"Don't worry too much about , child. I've grown used to not seeing, so it's fine. Even if you can't do anything, I won't think anything from it." Regio's mother obviously beca weary of the many treatnts so far, so she simply didn't care or hold any hope anymore. It couldn't be helped. If even the Royal Family couldn't fix it, then the chances of anyone else doing it were next to impossible.
Rean didn't know what was wrong either, so he didn't promise he could fix it. "Well, there's no harm in trying, so let check first. Madam, I'll put my hands on your face, alright? Also...ahem... I'm a Light Elent user."
"Is there a problem with being a Light Elent User?" Regio's mother asked after hearing him specify this.
Rean then looked at Regio, Colen, and the maids and decided it was better to explain the situation through a Divine Sense ssage. That way, only the old lady would hear it.
"This..." The old lady couldn't help but feel a little flustered when she heard Rean's explanation. "I... understand what you an." Soon after, she looked at everyone else. "Everyone except Rean and Regio, get out. I'll call you back once we're done here."
Colen and the maids were puzzled but did as they were told. Rean also explained to Regio why that had to be so, which made the guy not look very happy. "Is there no other way?"
"This is a side effect of the Light Elent. There's nothing that I can do at the very least," Rean explained.
In any case, recovering his mother's issue was more important, so Regio could only nod in response. "Very well."
Once everyone went out, Rean used his Light Elent to analyze the condition of Regio's mother. Fortunately, she knew what to expect, so she was able to control her impulses once the Light Elent entered her body. It's just that her face blushed as a result of Rean's Light Elent.
Rean kept checking her eyes and couldn't help but ask, "Were you able to see before?"
Regio imdiately answered, "Yes. She lost her vision during an attack our settlent received from so bandits in the past."
Rean narrowed his eyes in response. "This is weird. There's nothing wrong with her eyes. I can see that they have been regrown with the alchemists' pills of the Royal Family. With that being said, whatever was wrong with the old ones is now fixed. By the way, madam, I haven't asked your na yet."
Regio's mother began to get used to the Light Elent, which allowed her to talk a little. "I-I'm Natalia Klin."
Regio also added sothing else. "The physicians said the sa thing when they analyzed my mother's eyes. There wasn't supposed to be anything wrong there."
"They were right," Rean agreed with Regio's words. "Since she can't see, that ans the problem is further behind the line. Let check."
Rean imdiately went deeper into the connections of the eye. To be more precise, the connection between the eyes and brain. Only then was he able to see sothing different. "Oh! There we go! No wonder she can't see." Rean then asked Natalia, "Madam, when you lost your vision, were your eyes hit by so kind of searing heat? Sothing that only targeted your eyes and nothing else?"
Natalia was surprised to hear that question. "That's correct. I told it to the physicians and alchemists before, but they said they couldn't find anything related to the attack on my eyes. That's why I didn't ntion it to you. How did you know?"
Rean smiled as his hair changed into a mix of black and white. "It's not their fault. The attack you received was created through a mix of Yang Energy, Fire Elent, and so kind of flashing light. The person who did it is quite good at controlling Yang Energy, I have to say. If I'm not wrong, you weren't the only one affected either."
Rean continued, "Anyway, this mix created a poisonous effect that went through the retina of your eyes and lodged itself between the connections of your eyes' roots with the brain. The amount is also very small, almost undetectable. However, since vision signals are nothing more than small electrical pulses, it was more than enough to completely shut down the transfer of information."
Soon after, Rean used his Light Elent to protect the brain and eyes. At the sa ti, Roan's Dark Elent made its way to attack that foreign energy. "Regio, please hold your mother and make sure she doesn't move much. It's going to be quite painful."
Regio, who seed quite hopeful now, imdiately followed Rean's order. "You can fix it, right?"
Rean nodded with a smile. "I should be. Anyway, are you ready, madam?"
Natalia nodded. "Go ahead."
Rean imdiately started to destroy that foreign energy, which indeed caused a lot of pain, even with his Light Elent ensuring the integrity of Natalia's eyes and bain. Fortunately, there was just a little of that energy in the connection, so it took only a minute to fix it.
"Alright, I'm done," Rean said as he took his hands off Natalia's head.
Regio also looked at her, waiting for his mother to open her eyes.
Natalia then opened them and couldn't help but cover her eyes soon after while feeling pain.
*Ouch!*
"What?! What happened?!" Naturally, Regio beca worried about his mother's reaction.
However, Rean put a hand on his shoulders and laughed. "Hahaha! It's fine. It's just that she hasn't seen the light for a long ti, so her eyes hurt quite a little when she opened it just now." Rean then turned to Natalia. "Do it slowly, madam. Let your eyes get used to the light again."
Natalia nodded and followed Rean's instructions. At first, there was only a big flash in her vision. But slowly, the eyes got used to the light as the forms of the outside world began to take shape in front of her. In the end, she couldn't help but let the tears flow down. "I... can see again...."
