The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 98: Simple Massage

Nevertheless, even with Magic Vision, Vaan could only tell that Cyrena Ashenborn's mana veins were infected with parasitic substances. He couldn't tell how much parasitic substance had invaded her body.

After all, the parasitic substances were brimming with mana, making them look no different from mana itself. Thus, they were camouflaging with Cyrena Ashenborn's mana veins.

"I'm going to give you a simple massage to increase your blood circulation."

"Y-Yes, Teacher."

After Vaan informed her, Cyrena Ashenborn felt strangely nervous yet excited as her eyes remained shut.

Shortly after, Cyrena Ashenborn felt Vaan's warm hands on her calf, and her heartbeat quickened.

Her face quickly flushed with embarrassment, but it didn't take long for her embarrassment to be overwhelmed by waves of pleasure coming from her lower legs.

"Ahh~!"

A soft moan involuntarily escaped Cyrena Ashenborn's mouth, causing her to quickly cover her mouth with shame.

Cyrena Ashenborn was caught off guard by Vaan's dexterous hands that continued to send inexplicable pleasure, the likes of which she had never experienced before, as they moved up to her thighs.

'How is this a simple massage?' Cyrena Ashenborn was completely ashamed as she tried to hold back her moans.

Even so, she didn't want Vaan to stop. She could only bite her lips and suppress her voice through the wonderful sensation that brought her comfort and relaxation.

Cyrena Ashenborn didn't expect Vaan's massaging skill to be so extraordinary. She couldn't imagine what his 'good' massage would be like if his 'simple' massage was already this great. Even so, she couldn't help but look forward to experiencing it one day.

After a round of massage was completed on Cyrena Ashenborn's arms and legs, her whole body was warmed by the increased blood flow in her body.

But even with all the sensual stimulation, Vaan's Magic Vision didn't catch a speck of mana getting absorbed by Cyrena Ashenborn's body despite her supposed innate talent granting her superior mana absorption.

'It's that bad, huh?' Vaan narrowed his blue-glowing eyes before deactivating his Magic Vision with a calm, unsurprised look.

According to the medical records, Cyrena Ashenborn couldn't use magic, but she could at least produce some sort of response in the mana before the spell eventually failed.

That proved that her ability as a witch was undeniable—if not for the unknown factor preventing her from casting her spells successfully.

However, in the latter years, Cyrena Ashenborn could not produce any movement in the mana at all, as if her magic circuit had been completely crippled at that point.

'The parasitic substance must have built up in Cyrena's body over time until it completely sealed her ability,' Vaan mused.

Magic circles were formed to create the convenience of casting spells and increase mana capacity. But Cyrena Ashenborn's body was like a bucket that's already been filled with water—water that can't be used due to the parasitic substances.

As such, it couldn't absorb more mana.

Nevertheless, Vaan still needed to perform the last test to confirm everything.

Vaan went and grabbed the medical toolbox from the cabinet before checking inside. After confirming it had what he needed, he brought it back to Cyrena Ashenborn.

The basic steps were quickly performed before Vaan inserted his needle into Cyrena Ashenborn and extracted some of her blood into the syringe.

Shortly after, Vaan healed up the small needle wound on Cyrena Ashenborn's arm with a healing potion that came with the syringe needle in the medical toolbox.

Afterward, Vaan didn't hesitate to consume some of the extracted blood in the syringe.

Ding!

After receiving the system's notifications, there were no more doubts regarding the parasitic substances in Cyrena Ashenborn's body.

Vaan had collected all the evidence he needed.

"You can reopen your eyes, Cyrena," Vaan said after seeing Cyrena Ashenborn's eyes remain shut as she lay still on the infirmary bed.

Although Cyrena Ashenborn was still baffled why she had to shut her eyes, she was quick to reopen them after receiving permission.

She quickly sat up on the infirmary bed before her gaze fell on the syringe needle in Vaan's hand. After a moment, her gaze shifted back to Vaan.

"Were you able to confirm what my problem was, Teacher?" Cyrena Ashenborn inquired with a lingering faint blush on her cheeks.

At that moment, Hester Thornton entered the infirmary before looking back and forth between Vaan and Cyrena Ashenborn. Her expression quickly turned peculiar, as if she might have missed something that happened between the two.

The young lady's expression did not seem right.

Nevertheless, Hester Thornton chose to remain silent and gave them the signal not to mind her. She was just there to watch over them.

Vaan nodded before replying to Cyrena Ashenborn's earlier question, "The problem preventing you from using magic wasn't innate. In fact, you were born with more talent than anyone."

"However, you caught the Curse of the Purple Umbala, which can be found in your blood."

"T-the Curse of the Purple Umbala?" Cyrena Ashenborn and Hester Thornton were both startled by Vaan's claim before Cyrena Ashenborn doubted, "But how is that possible? I've never been anyway close to Sunpeak Town in my life."

"Do you have evidence to prove your claim, Teacher Cadieux?" Hester Thornton asked in a solemn tone, sensing the severity of the matter if it was true.

Nevertheless, Vaan casually raised the syringe needle filled with blood and said, "As I said, the proof is in the blood."

"The curse is in the blood? Did someone put the Curse of the Purple Umbala on the Ashenborn Household's bloodline? But that doesn't make sense either… Young Lady Cyrena is the only one affected by it…" Hester Thornton muttered with doubt.

Cyrena Ashenborn was also confused.

"First of all, the Curse of Purple Umbala isn't a real curse caused by magic. It would be more accurate to consider it a type of parasitic disease. Second and more importantly, this disease is airborne and can be latched onto anyone," Vaan explained.
