Peace Hunter

"Rid, how come you were able to heal them both with your healing magic?" asked Queen Kayana.

I was both surprised and confused by what Queen Kayana had said.

"I just learned that wounds caused by Dark Magic attacks can't be healed except with healing potions from the Sancta Lux church or with healing magic derived from Light Magic. If that's the case, how come I was able to heal them? The healing magic I used was normal healing magic, not Light Magic. I can use Light Magic, but I've never used it in public," I thought.

"I don't know either, Your Majesty. I only learned about the wounds caused by Dark Magic attacks after Your Majesty explained them. At first, I thought they were just ordinary wounds, so I took the initiative to heal Commander Oliver and Commander Asier. I was able to heal the wounds on both of their bodies, but I didn't expect them to be incurable with ordinary healing magic. I was confused, even though the magic I used was ordinary healing magic. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, please look at my hand," I said.

Then I extended my right hand forward and activated healing magic.

~Full Healing~

A white mana aura appeared in my hand, but it didn't glow brightly like Light Magic. This mana aura in my hand was the mana aura of healing magic.

"As you can see, Your Majesty, my healing magic isn't bright like ~Light Magic~. This healing magic is the same as the one I used earlier on Commander Asier and Commander Oliver. You must have also noticed the white Mana aura on my hands when I was healing Commander Oliver and Commander Asier. This Mana aura is the same as the one I'm emitting right now," I said.

Then, Her Majesty the Queen took a closer look at the Mana aura on my hands. Commander Asier and Commander Oliver also noticed.

"Hmm, you're right. The Mana aura on your hands isn't bright like ~Light Magic~. That means your healing magic isn't derived from ~Light Magic~," said Queen Kayana.

"Yes, I agree, Your Majesty. ~Light Magic~ is characterized by its bright color, but there is debate among people about its true color. Some say it's bright white, while others say it's bright gold. It's natural for there to be debate among them because ~Light Magic~ is a rare magic that can only be used by the Angel race. Not many people have seen ~Light Magic~ because the Angel race rarely descends 'below'. There are indeed people from races other than the Angel race who can use ~Light Magic~, but those who can use ~Light Magic~ are only those who have received blessings from Angels. Those people are very few in number. Well, basically, ~Light Magic~ is bright, no matter what color it is,"

"Seeing that the Mana aura on young master Rid's hand is not bright, it can be confirmed that the healing magic that young master Rid possesses does not come from light magic," said Commander Oliver.

Commander Asier nodded in agreement.

"Even so, I'm still confused as to how the ordinary healing magic you used could heal wounds caused by Dark Magic," said Queen Kayana.

Queen Kayana fell silent. So did Commander Asier and Commander Oliver.

"Well, there's no point in dwelling on it. Besides, Asier and Sir Oliver have also been healed. I previously ordered Sir Oliver and Asier to hurry to that place to seek healing before it becomes filled with people injured by Dark Magic as well. The place I was referring to was the Sancta Lux Church in this capital. I ordered Sir Oliver and Asier to go there and have the Priests heal them with healing potions. But now that Sir Oliver and Asier have been healed, I don't need to order them to go there anymore. Well then, let's proceed to check on the academy principal, Lord Remy, and Marquess Marcelo, who has transformed into a demon. Let's go inside the courthouse," said Queen Kayana.

"Yes, Your Majesty," the three of us said.

The four of us began to enter the courthouse. However, just as we stepped inside, we encountered Miss Karina and Duke Remy, who were about to leave.

"Eh, Ka- i mean Ms. Principal. What a coincidence, we met here. We were just about to check on you and Lord Remy inside," said Queen Kayana.

"What a coincidence, Your Majesty. Lord Remy and I wanted to approach you after we sensed your aura outside the courthouse. I never expected to see you here. And thank you for worrying about us," said Miss Karina.

"You don't need to thank me, Ms. Principal. Rather, how are you two? Judging by your bodies, you seem quite battered," said Queen Kayana.

Queen Kayana spoke after noticing several wounds on Miss Karina and Duke Remy.

"Also, why is there a tree trunk wrapped around your stomach, Lord Remy?" asked Queen Kayana.

After Queen Kayana asked that, Duke Remy turned to Miss Karina. Miss Karina also turned to Duke Remy and nodded as if signaling to him.

"This tree trunk is a product of the academy principal's plant magic, Your Majesty The reason it's wrapped around my stomach right now is because it's covering the wound on my stomach. This wound on my stomach is a result of a Dark Magic attack, so ordinary healing magic won't be able to heal it," said Duke Remy.

"That's right, Your Majesty. I may have managed to revive Lord Remy, who was previously unconscious, but I couldn't heal him. Even the healing from my plant magic couldn't heal it. So all I could do for Lord Remy was cover his wound to prevent excessive bleeding. Furthermore, several wounds on my body also couldn't be healed due to the Dark Magic attack. Therefore, after we both approached and met with you, we both wanted to go to the Sancta Lux church and ask the Priests to heal our wounds with their healing potions," said Miss Karina.

"Hmm, I see. After this, you two intend to go to the Sancta Lux Church, huh?," said Queen Kayana.

"Yes, Your Majesty," said Miss Karina and Duke Remy.

Then Queen Kayana seemed to be thinking about something, then turned to me.

"Rid, please heal them both," said Queen Kayana.

"Is that okay, Your Majesty?" I asked.

"It's fine. It's better to heal them now than to go to the Sancta Lux Church first," said Queen Kayana.

"Yes, Your Majesty," I said.

Then, I walked over to Miss Karina and Lord Remy and prepared to heal them. Meanwhile, Miss Karina looked confused about what I was going to do.

"Wait, Your Majesty. I know that Rid can use healing magic, but there's no way he can heal wounds caused by a ~Dark Magic~ attack," said Miss Karina.

"Just stay still and see what happens, Ms. Principal," said Queen Kayana.

Then, I extended both my hands toward Miss Karina and Duke Remy.

~Full Healing~

I immediately healed Miss Karina and Duke Remy with healing magic. Not long after, their bodies were completely healed. Miss Karina and Duke Remy were surprised to find that their bodies had recovered.

"Ms. Principal, I think my stomach is now healed. Could you please remove the tree trunk wrapped around my stomach?" asked Duke Remy.

"Yes, Lord Remy," said Miss Karina.

Then Miss Karina removed the vines wrapped around Duke Remy's stomach. After the vines were removed, Duke Remy's stomach was now completely healed, with no wounds on it. Duke Remy was surprised to see his stomach completely healed, as was Miss Karina.

"The wound on Duke Remy's stomach has completely healed. The wounds on my body have also healed. Rid, how did you heal us?" asked Miss Karina.

"I don't know myself, miss. I just used healing magic as usual," I said.

"You're surprised too, aren't you, Ms. principal, Lord Remy? I was surprised too when I saw Rid heal Asier and Sir Oliver's wounds. They were actually from a Dark Magic attack. I've personally checked that the healing magic Rid used wasn't Light Magic, and Sir Oliver and Asier also checked. As you both saw, there was no bright light when Rid used his healing magic, which means it wasn't Light Magic," said Queen Kayana.

"The only things that can heal wounds caused by Dark Magic attacks are the healing potions from the Sancta Lux Church or the healing magic from Light Magic. If Rid's healing magic isn't Light Magic, then where does his healing magic come from that can heal wounds caused by Dark Magic attacks?" asked Miss Karina.

"I don't know. I'm confused as to how his healing magic could heal those wounds. Even Rid himself is confused," said Queen Kayana.

Then Miss Karina turned to me.

"Rid, where did you learn that healing magic?" asked Miss Karina.

"I learned it from a book my parents left behind, miss," I said.

"Hmm, I see. It seems your parents were truly mysterious people," said Miss Karina.

Then, Miss Karina turned to Queen Kayana.

"Rather than that, should we keep the fact that Rid can heal wounds caused by ~Dark Magic~ a secret from the public?" Miss Karina asked Queen Kayana.

"Hmm, actually, after this, I intend to ask Rid for help healing people who have been injured by ~Dark Magic~ attacks. If we only rely on healing potions from the ~Sancta Lux~ church, I'm afraid the Sancta Lux church won't have enough potions to heal people injured by ~Dark Magic~ attacks. Especially if the number of injured people is quite large. Therefore, I intend to ask Rid for help healing such people. Are you willing if I ask you to heal people injured by ~Dark Magic~ attacks, Rid?" Queen Kayana asked me.

"If that is your request, then I am willing, Your Majesty," I said.

"Thank you, Rid. Therefore, since Rid is willing to help heal those people, it seems like the information about Rid being able to heal wounds caused by ~Dark Magic~ attacks will spread widely to the public. Moreover, if later Rid wants to heal those people, Diganta appears who wants to publish news about the incident at this courthouse. They will definitely publish news about Rid being able to heal wounds caused by ~Dark Magic~ too and news about it will certainly spread widely throughout the San Fulgen kingdom," said Queen Kayana.

"Isn't that too dangerous for Rid, Your Majesty? What if dangerous people come after Rid after learning that Rid has that ability? They'll think that if Rid can heal wounds caused by ~Dark Magic~ attacks, surely he can also heal other, more serious injuries. Those people will definitely target Rid, kidnap him, and make Rid a 'money-making machine' for them because of his healing abilities," said Miss Karina.

I fell silent after hearing Miss Karina's words. Meanwhile, Queen Kayana laughed after hearing Miss Karina's words.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect you to think that way, Ka- I mean, Ms. principal. Indeed, if Rid's healing abilities were to become public knowledge, Rid might be targeted by dangerous people. However, would those dangerous people be able to resist and kidnap Rid? Even Rid managed to kill many of Duke San Angela's knights and some of their 'subjects', like Javier and Enzo, when they tried to kill Rid. If Rid were indeed targeted by dangerous people, I'm sure he could easily handle them," said Queen Kayana.

"Then, what about the church people?" asked Miss Karina.

Queen Kayana, who had been laughing, immediately fell silent after hearing Miss Karina's words.

"What do you mean?" asked Queen Kayana.

"As we know, wounds caused by Dark Magic attacks can only be healed by healing potions from the Sancta Lux church or healing magic derived from Light Magic. Light Magic is a rare magic possessed only by the Angel race or people who receive blessings from Angels. The God, or perhaps more precisely, the Goddess worshipped by followers of the Sancta Lux religion is an Archangel who is the leader of the Angel race. So it could be said that the two things that can heal wounds caused by Dark Magic are related to the Sancta Lux religion and its church,"

"Then suddenly there was news or information stating that there was someone who could heal wounds caused by Dark Magic. And that person could heal the wounds without either of the two things related to the Sancta Lux religion. Wouldn't the people of the Sancta Lux church be shocked after hearing that news? Previously, they only knew that the only thing that could heal wounds caused by Dark Magic was their healing potions or Light Magic healing magic, and suddenly someone could heal that wound without any connection to either of two things, there was no way they wouldn't be surprised. They would probably start to investigate in more detail. They might even start to find out more about Rid by spying on him or approaching him directly."

"There's certainly a reason why they would start to investigate Rid. As I said earlier, the two things that can heal wounds caused by ~Dark Magic~ are related to angels and the Sancta Lux religion. If Rid's healing ability appears to be the third thing that can heal those wounds, what if they think Rid might be related to the Sancta Lux religion or even have a direct connection to the Angel race itself? If that were the case, they would surely consider Rid a 'saint', just like those who receive blessings from Angels," asked Miss Karina.

"If Rid is considered a 'saint' by them, wouldn't that be good? Well, while it might be uncomfortable because they might worship Rid, at least they won't do anything that could harm or threaten Rid," said Queen Kayana.

"Perhaps it's good if they consider Rid a 'saint,' but what if they think the opposite? Rid isn't considered a 'saint,' but rather a 'heretic', by them," said Miss Karina.

"'Heretic'?," said Queen Kayana, slightly surprised.

"They consider Rid, who can heal wounds caused by ~Dark Magic~ without any connection to the Sancta Lux religion, to be heretical or a trick."

"Also, with Rid being able to heal those wounds, the Sancta Lux church will feel threatened. You know that the Sancta Lux church always charges a fee for the healing they perform, including healings using their healing potions," said Miss Karina.

"Yes, I know that. Initially, I intended to cover the costs of all victims who received healing from the Sancta Lux church," said Queen Kayana.

"Some people may have received healing at the Sancta Lux church, but if some of the injured people are healed by Rid, then the Sancta Lux church will not get much income because of that. Of course they will be rivaled by Rid. Maybe they will label Rid as a 'heretic' who is trying to harm the Sancta Lux church or something like that. If that is true, they will definitely intend to do something evil to Rid like kill him,"

"You will definitely not be worried about that, Your Majesty. As you said earlier, Rid can definitely easily deal with people who want to kill him. But if Rid deals with people from the Sancta Lux church, let alone kill those who try to kill him, the problem does not end there. Although in this kingdom there are several Sancta Lux churches including the main church in the capital San Estella, but their church center is in the Holy Kingdom, Svetais. Maybe the church people who intend to kill Rid are only church people from the Sancta Lux church in this kingdom. However, if Rid succeeds in killing them, it would mean he would have to deal with the central church of Sancta Lux in the Holy Kingdom, Svetais.

"In short, Rid would become the target of the entire central church of Sancta Lux and the Holy Kingdom itself," said Miss Karina.
