A stifled scream kept coming out of Luna's mouth.
She acted like a true tomboy as she tried to endure the pain in her body with all her might, without letting the people inside this castle panic and worry about her situation.
A normal teenager of her age would scream out loud when experiencing pain like she was feeling.
At the very least, they would ask their father or mother for help, but that was not the case for Luna.
"Do you always use the excuse that you're on your period when you want to hide what you're going through?"
"I'm on my period, dammit!"
"Who are you trying to fool?!"
The poison in Luna's body could not be easily detected. Even a high-level warrior or magician would have a hard time detecting it. So it was natural that no one realized that the Ralstone family's only daughter was being poisoned.
"W-What are you doing?" Luna furrowed her brows. "Get your hands off my stomach!"
She looked angry that I had lifted her clothes, even if it was only on her stomach.
I kept two fingers under her stomach even though she tried to hit me.
What I was looking for was the exact location of her supernatural pool.
"Follow the rhythm of my breathing."
I tried to tell Luna, but her eyes kept glaring at me. It was obvious that she didn't want to follow my instructions.
"Can't you trust me just this one time?"
"W-Who would believe you when you're giving off that kind of sly smile?!"
"Then, I'll do something to your body if you don't want to follow my instructions!"
I kept smiling while giving her a threat.
Luckily, Luna's symptoms had changed.
From sudden temperature changes and pain, it had now changed to extreme weakness. Her hand that tried to scratch my wrist had already fallen limply to the surface of the mattress.
"I-I'll remember this..."
Her weakness seemed to be so severe that she was unable to put up any resistance, including screaming or speaking.
I could have committed a crime against Luna. However, I was still sane enough not to even think of doing something brazen to her body.
[You perform external supernatural energy control.]
I began to channel the flow of supernatural energy in the air into Luna's body through the palm of my hand that was pressed against the surface of her stomach.
I can analyze another person's body if I use external control. Provided that the person is willing to open the way for me.
I closed my eyes and began to regulate the injection of supernatural energy as steadily as possible.
If I have injected supernatural energy....
[You are using the inner flow cleansing method.]
The inner flow cleansing method is a method to cleanse the toxins in the body.
Luna had already set her breathing rhythm according to what I showed her, so I also injected supernatural energy according to Luna's breathing rhythm.
First of all, I started by analyzing her supernatural conduits, which felt like a maze.
Supernatural conduits are like the labyrinthine pathways inside one's body, where supernatural energy flows.
Although it felt like a maze, I managed to get the map of supernatural conduits inside Luna's body into my head so that I could keep exploring her inside body.
Going in, going in, and going in, until finally, I could feel that there was a large lump of poison inside her supernatural conduits.
The next step was to unravel the lump of poison that had settled inside her supernatural pool.
Cleanse~ Cleanse~ Cleanse~
Slowly but surely, the large blob that had settled in Luna's supernatural pool began to dissipate.
I opened my eyes and realized that I had started to sweat.
'It turns out that doing this kind of inner flow cleansing method is very tiring. Now I know how Noctyssa feels.'
I had received this kind of treatment method in my previous life by Noctyssa when I was hit by a poisoned arrow in one of the battles I had participated in.
"Huurgh!" Luna suddenly puffed out her cheeks. Her face was flushed as if she was holding herself back from vomiting. "Blerrgh!"
Green liquid came out of her mouth.
Luckily, I had placed my wash basin under the bed, so the green liquid that Luna vomited didn't contaminate the floor.
'I suddenly became curious.'
'If Patrick's goal is to become the ultimate policy holder of the Ralstone family, why didn't he destroy Luna's supernatural pool like he did to me?'
'Why did Patrick bother to give poison to Luna?'
'Was it because he purely wanted to make Luna suffer? Or was it just a plot requirement?'
In the original story, when Simon had removed the poison from Luna's body, she forgave Patrick despite knowing that she had been poisoned by Patrick.
'Just like a typical heroine who silently waits for the knight on the white horse to save her, I guess.'
Simon was the one who would finish Patrick off in public.
You could say Patrick was a side villain character.
Will Simon still be able to be the knight on the white horse this time?
All will be revealed in the next two weeks, when the class awakening ceremony is completed and the coming-of-age party is held.

Clank!
Clash!
Shreekk!
The sound of clanking steel echoed through the weapons hall.
This weapons hall was inside the Ralstone family castle.
Apart from being a place to store weapons, the weapons hall also has an area for practicing swords and archery.
"Attack harder, b*tch!"
"Shut up, you assh*le!"
The soldiers who were practicing threw provocative phrases at each other to fire up their morale.
However, they stopped when they felt tired.
With their swords resting on their shoulders, they started talking amongst themselves while looking at one person who was running around the sword practice field in the center of the weapons hall.
"But, what is that drunkard doing here?"
"Do you really not know? Where have you been all this time?"
"I've been on leave for two weeks. What's going on?"
"Here, put your ear close!"
"...."
"...."
They started talking about me.
[You are using the Omni-perception skill.]
Just as they were muttering amongst themselves, it had indeed been almost two weeks since I had regressed.
