“Not yet?”
“Sorry, sorry. Just a little more...”
The healer avoided Simone's gaze, sweating profusely.
He has been a therapist at Academy Healing Center and has taken care of countless patients, but this is the first time in his life that he has encountered such a difficult patient.
Although she didn't appear to have any wounds anywhere, her condition was very serious. It was as if all the blood and energy had been drained from her body.
She's barely conscious, but it would be much better to just pass out and get a good night's sleep than to receive treatment from a healer.
Her mana was at rock bottom and she could only recover after lying still for a month, but our hero insisted on moving! It was a very difficult situation for a healer.
'And there's a necromancer there...'
If you've ever treated a necromancer, you'll be able to treat them quickly...
As someone who deals with the mana of death, it means that he has to be careful about using his healing powers.
The healer asked cautiously with an anxious face.
“Hero... Do you feel like your... energy is recovering?”
“Huh? Oh, so-so...”
Simone smiled sheepishly. Just because she was handling the mana of death, it didn't mean her healing powers weren't effective.
However, since Simone's mana vessel is quite large, no matter how much the healer heals her, it is only like filling a large lake with water with a ladle.
Simone felt her energy returning little by little, but honestly, it didn't help much.
Eventually, Simone shook off the healer's hand.
“I’m fine. Please treat the other injured people.”
"But..."
The healer bit his lips as if an indescribable emotion was welling up in him at the sight of Simone smiling as if everything was really okay.
“Hero...”
It wasn't for nothing that she was called a hero. She fought most fiercely against Anasis, and aside from the dead, the one in the worst condition here was definitely Simone.
She neglects herself and instead treats other injured people.
'I'm embarrassed.'
He was also prejudiced against Simone, who was actually a necromancer.
In fact, Simone, who lived in hiding and was despised by everyone, was such a kind and courageous person.
“As expected, heroes are different. I too have learned that will.”
What?
Simone frowned involuntarily at the words that seemed so intimidating to hear.
What are you talking about, really? I'm telling you to go away because you're no help. After Abel and his group, who else would say something like that if they weren't characters from a novel...?
Regardless, the healer slowly got up.
“I will treat the others. Please rest.”
"Ah..."
The healer looked at Simone with bright eyes, bowed his head at a 90-degree angle, and then ran off somewhere.
As soon as he left, Simone muttered with a sunken face.
“Once this is over, I really need to find a healer.”
In other countries, they don't look down on necromancers, but rather protect them and even educate them.
Any healer from another country would surely know how to properly treat a necromancer.
Someone like Louis could probably help bring in a healer from another country.
“We definitely need a staff of healers.”
“Therapist staff...”
Jace nodded slightly as if he was confirming something after hearing Simone's muttering.
Simone sat up, staring blankly at the scene that was quickly being cleaned up.
“Simone, are you leaving right now?”
Jace followed her up and asked worriedly,
Then Jace's cautious voice was heard from behind.
“Hey, Simone.”
"Yes?"
Simone looked back, paused, and looked at what was in his hand.
“If you’re looking to gather souls, I think I can help!”
Jace said, clutching the notebook in his hand with a face that seemed utterly delighted.
“...”
Well, as expected, Jace... He was locked up for a long time and was exposed to black magic. His death was quite sad.
Even so, the sight of so many students dying before her eyes was enough to make even Simone shiver, but Jace was just happy as if he was being swept up in every emotion by Simone's every action.
..The problem is that Jace is really a person who is swayed by Simone alone, and has no interest in anyone other than her and the people in the mansion.
Jace handed her his notebook, not knowing whether he knew what Simone was thinking.
“I thought that there might come a time when Lady Simone would need the ghost of this academy as well. I have already researched the rumors related to this among the students.”
"...Really?"
"Yes!"
Simone laughed in vain as she remembered Jace, who would wander around the Academy during breaks and gather up strange rumors.
Then he gestured for the two of them to go.
“Where should I start?”
“Yes, the closest one is over there.”
Jace reached out and pointed to the statues of great men in the Academy's plaza.
"Statue?"
"Yes."
Simone said in a flowing voice, rolling her aching shoulder.
“When it hits 12 o’clock, does the statue move?”
Every school had such ghost stories. There seemed to be a lot of such rumors around the statue of Admiral Yi Sun-sin, like the one where he pulled out his sword every night.
“Yes, that’s right! How did you know?”
"...That's right?"
"Yes!"
As expected, it's the best Korean bookstore. That's right.
As Simone approached the statue with a slightly bewildered expression, Jace followed her and explained the rumors.
“It is said to be a statue of a man named Rune, who was the greatest scholar in the Luan Empire. He was one of the founders of the Precia Academy and the first professor of magic.”
He was the pride of the Luan Empire and a symbol of the Luan Empire's magicians.
Then one day, Rune suddenly disappeared without a trace.
“Of course, rumors are just rumors, and there are stories that the scholar Rune actually lived a good life. In any case, this strange rumor assumes that he went missing.”
How long has it been since Rune went missing? In the end, the Empire was unable to find Rune.
Sometime later, the Precia Academy erected a statue in his honor.
“It is said that students at Prescia pray in front of the statue of Rune before taking their exams.”
“They want him to do well on the test?”
“Yes, Rune was a renowned scholar. It would have a similar meaning to a fountain that grants wishes. However, one day, strange rumors about the statue began to spread.”
At first, there was a rumor that the eyes of the Rune statue moved and looked down on the praying students.
Next, there is a rumor that if you pray alone in front of the statue of Rune at the exact hour, the statue will tell you your future test scores.
Lastly, there was a rumor that Rune's younger brother taught classes in an empty classroom every morning.
“There are students who say they have actually seen moving statues, and there are even rumors that seeing moving statues will help you get better grades on your exams.”
“Well, I guess it doesn’t hurt others?”
Then it's simple. Simone took Jace's notebook and tore out a blank page. Then she breathed her mana into the torn paper.
The paper instantly blackened and became a Simone amulet.
“Oh... I really do lack mana. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have given all the talismans to Your Highness.”
Simone returned the notebook to Jace, once again regretting her mistake.
Jace said, taking back the notebook.
“And this may not be threatening to the students, but...”
Simone, who had been grumbling, stopped walking and looked at Jace.
“Is there more to the story?”
“This is a pretty old rumor, so most of the current students probably don’t know about it. However, there is something that Director Sennus said.”
“Director?”
Jace nodded.
“There was a rumor when you were a student. The statue of Rune would force students who were praying to take his class and then speak.”
I took the class, so kill the director.
“Sorry, sorry. Just a little more...”
The healer avoided Simone's gaze, sweating profusely.
He has been a therapist at Academy Healing Center and has taken care of countless patients, but this is the first time in his life that he has encountered such a difficult patient.

Jace nodded slightly as if he was confirming something after hearing Simone's muttering.
Simone sat up, staring blankly at the scene that was quickly being cleaned up.
“Simone, are you leaving right now?”
Jace followed her up and asked worriedly,
"You still look tired. Is it okay to leave already?"
“I should go. I think I should finish this as quickly as possible and get some rest.”
“Are you going to absorb the souls in the Academy?”
Simone nodded. Then she glanced at Jace.
“Don’t stop me.”
"Yes?"
Jace looked at Simone with wide eyes as if asking what she meant.
“I thought you would tell me not to do something dangerous when I'm not feeling well.”
Jace shook his head.
“I don’t object to what Simone is doing. Whatever it is, there is a reason why you have to do it.”
“Uh... Well, that’s true... I guess.”
Jace smiled brightly as if he was glad to be with her.
“I will just follow Simone.”
If it is the job of the Crown Prince and Abel and his party to protect Simone, then he is simply following the path she wants to take.
Because the path his savior takes cannot be wrong.
“...”
Simone avoided Jace's eyes and walked a little faster.
Wow, it's so burdensome. From the healer to Jace, no, was Jace originally like this? Anyway.
“...Ugh.”
Simone sighed and looked at Mana in her hands.
Although it was only a speck of dust, enough mana was recovered to absorb the soul into the magic stone.
In addition, the healer's healing seemed to have been done properly, as the physical treatment was also done properly, and the movements were lighter than before.
'This is enough.'
Simone is at a level where she can do what needs to be done right now.
“I should go. I think I should finish this as quickly as possible and get some rest.”
“Are you going to absorb the souls in the Academy?”
Simone nodded. Then she glanced at Jace.
“Don’t stop me.”
"Yes?"
Jace looked at Simone with wide eyes as if asking what she meant.
