Ordinary observers in fast time travel

"Sir, Aria is here!" The prison guard led Shi Jia and the other two into a metal cubicle.

It had been almost two years since they last met, and Ailiya had become incredibly thin. Her eyes were sunken, and her cheeks were gaunt; Shi Jia almost didn't recognize her.

"Aliya?"

Aria, her eyes vacant, looked up in confusion. When she saw Shi Jia, her eyes widened. "Slana?"

"Yes, I am Slana. Do you remember me?" Shi Jia squatted down and looked into her eyes.

Sili and the other woman stood nervously on either side.

"Slana, I'm so glad you're alright." Aria smiled, the first time she had smiled in two years.

"Slana, I'm sorry!" She looked at Shi Jia, her eyes filled with guilt.

Shi Jia shook her head. "It's okay, it's all in the past."

Arya didn't speak. What had happened couldn't be forgotten; she had been too arrogant before.

The atmosphere was somewhat depressing.

Shi Jia said, "I've come to see you today for something else. Do you want to become a healer?"

Aria blinked in confusion, while Sliyue and the other woman immediately became anxious, "My lord?"

Shi Jia waved his hand, "I remember you haven't awakened your talent yet?"

"No, I failed to awaken my talent." Aria didn't quite understand what Shi Jia meant.

"That's not important. What's important is whether you want to awaken your healing talent," Shi Jia said seriously.

Aria smiled wryly, "I think no one in the Empire doesn't want to awaken their healing talent." But let alone talent, even ordinary talent isn't something you can awaken just by wanting to.

"Just think about it." As soon as Shi Jia finished speaking, a sapling appeared. No, at this moment, the sapling could no longer be called a sapling. It had a trunk three meters tall, a crown diameter of six meters, lush branches and leaves, and aerial roots like weeping willows.

"My lady!" Before Si Liyue and Li Shengsheng could stop them, the banyan tree shrank, turning into a palm-sized sapling, its roots piercing into Ailiya's brow.

"Contact Dean Fron immediately!" Sliyue immediately activated her smart brain, while Li Shengsheng kept an eye on Ailiya to prevent her from doing anything to harm Slana.

Both of them were helpless against Shi Jia, but they were unwilling to blame her. Lady Slana had already sacrificed too much. Sometimes she was a little mischievous and rebellious, but as long as it was within a controllable range and didn't harm them, they could accept it.

Since the adults want to help Aria awaken into a healer, then let them do it! As for whether it will succeed, they never seem to have considered it.

At this moment, Shi Jia's consciousness had entered Ailiya's mental sea, quickly purifying all the pollution. Then, he came to the little mermaid and focused his gaze on the little guy's throat.

The little mermaid's vocal cords were damaged, so she couldn't make a sound.

Shi Jia immediately used his innate energy to envelop the little mermaid's vocal cords. With the nourishment of the vital energy, the damaged vocal cords quickly and slowly recovered.

"Slana~" The little mermaid's voice was clear and melodious, with a hint of bewitching charm, not much less so than that of the lark.

"Ailiya, in a moment I will stimulate your mental core with my innate energy and mental power. You have to bear it, and try to relax and think about happy things," Shi Jia said. Actually, she didn't know whether she could awaken her healing talent.

Based on the information she reviewed regarding the awakening of healers over the years, those who awaken as healers are mostly in a positive, confident, and happy mood at the time of awakening, and are filled with a firm belief in becoming healers. Furthermore, like spiritual mimicry, there is no bloodline inheritance for healers. And a healer's talent is not determined by genes.

Aria hesitated upon hearing this, "Slana, is this really okay?"

"Give it a try. I'll use my innate energy to help you out in a bit," Shi Jia said, inexplicably filled with confidence in her innate energy.

"Alright then." Aria took a deep breath, trying to downplay her disagreement with the matter, while constantly telling herself that she would definitely awaken her healing talent!
With Aria's consent, Shi Jia withdrew his consciousness, took out a set of talent awakening aids, and put them on Aria. He then embedded an energy crystal core into the device.

Soon the instrument lit up, and the awakening to reality began.

At that moment, Frohn and his men stormed in, completely blocking the small metal room.

Shi Jia was taken aback at first, then looked at them with a smile, appearing fearless.

Frohn felt a headache coming on whenever he saw that smile. Just an hour ago, they were discussing treatment. This girl had seemed too tired to talk then. Who knew that in less than an hour, she would cause him such a huge mess.

"Slana! Don't laugh!" Fron was exasperated. How should he punish her? Lock her up? Fine her? Or send her to the front lines?
Stop joking! This isn't punishing her, it's punishing the Imperial soldiers! Punishing these old bones!
"Hehe, teacher, don't be angry, I was just trying it out!" Shi Jia quickly walked to Fron's side. "If it succeeds, we'll not only have one more healer, but we'll also have a continuous stream of healers!"

“Even if it doesn’t succeed, there won’t be any losses, and the person won’t be injured. It’ll just be a depletion of mental energy. They’ll recover in about half a month,” Shi Jia said.

"Hmph, you little brat, you always act on your own. Why didn't you discuss such an important matter with me? Don't you think I'm trustworthy?" Fron was furious. They had just met an hour ago!

"No, no, I just don't know if I can succeed. Teacher, you're so busy!" Shi Jia's voice gradually softened. Well, she was indeed in the wrong.

However, she seems to be used to making her own decisions and doesn't like to bother others. This habit is ingrained in her, and must have been formed from childhood.

Therefore, it is highly likely that this will continue in the future.

Looking at Shi Jia's expression, Fron couldn't bring himself to be angry. Oh well, this girl is growing up fast enough; she'll be able to stand on her own sooner or later.

Suddenly, a light burst forth from the person lying on the ground, the energy gentle and full of life!
Upon seeing this, Shi Jia's mind stirred slightly, and the little sapling on Ailiya's brow flew back.

"It worked?" Fron's mouth dropped open in astonishment. Could it be that the little girl's method really worked? She hurriedly looked at Shi Jia, "Slana?"

"Teacher, let's talk about this later!" Shi Jia held her breath, staring intently.

The light grew brighter and brighter, and suddenly, a lovely mermaid leaped out from the center of the light. Her long, wavy, pale green hair almost completely enveloped her small body, and she had fair skin and a blue fishtail that shimmered with the light of gemstones.

The little mermaid kept her eyes closed, her body nimble, her large fish tail flapping from side to side. Everyone seemed to hear the waves surging and see the vast ocean.

Immediately afterwards, the little mermaid stretched her body, opened her pink little mouth, and a beautiful and cheerful melody immediately filled the room.

Upon hearing this, everyone felt relaxed, as if bathing in warm seawater, feeling comfortable and forgetting all their troubles. Unconsciously, the fatigue accumulated over the past few days was swept away.

The one who felt it most deeply was Shi Jia.

She relaxed her body comfortably, her eyes shining as she stared at the little mermaid; she seemed to have found a good way to relax!
At this moment, the little mermaid, with her eyes closed, shuddered and "whoosh" darted into Aria's mental sea.

"Hey, where's the little mermaid? Where did she go! Waaah!" Before someone could even react, the person next to him quickly covered his mouth.

At this moment, Aria opened her eyes and instinctively looked for Shi Jia, "Slana, thank you!" (End of this chapter)
