My Girlfriend is an S-Class Adventurer-Chapter 363 Turning Point (Part 2)

Opening the door to her room with force, Megan came across Alice on her workbench.

"I need your help!"

Alice Bloodstone had long blonde hair, in a slightly lighter color than Ayumi's, but not white like Nathalia's. Her eyes possessed a green glow, which in that dark room, they shone with the reflection of the Light. She was wearing an academy uniform, however, it was completely white with red details.

In the girl's workbench there were several tools, on the wall in front of the table there were several papers with magical circles drawn on them. The girl then dropped her tools, she was working on what looked like a clock. Confused, she then questioned her sister about what was going on.

"Megan, is everything okay?" She said worriedly.

The girl then bent down in front of her sister

"Please, I need your help" Megan said, looking down at the ground as she asked for help in front of her sister.

"Heyyy, heyy, it's okay just tell me about it."

Megan then stood up, and began to explain everything that had happened. About Luke's practice of magic, his strange meditation that had lasted a long time, the demonstration of vast mastery that the half-wolf possessed. What happened to the new colleague, the various and different symptoms Luke demonstrated. How she brought him to the academy in a flying stretcher, and what was now happening to the young man.

Within the academy, the two sisters were the most remarkable students. Alice Bloodstone was formidable and surprisingly skilled with the production of magical artifacts. While Megan Bloodstone had memorized almost every book in the academy, having a vast notion of different types of magic, their uses and applications. 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢

Both sisters had been adopted by the academy, growing up from a young age in that school town. From an early age, Alice learned to build artifacts, manipulate magic, and produce magic circles; she was the best in this field. With an amazing memory like her sister's, Alice was able to memorize different types of magic circles, item patterns, and forging methods.

However, Alice was just as busy a girl as Megan. Having several projects of her own, as well as requests from within the academy. A good part of the magic lamps on the lampposts that lit up the entire island had been designed or even made by the girl. The identification cards of the academy members also underwent major changes with the help of the girl, who greatly improved the design. Even the bathtubs in the academy rooms had been designed by the girl, who hated having to bathe with a bucket.

Alice was extremely in demand, whether it was to produce ideas or to work incessantly producing magic circles. But even with such a complicated life, she would do anything for her only family, her best friend, her sister.

Megan's concern for Luke was truly high. As much as she had only known him a short time, this was the first time all of Megan's knowledge was useless in front of a problem. Her inability to help her new friend left her truly hurt. To make matters worse, knowing that Zhanid trusted her to find a possible solution made her even sadder at her inability.

"Hmmm, a curse... I've heard of Cursed Items, but never got to touch one." Alice said.

Megan asked

Megan asked.

"Yes, they can both have a gigantic amount of mana. As well as being items that cause a curse on their owner." Answered Alice.

Within the academy there was very little information regarding how they worked or how it was possible to deal with curses. However, Megan was willing to pursue the possibility she had thought of. Develop an artifact that would be able to regulate Luke's internal mana, using healing spells to stabilize his curse. That way, when he started to get sick, the side effect of the curse would gradually decrease.

When Megan explained this idea to Alice, the girl's green eyes sparkled with ideas. Alice then turned around, took a pen, and began to draw several different magical circles. The two sisters had this same characteristic of loving challenges, hating to lose, and being completely focused when a challenge comes up.

In the end, Alice found a problem with Megan's proposal. It would be necessary to have a notion of all the side effects of the curse, how they behave, how Luke reacts, what the young man's magical ability is, and several other factors. Creating such equipment would be very complicated. Luckily, the person with the greatest notion of theoretical magic at the academy was precisely Megan, so the knowledge and choice of the different spells needed would not be a problem.

Megan let her sister get back to work on the strange clock that was on her desk. Then she went to the bathroom to take a long shower. At the moment, she could only wait. Inside the hot water of the tub, the girl's thoughts were confused. She kept thinking about the symptoms Luke had shown. If Adrian hadn't said that Zhanid knew how to solve this problem, she would surely be even more worried. If she didn't know how to fix it with healing magic, most likely the doctors at the academy wouldn't either.

However, knowing that those healers would not be able to heal Luke was nothing to diminish Megan's annoyance either. In the many years of working and studying at the academy, no challenge ever seemed impossible for her, there was never anything where her knowledge was worthless. She was feeling completely incapable.

As she ran soap over her body, her thoughts began to make more sense. If Zhanid already knew how to help Luke, so much so that he already helped him. It was only necessary that the old mage explain to her and Alice how to produce an artifact that would be able to help the half-wolf. That seemed to be the next step to be taken. Amidst so many thoughts, Megan chose to try to focus on the now. Her ears began to focus on a steady trickle of water that was falling from the bathtub faucet.

With each drop of water, the girl's mind calmed down. It was necessary to get some rest, or all this stress would only make it more difficult for her to complete her daily tasks the next day. The girl's body was relaxing, enjoying the warm water that relieved her stress. f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

"I'm going to get out of the shower and check on him..." said Megan, who soon after, sank into the tub.

Luke's condition was now stable, the two mage healers were confused by the symptoms that were described by Adrian. If it hadn't been for Zhanid's presence in the medical center, it would have been difficult for Luke to get out alive. It was several small details that saved the half-wolf's life.

If Megan had not applied healing magic soon after Luke began to feel ill, the symptoms of the curse would probably have been much stronger, which could have easily ended Luke's life. However, what confused the doctors the most was the condition of the half-wolf's body, even with signs of having spat blood, there was no apparent problem in the youth.

"He has no sequelae or causes for the symptoms that boy described." Said one of the doctors.

"Maybe the boy was just overreacting, seeing his friend ill could have made him worried. Answered the other doctor.

However, Zhanid soon intervened in the middle.

"It is not a disease boy, but it is really interesting the case of this half-wolf. Anyway, now that he is a little better, could you excuse me?" Said Zhanid.

"Yes, sir." Answered the two doctors simultaneously, then left the room.

By the presence of the two doctors who were checking on Luke, the old mage Zhanid was unable to conjure his spirits to care for the half-wolf as he did the first time this happened. Even though he was a rather confused person, the old wizard knew that revealing Luke's secret to those two wizards was far from the sleeping boy's intentions.

Zhanid then picked up his staff, positioning it above in front of the bed Luke was lying on. The half-wolf was unconscious, but his breathing was extremely heavy. He huffed for air, this was the only sign that the curse was still present, and it seemed to have stabilized again.

After Zhanid began to conjure his magic, three white colored spirits appeared above the magician. They were small white spheres that looked somewhat like the glow of fireflies, although no physical body form of these spirits could be seen.

Luke's whole body began to create an aura around it, which emitted a light of the same color as the three spirits conjured by the old magician. Zhanid now possessed a slightly better sense of what was happening to the half-wolf.

By manipulating Luke's internal mana, he was controlling the effects of the curse. Within Melki's academy of Magic, perhaps only Zhanid was capable of understanding how to deal with curses. The Haf-wolf began to cough extremely hard, until gradually, his breathing became calmer.

The half-wolf's life was not in danger now, for the time being.
