After that, Segal also often came to stay at Mariel's house from Friday until Sunday. On Monday, when he returned to practice at Kehal's sword bureau, he would return to his own home. They often fought with Deric together on the weekend, but they always lost every time. The most important thing was not defeat but it was an experience that made both accumulate even more and it made their skills more advanced.
One day after returning home, Mariel sat alone in her bedroom thinking. In front of her was a Healing book which was a basic subject for healer class who also known as the supporter of team. These people were extremely important to the party because while the front and central forces were fighting against monsters and demons, the healer at their back would provide support skills and heal them which increased the power of various buffs for everyone and including using the fighting skills necessary to block enemy attacks for themself.
Knock! Knock! There was a knock at the door.
"You came come in." Marielle responded.
"You were reading until late at night, Mariel. Here was your hot tea." Claudia said as she brought hot herbal tea and served it to her daughter who was busy with the healing book at this moment.
"Oh! This textbook was about a basic healing class." Claudia was a little stunned because she thought her daughter was reading a martial arts textbook.
"Mom, If I would learn these basic healing skills, Is it possible?" Marielle asked curiously.
"I absolutely refuse, my dear. You were fully trained in the swordsman class which just using the skill of Primary Mind Coordination is enough. Although this was slower than healing skill but there was no need to use too much Qi and your concentration. It could harm your body." Claudia denied it harshly and explained the reason.
"Is it really that serious, Mom?" Mariel still asked curiously.
"Listen carefully to Me, my dear." Claudia took a deep breath and carefully explained to Mariel.
"In your body right now, The Qi energy is an attack line, each of which creates fire elemental energy in your body. Therefore, 2 types of elemental energy lines, which were the attack type and the healing type, couldn't be created at the same time because the healing line is the same green Qi as mine." After saying that, Claudia used her hands made direct contact with Mariel's hands, and then both closed their eyes.
Within the dark space after closing their eyes, Mariel saw Claudia's body in front of her. Within that body, there were countless amounts of green energy circulating throughout Claudia body but what's interesting was that these green Qi also had something like flowers with different shapes flowing around them as well.
Then they opened their eyes. There were so many questions in Mariel's head that she wanted to ask more.
"Did you see that? The green Qi included something like various flowers within Mother's body. Healing class is born from nature since ancient times. Our ancestors of healer class who are helping and saving the lives of others would mainly worship nature. They would take care of people and live with nature until they made the meditation on the Qi within their bodies. Then something amazing was born because nature began to sing together like the sound of harmony from heaven. Within those people's bodies, changes occurred. Everyone's white Qi lines gradually turned into a light green. The desires that wanted to help others, made them successful in healer class which included being able to remove various toxins from other people's bodies." Claudia explained in detail.
"And since then, they have gradually spread the knowledge of healing class until the present, am I right?" Mariel asked.
"Yes, Mariel. they built an altar to the god of healing, then opened a school of healer class to teach others and included traveling to distant lands to spread this knowledge until now." Claudia replied.
"And aside from healing, are there any other subjects, Mom?" Mariel asked further.
(In my opinion, aside from using healing magic to save other people's lives. Heals wounds received from battle and includes removing various toxins from the body. It probably still had other support magic skills.) (Chai thinking)
"Apart from the basic things, there is still the knowledge of creating a natural barrier to protect ourselves for a while or a spell that restores the Qi of the entire party as well." Claudia said.
"I really want to study these support skills." Mariel said, her eyes sparkling.
"You can't do it, my dear. Your body will be working too hard to create 2 power and support energy lines at the same time. If it gets to the point where it's beyond what you can bear. Your body will no longer respond because the Qi in your body will harm all the pulses within you." Claudia warned.
(When I listened to it, it sounded like I had read Chinese martial arts books before. It told of the power of Qi that there were too many streams in the body. This caused the pulse to be severed and the power to penetrate the body until it was completely broken and almost got deformed body. When I listened to the explanation, I immediately wanted to abandon the idea. But another part of my mind believed that if we tried hard and didn't force ourselves to practice too much, just took some of the basics and you should be able to endure it.) (Chai thinking)
"Then if I just ask to learn about a basic healing skill, is that be, ok?" Mariel was still determined to learn and asked further.
Claudia looked at her daughter with worried eyes, but she didn't want to force her daughter's intention, so she let out a long breath and spoke.
"Sure, tomorrow will be the weekend. After finishing your morning routine, I'll teach you this lesson by myself." Claudia promised.
"Thank you, Mom." Mariel hugged her mother tightly. Claudia hugged her daughter back as well.
When the morning dawn shines, after finishing breakfast, Mariel then finished helping Deric clean up the barn and then she immediately met Claudia under the big tree in front of the house.
Claudia and Mariel sat across from each other. Leave a distance between them about 1 body length only, then both Immediately begin practicing this basic of healing class. Mariel listened intently and carefully followed the basic steps of her mother.
After practicing for a period, Mariel was beginning to have problems with what they had talked about last night. The red Qi (fire) in her body began to oppose the green Qi (Heal) that was beginning to harm Mariel's body. It gave her a stomachache, and she was almost unable to continue practicing more.
Mariel sat panting from exhaustion. Her whole body trembled and felt that it was very difficult to succeed in these 2 different classes.
"I warned you that it was too risky. You should devote more time to practicing fire magic to the middle level. Then you can start learning the power of water magic." Claudia advised with concern.
"It's okay, Mom. I have made up my mind and will not give up easily. Please continue to teach me." Mariel insists on continuing with her training and Claudia did not have any objections.
Several weeks have passed, after returning from training in swordsman class at Kehal sword bureau, Mariel often comes to study healing class immediately. Segal and Deric often spend time practicing fighting together. Mariel is separated to continue her training with Claudia, but it often fails until Mariel's body was hurt veins bulged out slightly all over her body.
"Your body is starting to reach its limit. If you continue, it will be dangerous," Deric warned.
"That's enough, Mariel. Let's take the time to continue practicing swordsman class." Claudia added.
"It's okay, Mariel. We used the basic primary mind coordination technique and it helped restore some of our strength. Then we could continue fighting and practicing fire magic skills. So that we could prepare ourselves to practice water magic sword techniques in the future." Segal tried to get Mariel to give up on her intentions.
Mariel couldn't answer, but only smiled to answer.
That night, Mariel couldn't sleep. So, she secretly woke up and walked outside the house in the middle of the night. Then she began to meditate on her Qi again.
After a while, it was the same that her body began to fail when Mariel tried to learn the basics of healing skill. This caused the two streams of Qi in the body to flow erratically to the point of being unpredictable. Her stomach was hurt, and she wanted to vomit.
Ouch!! Mariel vomited a big mouthful and covered the grass.
"Why? Why? Why can't I learn this healing class? There must be some way that this can be done. People don't always have to be good at just one thing. Just having a little bit of versatility, and it can be success." Mariel said with a feeling of disappointment.
[Want to learn.... Is that so...?] A faint mysterious voice reached the girl's ears.
"Whose voice is that?" Mariel turned her head and looked around to find the source of the sound.
[We are all around you.] The mysterious voice still answered.
"You guys. Are these trees?" Mariel looked at the large trees and grass around her.
[Yes. If you really want to succeed in this healing class. It's difficult but nothing is impossible. Try to redefine your healing Qi again and set your mind more firmly than before.] The mysterious voice added, offering encouragement.
"Ok!" Mariel promised and sat down again. Then slowly closed her eyes. Concentrate on the Qi energy in her own body. Try alternating between relaxing and accelerating her Qi. The results were almost the same and her stomach started to hurt again, and she almost wanted to give up again.
"I'm not giving up." Mariel tried to force herself to continue practicing...the green and red Qi in her body were constantly opposing each other.
Until....
Mariel suddenly began to feel the power of the two types of Qi energy. The lines slowly separated from each other....and then circulated like a stream flowing throughout the body.
Even though she may not be able to complete the basic healing skill immediately. But it is considered very advanced. After practicing for a while, the two Qi powers of fire and heal lines in her body began to flow together. There was no more opposition to each other.
But she still couldn't use healing magic during that time.
Mariel slowly opened her eyes with a happy expression, as sweat poured out until her clothes were completely soaked. Then she bowed down and thanked the surrounding trees and grass as a thank you again.
"Thank you very much to everyone. Mariel promises that if I complete this technique, I will use it to heal my teammates and others who are injured." Mariel finished thanking her and hurried back into the house to get ready to rest after being exhausted from many hours of training.
The next morning, Segal and Mariel joined forces to fight Deric again, this time they received more wounds all over the body than before because Deric is more serious than ever in this practice.
Segal became tired and his body was covered with wounds from the ice magic. Until some parts of the body began to feel numb that made his moving even more difficult. As for Marielle, she also received injuries too.
Bang! The sound of ice magic power struck them until they bounce off in different directions. Deric then slams his power at Mariel again, who is at a disadvantage.
"Be careful!" Segal hurriedly intervened and used his sword to block this attack. Until his body can't stand it. The wound on his hand was worse than before until blood was flowing out.
"Ouch! I can't stand it anymore." Segal said in pain.
Mariel hurriedly stood up, her eyes sparkling.
"Alright, it's about time." Mariel held the sword in her right hand. Then use her left hand to paint her chest. Then she immediately began to close her eyes and direct her Qi healing energy.
"What are you doing? Have you prayed and surrendered?" Deric then mocked his daughter.
Claudia, who had been watching from a distance, noticed a change in her own daughter. She slowly concentrated to see through Mariel.
Inside Mariel's body, the red and green Qi streams flowed in unison. This surprised Claudia quite a bit because normally they usually must resist each other and cause her body to churn until she can hardly fight anymore.
Suddenly...the two Qi powers; the lines within Mariel came together into one line and it became 1 Qi energy line that has red and green together.
"Oh my god!" Claudia opened her eyes in surprise.
"What happened?" Deric said, confused by his wife's expression, who couldn't believe what was about to happen.
"Mariel.." Segal turned his head behind him and looked at Mariel suspiciously as well.
Mariel was surrounded by a soft green light. Then she slowly opened her eyes with a victorious expression on her face. The hand that was covering her chest slowly spread out in front of her. The target was Segal, who was still blocking Deric's attacks.
"Heal!" A light green light was released from Mariel's palm and restored some of the Segal's strength, including healing the wound to heal almost all at once.
"How is that possible?" Deric said.
"Mariel, you really can do it." Claudia shed tears of joy.
Mariel's made a smile. Then she switched to using her red Qi, causing the sword in his right hand to emit flames again.
"Let's go, brother!" Mariel shouted with determination.
"All right, sister!" Segal smiled back and charged at Deric again.
They fought with Deric even more closely. When they began to have wounds, Mariel's used her healing magic to restore their strength and healed the wounds until they were completely healed. Then attack Deric again at the same time.
In the end, even though they lost to Deric, but the results came out very satisfactory. Segal was now able to fight with all his might and no longer had to worry about the wounds on his body because Mariel's healing magic helped heal the wound and restore some of their strength. It made him feel even more excited about the fight. As for Mariel, in addition to using up a lot of his energy but use it slowly and carefully. What time should she use the fire sword magic to attack? When should she retreat and use healing magic for herself and Segal? she may not be able to master it now but if she takes the time to practice often, it will make her more effective.
After practicing and finishing, they received many compliments from Deric and Claudia. Especially Mariel who completed basic healing magic incredibly.
"Tomorrow, let's use this technique to practice with the three twin brothers at the sword bureau, Mariel." Segal advised.
"Sure, Brother Segal." Mariel responded with a smile.
They laugh together in family conversation while eating a delicious dinner together.
