Chapter 155

Ch . 155 Acquiring White Magic

A vulture is placed in front of me and Nina .

Both are barely 1 meter in length, and have ferocious looking nails . The eyes are big considering it’s from a bird, and it makes it quite creepy when it squints . There is no danger however, as it has a serious injury and should not be able to move properly . Both wings are also bound by fur .

Both were caught a little while ago with [[Kamaitachi]] . I had thought that something strange was watching me from above so when I looked up, the ball rabbit signaled me to act and I let it rush without fail . Both had a wound near the base of the wing .

[[[Harenae Condor]] : Rank E monster] [Condor that is only found in the desert of Harenae] [Powerless but cunning, attention to its actions is required as it is known to rob baggage and fly away with it] [The eggs are laid all over and left on their own, once the children hatch they hunt as a couple]

The children from the same nest become a couple and hunt together like that… .

What percentage of them could actually reach adulthood from such a breeding method in this desert?

They will perish one day .

So that’s why their habitat will never spread beyond Harenae . Child abandonment would be a problem no matter what world you’re in .

The bird is much smaller than me however, I also don’t think it is well enough to take off with the ball rabbit beside me . Especially since its focus is mainly directed towards catching corpses . I’ve heard somewhere that the bald head on vultures is used to prevent the spread of fungus on its hair when it’s eating . No wasn’t that defunct with the thermoregulation theory? Hmm, I guess I really shouldn’t care about these kinds of things anyway .

Anyway…the purpose of these birds in front of me and Nina is for the sake of practice on using [[Rest]] . The last time I had learned [[Rest]] for a brief amount of time was when I used it on Miria . I wonder if that was due to the decent image I had in my head of curing wounds . No matter how much I think of it though, I can’t see myself learning anything by just praying ‘rest rest’ with nothing in front of me .

It was also decided that I would not injure myself…so in the end the captured vultures would be our practice partners . It’s a bit cruel but it can’t be helped .

I check the status of the vulture placed in front of me .

Next, to check the one in front of Nina .

They both only have 5 HP? That makes it easier then I guess .

“pefu”

「For treatment of light wounds, clear mind . Necessary to stay focused . 」

Listening to the teacher Mr . ball rabbit, I adjust my focus back onto the vultures wound . It should be fine . I was able to do it once before, so if I remember the same feeling as back then, then I should be able to do it .

If I’m able to learn [[Rest]], then it may affect something in my next evolution . Seen as recovery magic is not suitable for evil dragons .

I should avoid any paths that may lead to a jabberwock . When I saw the description a while back after looking over status explanations, it is pretty much a walking catastrophe . Just by walking around you’ll build a mountain of corpses . I absolutely don’t want such a thing . I’m B rank right now, so it wouldn’t be strange if it popped out again . If by the time my evolution came and that was the only choice…let’s just say i’ll be in quite the funny situation . I need to work my best to collect good titles .

“guu”

I concentrate on remembering the feeling of using [[Rest]] and give a little shout . Although the vultures wound slightly shines, blood continued to flow . I checked the vultures status, and it actually went up to 6 HP now .

It only changed by one… .

When I think about it, back when I was a baby dragon it only restored by 3 in an hour . Does this have anything to do with me being a dragon? Hah…I still have plenty of MP left .

Recalling as I did the first time, I once again used [[Rest]] . That time I was desperately trying to use [[Rest]] on Miria who was collapsed on my back in the forest .

I closed my eyes and pictured myself as a baby dragon again . After opening my eyes, I superimposed Miria on the condor .

“pihiyaa! pihihihiwahiyaa!”

With bulging eyes the vulture cries out while wiggling around in its bonds . As I thought, it’s impossible to think that this crying angry bird is Miria . But by concentrating on the old days, I feel as if I grasped the feeling, even if only a little .

“guua”

I once again use [[Rest]] .

Although the one in front of me is a crying vulture, if I deceive myself and think otherwise, marking it is a dying child .

Suddenly, light started to soak into the vultures body .

Blood stops flowing out of the vultures wound and is soon blocked off .

“… . pihiya?”

The vulture stops struggling .

Oh, hey, are you dying on me?

Alright!

The bloodshed was cured…and its HP recovered by ten just like that .

[Normal Skill [[Rest: Lv1]] obtained]

It has been recognized as a skill .

It’s my first magic skill .

I want to raise its level quickly somehow .

[Title Skill [[Spirit Relief]] raised from Lv 7 to 8]

Finally, I got it up to Lv 8 .

[[Spirit Relief]] makes it easier to master [[Rest]], so I guess it’s thanks to [[Spirit Relief]] being a high level that I managed to learn [[Rest]], and [[Rest]] makes it easier to level up [[Spirit Relief]] .

It’s quite the loop .

Perhaps with this a holy dragon route will popup . A good and strong evolution choice is sure to come out next time .

When I looked over to my side, Nina looked at me with a smile .

“For the time being, the hemorrhaging seems to have calmed down!”

The ball rabbit, who was guiding us at the side is also looking at me with a proud face . As I now have a magic teacher, polishing my skill will be fast .

Why don’t I take a quick look at the vultures status .

It’s about to die!

The reason its blood flow has settled is because it’s almost out of it . If you look carefully, the vultures complexion is getting worse . I could easily tell due to its lack of hair . Its opening and closing its beak and a gloomy cry is coming out . It is defiantly headed for death .

The ball rabbit is looking over the vultures in satisfaction .

I don’t know what I should say .

I know it’s useless for them to know, as they don’t have the ability to check the status . Since I was already able to learn [[Rest]], it would be better to focus on Nina’s teaching . Ill let the ball rabbit know the status of the vulture .
