Rise Online: Return of the Legendary Player

After Kaizen finished the mission, Lydia asked him to wait a little longer inside the Royal Palace before going. He didn't quite understand the reason at first, but he assumed that she wanted his left hand to be recovered by a healer, so he accepted.

Kaizen was happy that everything had worked out even with so many possibilities of going wrong. However, his good mood practically vanished as he went through the list of rewards for the mission and he realized that he didn't receive any really relevant rewards.

'Besides all this shit here, there were three secret rewards, weren't there? Ah, damn them... What did I do not to get them? Should I have killed more people? Or maybe not have killed anyone at all? Did Taznaar steal these possible rewards from me? That son of a bitch pays me.' He thought as he paced back and forth across the garden with a vein popping out on his forehead.

All the soldiers who were well were running back and forth from the different areas of the Royal Palace. Even exhausted mentally and physically they were trying to help their wounded comrades.

Kaizen didn't feel a bit bad about not helping with the wounded, it was just that from a distance he saw a healer mage healing a row of soldiers near the wall and he had an interest in getting a healing ability.

Before he left walking, Kaizen looked everywhere to make sure there was no one watching him and then he went.

When he got close, he sat down on a stone bench and tried to look relaxed. After a few seconds, he opened one eye and used <Analyzing Eye> on the healer mage who was about four meters away.

Kaizen was a bit surprised that a healing mage had a magic called <Explosion> and was tempted to copy it, but he held back and tried to copy the <Advanced Healing> skill as it seemed to be better for what he wanted.

[~Condition Copy~

Riceak is happy that he is being helpful by healing the many injured guards, but he is also crestfallen that he was unable to do anything during Arthas and Davster's invasion. Comfort him].

Kaizen stood up and approached Riceak.

"Hi, I see that you are a healing mage. It looks like you've been helping people here a lot, but this must be hard for you too."

Riceak looked at him, surprised at Kaizen's unexpected approach. "V-you're the Kaizen everyone is commenting on, aren't you? Pre-need anything, sir? Everyone is talking about how amazing you are for finding out about the King and helping him."

The soldiers in line for healing noticed Psyker's approach as well and started praising him along with the healing mage.

"You were so fucked up earlier, man!"

"Teach us some of your tricks!" 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦

"Thanks for saving the King and Princesses' lives!"

"He even called Captain Arthas to help him, what an impressive thing."

"Kaizen, you acted like a true hero!"

Kaizen put a hand to the back of his head and blushed as everyone talked about him. "Ah, I just did what I could. It's good to see that everything ended well." Kaizen looked at Riceak and smiled. "I'm here to ask you something. Can you heal my left hand?"

"Of course. I'm happy to be of service to you!"

Then Riceak excused himself, closed his eyes, and recited the chant of <Advanced Healing>:

"Oh, healing power. Take me to your shelter to help a steeplechaser. Heal his heart and his body."

As soon as the last word left his mouth, a light, soft glow took over Kaizen's left hand. Psyker felt a tingling and relaxing warmth and his hand magically appeared. He cracked a smile of relief and thanked Riceak for his help.

"Thank you very much. By the way, don't overcharge yourself, you are good at what is needed."

"Thank you, Mr. Kaizen. I am honored to have received praise from someone of the hero's." Riceak said this with a sincere smile on his face.

[You have achieved the conditions.]

[You have successfully copied the skill 'Advanced Healing (B)'.]

[Do you wish to save this skill? YES/NO.]

[The copied skill is saved in the Apograph deck.]

[Skill: Advanced Healing

Few people are divinely connected enough to have the honor of obtaining the blessings of the gods, and those who are should value this to the fullest by using their powers whenever necessary. However, this ability requires a strong body and an even more stable mind.

The user of this magic is limited to one use per day (24 hours) for himself, and a second use per day for someone else.

(Note: this ability allows you to heal critical wounds, stop bleeding, heal broken bones, and recover lost limbs, but cannot recreate vital body parts such as the head and heart from scratch).

Acquisition Difficulty: B.]

Kaizen thanked Riceak once more before leaving. He was happy that he had obtained one more skill, as he walked back to where he was before, he saw that Ravastine was looking for him.

"Hey, are you looking for me?" He asked, waving at her with his left hand.

Ravastine was glad to see him. "I see you got your hand back already, that's good.... My father wants to see you to thank you properly, will you accompany me?"

At that moment, Kaizen cracked a wide smile, because he felt that this was the time to receive the real rewards of the mission.
