Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits

"I can use my God's blessing as many times as I want and it will not have any harmful effect on my body."

Selene revealed and both Vaan and Elara couldn't believe what they were hearing and stared at the Student Council President with their mouth agape.

Seeing them reacting like that, Selene simply smiled,

"Although I am used to seeing such a reaction, it still hurts when the two of you do it." The Council President then turned towards Elara and,

"You are in your early 20s and are already a 4th Circle Mage, you also have the mage with the greatest potential in the entire world as your Teacher."

Then, she turned towards Vaan and,

"Your achievements are even more surprising, creating Advanced Circles that give you such a huge advantage over others, countless Top Level Mages have been trying to copy your circles and understand the principals behind them, yet they fail miserably.

If you look at it in a more practical manner, the two of you aren't any different from me. So I would be grateful if you two do not look at me like that."

It was a polite request and for some reason, both Vaan and Elara couldn't find any way to deny her request. Selene's convincing power was off the charts.

'This must be how she became the Student Council President.'

Vaan noted in his mind.

Of course, he didn't underestimate this woman.

'Her strength shouldn't be any lower than Declan's, she might even be stronger.'

Someone who could use God's blessing without any restrictions whatsoever couldn't possibly be weak. Just using her blessing again and again would give her enough advantage to overpower almost any opponent.

Heck, even in the battle where Veronica fought against her opponents if she had a freak who could use the God of Light's blessing to heal her again and again, Veronica would have no reason to sacrifice her life, she could have focused on protecting Selene and continue to fight till her opponents are no longer in the condition to fight anymore.

The life of a 7th Circle Mage like Vyriana's could be saved just by the addition of someone like Selene on her side, just how ridiculous is that?

Vaan was sure that even if it was him, his presence there would have little to no impact in that situation.

"I will look into you, Student Council President."

Vaan spoke as he glanced at Selene.

Selene chuckled,

"Have I finally attracted your attention?"

"I would be lying if I said what you said today didn't change my opinion of you. I still cannot understand how you can use your blessing endlessly and how it doesn't affect your body in any way at all."

"What a coincidence, I still do not understand the Principals behind your Advanced Circles."

Selene laughed out loud and Vaan had no answer to it.

"Oh, look at me chatting with you when I should be healing you."

Suddenly, Selene realized, then, she smiled and,

"I am sorry for the delay, Vaan Astra Vesta and Elara Flameheart."

Saying those words, the council president closed her eyes and joined her hands,

"O Divine Light, so pure and bright,

Fill my heart with love and light.

Grant me peace and kindness too,

So I may spread kindness anew."

She started praying.

The moment the first words left her mouth, Vaan could already see the whirlpool of energy forming over her head and he couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock when he noticed something.

The amount of Faith Energy gathered…

It almost rivaled Veronica's teammate who was focused on healing her.

One had to know, that man was an Intermediate Level being, for Selene's Faith Energy to be rivaling her when she was only a 4th Circle Mage… that too when she didn't have any restriction of being able to use the blessing only a certain number of times…

Just how monstrous one could be?

Vaan couldn't help but wonder in his head. Even the three spirits sitting on his shoulders and head were looking at the scene in front of them with shocked looks on their faces and although Elara couldn't see it with her own eyes, seeing Vaan and the Spirit's reactions, she could tell that something surprising was happening.

"Bless me with your healing power,

Every soul, in every hour.

Grant me strength to heal and mend,

With your love, may all wounds transcend.

Illuminate our hearts each day,

So we may walk the righteous way.

In your name, we humbly pray,

O God of Light, show us the way."

The chant ended, a huge amount of Faith Energy gathered over Selene's head, Flamey and others gulped as they looked at the treat in front of them, however, knowing that this energy was supposed to be used in order to heal Vaan and Elara's wounds, they controlled themselves and didn't make a move.

After all, for them, nothing was more important than Vaan and Elara.

After all, for them, nothing was more important than Vaan and Elara.

Selene finally opened her eyes, her green eyes shining with a different radiance than before, she then glanced at both Vaan and Elara and the energy over her head moved, covering both Vaan and Elara.

The couple sensed the energy entering their body and they couldn't help but moan in pleasure and relief, it was as if they were placed under a bright son where their bodies were freezing. The slow, but regenerative process filled their entire body with bliss.

The two of them couldn't help but sigh in relief again, their wounds disappeared with a speed that was visible to the eyes. 5 minutes later, the two of them returned to their peak state, they could even feel their fatigue disappearing, but suddenly,

"The two of you should get a good rest now.

I recommend an eight-hour sleep."

Selene spoke with her usual, gentle smile on her face. Then, looking at Vaan and Elara's expressions, she just chuckled,

"Yes, I know, you must be feeling that your fatigue is treated as well, however, that is just the aftereffect of the blessing I used, it is not a permanent solution. If you carry on with your daily tasks, your fatigue will return.

Being treated with blessing or magic is alright, however, it still cannot overcome natural recovery.

Anyway, I have done what I had to do, I also had a great time chatting with the two of you, but since the two of you now need to rest, I will not bother you.

I will now be going, the two of you can rest here if you wish, going back to your Mansion isn't a problem either."

Saying those words, Selene smiled as she turned around and left.

Vaan and Elara stared at each other, then, Vaan jumped out of the bed and extended his hand towards Elara. Elara took the hand as she got out of the bed and the two decided to return to their mansion.

…

"Haaahh…"

Vaan sighed in relief as he jumped on his bed, Elara simply smiled as she shook her head. After settling everything down, she also sat on the bed and when the two made sure that they were alone, Vaan turned towards his Spirits.

"You three, where did you suddenly disappear to when you rushed towards the Faith Energy that mage gathered?"

Flamey looked at her sisters and saw that the two of them were staring at her, shifting all the responsibility onto the eldest sister, she couldn't help but pout and then glanced at Vaan who wanted answers.

"Spirit… world…"

The little spirit, no, the eldest sister answered.

"Spirit World…?"

Vaan narrowed his eyes.

This was the first time he had heard this name.

"Is it like a Home to all the Spirits?"

The name was self-explanatory however, Vaan still wanted to make sure.

Flamey nodded.

"So there were more spirits there besides you?"

Flamey nodded again.

"How many were there?"

The little Flamey counted with her little fingers, then, she extended her palm with 4 of her fingers up.

"Four?"

Flamey nodded again.

"There were more… we only met four…"

Flamey answered.

"How do you know there were more?"

"I could tell…"

Flamey replied with an unsure look on her face.

She could sense other Spirits was keeping eyes on them, her attention, however, was focused on the kind silver-haired spirit in front of her and she ignored the rest.

"How many total number Spirits were there?" Vaan questioned and suddenly, a strange light shown in Flamey's eyes.

"Many… thousands…"

She answered and Vaan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.

"Can only the Spirits enter the Spirit World?"

"Yes."

"Then is there a Spirit World in our Era?"

"Yes."

Flamey nodded again and both Vaan and Elara were surprised.

"Where is it?"

Even if he couldn't enter, there are chances that he might be able to see other spirits and get more information, however, the answer he received was strange,

"Everywhere."

"What…?"

"The Spirit World is everywhere."
