 Mathi: ... All done. How do you feel? Vera: Wow... The wounds are all healed. It's as if I was never hurt.- Mathi: It's because they're manor injuries. Lithia? Let me take a look at your injury. I saw you get bitten in the leg.
 Lithia: I'm busy making Chrysona...- Mathi: You can do that later. Come on, drop what you're doing and get over here.
- Vera: Oh, can I take a look?
- Vera: Wow... They're beautiful. Are these also magic ingredients?
- Lithia: You can't use them as is. You see how colorful they are? It means they're impure.
- Lithia: Once I filter out all the impurities with magic, it turns a bluish green color like this gem on the side.
- Lithia: And that pure crystal is called a Chrysona.
- Vera: Do you have to get rid of the impurities? They look beautiful as is.
- Lithia: If it's not pure, they don't produce consistent results when using them in ingredients.
- Vera: I see. That's unfortunate...
- Mathi: .......
- (SHIINE...)
- Lithia: ......Oh?
- Mathi: I think it's mostly healed. How do you feel?
- Lithia: Whoa... You're actually pretty skilled. I didn't expect that.
- Mathi: Am I supposed to take that as a compliment?
- Lithia: You didn't tell me the reason, so I thought you were kicked out because you were bad at your job.
- Vera: Um, how do you know when you become better in magic?
- Lithia: It really depends on the field. In case of healing magic, when it's done by a quack, it stings really bad, and it's itchy. You're more likely to get scars, too.
- Vera: Wow... So the fact that it healed so cleanly speaks volume about Mathi's skill!
- Mathi: I... only put in more effort. Skill is important, but what matters more is what spell you use.
- Mathi: There are three major methods when using healing magic...
- Lithia: -
- Mathi: First helps enhance the injured's natural healing capabilities. This is the most basic.
- Mathi: You essentially convert stamina to regenerative energy to heal a wound that will take ten days and accelerate it to heal in ten minutes.
- Mathi: But all you're doing is speeding up your biological clock, which is why it hurts and may also leave scars.
- Mathi: If you are poisoned, of have a disease, it also speeds up the progress of your illness.
- Vera: Oh dear... That's terrifying.
- Mathi: The second method uses the caster's own mana. The effectiveness really depends on the caster's own skill, and can strain the caster's stamina and magic.
- Mathi: Though it may be limited in range, the severity of the injury doesn't matter as much.
- Lithia: They say little knowledge is a dangerous thing. If you get healed by an unskilled healer, you're going to regret it.
- Lithia: Thanks to SOMEONE I know, I had a pretty bad experience. Can you believe it? I still have a scar to show from it.
- Mathi: I, I'm not like that anymore! Who do you take me for!
- Vera: Haha, I guess the method we received is the second one. What's the third method?
- Mathi: Using other magic as support. The El, magic stones, elemental, spirits...
- Mathi: There are many different ways, but they all have complicated requirements. It's usually used in specific situations.
- Lithia: ... That's it? Isn't there one more?
- Lithia: The healing magic so close to perfect, that it can even bring people back from a brink of death?
- Mathi: How do you know about that? Did Joy teach you?
- Lithia: Yup.
- Mathi: Ah... The fourth does not exist. It's forbidden magic.
- Mathi: Teaching a child something like that... Maybe your personality is all twisted because your teacher was... peculiar?
- Lithia: Hehe, Joy was one-of-a-king. Surely she taught me because she knew how brilliant I was.
- Lithia: Didn't you also want to be taught by Joy when you were little? Jealousy doesn't suit you, my friend.
- Mathi: It's natural for someone to be lured by danger when they're little. I merely gained a new perspective after I grew up.
- Vera: Um... Is there something wrong with the fourth method?
- Mathi: Ah... It's better if you don't know.
- Lithia: Aw, come on, she's curious! Besides, camping is perfect for sharing scary stories.
- Lithia: The fourth method, is healing at the cost of another person's life.
- Vera: Another person's life?
- Mathi: .......
- Lithia: Yeah. What do you think? Sounds like the kind of thing that would be abused once it's known, right?
- Vera: Hmm, I think some people might threaten others or demand sacrifice...
- Lithia: Right? Same as libra herbs. It's forbidden because despite its usefulness, there are people who would abuse it.
- Lithia: Someone might be able to use the spell to bring back someone precious to them, without sacrificing anyone else.
- Mathi: ... Are you saying self-sacrifice is fine?
- Lithia: Is there any reason not to be? It's their own life.
- Mathi: ...... Don't say something like that. I don't want to hear it.
- Lithia: Sure thing, Mr. Healer! Don't worry, I'm so healthy, I'll probably live up to 300.
- Lithia: Haha, don't take it too seriously. No matter what, you can't bring back the dead.
- Vera: .......
