We are in Selene's ward again. Mira's first task is to "fight" against Selene's mana to guess if it looks like good recovery. With Mira running a rampage in Selene's Mana circuit, I told Mira to take note of any area with poor resistance. That is a good sign of Selene's damaged area.
It is mainly the arms. No wonder a small piece of one can be seen yesterday. Force closure like yesterday, I decided to end Mira's day.
The 109's personnel is not just for show. Whatever we do. It is definitely monitored. We have audienced witnessing the plant growth from yesterday. But not today when Selene is actively controlling to not grow a single vine.
It has to be due to her water affinity. I looked at mira's now wet body again. This time round. 109 side already prepared her change.
But if water affinity is an issue, what about a fire affinity healer? Would he or she end up burning their clothing or they will simply get wet due to high heat? Or I overthink, it is just plain sweat. No, I have no plans to go sniffing Mira.
NOT MY CONCERN NOW! I shook my head. Lunch is more important. Work life balance!

Selene's 1 month speed recovery is not impressive. It is not something thought to be achievable in all history all types of human calendar. In practice, Selene is planned to stay at her home by summer. This is a very big impact in the eyes of even third princess. She knew the vast amount of the kingdom's warriors being forced to retire after such a tragic incident trying to protect all these people they don't know. "BUT I AM THE WALL FOR THEM!" and they choose a life worse than death. The king did had put up offer. But in reality, people see it as for show. Since the king is asking for the impossible.

Medics and healers are one respected position. They re alive people who are knocking at hell's gate.
Our patients might shift towards the fallen heros that are forced to retire. But currently, we only have Mira. For the warriors, they are the true heros. Even if they don't know what a salute is, I salute them.
In essence, opposing countries will not want to see our retired warriors back in the battlefield. Even though it is peace time, we all know peace is just a environment setting to buy time for war.
"Can my father walk again?" "Witches!" "Dissecting corpes is unethical and illegal!" "Immediate death sentence!" "Placing retired warriors back to frontline calls for international frowns." Calls for witch hunt spread like wildfire. Different voices started, speculations, immediate threats. It bacame the talk of our area.

"Your Majesty. This scroll come from Princess Maria."
…
This family sure surprises us. First the sugarcane. Now you are telling me a wound of that depth can be closed with manpower? If it didn't come from Maria I would definitely want a performance of that in front of me. Else it would be making false statement to the me.
Will Kei be able to claim the reward I placed 10 years ago? Five thousand gold blocks. A 8/4/2cm blocks of gold are sitting there collecting dust. I would even grant him any wish so long it conforms with the law and doesn't hurt our prosperity.
Referring to the testimony of the guy in AA library. It can be inferred that there might be nine more talent of such groundbreaking ability can be unmined.
The adventurer guild master's testimony states that the whole woo haa started like two weeks… no, a month already including the letter's travelling time. Still. Their practical testing of two weeks can yield such potential…
It might not save the soldiers. But at least, a general can be kept alive…
I shall not bear such headache alone. Let's just include this on tomorrow's briefing. There are people who are willing to see me down with illness, for example: Alice.
"And so, this is what was reported. Directly from Maria."
"A warrior doesn't only get one cut, so what is her limit?"
"No dissecting of bodies right? Dead or alive."
"Can she do anything against poison or illness?"
"Your Majesty, our treasury is certainly capable of supporting another institute to train the other nine."
"Considering the previous involvement of squad 109. I propose their inclusion in guard duty"
"Silence!" The usher's voice halted the discussion.
"For the increased survivalibity of our generals. I declare the building of MIRAcle institute to be the unyielding priority."
"AS YOUR MAJESTY COMMANDS!"
"Your Majesty, there is a concern to be addressed."
Eight corpses are hauled into the chamber.
"Your Majesty, I apologise for this unsightly display. Eighy rebels had entered the dungeon in our jurisdiction. This is not even the main issue. No cuts, no arrow, no burnt mark, no magic interference.
"Your Majesty, it appears we face a grave concern: a method of murder, or even assassination that is not known to us. However, the good news is, the rebels perished."
"Leave the corpse here as they are. Today's dismissed."
The chamber is now empty with only the king and his royal guards. Still, twenty more people came out from the shadows.
"Do the deed as needed"
"As your majesty wishes."
Twenty eight figures disappeared. The royal guards totally showed no reaction. Remained expressionless. Throughout the whole conversation.
————
The king actually wanted a chance to be personally visiting wherever this "kei" or "mira" was at. Every single day, talking in such a formal tone, approving budgets and paper works.
This isn't the life I envisioned when I took crown..
Damn, he just have to bring those corpse in. Now I can't just go outside the castle without a strong reason. Everyone is going to show concern.
"Dear Maria
In view of Mira's achievements, it was decreed in the assembly that the construction of MIRAcle institute will be the unyielding priority. You'll have full authority to oversee the progress.
In view of Kei's involvement in the same incident, both Mira and Kei will be the instructors of MIRAcle institute. Their endowment shall be doubled from the usual.
Also, a grave concern is raised that there is an unknown method of murder, potentially used for assassination purpose. It was just a hole smaller than of arrow. Exercise extreme caution out there.
Damn, I wish I can go out.
Alexander."
