81 Silent Story 3: Special Training for Lina (2/2)

'It's true. It's important to think about why you couldn't do it like that.

It makes all the difference in your development.

Okay. So, when do I give you a hint?

I think I'll do it if she asks me to.

What if he doesn't come to you?

I mean, can you help me?

Oh, it could be: .......

She's so serious, I'm sure she won't rely on me to do what I tell her to do and try to handle things on her own. .......

When he does, I'll ...... check on him for a few days, maybe casually ......

Heh, maybe you'll be able to do it before I tell you.

It's .......

Maybe that kid could be: .......

'That's why my grandson will be happy that he's a genius.

A little apprehensive, I tried to be strong with Carina .

SIDE: Rihanna.

How can I heal that wound: ......

I was looking at the wounded trees and wondering to myself.

I can bring my magic to the trees, but I can't heal them.

Why can't I heal it?

I could do one thing by hand .......

I put my hand on a tree and healed the wound with holy magic.

You could do this: ...... Why?

What's the difference?

'When you heal one wound, you can use holy magic to envelop ...... the wound... is that right?　I understand!

All right.

It's the same when we heal multiple wounds.

All you have to do is to let the magic stay in the ...... wound that envelops each one.

Now I see what Grandma was talking about.

The reason why an ordinary wand isn't suitable for holy magic is that it can't manipulate the magic once it's released.

Holy magic is more about precision than power.

That felt good.

All that's left is to practice.

SIDE: Saint.

'Hey, Rihanna, ...... you look like you were convinced of something, right?

”...... Looks like you're right. ...... Once I was healing a wound without a cane, ...... maybe you've already noticed that?　No, it's a quicksilver: ......

I don't think so: ...... Are you sure about that?

What might little Rihanna have noticed if she got so upset ......?

''Well, ...... it's a mistake that people who have just learned holy magic tend to make when they try to use magic from a distance: .......''

Yes.

''Holy magic requires the magic to stay in the wound for a certain amount of time. But if you try to do it from a distance, you'll be so focused on reaching ...... it's easy to forget that.

I realized that with one mistake: .......

No, that's not possible. I needed a day to figure it out too.

Yes. It's not like I've finally figured it out yet!

Well, I guess that explains it. I mean, Rihanna's a better genius than you, right?

Speaking of which, ...... I made Carina proud of such a boast .......

'Yeah, that's ......'

Well, as a grandmother, you must be frustrated not to be able to teach your grandchildren. I don't blame you.

Well, I don't know that I've figured it out yet!

As I said that, I was looking in Leena's direction: ......

Leena clutched the wand and looked focused .

After a while, the magic stone at the end of the wand flashed .

''Yeah ...... a little bit, but it looks like the magic power is lodged in the wound ...... what do you think?''

That's ...... you've noticed. ......

I could see the magic lodged in the wound too .

By the looks of it, I could do it with a few days of ...... practice.

'Don't be so depressed, be happy that your grandson has grown up.

Yes, but .......

...... I haven't had Leena ask me for help yet. ......

Since I've been in the teaching country, I've yet to teach Leena how to use her magic in detail once: .......

''Really?　If you want to be relied upon, why don't you just change your practice?

That wouldn't be good for Leena and ......

So give it up. Don't you think about your grandchildren more than you do yourself, Grandma?

Yeah, yeah, ......

I'll have to give up ...... for Leena.

SIDE: Rihanna.

''I understand, but it's very difficult to manipulate the magic ...... ...... at a distance.''

I couldn't have done it without this wand.

It's my grandmother's wand, after all.

Just by using this, magic control is much easier.

Grandma who can heal multiple wounds without a wand is amazing. .......

I'll have to practice hard .

''Three days later .

Grandma!

What is it?　Is it ready yet?

Yeah. That's what I'm doing now.

Then he pulled his grandmother to the tree and held the wand.

Then she used her holy magic, aware that the magic power would spread through the wand to all the wounds.

For a while, I kept concentrating on wrapping the wounds in magic and making them stay.

After a moment.

I did it!

All wounds are healed.

You did it. ...... I knew you were a genius, Lena.

No, it's not.

I denied it with my mouth, but it's great to have ...... my grandma praise me.

When I was thinking about that, my grandma patted me on the head.

I'm so happy to be ...... happy.

”Good boy. Keep up the good work.

Okay!　Well then, my goal from now on is to speed up the healing process and be able to do it without the ...... wand.

Yeah, well, go to ...... and follow me if you can. ......

I'll do my best!　I'm going to be a saint like my grandmother!

...... That's nice of you to say that . Yeah, don't worry about me, go for it!

Me?

Am I supposed to not worry about passing my grandmother?

Yeah, I'll try!

I'm going to be an awesome saint that surpasses my grandmother!
