Giving Homework

Shortly after Vaan left with a True Witch assigned to guide him back to the Brewing Chamber, Helia Ashenborn didn't stay in the Great Hall either.

Helia Ashenborn returned to the outer courtyard, where Hester Thornton and the three True Witches were previously left.

"Lord Helia," Hester Thornton quickly greeted.

"Un," Helia Ashenborn acknowledged with a nod before casting her gaze over the three True Witches. "How are they doing, Hester?"

"As you can see, Lord Helia, the True Witches are absorbing mana quite well thanks to the Sir Vahn's version of the Pore Stimulation Potion. There's no sign of steady temperature increase in their bodies," Hester Thornton replied.

"Their temperatures have been bouncing up and down around the same level. It's like their bodies are meant to rise in temperature due to the induced excitement, but at the same time, something is cooling them down."
