When I said, "I will treat it," Cameron and the students all widened their eyes. Arabata also blinked, but Strass and Coat nodded in understanding.
"Can you heal it?"
When Strass asked, I replied that there was no problem.
"Wait a moment. You must be careful with your words. This is the Mapleleaf Holy Capital Magic Academy. When it comes to healing magic, we are proud to say that we do not lose to any magic academy in any country. It's not something to be taken lightly..."
Cameron, who had been speaking calmly until then, suddenly began to speak in a rapid, complaining tone, as if he was greatly irritated. However, there was no time to listen to a long lecture.
Without answering, I moved to the side of the examination table and placed my hand on the side of the young man, next to the female student with tears in her eyes. While checking the injury, I imagined the uninjured state. I tried to visualize the internal organs as accurately as possible and infused them with magic.
"...Water of Life"
Finally, as I cast the spell, the part of my magic that had permeated was corrected according to my image. With a faint glow, the young man's body began to heal.
"What... what is this..."
Perhaps because it was a magic they had never seen before, Cameron's confused voice could be heard. The students also looked at the young man's healed body with surprise.
"There's not enough blood."
Although there was no problem, I thought that if left as it was, he would not regain consciousness for a while. Thinking this, I took out a pill I had kept as an emergency measure. It was a secret elven medicine passed down directly from Owen.
I placed the pill in the young man's mouth, who was still unconscious, and looked around.
"Do you have any water? Drinkable water?"
"Y-Yes!"
At my words, the female student standing next to me took a glass of water and handed it to me.
"Thank you."
I thanked her and took the glass. After opening the young man's mouth and letting him take in the water, I closed his mouth and placed my hand on the back of his head, lifting it slightly.
A small sound came from his throat, and I judged that he had swallowed the pill.
"...What did you do?"
Just as I was relieved that the treatment had been successful, I heard a voice tinged with suspicion from Cameron.
"I treated the injury. The last medicine is to activate some of the internal organs and promote blood production, considering the lack of blood. I think he will regain consciousness in a few minutes."
As I answered, Cameron walked over to me and looked down at me with a stern expression.
"Nonsense. This was a critically injured person who we had a high chance of not being able to heal. Even if we could heal the surface wounds, it's not that easy to completely heal them..."
Cameron, who said this in a low voice, looked at me with suspicion. However, as if mocking such a Cameron, the young man opened his eyes slightly and let out a breath.
"...Ugh, ugh..."
Hearing such a voice, the two students suddenly placed their hands on the young man's chest or leaned their ears to his mouth.
"He's alive!"
"His heartbeat has become stronger! He'll be fine!"
The two quickly confirmed the young man's safety and smiled in relief.
Strass and Coat also let out deep breaths.
"...Ah, who are you?"
With an expression that seemed to belie his previous composure, Cameron looked at me and asked about my identity. However, I had already introduced myself.
So, I could only restate my name.
"As introduced at the beginning, I am a senior faculty member at Fidic Academy. As for the rest, I am a disciple of Owen Millers, and that's all I will say."
As I answered, Cameron made a gesture as if biting his back teeth.
Then, he turned his face away from me and looked down at the young man lying on the examination table.
"...I thought that this special room would be sufficient for the tour of this academy, but it was a mistake. I didn't expect that you were a healer of such skill that you could serve as a senior faculty member at our academy..."
To Cameron's words, I shook my head and spoke.
"I am not primarily a healer. If asked what I am good at, I would be at a loss, but my main research is magic arrays, so I might be best at making magical tools."
I modestly corrected Cameron's mistaken impression. As a result, not only Cameron, but also the students and Arabata stopped moving.
"...Didn't you see me use ice magic, Arabata?"
When I asked, Arabata frowned and placed a hand on her forehead.
"I saw it, but... I didn't expect that your specialty would be making magical tools... You were also using flight magic..."
Arabata, who seemed to be in deep thought, held her head. Ignoring her, I spoke to Cameron.
"Next time, I would like to observe a magic lecture."
When I said this, Cameron furrowed his brow and pulled his chin without answering.
