Chapter 385 127 - Waking up and facing the new reality (part 3)  Although his mother was a magician, Zoemi himself was born without the mana reservoir – still, he had the affinity to mana - and that is why it was possible for him to experience an awakening.

It was already theorized that mana has its own will, and truth be told, Zoemi's case could be used as an argument supporting that claim.

The thing was, once mana that got unleashed during the first prince Horeo awakening came in contact with Zoemi and sensed the boy's affinity, it ended up CREATING a mana reservoir inside of him just so it could settle in.

It was a very painful experience that the black-haired boy clearly remembered as his insides getting forcefully spread apart to create a space for a brand new organ.

This wasn't completely accurate – but also it wasn't something that anyone else besides him went through, so he didn't really have anyone to compare his experience with.

Even so, since that, let's call it – spiritual organ – wasn't an actual living tissue, the pain that it caused was very distinct, so to say.

The boy's body was healthy – he knew that, but regardless of that knowledge the pain that he felt was real for his brain - the best comparison would be a phantom pain after losing a limb, but in this case, it would be for the organ he gained...

There was nothing wrong with the boy's body, but the pain he felt in his mind was real enough to fold him like a paperclip.

...and that exact pain that no known healing spell could affect kept assaulting Zoemi's abdomen at the moment...

Even so, the black-haired boy kept using the healing spells on himself and they all not only kept on proving themselves useless but straight up worsened the pain.

The healing spells could affect only what was physical, they could not and did not influence how the brain of a person worked.

"...what you are saying, is that that technique... those whole laws of whatever, did that to me...?"

Zoemi muttered, trying to calm his breath – even though he stopped trying to do other spells the pain did not go away, and instead, the black-haired boy could feel some unknown force tearing him apart from the inside

"(That is correct, master. If there is another explanation, the only person who knows about it is the white-haired man that did that to you – but he disappeared after killing Evorietto.)"

Another one of his sentinels responded in a worried voice.

Zoemi wanted to say that if they all really didn't turn on him, they weren't doing a good job, mostly ignoring his wishes, but held himself back. In the end, it was his own fault for creating them with a partial conscience – he was aware that them developing it further was only a matter of time, but didn't think about the consequences then – and now he had to face them.

"(Master- it's me again. Evorietto actually trapped the white-haired for a moment, but then got erased by the law of Aquarius. The Ghosts could not understand what exactly happened and panicked. That's all.)"

"...didn't you say that you would not contact me again..?"

Surprisingly, the sentinel who was keeping an eye on the Ghosts of Bellcephora chimed in and explained – cutting itself off right after saying whatever it wanted, so it did not hear Zoemi's angry comment.

"...khhh..."

Zoemi scoffed in pain at the guts his own summon-type spells gained.

"(Master, we are all glad that you are back with us again, but we don't have time to chat.)"

"(Yes, she's right – We'll be late for the next...)"

"(Shush! Master, we'll see you around.)"

The sentinels with the physical bodies all decided to use the chance that their master was distracted, and cut off their connections too.

Zoemi would very much prefer for them to stay and explain exactly what they meant, but doing so by force wasn't an option since even attempting to use a spell would cause his mana to move around and that would in turn make the pain he felt even worse.

Not to mention, that something else got his attention in a timely manner...

*click*

"...and then he just woke up like it was nothing – see for yourself, uncle... ZOEMI?"

Unknowingly tagging in with the leaving sentinels, Burushi opened the door while talking to the dark-blue-haired Benevirau following her – but then shouted in a panic once she saw Zoemi curled up on the edge of the bed and rushed towards him.

"Zoemi, what happened?! Private visit!"

The blond-haired girl was by his side the next moment and asked, already using the strongest version of her spell in order to find out the problem.

"GHHHHHHRRRRGHHH...!"

"...?!"

But shockingly, the moment she did that, Zoemi's mana got stirred up by her mana entering his body, adding to the boy's suffering, and causing Burushi to take back her hands in shock as the boy whizz through his teeth and rolled on his side.

"...no... no spells, please... I already tried healing myself and... this is where it got me..."

Zoemi breathed out and shook his head keeping his eyes closed.

"...I reckon... you don't know how to heal... a broken mana reservoir... do you...?"

The black-haired boy peeked at the heroine and forced himself to smile although it only came out as a pained grimace.

"Broken... mana reservoir...?! What in the world are you talking about?! Mana reservoir is not an actual physical thing you know? How would you even break it?!"

"I... see... So that's a no."

Burushi's utterly confused face was enough for an answer, and Zoemi didn't even really need to hear her response as he nodded, trying to withstand the agony.

"...Zoemi...? Is that why your mana has been so unstable this whole time...?"

"...!"

The young-looking misty-gray-eyed butler stepped into the room – although he could not see exactly what was happening stepped in and asked in a horrified voice, causing the blond heroine to flinch.

"So... so it seems..."

Zoemi groaned and fell on his side while clenching his stomach.

He didn't get knocked out – although that would be actually welcomed in this situation – he merely lost his strength as the numbness in his limbs has overpowered his will.

"..."

Benevirau closed his mouth while making a miserable expression.

He was literally seeing by sensing mana – of course, that he of all people knew that there was something wrong with Zoemi's mana, but he always thought that it was due to the boy's injury, or the unknown energy that Burushi kept bringing in whenever talking about the difficulties with healing the black-haired boy.

Because of that, despite Burushi's opinion on the subject, he immediately believed Zoemi's words.

It just... made sense.

"Geez... we will talk about the mana reservoirs later, alright? First of all... even though your results come completely fine... should I use the painkiller spell...?"

The blond heroine sighed and shook her head dismissively before making a worried expression and asking the suffering boy.

"N-no... Even the spell that merely checked my health... made it so much worse... How about we will not try anything that actually changes something...?"

But to her surprise, the boy rejected the idea immediately.

"Young ma... Zoemi... can I do something to help...?"

Benevirau took a step forward and asked in a powerless voice, deeply concerned about the boy's health.

"...ice... I would appreciate an ice pack... please..."

Zoemi groaned, stuffing his face into the mattress so that the other two would not see that he was in so much pain that tears started running down his face.
