Chapter 90 - Image or Chant?
"So, it's a completely different kind of magic?" I asked for confirmation.
Awald nodded slightly and spread his hands, pointing to the examination tables on either side.
After chanting five verses, he cast the spell [White Grail].
The white light of mana, so clear it was visible, spread throughout the laboratory with him at its center.
Everything within the range of this light was healed. It enveloped the two people on the examination tables, healing them simultaneously.
Although it took some time, within ten minutes, all the seriously injured were completely healed.
The Maple Leaf magicians let out cries of admiration at the sight.
"As expected of you, Awald-dono."
Although such voices came, Awald looked at me without changing his expression. "The spell I just used is the most advanced healing magic used by saints and saintesses. To put it bluntly, if Aoi-dono could do the same, there would be nothing for you to learn from us."
Hearing this, Everyone turned their eyes to me.
"Widespread healing, does that include those hidden behind walls or objects? For example, if there were five people in view and three hidden, would the healing target five people or eight people?"
"Eight people. The number and visibility don’t matter as long as they're in range."
"Then, the wide-area effect just now was probably due to the chant. I would appreciate any information you could provide on that."
While we were having this conversation, Crown clapped his hands and raised his voice in excitement. "Oh! It's said that the effect of healing magic can vary from one magician to another. Could this possibly explain why?"
Awald gave him a sharp look. "Understanding the chant. I see. Indeed, if you use a different kind of healing magic, we might be able to research it from a different perspective. Hmm, that's interesting."
He looked down at me. "I will show you magic books that only saints and saintesses can read. They contain the research and original spells of the most advanced healing magicians certified in Maple Leaf. We all learn the basics of healing magic in Maple Leaf and eventually reach that level. This means that we can never break free from the framework passed down in Maple Leaf. By looking at this framework and research methods from your perspective, we might be able to make significant progress."
I immediately nodded. "That's an offer I can't refuse. I came here hoping to see the best healing magic."
【Diageo】
In the evening, someone came to the office in a hurry.
A guard received a document from the person outside and came over to me.
"What is this?" I asked the guard.
He stood there so as not to disturb my work, held the document to his chest, and answered, "The vice-head court magician of the Court Magician Corps, Gem Westmeath, requests an audience. He suspects that Aoi Konominato, who came from the Verted Kingdom, is a spy. He also said that there is a possibility that Crown Windsor is planning to defect with the secrets of the Maple Leaf Holy Empire".
"A spy, defection…? No, fine. Let him in."
After granting permission for the audience, the guard quickly turned and opened the door. At the end of the long corridor leading to the office, I saw Gem waiting, escorted by two guards.
I remembered that this man didn't get along with Crown. With that in mind, I raised my hand.
A short time later, Gem arrived at the office, still surrounded by guards. Following the rules for an audience, the guards stood two steps behind and on either side of Gem.
He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for granting this sudden audience."
"Very well. It seems you have brought a rather troubling matter?" I asked, skipping the formalities.
He immediately tightened his expression and nodded deeply. "Yes. I recently confirmed that Crown Windsor was accompanied by a teacher from Fiddiq Academy. Knowing this magic enthusiast, I suspected something and conducted my own investigation."
"Investigation? Did you follow him?" I asked, wondering what he was talking about.
He shook his head with a very serious look, "As far as I know, Aoi received special permission from Your Majesty. My mere suspicion would not justify a half-baked report. Therefore, I contacted various sources and confirmed the content of her visits. I have submitted the reports of those who accompanied her."
He took out four reports. He must have done a thorough investigation. The reports were neatly written in different handwriting, each with details of the informants.
"Showing ongoing magic circle research at the magic academy and allowing access to top-secret healing magic research at the magic laboratory? Ridiculous. I haven't given such permission."
As I looked over the reports in shock at the contents, Gem said with a frustrated expression, "Your Majesty would never give such reckless permission. The current head magician and principal are to blame for everything. They are focused solely on the pursuit of magic, ignoring the interests and future of the Holy Empire. Therefore, they were likely influenced by Aoi and Crown."
