Halfa brought Usato and his friends.

He showed up while me and Kyo were practicing magic and waved at us.

Kyo, of course, didn't wave back, but I waved back enough so that people wouldn't find out. Why are you here? However, I remembered that Carla-sensei had said in advance that a guest would come to see the class, and I immediately understood that the guest was Usato.

 

Kara-sensei, who introduced Usato and the others, provocatively said that Usato and the others were more experienced and stronger than the students of our academy. I could have seen the backlash, and that's a lot of the case in my class.

I don't know what the other two are capable of, but I don't know if Usato can win. A magic that is as powerful as or greater than mine, and can heal any injury in an instant. No matter how much you chop it with wind magic, as long as the magic lasts, it will stand up, and it will be nothing but a nightmare to have an opponent who attacks you with a monstrous force that surpasses that of a beastman.

 

However, in the middle of the conversation, the story of me who swung my fist at Usato's in the city yesterday came up. This made Usato's eyes suspicious, and I also caught Carla's sharp gaze. It's okay to be angry because it's my own business, but it was a miscalculation that I made Mina, a problem child in the lower class, feel better.

- That evil young lady has a tremendously rotten sexual root.

She's the one who's been teasing the same healing wizard as Usato with her cronies for several years, and the academy is at a loss to punish her because of her family background.

What she said with a wicked smile was simply to "show your ability."

 

It's about her, and if it wasn't a big deal, I was going to expose her. The people around her seemed to know what she was thinking, but no one tried to stop her, probably because they wanted to know the ability of Usato.

I...... I couldn't stop it.

I didn't want to talk to the guys in this class, and the only one I could talk to was HalfaIn these cases・・・・・・Do not try to do anything.

 

However, the magic of Usato's two companions overturned their and my expectations.

A girl who handles lightning magic with destructive power that has never been seen before.

A boy who skillfully manipulates the magic of the light system, which is a rare magic.

―――This is exactly what it means to be taken aback. After all, the two people who were with Usato were the two heroes that Amako was talking about.

 

I should have ended there.

It would have been nice if everyone had convinced the two heroes to shut up and let them go back to training.

 

"I'm a healing wizard who belongs to the Ringle Kingdom, the Life Rescue Corps."

 

Those words changed the consciousness of those around me.

For the worse, of course. Kyo, who was next to me, held his head, of course.

 

My class is a bunch of firepower idiots.

With one exception, I think it's okay if something magical is strong. I don't mean to make fun of healing magic, but for his classmates who don't care about him, he has a strong impression that people who use healing magic are poor.

 

"What is healing magic...... I can win.'

"Weren't you running around?"

"It's a lie to say you're stronger than us."

 

Sure enough, the firepower idiots take it down.

- And that evil young lady should not miss this great opportunity.

 

"Uh, healing magic? I think I can win."

 

That's what I said.

At those words, Usato, while keeping a smile unchanged, replied in a voice without inflection, "Aha, I'm in trouble." However, the light magic user next to him suddenly burst into a feather from behind and began to strangle the other hero.

I don't know what's going on, probably because Usato, who is next to me, doesn't change his expression at all, but me and Kyo, who have good ears, can faintly hear the conversation between Usato and the two heroes.

 

"I understand your feelings, but please calm down."

 

"Kazuki-kun, just a little, just a little bit...... ...... to the extent that it burns."

 

"I can't do it."

 

......... If the light magic hero hadn't been forgiving, Mina would have been in trouble by now.

- However, the dull evil young lady should not notice it to that extent, and quickly raises her hand and takes a step forward.

 

"Carla, I'd like to have a mock magic battle with this person, okay?"

 

「...... Is it a mock battle?"

 

"Yes, if it's a mock battle with a healing wizard who can fight demons, you don't have to worry about getting hurt, right?"

 

...... - She's a disgusting little girl.

In other words, it's like telling Usato to be a good "target".

The fire type of explosive magic she wields is not powerful enough, but it must be a magic that is perfect for hurting people moderately, a magic that shows her rotten roots.

 

"Cheng Cheng, is it a mock battle...... It would be nice. You can do it."

 

"What?"

 

"Usato, it's a mock battle using magic, can you?"

 

"Oh, yes...... Well, you can......t do that."

 

―――But this time, the person who sold the fight was bad.

The healing wizard she knows and the healing wizard named Usato are literally too different dimensions. I don't think an ordinary healing wizard would want to fight me head-on, let alone have more power than I did as a beastman.

 

"Sister, is he okay?"

 

―――After all, my younger brother is a kind-hearted child.

He tells his younger brother, who is watching the place with a complicated look, "Usato is fine." In terms of power, I don't think that explosive magic that is inferior to my wind magic will work on Usato.

While relieved that the other party was a short-sighted Mina, he tries to see how this situation goes...... However, someone from our class stepped forward in front of Usato and Carla.

 

"Excuse me, can I take your place?"

 

"What!?"

 

Involuntarily, I raised my voice in surprise, but it is understandable.

The only exception in our class who came out was the only Devil-Eyed Gentleman who didn't use offensive magic—Halfa suddenly came forward to a mock battle between Usato and Mina.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the meantime, I decided to do a mock battle.

How did this really happen? It seems to be a mock battle with a girl with twin tails who looks at me with provocative eyes, but to be honest, I don't know how much to do.

What's more, Halfa said that he wanted to participate in the mock battle next.

 

"Oh, that...... Mr. Halfa...... I'm going to replace ......."

 

「...... Oh, rest assured. I'm not going to fight you. Of course—it's not worth it."

 

He said coldly to the twin-tailed girl who questioned Halfa in fear, his eyes glowing suspiciously with a pale purple color, and his eyes were directed straight at me.

 

"Usato-san, do you mind?"

 

「...... Hmm, well...... Are you taking it easy?"

 

The opponent is said to be a magic eye that can see the flow of magical power, and he will not use particularly strong magic.

If you run around randomly, you can get through it. At worst, you can hit him with a healing punch and stun him.

 

"Where should I do a mock battle?"

 

"Do it in the middle of the training ground, even though the target might get in the way...... Please bear with me."

 

Carla had a wicked smile on her face until just now, but now she has an excited expression on her face, as if she is going to see something interesting.

After Halfa left, it was clear that the students were noisy ....... I've promised it quite a bit, but maybe I've done something dangerous?

...... You'll find out if you try it.

 

"Then both of you will go to a mock battle for the time being."

 

"Go for it, Usato."

 

"Good luck Usato-kun, for my sake."

 

"Thank you Kazuki."

 

"Huh?"

 

After passing through the blur of my seniors, I rolled up the sleeves of my team uniform and started a light preparatory exercise.

...... There are times when I don't know how to react to my seniors who can't live without blurring out a little bit.

Stretching out his arms and legs, he turned to Halfa and saw him choosing a weapon to use for the mock battle.

I don't need weapons, I've used spears once, but it's dangerous to stab and injure them.

 

"Hey!"

 

"Hmm? ...... Huh?"

 

From a group of students, Kyo approached us at a pace that seemed to hear footsteps. It seems that you are getting attention from your classmates...... Is it okay?

 

"Is it okay to talk to me?"

 

"I really don't like it...... I'm here to warn you!"

 

「...... Advice? Are you me?"

 

I don't know how the wind was blowing, but I thought he hated me. I glanced at Kiriha, who was following me from behind, to see what was going on, but she had the same serious expression as Kyo.

What's the matter with the two of you?

 

"The guy you're going to fight now, Halfa, looks like a good guy on the outside, but on the inside, he's a ridiculous who doesn't do anything wrong."

 

"If something happens, Amako will be in trouble, Usato...... I'm not going to say anything bad, so I'm going to stop fighting Halfa. Halfa is too dangerous to be a mock opponent."

 

"I don't care what you say......

 

If I could, I'd like to, but I don't think I'm going to stop here.

If word spreads that I, who claimed to belong to the Lingle Kingdom's Life Rescue Team, was afraid to participate in a mock battle with the students, the name of the Life Rescue Team would be ruined, and it might interfere with my future journey.

Above all, if Rose in a neighboring country finds out that I was scared and ran away from the mock battle, I will definitely be punished worse than death. I definitely don't want that, I don't want Rose to be angry with me, I don't want to be punished, I don't want to be disappointed.

 

"Both of you...... It's a bit of advice, but I'm not going to stop. As long as I'm wearing this uniform, I can't afford to lose."

 

You can't lose in a punishing sense...... Whew.

 

「......... The only criterion to distinguish him is either strong or weak. You're going to hunt down the wizard to the point where you can't get back to him with no hands, right? Do you understand?"

 

"It's okay, it's not as good as my master."

 

If I can't punch people dozens of meters, I won't fall.

And after listening to the two of them, I got a point about Mr. Halfa.

The sticky voice that creeped up my spine when he first spoke to me, the way he treated me after he found out I was a healing wizard in the Lifesaving Corps, the way I looked disappointed that I didn't participate in the training—that he was watching me to see if I was fit for his glasses.

 

"Come on, Usato-san, are you ready?"

 

As I moved away from Kiriha and the others to the middle of the training ground, Halfa came in front of me with slow steps. In his hand was a wooden stick as tall as his body...... No, he has a club in his hand, and he is still smiling as he twirls it.

Now that smile looks ferocious.

 

「...... It's okay, I can do it."

 

"Was it...... Carla, give me the signal to start."

 

Carla nodded, and we faced each other. This one only spreads his legs shoulder-width apart, but Halfa thrusts the club with his hand forward and holds it low.

The purple magical light that had been faintly shining in his eyes gradually increased in intensity.

I felt something faintly cold in those suspiciously shining eyes, but I also wore healing magic on my body as I always do.

It would be nice if I could adjust my strength well in a mock battle that I am not used to, but first let's make a move that makes use of the training we have done so far. First of all, avoid attacks, and avoid all attacks that can be avoided. And in a hurry, I'm going to see how far I've been able to increase the magic concentration of my healing magic in the past few days.

 

"Okay~, I'll give you a signal~"

 

Why do you seem to be having such fun?

Carla raised her hand as if to signal the start of the event, glancing alternately at me and Halfa, then took a step out of the room, waving her raised arm.

 

 

 

"Begin!!"

 

 

 

At that moment when her voice shook the tense air and shook my eardrums, I did my bestbehind・・Jumped to.

At the same time as I jumped, Mr. Halfa, who had jumped to the place where I had been earlier at the start of the mock battle, was swinging his club.

 

"Huh!? This one jumped out faster ......!"

 

"I'm confident in my ability to escape!"

 

"Then I'll capture it and show you!"

 

Mr. Halfa jumped out with a stance as if sticking out a club at me who landed about 10 meters behind me. It may be the first time I've seen such a fast leg speed, even though I'm not an exception like Kazuki or Inugami-senpai, who are fast, demons or beastmen, let alone the heroes Kazuki and Inugami-senpai.

Tough on Rose? That's too much of an exception to be compared.

 

"Whew!!"

 

"Whoa."

 

Avoid the protruding club by turning your body around the neck.

He mercilessly sticks out a club around his neck. If you hit it badly, you will faint in agony.

Jumping sideways while turning around the barrage of successive spears--

 

"I won't let you!"

 

I tried to do so, but as if I knew it, a spinning club was inserted between my legs as I tried to jump, and my foot was slashed.

If you continue like this, you ...... get a painful blow.

Roll from a state of being out of position, put your hands on the ground, jump up and land with only your arm strength.

 

"It's harder than you think......

 

"I feel the same way...... Yo!!"

 

Perhaps because he doesn't give me a chance to rest, he continues to bring out the club.

Again, like before, it turns sideways and tries to avoid it...... But for some reason, the thrust to my face stopped at the last minute and turned into a slap to the side at me.

It's like you're anticipating the movements, it's really hard to do!

 

「！」

 

I hurriedly bent down to avoid brushing off the bush with a club, and the next thing I saw was Halfa's knee facing my face.

 

"You're too aimless!"

 

Just before the knee touches the tip of the nose, twist the body to avoid the knee kick.

I'm going to try to stop Kiriha and Kyo from everything in the right place. It's too dangerous, if I hadn't been trained by Rose, I'd have gone to stun Halfa with a gore...... Whew!!

 

"And--"

 

My movements have been predicted from a moment ago. Does it have anything to do with the fact that the initial reaction was so fast from the first attack? Either way, it's troublesome. Although he has been trained by Rose to dodge, it ...... very difficult to avoid if the attack is unleashed before he dodges.

I try to avoid Halfa's pursuit at the last minute, but I don't know why the movement is predicted.

 

"He's a horrible person...... Really...... Is it possible to do all this without injury...... Whew!!"

 

"I don't know what ...... say."

 

Halfa continues to draw his spears, though.

I can't get close to Halfa because of the club, but--

 

"Huh--......."

 

Don't be bound by Rose's words alone, I don't just do what I'm told, I go on the fly!

After exhaling slowly, he concentrates the healing magic on his raised arms, and catches the swinging club with his crossed arms.

There is some pain, but it's okay because it's not a sword or spear!

 

「...... Magical power ...... in your hands! Whew!!"

 

I threw an upper kick at Halfa, who looked at my arms and raised his voice in astonishment, but he jumped backwards easily and took the distance.

But now it's my turn to follow.

Halfa stepped back and closed the distance with a leap before he raised his cudgel, and then released a jumping kick.

 

"Damn ......."

 

"Did you avoid it?!"

 

It is dodged just before the kick hits.

After all, is it better to act on the premise that the movement is being read? Halfa's eyes have been unnaturally focused on me since ...... beginning. Well, I hope it's not as foul accurate as Amako's prediction of the future.

 

"I'll let you go by force!"

 

The goal of jumping into the bosom was achieved.

Mr. Halfa seems to have regained his composure quickly, and thrusts the club back at me. I'd like to say that it's a good decision, but this time I won't avoid attacking. If it's predictable, I'll attack it...... Whew.

With a fist other than the one with magical power, he flicks the club that is thrust out in his face and shifts its direction. The tip of the staggered club cuts through his cheek and blood spurts out of his cheek, but it's not a serious injury.

I didn't care, and swung my fist at Halfa's abdomen.

 

"What'......!?"

 

The fist that went to Halfa's abdomen was blocked by something hard, but he shook his fist as it was.

Halfa dances in the air with the momentum of his fist...... It's not as far as it goes, but when I was being beaten by Rose, it was just like what I just saw...... A.......

 

"Oh my gosh......

 

Am I an idiot?!

Why the Rose Standard!?

It's okay to faint, but why did I bother to hit it?

 

No matter how much he beat it with healing magic, this is no good. Also, it will increase the saga of being pulled by Amako.

He rushes to help Halfa as he tries to fall to the ground. However, as if to betray my impatience, Halfa adjusted himself in the air and landed on the ground without danger and fell to his knees.

 

"Hahaha...... It's the first time I've ever thought I'd die in a mock battle......."

 

"I'm sorry, I made a mistake, or I've gotten used to people flying......

 

That? I ...... that I could see the students of the academy out of the corner of my eye, Kiriha and Kyo with their faces blue with expressions that said, "It's a lie."

 

"If it wasn't for this, it would have been dangerous......

 

He showed me the half-cut club he held in his hands.

...... Cheng Cheng, did you guard my fist with the club that I put back just before it was about to hit? Isn't it possible that the defense was well done in time, at least it is much stronger than the Kibata Demon Tribe?

While I was secretly admiring, Mr. Halfa, who wielded a club that had been broken in half like a twin sword, held them up to me again.

 

"It's not over yet, I don't think we can end it...... You're stronger than I imagined, and you're so fascinating—luckily, thanks to your healing magic, you don't do much damage."

 

I wish I could end it here, but Halfa still seems motivated. I'd like to stop doing that...... It's tough not to do that.

 

"Huh......"

 

He opens his fist, which has gathered healing magic, and heals the wound by applying it to his cheek, which was torn off earlier. After confirming that the wound was gone, I raised my fist to Halfa, who was twitching his smile for some reason.
