Without the assimilation and interference of the chaotic Spiritual Power, Pekala's mental state immediately began to recover.
With the treatment from the two of them and her own Amulet, the Girl opened her eyes, her face pale.
"Anvis, Sister Claire, I... Urgh—"
As she hazily looked at the two before her, Pekala instinctively tried to recall what had happened earlier.
But as those memories surfaced, a violent stabbing pain exploded in the Girl's mind.
As if struck by lightning, Pekala clutched her head in agony. Her eyes squeezed shut, her fair little face twisted with pain, and cold sweat poured from her body.
"You've been harmed by foreign Spiritual Power. Don't use your Spiritual Power for the time being, and don't deliberately try to remember."
Claire lightly waved her hand and cast a Second Rank pain suppression spell.
A faint ripple of Mana washed over the Girl, temporarily easing her suffering.
Since Pekala was injured, the three simply divided up the items in the Secret Chamber before returning the way they had come.
At Anvis's suggestion, the Abnormal Element left behind by the Stone Tablet, in the form of black sand grains, was divided evenly into three portions, with each person taking one.
Pekala had not wanted any at first, but under Anvis and Claire's insistence, she ultimately accepted the arrangement.
"What did you find?"
After examining Pekala's injuries in the plaza, Nancy turned to look at Anvis and Claire. Beneath her glowing lenses, her deep black eyes regarded them with slight confusion.
The two exchanged a glance. Considering that she was the senior student, Claire took the initiative to explain the entire sequence of events to Instructor Nancy.
Afterward, she also took out some of the sand formed from the Stone Tablet and handed it to Nancy for inspection.
