From No Body To Hero
Episode 18's

"Bern!!!"

Looking at Bern who had fallen to the ground, Kleio immediately jumped down from his horse.

"Chief of the royal magic, check him!"

The royal magic healer also directly jumped down from the horse hearing the exclamation and approached Bern. He only touched her for a second and his eyes widened in shock.

"Bring up magic potions, blood transfers and mana transfers! All of them! Just bring! Hurry along! His heart will stop beating in a moment!"

Everyone there was stunned to hear Bern's condition except for reinforcements from Kleio.

"The antidote to demonic poison too! He's been infected for a long time! How can a child survive to the end with this terrible condition."

The doctor quickly did his job. Steven got up and gave the healers room to do their work.

Only medical experts and royal healers were beside Bern now. Blood transfer, mana, antidote to poison, all used on Bern.

Kleio looked indifferent. But his finger moved as if he was very worried.

"What did the boy do when he was here?"

Kleio asked in a stoic tone and was a little annoyed added worry. They all just bowed down unable to tell. They're all still stiff hearing Bern's condition.

Duke Zeke was also seen out of his mind. He must have felt so useless when a child was protecting him. He was a family of knights and was protected. Not only was he embarrassing himself, he was extremely pitiful and useless. How devastated was he when he heard the child's condition?

Kleio could finally only go to the last option. He looked towards Steven who was wearing the robes of the Satan organization on him. He forgot to take it off.

"Who are you and why are you on this side?"

Kleio asked stoically. Steven knows that Kleio just wants to know what happened.

"Don't misunderstand me. I'm on Bern's side, not Sun's kingdom."

Steven wasn't shy about revealing who he was following.

'Bern, who's the problem you're taking this on?'

Kleio wanted to say that but stopped. He even said something else.

"He is my dog. If you're the dog, that means you're my dog, too."

Steven looked at Kleio in disbelief. He must be the crown prince this cares a lot about Bern. Maybe the reason is the same as him. Just a few words could bring someone to their side.

"Well, the boy from the beginning, where it's been unstable. The rich demonic energy here made every time he breathed, poison spread within his body. That's enough to express how much she suffered for these 3 days, right."

Kleio's fingers stiffly stopped. His face changed like it belonged to the group that Bern was with.

Anton just sat leaning against the tree while bowing. Lewis next to Anton did the same. Ailen clasped his sword tightly until his hand went numb. Uen massaged his nose trying to calm himself and Zion sat hugging his knees with a magic wand in her hand.

They all look frustrated even when they win. Steven sure, it was the first time for them to feel the hard real world. Their opponents were not just demonic beasts. Humans can also be their opponents. Greed and envy make futile battles triggered.

It might be a little better for Uen and Kleio to really know how hard the world was from the moment they were born. A political struggle has been brewing between them since they were born. The person who would stab them from behind was of course very much. Zion is excepted because she is very innocent and very protected by the third queen and her brother Uen.

Not long after, the healer approached Kleio.

"Your Majesty, his heart is starting to stabilize. But to recover it, we have to go to a better location. The demonic energy here is not good for him."

Kleio nodded and the witches prepared to open the transportation portal. The disturbance of mana has disappeared since the Satan organization disappeared.

"You, we have something to talk about."

Steven just grunted. What Kleio wanted must be information about Satan's organization.

'But I also don't know what the organization is and what its purpose is.'

All he knew was the name of the organization was Satan.

****

The palace's.

"What about his condition?"

Kleio asked in the room all the groups Bern and Steven were resting. They want to know Bern's condition as soon as possible.

"The conditions, Your Honor, can I be honest?"

Kleio nodded indicating yes. With a heavy heart, the physician spoke.

"The conditions are very troubling. Many organs********** are dead because of poor blood function. Even though his heartbeat had stabilized, I didn't know if he had a chance to wake up."

Kleio wanted to sit down and faint to hear it.

"A, can his organs be treated?"

Zion stammered asking.

"With magic potions, it is possible if it is taken permanently. But still, his body will always experience mana interference because of the demonic poison lodged in his body. From my opinion, I would choose to die from suffering this."

Everyone was showing a desperate face. The physician began to feel guilty after seeing that. If only the royal magician would willingly suffer a little pain and open the portal, Bern might only suffer a little.

The determination Bern did made the healer shocked. Even a royal magician would not be able to stand up again if he suffered 1% of what Bern suffered. It made the royal witch lose face.

Even so, not a few who were just envious and thoughtful Bern was only talented from the beginning to act like that. And out of envy, of course they vilify Bern.

****

With time to renovate Black's village and Plum town in Duke Zeke's area, a month has passed and the delivery of gifts will be done soon.

Bern's hand moved slightly and opened his eyes. A bright light entered his gaze for a moment until he could finally look around.

The pain hit him. From head to toe, it's all like a thousand needles.

'Hurt in lessin napa?'

Bern tried not to groan but in vain. Bern had no strength to endure pain when there was no danger and he was alone. No one would see it making him not have to worry about his pride.

In the end, when alone, he was just a weak puppy to pain. No human being in this world would ever get used to pain.

"Uhuk."

Bern bathed in blood and was a little relieved. Even though it was still painful, he could feel a little less.

"I told you, I can't believe you're 18! You should be at least above 20!"

"I'm 18! This is all my hard work! Believe me!"

But he stiffened after hearing the voices of Anton and Steven. It seems like we are arguing about age.

'No, I just bathed blood.'

'Damn.'

Bern hoped the door wouldn't open. But his hope is not delivered and the door is opened by Anton.

The three of them looked at the eyes. Anton immediately glanced at the dark red liquid.

"Tabib!!!"

Anton immediately ran for the healer while Steven approached Bern.

He sat Bern down and helped him drink.

"Do you want to vomit blood again? I heard you might have frequent mana disturbances because of the demonic poison already ingrained in you."

Bern just shaking his head meant that he would not vomit blood.

'So that's why my body still hurts. The poison really sucks.'

Bern just breathed internally.

"Your money......"

Bern is also a bit distrustful of Steven's age. He looks old.

"I'm 18. I've been training since childhood to make me tall, muscular and big."

Steven sure, Bern wouldn't believe it either.

'Doesn't that mean I'm running around with a kid who just reached his free age? I can't see the age of the look next time.'

But Bern only thought about his rudeness. He's a pretty gentle person to a child.

Steven took the potion and gave it to Bern.

"As long as you receive the herb from the transfusion, so it is better if you take it. It would be better if you drink than transfer directly to the body."

Bern took it but did not drink it.

'It smells like garlic. I'm not gonna drink this.'

Steven felt strange seeing Bern just staring at the potion with a face of despair.

"Aren't you going to drink it?"

Slowly, Bern lifted the bottle of potion into his mouth. His hands were shaking and refusing to drink. But Steven just thought it was shaking because he was sick.

Bang out!

Bern was startled and immediately dropped the potion bottle onto the floor.

"I brought a healer. Sir, please check it properly."

A middle-aged woman quickly entered the room. Bern was grateful to see the potion that fell to that floor.

'I don't need to drink it.'

The doctor began to examine Bern's condition and said Bern was fine. Bern may only experience mana disorders 3 times a day. That's something that's a relief.

"No need to drink magic potions anymore."

Bern felt relieved for a moment.

"However consumption of this magic mushroom. Very good for you."

Bern saw the white porridge that was served to him and wanted to reject it back.

'This is mushroom porridge what is garlic? It smells.... Did you guys bully me? I'm very old if you want to bully me.'

Once again, Bern's face turned into a face of despair.

"Bern, are you okay?"

Anton asked after seeing her hopeless face.

"I'm fine without this. My condition can't be treated either."

Anton, Steven and even the healer sensed that something was piercing their hearts. Looking at Bern who was desperate with his condition as he gallantly advanced, they could not accept it.

Tuk, tuk.

Knocking sounded.

"I want to talk to him alone."

That voice was Kleio. Everyone came out and let the two of them speak calmly.

"Ouh, mushroom magic. That's very good for a witch who's experiencing mana disorder."

Kleio said that when he saw the porridge in front of Bern.

"You can have it if you want."

Bern did not even glance at Kleio as he spoke as he looked at the porridge desperately.

"Why? You don't like it?"

Not only was magic mushroom porridge very good for magic, it was also very tasty and only nobles could eat it.

But Bern slowly nodded. Kleio tried his best to think of the reason.

"You don't like mushrooms? No-no. You eat grilled mushrooms well at the festival. You don't like garlic?"

Bern snapped and turned. A rare smile was engraved on Kleio's lips.

"Hjnm..... That so? I'll bribe you until you eat it."

Bern knew that Kleio was deliberately teasing himself. But he really can't swallow something rich in garlic.
