Chapter 10: Advanced Level Healing Magic
Another year has passed, I have now successfully completed eight years of life in this great world.
Also...I already have a younger brother, Philemon Notos Greyrat, after a week of starting my classes, it was discovered that my mother was one month pregnant.
This was certainly a big surprise for me since after so many years I thought I would be the only child in the family, but obviously I do not hold a grudge against my younger brother, and I was able to corroborate that he is not a reincarnated person, but a normal and adorable baby.
Having a younger brother is really nice, plus I fondly remember the care my older brother had for me and I want Philemon to have those same memories of me, so i have to work hard!!
Now my little brother is four months old and now lives with my mother in her room and I was assigned my own room in another part of the mansion...
It should be noted that Philemon's birth was quite dangerous, my mother bled internally as soon as my brother was born, but with my healing magic I was able to save her in time...
Now my mother and brother spend their days in the room that I used to share with my mother...I'm not jealous at all!!
But well, leaving that aside I could see that the healing magic classes started from the beginner level...but I told my teacher that I already knew that...but she ignored me!!! It also forced me to keep up with the other students!!!
What kind of fucking joke is that?! It was the same with the elemental magic classes, but in those I stayed quiet and stood out as the best in the class.
But with the magic circle classes it was another story, as I now learned how to make magic circles for the activation of intermediate range spells in the four elements.
I haven't found a real use for these circles, but the method is faster than chanting the spells as it is simply pouring the mana into the drawing.
Now I've moved on to the second year of seven and the classes are still the same, there haven't been any big changes in my life after all, but it's not something that interests me too much.
[3rd point of view]
In a large mansion in the north of Ars Dante Zephirus Greyrat was having breakfast as usual, and was also waiting for a report from his daughter Hilda, Since she was very young, she was given the mission of seducing Paul Notos Greyrat, the heir of the leading faction in the Greyrat surname.
Dante was a middle-aged man and still remembered with anger how Amarant stole his position as leader of the Greyrat through lies and deceit, the title was his!
His father Alan Zephirus Greyrat always filled his head with ideas about being the heir only for him to be betrayed by the one he considered his brother.
However, he would not sit idly by, since Paul was born he had already decided that his daughter would seduce him, so that was his main priority.
On top of all this, he made an alliance with Saurus Boreas Greyrat, leader the Boreas faction to help him overthrow Amarant, with the promise of the Notos lands.
It was a risky plan, Dante, in order to be in power, was determined to eradicate one of his family lines and would not hesitate to do so, So every day she eagerly awaited the report on her daughter's progress.
His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a door opening and revealing an 11-year-old girl with red hair and a solemn expression on his face but also frustration.
Dante, seeing his daughter's expression, raised an eyebrow as he looked at her expectantly.
"I'm very sorry father, but yesterday was not fruitful either, Lord Paul seems to know my plans and now he is knowingly ignoring me..." she murmured with a bow.
"tch!..." Dante couldn't help but click his tongue in frustration, but deep down he was already expecting this result.
Despite the Notos' reputation for being extremely promiscuous, Paul was just a child, at that age the kids believed that having a girlfriend was a punishment so he was not so disappointed
"I'm very sorry father, but I'm confident that I will inherit my mother's genes and my breasts will grow so that I can effectively seduce him" she murmured.
At this mention Dante's gaze instinctively traveled to his daughter's breasts, despite her age she was already showing signs of physical maturity with B cup breasts.
It would only be a matter of time before Paul grew up and his hormones went wild, so Hilda could make her move and trap Paul and lure him to the side of the Zephirus.
"Don't worry, focus on making friends with him, you can go" Dante said, Hilda bowed and left the room.
"It's just a matter of time Amarant...you'll see soon..." Dante murmured in a tone laden with venom.

[Paul Pov]
Today I would be starting my life as a second year student, there were not too many changes and I was able to discover that we could change a subject if we wanted but I decided to continue as I was.
Except for one class, the language class...
I had never heard of this before, but it seems that we were available for children in second grade and up, so without hesitation I signed up for that class anyway.
Philip and Hilda would also move on to third grade, those at the academy knew us as the Greyrat trio for always being together, although in reality I was only with Philip and Hilda followed us everywhere.
Although that really bothers me, the girl is only close to me to seduce me, I even told this to my father and he laughed out loud.
"Fucking Dante! Always jealous and stupid!" My father said with a genuine smile that i had seen in all my life knowing him, perhaps he saw this attempt as something pathetic.
I won't deny it, Hilda shouldn't be doing this for any reason, what would happen if i were a precocious child and raped her?!, doesn't her father think about that?!
(sigh) all this noble shit is just stressful.
But leaving those thoughts out of my mind I got ready to go to class again, it's been a long time since I learned new magic and I was already getting anxious...
...
The first thing I did when I arrived at the academy was to try to go unnoticed in the hallways while I went to Minerva's classes, and why? Simply because of a girl with red hair!!
So, Mission Impossible style, I sneaked through the huge halls of the academy until I reached my classroom and...
"Oh? Good morning Lord Paul, I see we'll be in the same class from now on, right?" A girl with red hair and a brown dress said with a seductive smile that did not match her age...
I just let out a sigh in defeat and closed the door behind me.
"Good morning Madam Hilda, as beautiful as ever" I murmured as I sat down next to her, there was no other way, if I sat anywhere else she would follow me.
"Oh? Fufu, stop it Lord Paul, you don't know the effect those words have on me!" She said dramatically as she covered her cheeks with her hands and writhed like a worm.
Seriously, who taught her those seduction techniques?...
The next to arrive was Philip who, seeing Hilda now in our class, the poor thing turned red and sat on a bench next to us.
"Good morning Paul, Lady Hilda..." He said with a murmur at the end.
We both answered and waited for the other students until Minerva arrived.
The classes went normally, only me and surprisingly Hilda can do healing magic at this point, although Hilda only at beginner level.
The curriculum was that the children would graduate with at least intermediate-level healing magic so I didn't expect them to learn it anytime soon...
...
Again it was a class which I considered a waste of time, they seemed more like medicine classes than anything else, I can only assume that it is because it is a complex mafia in this world and requires great care.
The only important thing I've learned from these classes is that if a spell chant goes wrong the healed part will start to mutate uncontrollably due to the failed spell, so there was no need to make a mistake with the words of the spell.
But I was already at the limit of my patience, I needed to learn a new spell and fast...
So when classes ended I sneaked back into the classroom where Minerva was.
When I came back in she was taking down the canvas she uses as a blackboard and she gave me a strange look.
"Young Master Paul? What's wrong? You should be in your classes already," Minerva murmured.
"Teacher, I want to talk to you seriously, it's about my spells" I said.
Minerva raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms but nodded.
"Tell me what's bothering you?" She asked.
"Master...I want to learn advanced level healing magic...please" I murmured
Minerva's expression turned into a frown at this and she stared at me.
"I'm afraid I can't do that Young Master Paul, you must go step by step to master your spells" she said.
"...but the problem is that I already know even Intermediate Level Healing Magic, I can make it a master!!" I declared.
Minerva's frown only deepened as she looked at me and spoke again.
"You know I don't like jokes young master Paul, I won't tolerate any more" she said in a stern tone.
I sighed and looked around...she wants a demonstration, huh?...
I quickly pulled a small, ten-centimeter knife out of my tunic, I had stolen it from the mansion's kitchen in case something happened and that something was now...
Minerva's eyes widened as she placed the knife near my wrist, more specifically the vein area.
(sigh) I didn't even do this attention-seeking kid shit in my lowest moments, that's what I thought as I made a diagonal cut on my wrist.
Uhhhh...that was a deep one!
Suddenly a jet of blood began to come out of my hand while pain invaded me.
"Young master?!..." Minerva screamed as she ran towards me and put her hand on my wrist.
"Wait!!" I yelled as I pulled away from her and put my own hand on my wrist
"Oh merciful mother of gods, please heal this one's wounds, and let him recover with a healthy body. X-Healing." I muttered and a green glow came out of my hand closing my wound in an instant.
Fuuuu...I didn't think that one through, I guess next time I'll do it in a less sensitive place...
I looked at Minerva and she was in complete shock at the scene she just witnessed.
"Uhh...please teacher! You see! I'm an intermediate healing magician! Teach me the advanced rank please!!" I muttered.
Minerva blinked several times and then looked into my eyes in surprise and then sighed.
"W-well...but where did you learn that from?..." She asked.
"I had a magic teacher when I was younger, but she only knew up to the intermediate range So I signed up for his class to advance in rank" I muttered.
"Yeah yeah, that makes sense..." She said.
"Go to your class and meet me at dismissal time, I will teach you there" she stated and I nodded.
...
After some totally boring classes and asking Philip to entertain Hilda, I was able to quickly go to Minerva's classroom again.
Here we had agreed to meet and it was just a matter of how things would develop for her to teach me.
When I opened the door I was greeted by the sight of Teacher Minerva along with...a piece of meat on his desk?!...
She noticed my bewildered look and sighed.
"We won't be using my body or yours to test magic, if it goes wrong it'll just be a bit of wasted food ughh!" She said with an effort at the end as she pulled off what looked like a leg, Apparently it was meat from an animal similar to a chicken and she brought the hips and legs.
"Okay, I'll start reciting the spell, pay attention okay?..." She murmured and I nodded firmly as I approached her.
"...Angel of miracles, infuse your heavenly breath into the heartbeat of your life, Heavenly Sun, divine messengers hate the color red, dive into a sea of light and spread your white and pure wings,This is how we will expel the red color, Shine healing!"
She slowly and deliberately chanted the spell reciting each word with absolute precision, when she finished her spell a greenish glow came from her hand and the leg of the previously torn off animal rejoined me with the original body as if nothing had happened.
It was glorious...
The severed limb was completely regenerated, but according to Minerva this spell was not powerful enough to regenerate lost limbs.
"Very well young master, now you try it" Minerva said and I nodded.
"Angel of Miracles..."
After saying the complete spell I quickly placed my hand on another of the animal's severed legs and in an instant they were joined again.
As if by magic, but that didn't apply in this world.
"wow...Young Master Paul, you are truly quite a prodigy..." Minerva murmured in shock.
A feeling of pride flooded through me and a smile appeared on my face.
"Yes, after all I was trained by the best magic teacher possible!" I muttered.
"Heh, I see, you have enormous potential young Paul, come tomorrow and I will teach you advanced level detoxification magic as well" she said and I nodded excitedly leaving the room.
Today was a good day, finally after years I learned a new spell!!
I ran to the outskirts of the academy with excitement, I had to tell this to mom, but I stopped for a moment to look at the sky
Since Philip pointed it out, it had become a habit of mine to look at that red orb in the sky. Many people had already seen it in the same way but they didn't pay attention to it.
Although it is strange, since the globe has grown a bit since Philemon was born, I wonder what it will be...
