2493 Strain of Power (Part 1)
Not only did Solus' presence make the lessons much more enjoyable for the male fourth year students, but she also taught Void Magic from a different angle by using one-step exercises that emphasized a single aspect of an elemental pair of elements.
Her methods were just as valid as Lith's but they offered an alternative approach to those who had been struggling to follow his teachings.
Time passed, Kamila entered the fourth month of pregnancy and Brinja gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Milla Distar, named in honor of her late grandmother Mirim. As the personal healer of both mother and daughter, Lith was summoned to deliver the baby.
Milla was born with a head full of brown hair with blue streaks all over, making Brinja cry with joy the moment Lith handed her the baby.
"She's identical to my mother." Brinja said amid tears.
"Let's hope that Milla has inherited Mom's talent for magic as well."
Lith couldn't see any resemblance between the serene, youthful beauty of the late Mirim and the screaming. wrinkly goblin in Brinja's arms. Yet he had long since learned to keep such thoughts to himself and that all newborns were just as beautiful as their parents claimed.
After giving the mother and daughter a full check-up and cleaning the room, the rest of the family and guests were allowed to enter. Headmaster Distar rushed to his wife's side, checking them both with his best diagnostic spell before questioning Lith.
"Did you make sure to remove every piece of the placenta?"
"Yes." Lith nodded.
"Did you remember to untangle the umbilical cord before the delivery? A prolonged lack of oxygen could impair the brain.
"Yes,"
"Did you keep track of the blood loss? If Brinja doesn't get life force now, in her weakened state even a small internal wound could go into sepsis and kill her."
"Yes. I also already gave her a blood potion to stay on the safe side and rejuvenated her." Lith was one of the only three rejuvenators in the entire Kingdom.
It was a matter of great prestige and one of the two reasons the Marquis hadn't delivered his daughter himself. The second was that he was aware of Lith's nature as Awakened and of his ability to heal wounds with a breath.
'I can't risk stuttering a magic word or fumbling a hand sign. Treating your own relative is already a healer's taboo, but two at the same time is even worse. Ainz had never failed a spell, but the idea of losing his wife and child made even the unlikely seem probable.
"Thank the gods and thank you!" Headmaster Ainz held Lith in a bear hug before returning to his family.
"The man was so nervous that I almost had to knock him out a couple of times. Marth said while entering the room along with Ryssa and Kamila.
"I can regenerate from almost any wound yet I seem to recall that you were no less worried for me." Ryssa held
his right arm and playfully squeezed his hand like during the delivery. "Vastor had to reassure you more often than me."
"Well, yes, but Dhiral- The Headmaster of the White Griffon blushed in embarrassment. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"Is a hybrid and heals almost as well." She chuckled.
"Does it always take this long?" Kamila had waited with the others for hours in the antechambers instead of a few minutes like for Salaark.
