Magic-user

That evening.

Athena headed outside after she noticed everyone has drifted to sleep. As she wandered around the house, she examined the land.

... Didn't expect the land to be this bad. Better test what I've learned from all those reading and secret practice.

Since the day Athena's parents stopped her lesson, she focused on understanding all type of magic in the world. She found out that being an Elementalist is a gifted trait everyone has but one can lose it once they focus on other magic.

Athena went around the house and looked for a hoe and rake as she started cleaning a small portion of the land.

"Darn it, this body is so weak. I can't believe I'm this exhausted already after a few minutes' works." Athena grunt as she continued to push herself to finish her task.

It didn't take long for the girl to give up on clearing the land she hopes for and settles for what she could do.

"This will do for now then," she said as she steps in the middle of it.

As she focuses herself, it was the first time the girl would attempt to cast magic. As she softly whispered the enchantment for the wind to carry along, it was an enchantment to call upon the spirit of the land. Since the spirit is the reason, why land is so useful since they will grand blessing and nurture the land for a fruitful harvest.

Athena soon felt her body aching and burning in the inside as it reaches its limit. She notices a spike of light approaching her which could only mean one thing;

"Spirit."

The girl could not hold on any longer as she collapses on the ground. But she saw the spirit still floating in the area above. As the spirit disappeared, Athena smiled seeing how the land has changed.

She quickly grabs the hoe and checks if she can finally plow the ground when she saw the hoe could dig through the land, she smiled from ear to ear in delight that her effort works. As the girl continued to plow the remaining land, she then grabs the bag of seed she brought with her.

"I better plant some tomatoes and herbs for now. At least it won't take long for them to grow," she said whilst she layered the ground and label what seeds she has planted.

After Athena finished working, she sat by the old tree and felt something strange about it. She reached out to one of its lower branched and broke it. It surprised her to see the tree seems to be alive.

... Did I by change restore the tree to life as well? Does that mean my magic can restore those that were dead already?

As the girl continued to ponder on things, she notices the blister in her hands. It was not long for the girl to fall asleep from the exhaustion.

Early the next day, Diana woke up and panic seeing Athena was no longer in the room.

... Ah, my head hurts. Why is Diana screaming so early in the morning? A-ah, my body hurts

*as well**.*

For the first time, it did not only do Athena new body experience manual labor but she as well. Since back in her world, she never has done such work like washing her clothes or even cleaning her own room.

When the girl opened her eyes, she saw the woman standing in front of her all frozen with a pale expression.

"Diana what's wrong?" she asked

"Did you do this?" Diana pointed at the ground

It surprises Athena to see the seeds she planted already sprouted.

*... Wow, magic is amazing. To think it only took a few hours for the seed to sprout already. I can now understand why everyone respects my mother so well and why she* *was needed* *so badly.*

This was the first time Athena actually successful used magic since she couldn't practice back in the Empire. She notices since she awakens her body seems to be flowing with some sort of energy which is why she started studying magic to understand it better.

"Athena, are you an Elementalist?" she said

"Diana, I told you just call me Tina," she replied ignoring the girl's question.

Diana sense the Athena doesn't seem to want anyone to know about her past life and her ability to use such magic, "Anyway, Fuji is awake as well, I'll go get ready and prepare us some food."

"By the way, Diana do you know any capable fighter in the village?" she asked

"There is one but..." Diana expression drastically changes thinking about that person, "I can take you to him instead than telling you."

"Where is he?" she asked

"He's staying in the church," she replied

After they had breakfast, Diana took Athena to the church. On their way, Athena was shocked to see how horrible the village situation was. Since it was last already when she arrived she was unable to see everything. Diana introduced Athena to the priest and nuns in charge of the church.

"Serfred has been cope in his room since the war. He has not stepped foot outside the chapel since he does not wish for anyone to see him and feel sorry for him."Father Roland explained

"Father Roland, can you please allow me to see him," Athena asked

Father Roland was hesitant to let Athena meet the man but since Diana was showing such expression on her face. He had no choice but to let the girl meet the man.

"Serfred, you have some visitors." Father Roland said

"Diana you're here..." The man said despite his vision wasn't that good. "Who's the person with you?"

"She new to the village her name is Tina," she answered

"Tina, nice to meet you, my name is Serfred," he said as he continued to focus and observe the girl noticing something odd about her. When he realized who she was, he notices the girl smiling at him telling him not to say a word.

*..**.**Why is the daughter of House Adolphus doing in the North?*

"Tina may I know why you're here?" he asked

"To help you..." she smiled

"Me?"

She then seated on the man bedside edge, as she then scans how badly wounded the man was. She clasps her hand together as she then places it on the man broken limb. Sparkling lights soon appeared as the girl entire body was being surrounded by a white flaming aura.

"A healer, and which such strong aura. I have studied magic to become a strong healer but this little girl magic is far superior to mine. Diana, where did you say she from."Father Roland said

Diana was completely speechless of what she was seeing, for she thought Athena was an Elementalist.

*..**.**I swear Athena was the one who restored the land at the back. How is she able to heal*

*Serfred**.*

Diana continued to ponder on things. From what she knows it is impossible for Athena to be an Elementalist if she is able to use healing magic.

There are different types of magic-user: an Elementalist, Healer, Mage, Magic Fighter, and lastly an Alchemist.

Elementalist, they have the ability to restore the land. Help the crop grow and bear fruit at the same time heal sick animals. Which is what Athena is for she was able to

restore the land.

Healer, there are two types of healers the Divine Healer and Ordinaire Healer. Ordinaire Healer can restore any wounds but cannot restore broken parts, unlike Divine Healer.

Mage is a magic-user who focuses on creating different types of spell and enchantment. Depending on the mage rank they can use different elements. Magus being able to use one element, Enchanter two to three elements, and Arch-Mage able to use all elements.

Magic Fighter, depending on what type of fighter they are. They aren't ordinary fighter since they can use magic like a Mage which allow them to enhance their ability in fighting.

Lastly, Alchemist is both a healer and mage but what makes them rare is their ability to create a potion and enhance the weapon.

It didn't take long for the miracle to happen right in front of them.

As the girl faint due to exhaustion, the man caught him in his arms as he embraces the girl.

"My lady, thank you..." he whispered

"Your welcome." she softly replied

She then pulls herself together as she touched the man’s face, “I might not be able to heal your eyes today.”

“You have done enough, thank you.”

*..**.**The heavens have not forsaken us.* *A Saintess has been sent* *to help us.*

Of course, Father Roland knew Athena was not a Saintess but her kindness just fit to what a Saintess is all about.
