After the meal Paul decided to cultivate mana once again so that he could cast the second spell in the morning.
Mana and Qi that were used up slowly replenished themselves even without cultivating but it was more efficient to just cultivate as that replenished them many times faster.
A few hours later he managed to refill his mana pool and even advanced another level.
He could cast another spell right now but he decided to wait for the morning as he wanted to use this opportunity to teach girls how to cast a spell.
They were both already asleep but they also cultivated a bit after supper and advanced to level 17 in mana cultivation.
The girls were making incredible progress in their cultivation especially since they just learned about it a few days ago.
Most people that came from earth were at most at level 10 in either mana or Qi cultivation as it took time to learn the technique and they had no one to teach them.
The next morning Paul cast the healing spell once again and both girls were watching as he had explained to them the principle of using spells.
This was important to them as they were arch-mages like him and they could use every kind of magic.
However this also made it harder for them as they had to be much more focused than any other mage to avoid casting the wrong spell.
This time the pain of reconnecting the partially healed spinal cord was bearable and even though he was drenched in sweat when the magic spell finished its work the progress was better than he had ever imagined.
After this session he could not only feel his whole lower body but also he was able to move his toes.
-Master, how many more times will you have to go through this before you are fully healed?
Mia asked with concern as she witnessed both spells and it was very painful from what she saw.
-Tomorrow will be the last time and after that I will just need to learn how to walk again.
Paul answered.
He also didn't want to prolong this as it was a torture,but the effects were great.
-On the other hand if I cultivate mana today then I will be able to finish it around evening.
He thought aloud.
Both girls were anxious when they heard that.
Their master was very good to them and had taught them many things, not to mention the things he had given them,so they didn't want to see him suffer.
Seeing their anxiety Paul smiled.
-Don't worry the last spell won't hurt as much as the last two since it will be just finishing the healing process to my body.
He tried to reassure them and it partially worked but there was also another reason for their unease.
-Master, what will you do when you can walk again?
Mia asked.
-First I will go to the nearest settlement to get some things and then I will travel to learn new things and raise my cultivation.
Paul answered without thinking and only when he saw the girl's sad face did he realize that he had screwed up.
He knew that the girls were growing attached to him and right now he used words that essentially told them that he would abandon them.
-Don't be sad,I'm taking both of you with me.
He quickly said,trying to correct his mistake.
The girls that were on the verge of tears looked at him with relive.
-I'm sorry I used the wrong words right now,I have no intention of abandoning you.
Paul tried to explain his mistake.
-Thank you Master,I thought that you would go alone and leave us behind.
Mia said ,while Maya nodded to her sister's words.
-No need to thank me,It was my fault for speaking without thinking in the first place.
Also I won't leave you behind unless you decide to leave on your own.
Paul reassured them.
Right now the girls are quite ignorant about the world and about the people but who knows what will happen in the future when they will learn and become powerful.
There might come a time when they will want to go their separate ways.
Paul thought to himself.
Within the few days that they were living together he also grew attached to the girls and it would be hard for him to leave them or see them go.
The girls on the other hand thought that there was no way in hell that they would leave him as he was the person that treated them the best and also he never scolded them even when they made a mistake.
Instead he patiently explained to them what they did wrong and how to avoid this mistake in the future.
Lastly he even took his own clothes to make something that they could use to cover up slightly as he had already explained to them why he did that once Maya asked about it.
They both knew what he was talking about since in their clan there were no separate rooms and no privacy as they lived in a cave, even when the other goblins were raping the captured females of other races or other tribes they were doing it right in front of everyone.
They both were spared from this fate as the shaman forbade everyone to touch them and their father was also around so they were safe from experiencing it but they had seen way too many times as the other goblin females and the captives were played with by the males.
When Paul explained to them that he had given them clothes to cover up because soon he would once again be able to use his lower half and he didn't need to be tempted more than he already was.
At first they were grateful that he tried his best not to touch them but as days went by,both girls slowly came to a realization that they wouldn't mind if he wanted their bodies.
After the misunderstanding was cleared out ,Paul sent the girls to see if there were any fish in the traps,wholly unaware of their thoughts about him.
He on the other hand started to replenish his mana as he wanted to cast the last spell in the evening.
It wasn't that on his current level he could only cast one spell at a time but he had poured all his mana into the spell to make it stronger as he wanted to heal himself as fast as possible.
The other reason was that the basic level 1 heal spell wasn't potent enough to heal him so the only way for it to work was to strengthen it with additional mana or he would have to wait to reach the lesser mage stage to heal himself.
Fortunately for him he had found a method of using mana to strengthen his spells in a book that he read in his previous life.
After cultivating for over an hour he was starting to worry about the girls as they should have returned by now.
He waited for a few more minutes but since they didn't come back he wanted to go and see what was going on.
When he was ready to go look for them both girls came into his view but something was very wrong as Maya was helping Mia walk and they were trying their best to move fast and Mia was bleeding from at least half a dozen wounds.
