Chapter 51 Minor healing
Hearing this, Julia shook her head. "No matter the reason, you helped me. Thank you!"
At her words, Alice's gaze toward her softened a little, and she nodded. "Mm."
Julia then slowly stood up, looked at Luke and,
Whoosh!
She threw herself at him and hugged him, burying her head in his chest. "Thank you!"
Luke, Lori and Alice all were stunned by this. Alice's eyes glinted strangely for a moment before she said to Lori, "You guys finish here. I'm going to check if there are more zombies ahead." Saying this, she walked away.
Lori didn't respond to her because she was staring at her daughter hugging Luke. This wouldn't be a problem if she hadn't done what she had done with him last night or if Julia didn't have a romantic feeling for him, which she clearly had.
'No. Before things go out of hand, I have to… talk to her.' She thought.
Luke froze for a moment and then glanced awkwardly at Lori, whose eyes were narrowed at them and shuddered.
Trying to sound neutral, he patted her back lightly and said, "Don't mention it. You are one of my people and it's only right that I make sure you are safe."
Julia pouted and muttered to herself in a low voice, "As expected." And pulled back, breaking the hug.
Just then, Ben, professor Nina, and others walked over and congratulated her. In return, she also congratulated professor Nina and Rio.
Rio thanked her, took a deep breath and said, "Sir Luke, I have decided. I want to learn this [Steel body] skill. It suits my fighting style well."
"Alright." Luke nodded and gave him the skillbook. Wasting no time, Rio immediately learned it and on Luke's suggestion, he put the free status points into the [Agility] to negate the skill's side effect a little.
Lori checked the zombie Julia killed and found that it had also dropped a skillbook. She gave it to Luke, who checked it.
[Minor Healing (First order, level 3): Consumes mana and heals minor wounds and illnesses. Limitation: Maximum Three use/per day.]
Luke's eyes brightened when he saw the details and couldn't help but exclaim, "Our luck is good!"
"Oh? What is it?" Julia curiously asked. Shadow and others also looked at him.
"It's a healing skill. From what I know, ordinary medication has become all but useless for evolvers like us. So, when we get injured or catch some sickness which is rare, very few things can help us. And the healing skills are one of them." Luke explained.
"Really? That's great." Julia excitedly said. Although her fever has gone down after the advent of mana, she still wasn't feeling completely fine. So, this skill was good news for her.
While everyone cheered, Shadow's eyes had narrowed as he looked at Luke, but he didn't say anything. However,
Alice, who had just returned to the group, heard him and asked, "How do you know normal medication won't work?"
Hearing this, Shadow and others also looked at him in surprise, thinking, 'That's right. How does he know this and all other things?'
Luke glanced at Alice, and then just shrugged. "Just like I knew people were going to turn into zombies."
Ben, Professor Nina, Rio and Shadow gave him a look but didn't say anything as they could see he wasn't willing to explain.
Alice, however, frowned and asked, "Are you sure what you said is true?"
"Absolutely." Luke nodded, which caused Alice's expression to turn gloomy.
"What is it?" He asked when he saw this.
Alice took a deep breath. "My father, he has a heart problem."
Luke understood why she got worried. To ease her worries, he said, "Don't worry. As long as he doesn't become an evolver, ordinary medication would work, but their effects would be slightly less."
Alice still had that gloomy expression as she shook her head. "I know him well enough to say he must have become an evolver by now. Despite his heart condition, he is a strong man."
"Since that's the case, you don't have to worry much. If he can reach level 11 and become a first order evolver, his heart problem won't be much of a problem anymore." Luke said, "However, the only problem is…"
"…He needs to do it because his heart problem flares up." Alice completed his sentence.
Alice was silent for a while. She then turned around and walked in the city wall's direction, saying, "Let's not waste any more time here."
"Yes." Luke nodded.
Alice was silent for a while. She then turned around and walked in the city wall's direction, saying, "Let's not waste any more time here."
Luke at looked her seemingly lonely figure and sighed before glancing at Julia, and professor Nina and asked, "Tell me how much mana do you guys have?"
"I have 18," Julia said, surprising Luke. It seemed both mother and daughter had a high mana affinity compared to the rest.
"I… only have 8," Professor Nina said with a downcast expression. She wanted to have more mana so she could be of more use to Luke like Lori, but it seemed her luck wasn't with her this time.
"Eh? It… it's alright professor. You can always increase it later on." Luke said when he saw her expression.
"Mm." Professor Nina nodded, not wanting to make him feel bad for her.
"Alright. So, it seems Lori has the highest mana count among you guys. How about we give this healing skill to her?" Luke asked. f reeweb novel.com
"Yeah. Give it to her. I want to become a fighter like you, not a healer." Julia said. Professor Nina also had no objection.
Luke then asked Lori, "Do you want it?"
Lori smiled in response. "If I can be of more use to the group by learning it, I don't mind. Besides, I can still learn 2 more skills after this."
Hearing this, Luke couldn't help but smile wryly. They seemed to treat the healing skill too lightly, even after he told them its significance.
"Alright. Here, learn it." He gave her the skill. Lori immediately learned it and then Julia asked for her to help her with her fever.
Lori nodded and activated the skill. A faint green golden green glow appeared on her palm, which she placed on Julia's forehead. A moment later, she the glow vanished, causing Julia to blink.
"That's it?"
"Yeah. See if you feel better or not?" Lori said she had used 10 mana units, the maximum she could use for now in this activation, but didn't know if it worked or not.
Julia placed a hand on her forehead and noticed the slight fever she had left was gone. She then took deep breaths and could breathe properly.
"It really worked. I feel perfectly fine now." She said,
Lori sighed in relief while Luke said, "Alright, let's go."
"Yes."

While they were walking toward the city wall, killing all the zombies in their way, a man was looking at them as he hid in one of the half-constructed buildings.
"So, you were the culprit behind that massacre." He murmured as an icy glint flashed in his eyes. He glanced in the city wall's direction before rushing out of the building in the direction of the… food factory.
Strangely enough, just like they do to Shadow, the zombies were also ignoring his existence even if ran right past them.
If Shadow saw this guy, he would tell Luke to leave the city quickly and hide or be prepared for a fight to death.
Unfortunately, he didn't see him.
