「Y-You! You could’ve used that to get out!!」
Emily-chan’s flaring up at me but it wasn’t that easy you know.
Due to the lack of fine-tuning, I can’t just blow off the earth and sand falling on top. I can only shoot out my magic and blow things up.
If I shoot this overhead, it would blow up the ground, and the guild staff and the students fighting above would get hurt. I couldn’t use it because there would be deaths for sure.
「Ugugugu…B-But still…」
「Well, putting that aside, are those three still alright? I didn’t hold back so I don’t know what happened to those guys.」
「Ah! Aaaah!! Hii-kun! Sui-kun! Fuu-kun! Are you alright?」
Emily-chan rushes out of the nest.
Emily-chan’s so cruel for complaining to me instead of being concerned about those three. When I think of it, I wonder what happened to the plain senior who was supporting the ground.
「Kyaaa!? S-Someone! Potion! Please get me some potions!!」
Oh. Emily-chan’s screaming. Seems like they’re not dead. I’m glad I didn’t murder them.
I came after Emily-chan and went out with the girls.
The ground has collapsed, and there’s nobody else but the staff waiting for us to come.
The other third and fourth-year students were taken to the dorm, unconscious. From what I heard, they were poisoned by our monster here. There were more than 50 of them here before, that’s amazing.
But still, I’m glad I didn’t shoot out the beam. Everyone who couldn’t use magic would get caught in it and die. It’s all thanks to Emily-chan’s dedication. I’ll tell her that later.

「Ceres-sama! There’s more!」
「Understood. I’ll treat them right away」
The third and fourth-year boys who had been on a commission were brought back to school due to magic poisoning.
The monster that poisoned them mainly inhabited the southern area, and the potions refined from the same southern plants were valued as antidotes.
But, this is a school town in the middle of the kingdom. Treating them is difficult because they haven’t prepared enough for dozens of students. The only special medicine is Ceres’ magic. Apart from that, the only other way is to simply expel the poison over time.
Since Ceres, who was treating the students at the infirmary, had limited magic, she gave priority to the students with severe symptoms. However, her complexion has changed to the appearance of injured people who were brought in by the nurse Zatsuryu and the group.
「This is horrible, is this some battle injury?」
Burned, frozen, and marks all over, looking like a current flowing through them. The wounds on the face and torso are also severe, although more pronounced at the tip.
「Ceres-san! Please save the three of them!」
「Emily-san. Yes, I’ll do everything I can. Rest assured, I’ll help them」
「T-Thank you, Ceres-san!」
While Emily was watching, she drank the potion from the school’s storage and poured life attribute magic into her body. Since the damage isn’t only on the surface, but also on their bones and internal organs, the first step is to heal from the inside.
Once the damaged organs are healed, the next step is to treat the trauma. The guild staff uses potions to cover the surface injuries, but many of them have internal bleeding, so she sends her magic throughout the body to heal them.
「After all that, their body is no longer in danger. Although」
「Guys…Ugh, How did this happen…」
That’s enough for life-support. However, it’s far from complete recovery.
Their fingers, nose, and ears were lost to the enormous amount of magic, and their eyes had gone cloudy and lost their light. The hair has also been blown off, so they look smooth now.
「I’ll start their regenerative treatment」
Even in this condition, with high-level potions and Ceres’ magic, they can recover. Even the lost body parts can be regenerated. However, it’s not easy to due due to the large magic consumption, and the scarcity and high cost of the ingredients for potions.
「I can’t use all of my magic because we have other patients, but give them treatment」
Ceres’ magic treatment has been carried out. Using her magic to the limit, she managed to bring back their eyes, nose, ears, and fingers.
But, that’s as far as the treatment goes. Their heads remain smooth, with not a single hair in sight. Unfortunately, their hair follicles had died and there’s not enough magic to perform regeneration on it.
And also another spot. The same tip as their fingers, their male symbol, they were blown off and couldn’t regenerate.
The amount of magic required to regenerate the rod and balls was greater than their fingers and arms, and Ceres didn’t have enough magic to recover their phallus.
「Was it Alec-kun who hurt them?… It was a sudden attack so he fought back? I see. I’ll ask Alec-kun for details later Thank you, Emily-san
During the treatment, Emily’s been asking to dig deep into the circumstances of the injury, but that’s got nothing to do with the treatment results.
