A/N: Yes, I probably can combine this with the next chapter. But that would mean I'll never be able to post this today so...
Jun's mind raced, puzzle pieces shifting around his mind. The mana flowing from the ground... The wounds that wouldn't heal with mana... The massive blue mana ball... It sounded like a story from his textbook of legends. Slowly, everything seemed to click into place.
"Oh my goodness..." Jun suddenly exclaimed. "You're an Eremes Ohno-san... You have the blood magic of the Eremes…"
“Ehhh?? What... what are you talking about?” Ohno was shocked.
"I've learnt about you! I mean... About your family..." Jun gulped, tripping over his own words as he struggled to recall what his tutor taught him.
"Eh? What? Explain!" Sho demanded. The news came too fast and the rest were equally shocked.
“You know how everything in nature has a life force right? Even mother Earth…” Jun tried to explain.
“Uhuh?” Sho frowned as he gently tried to wash Ohno’s shoulder blade wound.
“Normally people have a mana reservoir… And that’s why I can see your aura colors and all… But Ohno doesn’t have an aura… Unlike the rest of us, you don’t have a life force reservoir at all. Instead, you are able to draw the magic from your surroundings and use them… That… Is the blood magic of the Eremes” Jun recited, hoping that he’d remembered the details right. Everything seemed to match up though.
“And the healing?” Nino quizzed.
“By the simple act of Ohno drawing the life force from the ground through your body… The life force itself is able to heal you.” Jun explained.
“Wow… This is… Unbelievable…” Aiba finally spoke, looking at the horde of dead soldiers at their feet.
“So… That’s why you never tire…” A dawn of realisation hit Sho.
“I guess…?” Ohno muttered and yelped as Sho tried to dab the wound dry. The adrenaline rush was wearing off and he was starting to feel the dull throbbing on his left arm, and the intense searing pain of the unknown magic spell.
“Gosh… What should we do with this?” Sho asked.
Jun conjured up a light so that they could examine the wound better. It was a revolting black, and oozing black blood.
Jun shook his head.
“It’s poison… Whatever that spell was…” He too saw the black blob flying towards Ohno.
“Anyway why doesn’t life force heal Ohno… What are we supposed to do about this?” Sho asked.
“I think it’s something about how the cells in the Eremes are constantly flooded with mana from the channelling, so they have adapted to be unaffected by mana… Or something to that effect…” Jun frowned as he tried to recall what little he’d learn about healing magic. He felt a tinge of regret for always not paying attention in class when he was younger.
Jun concentrated his sight on Ohno’s wound. He could vaguely make out some black aura in the area, but when he tried to use his magic, the aura wouldn’t bulge.
“I don’t know… I guess we can only bandage it up… I don’t know what else we can do…” Jun muttered.
The black ooze had stopped flowing after Sho appiled some pressure, and they fashioned together a compress bandage with stripes of cloth and tied it up as best as they could.
“Thanks,” Ohno smiled bravely as he picked himself off the floor.
Sho offered to help Ohno but the offer was declined.
“It’s ok, I can walk on my own.”
“Ok, but let us know if it gets worse or something…” Sho said worriedly.
“Yeah. I will…” Ohno said as he took a deep breath and looked around. “So now what?”
