Healing System

Chapter 30: Aftermath



Michael left the forested area with a smile on his face.

He left Shingen to Amanda and the other people who arrived.

However, the reason for his happiness was currently in his hands.

’A one time use blank check, Amanda sure is stingy.’

She gave him a check that he could use to buy anything he wanted with a 1 million dollar limit.

The downside was, he could only use it once.

If he were to buy candy that costs 2 dollars, the blank check would be used up.

But in the end, he didn’t protest, a million dollars is still a million dollars, even if the economy differs greatly from his previous world.

He could buy gear for himself, though he was not sure what he wanted yet, nothing that he needed urgently at least.

Michael walked out of the forest and called his driver, he arrived as fast as usual.

He relaxed in the back seat and looked at his status, a lot has happened since the last time he had checked it.

Michael quickly skimmed through his status screen, only nodding in satisfaction.

His stats rose by quite a lot and since Blessing of stats is like a permanent skill for him, it also began showing up in the stats screen.

As Michael was about to close his status, the system’s voice rang out inside his head.

Check your titles.

He looked a bit confused, so he scrolled back up and saw something strange.

’Why is it all question marks?’

There was a title that simply displayed ???, he couldn’t click on it neither could he gain any information on it.

Don’t worry about that for now, you got it way earlier than you should have.

Michael’s brows furrowed ’Of course you know what it is and yet again, you won’t tell me.’

Pretty much, just know that it is going to be helpful in the feature, as for now, the title is inactive, hence you can’t see any information on it.

’Yeah whatever..’

-----

It was now the next day, as Michael was walking inside of the school.

However, unlike the usual indifferent gazes, people actually paid attention to him, some even wearing admiring expressions.

He walked the halls and got to his classroom, upon opening the door, what greeted his eyes were his classmates, who unlike usual, were all here early.

Due to Amanda’s nagging, he was forced to go early since he usually arrived late.

’A Saint must maintain be disciplined she said’ Michael rolled his eyes and sat down in his seat.

Surprisingly, the first person to approach him was Kevin, wearing a confused expression for some reason.

"You were supposed to die..how are you here?"

Michael’s saintly smile slightly cracked, glancing at Kevin with an annoyed look.

"What? You wanted me to die there?"

Kevin didn’t pay attention to Michael’s words and began murmuring under his breath "This does not m-"

However, at that moment, Lena walked into the classroom, her face sporting a grim look.

"Everyone, I have some news, due to the recent incident, our dungeon expedition next week is delayed, they have to reevaluate all the active dungeons"

Michael was even more pissed off now ’So now I have to attend the academy for the theory, seriously?’

He had looked forward to the dungeon expedition, as it would not be as boring as what he was currently doing, which was..nothing.

Added on to the fact that besides sparring, the rest of the lessons were boring. Because his INT stat was so high, he learned everything instantly and was able to put all the knowledge to immediate use.

Magic theory was tomorrow, though he doubted it would provide him any help, the skills he used did not need any kind of buffs, they were already at maximum efficiency.

As the glum silence hung in the air, Lena suddenly smiled.

"However do not fret, as instead of dungeons, we will be going on an excursion instead!"

She then continued "There are a lot of cities and villages on this continent, one of those villages requested our help dealing with the monsters."

The monsters usually come out of dungeons, however, there are many who are born and bred outside of them, no one knows when they got the capability to live outside, but all that mattered now was that they could.

And according to Lena, they were terrorizing nearby villages.

Michael was relieved ’That’s at least something..’ He was expecting pure boredom for the next month.

Though here it was, the excursion.

The lessons quickly passed as Michael finally mastered the art of sleeping with his eyes open.

Ever since getting used to absorbing the information, he was now able to do it subconsciously.

It was as if he had a pair of earphones in his ears blasting information while he was asleep.

Quite frankly, that is the second impressive thing he learned after being admitted into the academy.

The first being mana control.

Michael was only able to use physical enhancement, however, he felt as if he was close to something.

Every time he attempted to stretch the mana outside of his body, a little bit of it did, however, the rest disconnected from his mana flow completely.

The mana consumption was massive, to form a fist sized glob of mana costs him 20% of his total mana.

From what he guessed, it was due to his poor control, he was not so stupid as to not notice the flow being cut off.

Michael decided he would ask Claire about this when lessons ended, there were only a couple of them left, as well as the sparring lesson.

He fell back asleep with his eyes open, to others it looked like he was diligently paying attention to Lena, however, she had not said a word in quite some time yet he was still staring.

Everyone chose to ignore him, it’s not like this was the first time Michael acted strange.

-----

The lessons finally ended, the spars were not anything special either.

The same 3 people who had caught his eye a while ago were still the most impressive out of the bunch.

If he were to estimate who was the strongest of the 3, he would guess it’s Elizabeth or Claire.

They had not sparred against each other yet but their prowess was incredibly impressive nonetheless.

As for Kevin, he was just slightly below them, he was fast and strong, his skills were fairly interesting too, it looked like some kind of shadow manipulation.

Though Michael was confident he wouldn’t lose to him in a fight, others definitely would.

He was not strong but his skills were incredibly versatile, while others focused on pure speed and strength, he opted for a more calculated combat approach.

Michael respected it, but that was about it.

He didn’t really like the kid if he was honest, Kevin managed to piss him off every single time he talked.

Come on, he’s just a kid.

’An extremely annoying kid.. don’t even try to make him look normal, we both know he wasn’t.’

Michael had pieced a little picture of Kevin in his mind.

He had knowledge of the mana cores, which meant he was definitely someone important.

Yet there was that earlier interaction that still irked him a little.

The conclusion Michael came to was ’Definitely a chuuni..’

Those thoughts even sent shivers down his spine.

Michael left the training center and headed for his club room, along the way spotting a bunch of people who still had those weird expressions on their faces.

He didn’t particularly hate it, but to say he liked being the center of attention constantly.. was not something he enjoyed.

Opening the club room door abruptly, he was met with a sleeping Claire, who like last time, was asleep in her own wreckage.

’Chairs this time huh..I wonder how she even falls asleep like that.’
