After going back home, Lith finished preparing breakfast for everyone and used Invigoration to recover the energy spent by using the Warp Steps .
The procedure took place in his parents' bedroom as soon as they finished eating . Lith had Solus take the form of a small disc that he placed over his mother's belly .
"What is that thing?" Elina asked .
"It's a focus . It will help me direct and control the magical energies . " He lied in response . Solus's core was weak and her mana capacity small, but she was able to use Invigoration as well .
Her role was to check Elina's condition, using her own mana to fix any mistake Lith could make or at least buy enough time for him to stabilize his mother .
He also needed Tista's presence, to use her as a blueprint . First, he blocked Elina's abdomen pain receptors, then he destroyed the scar tissue causing infertility while reshaping the organ to make it resemble Tista's healthy one .
It was the first time he attempted something like that, so it took Lith several hours to complete the procedure . When he finished, he was exhausted .
'Damn, ever since I burned part of my life force, I get tired faster than usual and my stamina has yet to completely recover .
'Using Invigoration on two people at once for imaging was more difficult than I thought, then I had to cut away the scar tissue one layer at the time to not cause too much damage .
'I also had to prevent her from losing too much blood or going into shock . Unlike when I cured Tista, I couldn't immediately replace the destroyed tissue with a healthy one, since it was the excess tissue causing mom's infertility .
I can only hope that everything is fine now . '
"Is it over?" Elina asked with watery eyes . Despite Lith's precautions, she had experienced a burning sensation in her abdomen the whole time . The blood loss had made her dizzy from time to time, stopping only when Lith infused her with part of his life force .
"Yes . " he used a clean towel to wipe the sweat from his face .
"Can I get up now? I really need to stretch my legs a bit . "
"Not a chance . "
Lith forced Elina to rest while he sat near her, checking her condition from time to time . Regrowing organs inside the human body was something he had practiced at the academy, but altering their shape by switching between darkness and light magic was another thing entirely .
He realized how big was the edge true magic gave him compared to normal healers . Unlike them, Lith was able to split a procedure into different steps instead of being forced to complete it in one go .
It had given him the time to share part of his life force with his mother when necessary and to lessen the strain on her body by taking a break from time to time . He also used those pauses to recover his strength with Invigoration .
The procedure had turned out to be much harder than predicted .
Using Invigoration on two people at the same time while exerting surgical precision magic was taxing for both the mind and the body . There were so many things to check at all times that he was sure he would have failed if not for true magic coupled with Solus's help .
She had checked Elina's physical condition at all times, allowing Lith to focus only on the procedure, and as a life force IV replacing most of the blood lost by herself . Only when she couldn't keep up due to her low mana capacity, Solus had asked for Lith's help .
Solus remained with Elina all night long, making sure that everything was all right . Only after twenty-four hours had passed without complications Lith could finally breathe a sigh of relief .
Only then Lith went to Brina's house, removing the scar from the whole arm and making the two fingers she had left perfectly functional . The only downside of the treatment was that the new skin was pale as milk, but Brina didn't care one bit .
"How do you feel?" Lith checked her with Invigoration . Since the procedure was only on the external skin, he had not shared with her any life force, hoping it wouldn't be necessary .
"I feel good . Can I show it to my mother now?"
"Feeling okay doesn't mean being okay . Stand up slowly . "
Brina did as asked, but she felt so dizzy she needed to sit again .
"I guess you were right . Gods, suddenly I feel so weak and hungry . "
'It seems I almost pushed her physique too far . Vastor is right, a single healer can't restore fingers without endangering the life of the patient . '
He decided to split the treatment in three different days, one for each finger . It made everything easier for both of them and allowed him to better study the regeneration process without witnesses that could notice the anomaly his magic was .
While at the academy he had to use true magic like it was fake, now he could finally use it as he saw fit . After Brina, several other villagers came to him for help and every single patient provided Lith with invaluable knowledge .
After a few days, Tista entered Lith's room while he was using Accumulation to further refine his mana core .
"Say what you want, lil brother, but after seeing what you did for mom and Brina, I don't think that being a healer is just a job . It's something that brings hope and joy to other people . That's why I want your help . I'd really like enrolling in the academy . "
Lith was sitting on the floor cross legged, her words merely caused him to raise an eyebrow .
"Once again, that's incredibly naïve of you . I can't wait for you to meet Professor Manohar . If he can't change your mind, then no one can . " He sighed . Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
"Let me be honest, right now you have no chance of getting admitted . You are old for the fourth year, your mastery of the elements is sloppy, and you have no sponsor . " At those words, Tista's smile disappeared .
"Use next year to practice magic until it becomes second nature to you . Then, if I manage to graduate, I can pull some strings and make everything easier for you . "
Tista rushed to hug him when Lith stopped her by raising his hand . She suddenly had no control over her body anymore . Tista was pinned against the wall with her feet dangling a few centimeters from the floor .
"Tista, you are a pretty girl and the world is a harsh place . This could happen every time you walk alone in a corridor . Show me that you can take care of yourself . "
At first, she thought it was just a bad joke, but when Lith refused to let her go, she discovered she couldn't even call for help . Whenever she opened her mouth, no voice came out of it .
"It's just chore magic . You can do it . " Lith's words helped her to regain her cool, yet it took her a while to break the spell .
"Why did you do that?"
Lith replied by telling her about all that had happened to him from his first day at the academy . About the hazing attempts, the mean words from the students and professors and even how Phloria had almost got r*ped .
