The results of Nak's first day of training were decent.

First of all, there is the problem of physical fitness. This can be done in the remaining four days, and if anything, I don't want him to be fast. I hope I can develop the patience and endurance to keep moving, and eventually I can improve on that.

And about the most important part of making his body, healing magic.

Exercising healing magic while running seemed to be difficult for a wizard who was not used to it, and Nak was also struggling. In my case, I was forced to learn to run and feel magic at the same time, but now I think I understand what it means. For those who are accustomed to healing magic to some extent, it must be very difficult to exercise while running.

 

"Well, if you get used to it, you can manage it to some extent ......."

 

Early in the morning of the second day of training, I stood on the edge of the Luqvis Academy training ground, looking at Nak being chased by Bulllin, and I was thinking about the results of the current training and what could be improved.

Next to me, staring at Nak, is Amako sitting on the ground with the hood of her cloak on. She had been with the knights in the stables for the past few days, but she had come to watch me and Nak train because Bullyn had been sent out to train.

 

"At worst, use the Rose-style training forced continuous devil cure magic...... But I ...... a pang of conscience to use that."

 

"It doesn't sound decent from the name......

 

"Hahaha, it's not decent, because you're the leader, right?"

 

"It's not decent for Usato to use it as a last resort......

 

Excuse me, he trained me more than yesterday because I don't even know how to spell magic. In other words, he repeatedly fainted and continued to move his legs endlessly without being able to cure his fatigue with healing magic.

Compared to that, I'm a gentle person.

Amako, who is sitting next to me as she stands, looks at me with the eyes of a poor person for some reason.

 

"Don't put Nak and Usato together."

 

"Hey, stop talking like I was crazy before I learned magic."

 

"I can only think that when I finally got over such a crazy training, I was crazy from the beginning."

 

「.........」

 

Eh, that's not crazy for me.

But at that time, I was training desperately, and my memory is a little hazy, and I think it was quite rough.

...... Well, let's leave that aside and switch to knacking. She returns her gaze to him, who is running to escape Amako's gaze, which is still looking at her with pitiful eyes. At the end of his line of sight, he exhales a rough breath and sees Nak being chased by Bulllin.

Nack is gradually slowing down. Bulllyn sees that Nack has visibly slowed down, and he tries to slow down to the point where he can't tell it.

Don't do this, don't do this. The enemy of training is to take it easy, and there is no room for negligence in Bulllin, who is no exaggeration to say that he is an official member of the group, let alone Nak.

 

"Nak, you're slowing down............ Bulllin!! You're not having fun! If it's a magical beast, show it like that!!"

 

He yells at Bulllyn with attention to Nak.

Then, for some reason, the one who had been gentle and warned him had tears in his eyes, and he suddenly increased the speed at which he ran with his rough breathing. Bulllin, on the other hand, let out a squeal, "Yes, yes, I understand," and rushed out as fast as Nak.

In the end, both ended up running at near full speed, but why did Knack ...... let go of Bulllin?

As he tilted his head, Amako, who had placed his hands on his head as if to suppress his ears, muttered in amako as he saw Nak running at full speed.

 

"To be honest, I pulled it. Usato tries to be nice, but from Nak's point of view, it's natural for him to be desperate because of the possibility that he could be directed at ...... him. As expected, Usato is a stone. I can't tell you how many times I've had to surprise you on this trip."

 

"How can you be convinced!?"

 

I nodded yes.

...... But in the end, I was able to motivate Nak, so let's say it's good.

At worst, there is no problem with running at any pace. Unlike Ferm, Nak is a healing wizard, so even if he faints at worst, he will unconsciously activate his healing magic to heal him. Considering the environment that surrounds him, it may be natural for him to grow up in that way, but it is not enough to just work on auto.

 

"The only outcome I'm looking for in these five days is to get used to being able to strengthen my physical strength and use healing magic at the same time...... Amako, can you make predictions while running?"

 

"For the time being, but in my case, it's a magic that requires concentration, so even if I could, I could only see a little bit ahead."

 

"I've been trained to be able to use magic while running, so I don't know about that, so tell me. Is the training I'm asking of Nak wrong right now?"

 

「.........」

 

Amako growls at me as I ask without taking my eyes off Nak.

 

"To be honest, I don't know because it's unprecedented, but what can I say...... It's just that it's wrong for a healing wizard to train a wizard who isn't supposed to fight to fight. But while Usato's methods are harsh, unreasonable, and crazy, the results he seeks make sense. ...... It's unreasonable and crazy."

 

"You don't have to say it twice!!"

 

It's been a long time coming, but it's pretty harsh, isn't it?

Even so, there is no precedent...... It's enough not to be told that there are no trials that have been made.

Then let's keep going. Discipline never betrays me, and the only person who understands it the most is me.

 

"Well, I've got to do my best."

 

We're in the right place in the training grounds, and we're going to keep an eye on Nak and try out the application of the healing magic we've been thinking about since yesterday.

 

"What are you going to do?"

 

"I thought I'd see if I could cast a healing spell."

 

It's not like yesterday's Kazuki is attacking an opponent by manipulating magic bullets in all directions, but can you just make magic bullets fly?

People wonder what I would do if I could send the light of healing magic flying, but my answer to that question is that I would like to explore my own way of using healing magic.

 

"There's a kind of non-systemic magic that throws a ball of magic, but what Usato is trying to do is something similar?"

 

"It's like that, because I'm always developing healing magic in my body. Inevitably, when you heal someone, you have to get a certain amount of distance. In that case, I thought that if I hone my skills to be able to fly magic to a certain extent, I would be able to enrich my hand."

 

What I'm doing with healing magic right now is that I'm wearing healing magic all over my body, like the knack I'm running right now, and I'm healing my body's fatigue step by step. The attempt to turn around and try to do now was probably not something that Rose intended to teach...... Or maybe I didn't need to tell you what I am now.

If Rose was here, I might be able to get accurate advice, but without her, I have to find out on my own.

He closes his eyes and slowly releases the light of healing magic on his raised right arm. He prides himself on being more skillful at handling magic than others, and collects the magic he is wearing in his palm as it is, and creates a spherical shape as it is.

The release is the same as when you cast a healing spell, and the only thing left to do is to get as close as possible to the sphere you ...... imagining.

 

「......」

 

Inugami-senpai unleashed an electric shock as if it were discharging from the palm of his hand.

Kazuki created a sphere of light magic around him.

What I imagine is a beautiful green sphere. You don't need to add magic power like system strengthening, just connect the collected magic power so that it gradually joins together.

I feel a certain magical feeling in my palm.

If you open your eyes and look at the palm of your hand, you will .......

 

"It's easier than you think...... There's something wrong ......."

 

The sphere as I imagined was floating in my palm.

It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. That? I thought it would be more handy, but ....... Turning to Amako questioningly, she sighed in dismay.

 

"Naturally...... Creating a sphere of magic in your hand is the basis of being a wizard. Whether it's humans or us beastmen, the basics ...... the same. On the other hand, it would be strange if we hadn't done that until now."

 

It's ...... because it's the basis of healing magic to blow it up.

He looks away from Amako and looks at the sphere in his hand. It floats fluffily and moves as if to follow the movement of my hand.

...... Good.

 

"Huh!?"

 

"Whew."

 

Did you get caught?

He tried to use a healing magic sphere on Amako, but he was ejected before the sphere could touch it. Amako takes a distance from me and turns to me with a surprised expression.

 

"...... you tried to impose it on me now?"

 

"What the hell am I going to do to you? No, it's impossible."

 

"Obviously, I clicked my tongue, and who could have a future where my body suddenly glowed green except for Usato's healing magic...... Huh!?"

 

...... the body glows green?

Cheng Cheng, if you hit, you will recover as much as the magic power put into it, which is convenient. It may be faster to heal with healing magic than with radiant healing magic, but since this sphere is accumulating, the amount of healing is constant, but can you apply healing magic to the whole body in an instant?

 

"Oh, I'm sorry, it looks like the magic in my hand has flown towards Amako at some point."

 

"Hmm...... Huh?"

 

Anyway, the revenge that I decided to make Amako blow a bubble was successful for the time being, so let's move on to the application. For the first time in a long time, I was able to remember the joke with my bad friends in the original world, so I'm personally very satisfied.

I laugh and parry Amako's gaze as she glares at me with a groan, and stares at the target about ten meters away.

 

"Well, if you move it so that it can pop magic, you can fly it."

 

Then, stick out your palm and try to shoot it with the image of releasing a ball of magic power generated in your palm. After all, the manipulation of magic is imagery, feeling, and habituation. If you operate it in the same way as always, there should be no reason to launch magical power.

Paaaaa and a magic bullet released with a characteristic popping sound.

I couldn't help but raise my voice of admiration at the magic bullet released from my palm with moderate momentum.

 

"Whoa...... Huh?"

 

The sound of surprise was short-lived, but the magic bullet that was released vigorously slowed down after a certain distance, and by the time it reached the target, it was quite slow.

Even after several attempts, the result is the same: it slows down and disappears with the light at the same time as it is launched.

 

「......... Why?"

 

"Usato doesn't seem to be good at releasing magic."

 

"There are pros and cons, this ......."

 

At this point, a fatal flaw has been exposed.

Apparently I'm not that good at sending magic flying, although the initial momentum was amazing...... Or rather, wasn't the initial momentum just faster with the momentum of sticking out the arm? I ...... too happy about it.

 

"Wait......

 

The first momentum was the one that stuck out my arm.

If so, wouldn't it be possible to manage with some brute force? There is no need to shoot from a static state in the first place. When you don't have the talent to cast magic in the first place, the path to growing in a decent way is almost closed. Then why don't I take this sphere to a practical level in my own way?

My way.

In other words, it's a power move.

 

"Usato, this is already a matter of disposition, so you better give up, because Usato's raw is already strong enough."

 

"There's still a hand...... Amako ...... Whew."

 

"What?"

 

Once again, he concentrates his magic power in his hand and forms a sphere.

Squeeze the sphere floating in your palm so that it wraps around you, deflect your upper body widely, and shake it.

You don't need a talent to fly magic, it's not good enough to give up on such a thing! At the same time as swinging down with his large swinging arm, he throws a magic bullet toward the target.

 

"Oh...... et al!"

 

"What?"

 

The sphere of healing magic that he threw at him did not slow down, but slammed into the target with tremendous momentum, and flew backwards without slowing down, and without slowing down, it crashed into another target, scattering green light.

I can't aim as much as I throw it. Well, in the original world, ball games were not very popular, so it can't be helped that the hit rate is low. This is also a guy who only has training.

He exhales and looks at the spot where the magic bullet hit. It's about 20 meters, or a little farther depending on the target. I don't think I can throw it too far, partly because I'm throwing a magic bullet that doesn't weigh much with my arm strength.

 

"It's perfect."

 

"No, no, no, it's funny, throwing weightless magic ......."

 

"This is my unique technique, the healing magic bullet."

 

It's funny, it's funny, it's funny, it'

He was still running with Bulllin, but his legs staggered and he lost his balance.

 

"......."

 

I wonder if that would happen if I ran at that pace, or I would jump forward while staring at him as he was about to fall. I closed the distance that had been somewhat distant at once, and I supported Nak, who had fallen forward.

 

"Are you okay, Nak?"

 

"Huh...... Huh...... No, I don'......."

 

...... Since the magic power has not been exhausted, it is natural to assume that fatigue has caused him to lose the concentration to use healing magic. Put your hand on his back and cast a healing spell.

His complexion gradually improved with rough breathing.

 

"After all, is it difficult to do healing magic and running at the same time?"

 

"Yes、...... It's not impossible. But as soon as you let your guard down, it ...... unraveled."

 

「...... I can't help it because I'm used to it. It's not something I learned overnight, so let's do it carefully without rushing. We still have four days."

 

It can be said that there are only four days. At worst, he only uses healing magic when he's injured, and the rest of the time he lets his health take care of himself and focus on dodging, but that's too much of a gap for him to be in a state where he's using healing magic.

...... If you don't make it in time.

Nak is doing a good job. At the very least, he has been taking time off from his important studies to train hard. The feeling of training must be genuine. However, no matter how serious you are, the worst possibility always comes with it.

As I was trying to figure out what to say to him, I let out a loud cry and looked at the entrance to the training ground, and I turned to him.

Towards me, I saw a girl with distinctive twin tails smiling at the knack that was being supported by me.

That distinctive hair, Mina, ....... I wondered if she was also practicing magic at this training ground, but she was grinning when she saw Nak, and she turned on her heel and walked towards the school.

 

"What a kid you came to chill in."

 

I have a bad personality. Moreover, just looking at it and going home is a sign of confidence that you can win without doing anything special.

Either way, it's still something I don't like. Quietly quelling his resentment, he wakes up Nak's body after it has healed.

He got up and turned his back to me with one hand holding his face down.

 

"He's always been like that, making fun of me, mocking me, swearing at me. But more than me...... The magic and everything is so amazing that I can't say anything back......"

 

"Nak, I don't care."

 

"I don't care, because...... It wasn't like this before I was kicked out here...... It's just that it's healing magic, and everyone has changed, they've changed. I don't want to be in a place like this, but this is the only place I can go back......

 

...... No place to go back?

Does this mean that only Luqvis is here?

I tilt my head at his words, but I don't care. I could see the sadness on his face as he spoke to me as if he were spitting out.

 

"Usato-san, can this training make you stronger?...... Will you be able to beat Mina? Really...... I'm like this--"

 

Noticing the words he was saying, Nak suddenly fell silent.

After a moment of silence, Nak opens his mouth, as if to make amends.

 

"I'm sorry, I said something that didn't make sense...... Don't worry about what I said earlier."

 

No, I'm curious.

Nothing more serious than fighting Meena is a more serious problem.

 

"I'm grateful to Usato, but all I've been doing for the last two days is running...... I know it's very rude to be suspicious...... I don't see the point in this training."

 

"No--"

 

I involuntarily pressed my mouth to his back as he pondered.

No, I was surprised that the line that I should train if I had time to worry about maggots because of such a thing seemed to jump out naturally.

No, I'm poisoned by Rose. As expected, the merciless words are too harsh for him, who has a lot of things to hold.

Taking a deep breath, he erases the devilish lines that came to his mind earlier and converts them into kind words to scold him.

 

"It's not about whether you can win, it's about winning, and Mina is underestimating you. This is not a bad thing for you. The more you let your guard down, the easier it is to get a gap. The only way to gain the offensive power to exploit this gap is to train your body. So...... Let's do our best."

 

"Do you want to do your best......?"

 

He nodded with his back to me and started running. I saw him off with mixed feelings, and while feeling that he was caught by his words earlier, I casually tried to skip by the side.

 

"Don't slack off, don't slack off."

 

"Gu ......"

 

"Look, I won't be able to catch up with Nak."

 

Push out the bulllin that was forced to stand up and run it again. I suddenly thought about it when I saw the back of Bulllin who started running and Nak who ran in front of him.

I wondered if this was what Rose was like when me and Bulllyn were training together.

When I look at the training scene of the tough guys, it looks like monsters are running in formation, but when I see him and Bulllin, who are younger than me, running, I have a strange feeling.

 

"Master and apprentice?"

 

I muttered to myself and moved to a place where I wouldn't get in the way of him running.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In retrospect, maybe I should have noticed it at that time.

His monologue, the weakness and anguish he showed when he was mocked by Mina, he thought that the only way to solve it was to make him strong enough to defeat Mina.

But it was different.

The darkness he carries is more painful and cruel than I and Inugami-senpai thought.

I realized this in the early morning of the third day of training.

At first, I thought I was practicing on my own.

After all, I wasn't in the bedroom that Kiriha and the others lent me.

But I wasn't even at the training ground. Oh my gosh, did I get too involved in my self-training and fell late? I laughed and crossed my arms and waited with Bulllyn for about an hour.

Just when he was wondering about Nak, who didn't show up after a long time, he finally realized it when Amako, who came late, pointed it out suspiciously.

 

 

The fact that Nak ran away from training.
