The next day, after saying goodbye to Noah, Claire, Linse, Fianna, and Alice left Areishia Spirit Academy and set off to meet their parents.
The remaining Noah took his application for leave and a basket of fruit, headed straight to the infirmary at Areishia Spirit Academy, opened the door, and walked inside.
Grayvas was still lying in yesterday's hospital bed, but her complexion was no longer as pale as it had been yesterday. Instead, it had a healthy flush, making her look as imposing as ever.
The restorative medicine Noah had made Grayvas drink yesterday had begun to take effect.
Though it had not been able to heal the meridians that had completely collapsed from years of corrosion by the Cursed Gear Crest, the medicine Noah had given her was more than effective when it came to restoring her body.
Now, Grayvas looked like someone who had not lost her abilities as an Elf User at all.
At least, no one could tell just by looking at her.
Apparently noticing Noah's arrival, Grayvas, who seemed to have been resting with her eyes closed, opened them and looked in his direction.
"Oh? Don't tell me you've come to see a doctor?"
"It'd be better if you were merely sick." Noah walked straight to Grayvas's bedside, set the fruit basket on a nearby table, and glanced around the room.
"By the way, now that you're no longer the continent's strongest Elf User, don't you need guards assigned to you?"
Thanks to her exploits in the Spirit
