The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

The senior pulled our hands, and her legs did not stop, but kept going in a straight line until they reached near the entrance of the school.

As we looked around the school, we saw Mr. Halfa coming out of the entrance without any sign of him, just like when we first met him, so we immediately walked up to him near the entrance and talked to him.

"It's been a while since yesterday, Mr. Halfa.

Good morning, Mr. Usato. I heard that you stayed at a different hotel yesterday.

I was fine. ...... just in case."

?"

I can't tell you that the landlord cursed me out and almost attacked me.

I give a wry smile back to Mr. Halfa, who tilts his head while keeping a smile on his face.

"Hmmm......... Well, I'm glad to hear you're all right. Well then, I guess Inukami-san is waiting for you too, so I'll show you around right away.

I follow him, relieved that Mr. Halfa does not seem to be suspicious and turns around to start showing me the way.

We pass through the same plaza that we saw yesterday, but perhaps because it is morning, it is a bit deserted without the students that we saw yesterday.

Maybe they have classes at a certain time, like in the school in our old world.

I wonder what they are teaching.

"I thought you were talking about magic and its applications."

"That's part of it, but there are many other areas of study besides magic, such as martial arts and academics. Some of the graduates are adventurers, knights, and scholars, so they are given the opportunity to study these fields.

It's more like a college than a high school. .......

It's amazing that the system is the same in the original world and here, where you learn what you want to learn according to your career.

After a few minutes of casual chatting in the school building, we came to a corridor lined with wooden doors with plates engraved with the letters of this world. Mr. Halfa, walking ahead of me with a thoughtful expression on his face, spotted one of the doors and turned to look at me.

"In this room here, the basic course of magic is being taught, and this is the first class for those who come here to learn magic. Of course, I also took this class."

"I'm interested in what it's like because the basics of magic...... me and my seniors were taught the basics by Mr. Welsey."

I don't know how I learned. I only remember that I was running all the time. ...... I think Rose told me to "feel the magic while running" when she was training me to use magic.

Now I don't understand how I came to be able to use magic.

"But unfortunately ...... the place you are looking for is not here, but to observe a class I belong to."

"Halfa's?"

"Yes, my class is having a practical training in magic today, and I was wondering if you could observe or participate in the training.

"Do you mind if we join you? It might get in the way of the training, you know?"

"It's okay, the headmaster has given his permission."

Kazuki and Inukami-senpai may participate, but not me. Practical training of magic is supposed to practice the offensive power of magic. My healing magic can heal, but it can't destroy.

If physical attacks are possible, I can punch and kick, but that's not magic, that's just violence.

"Usato-san, are you not going to participate?"

"I'm ...... you see, healing magic. It doesn't make any sense for me to go out there."

"I see... ...... too bad."

Why the obvious pouting? You felt a little guilty when he became so depressed that you could see it.

What does he expect from me, a healing wizard? ...... I am what I am, a wizard who can only run, hit, or heal.

It's time to show what you can do,...... Usato-kun."

Inukami-senpai started to say such a thing proudly at this point.

As usual, your words and actions toward me are outrageous, which is a relief in a way.

"That's why I can't use magic like you and Kazuki. All I can do is punch and kick ......."

"...... I think those punches and kicks are too evil. ......"

I thought I heard a senior mutter something, but I didn't quite catch it.

......No, I actually heard it. I know how to take it easy.

But I don't really want to show my magic-based techniques to those who use the royal magic, because they are no different from physical attacks.

"Hmm, I spent a little too much time. Shall we move on?"

With a regretful smile on his face, Mr. Halfa turns around and begins to walk to the end of the aisle.

I wonder why he looked so disappointed when I told him that I would not participate in the practical training of magic, even though he would rather watch the training of the brave men Kazuki and Inukami-senpai than me.

Could it be that there is a reason why he wants me to participate ......?

"You're reading too much into it. ......"

I can't find any reason or value in letting me join.

"I guess I'm just being self-conscious." I smiled as I walked with Kazuki and my senpai behind Halfa-san.

The scenery changed from a neat passageway to the outside.

We moved from the school's entrance to a large plaza, where we were finally able to witness the school's .

Instead of a scene of individual magic flying freely as we had seen in the school's plaza, the students of the school, the wizards, were shooting their own magic at the designated targets.

<>

The boy I saw first shot a fireball from his hand and hit a white target the size of a log on the ground in front of him, sending sparks flying, while the girl practicing next to him put her hand on the ground and sent sparks flying from the ground.

It was not as free as the square I saw yesterday. The spirit and everything is totally different.

"～～～～!!!!"

"Senpai, I know you're happy, but please don't hit me."

It's hard to be a senior now.

It's so hard that I don't even need to tell you what's hard.

He was so elated that he was on the verge of screaming, and he looked at my face and hit me on the shoulder, appealing to me for something. To tell the truth, it's very depressing.

"Kazuki, do something about this senior ......"

"Ha-ha-ha, that's impossible. You can't. Good luck."

You don't have to say it with such a happy smile. .......

As I was being irritated by my senpai, who had been abandoned by Kazuki and was still excited, Mr. Halfa turned around and led me to a place where I could look over the students training at the school.

This is the class I belong to. But today is a joint training day with the lower class students, so not all of you are my classmates.

"Underclassmen? ......You're right, some of the kids are a size smaller than others. ......"

Indeed, if you look closely, you can see children who are about two or three years older than the others observing next to those who look like upperclassmen.

"...... hmm?"

At the edge of the square I saw a familiar face practicing magic. Are those ...... Kyou and Kiriha? Were they in the same class as Mr. Halfa?

Kiriha thrust out her hand armor and shot multiple blades of wind to slice the target, while Kyou created a large blade of wind different from Kiriha's by kicking up his leg equipped with a leg armor, and slashed the target diagonally.

"Kaze ka ......"

I looked at them casually, thinking how cool they were, and Kyou over there noticed me, too. He was surprised, but not from a distance, and he called out to Kiriha, who was standing next to him, pointing at me and making her face towards me.

I waved to Kiriha as she turned to face me, and she gave me a small wave back with a stunned look in her eyes.

"Do you know them?"

As I turned toward Kiriha and the others, Mr. Halfa, who was standing diagonally in front of me, asked me such a question in a surprised voice. I answered, "I know them," trying not to read too much into it, and he looked at me admiringly for some reason.

"Kyou and Kiriha rarely get involved with humans, ...... so I'm quite surprised, to be honest. They just treat me like crap when I try to talk to them.

Is that how it is in the academy? ...... Well, it's not something I should get involved in.

I tried to look at Kirija and the others without thinking about it, but the older student, who had somehow regained her composure, tapped me lightly on the shoulder.

"Those two are Amako's friends?"

I guessed he was trying not to let Mr. Halfa hear, so he whispered to me, and I responded in a hushed voice.

"Yes.

"Nice animal ears. Introduce me later."

"No, thank you."

I smile and answer immediately. I can't let you, who is always in high spirits, destroy the trust I've just gained.

"Why! Why, Usato-kun!" While I was having such an exchange with a senior student who grabbed my shoulder and shook me, a woman dressed differently from the students came running up to where we were.

"Halfa, you brought me!"

She is tall and looks like a teacher.

Mr. Halfa stood at an angle and turned toward us as if to introduce the woman who had come up to him.

"This is our teacher..."

"I'm Kara."

She reminds me of Rose in a manly way. No,...... she doesn't seem as rough as that one.

"I've heard about you from Principal Gladys. Welcome from the Kingdom of Lingle. Have a good look around today, and if you're interested, you're welcome to join us. If you are interested, you are welcome to join us. You have been on the front lines of the battle against the Demon King's army, and you may be a good inspiration for our students.

"Stimulus? We're not that kind of ......."

"I know that Halfa and the headmaster here have a good eye. And your magic master."

Kara looks at me after saying "master" quickly.

Wow, she seems to know Rose ......, I thought, not in a rough way, but definitely in a friendly way. I'll try to put a good face on this guy, if I piss him off he might iron claw me like Rose did.

d*mn, I have to be bound by the spell of Rose even though I'm in a neighboring country. ...... but it's frustrating that I don't hate it that much.

I should introduce her to my students before I do that,......."

While I was fainting inside, Carla turned around behind me and said, ">I raised my voice so loudly that the whole plaza could hear me. At her voice, the students practicing on the playground gathered in front of her.

They looked at us strangers strangely.

"It's a joint training with the underclassmen, but three wizards from the Kingdom of Lingle are going to observe today. Don't underestimate them because they are not students here. They are stronger than you and are used to real battles.

The students tensed up, but there were a few stinky glances ...... among them, and the majority of those glances were directed at me. Let's just say that Kyou is also looking at me that way.

In fact, anyone would wonder why I, an average looking guy, would be in the middle of the beautiful Kazuki and his senpai. In fact, I'm not sad at all since they are stronger and more experienced in actual combat than I am.

>

I heard such a voice among the crowd.

What time are you talking about yesterday? If it's daytime, that language is malicious. As expected, I received suspicious stares from several students who misunderstood the meaning of <>.

"Did something happen yesterday?"

"There was a misunderstanding. ......"

Kazuki, who is standing next to me, answers my question while holding his forehead.

I guess you could call it rust ...... from my own body, but in that situation, it's no wonder that someone might have seen me, and I'm glad that Senpai and Kazuki didn't have any suspicions.

---But the relief was short-lived.

But my relief was short-lived. I heard such a voice coming from one of the lower classmen. A girl with twin-tail hair, whose voice was young and high-pitched, but who still looked at us as a suspicious-looking person, raised her hand and said to Ms. Cara, "I'm sorry, I don't understand.

When Ms. Kara saw the girl, she clicked her tongue and held her mouth.

"...... little girl."

In a voice just barely audible enough for me to hear...hey teacher.

I got a chill just like Rose's when I heard that voice. What ...... was that dusky voice that sent more chills down my spine than that piercing look of suspicion? Kara, you're scaring me.

No, Kara's scary doesn't matter right now. ......No, it doesn't matter, but ...... this situation is a little awkward, and what's awkward is that the first person you want to make a move in a situation like this is... -He's not...

"I don't care! Okay, let's do it! Where do you want me to cast my magic!

"......... ha ......"

You made one mistake, girl. You have made one mistake, girl. You have legally incited a brave young man with an extraordinary passion for fantasy into training.

Kara-san's forehead was involuntarily held back as she saw her senpai stepping forward with enthusiasm, smiling broadly as he loudly gave his permission for her to participate in the training.

The content of the training is simple: to hit a white log-like target that is resistant to magical attacks with magical attacks.

I thought that this training would be no different from ordinary magic training, but this training was a little different from what I had expected.

"Well, this wooden sword is a bit difficult to use. ......"

"It's specially made to withstand magic, so bear with me if it's a bit hard to handle."

Magic with weapons.

Anything is possible, whether it's with a fist, a sword, or a cudgel. Of course, it might be easier to understand if you think of it as a projectile with a high degree of freedom, since it is possible to use only the power of a single attack with magic.

If you remember well, the students here could hurt the target but could not destroy it. They must be so strong and resistant to magic.

The senpai standing in front of one of the targets set up in the training ground, and the students behind him waiting for the senpai to perform his magic, among them are Halfa and Kiriha.

And a little further away from the students are me and Kazuki.

"Hey, Kazuki, ......"

"Hmm?"

"Senpai, do you want to go easy on ...... ......?"

"...... will do it, he was our senior."

I would have been relieved if you hadn't said that while looking away from the scene before you.

"But I think ...... senpai couldn't forgive Usato for making fun of him, no matter how he did it."

"...... senior staff members are ......."

I was a little touched that my senpai would come out for me .......

He turns his hand with the wooden sword around and around, gushing out electric shocks, and looks at Senpai who is readying himself triumphantly.

"No, wait, wait!"

Impression is good, but it is not an answer that senpai is allowed to train without any restraint. I tried to call out to him to at least take it easy on me, but he was already running away.

"Shoo!

She rushed toward the target with a light running start and instantly came within a stone's throw of the target, and then she thrust her wooden sword, which was covered with electric shocks drawn like a bow and arrow, with great vigor.

The students who were watching the performance did not seem to understand what was happening because she was so quick that they mistook her for lightning, but they finally understood that she had attacked the target when the older student pierced the target with the wooden sword.

>

No wonder one of the students sounded so crazy.

Even I, who had just finished training with Rose, could finally catch it.

"It's not over yet!

What did he think? He let go of the wooden sword he had thrust into the target and jumped backward. The wooden sword still retains the magic power of the electric shock that Senpai seemed to have sent to it, and it is still discharging even after it leaves his hand.

Senpai, who had retreated backward to some extent, held out his open hand to the wooden sword with a proud expression on his face, and then...

"An extra blow!"

With words that seem to be a decisive statement, he turns his open hand into the shape of a finger gun and shoots an electric shock from the tip of his finger, hitting the wooden sword directly. The wooden sword that received a direct hit from the electric shock emitted a blinding electric discharge, as if it were going to explode.

When the dazzled eyes returned to normal after a few seconds, the target and the specially made wooden sword that had been there a moment ago were transformed into charcoal. .......

"........."

It's too much!

I've been silently watching this for a long time, but who told you to go this far! Or rather, what was that horrible technique you just used! If a person gets hit by that thing, there won't be a trace left!

While the surrounding students were speechless at the sight before their eyes, the senior student himself was nodding his head with his arms folded as if he had accomplished something, ignoring the bewilderment of those around him.

"That's the brave man from the Kingdom of Lingle, he's more than I expected. ...... how about you guys? How would you like to follow in her footsteps and break a few of our students' noses?"

In the silent training hall, Kara-san walked toward Kazuki and me without showing the slightest sign of surprise, and said something like that to us.

"I don't use that kind of magic. ......"

"In this training, anything goes, whether it's swords or bodywork, as long as magic is used. No one would normally try to smash a target with their bare hands, but ......."

This is completely obvious.

But my intention is firm, I have to do it after my seniors and with how much the bar is raised. I'm not going to do it. ...... I'm going to ask Kazuki to appear here instead of me.

I'd rather have Kazuki go instead of me. It's more flashy than my magic."

"Well, I think Usato is flashy in many ways. ...... Well, if Usato doesn't want to go, I'll go instead. I've always wanted to try it.

I'm starting to feel bad for Kazuki, as if I forced him into it. .......

But how can you call my magic flashy, when it doesn't explode or have any power, it's just plain. As I wondered what Kazuki meant by flashy, I saw that he had been given training instructions by Ms. Kara.

"Okay, if you're going to do this, use the target next to Inukami. You can break it as well as Inukami.

"No, this time I ask only for magic."

Kazuki walks to the target without a wooden sword like his senpai.

Inukami Senpai came back to replace Kazuki. She had a satisfied look on her face as she approached next to me, attracting the attention of many students.

"Next is Kazuki-kun or ...... Usato-kun is not going to appear after all?"

"Too high a hurdle, you want me to shoot that target?"

"...... hmmm, it can't be done, can it? They're like paper compared to the blue grizzlies and demons we saw in the forest."

It's hard to know how to react to such an outlandish example. First of all, I didn't shoot a blue grizzly, and the demons didn't shoot ...... Ferrum as well, although they did beat him to death with a healing punch. I may have ...... well have shattered her armor, though.

"......oh."

Kazuki stood in front of the target and, without warning, produced three balls of light about the size of a ping-pong ball made of magic power.

The students were even more excited about this powerful and rare light-based magic than they were about their seniors, but Kazuki was concentrating on operating the balls of light, and did not look away from his palm.

"Hmmm, I've never seen that before."

"Are you trying to control magic remotely? ...... Interesting idea. It's an interesting idea. It's a good example for our students who like to shoot like crazy."

Kara admires the light ball that Kazuki is handling.

For my part, I am amazed that it is possible to remotely manipulate magic. I've always thought that Kazuki's light and my healing magic light would dissipate if I detached it from myself, unlike things that exist like fire or lightning,......, but I wonder if I can make it fly if I try hard enough.

It would be useful to be able to heal people in the distance like a healing magic bullet.

<

Kazuki waves his hand and sends a light bullet toward the target.

The light ball still seems to be under Kazuki's control, and flies awkwardly but surely toward the target, and then stalls above it.

<>

Kazuki saw the light bullets stalled upward, and as soon as he grasped his upraised hand and swung it down, three magic bullets rained down on the target below at a tremendous speed.

Kazuki's technique was not as flashy as his senpai, but rather rather seemed rather plain. But it gave me the impression that it was even more dangerous than his senpai.

After all, the light bullets that landed on the target did not explode or explode, but pierced into the ground (・・・・・・) as if hollowing out the target.

"It seems that Kazuki-kun has found a way to compensate for his weakness after his battle with the Black Knight. ......"

"......... yeah,......"

What a pair of ghastly tricks you two have devised!

The magic performed by the two heroes---it was enough to awaken their suspicion, and they all looked at Senpai and Kazuki in awe.

"I didn't mention it, but ...... these two are the brave men of the Lingle Kingdom, strong men who have passed through the ordeal of fighting the Demon King's army. ...... and the other one, of course."

You had to bring me out here.

All eyes that had been focused on Senpai and Kazuki were now focused on me.

<>

What a terrible thing to be told.

It's partly because I'm the only one who hasn't performed magic, but I wonder what it's like to be called such a blah blah blah just because of my appearance. Fortunately, Kazuki, who came back here, does not hear my voice.

>

At last, such a question came to Ms. Kara.

She looked at me with a sideways glance, holding her forehead. I guess she knows how these students will react after ...... my magic is revealed to them, and that's why she has such a troublesome expression on her face. .......

I guess it is the reaction of the students that is troublesome, not me at all. I'm sure he understands what it means when he knows that I'm Rose's disciple.

"Huh. ......"

It can't be helped.

Once Senpai and Kazuki have revealed their magic, there is no choice but for me, the only one left, not to reveal it. I can't help but let out a sigh, but I guess it was inevitable when I came to see this class anyway.

You can't hide it from me. .......

I let out a sigh, straighten up the collar of my trousers, and take a step forward.

"I'm a healing wizard in the Lingle Kingdom's lifeguard corps.

Now, what kind of response will I get?

I've grown up in a world of unreason and abuse, so a little taunting won't hurt me a bit.
