Episode 11.12 (1/2)
Lecan breathed out a huge sigh of relief inside his mind.
He had been mulling over how to carry himself ever since they marched in here.
That was when he realized how imperative it was not to let Eda use <Recovery>.
Her <Recovery> is at quite an advanced level even now, worst comes to worst, she might even end up casting <Recovery> with hints of
. This temple apparently has no
users, but it's still a temple nonetheless. A specialists' stronghold. Having Eda's <Recovery> be seen was already bad in itself, but if it's ever known that she has an aptitude in
, it's game over. That will mean the end of Eda's peace, and they can never go back to this town again.
That said, letting her fail on purpose is also dangerous.
First of all, she could still succeed the casting even if she intended to fail. And even if she managed to fail on purpose, the priests might not accept it when they saw her mana flow.
As such, Lecan decided to be the one showing off his <Recovery>.
”Well then, let me show you <Recovery> now. I'll make it manifest on my right hand. Watch closely.”
”What? Where's your wand?”
Lecan thrust his right hand forward with an open palm.
His five long fingers are spread apart.
(Please.)
(Make it.)
In fact, treating Vandam on their way to Vantaroy was the first and the last time Lecan ever used <Recovery> on someone else. He had been practicing more after that, and ever since the awakening of Eda's higher class <Recovery>, he had got many opportunities to observe that. But that's it.
He would have practiced more had he known it would come to this, but the decision to go this way was reached after they arrived here. There was nothing he could do.
(Please.)
(If I were to fail.)
(Or if I only showed them elementary class <Recovery>.)
(My word would lose persuasive power.)
(And they would turn their attention to Eda again.)
(That's bad.)
(So, for Eda's sake.)
(For the sake of protecting Eda.)
(Please!）
”<Recovery>”
With that quiet yet resolute recitation of the spell name, an orb of green-colored light manifested on top of Lecan's right hand.
”Ooh!”

”What a”
”What beauty”
”What vastness”
”I-is that really <Recovery>?”
Lecan was surprised himself.
It was simply that much of a gigantic, distinct and powerful <Recovery>.
(Thanks, god.)
Lecan offered his gratitudes to the god who helped him, regardless of which gods.
Lecan himself believes in gods despite his dislikes toward temples. Rather, for adventurers who live their life always flirting with the jaws of death, moments where all you can do is pray to gods are aplenty. Furthermore, he has borne witness to countless priests and knights who demonstrated extraordinary techniques by praying to gods. Fear of gods has taken root deep inside Lecan's mind.
