Usato, a healing wizard.
I've been involved with him four times.
The first time was when the Demon Lord's army was still in place, after a second attack on the Lingle Kingdom was unsuccessful and defeated.
A healing wizard who runs on the battlefield for the second time.
Something like a human being that vanishes like smoke and is as fast as the wind.
An incomprehensible enemy that beats you with healing magic.
A lot of people talked about him.
He is alive despite being attacked to the point of losing consciousness.
The only thing that is engraved on his mind is the memory of being stunned by something dressed in white.
Why are we alive...... It was later revealed that the reason was that he was using healing magic to incapacitate his soldiers, but I still remember that it left me in a kind of mess at the time.
The second time was when he and Sister Amira went to Hinomoto, the land of the beastmen.
At that time, he had a fierce battle with the former corps commander Koga.
Koga is a decent guy, he doesn't do his job, and I don't particularly respect him, but his ability is the best in the Demon Lord's army.
It is precisely because I recognize his strength that I am also a subordinate...... I didn't expect that Koga to be an anomaly at the time when he decided to be a good opponent.
The third and final battle with the Ringle Kingdom.
He seemed to be more violent than he had been in the previous battle, and I was told that he was alive fighting Nero-sama, the commander of the First Corps, or that he had turned into a monster in a series of battles with Koga, or that he had captured Hannah, the commander of the Third Corps, with a strange power at the end of the battle, and that he could not tell if it was a hallucination or a fact.
I heard from Koga, who actually fought, that he was borrowing the power of a dark wizard, but that didn't make any sense.
And the fourth time.
I'm here at the Demon Castle...... No, this is the first time we've had to fight him head-on.
Ridiculous physical abilities that directly surpass the physical abilities of the demon tribe.
The moment I easily caught up with my confident speed, I finally understood the "fear" that my friends were talking about.
"Elle...... Are you alive......?"
「…… I'm dead."
The first thing I felt when I woke up was the disconnect between my body and my mind.
My body is not tired, but I get upI don't have the energy・・・・・。
When I moved my vision, I saw two of my fellow soldiers, Kevin and Wal——— not far from me, lying on the ground as well.
"What do you mean now...... Situation?"
"After that, I couldn't even touch it and passed out, and you were the only one left at the end, what did you think?"
「…… Shhhh
"It looks like it didn't work that way."
I've been reminded ......!!
That healing wizard...... I jumped on him to catch him, but in the end, I couldn't even touch him and I passed out......!!
"He's ......?"
"It's over there......
He turned around and looked in the direction that Kevin had instructed him with his chin, and there he could see Usato, who was fighting Koga.
"Oh my gosh! Healing explosive bullets!!"
"I've seen that technique! You just have to throw it back before it bursts!!"
"Then offset it with a healing explosion wave!!"
What'...... it?
Is the healing magic exploding......?
The bursting healing magic sends wind pressure and healing magic particles flying up to you.
Holding his hand over his eyes, he can see Koga attacking from above Usato's head with claws that have transformed dark magic.
"In front of the healing sense, it is meaningless for me to be surprised!
"That's it! I know!!"
Silver gauntlets and black claws crashing in mid-air.
They make metallic sounds and engage in fierce fights without delay.
"Resilient to outbursts! It's all the skills I learned from you!!"
"I'm better at application! Let's go, Healing Strike Fist!!"
"Gee!?"
Usato, who repelled Koga's attack, has green magic in his arm.
Seeing the light, Koga braced himself, and the next moment, a side kick from below hit him directly, knocking him away.
"Geha!? It's not a fist! Hey, it would have been a barrage of fists until the last minute!!"
"I got caught! There is also such a way to use magic power!
"Haha, ha! Oh, I've learned that too!!"
"What!?"
After that, the shape and quality of each other's magic, or rather, magical power, change instantly, and an unstoppable battle and defense are exchanged.
A lot of bargaining happened in this moment......
No, I can't keep up with my eyes now......!!
"Why is he so energetic......?"
"I don't know ...... either!!"
I mean, he was moving around so much with us a while ago...... Moreover, it should be consuming a certain amount of magical power, but .......
This is him...... No, is it the difference in ability between them and me?
"Oh my God, that healing wizard is bad."
「……」
"Damn, Wal is completely stretched ......!!"
Wal wasn't used to moving in detail, so I ...... that was just fatigue.
"Oh, are you guys okay?"
Kevin, who had finally recovered his energy to the point where he could sit up, was approached by a dark-haired, red-eyed woman who had been with Hannah, the former commander of the Third Corps, and Usato.
「…… Hannah, former Third Corps Commander?"
"I don't have a title anymore, so Mr./Ms. Hannah is fine, okay? I don't mean to be a corps commander anymore."
After crouching down to check on us, she stood up and looked at Usato and Koga in dismay.
"I'm not going to blame you because it's still at the training ground...... After all, even if you look at it again, it is acting strangely."
"Even though Usato says a lot of things with his mouth, he's similar to each other and I guess he's enjoying himself normally."
Listening to their conversation, he looks at Koga and Usato again.
I thought I had improved my skills through the training I had been doing until today, but it was all an assumption.
I wasn't strong at all, not at all.
It's unbearably frustrating.
「……」
"Mr./Ms. Nea? What's wrong?"
You didn't even have to be serious about us.
Even with the handicap of administering healing magic based on the efficiency of his training alone, he still couldn't bring out his true intentions.
"Did I say Elle?"
「…… What's that?"
A dark-haired woman calls out.
"It's just a small trick for him, isn't it?"
"What?"
"I guess we saw how much you guys can do first."
Kevin, who was listening, said, "It's a lie......
In response, I clench my fists as hard as I can.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to pass out by now."
"What are you threatening?"
"I'm just telling the truth...... Well, I'll warn you. You don't want him to feel that way, do you?"
The dark-haired woman, who mockingly said that she would see hell, leaves this place with Hannah, whose cheeks twitched somehow.
"Um, is that a threat now?"
"I tried to blast him a little bit, and he looks like he's got guts."
"Oh, yes, I was joking———
"No, it's not a joke, is it? If you make him serious, he's going to be in trouble.'
…… Excellent.
In other words, you don't have to be serious with us now.
Then I'll pull it out even if I want to.
Hell or whatever...... I'm definitely going to get over it!!
