Formation of a squad in the quest for the realm of demons.

They were to be recruited through recruitment in the city and started at the former II Corps training ground, where we have been training to this day.

Of course, you can stay overnight in a dormitory.

There is no specific period of time, but I was told that the training will be held here for about six months to a month.

The person who instructs them is Usato, a human.

Before I knew it, he was the vice captain of the squad.

It seems that the captain Koga went on a rampage by entrusting Usato's full authority over the training, but maybe that battle mania is a way for him to participate.

 

"Finally, this day has come......

 

And from today, full-scale training will begin with the addition of demon tribes who have been recruited.

The number of people who gathered was about 30.

 

"Oh, are you also participating?"

"It's dangerous, but I'm told you'll get quite a bit, so of course you don't take it lightly, do you?"

 

Those who are looking for money to live.

This would be the majority.

Rather, the soldiers who know about Usat don't bother to come here.

Because he understands how bad he is.

Wouldn't it make sense if former soldiers who are used to training don't come? …… I thought about it and asked yesterday———、

 

"Oh, I think it's better for him not to come if he's scared of my reputation, and he doesn't have to be scared again."

 

What's scary about this is that I know he's definitely going to do something.

Because of this, only a small number of soldiers were gathered.

But a small fraction of them are former elite like those of us who have experienced his horrors on the battlefield.

Among them, there was an unfamiliar face of the same sex as me, so I decided to talk to them for a while.

 

"You're an ex-soldier...... Right? It's a face you don't see very often."

 

The person who spoke to me was a female soldier who gave the impression of coldness.

From his appearance, you can tell that he is quite a talented person, but it is the first time I have met him because he belongs to a different place.

 

"You're the fastest El in the Second Legion."

"Hey, wait......!? I've never said my name, ......!?"

"I've heard rumors about it for a long time."

"Where's the rumor!?"

"I'm Vina, a former member of the First Corps."

 

That? Maybe you haven't heard of me?

I'm confident in my speed, but I shouldn'...... have said that!

Or the First Corps...... I thought it was a face I didn't see.

 

"Why did you participate in such a shady recruitment?"

"I saw it in the city the other day and got interested."

"Hey, when did you see it?"

 

There are times when I was running, when I was walking normally, and I wonder when I saw it.

 

"I'm chasing you around with a blue grizzly on my back."

"I don't understand why you decided to participate when you saw that scene......?"

「…… That being said, there are some interesting people gathered here, aren't they?"

 

I digress?

Wondering for a moment, she looked in the direction she was pointing to, and there was another slightly petite female soldier.

…… I hate to say it, but from the looks of it, I don't look like an ex-soldier......

 

"Nono Helestair, an elite of the elite who single-handedly stopped the Hero of Light in the previous invasion of the city."

"What, is she ......!?"

 

Speaking of the Hero of Light, he must have been a person who used a terrible magic called light magic that could make everything disappear.

I'd heard that he was fighting in a way that didn't take his life as much as possible, but I didn't expect him to go against it alone...... It's pretty amazing......

 

"I've heard that her anger frightened the heroes and boosted the morale of her allies, and in the end, she survived with her partner Hiryu."

"People don't depend on what they look like......

 

Then, perhaps noticing our gaze, Nono Helstea approached us.

 

"Oh, hello, what did you do?"

"No, I was talking about why I came here, and I thought we could talk about a lot of things because we are both former members of the corps. Oh, I'm Elle. I'm a former member of the II Corps."

"Oh, this is very polite, Nono Helestea. I was in the cavalry unit of the III Corps."

"I'm the same way...... Vina, I'm in the First Legion."

 

Introduce yourself again.

Oddly enough, the members who belonged to the first to the third group gathered.

…… He hasn't come yet, so I think we'll talk a little more.

 

"Why are you here?"

"I'm thinking of going on a trip, so I thought it would be a good way to earn travel expenses!!"

"Oh, that's fine, it's ...... to say that it's a former cavalry unit."

"Yes! With your buddy Hiryu!"

 

A cavalry unit that flies on the battlefield with a flying dragon.

I had heard that the bond between the soldier and the companion demon would be quite important in it, but from this appearance, it seems that there is quite a bond.

When you hear the word "travel", you may be a little jealous.

 

"And to escape from the healing wizards!!"

「「……?」」

 

I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you meant.

What? Are you trying to participate in the healing wizard's training in order to escape from the healing wizard?

…… Even if you think about it, it doesn't make sense.

Veena asks her if she wonders as much as I do.

 

"Mr./Ms. Nono, do you know what you're going to do here?"

"Yes! I'm going to train and explore the Demon Realm!"

"Oh, yes, I'm not wrong."

 

Oh, this kid joined without reading the application guidelines.

I never thought that I would come to the healing wizard on my own to escape from ...... healing wizard.

I can tell you here...... Hmm?

 

"Hehehe, let's see what the rumored healing wizard is like......"

"Rumors are rumors, I glanced at them, but they are exaggerated."

 

The murmurs of the two men pierce the gaze of the elite who have experienced the battlefield with us.

It looks like you came here for fun......

I'm sure they're not ex-soldiers, and they're from the countryside to work.

…… Those guys will be gone soon, and it's useless to worry about them.

 

"What, did you just say those people are healing wizards? You've misheard, haven't you?"

"Yes, you said Chimmatsuka-katta."

"What do you mean!?"

"It's a lie."

"Why did you lie just now!?"

 

Next to them, Vina and Nono are having a strange conversation.

 

「…… You're here."

 

A man in a white coat and a girl in a similar gray outfit come to the training ground.

Behind them are Hannah, the former commander of the Third Corps, and Kira, a dark wizard girl, who realizes that the time has finally come.

 

"It looks like you've gathered Mr./Ms.."

"Looks like it-"

 

To the healing wizard Usato, Uluru.

The appearance of the bad guy who imposes training on us makes the gathered people buzz.

 

"Wow."

 

Nono, who was beside him, made a choked voice with a straight face.

As it is, she starts to tremble and looks at Usato, who is standing in front of her.

 

"Nice to meet you, I'm Ken Usato, and I'm the one who has been assigned as the deputy captain of this expedition. From now on, we will train everyone Mr./Ms. so that they can withstand the tough expeditions."

 

At first glance, he seems weak and kind, but it is a trap.

It's just pretending to be a human, but what's inside is something else.

 

"Oh, Baba...... Oh, it's just a bear."

"Mr./Ms. Elle, Nono Mr./Ms. is about to pass out, is this okay?"

"It's okay, isn't it......? Maybe."

 

It's better to leave Nono alone.

It will return to normal eventually.

 

"Our captain, Koga, will be late due to circumstances, so we will introduce you to someone who can assist us in this training."

 

Then, Usato introduces Uluru next to him.

He has a unique human skin color and cream-colored hair, and he has a friendly smile.

 

"I'm Mr./Ms. Uluru, a healing wizard like me, and she'll cast healing spells on you."

"Hello guys, if you get hurt, tell me! I'll heal you right away!"

 

I used to think that all healing wizards were bad guys, like the mentor I saw on the battlefield with Usato, but Uluru ...... decent.

However, the unadulterated smile in front of us demons seems to be something sober, and it's scary.

 

"If you want to do something to her...... I'm going to make you taste the lukewarm punishment of hell, so that's what I'm going to do."

"'What?'"

"Now, I'd like to introduce you to the next person."

 

Wait, a ridiculous thud voice came out of her amazing radiant smile right now!

Damn it? Damn it, right?

I look at Kevin and the others next to me on the other side, but they remain immobile and don't show any reaction.

Damn, I'm completely trained......!

 

"She's Mr./Ms., and she's my assistant."

"I don't have anything to say, don't bother me...... Hmm?"

 

Hannah's gaze turns to Nono, who is next to us.

She looks surprised for a moment, and then looks as if she has guessed something.

 

「…… Well, good luck. I don't know what's going to happen."

 

I was sent a sympathetic look.

Next, Usato looks down at Kira, who is beside her.

 

"This kid is going to see the magic training because of a long request, but you don't have to worry about it, Mr./Ms.."

"Yo, thank you very much......"

 

…… I've thought about it many times, but he's so good that I don't think he's the same dark wizard as Koga and the Black Knight.

He can use magic normally, and his magic characteristics are unbeatable, so maybe he's the rarest person here.

 

"This training is expected to be quite grueling because the goal is to explore within the demon realm."

 

While he was thinking about it, Usato seemed to explain the purpose of this training.

 

"In addition to physical training, I would like to be able to teach everyone how to use magic more smoothly Mr./Ms.."

 

The only people who know how unusual it is are probably me, Kevin and Wal.

Even after watching him for a week, he still doesn't understand the principle of healing magic.

 

"See you then......

"It's more normal than I thought, healing wizard."

 

　……!?

He interrupts Usato's voice and gives him a look of disbelief at the man who made a mocking noise.

He did it...... With a sly smile on his face, he opened his mouth with the other person next to him.

 

"They called me a demon or a monster, but no matter how I looked at it, I was just a human."

"And it doesn't look that strong."

 

Shouldn't we get these naïve idiots out of here right now?!

Kevin, Wol, shouldn't we take action before the tragedy happens?!

 

"Mocking the captain? I can't forgive you."

"Excessive rant, anger"

 

It's no good! These guys could stop their breathing!

While they are going back and forth, the idiots bite Usato even more.

 

"I'm rather scared of the dark wizard next door, can I let you stay here? I've heard that children with dark magic explode."

 

Aside from Usato, even Kira-chan? …… These guys.

When she looked at Usato, Kira, who had her mouth tightly tied, grabbed Usato's clothes and hid behind them.

When I tried to move with my irritation with the verbal abuse of Keira...... Looking at Usato's face, which was still smiling from earlier, his body became immobile.

Usato's expression.

I realized that the smile was coming from a completely different emotion.

 

「…… ...... a hit."

 

Dangerous.

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!?

You're so angry! I'm still smiling, but I'm definitely angry!!

 

"It's roughly, the Healing Demon--"

 

Something sped past my face and hit the tree behind me as I was about to say something.

Everyone looks behind them before looking back at Usato, who is emitting smoke from the remnants of healing magic from his palms.

 

「「「……」」」

 

What, did you throw a magic bullet?

I don't know because I couldn't even follow the throwing swing with my eyes...... !!

Toying with a magic bullet in his hand that had made a small hole in the tree, he began to walk leisurely between us.

 

"At first, I didn't want to do this. Really."

 

In a calm tone, he slowly puts his hands around the necks of the two people who were saying stupid things earlier.

Where did the swagger go earlier, and the two of them looked bad.

 

"It's the first day, and I was just trying to get everybody to understand the flow of training and things like that. I did that when I was younger, so I tried to pass on my master's teachings...... That's it."

 

In the air filled with a strange sense of urgency, he still keeps his cheerful tone.

On the contrary, it was creepy.

 

"I didn't think you would say that a nasty girl is scarier. ———Hey, I think you guys think so too."

"~~!!"

 

No, wait...... Those two can't move!?

I'm desperately trying to escape to untie my arms, but I can't move because Usato doesn't tighten them and stiffens my arms so tightly that I can't remove them!

 

"yes, I've already stopped, I've stopped! I know you're skeptical of me! Well, I can't help it!! I haven't shown much of that side of myself in the past week! yes!!"

 

After nodding his head repeatedly, Usato finally frees the two of them and leans closer to the tree next to him that has hit him with a healing magic bullet.

He covers his face with his right hand and brushes his bangs.

 

「———」

 

The atmosphere changes.

In an instant, from a calm and friendly impression, Usato, who wears a carnivore-like atmosphere, glares and makes his eyes look bad.

 

"City, 20 laps"

"'Huh?'"

"Prepare for it, run as hard as you can."

 

Even we are taken aback by the preparatory exercise that is too unrealistic.

 

"You can't do 20 laps!!"

"Don't be silly!!"

 

Turning his eyes into something more vicious, Usato's back fist slammed into the tree beside him.

Buggy!! With a sound, the tree shatters and falls with a roar.

 

"Do it."

「「「……」」」

 

We ran out of the place without a word.

While heading in the same direction as if running away without a signal, the training up to this day is "play" for him.

I realized that it was.

 

"That's Usato the Healing Wizard...... Is it?"

"He's ridiculous...... It's going to be horrible from today ......!!"

"What, why ...... doing this!?"

 

As far as you are concerned, it seems to be self-indulgent, but .......

With a sideways glance at the half-crying Nono, he looks at Vina.

Is she Usato's true nature? I'm curious what you think of it.

 

"It was more than a rumor, and I'm looking forward to it."

"You're pretty crazy too......!?"

 

I came here on purpose, so it must be strange to be appropriate.

With that in mind, I looked forward———、

 

"And that face full of misery, unadulterated enthusiasm and words...... Very...... It's good."

"What?"

 

If you look next to her, she is as expressionless as before.

Are you ...... auditory hallucinations now? …… I'm sure I heard a voice that was so amazing that I couldn't hear it.

 

"Hmm? Woahhh Behind!! There's going to be something coming from behind!!"

 

Hmm!?

When we looked behind us at the scream, we could see that something was chasing us from behind us as we ran down the street.

If you look closely, you will see a familiar blue mass...... But.......

 

"Guoooo

"Keira, hold on!!"

"Yes!!"

 

...... Usato carrying a blue grizzly on his back with Kira on top of it?

I've seen them carry a blue grizzly on their backs many times, so why would they put Keira on their backs———、

 

"Don't stop!! Healing Magic Bullet!!"

""'Woahhh

 

Ugh, throwing healing magic at you from behind!

Our expressions were distorted with fear by the sheer power of the event, and we moved our legs with all our might and had to run through the city with all our might

_____________________________________________________

Demon King LOL case.

 

It was Usato, who began to get serious.

…… Maybe the point of view of Elle being trained will be the main focus during the training period.
