Raised in Dungeon

"Welcome to the healing class. I'm glad that many students outside the healing faculty are choosing this class this year."

The Faculty of Healing and Psychian ranked third most prestigious, following the Fighter and Enchanter faculties. Those who chose this faculty were predominantly clerics and individuals aspiring to become psychians. Despite its prestigious standing at number three, it bore the distinction of being the most challenging faculty among all.

"I am a teacher and cleric in charge of Oxwadeshire's Water Church; my name is Norah Hamilton; you can call me Sister Norah. Since this class is not available in secunda, we will start with basic amnis healing."

Despite her role as a priestess in the church, here she stood, clad in a school teacher's attire, much like any other educator. Though her stature was tall, the lines on her face hinted at the passage of time, suggesting she was approaching her fifties.

Beside Allen, Sharik shook his head, expressing his disbelief. "I never imagined I'd end up choosing this class," he remarked.

"It's your own fault for choosing the same class as Allen, at this rate, how will you handle future classes?" Felicia said.

"Sharik, I heard there's an option to change your class in two weeks," Allen suggested.

"No." Sharik clenched his fists and stood up with excitement. "I won't regret my choice!" he shouted, capturing the attention of everyone in the class.

Instead of being scolded by the teacher, Sister Norah remarked, "Mr. Sharik possesses a commendable spirit and excitement. That is good, because to save others, one of most important thing is your spirit."

Sister Norah continued,

"Actually, healing is also part of amnis. So, more or less, systematic healing is also the same as amnis in general. Four elemental spirits exist, each associated with a distinct healing Amnis command. Furthermore, the domain of healing Amnis is categorized into four levels: Basic, Medium, Advanced, and Ultimate. The differentiating factor among the enchanter faculty lies in the complexity and procedural intricacies of the healing techniques, which is the reason why healing is separated from another amnis subject.

Meanwhile, the actual amnis healing depends on one crucial thing. Does anyone know what that is?"

Someone raised their hand and answered, "Is it praying?"

"Exactly... Praying is also part of successful healing. If we talk about theory, praying can make us pour all our feelings into our amnis. In terms of healing, elemental spirits favor praying over regular chanting."

'I see, now I understand.' Allen thought, remembering one of the incidents in the past while in the Barkaley region, the incident when he healed Iva after she gave birth. Lavinia had once said to him "Pray with all your heart, Allen. Even if you don't believe in God, you should still pray because God is merciful to all his creations."

'The bright light when I healed Iva was proof that God answered my prayers through elemental spirits.'

"Then, the second important thing when using healing amnis is... happiness, excitement, and enthusiasm! As Mr.Sharik has.

Unlike other amnis, this healing Amnis involves the convergence of our mana and the mana of the person we are healing. Consequently, the factors influencing the healing process extend beyond our control to include the mindset of the individual undergoing healing. The healing will likely succeed if the healed person maintains a positive outlook.

Hence, when extending our healing abilities to others, we must enthusiastically approach the task and cultivate a positive mindset."

Sister Norah clapped her hands lightly and continued, "However, there is no need for you to perform such tasks at this stage. Our primary focus is on learning. The initial skill you need to grasp is basic healing.

Basic healing is specifically designed to address wound closure. To master basic Amnis, all you need to do is memorize the command spell and visualize the wound before you."

Sister Norah then looked at Sharik and smiled. "So take it easy, for this semester you don't need to remember the structure of the human body," that smile made Sharik shudder because sister Norah was really reading his mind at that moment.

"Alright, homework for everyone is remembering each command spell from each elemental spirit. No need to force it, the final exam is also not too complicated."

...

After the healing class ended, they went to the academy's cafeteria on the first floor. The academy's cafeteria provided various cuisines according to the wishes of each race, except for sirens and aarakocra who had separate areas. From vegetarian to meat-filled meals were provided there, which were, of course not free.

In cafeteria, the three of them met Geirhild who was sitting with her other dwarf friends. When she saw Allen, she waved her hand to the others and went over to him.

"How was healing class?" Geirhild asked.

"Of course, it was easy!" Felicia said proudly.

"I've done it before, so there's no problem," replied Allen.

As for Sharik, "These people are not normal. On the first day, we were told to memorize four command spells for healing, do you think normal people can remember them in a week?"

They chose their food and sat at one of the empty tables.

"But I still didn't expect that you would actually choose healing. Is there a special reason?" Geirhild asked.

"Not really, I just thought it would be useful for me."

"For Allen, the fighter and amnis classes must be even more useless," Felicia explained.

"That's not true either, Miss Petronella's explanation yesterday really helped."

"Allen is already strong enough without using amnis," said Sharik, who began to devour the food in front of him. "No wonder he chose such an unusual subject."

"What about you?" Geirhild now asked Sharik. "You were a combat fighter from the start. Why did you join Allen in those unusual classes?"

"Of course I prefer my instincts!"

"I think you really need to change your chosen classes," Allen said.

Felecia agreed, "following others will only make your grades worse."

"No problem," Sharik replied. "From the start in this academy, all I've been interested in is learning to be a strong fighter. One or two extra subjects don't change things.

Then suddenly, someone approached.

"Miss Felicia," the familiar voice made Felicia shudder. Felicia stood up, then she slowly turned to the person calling her and returned the greeting.

"Your Highness... May I help you?" said Felicia as she lifted her skirt.

"No need to call me like that, you can just call me Francis. It is said that there is an unwritten rule in this academy to leave our honorary names."

Francis, and the four others behind him followed suit. Two men and two women.

One of the people following Francis looked at Allen and reprimanded him "That one behind, you are also part of the Wildenhall Kingdom, right? Where's your respect?!"

As Allen tried to stand, Francis reached to lift his hand,

"No need, didn't I tell you we should leave the honorary name behind."

"Very well, Prince Francis. How can I help you?" Felicia asked.

Francis then offered his hand, "Would you like to have lunch with us over there?"

"Huh? With you, my prince?"

"Yes, I invite you to have lunch with me."
