Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 952 Pets and Medicine



Chapter 952 Pets and Medicine

Following the beautiful blonde woman in the blue dress, Vicente didn’t have time to ask questions when she started talking.

“You’ve never studied medicine, right? Your medical skills come from two of your pentagrams, right? It’s good that you have natural abilities that will help you in the profession. But don’t get carried away. You need in-depth theoretical knowledge to practice your profession.”

Vicente experienced a strong sense of déjà vu as he recalled spending the past two days getting acquainted with his mandatory tasks.

“So I’ll have to concentrate on learning the theory…” He muttered when he realized she was going to get to that point.

“Of course. But I’m curious to see your skills in action. Before I give you your study program, I want to see what you can do on our guinea pigs.” She smiled as she entered a wing of the grandiose Medicine Center, which didn’t resemble a large medical study and treatment area, but rather a zoo.

Vicente had yet to see beasts and other magical creatures native to Anicane, so he looked around curiously, seeing several small artificial habitats and creatures of different breeds waiting for treatment.

Prisiche explained to him. “The Medicine Center doesn’t allow testing on the sick and injured people who come to us because they can’t hire the services of Healers.

But here we also have the mounts and pets of our inhabitants. We use them as guinea pigs for novices to study and learn their medical skills.”

Vicente frowned. “That’s a strange ethic. Protecting humanoid beings and using beasts as guinea pigs. What’s the point of using one and not the other?”

The blonde woman laughed. “Beasts and human races are quite different, kid. Because of their physical characteristics, which are stronger in beasts than in humans, they are more resistant and recover much more easily than humans.

Mistakes in them cause fewer consequences than in humans. Also, dealing with consequences in them is easier than in humans.

And at the end of the day, not every master can afford to treat their mounts’ or pets’ injuries. So it’s well worth accepting our terms.”

“I see… Are there no Tamers in Anicane?”

Prisiche replied to his master. “There are, but they’re not as common as in Polaris Realm, master. Most of the beasts in the Medicine Center are pets. In Anicane, the idea of having a beast as a member of your home and family is much more common than it is on your plane. And with pets, Tamers are unnecessary.”

In Polaris Realm, Tamers not only took care of raising, training and feeding beasts, they were also primarily responsible for treating illnesses and healing wounds.

But in Anicane, Healers did all the treating of illnesses and injuries.

When the woman called Alice, a 5-Star Magus, stopped in front of a grassy, fenced-off area, Vicente spotted what looked like a giant rabbit.

He had never seen rabbits in Polaris Realm, so he couldn’t help but understand why pets were more common in Anicane than on the plane he had come from.

‘It seems that the beasts here are more docile in appearance, despite their immense size.’ He looked at the creature that could easily occupy a small living room in a human house.

This white-furred creature was so big that it could sit on a four-seater sofa and it would disappear beneath its fur!

The creature’s big red eyes were the only part of its body that looked scary. Otherwise, everything about it seemed harmless, from its little tail to its big ears.

“This Demon Rabbit has some fractures, internal injuries and, as you can see, has lost part of its left ear. A wild beast attacked it after a breach in the security mechanisms of its family’s property.

Anyway, heal it with your skills. I want to see how far you can go without medical knowledge.”

Vicente watched the big rabbit in silence, signaling to the creature that he would help it.

Then, under the observant gaze of Prisiche and Alice, he made two cyan pentagrams appear from his body, moving the mana at his disposal through his gem, feeling for the first time the difference of doing this after arriving in Anicane.

For a moment, Vicente closed his eyes, feeling entirely different, as if he were a totally new person.

The shell of mana enveloping him broke, and he felt his surroundings more deeply. As he looked at the ‘bunny’ in front of him, he felt the creature’s heart as if it were in his hands.

With a glance, the creature realized what Vicente was doing and promptly lowered its head when it saw one of Vice’s hands advancing.

The creature’s blood moved faster, with mana entering its body while magically, its severed ear regenerated at a frightening speed.

In just five seconds, 80% of the white rabbit’s internal wounds had recovered, while the creature’s vitality had improved, visible in its eyes, which now bore no pain.

When the ear finished regenerating, fur grew on it, making it look identical to the uninjured ear.

Alice narrowed her eyes when she saw this, impressed by such a good ability coming from a lower plane.

Meanwhile, Prisiche couldn’t help but be thrilled to see her master’s powers in action for the first time.

Vicente smiled at the sight of the creature while massaging its enormous head. It was funny how such a gigantic creature could become so gentle with a mere touch.

‘Your fur is really soft… And warm.’ Vicente felt his eyes closing as a feeling of tranquility washed over his body.

But suddenly, his heart beat differently and he opened his eyes as he retracted his hands.

“That?”

“That’s one of this rabbit’s powers, master. Creatures like it always have special abilities. In its case, it can influence the mind and body and take all the stress off your ‘shoulders’.

Some pets like it are used to support their families. If you let yourself be carried away by its power, you would probably sleep for the next few hours in its fur.

This sleep would probably help give you more strength for an important training session or, if you were recovering from a battle, speed up your recovery factor… In short, the applications are many.” Prisiche explained to him while Alice wrote something down on a tablet.

“Oh? Impressive. I’ve never heard of any creature like that in Polaris Realm.” Vicente was sincere, understanding a little more about the difference between having pets in Anicane and his place.

Alice then cut through Vicente’s thoughts. “Very well. I already have a good idea of how your abilities work. You’re quite privileged, I must say. It’s not for nothing that a total amateur was appointed to learn under my supervision.”

He didn’t know whether to take this comment positively. But Vice smiled all the same as he went back to massaging the big rabbit, this time protecting his hand so as not to be carried away by the effects of the creature’s power.

“Your ability only seems to activate a self-healing factor in your targets, which means you have no control over how the recovery takes place. It depends only on your target’s body, so mutations and other problems can happen because of your lack of control with the ability.” She coldly analyzed what she had seen.

“Your efficiency with this guinea pig was very good, but in a more complex organism, it would have been different. You could have created bigger problems for them, but also a temporary solution at best. You must follow my training program if you want to avoid these problems and become a true Healer.”

She handed Prisiche a token, which the artificial intelligence quickly absorbed.

Meanwhile, Vicente couldn’t help but express his concern in his pale face. “Are you saying that those I’ve healed in the past can go back to the way things were?”

“It’s possible.” She looked into his eyes, wondering what that meant. “But it’s unlikely. Lower planes are much simpler than Anicane. There’s so much mana here that certain mutations that would have a 0.01% chance of happening on your plane can happen here with a chance of over 40%.

Were the people you helped stronger or weaker than you?” She asked, to ease the doubt in his heart.

“Weaker.”

“Then you don’t need to worry. The mutations I worry about rarely happen in beings much weaker than the Healer. Also, on lower planes, these mutations would appear almost instantly and you would know about them. Nor do the effects usually wear off in brief intervals when the patients are much weaker than the Healer.

In any case, take this into consideration from now on. I know you can change your situation using that atomic manipulation skill you have, but it’s best to avoid using it until you’ve mastered in-depth medical knowledge.

Now, concentrate on this for the next few weeks. Your artificial intelligence will guide you to me if necessary or when you’ve finished learning this initial program.

Do you have questions?” She looked at him seriously.

After seeing him nod negatively, she said, “Good,” and left, telling Prisiche to take him to the medical books wing of the Center.
