Witch Training Manual: My Water Magic Is Wrong

The two of them looked at each other.

No one has taken the first step.

I was just too nervous.

And it's so weird.

Wayne was already seated at the table, quill in hand, scribbling on a piece of parchment. He looked up and saw the two men still standing in the doorway; his pen paused.

"Come in."

Emily moved her foot forward half an inch, then pulled it back.

"Um... Mr. Wayne..."

"Um?"

"When you said 'together,' you meant...?"

"Treat them together," Wayne said calmly. "You two together, I'll see them together. It'll save time."

Emily's ears turned red.

Tilulu's ears turned red too.

The same thought flashed through their minds simultaneously: Look together? Look at what? How? Both of us at the same time? Here? Did Mr. Wayne do this for people before?

Wayne put down his quill.

"What are you thinking?"

"N-No!"

The two spoke in unison.

Then the two of them went inside at the same time.

Wayne looked at them for a couple of breaths.

"Show me your flower petals."

Both of their minds were in an uproar at the same time.

What?

Is Mr. Wayne joking?

Emily: Look, look at what? Mr. Wayne wants to see? Don't you recognize it? Here? Now? And Tilulu is right next to us? Although we're close friends, this...this...this...isn't this a bit too bold?

Tilulu: Although I'm here to apologize and atone, isn't this moving a bit too fast? I'm not ready. No, I'm ready. No, no, I'm not ready. Emily's right here, this is so embarrassing. But Mr. Wayne is really handsome…

The expressions on their faces changed constantly, it was absolutely fascinating.

Wayne looked at the two of them.

There was a brief silence.

He instantly realized they had misunderstood.

"I'm talking about cursed petals. The marks left on the skin by a witch's curse. No..."

The air freezes.

Their minds were put on pause.

Then the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Why am I still a little disappointed?

The two turned their heads at the same time, and their eyes met.

Then they were moved away at the same time.

Wayne didn't urge him.

He simply watched the two of them quietly.

Emily made the first move.

She took a deep breath and lifted her shirt up a bit.

The belly is exposed.

On her fair skin, a red petal mark was embedded below her navel, the lines of which were clear, like a half-open flower.

"This is... how it looks after the last treatment. I don't know why, but it seems like the curse has gotten stronger."

Tilulu bit her lip.

The curse mark on her side waist was also revealed.

The mark on her side, like Emily's, had darkened in color, changing from pink after the last treatment to light red.

Wayne leaned over to examine the two marks and then analyzed them.

"The color is indeed a bit darker than before."

Emily's drooping eyelashes trembled.

"Um."

"After the last treatment, did you feel anything unusual or uncomfortable?"

They both shook their heads.

Wayne sat back down and began taking notes diligently.

"It seems the witch's curse healing isn't a one-time thing."

Emily turned her head and glanced at him.

"Won't that solve the problem once and for all?"

"It seems not for now," Wayne said, putting down his pen. "The source of the curse within you is still there. My magic can only wash away the parts that have already seeped out; it can't completely cleanse them. After a while, new curses will continue to seep in, and the color of the marks will deepen again."

But both of them understood.

This isn't a matter of how many treatments you need.

This is a problem that will continue to arise.

Emily's voice lowered.

"Then... what should we do?"

Wayne thought for a moment and then answered.

"As a stopgap measure, we can only continue treatment. Until the source of the curse within you is completely exhausted, or another way to eradicate it is found. Until then, coming regularly is better than nothing."

Tilulu raised her head, her voice a little louder than before.

"Yes, something is better than nothing."

Wayne stood up, walked to the examination bed, and straightened the sheets and pillows.

Come here.

The two people stood up.

Wayne pointed to the bedside.

"sit."

An hour and a half later.

The curse healing is complete.

The treatment itself is not difficult.

The challenge lies in healing two people simultaneously. It requires drawing two streams of his own magic and channeling them into each person's body, demanding precise control over removing the curse. Too fast, too slow; too much, too little.

Fortunately, the outcome was good.

On the other side, the door to the examination room was pushed open.

Emily and Tilulu arrived.

In a sense, the two were moving in sync.

Tilulu felt secretly relieved.

Fortunately, Emily has the ability to teleport, so she doesn't have to run back like before.

Just like when she came to see Wayne before. Despite being exhausted, she still had to run back alone. She never wanted to suffer like that again. She decided that next time she would go out with Emily.

The two remained silent for a long while.

Emily spoke first.

"How are you?"

Tilulu's tone was the same.

"fine."

"Then... let's go."

"Um."

The panel appeared before Wayne's eyes.

[Emily Tilulu's Treatment Report]

[Healing effect: Excellent. The color of the curse mark has faded again, returning to its state after the last treatment. The treatment took ten minutes, about one-third less than last time. The two speculate that the healing effect is directly proportional to your own strength improvement. After breaking through to the fourth tier, the purity of your water magic has increased significantly compared to the third tier, naturally making the cleansing of the curse more efficient.]

[Note: The two remained silent the entire way back. Not because they had nothing to say, but because they had so much to say, yet didn't know where to begin. It was as if seven or eight windows were simultaneously open in their minds, each playing a different scene. The sheer volume and rapid switching of these scenes caused their language system to temporarily crash.]

[Note 2: The two felt proud of their courage. Whether it was for the apology or the aftermath of treatment, it proved true; the goddess was right, courage is the first step to overcoming fear. Today they took that step, and although the process was difficult, they did take it. Next time, they won't be so nervous.]

[Note: The two will report back to their eldest sister after they return. What that report will contain is another matter.]

[Tiruru's Psychological Activities - Supplement]

[Status: She's starting to look at Emily with new respect. Before, she thought Emily was quiet and had a low profile in the cult, always trailing behind others. Today, she realized that Emily wasn't insignificant; she was simply saving all her energy for crucial moments. She even felt a competitive spirit. What Emily could do, she could do too. She didn't want to lose. As for what she didn't want to lose, she couldn't quite put her finger on it.]

[Note: She secretly resolved that starting tomorrow, she would run an extra half lap every morning to improve her flexibility.]

Wayne's lips twitched slightly.

Run an extra half lap.

What are they trying to do?

To improve physical strength?

But Wayne still smiled.

Dora is right.

What witches need is not sympathy, not pity, not condescending charity. What they need is someone who can treat them like normal people.

Close the door to the examination room.

Wayne went straight to the bathroom.

He decided to take a good shower.

After all, he is a clean person.
