133 Chapter 132 (2/2)
”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.
