Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

It didn't take long before they found Yuki, like her father, she was also working very early. It was only obvious, but even though the world society was recovering from the damage that suffered over the last years, things were still pretty hard. Humanity could grow stronger and more resilient, doing all kinds of things, even without fighting. However, sickness still tormented a lot of people, now more than never, since most laboratories that produced medicine got destroyed.

The number of people that needed her skills was so high that the queue to receive her treatment was long even before breakfast. So, Leon started to wonder how she managed to use her mana for so long.historical

When those three approached, the soldiers nearby Yuki frowned and the sick people too. However, since Leon only needed to observe, they didn't approach too much. Besides, they didn't want to disrupt her concentration. Unfortunately, just watching her was already enough to annoy Yuki.

"… What?" Yuki asked without hiding her displeasure while looking at Leon.

Leon and Betty looked at each other surprised due to the fact that the princess of Japan could speak English.

"Lady Yuki, your father, gave permission for Leon to observe you while you are working, Your Majesty also gave him permission to ask some questions," Ren explained. "Leon wants to learn how to heal grave wounds that the recovery stat can't."

"…It's impossible for him." Yuki said.

"Why?" Leon asked.

"I can see that you are quite good using mana," Yuki answered. "But, you aren't good to feel it."

"And?" Leon asked.

"… If you can't feel it, then you cannot fully control your mana or the mana from others." Yuki explained.

"I see… that is why you don't run out of mana." Leon rubbed his chin. "You only use your mana to stimulate the mana inside their bodies. I presume you don't have to use a lot of your mana since you are just making good use of their mana."

"That's right," Yuki said. "Perhaps you can learn how to fully control your mana, but without feeling the mana of other people, you will never be able to learn how to heal them."

"How can you be so sure?" Leon asked.

"I can feel your aura; you have the aura of someone who tends to use your mana violently," Yuki explained. "I can clearly see that you are the type of person who tries to solve everything with brute strength."

Leon rubbed his chin and nodded; she was completely right. In the land, he learned how to overpower his enemies since if they get too close, he wouldn't have time to heal his wounds. Regardless, it looked like to learn how to heal; he had to learn how to feel the mana of other 's people. Leon never tested that in other people, but he bet he could feel their mana if Leon uses Mana-Eater.

"Lend me your hand for a second, Ren," Leon said.

"…Sure." Ren frowned.

Ren hesitated a little, but then let Leon touch his hand, but then soon he retreated when he felt his energy being sucked.

"I see… so that is mana from another person." Leon nodded. "It isn't all that different from magic items. But I guess I can't use it like that."

"… That's right, now stop pestering me and go away."Yuki snorted.

Leon ignored that and just observed Yuki healing people. As expected, he couldn't see anything happening; he only saw the results. Some people started to throw up, and others collapsed due to exhaustion. Even the process of healing sickness and poisons wasn't magical. She used their mana to get rid of the poison or the bacteria in their bodies, but they still had to get rid of those bacteria by throwing up or using the toilet. As for the curses, the process of eliminating the curses caused some mental strain, probably because the curses stopped certain areas of the brain from working correctly.

"Like she said, I always my mana offensively. However, to learn how to heal wounds, I have to learn how to use it without causing harm."

Leon didn't know how, but Yuki was capable of feeling everyone's mana, and she could control their mana just by touching their hands. The process complex, but it wasn't abrupt, and considering that she didn't exhaust her mana, it was quite delicate.

"First things first, I have to use my mana to feel other's people mana. She can feel my mana even without touching me, so I guess I should learn that first."

Leon, more or less, knew how Yuki's skill worked, so he had to emulate her powers bit by bit. Leon sat on the ground and closed his eyes and tried to emit his mana to his surroundings slowly. When he tried to absorb mana from the core, he did it roughly, so he ended up learning a skill that cost too much mana. This time, he had to do it calmly.

Leon felt his energy leaving his body, but he couldn't control it after a while, it was like the energy that emerged with the mana of the ambient. Besides, even though Ren and Betty were around him, he couldn't feel their presence even though his mana passed by them.

"I'm making a mistake somewhere…"

In the end, Leon also had to divide into several small steps the first step of how to sense other people's presences mana. Instead of trying to feel their mana immediately, he decided to create a thin layer of mana around his whole body. That being said, emit mana throughout every single part of his body was easier said than done. But Leon insisted… and after three days practicing without stopping, he succeeded. However, he got an unexpected result.
