Chapter 7: Defier (2/2)

Although she was not very strong or powerful, he knew she was someone who specialized in healing people by using Prana.

Unfortunately, Arion's nerves were in a destroyed state, because of which Mei realized that a miracle had to occur for Arion to heal his body.

There was only so much she could do with her abilities, and since Arion couldn't draw upon Prana, Mei found it impossible to treat him.

The most puzzling thing for her was that her powers were unable to affect Arion's body.

Otherwise, she could have found a way for him to recover slowly, even if it was difficult.

However, she never held back her love and care for him and never let him feel less whenever she spent time with him.

But because she had to work to earn money, he was alone for some time of the day.

And if he ventured out on his own, he would get bullied by rowdy kids and get insults thrown upon him for trying to use certain facilities only a Defier should use, like the famous Golden Monolith erected in the middle of the village.

It was a special and precious block of stone that could allow aspiring Defiers to attune themselves with Prana and improve their control over it.

There was one stone in every village, and people say that these have been here for a very long time, and it was not clear who placed it there.

There would be a long and tiring queue since each person was allotted a certain period to use it and leave.

And Arion, despite being an Inert as Defiers term for those not able to use Prana, would go near the Golden Monolith every day in hopes of awakening his ability to use Prana.

So, the others couldn't help but feel that Arion was wasting their time by using something he had no right to. If he can't use Prana, then he should stop wasting others' time and sit at home....well...that's what all of these people thought.

Since he at least had a Pranic Heart, he never gave up on his dream to become a Defier and support Mei instead of letting her toil and work all on her own. There was not a day he didn't feel guilty about it.

But that was not the only reason for his motivation to become a Defier.

The only reason most of the adults don't make it difficult for him was because of Mei.

She was extremely popular not only for her breathtaking beauty but mainly because of her medical skills as well since her skills were in demand the most no matter where.

A Defier like her with exceptional skills would be treated with more respect than normal Defiers.

After all, she was the best Healifier in the village and even the neighboring ones while some even dared to say that she was the best in the whole island!

People from other villages would either visit her to catch a glimpse of her poetic beauty or to employ her medical expertise.

Seeing how astonished Arion was, Mei, smiled and said, ”Well, when I examined him, he indeed has a Pranic Heart. So, for him to survive such a fall with these injuries, he must be a Defier. We will know more about him for sure once he wakes up,” Mei said as they almost reached their home.
