Chapter 251 They should have just given us a single bed.
"The Mage was blessed by the God of Magic, so copying that won't be possible."
Hearing Vaan's reply, all the Professors lowered their heads in disappointment.
A moment later, one of the professors glanced at Vaan and Elara, and,
"The two of you should move into the Healing Division, although your injuries aren't life-threatening, they could still leave unwanted marks if they are not taken care of."
The rest of the Professors nodded. Octavius then glanced at Vaan and nodded as well. Then, he turned around, and Luke, whom Vaan once met and had a verbal bout with stepped forward and guided the two of them to the Healing Division.
The rest of the students were then sent out and once there were only Professors left, Octavius sighed again,
"We still have nothing."
He commented.
Other Professors had grave looks on their faces as well.
"Who knows how much those bastards know about us."
Another one commented.
The Humans had indeed lost most of the information they had on the Demons, however, whether the same was true for the Demons or not, that was unknown.
But if one thought about it carefully, deducing the answer wasn't exactly difficult and the answer was probably not something the humans wanted to accept.
Unlike Humans, who barely lived for 100 years, with the ridiculously strong ones being able to live for 150 years, the demons were different, a 100-year Demon was still considered young. On average, those beings lived for around 500 years and the stronger ones even lasted for 700 to 800 years.
Not only that, but unlike the humans, where the power was divided into different factions with each faction thinking about their own benefit and even clashing against other parties when required, the Demons were different.
All the power there was divided between the Seven Churches of Darkness, with each Church working for the betterment of the Demon Race and serving the Demon God, or the God of Darkness.
Of course, there were differences between the Seven Churches as well, however, unlike the Human Powers where things sometimes lead to Wars, the same never happened with the Demons.
In other words, the demons were more… organized compared to the Humans, this, combined with their long lives, the chances that they lost the information they had on the humans like humans were… extremely low.
Heck, in these 5000 years, they must have gathered even more information while the Humans…
Well, they didn't have anything in their hands.
"Alright, there is no point discussing it any further, I will inform other Major powers that our students saw a Demon in the Past Era and tell them everything he revealed to us even though it is not much."
Octavius spoke with a calm look on his face, the other Professors nodded and soon, the room was emptied out and was shut closed. Only to be opened when any other student successfully collected 5 Excellence Stars and receives the chance to enter the Past Era.
…
On the other side, Vaan and Elara sat inside the Medic Room and stared at each other.
"They should have just given us a single bed."
Vaan commented.
"These beds are only for a single person, there isn't space for two people," Elara answered.
"Your point?" Vaan tilted his head in confusion and Elara couldn't help but chuckle. Then, she nodded as well,
"Single bed would have been better."
The two laughed at each other before turning silent again.
There were a lot of things the two of them wanted to talk about, however, both of them had the mutual understanding that those things should not be mentioned while they were inside the Medic room where there could be people keeping an eye on them.
They simply waited for the Healer to arrive, which, for some reason, was taking much more time than they initially thought.
"I apologize for making you wait,"
While the two were thinking about it, they heard a gentle voice.
A voice the two of them recognized in an instant. The two turned towards the door and their eyes fell on Selene Rainwarden, the Student Council President who was walking towards them with a gentle smile on her face.
"I didn't think I would meet you two this soon," Selene greeted politely.
Vaan narrowed his eyes. In an instant, he understood why it took so much time for a healer to arrive.
"We are glad to meet you as well, Senior Selene."
Seeing that Vaan hadn't answered, Elara filled in.
Selene smiled as she then walked towards the two of them, then seeing their injuries, she frowned in worry, "The two of you should be careful. It is good that you are focused, but the information we have about the Past Era is too limited, the beings who reside there are not people we with our current forces could fathom.
Anything can go wrong and any point in time. The two of you need to realize that you are the people the humanity cannot lose, you need to take better care of yourselves.
Getting hurt in the Past Era is not accepted, is that clear?"
This was the first time Vaan and Elara had heard Selene's strict tone, her voice was naturally gentle, however, that didn't mean her strict tone sounded funny, rather, it gave her an even stronger presence.
Vaan didn't like how she was trying to order them around, however, the fact that she was doing it out of worry for them, he couldn't retort.
"We will take care in the future." Vaan nodded.
Selene then smiled, her strict expression melting in an instant.
"That is good."
The woman nodded.
Then, she glanced at Elara and,
"And don't worry about your injuries, I will heal them in an instant."
Elara nodded with a smile as well.
"You will do it?" Vaan was taken by surprise.
"Hm?" Selene tilted her head in confusion.
"Aren't you a 4th Circle Mage, as a basic Mage, you couldn't possibly have awakened the Healing Element or anything similar to that, how are you going to heal us?"
Vaan questioned and Selene couldn't help but chuckle,
"I thought you would look into me after you meet me, was I not interesting enough to get into your eyes?"
"I simply prefer not to look into people's information, I respect their privacy."
Of course, this was nothing more than bullshit. Vaan simply didn't have enough time to look into this woman since he was busy preparing for Ancient Ruins and his mind games with Declan.
As for getting into his eyes… well, Selene had far exceeded that level. Vaan regarded her as an opponent far more difficult to deal with compared to Declan.
Declan was strong, however, getting into his head didn't seem very difficult.
This woman, on the other hand, was very different in that regard. This is the second time Vaan was meeting her and till now, he has nothing over this woman.
She continued to have a gentle smile on her face and never once had her fake front faltered. It was almost as if this was her real self, which of course, wasn't true. Vaan refused to believe that Selene was as perfect as others thought her to be.
A person who is too perfect is lying.
Selene was just better at hiding the truth than others. Of course, Vaan was confident that he would soon make her reveal her real self in front of him, then, it would truly be interesting to have a chat with the Student Council President.
"Is that so? That is quite grand and respectworthy. I can never do it. My curiosity takes the best of me and I often find looking into the information of the people I find interesting.
So I apologize for looking into the two of you before meeting you."
Selene slightly bowed her head, then, with a smile, she continued,
"To make things even, let me reveal a few things about me,
Yes, you were correct, I am a 4th Circle Mage and I have not yet awakened my Nexus Element however, this doesn't mean I cannot heal others, as the Follower of the God of Light, I can use my blessing to Heal others.
I know what you are thinking, abusing God's blessing like this shouldn't be accepted and it should only be used as the last straw, since, well, most humans can only use their blessings a limited number of times because of the toll it takes on the body.
However, my opinions differ from you,
I believe that Healing other life forms and relieving their pain is the best way in which you can serve my benevolent God of Light and from the looks of it, my God seems to agree with my opinion.
I have no restrictions or limitations when it comes to using my Blessing."
Selene revealed and Vaan's eyes widened in surprise,
"What…?"
As if used to receiving such a reaction, Selene just smiled and,
"I can use my God's blessing as many times as I want and it will not have any harmful effect on my body."
