Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix-Chapter 67: Studying

Medicine, on the other hand, relies on the application of scientific knowledge, natural remedies, and medical techniques to diagnose, treat, and prevent illnesses or injuries. It encompasses a range of practices, including herbal medicine, pharmacology, magic, surgery, and therapeutic interventions.

Medical practitioners employ various diagnostic methods, such as physical examinations, magical examinations, medical tests, and patient history analysis, to identify the underlying causes of ailments or injuries.

Based on the diagnosis, appropriate treatment plans are devised. This may involve administering medications, performing surgical procedures, recommending lifestyle changes, or utilizing other therapeutic interventions.

"It seems that I can use my intention to control my mana to use healing magic and even medicine; I guess it isn't different from the process of using elemental magic," Rain thought. "Should I try immediately, or should I learn everything first by theory?"

If those three classes keep leveling up while he studies, then Rain will increase his wisdom and Intelligence, that will make him control his mana better when the time comes.

Rain dedicated himself to learning the contents of the books diligently, spending several weeks immersed in studying and memorizing the information they contained. The village, unfortunately, lacked a dedicated healer. Still, occasionally a visiting healer would come by to check on the health of the villagers.

This arrangement seemed unusual, especially considering that they had a midwife to assist with childbirth and related matters.

Undeterred by the absence of a healer in the village, Rain took it upon himself to acquire knowledge and skills in healing. He saw the importance of being prepared to tend to the health needs of the community, especially in situations where immediate medical attention was required.

As he delved deeper into the books, he learned about various ailments, their symptoms, and the corresponding treatment methods.

Learning that was absolutely necessary since Roan lost one of his limbs but eventually recovered it thanks to magic. Rain wasn't planning to lose one as well, but one never knows.

In any case, Rain stopped his magic training to improve his control over the elements to focus on learning healing magic. Naturally, he used himself as a test subject since it would be easier to use the mana inside him to heal his wounds.

Rain spent a couple of minutes punching a tree far away from the village, and when his fists were bleeding, he decided to apply everything that he learned.

Rain concentrated his focus on the wounds in his fists, using his mana to initiate the healing process. However, his initial attempts were met with frustration as he struggled to find the right balance and control over his mana flow. The healing would start too fast or too slow, leading to imperfect results.

But Rain was determined, and he refused to let his failures discourage him. With each attempt, he learned from his mistakes and adjusted his technique. He visualized his mana flowing through his hands, gently closing the wounds at a pace that aligned with his abilities. It was a delicate balance, requiring both precision and patience.

As he gradually refined his control, Rain felt a subtle shift within his hands. A tingling sensation spread across the wounded areas, accompanied by a soothing warmth. He could sense his mana weaving its way through the damaged tissues, repairing and rejuvenating them.

With every passing moment, the wounds in his fists began to close, the jagged edges gradually smoothing out. Rain experienced a mix of relief and awe as he witnessed his own healing abilities in action. The physical discomfort diminished, replaced by a growing sense of comfort and well-being.

The process was not instantaneous but rather a gradual transformation. As the wounds closed, Rain felt a sense of harmony and alignment within his body and spirit. It was a deep connection to his innate healing powers, a realization of his own potential to mend and restore.

"It seems that it will take some time; maybe it is because of the level of the skill, or because of the level of the path, or because my intelligence is low for someone trying to learn healing magic," Rain thought.

As Rain dedicated himself to his healing practice day after day, his skills and abilities began to grow at an accelerated pace. The repetitive nature of his training allowed him to fine-tune his techniques and deepen his understanding of the healing arts.

The skill known as Health Bonus, which enhanced his health, experienced rapid advancement. Rain's consistent efforts and focused concentration led to a significant increase in its level.

Simultaneously, Rain's chosen path as a healer steadily progressed, reaching level five. This milestone represented a notable achievement in his journey. As his proficiency in healing continued to evolve, he unlocked a new skill called Healing Touch.

Healing Touch Lv 08 - You developed the ability to channel healing energy through touch, accelerating the natural healing process of wounds and alleviating pain. It restores one point of health per second at the cost of the same amount of mana per second. The level of the skill multiplies the health restored.

"The skill came at level eight… because I have been using it before it was unlocked," Rain thought while rubbing his chin. "That means that a bunch of other skills will also come at high levels once they are unlocked."

Rain's early acquisition of the Healing Touch skill at level eight would undoubtedly be a significant asset on his path as a healer. It would amplify his healing capabilities, allowing him to make a more profound impact on the lives of those he encountered.

Still, the excitement that Rain felt began to die down. As some weird rumors began to spread around… about his father and the fact that he had joined the enemies. As the rumors about Rain's father began to spread across the realm, a cloud of uncertainty and concern settled over him. At first, he had been hopeful that his father would return.

Still, now, these unsettling whispers cast doubt on his father's actions and loyalties. The excitement he once felt from learning healing magic and training diligently began to wane, replaced by a sense of unease and distress.
