The situation is probably in my favor.

However, Halfa's prize has changed. He is holding a club that has been split in half in both hands, which means that his weapon has been reduced to two.

The reach was shortened, but no less troublesome.

 

"Crush ......."

 

It doesn't take much force to break it from the feel of it earlier, and it should be easy to neutralize it with a few more blows.

I'm worried that the students who have been watching the game are silent as if they were at the wake, but for now, let's only think about nullifying Halfa in front of us.

I've had enough of being scared every time I'm targeted only in the face and neck.

 

"They finally got the motivation to do it."

 

"I didn't have any motivation or anything, and I ...... from the beginning."

 

"Are you kidding...... Even I can understand the difference in his ability. You surpassed my "eyes" with extraordinary physical ability alone. But you're not even fighting on your own turf...... I'm really sorry. Your duty is supposed to heal and help people...... But that's part of my job."

 

...... Duty?

What is the role, isn't this mock battle something that Halfa requested of his own volition? The color of regret mixed in his voice makes no sense.

No, I don't care about the role now. Now, Halfa's eyes changed from one full of sorrow to one that radiated a beastly intensity.

He held the clubs in both hands with a familiar hand, as if he was waiting for me to attack him. Besides, as he stares at me with his purple magical eyes, there may be something wrong with those eyes.

 

"If you're waiting for me to attack......

 

I have no choice but to go, or so it seems.

Even if we continue to glare at each other, time will just pass, so it's quicker to get out of me.

Jump lightly on the spot and time your jump. Whether I'm trying to make a comeback on the counter or defending, what I can do doesn't change.

Run and punch – that's all.

 

"Shhhh

 

With Halfa in sight, jump diagonally to the right and take Halfa's side. Sure enough, Halfa's eyes catch my appearance, but I don't care, and I stick out my fist with healing magic.

Halfa caught my fists with two clubs and at the same time jumped backwards to escape the impact.

 

"Shhhh

「.........」

 

The way you react is unnatural.

Even though his eyes are following me, Halfa's body's reaction is clearly delayed. - She chases after me and continues to kick me, but this time she can see me properly, so she dodges firmly and even counterattacks.

 

「......... Mmm."

 

Tilting his head and hesitating the protruding club, he takes a step back and looks at him once more.

I'm supposed to be pushing, but I don't feel like the attack is going to go through. Somehow, if Halfa is always on defense and dodging, I don't think I can beat him.

 

"You can't win with strength, speed, and physical strength...... But there are plenty of ways to use it!"

"I hope you don't look like you're fighting some kind of ridiculous monster!"

 

I'm a boss in an RPG.

But just as he said he could do it, the way he parried my fists and kicks with sweat on his forehead boasted an ironclad defense like a turtle in a shell.

It's annoying that he's parrying and distancing himself from me at the same time ...... annoying.

 

"Is it because I'm an amateur that my attacks are parried so far......?"

 

When it comes to martial arts, is it that easy to read my movements as an amateur?

 

"Then ......."

 

Predicting that he will be parried, he delivers a direct kick to Halfa.

Sure enough, the kick is parried and he jumps backwards to parry the power, but he doesn't care, stepping on his legs and letting the momentum take over him, closing the distance as he jumps backwards.

 

"Whew! So you came!!"

"That's all I can do to get away with it!!"

 

Even I, an amateur, can capture it at this distance!

This time, he clenches his fists tightly, anticipating being defended by a club.

After fighting so far, he knew he didn't need to hold back...... So!

 

"I'm going to crush it!"

 

Get out of that way!

He swings his fist with more force than he did when he punched Halfa earlier.

The aim is not the torso, but the club, and the obstacles are smashed first.

A fist that was swung down from above rushed forward at him in front of him.

 

"Huh--"

「！？」

 

――――However, the target, Mr. Halfa, was about to land on the ground.Behind the・・・・・He kicked the object, adjusted his position, and dodged my fist as if twisting his body.

 

"Behind, I got it!"

 

"Whew!?"

 

He twisted his body and went behind me, and he struck a blow with a club with centrifugal force on my back.

The pain wasn't great, but the blow was more than enough to boost my fist as I lost my target.

Losing track of the timing to stop, the fist hit the object that Halfa had kicked earlier to dodge.

The feeling of a stiff but elastic sensation that is squishy and clearly not a living thing envelops the fist for a moment, but the momentum of the fist cannot be absorbed by the elasticity and breaks through as it is.

 

「......... Oh......"

 

It was then that I finally understood what I had hit.

It was white in color, reminiscent of a larger log, and it was slammed forcefully into the ground, the same "target" that Senpai and Kazuki had destroyed earlier.

 

「.........」

 

"It can't be broken normally"

"Very sturdy"

"No one is going to break it with their bare hands."

 

Quickly, Halfa looked at his seniors.

Kiriha is shaking her body, and Kyo is worried about what happened to her.

Carla looked at me and laughed.

The students look at me as if I were looking at a monster.

Kazuki is looking at me with a twinkle in his eye.

 

And the appearance of a senior who gives me a thumbs up with a dodgy face.

 

「...... This is the one that happened to be about to break, so ......."

 

He spits out excuses for his pain and tries to pull his arm out of the target that he has broken through for the time being.

―――Can't you get rid of that?

 

"I won't miss it."

 

From behind, Mr. Halfa runs up to him as if it is a good opportunity.

 

"Wait a minute! I can't get out."

"I'm going to use everything I can...... That's my strategy too!!"

"What a haphazard strategy!"

 

While he is struggling, Halfa attacks him.

This is bad if your arm doesn't get out of the target. However, he is not a sweet opponent who can handle only his right hand and legs. Rather, it is close to clogging when you are forced into a situation where you cannot move freely.

―――No, no, do you have such a goofy jam! Losing a game like this is going to be killed by Rose!

 

"Nuoo

 

He delivers a high kick to the side of Halfa's head and blows him away. It seems to have been defended, but time can be gained. After that, in that short time, pull out this unscrupulous target!

Place your right arm on the pierced left arm from below and lift it as hard as you can.

 

"Usato-kun!? Are you finally going to go beyond the realm of people?!?"

 

The seniors there are a little noisy!

Gritting his teeth and putting so much force that his legs were digging into the ground, he remained immovable like a telephone pole until a moment ago, but gradually cracks appeared in the ground and began to wobble.

 

"Oh my gosh!!"

 

Waiting for the moment when the strike became sweet, he drove the tension hand with the right hand attached to his left arm as if to move the target and pulled it up at once.

Perhaps it was driven shallower than I expected, but the roots of about a meter come out. The target was off the ground, but the crucial arm was still stuck in it, and Halfa had regained his position and was already trying to swing the club at me.

 

"You can beat me so easily!"

 

At the same time as he turned around, he brandished a target with his left arm pierced in it and pushed away Halfa, who was trying to get closer to him. He dodged with a light step, and with a wry smile he looked at the target where I and my left arm were pierced.

 

"What does it mean to pull out the target...... What a funny ......."

 

Who would have thought this would happen? I'm surprised, too.

But unexpectedly, it was buried in a shallow place, and it was easier to pull it out than I thought.

 

"You even pulled out a target that was reinforced with fixed magic!

「...... Whew...... It was hard for me to pull it out...... too."

 

It's just that the magic wasn't reinforced by chance, Carla. So don't make things so big.

However, I was surprised that he would kick the target and try to get behind me. He has excellent fighting skills, and he is also good at using the things around him to fight, and he is strong enough to understand why Kiriha and the others are worried.

The most troubling thing is that he is completely reading my movements. First of all, we have to do something about the reading.

 

"Speaking of which......"

 

I forcibly pulled my left arm off the target, and I remembered something as I cooled my slightly hot head.

That's when I heard from Wealthy that Halfa's magic of the Demon Eye system called "Demon Vision" can see the flow of magic power regardless of person or object.

Perhaps because I was too caught up in Amako's foreknowledge, I ...... that I didn't pay attention to his lineage magic.

If the application of the magic vision is to predict Amako's future, or rather, to "sense" her attacks, then she should understand why all my movements are predicted in advance.

 

When Halfa first met me, she said, "The magic flowing through my body is very smooth."

In other words, in Halfa's eyes, she can even see the flow of magic when I'm not using magic. I don't know what to do, but what if...... If the meaning of the "flow of magical power" that I had been thinking about was different from the meaning of the "flow of magic power" that I saw in him who is fighting now...

 

"It's worth checking out......

 

If you are expecting an attack, no attack can be decisive.

However, the method of defeating the Blue Grizzly without asking questions, as in the case of the Blue Grizzly I met in the forest, is too dangerous for Halfa as a human. Also, it's dangerous to use my power like I did earlier.

This is the only way.

 

「...... It looks like you're going to do something!"

 

With his left hand, which contains healing magic, he lightly clenches his fist and approaches Halfa.

You don't have to go out of your way to attack -- I want to make sure --

 

"This is ......."

 

Move the healing magic from your left hand to your right foot.

After transferring magic power in such an amount that it is not visible to the bystander, he strikes his left fist. After all, it's called a phone punch. It was fast and powerful, but it was a fist that Halfa could easily parry......

 

"Whew!!"

 

But somehow, Halfa blinked her eyes unexpectedly and then hurriedly defended my fist. It seems that the defense was just in time and succeeded in parrying.

―――I was able to read it somehow.

 

"Isn't it just the flow of magic that you can see with your magic eyes?"

 

「......... Did you notice......"

 

He quickly lowered his two clubs and exhaled as if in contemplation.

 

"Magical power circulates in the human body...... And I know this."

 

Perhaps because there is no problem even if it is exposed, Mr. Halfa reveals the seeds more obediently than expected.

That's right, I guess it doesn't matter if it's normal or not. The only way to deal with the opponent who predicts the movement is to turn a blind eye.

 

"The magic that flows like a gentle river causes 'fluctuations' due to the activation of magic and the movements of the wielder...... and I was watching your movements by looking at these 'fluctuations'...... However, the weakness is that there is nothing you can do about it when you are outnumbered by one body like you ......."

 

I had predicted that it would react to the movement of magic...... Cheng Cheng "fluctuation"?

The reason why he was able to confuse Halfa by deliberately moving his magic power in a strange way was that he couldn't tell if the attack he was delivering was his left hand or his right foot, so his reaction was delayed.

Look at me because I had a point where the attack had been read. Mr. Halfa pointed the tip of his club at me again.

 

"But I'm not going to fall for that blatant feint anymore, I'm not done yet...... I can fight......

 

「......... No, I'll finish it next time."

 

If you're trying to read my movements by looking at my magic, it's too early.

If you don't fall for an easy feint, I've got the right trump card. It's a bit of a risk, but I'm sure it's going to be very effective for him as he watches the flow of magic.

In order to win the next attack, he runs towards Halfa as before.

 

「...... No matter how fast you are, you can't go straight so many times!"

 

I know that. But when you use your hands like this, it's convenient to be in the center of your field of vision, from the front!

Even when Halfa looked ready to attack, I didn't stop and raised my right hand, which contained healing magic, in front of me for him to see.

 

"I have to get caught in a feint--"

 

"Is this enough?"

 

As much as I can, I pour my magic into my right hand, where the healing magic is activated. The pale green color darkens, as if ink has been added, and my right hand glows.

 

"Huh...... Light!?"

 

Quite simply, Halfa's countermeasure against the cracked seed was to blind him. And his eyes are too sensitive to follow my movements.

When I shake my right hand to the side, his gaze is focused on my right hand as if against his will.

 

"--Huh!!"

 

A strategy that is precisely because you have too good eyes.

Because he is so "sensitive" that he can follow my movements with his eyes, there is no way he can't help but follow the movements of his right hand, which is enveloped in the light of powerful healing magic.

I approached Mr. Halfa at once, who showed a fatal opening, and kicked away the club he was holding with a kick and unleashed a fist.

 

"What!?"

 

His fist sticks out faster than he can defend himself, stopping just short of making contact with his chin.

I looked at his face, inwardly terrified as to whether or not he would continue the fight with his fists clenched.

 

"Haha...... No way, it's that easy...... Without hesitation...... Surrender. We lost the game completely."

 

He finally admitted defeat to me with his fists, and he raised his hands as if to surrender.

It was finally over, and in many ways, it ......was a tough game in many ways.

 

「...... Huh?"

 

He breathes a sigh of relief and pulls his fists, and as he relieves, he realizes that he is suffering from a rustling pain in his right arm.

When I looked, I saw blood pouring out of my hands.

I was inexperienced and improvised a patchwork of magical power, so my hands couldn't bear the load. I immediately put on a healing spell to heal the wound on my hand, and slowly closed my right palm, which had been repaired cleanly.

 

"But the wounds aren't as big as they used to be."

 

I'm also growing.

At least more than before.

- I realized that I was growing steadily, and I made a small guts pose without even a handle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Fufufu, I thought you would do it, Usato-kun."

 

As soon as I returned to the front of everyone after the mock battle, I received a word from my senior that I was not happy at all.

When I looked around, I saw the students looking at me with a noisy look, and Mr. Halfa lined up among the students with a satisfied smile.

Fighting him, I found one problem.

It's the way you treat your opponent when you fight with people. If demons and demons were beating people by standard, it would be a big deal. Or rather, I've only fought demons and demons so far, so this time it's decent (?) I understood this well in the battle with humans.

 

"Huh......"

 

"I know your personality very well, but does it take this much flashiness for a demonstration?"

 

"Demo...... What is it?"

 

I asked him that question, but he just smiled meaningfully.

If you know anything, please don't hesitate to tell me......

 

"Both of you, the battle just now was brilliant, I didn't expect to see the final barrier of wizards, the addition of magical power, even though it was still unfinished."

 

He tries to ask his seniors again, but he bites his mouth when Carla-sensei starts talking.

She seems surprised by the magic I have done, but the other students don't seem to know what she's talking about.

 

"Come to think of it, I haven't told you yet, ...... system enhancement is the technique of strengthening the concentration of magic power, and the concentration of magic power is largely determined by birth, but it is the system strengthening that overturns this. If you hone this skill, even if you are a wizard with a poor fire system, you will be able to control the flames in no time."

 

...... the lineage enhancement of healing magic? is simply to increase the healing power and lower the healing power of one's own body, but is there another enhancement in other magic?

It's nothing to do with me.

 

"Then why don't you tell me right away...... This lineage enhancement is not something that an inexperienced wizard can handle. If you do it poorly, the magic power you have added will go out of control and burst. Someone who is quite skilled in the use of magic--"

 

As I listened to the story, Carla, who was walking in front of the students with her arms crossed, came up to my side. Looking at me, the corners of her mouth twisted, and she suddenly put her hand on my shoulder and looked around at the whole student again.

 

"No matter how shattered your hands are, no matter how badly you hurt, you can only keep training without regard ....... I'm going to show you the 'battle' of the useless healing wizards you speak."

 

―――That's what I said.

It's completely fantasizing, isn't it? I'm completely glaring at some people, and the twin-tailed girl who first tried to challenge me to a mock fight is looking at me with bloodshot eyes.

 

"Hmm......?"

 

At the entrance to the school building, a little behind the students who were looking at me, there was a boy who was looking at me dumbfounded. A petite ...... who came in a robe covered in soot There was a boy who was a healing wizard like me.

I made eye contact with the boy. He wasn't staring at me like he was when he first came here, but his eyes were close to seeing something unbelievable.

 

"Um, Carla."

 

"Leave me alone, not now."

 

She must have noticed, too, and immediately replied.

Regardless of Carla's and Halfa's intentions, my actions may have been reckless.

Unintentionally, the power of healing magic could have been enchanted. But I ...... didn't think for a moment what the consequences of this action would be for him because he didn't know his name.
