Episode 26.6 (1/2)
The following day, Lecan was feeling somewhat jovial.
He's still not sure what happened, he just knows that Shira was fine even after taking on Skalabel's
. And from their conversation yesterday, he won't be casting any more
.
Meaning there's no need for Skalabel to stay in this town for nine days, the entourage should head back to the capital earlier than planned.
The trouble is leaving. That's a good thing.
The breakfast consists of the same members as the lounge talk yesterday. As Lecan and Norma made their way to the guesthouse, everyone besides Skalabel and Cawin was already there.
Lecan was chewing on his bread and thinly sliced meat when Skalabel entered the room supported by Cawin.
The whiteness of his skin really sticks out like a sore thumb. White to the point of looking sickly.
Skalabel had breakfast as well. Cawin ordered the maids to serve only soft food that goes down the throat easily. Skalabel silently had his meal like he was on a journey.
After meal, when everyone was relaxing, Norma spoke to Skalabel.
”Guide Skalabel. Please pardon me, would you allow me to perform a check up on your conditions using my wand?”
”Ooh. Norma-dono. I would love nothing more than having a medic approved by Shira-sama examine me. Please by all means.”
”Thank you. Oh you can stay on your sofa.”
Norma stood up, took her wand, and began examining Skalabel sitting across the table.
Her mana control is as exquisite as ever.

”Eeh.”
The one who sounded surprised was Skalabel's young pupil, Cawin.
Apparently this young man can see the flow of mana. Must be some sort of skill.
If you can see it, Norma's mana control is simply superb. Its exquisiteness may as well a work of art. Very thin and fine mana threads got into blood vessels, circulating into every fiber of his body.
Priest Amamir has a complete trust on Norma, her being the daughter of a researcher he respects. Priest Kotojia is Priest Amamir's direct pupil, quite a bit younger than him. A middle-aged priestess with a cute womanlike face. Kotojia doesn't seem to doubt Norma either.
Once she was done with her check up, Norma sat down on her sofa and got lost in thought for a while.
”Guide Skalabel, you have been casting
on yourself, haven't you?”
”That is indeed the case.”
”How many years have you been doing it?”
”Right, well. It should be more than 40 years. A little less than 50 years.”
”Have you had another person cast
on you in the past 30 years?”
Priest Kotojia replied to this question.
”Norma-dono. When you have a choice between multiple
users, you should pick one that can cast the highest class of
among them.”
”Yes. That is because casting lesser classed
will overwrite the lingering effects of higher classed
