Chapter 425 - Healing Training (1/2)

Being given an hour or so to breathe freely, thanks to the fact that there are only 2 or so Demons emerging from the water under an hour or two and of course thanks to the fact that Mogranius is all over the Patrol shift, young Eric here has a bit more time to sharpen his powers.

He is an Expert Fire Controller no doubt, a Hatchling in Lava Controlling too but the power he looks the most forward to train at the moment are his beautifully helpful Healing Powers.

Eric is powerful enough alone, but life has no limits when it comes to bringing physical damage! He can get hurt, his friends can get hurt as well and having healing powers helps him feel the sense of immunity towards danger although not immortality.

He obviously won't be able to become a Grand Master in a span of a day or a year come to think of it, but it's always handy to have a healer in his or best called their Arsenal!

The best way to hone his healing powers properly, has become through reading pricy books written in the Zamerian language, thankfully Ladia is here to be a good translator and learn herself too.

Mostly, King Michael likes to monitor Ladia's progress since she is a very valuable person in this Kingdom and if there is any way he can help her progress faster, he would want to help.

Furthermore he is interested into researching how Healers do their thing, although he most likely won't become a healer himself since he doesn't have the power.

Those two facts aside, he can't be here and help these kids progress since he along with Commander Alia are trying to train the Chickens, trying to prepare them for battle in any way possible.

...

Ladia practically being Eric's teacher at the moment, although younger than him, decided to help the Electus by starting off with the most basic spells or best called power moves.

Muscle healing! Starting off with healing sprained ankles, wrists or any kind or muscle tension can help set down an essential base of practice which can help any Healer progress a hunch faster when they try more advanced pieces of work.

Well, at least that's what the book for Hatchlings (Level 1) healers says. So trying her best to explain, with all the Ignite language she knows, Ladia spoke. ”Uhh, do you know wrist slapping?”

Trying her best to understand her, which in a way pushed his social anxiety away, he let silence stretch for a few seconds before answering. ”You mean that thing you did on King Michael when he got struck by that big Lizard?”

Roughly understandable, but good enough for the older Eric who often stutters, she explained. ”Yes yes, it's child toy. You just need to tap arm or leg with finger and try heal patch by patch.”

Although willing to learn, he sure hopes this is easy so he bumps from one word to another trying to express himself quickly. ”Does it require concentration? Because King Michael and Mogranius idolise concentration!”

Understanding the Electus, since as a child she isn't the best with concentration either, she tried to reassure him. ”No no it easy, you just focus tiny and just tap tap tap tap!”

Tapping made her think of something else she read in the book, and since Eric doesn't usually reply in 2 seconds or less she used the silence to give a better explanation as she tapped her book. ”It says in book that Hatchling can heal wrist with 4 - 8 tap tap taps and ankle with 7 - 11 taps.”

Concern growing through his subconscious, he decided it best to ask about it. ”Its no problem if we over do it right? I'm not the best with remembering numbers.”

Having read this book for hours at a time now, she memorized everything enough to answer with 100% accuracy. ”No harm, if muscle healed they will no longer pain sharp taps by every hit.”

Pointing out the obvious, he spoke. ”I guess I need to wait for anyone to sprain their ankle to use this one.”

Freely expressive although younger, she spoke. ”Boar crap, you can try on my wrist. If you can make finger glow its good enough.”

After that she reached her arm out, lightly dropped her book on the table and said. ”Try, imagine you healing muscle.”

Not so comfortable with holding anyone's wrist, especially a lady's for obvious shy reasons, he tried to sugar coat his words with. ”Are you sure it won't hurt?”

Appreciating the Electus how he doesn't want to hurt any friend, it gave her more motivation to help him progress so she insisted. ”Very! Even if it will, a sprained leg hurt a lot more than sharp heal.”

Avoiding grabbing her arm, he just started tapping on her wrist without giving much of a reply. ”Okay.”
