The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 256: Rare Flower

The first surgery with Jessica, I took the long way on purpose. If I do it too quickly, they will be suspicious of me since this is the first time such condition appears. Even I never heard of it in my previous world. Probably because there’s no cure, someone decided to keep it as a secret. I’ll have Albert asked the noble we captured before if he knows something about it later.

As for the second surgery with Ellen, I didn’t cut open her body. Since I can pretend that I’m a genius who knows when the exact moment that Kayla need to cast her healing spell. I can’t tell anyone that I have my see-through ability yet.

So, I just stabbed a Blobby that I turn into a syringe into Ellen’s body, and absorbed the black coating from there. I just said to the others that I can absorb just the black coating without harming the body.

Jessica protested since she needed to be naked and be sliced open on her chest while Ellen didn’t need to. Making me look like a pervert who just want her naked. That’s wrong. It’s just one of the reasons, but not the main reason why I ask her to be naked. And I have the right excuse to say to her so, she forgives me quickly. And she even asked to join our clan later. I’ll think about it with the other later. Though, I don’t think we should increase our members just as soon as we established the clan. Maybe sometime in the future I will accept her.

I finished curing Ellen rather fast. Then continued with the villager kid, and his mother. I finished the three in the time I did an operation on Jessica. She still looked angry the whole time.

...if she’s this angry at me, then why would she ask to join my clan?

“Other than the first one, the others were done rather quickly. How fast can you cure everyone in that village?” Albert asked.

.....

“Probably... if I have supplies of mana potion for Kayla so she can cast healing magic the whole time, I can probably finish it in... at most two days. But that will be too stressful for me and Kayla, so maybe a week? And more, we need to know if after we cure them, they can pass through that barrier or not. Also, do you think that everyone wanted to be cured?”

“What do you mean?”

“Albert, you are the busiest man here and I kidnapped you. Once you returned, you continue being busy. What if I had a Blobby infected your inner organ just like these people? You will be able to work non-stop without being tired, hungry, or thirsty. You don’t need rest, food, or water. The only disadvantage of this condition is that you are no longer a human being. And for hunters who would sometime take a quest that took them days, they will no longer need to camp and rest since they can continue moving at night. And they also won’t have to spend any expense for food and water. This condition has more advantage than disadvantage.” I said honestly.

Thinking that Blobby can do this to my body as well, I can’t wait to try it. but to do that, I need someone to be sacrificed first. I’ll ask Albert to give me a prisoner to do the experiment on.

“I guess for now, we need to investigate about the invisible barrier first. I’ll give you nice reward to do it as a task for your newly built clan.” Albert said.

Good. Now, to the most important event today. Can I get my medical license?

I approached the dean and the professor who is discussing something.

“Excuse me, dean and professor of medical academy, I haven’t introduced myself properly. My name is Roy. An air and summoning element mage. And I also wish to be a surgeon as well. Nice to meet you.” I introduced myself properly.

“Ah! We’re currently discussing about whether we can get you a medical license right away or not. I thought that it might be good to get you a medical license as soon as possible, but you are still too young. There will be too many people who will hate you if you suddenly received a license just like that. So, we’re considering our next actions.” The dean said.

I had some ideas in mind to take care of that, but before I was able to say anything, Albert interrupted.

“Don’t worry about it. I have some great ideas for that. That’s why we will discuss it privately later. How about you all return back to the academy. And the guild master can return to the guild as well. as for the people Roy cured... they will stay in Roy’s clan base temporarily so Roy can watch over them in case they have some kind of side effects from the infection.” Albert said.

...there goes my chance. Since the king has already spoke, whatever I say won’t be heard by them. Albert is acting like he’s my dad or something. At least that mean these people won’t think to make a mess with me.

Now, what should I do? It’s already dark. I guess I should return back to the village quickly to investigate the barrier and see if there’s anyone suspicious. I’ll ask the kid about the homeless man’s description later.

“I guess we’ll return home now. Celestine, we don’t need this dome anymore. You can destroy it. As for you four, just like the king said, you will stay in my place. Since you haven’t eaten for months, we need to prepare a lot of foods for you, huh? How do you feel?” I asked the patients.

“Now that you mention it, I feel hungry all of a sudden.” Ellen said.

“That’s because your stomach has been empty for months. Grab some drinks first.” I said as I look at Kayla. She has already prepared some water when I called her. She’s always one step ahead.

Kayla then gave each patients a bottle of water to drink. And all of them emptied the bottle in one go.

“Ah! Wait, Roy! You need a permit to pass the checkpoint, right? I’ll write it for you since the one in charge of this city hasn’t been decided yet. If it’s a royal decree, there’s no way a normal guard will refuse it.” Albert said.

I just nodded to his words. I guess he already expected me to take action tonight to investigate the barrier and see any trace of the other Black Slime’s master.

That night, after taking everyone to our base, Albert and I transported to the outside of the village with Ellen who we knew can keep secrets.

“Umm... Roy and his majesty... is it okay if we come here together?” Ellen asked.

“There’s no one else to ask. The one who knows Roy most among you four is just you. You already know how he fight in close combat, and you didn’t tell anyone about it, right? That mean you can keep a secret. That’s why we take you here with Roy’s portal since you won’t tell anyone about Roy’s portal.” Albert said.

“Anyway, why are you even here? You should be home already.” I asked Albert who followed us here.

“I’m curious about this barrier. Can we put the same barrier around the capital? If so, any stampede won’t be a problem. You also think that the perpetrator might still be here and the possibility that he’s a member of the cult, right?”

“That’s just a possibility. Ellen, we’re here. Try to pass this barrier. If you can, then you are completely cured.” I said to Ellen.

“I want to try it again! Hmm... I can’t.”

Victoria transformed into her human form and tries to enter the barrier, but she failed. There’s nothing blocking her, but she just instinctively felt that it’s dangerous to enter any further.

Then, Ellen tries to enter the barrier. And she can do it easily. There’s nothing blocking her anymore.

“I’m fine. Should I keep moving forward?” She asked.

“Let’s go together. The barrier is about 80m deep. Let’s have you walk the whole way through first.”

The three of us walked easily inside the barrier while Victoria is just watching from the outside.

“That’s it. You’re no longer a monster. Congratulations.” I congratulate Ellen for returning back into human again.

“Now that’s one thing taken care of. Let’s investigate about the area here first.” Albert said.

“You do that. Ellen will be with you and Victoria will watch you from afar. I will see if there’s anyone that looked like the man in description around the village.”

And so, I left the others as I look around the village to find the perpetrator. I ran in the air and look over the village and anywhere outside the village a few times, and didn’t see anyone in the description. I guess he’s no longer in the village anymore.

I returned to Albert’s location and see him digging something.

“Found something?” I asked.

“That was rather quick. Look at this. This is a rare thing that I thought supposed to be extinct already.” ????????????????ℯ????????． cｏ????

What Albert shows me is a flower, with a giant potato-like root under it. What is this plant?

“This is called Dragon Dung Flower. Because the root has similar look like a dragon’s dung, and has similar effect of repelling nearby monsters. Making other monsters afraid of getting closer.” Albert explained.

“...whoever named a flower like that, need to die.” I said.

“I’ll bring this one back with me so Marie can research on it and see if we can breed this flower and get them around the capital. Then other cities as well.”

“At least we found something already. Now, where’s my payment?” I asked.

“I haven’t submitted the quest formally, so it’s not a quest. And I’m the one who find out about this flower. I’ll change the quest into going to the village and cure everyone. No one spared. Even with all the advantage, it will be dangerous if someone we can’t trust have that much power.”

Albert is right. Just not needing to sleep alone can have someone finish a lot of things in one day. That’s a power no human should have.

I returned back to Cassau with Ellen and Victoria after sending Albert to the royal palace. I’ll do the formal investigation once I received my medical license.
