My Three Classes Are Supposed to Be Average

Max walked down the hallway, deep in his own thoughts. Suddenly, someone stepped up to walk beside him. Turning to see who it was, he realized it was the curly-haired girl he had healed yesterday.

"Hello, Young Master," she said without looking at him.

"Hello, Ms. Alicia. How are you feeling today? Do you feel the old symptoms returning?" Max asked. Looking at the side of her face, he did not notice any yellow tone on her skin now.

"Young Master, just call me Alicia. And no, the old symptoms are completely gone; I feel very good," she replied.

"That is good to hear, Alicia. If you feel any discomfort or if the symptoms return, let me know. And one more thing, don't forget to vote for me," Max said as they entered the combined classroom.

All the Healer students were already present in the room. As usual, he received a lot of gazes, but today, those looks were entirely different from previous days. Some students nodded their heads at him, while others took the initiative to offer greetings. For Max, this was a completely new experience.

Soon, he took a seat in the middle row, with Alicia and Jeannie sitting down beside him. As they waited for the Healing Theory teacher to arrive, an old lady entered the classroom. Before she could even take her place behind the desk, she began to speak.

"Everyone, I hope you have all completed the assignments I requested. I also hope you have one hundred percent clarity on the Basics of Healing before we move on to the next topic," the old lady stated, her eyes sweeping across the class.

"If you have any questions so far, feel free to ask them now, before we move on to intermediate Healing topics," she added.

Over the past month and a half, the old lady had taught them about the basics of Healing, explaining how natural Healing worked to cure surface wounds and minor symptoms like headaches and sprains. In the general knowledge of the public, whenever they talked about Healing, they always considered basic Healing magican ability that every Healer class possessed.

However, this basic Healing magic was only useful for the most fundamental needs. Once a condition went beyond simple surface wounds or a headache, this basic Healing magic would no longer be very effective.

As far as Max knew from his reading, the fundamentals of Healing Magic changed at every stage. Currently, however, he only utilized his Skill like general basic Healing Magic. He simply activated the Skill with Mana, and the Skill handled the rest for him. Yet, he could see that this would eventually create an issue. Although he might have to use the same Skill even in intermediate or advanced healing, he could not simply push his Mana blindly every time. Therefore, today's topic would be very useful for his overall growth and his upcoming commitments regarding healing.

It was not just Max; the entire class was in a state of complete concentration, their backs straight and faces forward. Sitting beside him, Jeannie looked at the old lady with sparkling eyes. She held a great interest in learning how to heal a broken bone rather than simply healing surface wounds. This fire directly stemmed from her inability to heal Anne's ankle during their Dungeon Expedition.

"Everyone knows the three basic principles of healing," the old woman began.

"Stabilize the patient's condition."

"Restore damaged tissue."

"Replenish what the body has lost."

The old lady paused for a second as she looked at all the students, checking to see if there were any doubts or questions.

"Intermediate Healing begins where those principles stop being sufficient," the old lady said as she raised one finger.

"Suppose a patient has suffered severe internal bleeding. What should you do first?" she asked the whole class.

A few bright students raised their hands, as they had already learned about it. The old lady pointed at one of the girls sitting in the front row.

"Stabilize the patient before repairing the damage," the girl answered.

"That is the correct answer. Next, suppose the patient has a damaged organ."

Again, several hands were raised. She selected someone from the left side of the seating arrangement.

"Repair the organ after stabilizing the surrounding tissues," the girl replied.

"Correct again. Now, suppose the body is suffering from something that is actively causing damage," the old lady asked.

To her question, the class remained quiet; not a single hand was raised. However, Arthur did not understand the silence from the students. If these girls had read the details regarding the previous questions and answers, they would have naturally read the answer for this question as well. After all, he had read the exact same question and answer.

Arthur raised his hand since he knew the answer. Seeing his raised hand, everyone's eyes turned toward him. The old lady also saw Arthur and nodded her head, signaling for him to answer the question.

"Identify the cause of the damage first and immediately heal the damage," Arthur recited the steps he had read from the book.

"That is where inexperienced Healers make mistakes," the old lady said after hearing the answer.

Hearing the word "mistakes," Max was dumbfounded. Did that mean the answer was incorrect? He was confused, as he clearly remembered reading that exact step. Did I mix up the steps with another topic? he thought.

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

"Your answer is not entirely wrong." While Max was lost in his own train of thought, the old lady's voice rang out. Max quickly returned to his senses and listened carefully.

"But it is incomplete. More importantly, if you follow that principle blindly, you may kill your patient," she stated.

"Kill the patient?" Max's expression changed slightly.

"What happens when the thing causing the damage is inside the patient's body, and your Healing Skill immediately begins restoring the damaged tissue?" the teacher asked.

However, upon hearing this question, Max's perspective shifted. The cause of damage. This did not simply mean a disease was affecting the surrounding area, but rather that a third-party object was actively causing the damage.

"Imagine a patient suffering from a parasite that is consuming the tissues. If you begin restoring those tissues without first identifying the parasite, what do you think will happen?"

"Wouldn't the parasite continue consuming the newly restored tissue?" she asked. "Therefore, when I said 'suppose the body is suffering from something that is actively causing damage,' plenty of things could cause that. It is not only a parasite, but also poison, mistakes from incorrect healing, your own organs, or even your own Mana. So, when you treat a person, you should first identify what is causing the issue. Do not blindly use your generic healing on the person, as that would lead to a continuous loop of feeding the destruction."

Hearing this explanation, a girl raised her hand and asked, "Teacher, how can we identify the cause of the damage before we decide which type of healing is appropriate?"

"That is the topic of today's lesson. How we identify the cause before we perform the healing," the old lady said.

The teacher rummaged through her small pouch and took out an object that looked like a crystal. She held it up toward the class with her fingers; it was a jagged, two-inch, gray-colored crystal.

"This is a Diagnostic Crystal."

"Unlike ordinary Healing Magic, intermediate Healing requires you to understand what is happening inside the patient's body. You cannot repair what you do not understand," the teacher explained.

Immediately, Max's mind drifted to the girl he had healed yesterday evening. Although he had healed the girl without a clear idea of the diagnosis, it had somehow worked. Perhaps this was the doing of his Skill rather than his skillful usage of Healing Magic. But the question was whether the Skill [Salvation] was capable of curing every issue. Max believed it was capable, as the description stated exactly that.

[Salvation]Skill Proficiency: 3%

Description: Instantly restores a target's health to full and removes all negative conditions, preventing imminent death. Can only be used on targets that are still alive.

It removes all negative conditions. This part was important because, due to this, he was able to cure the poison and even resolve an issue that had persisted since childhood. If he thought about it, there would be no backlash from using this Skill, unlike the issues that would occur if they used Healing Magic blindly. The only restriction he faced with this Skill was that the person must be alive. That was a valid disadvantage.

However, this Skill did not put an end to the topic the teacher was currently teaching. Everything he currently believed about [Salvation] was purely his own speculation. There was still a possibility that the discussed issues might occur while using the Skill. Thus, instead of acting cocky, Max intently listened to the new concepts, as he only possessed very vague knowledge regarding them.

"These crystals have limited usage. You can use them to scan the patient's body and diagnose the issue. All you need to do is pour your Mana into it, and the crystal will do the rest of the work," the teacher explained.

Sending her Mana into the object, the crystal lit up brightly. She then quickly called a student from the front row to demonstrate how to use the crystal. The old lady directly placed the brightly lit crystal in front of the student's Mana core, which was located at the abdomen.

As soon as she placed it there, the crystal suspended itself in mid-air. It scanned the student's entire body, forming veins of light. The Mana paths and main organs were brightly manifested by the crystal.

"This is how we use the Diagnostic Crystal," the teacher stated.

Currently, a light replica of the girl stood before her. There were no issues with her organs, Mana paths, or nervous system; she looked healthy. Once the teacher finished the demonstration, she removed the crystal from the Mana core and sent the girl back to her seat and continued.

"However, merely possessing a Diagnostic Crystal does not make you capable of diagnosing a patient," the teacher said as she placed the crystal down on the table. "You must learn how to interpret what you see."

"Imagine that this crystal shows you a black patch inside a patient's stomach. What is it?"

A few students raised their hands. The old lady scanned the crowd and selected one girl from the second row.

"It could be accumulated poison," the girl answered.

"Good. Are there any other possibilities?" the teacher asked.

"It could be damaged tissue," another girl replied.

"Correct. Anything else?" the teacher asked, expecting more types of issues that it could be.

Following this, a girl sitting near the window raised her hand.

"It could be a parasite."

"Correct again." The teacher smiled faintly. "Very good speculations. Therefore, you should all consider every possibility before coming to a conclusion and starting your healing."

Hearing this, everyone nodded their heads.

"Diagnosis is very difficult. Even an experienced Healer like myself can struggle to identify the issue," the teacher explained. "But do not worry. Through experience, you will learn about all sorts of issues. Thus, when you go out into the world, you will have an easy way to narrow down the problem. However, you must remember one thing: a single abnormality can have multiple causes. If you misidentify the cause, applying the wrong treatment can turn a recoverable patient into a corpse. You must remember this until your grave," she warned.

Suddenly, one of the male Healer students raised his hand. "Teacher, do we need a Diagnostic Crystal every time we treat someone?" he asked.

"No, the Diagnostic Crystal is for beginner Healers and academic students. Eventually, you will all have to learn a technique called 'Mana Perception,' which we will cover when I teach Advanced Healing. For now, however, you will use this method to practice," the teacher replied.

Max listened carefully to everything and took proper notes. It was a very good class; he had gained a lot of understanding regarding the concepts he had already read about in his books. But when he thought about Mr. Thure's daughter, a problem emerged. She was only eleven, so she could not possibly have a Mana core. How, then, could one use a Diagnostic Crystal on her? Did that mean he had to use Mana Perception to check her issues?

Suddenly, he raised his hand. The teacher noticed him and nodded her head. Seeing this, the other students also waited eagerly for Max's question.

"Teacher, how are we supposed to perform a diagnosis on children who do not have a Mana Core? Do we need the Mana Perception technique to diagnose children?"

"A very good question. That is our next topic, and a very important one as well. The biggest limitation we Healers face, or rather, a limitation constructed by the world of nature, is that we can only use Basic Healing on children," the teacher explained. "The intermediate healing method of performing a diagnosis, or the advanced healing method of using Mana Perception, will not work on children who have yet to awaken their class and form a Mana Core."

This revelation shocked most of the students, but no one was more shocked than Max. He had never known about this. It was shocking news for him.
