Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 264 Rima's choice[1]

Max thought for a while and then nodded, "Okay. I'll go." Before the system could react, he added, "However, it will after I return to the academy." He didn't want to leave his women alone lest they encounter some other problem.

[Alright, host.] The system replied indifferently.

"So, you can give me that foundation healing pill now, right?" Max asked.

[It has already been stored in your inventory, host.] The system replied before going silent.

Hearing this, Max hurriedly opened his inventory and found a translucent pill.

Without delay, he took it out, threw it into his mouth, and gulped it down.

Boom!

The moment he did so, the medicinal energy blasted out of the pill and started to spread throughout his body before slowly converging around his Mana core.

At the start, when the soothing medicinal energy spread in his body, he felt very comfortable. However, when it reached his Mana core, he started to feel a little bit of pain.

Initially, he could endure it without any problem as he was used to it after enhancing his Mana a few times, but after a few seconds, the pain magnified several folds and forced him to clench his teeth so hard that his gums started to bleed, but he still endured it as he didn't want his pained cries to startle the girls.

"Argh!" However, despite his great efforts, a pained groan still escaped his mouth, and his vision started to blur as if he was going to pass out at any moment.

Just when he was trying his best to remain clear-headed, the system's voice sounded in his ears, [It's okay if host falls unconscious. It won't affect the healing process in the least.]

After hearing this, Max stopped resisting, and due to overwhelming pain, it didn't take him even an instant before he fell unconscious.

Bang!

Right after, the door to his room was blasted open, and two beautiful figures with concerned looks charged in. They were obviously Belen and Leticia, who had heard his cry.

Whoosh!

Leticia appeared beside his bed and wanted to feed him a healing pill when she saw how his body was still quivering in pain. However, Belen stopped her and put her hand on his chest before sending out his Mana in waves to check his condition. Immediately after she did so, her eyes widened in shock.

"H-How can this be happening?" She muttered in disbelief.

"Belen, W-what's happening to him?" Leticia worriedly asked after seeing Belen's expression.

Belen took a deep breath to calm her emotions and smiled, "It's nothing to worry about. As you know that his injuries hadn't healed completely before, he must have taken some healing elixir. Now that his injuries are being healed very quickly, it is normal that he is feeling some pain."

"Oh!" Leticia nodded and asked, "Is there anything we can do to alleviate his pain?"

"I'm afraid we can't." Belen shook her head and patted her shoulder, "It's okay. He'll be fine after a few minutes."

"Hmm!" Leticia nodded helplessly and sat on the bed beside him as she held his hand.

Belen also sat down. However, she was trying to suppress the shock in her heart, the change in her expression and glints in her betrayed her. 'H-he has medicine capable of healing the injuries of Mana core?' She recalled what she saw in shock.

Previously, when she was treating him, she had seen that apart from the injuries to his organs and veins, his Mana core was injured quite a bit and, for some reason, was deprived of Mana.

This gave her a huge scare. She even thought he would be crippled for the rest of his life. She thought like this because, to her knowledge, there wasn't any medicine capable of healing injuries to Mana's core in the Green leaf kingdom or even in the whole western part of the continent.

After realizing this, the thought of leaving his side sprouted in her mind for a fleeting moment before it was suppressed by her. She even blamed herself for having such thoughts.

After all, he never treated her unjustly and treated the same as Leticia and Rima, and coupled with the fact that she was happy being with him, she decided that no matter what, she wouldn't leave him.

However, now she witnessed that his core injuries were being healed and noticed the medicinal energy around his core, it was expected that she would be stunned like she was. If it were someone else in her place, they would've reacted even more strongly. However, she didn't as she had seen that until now, Max had shown some things which shouldn't be possible according to her.

'He is a mysterious man indeed.' She thought as a relieved smile appeared on her lips. At the same time, she was relieved that she didn't make the choice that any sane person who wanted to become strong would've made.

Knock! Knock!

Just then, someone knocked on the door, and a gentle and aged voice sounded.

"Hello, miss Belen. Is everything alright?"

Belen stood up and went to open the door. An old man and a woman were standing with slightly concerned expressions. Both of them looked somewhat sickly.

They both were humble looking and wore simple clothes. Moreover, both seemed feeble, as if they had been sick for a long time. However, despite everything, anyone who saw them would be attracted because there was something peculiar about them: their pointy ears.

"Hello, elders." Belen smiled lightly. This duo was the elf couple they saved from the dark mages. Because they felt indebted to them, they followed them here to wait for Max to wake up and express their gratitude for saving their lives.

"Hello, miss. We heard some cries from your room. Is everything alright?" The female elf asked.

"No. Everything is fine." Belen shook her head without explaining anything. She then scanned them up and down and smilingly said, "It seems elders have recovered quite a lot in these few days."

The elf couple smiled and nodded, "Yes, a little. Unfortunately, we can no longer recover to our previous peaks."

Belen's eyes flashed with sympathy for a moment after hearing this. She then asked, "How's that little guy? Has he recovered?"
