Chapter 8: Not A Simple Kid (2/2)

Arion felt sad that he wouldn't be able to do such miraculous things, especially when he was not a Defier.

But not all Defiers could necessarily do what Mei could. She had the Light Aspect, which was one of the very rare Aspects among Defiers.

Aspects, or Pranic Aspects to be exact, were the many different aspects or natures that existed within the mysterious and powerful energy known as Prana.

A Defier could manipulate these aspects as long as they possessed the respective Pranic Aspect.

Some can have the Fire Aspect, Water Aspect, Wind Aspect, Earth Aspect, and so on. There have been Defiers with all kinds of Aspects, including the very rare ones that appeared in Ingerna Isle's history.

Such rare ones were very few in numbers even among Defiers, and Mei was one such character, thus contributing to her fame as well.

A Defier with the Light Aspect was seen as a holy blessing by the people, and thus some even revered them thinking that the gods blessed these Defiers.

Hearing Arion's compliment, Mei smiled and said, ”Actually, it healed faster because he is a Defier with some healing abilities. Otherwise, it would have taken more time.”

Arion was surprised to hear that the boy had some healing abilities as well, ”No wonder he was able to survive...I guess he is not simple…”

Seeing the young boy who looked no more than his age, Arion felt bad that they were so different. He had a disability, while the boy seemed to have his special qualities atop being a Defier.

After half an hour, Mei healed all the superficial injuries, and seeing the boy's face after the blood disappeared, Arion was surprised to see a boy whose looks were too handsome to the point he felt that he had never seen someone as handsome as the boy.

He wondered if men and women in this world were inherently superior in terms of appearance compared to the humans in his previous life.

'If I had my previous life's face...maybe...I won't lose out to him…' Arion bitterly thought. He lamented the fact that not only was he crippled, but even his face seemed unattractive compared to his previous life.

The only features that seemed similar were his black hair and eyes, but it was a common trait after all. The only reason even his hair had a neat boy-cut look was Mei would cut his hair for him.

He didn't look ugly, but he was not handsome either. If someone saw him, they wouldn't bother to give a second look and would even forget his face the next second.

For someone who had a handsome face before, it was quite a blow to him. Still, he already accepted reality since there was nothing he could do.

The boy also had a cool charm to his face, and Arion could imagine girls swooning with just a wink from him.

”How is it that his face did not suffer any injuries other than some bruises? It seems like he valued his face more than his life,” Arion said with puckered lips.

Mei chuckled, hearing his comment, and said as she stored back her quill, ”I have healed most of his injuries, but for the serious ones inside his body, I would have to let his body do the rest of the healing. Apparently, he has the capability, so there is nothing to worry about,” Mei said as she wiped a drop of sweat that trickled down her forehead.

Seeing her looking tired, Arion felt heaviness in his heart and said, ”Sister Mei, you can go rest. I will look after him and call you if there is any problem.”

Mei nodded, and with a beautiful smile, she kissed Arion's forehead and said, ”I am so lucky to have a caring boy like you. I will go take a bath and also bathe you later, okay?”

Thinking about how Mei was going to bathe him, Arion felt his face getting hotter, especially when he checked out his memories. But he controlled his emotions as he nodded.

After Mei left, Arion looked at the handsome boy before him as he mumbled, ”Who are you kid…”
