Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant

Chapter 378 125 - Tournament arc's epilogue

Chapter 378 125 - Tournament arc's epilogue  Inside the sickbay, Burushi was facing a real problem with the black-haired boy.

Mainly, the damages he suffered in the ridiculous fight that just happened weren't healing with her magic.

And yes.

The blond heroine remembered the fight.

She not only wasn't frozen in time – most likely thanks to being hoke-full of healing attribute mana – from the window that Zoemi himself made, she had a perfect vantage point to witness the absolute insanity of what was happening.

She couldn't wait to talk with Zoemi about the whole Heavenly Star Nation thing – not to mention why the man with a leucism was calling out loud the names of zodiac signs before pulling off some insane moves that seemed to bypass mana completely.

There definitely wasn't anything like that in the game both of them played – but since this world wasn't a game at all, that wasn't all that surprising.

What was surprising and worrisome, was the declaration the white-haired, self-proclaimed florist made before disappearing.

He said that his nation would have to prepare more.

Not that the attack would not happen – it would just be delayed.

By how much?

What does it mean for everyone?

The blond-haired girl did not dare to ask anyone else besides Zoemi those questions.

Well, maybe except for Miriette, who already proved herself to put her money where her words were – but unluckily for Burushi, the dark-haired girl didn't show up alone and left together with her escort soon after.

"Haa... let's try this again, shall we?"

Burushi breathed out and pulled up her sleeves approaching the unconscious black-haired boy whose insides were severely messed up by the initial hit that sent him flying.

...seriously, it was so worrisome...

Zoemi didn't even seem all that wounded when he stumbled into the sickbay – merely exhausted.

But then he coughed up bile and unfortunately, it was mixed with blood, and the boy fell over right after he closed the door behind his back.

It has been a few hours since and he still didn't show any signs of recovery despite Burushi constantly showering him in her healing spells.

Considering how things were, it would not be surprising if he would be unable to participate in a final duel of the tournament the next day – which would basically invalidate half of his reasons for even showing up in the first place.

Still, if there was a single word that worked best to describe Burushi, it would be stubborn.

Before she was holding back just in case – but with it getting dark outside, and the arena emptied out - finally -since people seem to like hanging out around there even with no duels happening, Burushi could pull up the big guns of her healing attribute.

"A-a-ah... I wonder what Surou is doing... more time had passed since he was expelled and locked in some monastery than what we spent together... He might have as well forgotten about me..."

The blond heroine allowed herself a nostalgic sigh as she looked through the window at the starry sky before turning to her patient.

All of his injuries were internal but just in case most of the boy's clothes were removed.

Needless to say, Burushi shook her head, getting rid of the unnecessary thoughts, and made a serious expression before she put her hands on Zoemi's bare chest.

|Damn, he is chiseled...!|

Even with all her professionalism, she couldn't help herself from admiring Zoemi's training-hardened body and how it felt under her touch.

"...alright, I better stop before I'll do something that will make me doge making eye contact with Miriette – ekhem - Check-up."

She then muttered to herself, sliding her hands on the most affected area – the abdomen - cleared her throat, and cast her spell out loud, enjoying the otherwise silent environment that let her focus on the important parts.

Within seconds, the information about Zoemi's health flowed into her brain.

It was bad – broken bones, ruptured organs, not to mention bloodloss... all that every single previous spell that Burushi had cast was to keep him alive – it did not make him better, it only made him stable for a brief amount of time.

That had to change.

If the normal spell didn't show anything that could be healed – it only meant it wasn't thorough enough!

"Private visit."

With that in mind, Burushi cast another spell – a better, more advanced, and more thorough version of the check-up spell, that she usually didn't use because the amount of information that would flow into her brain would always cause her headache.

But this was for a good cause.

After all, if normal healing spells weren't working on someone who had been successfully healed in the past, the logical option was to search for the cause of that!

A foreign object – or maybe foreign energy, more likely – must have entered the black-haired boy's body and was messing with the natural order.

"...are you kidding me...?!"

But the only pay-off after giving herself a headache was more detailed information about everything she already knew.

She was almost sure she was in the right – but in that case, wouldn't it mean that if her magic is unable to identify the problem, it is also unable to treat it...?

|So it is no use after all...? The best I can do is to just keep him alive?|

The blond heroine bit her lip, staring at the large dark bruise on the boy's stomach – a very clear sign of the hemorrhage.

Something like that should have disappeared after Burushi used just a basic healing spell, but instead, it was still there as if taunting her about being powerless!

|No, I can't just give up! If there is some foreign energy messing with mana inside his body, then it should be possible to flush it out by injecting him with new mana!|

She gritted her teeth and decided.

...and it just so happened that the healing attribute literally worked on the mage injecting the patient with their mana and guiding it through the patient's body...

"Heal!"

Burushi said and a faint light passed from her palms into Zoemi, spreading through his body.

The mana flow through but did not affect the wounds at all – Burushi could feel her mana sliding off of it like rain hitting against the umbrella.

"Major Heal!"

She instantly followed it up with another spell.

The light became brighter – but there was still no reaction.

"Super Heal!"

She called out and the light became blinding – for the first time she sensed a difference, the resistance that pushed her mana away from the boy's wounds weakened.

The umbrella was denting in because of the pressure!

"Mega Heal!"

Encouraged by the success, Burushi shouted and her next spell caused Zoemi's whole body to start glowing.

The resistance decreased once more – but the heroine was sweating heavily – after all, she was providing all the mana that was crushing against the force keeping Zoemi's wounds from haling, and she did not have an infinite amount of it.

But that did not stop the determined healer.

"EXTREME HEAL!"

Burushi was breathing heavily, the other cases when she was using so much mana on a single patient could be counted on one hand.

But she was so close to breaking through – she could almost feel the barrier tearing away, just a little more, just a tin push...!

"...haaaa...."

The air around Zoemi started shaking as the blond girl breathed out and took a deep breath in preparation, before...

"ULTIMATE HEAL...!"

Burushi shouted, feeling her mana depleting with such speed as if her mana reservoir had broken – and all of that mana went straight into her patient.

The air around Zoemi started boiling as if nature itself was opposing the power of the spell.

But the heroine had one final spell – her ace in a hole - her most powerful spell that would leave her mana reservoir completely dry and basically knock her out the moment she used it.

And she didn't hesitate at all to use it for her friend!

"FULLY COVERED INSURANCE!"

She roared and the whole room suddenly became the epicenter of the terrifyingly powerful air quake that made it look like it got completely submerged in water – putting it on equal ground with the phoenix and glacier spell that Zoemi had used in the tournament.

*plop*

Just as she already expected that would happen, Burushi got knocked out and fell limply on the floor beside Zoemi's bed.

On the bright side – the large bruise on his stomach disappeared, healing up nicely.

...on the darker side, the bleeding reassumed and a brand new one took its place – although this one was slightly smaller than its predecessor.

That made one thing clear – the boy's recovery would not happen overnight...
