Chapter 275

"Since you already healed them and your healing is slowly evolving and becoming unique than normal healing spells, I think you are ready for the next stage of the training."

Kyle touched his chin, he was thinking, agreeing about it. 

"What's the next stage? Is it going to be hard?"

She asked but she was already determined to face it. She planned to be a strong Hunter, a powerful healer that could be trusted, especially by that certain person. Her eyes stared at Kyle, she was waiting for him to talk. 

"No, it's not hard." Kyle walked towards the cage full of snow rabbits. He grabbed one rabbit and stabbed its chest, he killed the cute rabbit without a tint of hesitation. Then he dropped the monster right before Andromeda, the blood splashed hitting her cheek.

"All you have to do is to revive this monster."

"… Huh?"

"You didn't hear me wrong, I said revive not heal. This monster is already dead, but there's a small glimpse that he will live. It all depends on your capability."

Kyle said as he stared at the rabbit with his deep heartless eyes. 

"I- I'll try my best."

Andromeda stuttered and didn't know what to do at first. Then, she decided to start with healing its wound. The wound was so brutal, the organs popped and the bleeding was horrendous.

Andromeda used her power to heal the rabbit but it didn't work. Just like a healing potion, her Skills won't work if the creature was dead. Her healing only works with living creatures. Still, she didn't stop and pressed her hands on the rabbit, she was amplifying the mana to heal the monster, but she failed. The rabbit didn't breathe nor did the wound heal, it slowly became cold and stiff. 

………
……
…

Andromeda was breathing hard, she was near losing her consciousness. However, she didn't give up. 

"One… One more time."

She tried reviving 173 rabbits but she failed. All of those poor rabbits died, she felt guilty. Despite being tired, the determination could be seen in her eyes. 

Kyle saw the dead creatures all around, even the grasses are hydrated by the blood. Overall, the place was in dismay. He grabbed another trembling rabbit and walked towards Andromeda, he stepped on the dead bodies, he was used to it, I tell you. 

He stared at the exhausted woman, he was impressed by Andromeda's willpower. 

"Before that, I can give you a clue.
Do you see this rabbit?" Kyle raised the struggling rabbit.

"Think of this as a person, but not an ordinary person. Think of this as the most important person in your life. I heard that you are an orphan, but it's impossible that you don't have friends or a boyfriend. Well, it doesn't matter, you can think of this rabbit as your friend, parents, siblings, whatever you want."

Kyle flicked the rabbit and its ear flew off, the creature cried and begged him. It didn't want to die, but Kyle was merciless so he wouldn't listen of course. 

"Now…"

*Stab*

Kyle stabbed the rabbit thrice, the creature convulsed as blood dripped down. 

"I want you to think that this is your dying mother or whatever, it will die if you don't save it. You are the only one who can save this poor guy. Remember this important thing, you only live ones, but there are those who received miracles and overcome death. This rabbit can do that, but it all depends on you. Will you let it die? The life of this creature is in your hands. The life of the people important to you, they are in your hands… The question is, will you save them or not?"

Kyle questioned her and Andromeda was choked, her breathing was unstable. She stared at the trembling rabbit, the blood was flowing out of its wound. 

.........

......

...

Andromeda started imagining, she imagined that she was in a war where thousands of spells flew around. She was so tired but she had to continue healing. There are dead bodies everywhere but she didn't stop casting her Skill. Then, as she was busy gathering her mana, a person suddenly landed before her. This man was bleeding so much and he was going to die. That person was Mikael. 

Mikael coughed blood and collapsed. Andromeda caught his large frame. She felt that Mikael was going to die, his blood was gushing out. Andromeda got teary but she wiped the tears before they could even accumulate. 

She gently laid him down and cast her Skill. Her hands moved and rest them on his chest, the warmth from her hands started covering Mikael's body. However, his wounds didn't heal... Andromeda realized that Mikael was dead. He is dead, she lost her mind for a second but determination quickly engulfed her. As long as she's here, she won't let Mikael die. 

"I will never let you die."

She said as her tears fell down. 

………
……
…

"… It seems like it's working."

Kyle looked at the incense that he hid close to the training ground. This incense induced hallucinations, but it only works with people who had a tired mind. And right now, Andromeda was weak physically and mentally. The incense was working and it was obvious that Andromeda was seeing something, perhaps she was seeing the thing that she greatly yearned. 

"I just give her a push. I spoke about the people important to her so that she will hallucinate about them."

He smirked. In all honesty, Kyle didn't know if this style is going to work. Andromeda's Skill could prevent hallucinations. 

"Well, if she cast her spell on herself, the hallucination will lose its effects. It's good that I prohibited her from healing herself with the excuse of her body should heal using its natural capabilities."

Kyle was not sure who was the person that Andromeda was seeing right now but it was obvious that she was doing her best. The fire in her eyes was burning strong. 

Overall, he liked her improvement. Andromeda was evolving as the day passed. If things went well, perhaps he could step the training up to the next stage and help her awaken her second Skill. 

"I helped her solely because of that Skill. Humanity needs her Skill. The Resurrection. The reason I killed those rabbits is to see if Andromeda can slightly revive them… If she succeeded, then this whole training is a success. Reviving a creature is impossible but this woman has the potential to create that miracle."
