Healer?

When Lothar arrived at the yellow Rift office he was asked to show his evaluation of the Guild so he could enter the Rift. When the guard saw his stats he was a little bit speechless he thought how could the Guild send someone this week inside, the first Lvl of the tower was one hell of an experience for a 15-year-old. But since he has the agreement of the Guild he has the right to enter. "Do you have enough provisions so you will last at least 2 months?" The guard Standing at the Rift asked him. "Yes, I have enough" The Inventory skill everyone possessed was a real lifesaver at times, one can store food and water there without it being wasted or going bad.

After the attack on his home town Mennig, Lothar got a lot of money from the insurance companies so he could live on and take it easy for the rest of his life. "Please, take care of yourself kid. The training course is not easy." Lothar looked at the guard that asked him to watch out for himself and answered, "I am used to the training I will make it through somehow, thank you for your concern." After that, he entered the Rift.

When Lothar entered he was engulfed in yellow light, it felt like he was completely weightless and was flying through the air. Suddenly the system's voice could be heard:

---Welcome to the yellow Rift---

---Please enter your name---

"Lothar Schwarz"

---Please enter your Nickname---

"Lothar"

---Please choose a training course---

---Available courses are---

---Swordsmen training course---

---Scout training course---

---Mage training course---

---Healer training course---

"I choose the Healer training course"

Suddenly the yellow light became brighter and brighter till Lothar had to close his eyes. When the lights dimmed down and he was able to open his eyes he was in a hallway with two doors.

---Choose a path---

On top of the doors were stone plates with figures carved into it. On the right one were many persons carved into and in the left one where only one person carved into. "If my guess is correct this will decide if I want to focus on Healing others or if I want to focus on self-healing abilities." He then walked to the left door and entered without hesitation. It seemed like he had a plan in mind.

Behind this door was a square garden with suspicious-looking faces carved into the walls surrounding the garden. The garden was filled with various herbs and plants that gave off a very fresh and satisfying aroma. Soon the faces on the walls opened there eyes and mouths. Lothar was on guard he knew what was to come. Through reading the game guide and from experiences other Healers made during the class change he knew what to do.

As long as he stood in the center he would be safe, where he could rest and take care of himself. The nearer he walks to one side of the room he would be attacked by the faces on the wall. If he can touch a wall this wall will be deactivated. After deactivating all the walls he will have finished the training course.

Lothar walked nearer to the wall in front of him as suddenly the eyes of all the faces in front of him focused on him. As he walked another step rocks the size of a watermelon flew at him. He tried to dodge them as good as possible but to no avail, he was hit multiple times.

--- -5HP---

--- -5HP---

... and so on

He stepped back and sat down in the center of the room and began to meditate. He emerged himself in the sunlight and breathed in the fresh aromatic air of the room. He tried to feel all the changes in his body and focused on his wounds. Soon he realized that the air he breathed in created some kind of energy inside of his body that could be redirected at his will. He guided this newfound energy to his wounds and soon understood that he was able to heal his wounds. Healers can conect to life energy through their high vitality.

--- +10HP---

--- +10HP---

"Nice, so this is how it works. Let's give it another try." He stood up and tried again. This time he channeled this energy directly to the places he was hit at so he would recover immediately.

--- -5HP---

--- -5HP---

--- +10HP---

If someone were to see this they would simply stand there with there mouth Agape. It would normally take 2 or 3 days to find out that there is an energy inside of one's body from absorbing the sunlight and fresh air. This is an energy that flows through everyone but through this pure air and sunlight, one can feel it quicker.

Lothar was able to feel it so fast because his body is so weak that he would immediately notice every change and energy fluctuation. And to channel it through your body and Heal your wounds would normally take another 2 days. But he is doing it while moving. Healing yourself while moving is normally a Skill that only the advanced Healer class Monk can do. But he was able to make it his own. He was able to do so because he could split his mind and do more things at the same time.

He was a complete genius, what could be his stats if it were not for the curse of weakness in him. 50% reduction of all abilities, does that mean his stats would normally be 10 points in all stat parameters? That would be unimaginable. But Lothar is driven from revenge and trained like there was nothing else. It is a miracle that he was even able to gain five stat points, the other survivors of Mennig are mostly bedridden or dead by now.

It only took him two days to deactivate the first wall. If this goes on he will be able to finish the whole training course in a weak. Normally people will Need between 1 and 2 months to finish the training courses this also counts the other classes training courses. If he would finish in a week he would be the record holder. But this was not what he was after. He was focused and immersed in training like always. The training allowed him to forget about his past and look into the future.

On the second day, he challenged a new wall. This time the stones that flew in his direction were twice as fast and only the size of a Tennisball. He could not Keep up with his healing. And his stats were to low to continuously heal and evade at the same time. He needs to come up with a new idea. Normally people will take the full brunt of the attacks and heal afterward. But Reinhart's stats were to low for that, he needs to think of a solution. But for now he did the same as before, he steadily walked to the wall and healed himself while advancing step by step. After the damage was too heavy to continue he would turn back to the center and rest and heal completely.

He did this for another day, it was now the third day inside the Healer training course. He was neither exhausted nor fatigued, he was used to training all the time. When he was about to try it again this time he wanted to try a different approach. He focused the energy he uses for healing and imbued them to his leg muscles. he thought as long as he could run and have no damage to his legs he could touch the wall. He imbued all of his energies into his legs and readied himself for the sprint.

As Lothar began to run he found out that his body felt as light as a feather and that his legs gave off a strength he has never felt before. He was very fast and headed in a zig-zag path for the wall. The stones that came flying for him hit nothing but air. "How am I so fast? Is this a Buff?" A few seconds later he touched the wall and diactivated it. Just the third day and he is already on the third wall this hast never happened before.

When he walked back to the center he noticed that his Mana was nearly consumed so he sat down and meditated for a while till he was back to normal. After that he prepared to walk to the third wall, he focused his energies at his legs again and began to sprint in a zig-zag path. He was not trying to reach the wall he just wanted to know what comes next and how he should approach this obstacle. This time the faces at the wall did not shoot stones but tiny arrows nearly impossible to see.

After a few seconds, he returned to the center. He was covered in wounds from arrows that graced him. He soon noticed that something was not right and sat down to meditate. There was foreign energy flowing through his body that made him slow down. "Is this poison? Shit, I need to do something." He tried to direct his energies so that he engulfed the poison in his body and hoped that his life energies would neutralize the poison. And it worked, slowly but surely the poison dissolved and he could focus on healing his wounds. "Seems like this one is a little tricky."

Again normal people brace the attacks due to their high vitality they are able to withstand the attacks and focus on healing them afterward. But Lothar's Vit stat is only at 5. "What should I do?" He prepared a meal and began to think about a solution to this obstacle. After eating and resting for a while he took one of the arrows that he had to pull out of his body and pierced his arm with it. He then concentrated on the foreign energy in his body. This time it was just a small amount so he channeled his energies and tried to block the poison from entering... to no avail. He then surrounded the poison again and dissolved it.

"There has to be another way. I read in a book that by consuming poison in small doses regularly one can build antibodies and get immune to it... do I really have to do it? I guess I have no other choice." He pierced his arm again, then he channeled his life energy around the poison to dissolve it but this time he left a tiny bit of it in his body. The poison spread out and immobilized him for about half an hour. His already pale face looked even paler after he came back to his senses. He then rested a few hours and did the same thing again and again.

A whole week passed by and it was now the tenth day in the training ground in total. Lothar was now able to recover from the poison in less than a minute even without dissolving a part of it. He began to feel some changes in his body when the poison enters his body... it is as if he had established a connection to it, nearly like with the energy he uses to heal himself. He pierced his arm again when the poison entered his body he this time tried to feel it and not simply let it do what it wants to. As he felt the poison he soon noticed that he was able to control the flow of the poison. He was able to direct it to one spot and dissolve it on ist own without the help of the life energy.

"Wall 3, here I come." After resting a bit he prepared himself and buffed his legs again. He then began his sprint this time a direct approach without the zig-zag movement. this would take to long and he would lose too much HP on his way to the wall. As he was sprinting he tried to evade as many arrows as possible with light right and left shifts of his upper body. During this time he dissolves the poison in his body without the help of the life energy. And a few seconds later he managed to reach wall 3.

After dissolving the rest of the poison and healing his wounds, he headed back to the center and prepared something to eat. 10 days are over and he is on the fourth wall this is record time. the fastest person who made it through the Healer training course is a woman named Vivian and is the current leader of one of the top Guilds out there. She needed 3 weeks for the training course. And now Lothar has another 11 days left for the last wall.

"Now for the last wall." As he approached the wall it was a combination of all the walls he touched before big stones at a slow pace, fast pace small stones, and poison arrows. He had to watch out for 3 different kinds of attacks cure poison, buff his legs and constantly heal the wounds he sustained. After seeing what lays ahead he stepped back and began to train at the other side of the garden. He focused on enhancing his movements as well as spreading the life energies in every corner of his body and occasionally piercing himself with a poison arrow. He trained like this for another 5 days till he noticed that he has mastered all three techniques and he could not improve any further.

Again he rested and prepared himself as much as possible before he would attempt to touch the wall. After his preparations, he buffed his legs and moved like he practiced the last 5 days. Not a single arrow or stone grazed him as he simply evaded everything and touched the wall.

---Congratulations---

---You have finished the Healer training course---

---You have completed the training in under 20 days---

---Special reward +10 Vit---

---Would you like to change your Class to Healer?---

---Yes---

---No---

"Special reward? For doing it in under 20 days?" Lothar was overjoyed. "Who would have guessed there was this hidden reward." He spent 2 years training like no one else and now, at last, he was able to increase a stat by 10 points. He had to let this sink bevor he could make any further decisions. But after thinking it over for a while he said. "No"
