Chapter 59: Serka’s Interrogatory
The battle wasn’t like they had predicted, but Yale’s performance at the end of the fight gave Kermu the opportunity to finish the eagle.
Before anyone could say anything about the battle’s result, Yale rushed towards Wyba and carried her to the eagle’s corpse. Then, he soaked her in the eagle’s blood and forced her to drink it before casting Time Healing.
The eagle’s blood started to fuse with Wyba as Yale used Emergency Recovery to recover his Origin Points to be able to use Time Healing, the Origin Points he had at that moment weren’t enough to cast Time Healing after the battle.
After casting the spell, the system sent another notification.
“The user’s beast is recovered and entered in a slumber.”
As Yale heard the system’s notification, he smiled. Wyba being safe was something more important to him than obtaining any reward after killing the eagle.
Yale had surpassed his limits in that battle. He overused Bloodline Force and his Origin Points; he even needed to use Emergency Recovery in the end, so he was feeling extremely weak.
Once Yale finished healing Wyba, and the notification had appeared in his mind, Yale fell unconscious.
The group looked at Yale with strange expressions; they had seen how Yale managed to use a peculiar method combined with his own healing to save Wyba.
Only Serka was able to understand Yale’s method, and that was the reason why she was the most shocked of all.
Yale slept for a whole day.
In that day, Nurvey had set some spell formations in the eagle’s previous nest, and they used it to rest.
Even if Yale and Wyba were the only ones unconscious, all of them were tired from the battle; they didn’t even try to found out any reward after the fight ended.
After awakening, Yale looked at Wyba who remained unconscious, the method to heal her was an extreme one, but it managed to turn misfortune to good fortune.
Wyba’s potential would grow a lot after she awakened from the slumber.
Kermu had the intention to talk with Yale about the previous battle when he saw that he awakened, but Serka was quicker than him.
“Who are you?”
The group was surprised to hear Serka’s question, Yale had indeed used some weird skills in the battle, but that wasn’t enough to doubt about his identity.
Yale didn’t know how to react; he had indeed used skills that a normal commoner kid wouldn’t be able to use.
Yale feared that the Last Wish System or the fact he reincarnated would be discovered, so he tried to explain everything with calm avoiding the parts that implied reincarnation or some support from the system.
“I had already told you before; I am Yale. I am a commoner from a backwater city. The skill I used in mid-air before, is something that I haven’t learned properly. I am only able to use it sometimes.”
That wasn’t false, Yale could only use it once per week, and he didn’t learn the skill as he didn’t know how exactly worked.
“The method I used to heal Wyba was something I read in a book a long time ago, combined monster blood with a proper healing spell is an effective method to reverse a deathly situation to a young beast.”
That was also true, Yale had read it time ago, and it was recorded into the system’s database, even if Yale had forgotten about that method, he indeed learned about it by reading the first time.
The original method only told about using the most powerful healing spell possible, so the system turned it to be Time Healing as it was Yale’s most powerful healing spell.
“What about your healing spell?”
Serka still had a strange face as Yale explained the previous points, the other members thought that Yale’s explanation made sense, but Serka continued asking.
“That spell is something that I could only use for a second, my talent and realm isn’t enough to use it properly right now. I learned it through enlightenment while observing healing magic.”
“You knew anyone else who could use it?”
Serka seemed to be interrogating Yale, that was something strange as usually she was warm and didn’t put pressure on others.
“My sister had the same enlightenment, but she had the enlightenment at first sight of some healing magic while I needed almost an hour. She is way better than me in healing magic, she is a real healer and can use that spell properly.”
Yale didn’t want to reveal the existence of Time Healing, but as the other party asked about the healing spell he just explained the truth, omitting the spell’s name and its element.
However, even that answer didn’t make Serka’s face return to normal.
“Tell me your clan’s name, don’t worry about it, we wouldn’t blame you for saying it.”
Saying the name of the clan was the same as telling a surname, but as a noble was the one specifically asking for it, it was also the noble’s duty to say that there wouldn’t be any repercussions.
“That clan is named Roanmad, but I don’t feel like I belong to it, I left nothing there. Furthermore, the clan didn’t have any relation to my skills or my sister’s.”
The other three didn’t know what was going out with Serka’s interrogatory, but as Yale simply replied all without seeming in a bad mood due to it, they didn’t stop her from asking.
“The isn’t any way such puny clan has any relation with such skills. But that is only by your father’s part right, what do you know about your mother’s family?”
That time Yale’s expressions changed a bit before replying.
“I don’t know anything, she died after I was born and my father never told me about her, I didn’t even know her name, how would I know about her family…”
Yale wanted to know more about her mother, but he was unable to find anything.
That time no one doubted about Yale’s answer, the grieve in his voice was real.
“I see, can you tell me about the name of that backwater city and your academy.”
Serka seemed to have been softened a bit after Yale’s previous answer.
“Nacesai City and Nacesai Academy, both have the same name.”
“Are you sure that your mother died after your birth?”
Serka changed the topic again, after asking for the city and the academy returned to Yale’s mother.
The others felt that asking that was a lack of tact as the topic was something that affected Yale.
“I always thought that. However, lately I have doubts about it, there is something off.”
That time Yale didn’t think before answer, as that was something he pondered a lot he replied automatically.
“I understand, now it makes sense.”
Serka returned to her usual expression while saying those words.
“Wait Serka! Even if you understand, we didn’t know why you asked that many questions to Yale. What conclusion you reached?”
Kermu was the one who asked, but Nurvey and Hyrk were also curious.
“I discovered Yale’s identity as well as his mother’s identity.”
Serka’s answer was unexpected; the others didn’t understand how she managed to deduce anything like that with those questions.
The one who understood it less was Yale.
Even Yale didn’t know anything about his mother; he didn’t know how could some words of him reveal her identity.
Yale obviated the part about his own identity; his mother’s identity part was that shocking that he forgot about the other part of the sentence.
As Yale was still speechless, Kermu was the one who spoke to Serka.
“I know you, and you aren’t the kind of person that would lie about such serious topics. Why are you sure you discovered their identities?”
At that time, Serka smiled.
“Because the healing spell he used, that spell is something Yale inherited from his mother bloodline.”
Until that point, even Yale had already guessed it as only he and Ange were able to use it.
“You didn’t know about healing, so it isn’t surprising you didn’t notice it. The spell Yale used is Time Healing, I can’t confuse it from another spell.”
The nobles’ faces changed after hearing Serka’s words.
“Furthermore, the spell or skill he used in mid-air emanated time ripples, it was of the time element without a doubt. Furthermore, that skill’s level was extremely high, even being able to use it sometimes without understanding it is something that a normal kid can’t do.”
At that moment the only one who didn’t understand the situation was Yale.
“Yale, I doubt you know it, but the time element is our Zhan Clan’s bloodline affinity and Time Healing a legacy spell is hidden within the bloodline. It isn’t possible to learn a complicated spell like Time Healing in the mortal rank without the clan’s bloodline.”
Yale was shocked; he indeed didn’t know anything about the noble clan’s specialties.
“In the last twenty years, only one woman from the Zhan Clan decided to leave the clan to marry some unknown man from a backwater city. That is your mother; it can’t be anyone else. The city and clan she went when leaving the clan are the same as you had just speak of.”
Yale was still processing the information when Serka’s next words shocked him even more.
“Some clan members were displeased with your mother, as she was a rarely seen genius even in the Zhan Clan. However, you can be assured that I belong to the other faction and I don’t have any bad intentions towards you. After all, your mother is my mother’s little sister, my aunt.”
That revelation shocked even the other nobles. If Yale’s mother was Serka’s aunt, wouldn’t that mean that both were cousins?
They had difficulties to believe such a coincidence.
