interests, but in this town filled with uneducated serfs nobody is going to lecture a priest, they’re often figures of high authority.
Eleanora had been holding back the impulse of killing them as they chased us down, I have seen that I am already stronger than some of the weakest priests, and I could easily kill them if I used some cheap tactics, but there’s no point in that, even if killing them gave me EXP, I don’t want to make a fuss.
But Eleanora lacks a lot of self-restraint, so I have to keep her inside of my Spirit Orb, so she doesn’t go out of control… it is a bit annoying, but this is how it is. Aside from that, I have been working with Erika, Chris, and Eric, mostly helping them grow stronger while they helped me spar, which allows me to practice my fighting abilities, magic, and skills more proficiently. They’re becoming better.
And lastly… And lastly, I was here, sitting over the dirt as I used the Tier 1 Nature Magic Spell “Plant Growth” to enhance the growth of the plants of the farm. Yes, I’ve been doing this for a while. If I overuse this Spell, the plants might end up overgrowing and then drying out by overconsuming their own nutrients or end up turning into monsters if I infuse too much mana… who die after a bit anyways as well. So I cannot simply grow plants in an instant, what I do is give them a little “boost” every day, often taking around 10 minutes to enhance the plants of the farm with this Buff.
Over time, they had been growing over four times as fast, without any other incident or problem, this is the limit of how much I can enhance plant growth without deteriorating the plants in the process or outright killing them. However, thanks to this, we have vegetables ready to eat or consume. The plants in this world are similar to some of the common plants I’ve seen humans raise in my previous life. Such as tomatoes, lettuce, potatoes, carrots, and more. However, there are some weird ones such as star-shaped carrot-like tubers named Star Dew, which are as sweet as fruit, these sold for quite a lot of money as they’re rare and hard to grow, so I’ve been selling them to make some extra side money.
