Healing System

Did you forget?

At the system's words, an extremely detailed map appeared.

It had all sorts of dots scattered around, be it green, yellow or even red.

The map also included a 3D view that he could zoom into, it was extremely convenient, it was like a birdseye view.

'Now where are you..' Michael focused on the map, he could almost make out the details of some individuals.

Added on to the fact that if he zoomed in enough, he could roughly feel their mana, it would not be hard to spot Amanda considering she is one of the strongest people in the entire city.

First was Fafnir, of course, but it did not seem like he was currently in the city.

After a few seconds of searching, Michael finally found her, and much to his surprise, she was at the church at which he was first declared a Saint.

He had assumed that the church had fallen, after all, a bomb dropped right beside it, wouldn't be surprising if it had been caught in the blast after all.

But as Michael flew over there, he saw the whole church as well as its courtyard completely intact, as if a barrier had blocked the blast completely.

He floated down and landed right in front of Amanda who seemed to not mind him being nearly late.

"Change into this" She tossed a white robe that seemed similar to the saintly robe he wore at his previous inauguration.

And like the old one, it was nothing special either, just a simple piece of cloth.

Michael tossed it on himself, his golden mana clothing did not make him feel uncomfortable even with the extra layers he had put on.

"Alright, what now?" He asked and suddenly, Amanda took out a camera that had a red light shining on the very edge.

It meant that she already started recording, better yet, his clothes were all wrinkly and he still had a bit of dried blood on his face.

But nonetheless, Michael smiled at the camera, waiting for Amanda to start talking.

However, even after a few seconds passed, she had not begun talking, only looking at him with a small mischievous grin.

'This woman...' He inwardly applauded her shamelessness, but on the outside, he was quite pissed.

He was apparently expected to provide some kind of speech, and the icing on the cake was, he was never good at speeches.

Even back in school, he had memorized them perfectly, yet when it was time to actually do the speech, his brain went blank.

Safe to say, public speaking was never his forte, much so in front of the entire city.

Nonetheless, he began speaking what was on his mind "Err... Hello everyone, some of you might know me from before, I am the previous Saint."

Michael took a deep breath and continued "Due to the current circumstances, the goddess has summoned me to act on her behalf, to restore this city to what it was and combat the remaining demons."

'Fuck... what else do I say..?'

"Anywa- For that reason, I am back as the official Saint for an indefinite amount of time, please put your worries at ease" He finished and Amanda immediately cut off the camera.

"Nice, it was not live, but nonetheless, valiant speech" She gave him a thumbs up.

Nice one Amanda.

'Why are you on her side..?' Michael sighed at both of their antics and took off the white robe, he preferred his mana clothing over the regular stuff.

"You are so funny, is there anything else? Or can I go now?" He asked impatiently, he wanted to absorb the feather already as Tier 2 was just around the corner.

There was also the talk he wanted to have with Kevin regarding hell, but that could wait. The same could be said about the conversation with Chloe too, however, it was not that important.

After all, his interest in vampires was minimal, he did not even know they existed until just a few weeks ago.

"You can go, also, there will be an event held at the academy in a week, it's important so make sure to attend." She said and began walking to the side.

Much to his surprise, the driver who had always accompanied her was still alive.

Amanda got into the car and drove away, she was not that hung up on goodbyes it seemed.

But he did not mind, after all, he now had a bit of time to himself.

Michael decided to head back to the academy, he wanted to absorb the feather right away.

However, as he got closer and closer, his expression turned sour.

Conveniently, a certain part of the academy was blasted to bits which so happened to be where his dorm was located.

So once again, he was homeless.

Maybe it is time to cash in the check?

'What ch- oh..' He had completely forgotten about the million-dollar check Amanda had given him after the dungeon incident.

He could have cashed it in last time, but he was glad he did not, after all, the slums welcomed him with open arms.

However, he wanted some peace, if he decided to go absorb the feather in the slums, there would be quite a lot of people trying to bother him.

'Wait..' He suddenly froze as he looked at the rubble which had been his room previously.

The mana refining orb was in there but probably not anymore, it looked fragile already, yet a whole building fell on top of it.

'Fuck.. system, is it still there?' Michael asked with a tinge of hope, maybe it was not broken and he could recover it.

It's gone. I can feel the faint fragments of mana from it. Oh, and I don't want this to weigh on your conscience, but the reason this part of the dorms exploded was because the orb interacted with the demonic mana, causing an explosion of its own that decimated... Well, you can see how much.

'...That's just great, so how am I supposed to refine my mana now?'

Reach Tier 2, you will get a pretty big power up and maybe even a method to increase it, but don't worry, you will find a way to refine it soon.

Michael raised his brow at the system's cryptic comment and proceeded to head to the government headquarters.

He did not know where his check went, but Amanda could probably write him a new one.

No one stopped him as he headed up the elevator and into the round table room, where Amanda was currently napping.

But upon noticing him, she shot a glare at him "Miss me already? What do you want?"

"I want to cash in that check from before" Michael said confidently but her next response made him speechless.

"It's expired."

"..What?"

"I said it's expired, do you seriously think a million-dollar check would last years without expiring?"

'...' Michael just stared at her blankly.

"Can't you.. you know, unexpire it? As a token of gratitude for the Saint coming back?"

"...Just tell me what you need instead, if the budget is not too high, I'll get it for you, as for the check, the city is not currently able to provide just anyone with a million dollars to spend" Amanda explained patiently, it seemed like she could do at least that much for a Saint.
