Chapter 177 Healing Preparations
Catching on to Lucia's embarrassment, Aleshia pushed further, "Why, of course! You're fantastic!"
Aleshia didn't get a response, but she could tell it affected Lucia; through her vision, she saw Lucia joyfully twitching her hat flaps. Aleshia wanted to offer more praise but held back, unsure if it was the right moment to distract Lucia. Instead, she returned her attention to examining the formulas.
Even though Aleshia was already familiar with many of the formulas that Lucia had used, thanks to her background as a teacher, she was greatly interested in how Lucia applied them. Reflecting on the formulas mentioned earlier only enriched her appreciation and respect for Lucia's expertise in the craft. While Aleshia was deep in thought, Lucia called, "Hey, I completed the circle, so I think it would be best if you released your connection. We don't want it to go haywire and affect you."
"Right," Aleshia replied. She quickly severed her mana link, ensuring she had removed everything from the circle. Now, all she needed to do was sit back and wait from a safe distance. Aleshia wasn't so confident in her safety after what Lucia had said, so she grabbed a nearby chair and placed it between herself and the magic circle inside the patient.
Lucia watched Aleshia try to defend herself and couldn't help but snicker. She positioned herself behind Aleshia and placed a magic barrier down to protect her in case something went awry. After a countdown, Lucia activated the magic circle, carefully channeling her mana to ensure all the components aligned smoothly. If something went wrong, there were sections of the circle where she could stop the mana flow, releasing a small amount of mana into the patient's body. It would cause minimal harm compared to the chaos that could arise from a malfunctioning circle.
Aleshia intently watched the mana flowing through the circle while Lucia ensured everything was moving correctly. Aleshia was mesmerized and tried to memorize every detail of the process. Due to their focus, they failed to notice when Daniel walked in, and he intentionally chose not to bother their work.
Once the circle finished absorbing all the mana and activated, the event began. Slowly, the patient's skin began to glow a faint blue, with some formulas visible beneath the surface and an even subtler green that reflected Lucia's use of her healing powers. Diligently, Lucia worked to enhance the patient's condition, and soon the process was complete.
