Healing System

’That was exhausting’ Michael expressed as he sat back down on his bed.

For the last 4 days, the only thing he had been doing was healing others, however, for some reason, most of them came to the church just to see him.

Most did not even require healing assistance.

He couldn’t tell how much EXP he got as he stopped receiving notifications about it but the system did assure him the EXP was going towards something.

He felt relieved and at the same time a bit concerned, Kevin seemed strong, possibly in the early level 120, he used his knowledge of the past well.

That also means he has gotten new skills, some of which might be better than Michael’s.

He was not a jealous person, he just did not want to be very far behind.

’Any updates on the status?’

Work in progress, I told you.

’Yeah, but not even a single bit of good news? You called that parasite incompetent, yet here you are.’ He said with a snicker.

I will have you know, I could connect your skills with your mana pool and fix the system, however, you wouldn’t be able to use the affinity you have until you get a Mana Core.

Michael seemed a bit surprised ’What do you mean?’

Your heart is pumping out mana without an affinity, the skills are connected to something even deeper than that, however, the connection was severed the moment you learned how to control mana, I assume the process felt a bit.. forceful.

’It did..’ He recalled his struggles of first learning mana control, he had even passed out once.

Achieving Physical Enhancement felt as if he broke through a dam, it was sudden and violent, however, the gains he received in that particular moment were huge.

’So the only way is to get a Mana Core huh..’ He thought with a bitter expression, he had hoped this wouldn’t put him that far behind others.

Well look on the bright side, once everything recalibrates, you will be getting a bunch of new skills and since you figured out how to use mana, you wouldn’t need to level them anymore, they would immediately bump up to the MAX level.

Michael gasped ’Does that mean I can combine my skills into legendary rarity?’

But as soon as he thought that, another issue arose ’Doesn’t that mean I won’t be getting any more stat points?’

You will be able to combine them yes, and no, stat points will also be recalibrated, you will be getting something different as a reward. Discover exclusive content at NovelBin.Côm

’Is that so..’ He felt a bit disappointed, however, he was sure the system knew what it was doing.

Laying down and looking up at the ceiling Michael had a blank look ’So what happens to you once I end up getting a Mana Core, didn’t you say you would disappear?’

Nothing much, I would still be there to help you, however, my range of abilities would not be that useful anymore, I would still be able to automate some stuff for you though.

’That’s a relief, here I thought you might disappear completely.’

No, that was more so to make you rely on me less, you were like an adult baby back then.

Michael’s expression hardened as he turned in his bed ’Shut up.’

What, am I wrong?

He decided to ignore the system for now, he wanted to finally take a nap, this day had been as exhausting as the rest.

He was a bit surprised how he managed to work here for more than a year without complaining ’Is it the people?’

Michael didn’t feel that overwhelmed before, now, however, the stares were making him a tad bit uncomfortable.

Just as he was about to close his eyes and fall asleep, a loud knock resounded on the church’s door.

’Seriously..’ He got up groggily, he had gotten so comfortable in his bed, yet his rest was cut short.

Opening the door, what greeted his eyes was a familiar individual, one he did not expect to see down here in the slums.

"Amanda, to what do I owe this visit?" Michael put on his Saintly smile, trying his best to rile her up.

However, she ignored his antics "You are needed back at the council, why did you turn off your phone.."

Ignoring the last part ’Needed at the council? Does she mean at that round table meeting?’ He thought with a puzzled expression, why would he be needed there anyway? It’s not like he was the Saint anymore.

"Don’t think too much about it, my father wishes to talk to you in private." She said nonchalantly and gestured for him to get a move on.

’Fafnir wants to see me? Is it because of the wish?’ Michael quickly locked the door behind him and followed after Amanda.

As the only way to come down and up from the slums was the subway station, they couldn’t get the car down there.

’She mentioned phone, isn’t the barrier like an EMP?’ He thought back to his previous observation.

An EMP for Mana, not for technology, it’s an intricate design.

The system added as he finally reached the car, heading straight for the government headquarters building.

Stepping into the elevator, they immediately appeared at the very top where the round table was located.

Walking up to the room, Amanda nodded at him and walked away.

’So it’s a 1 on 1 meeting? I still hadn’t decided what I wanted though..’ Michael thought with a small frown as he opened the door in front of him, Fafnir sitting down in one of the more comfier looking chairs.

’He’s drooling..’ He noticed that the supposed dragon was asleep.

However, he suddenly sprang up to his feet and walked up to Michael, his expression a bit tense.

"I have somewhere to be human, tell me your wish already" He said in an impatient tone.

’Did he wait for me all these years? Whoops..’ Michael felt a bit guilty, from what he read in the books, dragons tend to be a little impatient.

A little? I am surprised he didn’t just kill you straight up.

’Well, that would be a bit unreasonable..’

"Alright, can you teach me how to form a Mana Core?" Michael asked, not even trying to hide his greed, he knew Fafnir couldn’t do something like that anyway.

However, the next words greatly shocked him "Very well, sit down."

’Huh? System?’

I am not sure.. I can’t think a of workaround...

Even the system was not sure of what Fafnir was about to do, breaking the Oath results to death, was he planning on dying?

Nonetheless, Michael sat down on the floor as Fafnir sat right behind him.

"Human, what kind of a battle style do you have?"

Michael thought for a moment "I am a healer, however, my offensive magic is pretty strong too, I am comfortable with Close range and mid-long range battles as well."

"Show me" Fafnir gestured for Michael to show his spells, he got ready to stand up but was stopped.

"Show me while sitting on the ground" He said and placed his hand over Michael’s head.

’What is he doing?’

Just do what he says, I think I understand where he was going with this.

Michael nodded and began casting his attack magic one by one, followed by a few Mana Shields to add variety and lastly, Shield of Nourishment which he had cast on himself.

He had Physical Enhancement on at all times, so he was sure Fafnir would notice as well.

"Hm... I see" Fafnir suddenly stood up and picked Michael up by the head.

"I need you to use up every single bit of mana you have."

’Won’t I pass out again though?’

You passed out last time because you didn’t have any training in using it, now you do, trust him, you will be surprised.

Michael nodded and began using skill after skill.

’This better be worth it.’
