The Witch Hunter System

After agreeing to enter the academy, Vaan and Helia Ashenborn enjoyed their meal over some idle talk.

As Vaan filled his belly, the spiritual food, which was akin to quality medicine, nourished his body. They improved his health and strengthened his physical abilities.

It wasn ’t something a commoner could enjoy, and it wasn ’t something any noble household could enjoy every day either.

Vaan was certain that Helia Ashenborn was burning away her wealth to maintain her health.

By keeping the rest of her body healthy, she could at least slow down the spread of the second-stage antimagic spores that fused with her hands.

Nevertheless, Vaan didn ’t shy away from the food because of that. After eating his fill, Vaan excused himself from the Great Hall and returned to his guestroom for the night.

Tomorrow, Vaan was going to visit the academy.

…

”Come in, Hester, ” Helia Ashenborn summoned before watching Hester Thornton enter the Great Hall from the kitchen entrance on the left side.

At the same time, Helia Ashenborn casually noticed some food crumbs stuck to Hester Thornton ’s left cheek.

Nevertheless, Helia Ashenborn ignored it and said, ”I will listen to your report now. Feel free to dine with me if you haven ’t eaten your fill in the kitchen. ”

”Y-Yes, Lord Helia, ” Hester Thornton replied with some embarrassment, wiping her face to clean off the food crumbs after noticing Helia Ashenborn ’s gaze.

Shortly after, Hester Thornton gave her report on Vaan ’s activities in the grand library during the day, which coincided with the information Helia Ashenborn received from her informants.

Afterward, Hester Thornton mentioned Vaan ’s need for dual practice partners and the ongoing Zellera ’s Curse that caused people ’s concern recently.
