Seated on the ground with our legs folded in and hands placed on the knee. All the candidates sat in this meditating state as we were still covered in those mysterious green pale flames from head to toe. A blazing sea of pale green flames swirled around this amphitheater-like raging whirlpool flood. The only difference was that the pale flame wasn't able to destroy anything nor did it even harm anyone at all.

After the Phoenix was forcefully fed that mysterious super potion, the beast's flame properties were altered into these weird healing flames. It's already bizarre that a flame can heal which is not uncommon, I mean there are elemental mages who have both flame and healing attributes at the same time; BUT to forcefully convert the property of an individual by just mere feeding them a potion, now that's something out of this world.

In the mage world, mana arts tend to take mages to a higher level, but auxiliary supplements like mana artifacts and mana potions tend to take mages to a whole nother level.

Mana artifacts are created by mage artisans who create weapons, tools, machines, gadgets, etc that function on mana. Meanwhile, there are also mages known as Witches who are skilled in creating potions and medicines used by mages.

Lux Sentinel used that green potion which was a highly divine grade potion that forcefully converted the attributes of the flames even against the will of the phoenix.

The virtue is literally forcefully harnessing the divine flames from the phoenix and distributing them among the people. There is literally no point in calling it 'Blessing Ritual' and we were forcefully utilizing these flames, which should be renamed 'Extortion Ritual'.

This just goes to show that the monarch of this kingdom is nothing but the servant of the virtues. I am pretty sure any sane king would ever let their holy divine familiar that they passed down from their ancestors, be used like a plaything and just to appease the masses.

I sure, I wouldn't like that either.

Seems the kingdom politics is even a bigger mess than I had imagined.
The virtues are literally the ones who are controlling from the shadows. I imagine that every nation was facing similar circumstances.

This kingdom went to shit for all I care. Our village is located farther at the edge and barely gets any help from the kingdom. Even if the ruler had been changed it would hardly impact our village back there. We were just lowly peasants without the blessing of mana.

I would rather enjoy the benefits from the inner turmoil.

Hence I again went back to meditating while the flames were still left abundant for us to absorb.
These divine flames were classed as divine class objects.
At this moment, the flames were busy healing the injured candidates and regrowing every flesh and wounds the candidates had taken.

Even my injuries and scars that occurred during the 2nd trial mishap were all recovered anew. Even Miss Urza, who was an excellent healer who treated me, was still left with fatigue and body cramps, the side effect of her healing. But divine flame's healing properties almost got rid of all the problems in a jiffy.

Not only do the flames heal external wounds but they can even enter our mana pores, entering the meridians and reaching one's mana core. The divine flames have the property to enhance the mana core, bringing it to blossom quite early than the normal means.

It also has the ability to even repair broken mana cores of the mages who might have lost their power during battle or during their ascension trials when ongoing their mana core promotions. Not everyone can recover their broken mana core but there is still some hope it sometimes does work out. No wonder my mom was very excited about this trip, I hope it works out well for her.
