Healer potential

The first second of waking was peaceful and painless but all good things can't last as in the next second the pain hits him like a tram. Gasping in pain he looks at his comm device to see how long he had been out, 6 hours of blissful painless sleep before he is forced to return and deal with the consequences of his overconfidence.

  He shouldn't have gone out that far but he did alerting a large slime group of his presence, if he stayed in the ten minute area he would have been able to first lure the 25 group to the stream and dealt with them.

It will take a month to fully recover from this injury the only upside is the lack of nerve damage, as it would go from taking only a month to a year to heal and that is only enough to deal with a small number of slimes.

Of course that would be with optimal conditions and medical aid with the injury being as bad as it is the chance for infection is high, along with skin not being able to grow back due to burns destroying the top layers of his skin.

Essentially he was in a position were the wound wouldn't properly recover and nothing he could do would change that, although he can use his energy to speed up process without a healer that can regrow lost parts or a proper medical treatment at a hospital the outcome would leave weak and easy to damage scar tissue on both legs. 

Closing his eyes he contemplates what he can do, a healer can deal with this injury with minimum scarring and regrow skin layers.

He has already proven he can manipulate different elements but manipulating an already existing thing and making something from scratch is different. If it was a big cut he could just use his energy to speed up the healing process, but this is regrowing a completely damaged part with no aid from his body.

Sighing he begins to think of the survival classes given by the school that talked about fetal development as a part of a way to prevent kids from imitating what they see their parents at home do. They said the body after birth still retains stem cells that have the genetic make up of all of your body and can become any other cell in the body, if he can manipulate these cells to his legs and influence them to multiply and change he can heal his legs.

But the catch was he had to find and identify these cells and if he gets the wrong cell he will have potentially a much more horrific case of the wrong thing growing on his legs.

Entering his mental sphere he reaches out to the plant he has connected with, it was able to purify his body before it may be able to help him now. Sensing the plant he had connected with he got up and staggered to the growing bed slowly looking for it however no matter how he searched he couldn't sense any of the plants here of being the one he was connected to.

After slowly looking through each plant he contemplated and began following the connection to the farthest he can, sensing none of the current plants as it, he guesses that maybe it is still a seed. Digging in the area while trying not to disturb the plants he finally found a small barely sprouted seed that he could sense a connection to. Lifting it up he contemplates what plant it is as it is not a vegetable or it would either be dead due to being not buried enough or a bean plant as it would have already fully grown. He had put the plants at the most common depth based off what I thought it was, beans at 1 inch depth, and any he assumed to be vegetables at 10 inches in depth as that was the central number of different growing depths he knew.

Seeing the way it looks he probably assumed it a bean when he buried it and that's why it was only an inch in the ground, but he had no way of knowing exactly what it was. Moving it to a freshly pulled area with nothing else he put it down and put a thin layer of dirt on it, most likely it connected with him due to surviving off his energy. 

Meaning where and how it was buried was unconducive to it's growth, if its not a vegetable and it is inconducive to being buried with even a inch deep it is most likely one of the medicinal herbs or flowers grown by the base.

With no experience growing these types of things and no idea what it could be he can only be extremely careful with it.

He owes it his life and now needed it more then ever, laying down on the soil beside it I enter the mental sphere to connect at a deeper level. Feeling more vitality and strength in it from change in soil depth he knew he had done right, slowly he reaches out mental energy to wrap around the plant. But to his surprise he feels it also reach out it's mental energy and do the same to him, after a second a strange feeling emerged in his mind. It was a feeling similar to happiness, but it wasn't his emotion but rather the plants.

  Slowly he began to push his feeling of distress and pain across the bond, following it a rapid flow of airy and soft energy entered. He felt the pain in his legs lessen and the skin on his legs begin to slowly converge over the wounds, after what felt like seconds but he was sure had to be much longer the energy subsided.

Waking he looked at his legs, what was once a wound the size of a plate hadn't decreased in size but rather he could see what was once an area devoid of all skin now looked like an area were only a first degree burn had taken place.
