Chapter 273: Teachers
While the group concentrated on refining their fundamental skills, Terra pursued a different path—she aimed to enhance her healing abilities. She understood that improving her healing skills required a gradual process and couldn't be mastered solely through precision and control. Nonetheless, Terra remained unwavering in her commitment to becoming a more proficient healer.
Putting her abilities into practice, Terra began tending to the group's weary and strained muscles. Rain recognized the immense value of this task. Healing the body's muscles not only offered immediate relief but also represented a long-term investment in their overall strength.
This meticulous approach to muscle recovery held the potential to yield substantial benefits in their quest for improvement, even in the short term.
"What do you think I should do here?" Terra asked. "Your healing skills aren't better than mine, but you should have some ideas."
"Bragging, aren't we?" Rain furrowed his eyebrows.
Rain began to wonder if he could apply his modern knowledge to enhance his healing skills. He believed that sharing this knowledge could also help Terra. While standard healing skills aimed to restore health, they often required more time for damaged tissues to fully regenerate. The severity of a wound determined the length of the healing process, with deeper wounds taking longer to heal.
Considering these factors, Rain contemplated the idea of incorporating magic into their healing techniques, essentially using it as a magical equivalent of sutures to expedite the healing of wounds. However, he acknowledged that his current control over raw mana might not be refined enough for such precise applications.
Nonetheless, he found the concept intriguing and contemplated conducting further research and experimentation to unlock this potential aspect of their magical abilities.
"How about starting to use your mana to check the wound with more precision instead of just using it to restore health?" Rain asked. "Once you completely confirm the wounds' severity completely, you can focus your mana on the right spots to improve the healing speeds."
"I remember my teacher emphasizing the importance of training quick thrusts in our training sessions," Reca shared.
"Quick thrusts? What was the reasoning behind that?" Rain asked. "It is starting to sound like they all wanted to only teach you a single thing."
"Well, my teacher believed that quick thrusts are crucial because they can catch opponents off guard and create openings in their defenses," Reflecting on her teacher's teachings, Reca elaborated, "She used to say that precision and speed in our strikes make it difficult for enemies to react in time, making quick thrusts a valuable skill in combat."
"My teacher didn't say anything aside from the fact that I should wind and fire since they were the easiest for me to learn," Liss said and then sighed. "I asked him countless times to teach me other things, but he didn't want to... even though he could create large explosions away from him with a snap of his fingers."
That sounded like a really powerful technique of a character that Rain saw a long time ago... in any case, those teachers sure liked to do things in a half-assed way. Rain couldn't complain much since he was only teaching his sisters, but...
"Our teachers apparently knew our parents. That was why they decided to teach us," Asche said. "They also said that they couldn't adopt us since it would feel like it was out of pity, and they didn't want to feel that way toward the children of their friends. Anyway, my master just watched my shooting form and corrected it a few times."
"Mine made me meditate a lot until I could control my mana to make potions," Terra said. "Thanks to that, I might be able to do this."
Actually, Rain was pretty sure that Terra's teacher made her do that because he wanted her to eventually learn the same technique on her own... probably because he believed that would make her reach new heights as well. Maybe it was the same thing that the others felt, and that was why they didn't teach that much aside from the very basics. Or maybe Rain was just thinking about it too much.
It was hard to say. Maybe he was also overestimating Terra since he had been teaching her some self defense skills for a while, he also often spoils his sisters, after all.
