Another Slight Improvement

After agreeing to enter the academy, Vaan and Helia Ashenborn enjoyed their meal over some idle talk.

As Vaan filled his belly, the spiritual food, which was akin to quality medicine, nourished his body. They improved his health and strengthened his physical abilities.

It wasn't something a commoner could enjoy, and it wasn't something any noble household could enjoy every day either.

Vaan was certain that Helia Ashenborn was burning away her wealth to maintain her health.

By keeping the rest of her body healthy, she could at least slow down the spread of the second-stage antimagic spores that fused with her hands.

Nevertheless, Vaan didn't shy away from the food because of that. After eating his fill, Vaan excused himself from the Great Hall and returned to his guestroom for the night.

Tomorrow, Vaan was going to visit the academy.

…

"Come in, Hester," Helia Ashenborn summoned before watching Hester Thornton enter the Great Hall from the kitchen entrance on the left side.
