Chapter 14: "New Skill: Acquired!"
.

I placed my hand on Joy-san's hand and closed my eyes, and started focusing on transferring my Mdana inside her.
Noel was shocked and said, "Hey! How can you already manifest Mana?! That others took an hour to start for them to manifest their mana, but you did it without even trying!?"
"W-What do you mean without even trying? I'm really struggling here, I'm feeling already exhausted, I only applied a little of my Mana on her," I said.
"S-So, what are you doing right now though?"
"I'll tell you later, I have to focus or it will dispel my Mana."
After I said that, I'm already feel like I'm gonna pass out, I yelled out "STATUS," when I looked at it, my MP is already at 250, it's only been 10 minutes, now I have to really focus and hurry at the same time or I will run out of Mana.
I started pouring my Mana into Joy-san in a hurry, but slowly at the same time, I looked at Noel and she looked really concerned, she's really worried about her, now I have to heal her, but I don't mind, because I wanna know my limit.
20 minutes has passed, I looked at my Status again and my MP is at 180 and my nose is started bleeding.
Then Noel said, "Oh no... your nose is bleeding... I think you can stop now!"
She's right, her shaking stopped, so we can just ask the others to heal her, but some reason I feel like if I stop now, something will happen to her, so I can't.
"If I stop now, I'll probably pass out, so I can't," I replied.
"Which is enough reason for you stop now! Your body is still isn't used to manifesting Mana, so transferring it is even more difficult to do, that's why I'm more shocked that you can even transfer your Mana to others, so please...stop," she said while tearing up.
After she said that, I too was thinking that I should stop and just ask the others to heal her, the Mana Transfer is starting to weaken.
As I was about to stop, I sensed something and I smirked and said, "...I'm sorry, I can't stop now."
"But..."
I interrupted her and said, "How can I stop now can I'm this close to healing her."
She was surprised and said, "R-Really?!"
"Yeah, for some reason I felt like I can't put my Mana on her injury, but I still feel it, so if I stop I think it will open her injury, so do you trust me on finishing it?" I asked Noel.
"...*sigh* Ok...I'll trust you, but are you sure your method can heal her?"
"You really need to ask that? Of course it will work, now watch me as I do it."
I started pouring more of my Mana into her and became extra focused, so focused that I can't even hear my surroundings, I checked my Status and my MP is at 110 and my nose kept bleeding more and more, and it made Noel worried.
My head was starting to spin, getting dizzy...
10 minutes have passed, I started coughing out blood and Noel said, "Sie! Are you okay?!"
"I'm alright, something got caught in my throat, so I cough, don't worry," I replied.
I hate to admit it, but I'm already at my limit, I looked at my Status and my MP is already at 80, her injury is almost heal, so just a little more...
I poured a little more, then my vision is starting to become blurry, and my nose bleed is getting worse, but just a little more...
"Sie... Joy..." Noel said looking concerned.
"Don't worry, I'm almost finished, so you ca-"
As I was speaking, blood started coming out of the left side of my eyes, and Noel screamed, "Sie!!"
"I-I'm fine," I am not fine at all, my head feels like there's needles piercing it, but instead of feeling pain, it just feels weird.
Oh god, I'm about to pass out...
I checked my status, and my MP is at 50, but I'm really close to healing her, I gotta pour more!
FOCUS!!

"Haa... Haa... Haa... It's done, she's fully healed now, you can check her if you want," I said, while wheezing.
"O-Ok," Noel replied.
"...! It's true, her injury is completely gone, I don't see bleeding on her ears as well! How did you do that?! Hm? Where are you?" she said.
Then she looked down and saw me on the ground passed out and screamed, "SIE!! Are you okay?! Talk to me!"
Of course I'm not you idiot, is what I want to say, but I can't talk, is this what it feels like when you experience Mana Exhaustion, from novels I read back then, if it is, then it sucks...
I can't keep my consciousness, I have to tell her to get help... But I can't speak...
"G-G-Get..."
"What's that?" Noel asked.
"G-G-Get... H-Help..."
""Get Help"? Alright, you stay there, while I get help, I'll be back."
I'll stay here obviously, I can't even move a muscle... How do you expect me to move here?
*sigh* Well, I can leave the rest to her... I trust her to know what to do... So... hurry... up...
Before losing consciousness I saw a notification from my status that said, "[New Notification: Because you did something very risky, and almost put someone's life at risk, but still saved them, you have received an Achievement and acquired a New Skill: Mana Threads.]"
After I read it, I finally passed out...
.
.
.
I hear voices... who's talking?...
I opened my eyes, the light is kind of blinding me a little bit, so I can't see very clearly yet...
When the light's not blinding anymore, I opened my eyes widely, I sat up and I looked outside, it looks like it's night time, so I've been passed out for 4-5 hours.
I feel something squirming and I looked over and I see Noel sleeping, laying down beside me.
I smile, and I tried to pat her head, but she woke up, "*yawn* Hm?" she looked at and I said, "Y-Yo, good evening, you slept well?"
After I said that, I looked at her and I saw her tearing up, smiled and said, "Yeah... I slept pretty well... You dumbass..."
"Still with insult huh..." I replied.
"Well, you are..." she said while wiping her tears.
"What happened while I was passed out?"
"Well... it's a long story..."
She then told me everything what happened.

4-5 hours ago
Oh, it's a flashback?
"P-Please help us, Sie... I mean Sir. Sie just passed out and he's bleeding, we need a healer please!"
Hey... isn't that too dramatic? I just passed out, well can't blame her I was bleeding from my nose, mouth, and left eye, so I get why she's being dramatic... I appreciate her being worried about me though.
Everyone was shock from what they heard, that they training.
"What?! Where is he?! Take me to him!" the king said.
"This way quick!" Noel replied.
"What's going on? Where is everyone running to?" Shimizu-san questioned while leaving the Library.
One of my classmates said, "Well, apparently one of our classmates passed out and started bleeding, so they asked for the healers and ran to where they are."
"Hmm... is that so? Thanks for the information, here your reward," she said while lifting up her skirt.
"Ohhhh, Your Very Welcome!"
Then Noel took them to Joy-san's room, and they saw me laying there on the ground breathing heavily.
"Healers, will you please," the king asked the healers.
"Yes!"
The healer checked my condition and said, "...Not good, his insides are a mess, and his Mana is depleted, may I asked what happened?" the healer asked Noel.
"W-Well, Joy-san over there was injured, so he tried to heal her."
"What?!" everyone screamed.
"How can that be?! He doesn't have a Healing Skill, how can he possibly be able to heal her?!" the king asked.
"I-I don't know what he did as well, but he said he has a "method" to heal her, so I let him, because he said to trust him..." Noel responded.
"How unusual, a Hero without a healing skill healed her... Ms. Priest, please do whatever you can to heal him, I beg of you." the king requested to the Priest.
"Y-Yes! I will try my best!" Ms. Priest said being excited.
Then the Priest asked someone to carry me and Syouma-san volunteered and carried to the infirmary and laid me on a bed, so the Priest can start the healing.
"I will now start the healing process, so if you would leave the room, because of all your Mana leaking out it might contaminate my Holy Magic, so everyone will you please?" the priest asked everyone.
"I understand, now everyone let's leave the healing to the Priest and we'll have you all escorted to your personal rooms, we'll continue your training tomorrow." the king said.
"Yes~" everyone responded.
Then everyone left the room and have gone to their own rooms.
The only one who stayed was Noel.
"Hm? What wrong Noel? You're not coming?" asked by another maid.
"Huh? Y-Yeah, I'll stay here and wait until the Priest is done healing him." Noel responded.
"Hmm... Don't tell me... You're interested in him~?"
"H-Huh?! What are you talking about?! It's not like that! It's just because he saved Joy, so I wanted to thank him for saving her..."
"Oh~ is that so~? Alright then, if you say so~ Thank him for me as well~ so then, see you later~"
"Jeez... she always like that... it's not like that anyway...*////*"

2 hours later
After the Priest was done healing me, the Priest went out of the room and saw Noel sleeping beside the door and asked her, "W-What are you doing sleeping there?"
"Huh?" Her voice woke her up and said, "...! What about him is he okay?"
"What?? ...Oh you mean him, yes he's alright, but he needs to get some rest, because he experienced, Mana Exhaustion, I believe it was when he was trying to save the Librarian, right?" the priest asked.
"Ah,, yes, is she okay too?"
"We took her as well to check her injury, but when we looked at it, her injury was nowhere to be found, all we saw Mana blocking her injury, I don't know how, but that boy did something that not even the Top Mages have figured out."
"Oh... is that so?"
"But anyway, do you want to sleep in here and watch over him?" the priest asked
"Huh? is that ok?" Noel responded.
"Yes, it's totally fine, besides, I'm getting a feeling that you want to look after him, so I'm giving you an exception~"
"H-Huh?! It's nothing like that I swear!"
"I know, anyways good night then," the priest said.
"O-Oh, good night to you as well," Noel responded.
After the priest left, Noel entered the infirmary and sat right beside me, touched my hand, while tearing up, "Thank you...very much..."
Then she fell asleep.

Present
"Aww~ I didn't know you cared so much, I appreciate it~"
"Like I said it's not like that!!" she said as she punched my stomach.
"Jeez, I shouldn't have looked after you, if I known you were going to tease me for it..."
"Anyway, I'm grateful... Thanks for looking after me," I said and smiled.
"Y-Yeah, don't mention it, then since you're awake, I'm gonna go to bed, alright Good night~ *//*" Noel said.
"Oh yeah, Good night~" I responded.
She left...
"Now, then time to figure out what this is... what is this Notification...?"

[New Notification: Because you did something very risky, and almost put someone's life at risk, but still saved them, you have received an Achievement and acquired a New Skill: Mana Threads.]
