Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

"Right then, so as you have guessed, the context of the situation is a little different than what I explained. I wanted to tell you this so that I can get a hold on your mental state to see if you're suitable for what I have planned." Shiro smiled softly.

"What do you have in mind?" Lyrica asked curiously.

"That can stay a secret for now since it's not something I need you to do immediately. My test just now was to see how much you've grown so that I can plan for the future. Anyways, I'll tell you the truth of the situation now. I didn't lie when I said we were surrounded on all sides and I was forced to kill your mother. However, what I didn't say was that your mother was the one who forced me. When we were at the end of our ropes, she grabbed my hand and plunged it into her own chest, taking away her own life which caused me to class up into tier 6. With my new found power, I was able to escape and our 'gracious' help arrived not too long after." Shiro explained with a sad smile.

Staying silent, the party listened carefully while Helion was especially surprised since he was completely oblivious to the fact that she had reincarnated. All he knew was that she lost her memories.

"In Aria, I was part of a team known as the hero party. We were led by the Light Hero or rather, Light God known was Aekari Lumiere, also known as Duan Han Ying in this life. The one that killed me in my second life as Kuromi. He is also going to be our biggest problem in the new age since I was the one who killed his avatar in this world." Shiro chuckled.

"Wait so that's who you were killing when you left last time?" Madison widened her eyes at the mention of Shiro killing a god's avatar.

"Well it wasn't on purpose. You see, the only goal was to rescue Yuki but it just so happened that Aekari was there so we decided to kill him. Don't worry though, he wasn't tier 6 so we lived." Shiro laughed.

"Urg… I both hate and love the fact that you survived. Hate it because you're going to be as reckless as ever. Love it since you're still alive." Madison sighed.

"Hahaha, don't worry about it. Anyhow, weren't you girls going to do a raid?" Shiro asked.

*COUGH!!!

Hearing her question, the girls paused and looked at each other.

"Erm… we forgot?" They forced a smile as Shiro rolled her eyes.

"Why don't I join for old times sake?" She offered with a chuckle.

"Sure, it's a level 200 raid called Sanctuary of Sin. There is a total of 4 bosses and they're mostly annoying due to the curses and debuffs. Their physical attributes aren't too bad so it should be a walk in the park." Lyrica replied.

"You say that but their physical attributes caused the people in this city to not complete this raid you know? Especially after curses." Madison reminded as Lyrica shrugged.

"True but we have Silvia to cleanse us no?" Lyrica smiled.

"Speaking of cleansing, I managed to get a pretty interesting skill in my fight against Duan Han Ying. It's a healing skill." Shiro called out with a smile.

"Oh? You got another one? Don't you have the fire of life?" Silvia asked curiously.

"Yeah, it's a skill called Grace and it's ranked EX." Shiro nodded.

Explaining the details of the skill to the party, they looked at her with confused eyes.

"Aren't you a mage???" Silvia cried out in sadness as she hugged her knees on one of the sofa's. Chen Yu sat by her side to comfort her.

"How the hell did you even get an EX ranked skill on top of an EX ranked title to buff this skill!? Hell, I didn't even know EX was a rank! Who the hell is the healer between us????" She protested at the unfairness of the system.

"Well I had quite a few decent healing skills so I combined them. Due to what had happened, I obtained a portion of a phoenix's vitality, meaning fires can heal me. Therefore, I combined my Life Fire, Phoenix fire and Celestial Star and out came the EX healing skill. To be fair, I wasn't even attempting to make this. It just kind of appeared." Shiro replied honestly.

{You know, if I didn't know you any better, I'd think that you're showing off. Just look at poor Silvi over there, she looks like she wants to strangle you.} Nimue sighed.

*Cough

"Heh, I think I might as well change classes to a berserker since Shiro's got the healing covered." Silvia said with a hollow laugh.

"Oh right Sivli, since I can only get one charge per day with this skill, I can at most heal 10 people in this party unless it's in an army of more than 100. Therefore, you are still our lifeline. Just think of me as the supporting act to the support." Shiro said with a smile.

This seemed to put some life into Silvia as she nodded in satisfaction.

'Yes, the healer should be the healer and the DPS should stay the DPS.' She thought with a smile.

"But you get to heal even a million people when you're in a large army right? For the small price of half your mana as well. From what I know of your regeneration, that can be recovered quite quickly. So if you're in an army of 1 million people, with all ten charges, you are technically healing 10 million people in total." Aarim analysed as Shiro could hear Silvia's heart shatter.

The rest of their party looked at Aarim with wide eyes due to the fact that she had essentially plunged a dagger into Silvia's heart. After all, her mana regen was not as monstrous as Shiro's so healing over 10 million people was a pipe dream. Plus, should she be in an army or 100 million people, then she can heal 100 million people. This will continue to stack up as long as it's over 100 people which isn't hard even in a raid.

"Ah." Covering her mouth, Aarim realised what she had done as she glanced towards Silvia who was now depressed.

"Don't mind her Sivli, obviously I can't heal 100 million people at once. Just for 50% Mana? Hell no." Shiro persuaded as Silvia nodded since that was indeed a little too difficult. Her broken heart started to mend.

{Now that's a f*cking lie isn't it?} Nimue rolled her eyes.

'Hush, sometimes it's good to lie. Especially in this situation.' Shiro shrugged.

"Anyways, before we go into the raid, why don't we have Helion do some maintenance on your equipment?" Shiro suggested with a smile.

"If you don't mind of course." She turned to Helion.

"It's my job." He shrugged.

Hearing that he had no problems with this, the party presented their battered equipment.

"Well at least it isn't as bad as Shiro's armour when I saw it. Crazy woman decided to fight a tier 6 as a tier 4 and her soul bound armour was almost destroyed. The f*cking thing is graded at Red+ too. One of my best works." Helion said while evaluating the armour.

Obtaining the information on how Shiro was fighting a tier 6 entity, the entire party glared towards Shiro's location but she had already disappeared.

"So that's what mum was fighting!" Lisandra pouted in annoyance since she felt like she had a heart attack half way through a dungeon and collapsed.

"Just be glad it ain't a tier 7." Madison sighed.

"She did that too. Killed a guy known as a god slayer and obtained a Black grade material." Helion cut in as silence filled the room.

"So you're telling me, in the time that we were separated, Shiro fought a tier 5 Gorgon that was weakened, a tier 5 avatar of a God that has killed her twice and could use tier 6 magic, a tier 6 monster that forced her to use all of her healing spells along with almost killing her and as if that wasn't enough, she also killed a guy known as the God Slayer?" Madison asked with a twitching smile.

"Sounds about right." Helion nodded his head.

Taking a deep breath, Madison smiled.

"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear any of that. All I know is that Shiro fought some strong people. The end." She said with a smile as the rest of the party agreed. It was better not to dig too deep into what had happened.
