Unlike what one might expect, the moment the woman behind him cast a so-called healing spell on him, the pain James felt was suddenly magnified, so much so, that he even began screaming again, and even louder than before.
But even so, after over three days of experiments and seven different experimental subjects, Beatrice had gained a rather good understanding of the Dark Healing, as such, the large cut on the abdomen of the subject suddenly began healing at a rapid speed.
As she was healing him, Beatrice no longer attempted to shut the subject up, merely focusing on the healing, and after the large cut on the subject's abdomen was healed, Beatrice focused on his throat, which was actually bleeding from his screams.
After Beatrice had completely healed the subject, he suddenly began shouting.
"Let me go, let me go," shouted James as he tried to struggle against the restraints, but sadly, it was fruitless as the restraints seemed completely unmovable.
Hearing this, a certain thought appeared in Beatrice's mind as a smile appeared on her face.
"Don't worry, we will not kill you," said Beatrice with a large smile on her face as she stared at James's face.
...
Five days later,
As he looked at the skinny old man stuck onto the bed, even William couldn't help but feel some pity for him.
"You administered his drugs?" asked Beatrice as she walked into the experiment room.
"Yes mistress," said William.
The moment James discovered he became older and older with every healing, he began fiercely struggling, even trying to commit suicide, as such, Beatrice had to put him continuously unconscious.
"I will be the one to injure him right now, you just stand by in case I need anything," said Beatrice as she walked up to the old James before removing his shirt.
A few minutes later,
As she lightly used the dark healing spell to keep James in tip-top shape, Beatrice raised her left hand.
"Give me the saw," said Beatrice, causing William to hand a saw over to her.
Merely a few moments later, Beatrice cut James sternum with the saw before raising his ribs upwards.
Looking at the heart, which was still pumping blood even now, Beatrice breathed a sigh of relief, but sadly, as Beatrice continued to use dark healing on him, James lost even more of his lifespan, and only a few minutes later, passed away.
"Have you recorded everything?" asked Beatrice as she looked at William, who had a small crystal in his hand right now.
"Yes mistress, all of his internal organs were clearly visible," said William, causing a smile to appear on Beatrice's face.
"You dispose of him before cleaning this place and the tools, I need to study this," mumbled Beatrice as she cleaned her hands before picking up the crystal from William's hands and exiting the experiment room.
Without saying anything else, Beatrice walked out of the experiment room before going into the bathroom to take a quick shower to clean herself up.
Even though she usually spent more time in the shower, enjoying the hot water, moments after she became clean, Beatrice quickly exited it, got dressed before sitting down on her bed and picking up the crystal.
...
As she looked at the dozen or so photos of every organ while they were still alive, Beatrice's eyes shone.
"There are some differences, but it's nothing too major," mumbled Beatrice as she quickly flipped to one of the last pages of her notebook and looked at her previous sketch of the human body, that she had made back before she entered the Shadow Monastery.
Without saying anything else, Beatrice got to work, as her new, more accurate sketch of the human body slowly appeared in her notebook.
Although to the naked eye, the two images looked similar, the one Beatrice was creating now was miles more accurate, as back before she entered Magic School, Beatrice could not dissect human bodies with such ease, as most of her experimental subjects would soon die one way or another.
As such, using the results of the experiments from these past few months, after over an hour of drawing, Beatrice created her most accurate representation of the human body yet, with each of the 206 bones in the body clearly represented.
After Beatrice finished drawing the sketch, she suddenly raised her head as she heard a small noise.
'This will save me so much time in the long run,' thought Beatrice as she watched William measure the amount of alcohol he should take out of the vat, so as to prepare Beatrice's tools.
After only having to spend some effort teaching him, William could now fully help Beatrice deal with all of the inconveniences of experimenting, from dealing with human remains, to sterilizing her tools and even cleaning around her room.
Ignoring William, who was working right now, Beatrice's attention then turned to the new experiment that she wanted to do.
In fact, Beatrice had attempted this experiment before she entered magic school, but rather sadly, back then the experiment had been a resounding failure, with both of the experimental subjects dying.
As she gazed at the sketch of the human body she had just made, a smile appeared on Beatrice's face.
"That should be a good place to attempt it," mumbled Beatrice as her eyes passed through the bones of the human body, deep in thought.
Of course, compared to before she entered magic school, Beatrice's ambitions regarding this project had grown, leaving her no longer wanting to just have the experimental subject survive.
Picking up a Biology book that she had not yet read, Beatrice quickly flipped to the pages regarding nerves, before shaking her head, not having found what she had desired.
"I guess I have to experiment on my own," mumbled Beatrice before quickly getting up from the bed and walking out of her room, so as to buy an experimental subject.
Seeing this, William hurried up in cleaning up the experiment room, so as to prepare his mistress's next experiment.
