The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

In the exchange match, we were to showcase the abilities of the two heroes, Kazuki and I, and the technique of Usato, who had defeated the commander of the 2nd Demon Army, the Healing Rengou Kiken.

I would use a wooden sword to launch a series of super attacks on the target, and finally burn the target to the core with the lightning magic contained in the sword.

Kazuki-kun attacked the target simultaneously with his magic bullets, which were created by his excellent manipulation of magic power, and completely annihilated the target.

Both of them were so powerful that they could be said to be excessive, easily destroying the target, which should have been strengthened since the last time.

After Kazuki and I, there was Usato's technique, the Healing Rengouken, which in a way must have interested him as much as or more than us.

"Hang in there, Usato!"

"Yes, I'll give it a try."

After exchanging a slightly embarrassed high-five at Kazuki's raised hand, Usato heads for the third and final target.

I should have given him a high-five too. ......

I was so happy with the success of the move that I completely missed the thought of it. ......!

"Healing Fist, huh?"

"Usato told me about the principle of the technique, but ...... I couldn't quite picture it. Now I can finally see it.

Kazuki came back here and I stood alongside him and thought about the Healing Renga Kenshi.

Last night, when I explained this technique to him at the inn, he replied, "This is not the right kind of magic for a lifeguard corps. This is a feat in which, while in close contact with the opponent, he strikes him over and over again with the impact created by the outburst of magic power.

And since the shockwave is released while the fist is tightened, the impact will be immeasurable.

When I heard his story, I knew that this technique was certainly not a technique that should be used against human beings.

"But, on the other hand, ...... it was a good enough opponent that I had to use it."

"So ....... Usato also said that he didn't want to use it as much as possible."

Koga Dingal, Commander of the 2nd Legion of the Demon Army.

He is a black knight ...... and a demon who deals with the same dark lineage as Ferrum.

He was fighting on the same field as Usato who has tremendous physical ability, he must surely be better at physical combat than Kazuki and me.

While I was lost in my thoughts, Usato-kun started to do some preparatory exercises.

"Welshy, are there three targets in total?"

"No, I have prepared five targets in total, just in case. However, one of them is no longer available at .......

"What? Why?"

"Before you arrived, Prince Kyle mistook it for a training target and unleashed his magic. The target itself is not damaged, it's just stained with soot, but I've taken it down in case there are any flaws.

"I see. ......"

Prince Kyle would do .......

I mean, Princess Nia was hitting the target with her magic while she was out of sight.

That would make her mad. .......

"But Usato seems to be going from a very distant place."

"Oh, sure."

The distance between Kazuki and me in front of the target was about ten meters, but Usato was staring at the black target from about thirty meters away.

Is he going to make a running start?

"What is that healing wizard trying to do?"

"!　...... Prince Kyle."

I turned around to see Prince Kyle casually approaching me when I heard a voice behind me.

I immediately looked at Princess Nia, who was bowing her head apologetically, as if she had arrived before I had time to stop her.

"You have explained your technique in such an exaggerated manner at the meeting. I wanted to see it as closely as possible with my own eyes. Do you mind if I take a look from here?"

"...... No, as you wish."

I don't mind either.

Unlike Kazuki, who responded with a beaming smile, I was a bit dismissive.

I was not inclined to welcome him because he had a look that said, "I'll give him a good scolding if he does a poor job.

"If it's doing its preparatory exercises, you don't think it's going to destroy it with its bare hands, do you?　Even my magic couldn't scratch it. ......"

"Ha-ha-ha, Usato will be fine. I can vouch for his ability.

"Oh, I see. ......"

Kazuki replied cheerfully, and as expected, Prince Kyle looked away somewhat awkwardly.

He must have been puzzled by the straightforward words of Usato, whose trust in him is at its highest level.

"It's not that I doubt the words of the brave man, but I still don't believe in this healing fist thing. I don't really understand what it means, and the principle of the outburst of the system reinforcement that my sister told me about is too crazy.

I don't doubt that feeling.

The technique of daring to cause the outburst of the lineage reinforcement ...... is a very dangerous technique, though I named it as "lineage blasting" for the time being.

He is performing this technique with a cage hand, but he is doing it with a nonchalant face, even though he has a cage hand. I don't know if he has no sense of danger, or if he had some ordeal that he had to go through to overcome it, but ...... his technique must be in the same <> as mine and Kazuki's.

"Usato took a stance: ......"

"!"

Kazuki's voice brings me back to myself and I look at Usato.

He had deployed a basket hand that covered his right arm seamlessly, and was holding it as if to draw it.

Everyone in the training area, as well as myself, looks at Usato's behavior.

As soon as he slowly fell forward, he accelerated without warning with the sound of something popping.

"Gone!"

Prince Kyle seemed to have lost sight of him, but I could see his movements as I was in lightning beast mode, specializing in speed.

At the moment he started to run, a burst of magic power erupted from his cage hand, which was pulled backward, and he accelerated rapidly.

Probably, it was the healing acceleration fist that was mentioned in the morning training.

He did it with each step on the ground and reached the black target with extraordinary speed,

"Healing Fist!"

He shouted, and as he passed by the target, he slammed his fist, which had been speeded up even more by the acceleration fist, into the upper half of the target's body---in that instant, the target burst into a thousand pieces, and his fist was swept away without resistance.

"---What?

He skidded to a halt on the ground and looked back at the target, letting out a stunned cry.

The black target that had been hit by his healing fist was ...... blown away as if the upper half of its body had exploded, leaving it a horribly disfigured figure.

The people of Samaritan, Nirvarna, and Calm Helio were upset by the sheer power of the Healing Fist.

The students, perhaps because of their previous reputation, were saying, "It's back even worse than before! They are saying things like "He came back even more dangerous!

"No, what?　What is that, it's not healing magic or anything. I mean, it's got the word 'healing' on it, but what's the point of that?

Prince Kyle, who is watching nearby, also seems to be confused.

However, Kazuki and I had expected this to happen, in a way, and we are proud of ourselves.

"Healing Fist. I didn't expect it to be so powerful."

"The name of the technique is just as good as the name of the technique. But it's different from what you explained yesterday.

"Oh, by the way, it's supposed to be a technique to hit multiple outbursts of magic at close range, but ...... it's a little different."

Meanwhile, a somewhat awkward-looking Usato-kun comes back to us.

Hmm?　But he is holding the remnants of a black target.

Sweating profusely, he approaches Welshy, who is looking absent-minded, not us.

"Mr. Welsey, ...... sorry."

"...... is!　I'm sorry, I was just letting my mind wander. Well, why are you apologizing?"

That wasn't a healing fist.

What?"""""

I, Kazuki-kun, and Welshie's questioning voices leaked out.

Seeing the reaction, Usato's face turns even paler, and Welshy asks him a question.

"......What does that mean?"

"The truth is,...... the truth is?　I was going to hit him with my fist in an accelerated state and hit him with a healing fist strike at the same time as the impact. But the target was softer ...... than I had imagined and couldn't withstand it, and it broke with almost only one blow, so I don't know if I can call it a ...... continuous strike fist... ..."

"......"

Mr. Welshy?

Oh, no!　Welsey's about to go blind!

I quickly put my hand on her shoulder to bring her back to her senses and follow her.

"Wellsey!　Luckily, you still have the target on you!　Maybe we can use it again!"

"...... what?　Yes, that's right!　It's still okay, it's still okay. There should be no problem with the progress of ......!　Hang in there, I ......!"

Welshy said to herself, and with a somewhat grim look on her face, she went to tell them about the new target and that Usato-kun was going to do the continuous fire fist once again.

After feeling relieved, he turned to Usato-kun.

"Usato, you sure that wasn't a healing fist strike earlier?

"Yes. I thought it was a good opportunity to really unleash my technique, and if I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it with all my might. ......

"Oh, I'm going to go all out ......."

Certainly, from what I have just seen, it would be of little use in a battle.

I mean, if Usato-kun did it as hard as he could, would it be like that?

"But I never thought that I would unintentionally create something like a new technique.

"New technique?　The same technique as before?"

"Using the healing acceleration fist to move at high speed, he enters the pocket at once and slams his fist into it, striking an outburst of magical power at the same time as the impact ...... to name a few."

He put his hand on his chin and pondered for a few seconds, then opened his mouth with a proud expression on his face.

"A one-strike healing punch. The healing punch of the healing punch.

"!?!!"

Wait, it's full of elements like "depth" and "kata" and so on...

I can forgive Usato-kun just for the cool name of the technique!

I don't know what to forgive myself for, though!

"So, Rengage Kenshi is a different technique.

"Next time, I will not rearrange the moves, but will just go ahead and do them as they are. I can't trouble Mr. Welshy, can I?"

Usato nodded at Kazuki's words.

But how could you easily destroy a reinforced target with a technique that you had developed by accident?

To the grown-up Kazuki-kun and I, magic is soft enough to feel, but the way Usato's technique broke the target, it was more like he was forced to explode it with his arm strength rather than with magic.

I am looking forward to ...... to see what the real Healing Renga Kiken is like.

A few minutes later, a spare black target was prepared and Welshie informed the people in the training area that he would once again demonstrate the Healing Rengage Fist.

Once again, Usato-kun moved in front of the target and came close enough to reach the target without taking a distance from it.

As he had declared, this time he moved directly to the healing fist without running.

"......Good."

Taking a small deep breath, he grips the shoulder part of the black target with his left hand and lightly places the part covered by the basket hand on his abdomen.

He moved his left leg forward and sat back down, his eyes as sharp as a hawk's. He took a small, deep breath.

The people in the training hall are quiet at this quiet start.

"Healing strike, fist!

At the same moment that Usato muttered, a sound as if something burst from the cage hand that was tightly attached to the target.

The impact from the outburst of magic power seems to be extraordinary, and the target has cracked with just one blow.　

However, that was not the end of it. He fixed the target, which was about to be blown away, firmly with his left hand, and turned his head down and hit the target with a relentless outburst of magic power.

"I see...a defensive penetration by a series of blows concentrated on a single point. So that's what you call the Healing Rengou Kiken."

"Surely, with a technique like that, even the demon tribe would be unable to stand a chance. ......"

"......"

Prince Kyle, who is near me and Kazuki, seems unable to utter a word as he mutters this.

The Healing Blink Fist was an impactful technique, but the Healing Rengage Fist was even more so.

When the target was split in half by the seventh impact, Usato-kun finally lowered his right fist.

The target that had been hit by the seventh impact was still in a worse shape than the first one, but it was still in a state of disrepair. The entire target was covered with cracks, and the part that had been continuously impacted from beginning to end had not even retained its original shape.

I should say, it was a shocking technique in many ways.

In the still silent training room, Usato-kun came back to us, scratching his cheeks as if he was troubled.

"I'm glad you kept your magic power. I should practice adjusting the amount of magic power.

"Usato."

Hmm, what is it?

But, but...

I was happy that I had broken Prince Kyle's heart, but I was most happy that he had grown up and felt that he was fighting alongside me and Kazuki.

That is why I, as a senior and as your colleague, would like to send you a word of encouragement.

"You are a man who will never betray my expectations!

"What?　Thank you very much.

He's embarrassed!　That Usato?

Well, then, you just have to keep on making a good impression ......!

"With Usato-kun, we're a hundred strong!　Or maybe even a thousand!"

"...... huh?"

Why do you sigh there, Usato-kun: ......!
