Rejected the Demon’s Marriage Proposal Thousands of Times Chapter 69.5

Leon Fights the Demon (5)

"I haven't practiced Holy Healing." Anna said with a frown. Considering the ease of use of Holy Healing, she began to practice Holy Healing after she felt that her mental strength was sufficient. Dubian had taught her the spell circuit of Holy Healing, and she still remembered it to this day.

Holy Healing was a spell that could be learned by one to two star-mages with affinity for light elements. The same Holy Healing technique, used by different mages, could have different effects.

Anna had already been learning spells of a one-star level mage, so she was also practicing Holy Healing. The sooner you mastered this kind of practical spell, the better.

"Then practice it." Rothgarr lowered his head slightly to look at Anna, "You will never learn if you don't practice."

Anna looked at the injury on the demon's arm and thought about her half-baked Holy Healing Technique, and decided to not be courteous and use it on  this "guinea pig". He already sent himself to her door on his own initiative, it would be a waste to not accept it.

Plainly speaking, Holy Healing was a spell that sped up one’s healing. The more precise the mage's control of mental power, the better the healing effect.

Anna first carefully drew the spell circuit of Holy Healing in her heart, then she grabbed the demon's hand with her left hand and held it there. Her right hand hung above his wound. After feeling that there was no problem, she began to perform Holy Healing.

In fact, there were potions with similar effects of Holy Healing, and they were also potions that can be learned at the stage of a one-star mage. The only problem was that the raw materials were too expensive, and it took two or three gold coins at a time. Anna was reluctant to spend that kind of money. Plus, she herself had affinity with the light element and could learn Holy Healing, so she has not yet made arrangements to learn the preparation of these potions.

Because Anna was not proficient, and it took time to heal with Holy Healing, she estimated that it would take nearly five minutes to heal the demon’s—no, Raymond's arm. This was still under the premise that the spell would succeed.

In less than thirty seconds at the beginning, Anna felt her left hand suddenly being held tightly by the demon. She looked up at him in surprise, but the demon was expressionless, as if the one holding her hand tightly now was not him.

……What was he doing, teasing her in public?

Anna was a little puzzled at first, but then suddenly realized that if the wound healed quickly, it would inevitably have complicated feelings such as itching, numbness, and pain.

Wasn’t she the one who was not skilled in the technique? So, the demon was now enduring the discomfort of the wound healing process, and trying to act like it was nothing?

Oh, humans; they died to save face and lived to suffer.

While Anna was thinking so, she gently increased the output of her magic, which caused the wound to heal a little faster than before, so the indescribable tingling became stronger.

She even felt pain as the demon squeezed her hand a little harder.

"Does it hurt? Then I'll take it easy." Anna asked the demon pretending to be concerned.

Rothgarr knew that Anna had just learned Holy Healing, so he didn't have any doubts about her unstable performance. He only said: "It doesn't hurt."

"That’s good if it doesn't hurt." Anna nodded with a smile. She was quite casual about the output of her mental power.

If she maintained a stable high output, the demon would quickly get used to this pain. But if she interchanged between a high and low output, he wouldn’t be able to predict what would happen next, and he would not be able to get used to it.

And this was something she could judge from the strength with which he held her hand.

At present, she couldn’t get rid of him, so she could only get some joy out of this little thing.

The pain from the Holy Healing was nothing to Rothgarr; this was just an instinctive pain response of the body.

He kept staring at Anna while she was treating him, and he noticed that she seemed a little happy, and the corners of her mouth were slightly curved upwards.

Why was she happy?

Is it because he had won?

Rothgarr remembered that when he and Leon were still fighting, Anna didn't look at Leon once. At least, when he looked at her, she was looking at him, and she had defended him in front of Leon before.

No matter what Anna thought of Leon, at least in her heart, he was more important than Leon.

He came to this conclusion very smoothly.

Rothgarr suddenly asked, "You really want to be a five-star mage?"

Anna almost stopped the Holy Healing technique she was performing. She controlled her emotions in time, and continued to use her mental power. In order to mess with the demon, she deliberately used her mental power more casually, so this fumble did not attract the demon's special attention.

Leon said before that he thought she could become a five-star mage, and she also hoped so, so she expressed her desire at the time, and the demon also happened to be present. But there was nothing suspicious about this in itself. Anyone could shout "I want to go to Qingbei**" when they were in elementary school, but no one would take the shouting in elementary school seriously.

[T/N: Qingbei is short for Qinghua (Tsinghua) Beijing University, one of the most prestigious colleges in China.]

Anna knew that it was impossible for the demon to surmise from wanting to become a five-star mage that she knew his secret, but it was inevitable that she had a guilty conscience.
