He must've had a very hard time when he was growing up. I can tell that Elves are often superficial due to their good looks, someone that had such a huge scar over his face was very noticeable. He was an easy target for bullying. Living that for so many years probably marked him a lot, he probably hasn't been able to move on since the day he got that scar.

I have to help him, definitely.

I'll find a way, no matter what.

"I see…" I sighed, quickly beginning to have several ideas. "I think we can do it."

Saphaley's eyes were suddenly filled with hope.

"D-Do you think so, Young Lady?"

"Yeah! It's not going to be easy, healing a scar that has been like that for so many years is very hard…" I said, as Saphaley's face quickly grew saddened.

"…But not impossible! Don't worry, I'll do anything I can to heal your scar, Saphaley." I smiled back at him.

"Y-Young Lady… Thank you so much!" Saphaley thanked me with all sincerity.

I couldn't help but smile as I saw him getting excited about it, I simply can't disappoint him now.

Ding!

[A New Quest has been generated!]

[A Special [Advanced Quest] has been generated: [Heal Saphaley's Scar]

[You've promised Saphaley to heal his Scar, and now the young elf is filled with expectations of such a thing accomplishing, mostly trusting you as you're the daughter of the Saint. However, expectations can only go so far! Try to heal his scar in less than a week.]

[Completion Rewards: [50000 EXP] [50000 Shared EXP] [Nature Rune Potion (D Grade)] x5 [Fire Rune Potion (D Grade)] x5 [Random Rune Potion (D Grade)] x5 [Random Skill Proficiency Potion (E Grade)] x5]

[Time Limit: 7 Days]

[Definitions] [Shared EXP]: [EXP that is granted not only to you but anybody within your Party that has a System.]

Wow, this time the quest is giving me a lot more of rewards than I imagined! Is it because it is rather hard? I guess it is not qualified as "Beginner Quest" but as "Advanced Quest" after all!

There are new items in the rewards this time as well! I had never seen Rune Potions before! Do they increase the Maximum Amount of Runes inside the Magic Circle? Then they're a permanent boost to that element power.

And then there's Shared EXP, which can be given to all my Familiars with a System Seed, and perhaps even my friends if I ever give them a System Seed, which is something I am still thinking about.

The rewards are too good to miss, I have to solve this right away. I quickly remembered that Naturia's leaves can instantly heal a fixed amount of HP, and I've seen how it heals my scars, so I might begin with this.

"Hey, Sylphy, how are you planning to do this? Didn't your mother said that old scars are very hard to heal? Not even she could easily do this…" Zack sighed, trying to be realistic. "N-Not trying to upset you or anything." He said to the elf.

"Ah… I've heard it is very hard, yes." Saphaley sighed. "But I am trying to trust her, I cannot really doubt her eyes."

"Don't worry. For now, let's begin with this. Eat these leaves." I quickly opened my bag, taking out two leaves.

"Leaves?" He wondered.

"Yep, they're Spirit Leaves made by my Nature Spirit, Naturia." I said happily, as Naturia emerged before everyone. She looked like a small tree sapling, too cute for anybody to even hate.

"A Healing Item made by a Nature Spirit? I had never seen such a thing before…" Saphaley was impressed. "I can feel within this leaf the power of this spirit… Very well."

He quickly ate the two leaves without hesitating, he quickly said they tasted like refreshing mint to his mouth.

FLASH!

His face quickly began shining brightly, as he was surprised.

"O-Ohh! Is it healing?! Is it?!" He asked in surprise.

However, the scar shone brightly, and some rough edges were healed, but nothing more.

"A bit, it seems a few rough edges were healed." I said while examining his face.

"Maybe try giving him more?" Asked Zack.

"Maybe it could work?" Saphaley wondered.

"Alright, eat two more to see if anything continues to heal." I said with a nod.

I gave Saphaley another two leaves. I had hundreds after producing them all these years without using them much at all, so I had a near endless stock!

…Well, not endless, but I had enough to spare some.

"Hmm… Hahh, their taste is so refreshing." He sighed in relief.

FLASH!

His face shone slightly now, but the scar didn't healed at all.

"Nothing happened…" I said while analyzing everything.

"However, it healed a bit the first time, this means the leaves have such a property." Said Celeste.

"Then we need to improve it, right?" Wondered Aquarina.

"Improve it? Like making a potion?" Asked Zack.

"Let me heal you as well, Saphaley! I am the party's healer!" Said Mist, the little girl quickly walked towards the elf. Saphaley found her as adorable as we all did, and really didn't mind her being a Demon or something. This town had a surprising amount of diversity, very few people minded the Demons we brought.

"Recovery Light! Heal! Heal!"

FLASH! FLASH! FLAAASH!

Mist continued healing Saphaley and touching his scar, but nothing happened.

"Muhh… It doesn't work." She sighed with a hint of sadness.

"Aw, don't worry about it. I am glad you were so considerate to try." Saphaley petted her head and gave her a little candy. "Here's your reward for being a cute little Saint."

"Candy! Thanks!" Mist smiled sweetly as she began eating it with her jaws.

"So this confirms it, Magic doesn't work either unless it is very high tier, and I cannot do that either." I said while thinking.

Perhaps if I used Alice as the medium… Even low tier spells become boosted a thousand times when she uses her powers.

I might as well try before going to make a potion.

"Alice, help me out!"

FLASH!

A beautiful and bright Spirit of Light emerged.
