Thank you very much!

"Miss Valerie, it's nice to meet you. My name is Reta. I will treat your burns from now on."

First, before starting the curse removal, I called out to Valerie while observing her, but there was no response. In Reta's eyes, a clear black mist swirling around her was visible.

(...Is this the curse?)

To be honest, he had been able to see it since entering the room. He remembered that the magic book stated that after obtaining the curse removal spell, one could see curses that were normally invisible. In other words, if he couldn't see this, he wouldn't be able to use the curse removal spell.

(I can see the curse. So I can use the curse removal spell!)

He encouraged himself and reached out his hand toward Valerie. Despite her exposed skin and the burns being examined, she continued to gaze out the window as if uninterested. Just as he was about to touch her, he stopped and infused his hand with magic, chanting softly.

"---'Curse Removal'"

A faint light was emitted, dispelling the mist that enveloped Valerie.

"---Ah, this is bad!"

He couldn't help but exclaim. He felt a significant amount of his magic power being drained. It was difficult just to stand. However, he couldn't stop the curse removal now.

He gritted his teeth and continued the curse removal, tracing the light of the spell from Valerie's face down to her toes to dispel the mist.

(There, that's it.)

A few minutes later, he successfully dispelled all the mist. He felt that Valerie's complexion had improved slightly. There was no time to relax after completing the curse removal.

(Next is the burn treatment.)

The task remained the same.

"---'Healing'"

First, he applied the healing spell to Valerie's face. The burn on her cheek began to heal, but the process was slow. Although he was definitely treating it, he couldn't shake the feeling that it wasn't fully effective.

(---Ah, could it be that the burn from a year ago can't be completely healed?)

He had never heard of healing old wounds, and Reta himself had never treated an injury that had been a year old.

(Can't be, can't be... No, no, don't think that. I will heal it. I decided that, didn't I!)

He scolded himself and continued the treatment. Valerie's life, which was still young and full of potential, deserved to be restored.

(I will heal it!)

His magic power continued to dwindle. However, the skin that had been burned began to show signs of recovery, but it was still burned. It had only improved from a severe burn to a less severe one. Moreover, the magic consumption was significant.

(...If this continues, my magic power will be depleted. Then---)

He decided to try the spell he had just learned along with "Curse Removal." He took a deep breath and released all his magic power at once. He decided to take a risk without thinking about the consequences.

"Please, heal with this---'Great Healing'!"

This was a healing spell that surpassed "Healing." There were three main types of healing spells:

---"Healing," "Great Healing," and "Complete Healing."

Their effects were literal. In Reta's case, due to his abundant magic power, talent, and the benefits from Mina, the effects were even better than usual. Until now, "Healing" had been sufficient. There was no need to seek more.

But now, it was different. He needed a much stronger healing spell.

"---This, this is... Valerie's burns!"

The burns on the face of the woman lying on the bed began to disappear. The painful, burned skin returned to its original white. Valerie's beautiful and cute face, with its childlike freckles, healed rapidly. The burned nose and lips healed into a well-formed, beautiful state. Confirming this change, Reta was certain of his success and continued the "Great Healing" on her neck, shoulders, arms, chest, abdomen, waist, buttocks, and legs, treating everything.

"---Mr. Dixon... You are... what a..."

"Ah, Valerie's body... It's just like before, it's good, it's so good!"

Emotional voices could be heard, but Reta continued to focus solely on Valerie to maintain his concentration until the end. He had no time to respond.

(There, that's it... It's healed.)

Reta, who had treated all visible burns, was overwhelmed by a sense of great accomplishment and even greater fatigue.

(...Damn, my magic power is... depleted...)

He had been holding on by sheer will during the treatment, but the tension released after successfully completing the treatment. In the next moment, Reta's vision went dark.
