Victor reacted instantly, shielding several children with a burst of wind qi, pushing the debris away before it could hit anyone. But the little girl beside him had already been knocked over and scraped by the shockwave.
Blood trickled from a cut along her arm.
The surroundings fell into terrified silence.
Someone screamed, "The child is hurt! Fetch a healer!"
"No need," Victor murmured, already kneeling beside her.
Her eyes were wet with tears but she tried to be brave. "D-Don't worry, great Iruhun. I'm okay…"
Victor shook his head softly.
"You don't always have to be strong."
Before anyone could protest or panic further, he grabbed her arm, inspected the wound, and then…
He licked his thumb, gathered a bit of saliva, and rubbed it gently across the injury.
The healing light was near instantaneous.
Her flesh knitted, skin sealed and blood evaporated like steam.
The girl gasped. The other Kahr'uun practically froze in awe.
"He… he healed her."
"With saliva?"
