”Doctor! Doctor Norma! Please help!”
”Our kid! Our son, he's!”
A man and a woman carrying a kid of around 10 year old rushed into the medical center and made a commotion.
Norma immediately left the patient she was examining and went to the waiting room. Lecan and Eda followed after her.
”Oh. Mr. and Ms. Yubo-san. What happened to Majifu?”
”A noble carriage ran him over! His leg, our son's leg, it's!”
”Lecan! Put a blanket over the sofa! Eda, we've got to wipe his body. Get water in a bucket. And some towels!”
The two quickly moved about.
The kid was listless. He's covered in mud and his right leg is bent unnaturally.
”Lecan. Soak a towel and use it to wipe Majifu-kun. Clean up all the mud.”
”Got it.”
”Eda.”
”Yes.”
”I need you to use <Recovery>.”
”Yes.”
”Listen well. Cast <Recovery> three times. Doing so successively might be hard, but I'm sure you can do it.”
”Yes.”
”Right now there's a lot of mud and small stones inside Majifu-kun's leg. They would get trapped inside him if you cast <Recovery> while they're still inside, rotting his leg from inside out. As such, make the first <Recovery> expel mud and bad stuff out of his leg. Foreign substances and stuff.”
”Y-yes.”
”Lecan. Wipe more firmly. Don't hold back. Change the water. Keep at it until the wound is bare open.”
”Got it.”
”Eda. The second <Recovery> will be the hardest one. The bones in Majifu-kun's right leg have been broken down, crushed and bent.”
”Y-yes.”
”The treatment has to be done while we're restoring his leg to its correct state. If you cast weak and careless <Recovery> when it's at that state, the bent bones will stick together, rendering the leg unable to return to its original state forever.”
”Eeeh?”
”Hence. Clad your wand, I mean hand in mana, examine the left leg, then restore the bone in the right leg to a similar state as it. First, mend only the bones.”
”Yes.”
”The third <Recovery> is to treat muscles, arteries and blood pipes. So long as you get the bones right, this should come naturally.”
”Will this do.”
”Very good, Lecan. Now then, Eda. Do it.”
”Yes. <Recovery>.”
Norma readies her short wand and watches over Eda's <Recovery>.
”Nicely done. And fast. The foreign substances are getting rapidly driven away. Lecan. Wipe off the expelled mud and pebbles.”
”Got it.”
”You're getting there, just a bit more. Simply amazing Eda. You're very impressive.”
With a serious look on her face, Eda frantically operates her <Recovery> while keeping her eyes on the now drenched patient.
”All right. Eda. Clad your left hand in mana and examine his left leg.”
”Yes.”
”Make a mental note of that state for the right leg to... Eh?”
Green lights dwell on both Eda's hands. The left light on the left leg while the right light on the broken part of the right leg.
”No way... Dual parallel casting of <Recovery>?”
Norma looked shocked for a moment before pulling herself together and clad her wand in mana once again to examine the patient.
”Right... Keep at it. His bones are getting restored back. It's working. Nice... Eh? The crushed bones are reforming back into new bones? No way.”
The kid is groaning while sweating out. The mother is wiping his sweat with a towel. The father is cheering for his son, 'You can do it, you can do it'. The boy is unconscious, but perhaps the warmth from his family is getting transmitted to him.
”Alright. Eda. You're done with the bones. I can't believe you fixed them up so quickly like that. Now get ready for the third <Recovery>.”
Eda recited the spell name for another <Recovery>, restoring the boy's muscles and skin. The scene of crushed muscles returning back to their original state is truly a magical sight to behold.
After checking the patient and Eda, Norma instructed Eda to cast the fourth <Recovery>. Putting it over the boy's entire body, intended to raise his stamina and treat his condition.
Once the treatment was done, Norma lay down on the sofa.
Since Lecan and Eda couldn't exactly do her work, the medical center ended up closed for a bit.
In the afternoon, a blood vomiting middle-aged woman was suddenly carried into the clinic.
”Uwaa. There must be a hole in her eating organs. Lecan. We've got to close up that hole.”
”Got it.”
Lecan probed the insides of the woman's belly with <3D Perception>.
”I see. There's a gaping hole right below these entrails.”
”Eh? You got the spot right yeah, but how'd you figure out? You didn't use your mana, did you?”
<3D Perception> allows Lecan to see shapes and positions of things, but it's an ability not magic. Mana is not needed for it.
”I have an ability that enables me to know locations and shapes of stuff.”
”Eh? That sounds so convenient.”
”There's some sort of blood clot coming out of entrails, can we really close the hole while ignoring that?”
”Well, there's nothing we can do about that. No choice but to leave it to her body's autopurificatory system.”
”Shall I take it back to her entrails, or maybe even get it out through her mouth?”
”No no. That can't be done. Would be nice if it could though.”
”Move <Torim>.”
”Eeh?”
A while later, a dark blood lump of blood came out of the woman's mouth, floating mid air.
”Where to dump this?”
