The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

"Well, ......, cheer up, Mr. Usato."

"Oh, I've never seen Usato fighting before, but it was awesome."

I was currently lying on the floor of the cafeteria to which I had been led after my class tour at the Magic Academy. The cafeteria of the school is a brick building with a fairly large space as it is called a cafeteria of the school. After finishing my lunch at random, I could take a short break here, but I still regretted my careless behavior in the mock battle.

"I don't know why I'm so unthinking ...... I'm getting tired of being so careless ......."

I think you two would be called heroes with great magic, but in my case, no matter how you look at it, my fighting style is not that of a wizard, and above all, my healing magic is not well-received.

It would not be surprising if rumors of my magic are rife with tails.

"It's the same for us. We didn't think it through, and that's why we had to leave ......."

"I let my emotions get the better of me. I'm sorry."

"Please don't apologize. I chose to participate in the event."

You two may have caused this problem, but it could have been avoided if I had just covered my tracks.

It is wrong to blame them for that. The question is, how will I affect this school? The only thing I can think of is that the girl who is a healer like me will get more attention.

...... I'll have to tell them about him first.

For now, I'll explain about the healing wizard Lucvis met in the park. Kazuki listened to me with a thoughtful expression on his face, but Inukami-senpai tilted his head with his arms crossed, as if he had something on his mind.

"What do you want to do?"

"Huh?"

"You want to help that healing wizard? Or do you want them to stop being tormented?"

It sounds like the same thing, but it is not.

The first is to make sure that we will not be harmed in the future, and the second is just a stopgap measure until we leave here.

"To be honest, I myself don't know. But I'm not a fool enough to let something like that go."

"...... Well, I couldn't keep quiet when Mr. Usato made fun of me. It's a little different, but it's pretty much the same thing.

"How can you say such embarrassing lines without batting an eye? ......"

"You're already a very important member of our team, so it's only natural that we should care about you."

He turns away, covering his mouth with his hand at the sudden words.

>I try not to make eye contact with Kazuki, who admonishes her with a teasing senior and <> with a wry smile.

Why does this unfortunate senior make such a surprise move?

It's too cowardly to do so out of the blue.

I turn my head away from her and look to the side, and then she seems to remember something and puts her hands on my shoulders with a kind expression on her face. What's with this kind of intertwining? Unlike before, I get the feeling that it's very troublesome.

"Oh, by the way, Usato-kun, I'm going to be at the place you're staying today..."

No, you can't do that.

"You could have just said okay with the flow of things! Look, I'm a good senior!"

Speak for yourself.

"Please be patient with the luxurious food and bedding at the inn."

"I don't want fancy food or beds, I just want to live with ...... fantasy!"

"Don't worry. You are a fantasy in your words and actions."

What's with you living with fantasy?

She let out a sigh of exasperation, and seeing that I was hard to convince, she suddenly stood up and grabbed me by both shoulders. All eyes were on me.

"Hey,...... please hold it down. I'm not trying to be mean to you.

"Kiriha said ask Usato!"

When did you make contact?

Was it during training! Either way, it's too smart.

And Kiriha is throwing everything she's got at me!

"Senpai, please calm down! Usato is in trouble too, so please stop!"

Kazuki comes to stop him.

In the past, this would have been enough to stop him, but this time he was not so lucky.

"I'm not going to stop, I'm not going to back down this time, I'm not going to ...... back down this time, hmm?

The senior who was holding my shoulder looked behind me and tilted his head.

I can only say that it's amazing that he immediately became calm after being in such a confused state a moment ago, but I wonder if there is someone behind him. I also turned my head in the direction he was facing.

"You seem to be having a good time.

"What are you doing here ......?"

Ms. Gladys, a woman with golden hair, and Ms. Welsey, who was standing behind her, looked at me and my senpai with curious eyes.

They sit next to Kazuki, who is sitting in front of us, as if they are looking for us.

I guess they are not here for ...... lunch.

I owe you guys an apology.

"Apologize? Why?"

I have no idea. Why should I expect you to apologize, Gladys? I think I should be the one to apologize for causing such a commotion.

She looked around at us once, not caring at all about the attention she was getting from the students in the cafeteria.

"Yesterday, right after you left, we gathered the teachers here to discuss an agreement with the Kingdom of Lingle against the threat of the Demon Lord's army.

Why is that an apology to us?"

Did something end badly for us?

"That's because ...... some of the teachers were negative about the content of the letter. They were skeptical about the existence of a brave man and wondered if the Demon Lord's army was that strong. I had my doubts. Many said that you are not worth believing, that you are here to protect the children of this country.

"...... We may be emissaries from a neighboring country, but we are strangers. We can't complain if we are suspected."

"But you know, that's all just a front. They had only seen the battle in the stories of the Demon King's army, and the Demon King seemed like a very powerful enemy to them. That's why they opposed him so desperately ...... but if the Kingdom of Lingle had lost the battle against the Demon King's Army in the last battle, the next country to be attacked would be the neighboring country of Lukvis."

That's true.

If you think about it, after the Lingle Kingdom fell into the hands of the Demon King, the Demon King's army that marched into the Lingle Kingdom would try to increase its power more and more using the Lingle Kingdom as a new base. I don't think that Lucvis, which has many inexperienced wizards who don't know how to fight, has the strength to fight.

I wonder if Gladys knew that.

"No amount of verbal appeals can convey the power of your people. I've decided to go to Wellesley and try something a little more unreasonable."

That's how you got us to participate in the students' training, right?

Were you aware of that?"

"When Mr. Usato was fighting, there were a lot of people in the building who were looking at him, so I kind of knew what was going on.

Is that what you meant by the demonstration I gave after the battle with Mr. Halfa? She is very reliable in such a situation.

However, I wish she would have told me such a thing beforehand. Even though it was necessary, it was hard to fight with Mr. Halfa, and I attracted more attention than necessary. ...... No, I think he's right about the attention: .......

Gladys puts her hand over her mouth as if to giggle at the senior's words. In contrast to this gesture, which shows her seniority, the atmosphere of the room suggests a kind of mischievousness.

"I'm sorry for deceiving you. But you have exceeded all expectations, and even the teachers who had objected have had to shut up now that they have a glimpse of your abilities. ....... I didn't think you'd be able to destroy something magically fixed with your bare hands.

I wonder if it's not normal to pull that thing out.

I knew that my strength was getting stronger through daily training, but I did not expect it to be this strong. I am now keenly aware of the importance of continuing with the basics.

As I was convincing myself in my mind, Mr. Welshy suddenly remembered something, tapped the desk, stood up suddenly, and looked at me with a desperate look on his face.

"Usato-sama! I told you yesterday! Adding more magic is dangerous! You're using that ...... so violently ...... wrong!"

"Well, Mr. Welshy, let's look at it the other way around. That's how I fight."

"Don't talk to me like Rose!"

I'm still okay with that because I haven't reached her dimension yet.

I decided to calm Mr. Welshy down and ask him some questions about what Gladys had said earlier.

"Did Mr. Halfa work for you?"

Yes, but not the girl who challenged you first. Only Halfa helped us."

Not the first girl. ...... So you're saying that Mr. Halfa saw that the girl had asked me to fight a mock battle, and he intervened. So was Kara in on it too ......?

From the way she is acting, it seems like she would give permission for anything even if she wasn't told about it.

"......I'm really glad we left it in his hands. If it had been anyone other than him, we would have been finished before we could measure his abilities. ......It's her man, he can't fly a person with a single fist without any assistance.

"...... haha, I'm not ready yet. The last training I did was more than ten times as hard as Halfa's. And if I dodged, they kicked me in the face. I'm not sure how unreasonable this is."

At first I thought I was going to die, but once I got used to it, I was fine.

I think it's probably because my brain is numb to the pain or something.

"...... so,so......"

"Usato-sama, you are ......"

Oh, I was just about to laugh.

I was hoping for a "Rose, how stupid can you be? Even Gladys, who had been smiling earlier, turned back to a straight face. And Welshy was looking at me with a look like <

"Wow, Rose-san. ......"

"Who is he, that man? ......"

Kazuki and his senpai also have their own reactions. I created a strange atmosphere even though I was not conscious of it.

"Oh, yes, Mr. Gladys. I have a favor to ask you."

"What is it? If it's not too much, I can allow it. ......"

"Not the Bullein ......, but the messenger I have with me? Can I let my demons walk in this city?"

"There are a lot of kids here who have their own messengers, so that's fine."

All right, you've got my permission.

Wait for me, Bulrin. Today is the last day you can coast. We'll get you running strong tomorrow.

I was a little excited to know that I would be able to train with her, but for some reason Ms. Welshy was reserved when I turned to her.

"Um, Usato-sama. Brulin is not a messenger, is she?"

"......Eh, is that so?"

Oh, my God.

So what am I supposed to say about Bullyn from now on? .......

"What do you mean? Wellsey."

"Well, Usato-sama, we don't have a contract with any messengers. Or perhaps it would be more correct to say that there is no need.

"No need?"

Does a messenger contract literally mean making a contract with a messenger? I don't know what you mean by "no need", but I don't know what you mean by "no need".

"In the case of a messenger contract, the blood of the master and the blood of the demon must be the medium of the contract. In addition, there is a strict condition that the demon must surrender to the master.

"What, do messengers have to go through a lot of steps ......?"

I didn't realize that the conditions for creating a messenger were so cumbersome, it wasn't something you could just write down in a contract and go.

I don't want to bring him to his knees, and even if I don't do that, he won't betray me.

"There is no master-slave relationship between you and Master Usato and Master Bulrin. Yes, ...... it may be more like a friendship."

"Wow, that's great. What kind of demon is ...... with a demon without a messenger contract?"

Blue grizzly.

"............ hmm?"

"? I'm ...... a blue grizzly."

For some reason, he asked me why, and when I answered again, Gladys froze. Ms. Welsey's head was in her hands as if to say, "I knew it. Why does it seem like something I said is funny?

I wonder at the unreasonableness of the meaning.

Uluru once said that blue grizzly bears do not easily get attached to people. Or is it because they are dangerous demons and can't be used as messengers?

"Well, if you're not in any danger, you'll be fine. Just be careful not to go on a rampage.

"Oh, I understand. I'll take him down if it comes to that.

"It's amazing how ...... I would normally suspect a lie, but when you say it, I don't think so. ......"

I heard Mr. Gladys mumbling something, but ...... I got permission to let Bullyn walk anyway. The training will be much different with Bulrin, we can use him as a weight.

"Senpai, Kazuki, what are you going to do after this?"

"Well, why don't we go to Bullein's? Now that we have permission, let's go see him."

I'm a little tired, so I'm going back to the inn. I'm a little tired so I'm going back to the inn.

Kazuki is going home first. I'm wondering why he said that after looking at me and my senpai alternately,...... but let's go see Bulrin like he said. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get to the inn to pick up my belongings before I go.

Well, that's why we're going back.

Yes, you can come back if you want. ...... Oh, and there's a monthly magic simulation in a week, it's a competitive test of strength and you'll get to see a lot of magic, so if you're interested come and watch."

"One week or ......"

"There is still a lot of discussion going on about the letter. I'm sure you'll be busy, so if you feel like it, why don't you come?"

A competitive mock-up, that sounds interesting.

We stood up, bowed to Gladys, and left to go outside the school.

Wait for me, Bulrin ......, don't think you can stay here forever.

Usato and the others are leaving the cafeteria.

I was watching them off with Principal Gladys, and when I saw that they were out of sight, I questioned her next to me.

"Is it okay if I don't tell you?"

"He was also troubled, and it would be better not to tell you now. The fact that his mock battle with Halfa had any meaning other than to convince the teachers is ......."

Of course, the purpose was to let the teachers understand what you are capable of. This plan worked out beautifully, with Suzune's overwhelming offensive power, Kazuki's precise attacks with his elaborate magic bullets, and Usato's combat fighting with his speed and power that is surpassing that of a human being, utilizing his healing magic at an oblique angle.

I did not expect him to make a disruptive attack using the lineage enhancement, so when he did it to Mr. Halfa, I literally felt a chill down my spine.

"............"

"We need a spark to change the mindsets of our power, magic, and race-obsessed students, Welshie. That's why I asked Usato, a healing magician, and Halfa, a magician's eye, to be the spark."

It was no accident that Mr. Halfa and Master Usato fought.

Normally, he should have had them fight against Suzune-sama and Kazuki-sama, who were stronger magicians than him, but Principal Gladys did not dare to do so, because she wanted her students to see their fight.

"......Healing magic can only heal and seeing magic can only see, these two types of magic have different systems, but they are the same in nature. That's why their battle was worth showing to the students, or rather to the people who live here."

A mock battle to change entrenched ideas.

I can say that it was very effective. The students who had been judging the superiority of powerful rare magic and the amount of magical power were forced to realize that those who wielded the magic they had looked down upon were far stronger than they were.

It is a forced method, but it seems to me to be the most effective correction possible.

However, it was heartbreaking to proceed without telling Usato and the others, even if it was partly for the sake of the letter.

"Hmph...... Usato's behavior is too unexpected. I can't believe that after all the trouble I went through to get you a place to stay, you ended up staying in a different place. ...... And you told me that this is where the beastmen live. ...... They hate people who live here, and yet they are so happy to be here. ......A truly strange girl......"

"Ah, ha ha ha ......"

She giggles as if nothing could be funnier, and Welshy lets out a laugh as well.

The sensibilities of these three people summoned from another world are truly out of step with their own perceptions. Their eyes light up like a child's when they touch this world and see everything they see.

Especially when we see Amako-sama, a ...... beastman, working with Usato-sama, we can see that she is really relying on him. It is a sight that we would never see under normal circumstances.

"I hope that he will change the wrong ideas of this country, because he does not avoid creatures different from human beings. I want him to understand ...... that any magic is a shining gem in the rough, that he should not waste the talent he has cultivated, and that people can grow as far as they want."

As the person in charge of this city, the eyes of Dean Gladys were kind as she said this.

She herself may have felt itchy to leave the responsibility to them alone, but she was the head of this city, and even if she wanted to improve the situation of the school, she could not do so carelessly because of her position as the head of the school. That's why she borrowed their help outside of the country---because she wanted to accomplish it even if she had to prove her power to them.

However, her gentle expression immediately changed to one of reluctance, and she restrained her hand on her forehead as if in distress.

"The problem is, I'm worried that the kids who saw today's simulation might do something ...... prematurely. ......"

After saying goodbye to Gladys and Welshy, Inukami-senpai and I left Kazuki in front of the inn and headed towards the stables where Bulrin, Amako, and the knights were.

In the middle of this, a very happy senpai was walking next to me, but I was worried that he might go somewhere with his eyes on some strange product as he did when he first came through here.

"The girl who is a healing magician like you was in the class of the underclassmen who were in the morning training, wasn't she?"

Yes, you were very surprised to see me. I guess he was surprised to see a familiar face with the same healing magic as his own, right?

"Maybe surprised is more like it, since you are so far removed from yourself, right? If I didn't know any better, I would think that you don't look like a healing magician when you are fighting. I guess you finally learned that when Kara said you were a healing wizard."

That's one way to look at it.

I am aware that I don't look like a healing magician, but I can understand that expression on her face if she knew me because of Carla.

But why was she in such a hurry when she woke up from her faint? Was it because he was going to be late for class? It seems odd, though, if you've been tormented for several years, you'd want to get out of a place like this as soon as possible. If you have any other reasons, you can find them at .......

"........."

No, let's not get our imaginations stretched too far.

I walk in silence, and my senpai senses it, too, and walks along without saying a word. It is late afternoon and the main street is crowded with people. People are whispering to each other about me and Inukami-senpai, as if they are whispering about us.

My group uniform stands out at times like this. It is natural, since it was made to stand out, but at times like this, I feel a bit bitter about its design.

"Your clothes stand out.

"Should I take it off?"

No, no, that's not necessary. I know that your clothes are not only fashionable but also meaningful. I'd rather wear them myself."

"No, you can't."

If you want to lend it to me, that's fine, but they can't make one just like mine.

It seems that none of these clothes have been made except the other one Rose is wearing, and I don't know what the material they are made of is made from.

I'm sure they are made of some strange fabric that is neither leather nor cloth, but...

"Usato-kun ...... ago"

"Yes?"

My senpai urges me to look ahead. I followed her and looked ahead, and there I saw a crowd of people gathered in a familiar alley. At the end of that alley was the square where the country's healing wizard had fainted that morning.

......I have a bad feeling about this.

Let's go!

"Oh, my God, Usato-kun!

Immediately, he rushes to the crowd in front of the alley and peeks into the alley through the people. What I heard was a roar, as if something had exploded.

Normally, there is no explosion. I tried to run away from the scene, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw a man who had gathered around the healer boy in the morning.

"Oh, you're that funny looking guy from the morning ......"

"What happened?

"Hic, oh, the morning guy is getting hurt again. ....... And more than I've ever seen before. ......"

Is it me or .......

I didn't expect such an uproar so soon, but if they want to take it out on me, they should have aimed directly at me. ......

The anger at myself that is welling up inside makes me calm down. First, let's get past these onlookers to the plaza.

"Senpai! I'll go first!"

Usato-kun!

We alternately kick the walls of the alley and jump over the onlookers at once. I can hear someone's startled voice below me, but although I'm calm now, I don't think I'm going to be quiet.

I land on the ground, and at last I can see the plaza.

In the square is that boy with the healing magic and --- that's the girl with twin-tails who challenged me to a mock battle at ...... the first time! And then there are the men and women who seem to be his cronies.

"If you're hiding your abilities, why don't you just let them out?"

"...... I'm not ...... ......."

A girl with an orange sphere in her hand, slightly different from a fireball, smiles wickedly at her group of cronies and shoots the sphere at the boy.

The boy, on the other hand, is lying on the ground in a worse state than he was in the morning. That expression ...... is out of magic!

What would happen if you hit him with magic while he's almost alive and out of magic. ...... Does that kid know that!

"Oh no, that's not good. ......!"

He hurriedly takes off his troupe uniform, wraps it around his right hand, and starts running as fast as he can.

I reach the boy in a few steps and wave my right arm wrapped around my trousers at the fireball that is approaching me. Instantly, the fireball explodes and a small plume of black smoke envelops me for a moment.

<>

But it's not much magic. It is not powerful enough to scorch a troupe's clothes, but it is powerful enough to cause serious injury if a person is hit by it.

I shake off the black smoke with my hand, put back on my troupe uniform, and turn to the boy behind me before the stunned group in front of me. As I had expected, the boy looks up at me as if dumbfounded, and I hold out my hand to activate my healing magic.

"I knew it, you're out of magic. ...... I'm amazed you managed to stay conscious.

"Hey, what's ...... with me, Ona ...... Ji ......?"

The boy, perhaps at his limit, passes out in the middle of casting a healing spell. He has light burns and a blue bruise on his face, probably from being hit by a ....... If you turn up his clothes, you can see his injuries as much as you like. .......

The problem is that he is a healing magician and he was injured beyond his ability to heal himself. How many minutes, or even hours, did he last? It is even possible that the mock battle started right after we finished.

"Hey, ......, don't do anything on your own."

First of all, let's heal everything, including fatigue.

If we are not careful, there might be an injury that will last a lifetime.

But how can you use magic so lightly against a human being? The knights I knew in the Lingle Kingdom had good morals. ...... I'm not forcing the students here to use magic for the sake of the country, but this kind of thing isn't right for a human being to do.

"Hey!"

"Oh ......?"

I responded in a slightly raspy voice, perhaps irritated myself.

The boy who had grabbed me by the shoulders and called out to me turned around, and when he saw my face, he lost his voice and backed away.

"If you don't like it, why don't you just tell me directly ......"

"Or, I think you're mistaken, ...... he and I are friends. You are not involved, can you please stay out of it?"

"Well, I don't care if ......... is..."

This is it.

I'm so screwed, I don't know what to do.

It would be better if we could just knock them all out and be done with it.

Don't be ...... too shortsighted. I look at them in front of me, telling myself over and over again to stay calm.

Five ......?

"Healing magic isn't just a convenient magic for ...... your exasperation, you know?"

I've learned.

Hell, pain and respect.

I've helped so many people with the magic she taught me.

And I'm not a sandbag.

"I'm not here for your stupid self-esteem in the first place. I, for one, don't give a shit if you're irritating or annoying on a regular basis. ....... Even if you are so ignorant that you don't know how much injury a burst of magic can cause to a living person."

"Ignorant, huh?"

You're a lickspittle.

Do you think I'll back down at the mere mention of the word "friend"?

You think I'm going to let you off the hook for that?

Do you think you'll be forgiven if you put on an innocent face?

"Don't get ...... carried away with a healing wizard who just followed a brave man..."

"My boss, a healing wizard, once said to me..."

Maybe I'm more prone to anger than I thought. Even in my original world, I rarely got really angry, and the only time I've ever been shown something this disgusting was when I saw a bad movie.

But this is just wrong. Anger that is clearly different from the one I felt when Ferrum tried to kill my senpai and Kazuki is spreading in my heart.

I put my left hand on the tree planted just nearby and exert myself. The part where I put my hand is distorted and the whole tree trembles.

"When you get involved with a person who looks down on healing magic, feel free to kick his ass," he says. That's exactly what you're doing. ....... Above all, friend is not a word you can use as an excuse to ...... get out of the situation."

A piece of wood is crushed into pieces and dropped onto the ground with a crack.

With that, the girl, who had been so bossy, drops back as if frightened. Her expression is tinged with fear of me.

"A healing wizard who just followed a brave man is a ......? Shall I put you all through the same thing as this girl? You little girls who can't do anything without a crowd. ......"

When they take a step closer, their faces turn even paler. Some of them even have tears in their eyes. I see this and slowly relax my shoulders and let the tension go.

......I think that if I scare them this much, they will be quiet for a while. My last line, which mimicked Rose's tone a little, seemed to be very effective.

I'm not mature enough to get emotional and raise my hand to a younger girl, and in my experience, once you instill fear in someone, they won't try to rebel. The next time he does something like that, he can bring Bulrin with him and do the same thing with even more fierceness.

...... But I'm not so sure I'd be willing to make a threat. ...... Is that the end of the matter, for now? Now if only I could get the boy who is passed out behind me to a place where he can lie down....

Calm down, Usato.

Hmm?

Finally, an older man came out of the crowd and put his hand on my shoulder to calm me down.

Just in time, now that the situation is under control, let's talk about where to take this girl.

"Oh, you're the senior? Just now..."

"You guys seem to want to make an enemy of healing wizards ...... at all, meritocracy has gone so far it's just a detriment."

But Senpai, without hearing my words, turned to the girls and said these words to them in a provocative manner.

Senpai, don't tell me you think ...... I'm really mad?

The senior member of the group steps forward in front of me in high spirits. The girl, who had been somewhat less frightened by the appearance of the more sane looking senpai, looked back at him with a miffed expression on her face.

"He and I are strangers. And we are in charge of the future of our country...so we can't touch you......... frustratingly... Don't ...... get me wrong, it's not us who should be taking you down."

Don't lay a hand on them, the older man says with a wry smile, as if to nail the girls who were trying to set the tone with those words.

I understand why you are angry, but I would be very happy if you could notice my confusion in the back.

"What the hell is going on?

"We're having a competitive mock-up in a week, right?"

"What! There's no way you can win! I can't believe you and your monster and your hero!

"Hey."

"Hi!

That's a funny reaction for calling me a monster. At least it's not a reaction to a person.

My skin has peeled back to reveal my lack of reserve. I may have been a complete enemy to this girl in the first place, but .......

I'm more concerned about what Senpai said about the once-a-month mock battle. I don't know what her intentions are, but unlike the mock battle during the day, aren't we not allowed to participate in the official school event?

"......... It's not me or Usato-kun who's leaving. It's the boy you were beating up earlier."

"...... is, huh? You think the guy lying there can beat me?"

Wait a minute......I don't understand what Senpai's intentions are at all......It could be a terrible one-sided game if we let him fight. The boy is out cold to begin with, and I can't say anything after I've threatened him.

The girl looked down at the fallen boy and glared at senpai, but she put a thin smile on her face as if she had no idea what was going on and indicated me, who was behind her, with her thumb.

"I'll make him stronger than you in a week. ---"In a week, I'll make him stronger than you... this Usato-kun."

"What? ...... Huh!"

Me?

Surprised by the sudden throw of the whole situation, I immediately turned to my senpai and spoke to him in a subdued voice to find out what was going on.

He said, "Wait a minute, what do you mean?

It's best to let the person himself solve these problems. I know it's a bit rough, but I can't think of a better way.

"That's true, but ......"

"And when it comes to healing magic, you understand it better than anyone in this city, so you're the right person for the job."

Train him? It's only seven days...... No, I can't do today and the day of the mock battle because I'm out cold, so it's really only five days.

I think you'd have to put him through at least as much hell as I did in order to train him.

But if you ask me if there is any other way other than ...... threats and this, I can't think of anything else. ....... Stand up to bullies on your own. In a way, this may be the most effective and most difficult way to stop a boy from being bullied.

Taking the silence as an acknowledgement, the older student turns around and begins to ramble on in an even more exaggerated manner.

You are free to take it or leave it. If you are afraid of losing ...... to him, the healing wizard, you don't have to ...... take it, do you?"

"Ha, just kidding. If he loses, brace yourself. ....... I don't care if he's a hero or an emissary of the Kingdom of Lingle, I'm going to make him ...... pay!"

> the girl said with a dismissive tone, and walked away with her giggling and sarcastic cronies down a different street from the alley leading to the main street.

All that was left was a group of onlookers peering at us, a boy lying on the ground, and us. I let out a sigh, thinking that I had gotten myself into trouble again.

"Well, I was in a hurry when I saw you losing your temper, Usato-kun. If you had touched them here, it would have been more than a letter.

"Hey!"

"Aaah!

At any rate, I'll give you a light hand to thank you for taking the liberty of talking to me. I know he was doing it out of the goodness of his heart, but I felt like I had to do it anyway.

What are you doing?

I tried to do it lightly, but he looked up at me with tears in his eyes and his head held back.

I felt something immoral, but I knew intuitively that it was a feeling I should not be aware of, so I explained without worrying.

"Senpai, I was angry, but I didn't mean to raise my hand.

"Huh? You looked ......,ha,ha,ha,...... terrifying."

"I'm thinking of lightly threatening them to stop."

..........

Well, I guess my acting ability was that great. I didn't think I'd be so much of a hit with the uninvolved onlookers, but...

But the proposal made by my senpai is still the one that will lead to the best result. The ...... problem is that this girl doesn't seem to be interested in the competition."

"I'm sorry that I made that ...... decision on my own, but I don't think it's any of my business."

"...... indeed."

It's only natural that you would feel the need to do something when you see the situation.

Especially if you are a senior staff member.

"I'm glad that the monthly competition is just as I imagined. If I had been wrong, I would have been greatly embarrassed.

"Why are you so haphazard about all of this ......?"

While being appalled at the senior's inadequacy in some areas, I check the boy's body for any other injuries.

No amount of healing magic can heal physical defects or mental wounds.

If he is out of magic power as he was just now, he might die if he is hit by an explosive magic.

......I have heard that there is nothing more terrifying than a child with a weapon, but it really is terrifying. They release magic that can hurt people with a smile on their face.

After making sure there are no wounds left, he picks up the unconscious boy and slings him over his shoulder.

"He's light."

The weight of the boy, which is out of proportion to his age, seems to express the suffering he has gone through, and an unknowable feeling wells up in my heart.

There are many ways to strengthen a healing wizard, ...... but first we have to make sure that this boy is willing.
