Chapter 40
We entered a very rustic cabin, benches lined the edge of the cabin with a extremely large worn sodden table in the centre . All the other students were huddled around the table chit chatting waiting for the class to start .
"Hello Hello everyone, please settle down, my name is Pofessor Courtney I'll be your Herbalism and Alchemy teacher . " The scruffy looking young woman with extremely large round glasses, spoke to the entire class .
"What's herbalism? . . . is it the same as Herbology?" I whispered asking Helen .
"If Herbology means the study of plants for medicinal and alchemic uses then yes… . . . " she whispered back . . .
"Ohhh I see…" I nodded in understanding .
"So children we will be carrying on from the previous lesson . " Professor Courtney said to the class .
"So we will proceeded further into healing herbs . . . . So who knows the best herb for healing burns with small natural healing properties?" Professor Courtney aske the class while exiting a set of doors behind her and re-emerging with a crate of a very familiar looking plant, sprouting out of soil with very thick fleshy skies leaves .
"Aloe… Professor Courtney . " Calista shouted out to her as she came back into the room .
"Well done… . Princess Calista . " She replied to her with a smile .
Placing the large crate on the table one by one she began passing the pots to each student . "The gel is the most important part of the plant, applying the sap on burn wounds will help heal and smooth most wounds but is extremely effective on burn wounds . " She explained snipping off a leaf cutting off the skin on the flat side and proceeded to spoon out the translucent gel with a slight hint of green .
"We have this back at home . . . . it's called Aloe Vera . . . . " I said to Jay watching the demonstration .
"Ohhh that's pretty handy . " he replied seemingly uninterested .
"But why do we need to learn this is we have magic that can heal us?? . . . " I whispered to him .
"Well . . . . casting spells is taxing on the casters body . . . We can only accumulate and store so much Arcanum so once we have exhausted our reservoirs, we will need to rest and eat allowing our body to recover and gather Arcanum again… . . . . So in a pickle Potions can come in very handy . " he explained .
"Ohhh I see . . . . so that is why I fell unconscious…?" I nodded in understanding .
"Yes that was what Paul said . Plus learning and mastering spells take extremely long time and effort so some people may just forgo learning healing magic and focus on certain schools and roles . " Jay added .
"Ohhh so because Daisy is learning Holy and Divine magic?? . . . I can forgo learning to heal? . . . " I asked trying to understand further .
"Yeah something like that . . . so instead of being a Jack of all trades you can focus on a certain role . " Jay explained .
"Are you gonna learn some healing spells? . . . " I asked .
"Hmmm basic spells might come in handy . . . . but probably nothing too complicated . . . " he answered .
"Ohhh . . . . okay . . . " I replied .
"So children once all the flesh has been extracted from the plants store it in these glass beakers and then we will proceed to learning how to use it in medicines and potions . " The professor informed the class with a smile, the whole class proceeded to follow the professor's demonstration cutting the plants and spooning out the flesh into glass beakers .
"Do you know anything about alchemy??? . . . " I asked jay .
"Nothing at all to be honest . . . . it's not something someone can just pick up and experiment . " he answered . "But I'm sure Helen and Grace would know . . . . the best alchemists are generally elves . . . since they are very knowledgeable when it comes to nature . " he added .
"What do you mean??? . . " I asked .
"Well naturally elves are stronger druids and rangers . . . . there's something about them that allows them to communicate with nature and understand animals and stuff better the other races . " Jay explained .
"Ohhh I see . . . . " I nodded in understanding .
"For example Daisy's race Tieflings has strong connections to magic some say it was because of the blood pact made by their king . . . . " Jay added .
After the whole class extracted beakers full of the aloe sap . The professor began tidying up the plants into the large crate and taking it out .
