The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 554
Episode 554. Self-Mana Muscle Control (1)
A new sun rises in the morning.
Sometimes new ideas pop into people’s minds.
Now is that day.
Rakiel suddenly had this thought as she looked at the morning sunlight shining on the window of the director’s office of the Oriental Medicine Clinic in the villa. Then, the Dragon King Berkis, who was in his director’s office, spoke to his mother, the Flame Dragon Callidis, and his younger sister, the Flower Dragon Flores.
“Let me tell you, it’s actually a simple principle. Now, the motor nerve tissue in Damien’s body is dying. So let’s replace it. “A passage of mana.”
“….”
No one answered.
Rachiel’s explanation continued.
“The biggest pain of Lou Gehrig’s disease is that the patient cannot move, and in the meantime, all sensory nerves other than the motor nerves remain alive. Literally, your body becomes a kind of straitjacket. It’s terrible. “I have a heart, all my thoughts are alive, and I can even feel all my senses, but I have to live in a state of total paralysis, unable to move at all.”
“Uhm, so what you’re saying is. Damien Cayenne just needs to develop a mana channel in his body? Are you trying to use that passage as a replacement for motor skills?”
“yes. That’s right, Dragon King.”
Rachiel nodded.
That’s it.
That was the realization(?) I gained last night while being pushed by the Dragon King’s laziness-filled torch and indirectly controlling the Dragon King’s body to dismantle the magic circle.
Suddenly, what happened at that time came to mind.
It was truly an urgent moment. A runaway magic circle. A huge explosion that was gradually being prepared. If there was just the slightest mistake or delay, the three-dimensional magic circle would explode.
‘It was really… close.’
But I did it in the end. We succeeded in straightening out the highly distorted mana flow in the magic circle. As a result, the storm calmed down. The magic circle has stopped. The crisis was barely overcome.
But was it that moment?
Suddenly, the same idea as what I just said crossed my mind. At first, I was dumbfounded myself. So I didn’t make a fuss. I didn’t get too excited that a new breakthrough had occurred. Of course, he did not inform the Dragon King and others.
Instead, I thought, pondered, and studied all night long. I stayed by the side of Damian, who was lying sick in the aftermath of the magic circle explosion, and changed the wet towel on his forehead, listening to the boy’s gurgling noises that resembled sleep, and continued to explore possibilities.
And around this morning, a conclusion was finally reached.
It’s absurd, but I think it’s worth doing more than I thought.
“In fact, if things continue like this, we cannot prevent Damien’s motor skills from dying. Because this is that kind of disease. To be honest, I don’t even know how to slow down the progress. It’s helpless. However… it seems surprisingly possible to develop mana channels in a completely new way and replace motor skills. Of course, it won’t be easy, but it is still a possibility rather than preventing the death of motor nerves.”
“Hmm. Instead of motor skills, it’s a channel for mana…”
“Yes. Damian himself moves his mana channel. So, we use mana to contract and relax our muscles. “Manually.”
“Every muscle one by one?”
“yes. “You have to manually use mana to control all the muscles that are normally controlled automatically by your motor nerves, one by one, without you being conscious of it.”
“….”
“That’s why we gave it a name.”
“name?”
“yes.”
“What?”
“Self Mana Muscle Control is shortened to Selma Muscle Control.”
“….”
It sucks!
Dragon King Berkis recalled his honest impressions. I also had the same impression of the song “Yeomhwaryong” and “Hwahwaryong” that we listened to together. They also thought. Sucks! Even Damien, who stood silently behind Rachiel, had the same thought.
‘…It sucks.’
But Damian didn’t complain.
The dragon king Berkis wore the hat instead.
“Do you have the best naming sense?”
“yes.”
“Are you science?”
“Do you know science?”
“What about the general outline? So, science?”
“…yes.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“sorry.”
“No, it’s not something you should be sorry about. Anyway, that Selma muscle you suggested… manipulation technique? That’s it. “It seems so difficult that it is only possible in theory.”
“yes. “Actually, it’s not easy.”
“It’s not that easy.”
Dragon King Berkis frowned slightly and crossed his arms.
“You have to consciously and delicately control and move all your muscles one by one. Does that make sense?”
“It’s possible.”
“But if you compare that to driving a car in the world you live in, it really doesn’t make sense, does it? This is exactly it. A person who normally drives a car only with the steering wheel and gear lever pedal… If you apply your Selma muscle control technique, the movement of the fuel tank, the engine injection piston inside the engine piston, and the movement of all parts of the gearbox are manually controlled at every moment. “You have to control one and drive it.”
“yes. “That’s roughly an appropriate analogy.”
“But will that be driving? “Even if you try to turn on just one blinker, you have to manually control all the batteries and electronic equipment related to it.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“But is that realistically possible?”
“Normally, that wouldn’t be possible.”
“then? “Are unusual cases possible?”
“yep.”
“Is there such a thing?”
“yep. That’s Damian.”
“Is that friend that special?”
“yes. “Because he’s a genius.”
Rakiel spoke confidently. Damian is that kind of guy. He is said to be a genius comparable to the legendary Grand Master Javiel Asrahan. He is a guy who should have shined like that in the original novel. But here, because of this side, I am going through a hard time without even getting a chance to shine.
“I believe in this guy’s talent. “It might be something that other people wouldn’t even dare to do… but this guy will be able to do it.”
“Write it. “It doesn’t seem like it to me.”
“Why do you say no?”
“That guy just looks like a sunfish.”
“….”
“I die every day, but this time I have this disease. Kuaaaa, this time I plan to die like this. Master, it’s like this.”
“….”
“Let’s just change the name to Debokchi.”
“Hey Dragon King?”
“uh.”
“I’m serious.”
“know. “I’m serious too.”
“But that’s true, Dragon King.”
“I know what you want to say. “Are you trying to say that there is currently no better way than this?”
“yes.”
Rachiel nodded.
It was just as the Dragon King said.
“Because of what happened last night. The Dragon King would have already found out. “The fact is that it has become impossible to send Damian to another world, such as the world of darkness or the world of darkness.”
“Well, that’s right.”
Dragon King Berkis also nodded bitterly. Actually, it was just as Raquiel said. It was he who tried to send Damian to the world last night. However, the moment the three-dimensional magic circle was completed and activated, the Demon King lurking inside Damian exercised his influence.
As a result, the magic circle exploded and a catastrophe almost occurred.
“I didn’t know that the Demon King’s influence had already grown so much.”
It was clearly his own mistake.
Honestly, I was shocked.
So, after the magic circle calmed down, he even personally checked Damien Cayenne’s condition. Thanks to you, I was able to find out. The fact that it was no longer possible to send Damian to the world using methods such as three-dimensional magic circles.
“That’s why. Now it’s clear. “There is only one option left for us.”
“That’s right. “Attack head-on.”
“yes. “Now I have to try to win the battle somehow with treatment.”
“I guess so.”
There was no way to send Damian anywhere. Therefore, in order to stop the Demon King, Lou Gehrig’s disease must be treated.
“And the Selma muscle manipulation technique I suggested will save a lot of time for the treatment. “Once you become proficient, you will be able to use the mana channel to move not only your skeletal muscles but also your respiratory muscles, so even if Lou Gehrig’s disease progresses, the actual impact on your health will be minimal.”
“But…so are you going to be okay?”
“yes?”
“The influence of the Demon King that will occasionally flow from that guy.”
Berkis pointed at Damian with his chin.
“The influence of the Demon King who interfered with the magic circle last night was by no means weak. It was almost as powerful as the Sword Master’s Aura. “But can you handle it?”
“You mean a sudden attack?”
“yes. “The Demon King will definitely be targeting you.”
“it’s okay. “I am more sensitive to mana movements than others.”
“You’ll be able to sense it in advance and deal with it?”
“yep.”
“Is that possible 24 hours a day?”
“It should be possible.”
“It might be possible.”
The person who opened his mouth and intervened after Rakiel was none other than Damian. He said with his distinctive black eyes shining.
“It will be possible. We will make it possible. “I will also be on guard and keep an eye on the movements of the Demon King lurking within me.”
“is it.”
“yes. And I agree with the manipulation technique using mana suggested by my lord. “I’ll give it a try.”
Damian expressed his opinion with determination. It was honest sincerity. He was truly reflecting on himself from last night.
‘I’m sorry, my lord.’
I remembered what happened last night.
The Dragon King’s opinion to send himself to the world.
It felt so appropriate. I was also convinced that this was the plan that would cause the least damage to my lord. So I went to find the Dragon King on my own. He even asked that he be sent to the world and actually did it.
But what was the result?
‘My lord trusted me, but I couldn’t trust him until the end.’
A runaway magic circle.
I lost my mind in it.
In the meantime, I clearly saw my master.
The lord did not back down at all. I didn’t give up until the end. I hung on to the point of persistence. Just to save myself. I only looked at that one thing and didn’t let go until the end. That person was his master.
“….”
The more I thought about it, the more embarrassed I became.
I didn’t have the courage to look at my master’s face.
So it was.
“I will try. No, I will do it. “I will definitely do it no matter what pain, difficulty, or sacrifice it may entail.”
“so.”
“Yes, Dragon King.”
“So you want me to help you too?”
“As expected, yes. “Dragon King.”
“But what is it, Selma muscle control? Would it be a miracle beyond luck to realize that in the human body? No, you’ll need something more than that. “Do you know?”
“I am prepared.”
Damian nodded with determined eyes. Of course, I know that this is not an easy path. No, I also know that it is an act of challenging something that is almost impossible.
It’s something that requires conscious control of every muscle movement. I’m in a situation where I have to live like that even when I make small daily movements or breathe. In reality, even taking a single step will come across as a terrible hardship.
But we will do it.
certainly. No matter what happens.
For my lord.
“I will definitely do it.”
“…okay. is it.”
In the end, Dragon King Berkis burst out laughing. If this continues, I won’t be able to stop it. Even if it seems impossible, I have no choice but to believe in it until the end. I have no choice but to contribute to the efforts to bring the impossible into the realm of the possible, even if only slightly.
“Then, this time I will ask you, Crown Prince, about the art of manipulating the Selma muscle. What process will you use to learn it? “If you insist so stubbornly, you probably have a rough idea of the method and curriculum, right?”
“Of course, Dragon King.”
Rakiel answered quickly.
The Dragon King asked.
“So what does the first course of treatment look like?”
To be honest, I was excited about this. Prince, this guy could have come up with a really plausible plan. Everyone looked at Rachiel in anticipation. It seemed like he would show a more reasonable treatment than expected.
“The first course of treatment is…”
Rachiel smiled.
“First, as a light warm-up, let’s start with chopsticks with your toes.”
