Chapter 151: Leaving The Sealand Academy

Princess Qamari swiftly walked through the First Division Hall. Though she'd been gone for six months from the academy, she didn't feel any sense of nostalgia or strangeness on being back. 

"Perhaps, I never considered it home..." She listlessly sighed.

Ever since her parents disappeared, she'd never considered any place as home, and only treated every place she went as temporary lodging. Not that she didn't want to, but the absence of her loved ones made it hard to settle down and consider anywhere they weren't present as home.

She arrived before the Medical Hall and passed the treatment halls to her master's work cabin.

The Headmaster said she wasn't feeling well, but Princess Qamari knew that her Master couldn't stay away from her herbs.

And just as she expected, Elder Wen Wan stood before a pile of strange-looking plants that released intermittent bursts of green flame.

"Master, is that a Vitality Restoring Herb?" She'd only been gone for 6 months, when did they get ahold of Vitality Restoring Herb?

Master Wen Wan froze, her hands trembling as she blinked her eyes and slowly lifted her head.

"Q...Qamari...?" The heavens! Was her illness worsening? She was actually dreaming of Princess Qamari while awake!

The Medical Director was shaken senseless. She couldn't believe her eyes nor her ears and just stood dazedly staring at the purple-red clad girl as if she were a ghost.

"Master?" Too late, Princess Qamari realized what her sudden appearance might be like to her Master who was already sick and depressed from the pain of her loss.

She tentatively stepped forward, not wanting to startle the other, before arriving by her side. All the while, Elder Wen Wan kept her sight fixed on her figure, following the girl with her eyes.

Princess Qamari felt her throat become sore and without hesitation, engulfed the elder woman in a tight hug. "Master, I'm sorry for worrying you."

She had left even after her Master's multiple attempts to stop her. When she heard of the news of her disappearance, she could only imagine how the elder woman must've felt.

Still dazed and finding the illusion surreal, Elder Wen Wan inadvertently trembled when she heard Princess Qamari's words. She rapidly blinked her eyes, expecting the illusion to vanish in the next heartbeat. 

But nothing of the sort happened. "Qamari...?" The warm hug and gentle words crashed into her like a giant hammer and caused her stiff body to tremble even fiercer.

"Yes, Master. I'm back. Sorry for worrying you." There was nothing she could do about the pain and suffering she'd unintentionally caused the Elder. But Princess Qamari wanted her Master to be well and free from illness of all kinds.

She sought out her light energy and directed it to her hand, and skillfully channeled the magic into her Master's body. 

Elder Wen Wan just felt a stream of warm current flush throughout her body, but she was too agitated by her student's return to pay any heed to the foreign energy.

"Qamari, Qamari, you're back! You're really back?" She was caught between tears and laughter, her pent-up grief and loss clashing with the relief and comfort of Princess Qamari's return.

"I'm back, Master. Sorry to worry you."

"Haha...no problem! You don't need to be sorry at all. It's not like you wanted to disappear either. But what happened? Why did you go missing? Do you know everyone thought you were dead because you didn't show up after the six-month period?"

"I know, Master. But you should calm down. I'll tell you everything."

A while later, Elder Wen Wan came out of her personal work cabin with Princess Qamari trailing behind. 

"You really want to leave the academy? Can't you stay for a few more months?" Elder Wen had only reunited with her apprentice. She was reluctant to let her go.

"I have already been gone for over 12 months. In this year of disappearance, I don't know what sort of changes must've occurred back home. No one knows where I am or what condition I'm in. Returning is a must!" Princess Qamari's gaze was firm, broking no room for persuasion.

"Alright. If you must go, then go. But don't forget your Master. The Sealand Academy will always be open for you."

"Thank you, Master." Princess Qamari gently said.

She knew how difficult it was for the Elder to say such words. If it were up to her, the princess was certain the elder would never let her leave her sight. But as matters stood, the matter was out of her hands and there was nothing she could do to keep her student by her side.

'Good thing I only skimmed over the events in the Northwest. Otherwise, Master might just tag along...'

"Sister...Sister Qamari...?" Right at this time, a dazed Lu Yei entered the Medical Hall.

Seeing her Master and Sister Lu Yei together, the purple-haired girl froze like a statue.

"Am I seeing things? Why is sister Qamari...standing before me?" She dazedly whispered.

Elder Wen had been in Lu Yei's place when she first saw Princess Qamari as well. So the moment the girl went into a daze, she chuckled mirthfully. "Haha...Lu Yei, you're not seeing things. This is really your Sister Qamari. She's safe and sound."

"Master, is it really Sister Qamari?" She disbelievingly asked.

"Would Master lie to you?"

Huuu!

Stunned speechless, the girl blinked and tears streamed down her face.

"Sister Qamari! Where did you go." Lu Yei lunged into Princess Qamari's arms, wailing at the top of her lungs as if her long-lost lover had returned.

Lu Yei liked Princess Qamari but found the girl's attitude a bit standoffish. So even though she liked her, there was also a smudge of distaste.

When she saw the girl hounded by handsome men, giving her gifts and wanting to accompany her on missions to protect her, she felt jealous.

But the jealousy was that of an ordinary girl disliking another girl for getting all the attention. At the end of the day, the incident would escape her mind.

So while she wasn't a total fan of Princess Qamari, she still liked her because of her master and the girl's own personal majestic aura. The news of her death stunned her and left her wandering around in a daze. 

Even though she wasn't a total fan, Princess Qamari was the sister figure in her life. She disliked and detested, but never wanted her dead.

Princess Qamari wasn't used to the physical display of affections. Her master was like an elder to her, so she didn't mind hugging her. But Lu Yei...

Sighing resignedly, she patted the girl on the back and looked to her Master for help.

Elder Wen knew her disciple's personality well. She immediately stepped forward and disengaged the two.

"Enough with the hugs and all. Qamari, you said you wanted to see Rong Li. You aren't the social type, so you're probably not going to ask after his health. Did you perhaps find Instant Restoration Limb Fruit and other restorative herbs?"

"Heh...Master knows me the best." Truly. She'd only said she wanted to see Rong Li, and her Master already knew why she wanted to meet him.

"Of course! If not me, then who'll know you best." With a proud expression on her face, Elder Wen raised her head and confidently walked out of the Medical hall.

Lu Yei and Princess Qamari exchanged a glance and followed.

In the Medical Hall of the Second Division, Princess Qamari and Lu Yei entered the patient room behind Elder Wen.

"Rong Li, you're a lucky kid. My apprentice went on a mission for the first time and happened to find the Instant Restoration Limb Fruit and other necessary herbs for your full recovery." She declared with a proud expression.

"Instant Restoration Limb Fruit? Other restorative herbs? Elder Wen, are you saying your apprentice has the herbs for Rong Li's full recovery?" Kula Moor excitedly rose to his feet, his flushed face and glowing eyes making him appear 10 years younger.

His disciple's damaged limbs and elemental level seeped his energy and filled him with restless nights of worry. If he only had the Instant Restoration Limb Fruit and restorative herbs, he wouldn't have to suffer so much.

Unfortunately, it wasn't easy to acquire such herbs, and the more valuable they were, the more difficult it was to obtain them.

As such, left with no chance, the old man sold off his only elemental storage space to acquire a damaged herb he came across in an auction. The herb was on the lowest rung of restorative herbs, but since it was the only one available at that time, many other magicians had an interest in it as well.

This rose the price to twice the price of the greatest magical weapon.

Unfortunately, as the lowest of the low, its effect was limited and minuscule. There wasn't much improvement in Rong Li's condition. 

It was then that Kula Moor realized the significance of restorative herbs, and the value of those able to acquire them. But the girl in the Sealand Academy that had the ability to acquire such herbs was only Level 1 Elemental Drawing Stage...

Even if he wanted to be unreasonable and shameless, no one in the academy would support him, leaving him helpless and hopeless.

In the moment of his greatest despair, the girl that was too young to leave the academy appeared like sage and returned with the very same restorative herbs he was madly searching for.

If he claimed not to be overwhelmed with happiness...he'd be lying.

"Quick, quick. Elder Wen, heal Rong Li quickly!" Kula Moor made way for the Medicine Director, anxious to get started on the treatment.

"Hmph! Truly ungrateful! My apprentice brought the herbs for your disciple and you didn't even thank her. Such a thankless individual, do we even want to help?" Wen Wan disgruntled folded her arms and stared down at the elder.

Elder Kula Moor flushed at the jab and embarrassedly scratched his head.

"Ah...Elder Wen, don't say that. I'm just anxious to see my disciple recover. I didn't mean to seem thankless. Here, I'll thank you and your disciple right now." Clasping his fists the elder sincerely bowed to the student and Master.

Wen Wan snorted disdainfully and turned her back on the awkward elder. She looked at her apprentice and Princess Qamari immediately withdrew the needed herbs from her waist pouch and handed it to her.

"Thank you, Qamari." The elder sat beside the bed. The young man was still in a coma, only waking occasionally. But aside from a vague paleness, there wasn't any other visible ailment to give his condition away.

Elder Wen immediately began the treatment. With precise control, she extracted the healing properties in the herbs and infused her elemental fire magic to process the fusion of herbs.

Within thirty breaths of time, a tiny green pill appeared and Elder Wen delivered it to the unconscious Rong Li.

Princess Qamari sighed a breath of relief. She was glad she could assist a fellow magician before her departure from the academy. 

After today, she might never return again...

"Master, I need to see the Great Magician."

"Hmm. Go ahead. I'll monitor the kid's condition for a bit longer before finding you." The elder was focused on the patient before him and only waved a hand.

Princess Qamari smiled, not minding her Master's behavior. A healer's greatest responsibility was their patient. If they allowed themselves to get distracted in the middle of treatment, the one to suffer the most would be the patient.

With gentle and firm steps, she headed to the Main Hall.

A few moments later, Princess Qamari stood beside a portal with Bai Lan beside her and the elders of the academy before her.

"Qamari, take care of yourself and don't forget your Master." Elder Wen tearfully wiped her tears and turned away. The last time she failed to see her apprentice off. The result was almost a lifetime of separation.

This time she came, the result was a painful heart. 

Elder Wen decided that she hated separations!

"Sister Qamari, I want to go with you. But I'm still a first-year and can't leave the academy before graduation..." Lu Yei was despondent. Sister Qamari had just returned and she was leaving already.

After this, when will she see her again? 

Her head slumped to her chest as her eyes filled with tears. She didn't want anyone to see her tears!

"Princess Qamari, your journey back to the Amayan Empire will not be as easy as when you left. Be careful and always remain cautious. Never let your guard down, because being safe is better than sorry." The voice of the Great Magician Iiam appeared in her head and Princess Qamari surprised, looked at the Main Hall with wide eyes.

That was unexpected...

"Thank you, everyone, for seeing me off. It's getting late. We'll take our leave." With a nod of her head, Princess Qamari turned.

With Bai Lan walking behind her, the two's figures disappeared in the shower of brilliant light.

It was time to go home.
