Day 203: Instructor (I)

"First of all, it is true that the life element acts a little differently from the other elements concerning the color with which we can identify it." Shara wanted to explain it in the simplest way he could think of. "The most fundamental thing is that the runes of the life element originally have a pink color, so in principle, everything that has to do with said element will be represented with that color, but there is something else you should know."

Shara realized that Blake was still paying a lot of attention to her, and deep down she wished that Monica was like that every time she gave her little lessons.

"The life element is also divided in a somewhat peculiar way, you already know the Cure spell, and I think it's obvious that you realized that, even though it is a spell that uses the life element as a base, the color it takes when conjured is a light green that can be perfectly differentiated from the deep green of the wind element." Blake clearly remembered that, in addition to the healing spell, he had seen the pink color of the life element when Ragna had used one of his runic abilities. "That happens because that kind of spell converts your own runic energy into life energy for someone else or yourself, I don't know if it's the same case for runic abilities, but spells that are based on that principle will have that green color since it's said that represents the vital energy."

Blake had a rather pensive face since he didn't want to miss any of this new information, now everything was a little clearer for him, but when he listened to Shara again, he knew that there was more waiting for him.

"And now you will wonder what about the color pink, well this, in addition to being the identifying color of the life element, is also present when using an ability that, to perform it, you need to spend part of your vital energy in addition to runic energy." That again made a lot of sense to Blake, not only because he was able to see what happened to Shara a few moments ago, but also because he remembered Ragna's ability where he ended up with his life energy pretty depleted at the end. "That might answer your questions, but I think you don't really know another important point."

"Is there another kind of category?" Blake could guess that because he couldn't come up with a better idea.

"Hehe, exactly. So I'll show it to you so you can see it carefully." And repeating a scene quite familiar to Blake, he could see how a new sphere was generated in Shara's hand that clearly conveyed the feeling that it was made up of runes of the life element, but unlike the pink or green that he already knew, this time he could see a light blue almost white color adorning the same sphere. "This is another basic life element spell called Medipoison, and the function it has is quite simple since it can heal you of the poisoned state. It can save you from many kinds of poisons, but it can't do anything with the really powerful ones either."

Blake was surprised by that, plus he was excited because that spell would come in handy so he wouldn't have to try a single antidote herb anymore. In addition to the fact that the voice of the system did not take long to appear asking him what we all already know.

Shara saw how Blake closed her eyes for a moment and waited for him to come back to reality to continue with her explanation.

"Well, this type of spell is the simplest of all since you only spend runic energy to carry it out, but it only heals you from status ailments, even various diseases can be cured thanks to them, but they don't help you replenish your vitality and don't waste your vitality either, though that only happens if you have enough runic energy. So you can relate its color directly to that of runic energy in its pure state, although I've never seen it in that state..." Shara finished saying all that and Blake was quite satisfied with the explanation since it answered all those doubts that were in his head.

Shara heaved a sigh after that at the same time that she felt that the feeling of tiredness had disappeared enough. She also noticed that Shoku was still floating a bit far away, but anyone who saw her at that moment could tell that she was on full alert as if protect both her and Blake from any enemies that might appear.

"My plan was just to show you around this place, but it seems it took us longer than I thought." Shara caught Blake's attention again with those words.

"Yeah, I think I'm somewhat to blame for that... Did you have something to take care of for the festival?"

"Don't worry, there's still an hour to go before it starts, I have enough time to prepare myself." Saying that in farewell mode, Shara began to walk away along the same path that both she and Blake had arrived, but not before also saying goodbye to Shoku. "See you at the festival, I'll be supporting you!"

Blake smiled at Shara's words and waved his arm in the air to say goodbye one last time causing her to do the same while a joyous smile formed on her face giving a rather unique image as a small breeze passed by stirring the flowers causing them to blow some petals were carried by it while combining with Shara's figure at the same time that she completely disappeared from the place.

"You would have told me that I could help you that way, if I knew, I would have given you many of your favorite runes." Blake addressed Shoku saying those words, but all he received was a blow to the head for some reason.

Now, you could see how Shoku was slowly moving away from the open space from before, leaving Blake's inert body without even caring a bit about what could happen to him there.

The day still showed the morning light and the surrounding environment supported the beautiful view of the area, all of which indicated that there would be no problems regarding the weather during the festival, so Blake had to strive to win... Though he had to wake up first...
