Leo sitting on a wooden chair in the quiet infirmary, his academy uniform rumpled and his collar stained with faint bloodstains. His body felt heavy and exhausted, as if he had just finished a fierce battle. The head healer stood before him, her robes swishing, her face focused, her hand glowing green with mana as she checked him.
Rin was standing close by, her hands squeezed so tightly that her knuckles turned white, her pink eyes full of concern. Her fear was almost palpable as she gazed at Leo's pale face.
With a confused yet relieved expression on her face, the healer stood straight as the green light faded. Rin's worried voice cut through the silence. "Is he all right? What's this issue?"
With a steady but uncertain voice, the healer shook her head. "He is in good physical condition. No injury, no loss of mana."
Rin's eyes widened and she protested. "But I saw his nose bleeding! He fainted right in front of me!"
