　The first day of training at NAC was not so bad.

　The first problem was physical fitness. This will be addressed in the next four days, and we are not looking for him to be fast. We are looking for patience and endurance to keep moving continuously, and ultimately to develop that part of his body.

　And the most important part of his body, the healing magic.

　It seems to be difficult for an unaccustomed wizard to use healing magic while running, and even Nack was struggling with it. In my case, I was forced to learn to run and feel magic at the same time, but now I think I understand the meaning of it. For him, who is accustomed to healing magic to some extent, it must be very difficult to exercise it while running.

"Well, if you get used to it, you can manage it to some extent. ......

　Early in the morning of the second day of training, I was standing at the edge of the Luxvis Academy training ground, looking at Nack who was being chased by Bulrin, and thinking about the results of the current training and the points to be improved.

　Amako is sitting on the ground next to me, wearing the hood of her cloak. She had been with the knights in the stables for the past few days, but now that Bulrin had been sent out to train, she seemed to have gotten bored and had come to watch me and Nack train.

"Ha-ha-ha, how can he be decent? Because he's the leader of the group.

"And Usato, who is trying to use it as a last resort, is not sane either. ......"

　Don't be rude, he trained me more than yesterday, I don't even know the magic word. I mean, he kept moving my legs endlessly, fainting repeatedly while healing magic couldn't even cure fatigue.

　Compared to that, I'm a gentle man.

　Amako, who is sitting next to me standing up, looks at me with a pitiful look.

"Hey, don't talk as if I was crazy before I learned magic.

"I can only assume that you were crazy from the start when you finally overcame such an absurd training."

　Oh, I'm not crazy, am I?

　But I was training so hard that my memory is a little hazy, and I think I was in a pretty rough spot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　......Well, let's put that aside and switch to the knuckleheads. I turn my attention back to him, who is running to escape the gaze of Amako, who is still looking at me with pity. I look at Nack, who is breathing hard and being chased by Bulrin.

　Nack is slowly slowing down. Bulrin sees that Nack has visibly slowed down and is trying to take it easy by slowing down to an unnoticeable degree.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. The enemy of training is to take it easy.

"Nack, you're slowing down! You're not having a good time! If you're a Hexenbiest, show us what you're made of!

　He shouts angrily at Bulrin as he warns Nack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For some reason, the one who had gently warned him, Knack, had tears in his eyes and was breathing heavily, and his running speed increased rapidly. Bulrin, on the other hand, gave a carefree cry of "Yes, yes, I understand," and started running at the same speed as Nack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the end, both of them ran as fast as they could, but why did Nack run as fast as ......, if not Bulrin?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I was craning my neck, Amako, who had her hands on her head to restrain her ears, looked at Nack running as fast as he could and muttered to me in dismay.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"To be honest, I was surprised. I'm really pulled. Usato is trying to be nice, but from Nack's point of view, it's natural for him to be desperate because of the possibility of that thing being directed at him. ....... That's the way it's done, Usato. How many times have you surprised me on this trip?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What kind of convincing is that!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was nodding my head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm glad that ...... was able to motivate Nack in the end.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At worst, it is no problem to run at any pace. Unlike Ferrum, Nack is a healing magician, so even if he faints in the worst case, he would be able to heal himself unconsciously by activating his healing magic. It may be natural for him to grow up like that considering the environment he is surrounded by, but it is not enough that it works automatically.

"The result we are looking for in these five days is to get him accustomed to strengthen his physical strength and to be able to use healing magic at the same time. ...... Amako, can you predict while running?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"In a manner of speaking. But in my case it is a magic that requires concentration, so even if I could do it, I would only be able to see a little bit ahead."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I was trained to use magic while running, so I don't know about that part. So tell me. Is the training I'm asking Nack for now wrong?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"........."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Amako growls in annoyance at me as I ask this question without taking my eyes off Nack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"To be honest, I don't know, it's unprecedented. All I can tell you is that it is wrong for a ...... healing wizard to train a wizard who is not supposed to fight to fight. But the results that Usato is looking for make sense, even though his methods are harsh, unreasonable, and crazy. ...... unreasonable and crazy, but..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You don't have to tell me twice!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You've been pretty harsh before, haven't you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Still, it's enough that you don't say it's unprecedented, or that you've never ...... been able to do it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then let's keep doing it. Training never betrays you, and I am the one who understands it best.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, I'll just have to do my best.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now that we are in the right place, the training ground, I'll try to apply the healing magic I've been thinking about since yesterday while paying attention to Nack.

What are you going to do?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I thought I'd see if I could make the healing magic fly."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Can you make the magic bullets fly purely, not like Kazuki did yesterday, where he manipulated them in all directions to attack his opponents?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You may wonder what I am going to do with the ability to make the light of healing magic fly, but my answer to that question is simply that I would like to explore my own way of using healing magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"There is an unrelated magic that throws a ball of magic power, is what Usato is trying to do something similar?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Something like that. I always deploy healing magic on my body in the form of a covering. Inevitably, when I heal someone, I have to get somewhat close. So I thought if I could hone my skills to send some of the magic flying, I'd have a lot more at my disposal."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What I am currently doing with healing magic is that I am covering my whole body with healing magic like Nack who is running now, and I am healing my body's fatigue one by one. In contrast, what I am going to do now is something that Rose probably did not intend to teach me ...... or did not need to teach me in my present condition.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If Rose were here, I might be able to get her precise advice, but as she is not here, I have to seek it by myself.

　I close my eyes and slowly raise my right arm to release the light of healing magic. I am proud to say that I am more skillful than others in handling magic power. I gather the magic power in my palm and form it into a sphere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The release is the same as when you use healing magic, all that remains is how close you can make it to the sphere you imagine. .......

　Kazuki created a magical sphere of light around him.

　I imagine a beautiful green sphere. There is no need to add more magic power as in the case of lineage reinforcement, just gradually join the collected magic power together...

　I can feel the solid magic power in my palm.

　A sphere floated in my palm just as I had imagined.

　It was not as difficult as I thought. What? I thought it would be more tame. ....... I turned to Amako questioningly and she let out an exasperated sigh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course. ...... It's fundamental to being a wizard to have a sphere of magic at hand. Humans and us beastmen are no different in that basic ....... It would be strange if we hadn't been doing it until now."

　It's basic blasting is the basis of healing magic. .......

　I look at the sphere in my hand while looking away from Amaco. Floating in the air, it moves to follow the movement of my hand.

　...... Okay.

"What?

"Tsk."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I tried to use the healing magic sphere on Amaco, but he jumped back just before the sphere touched him. Amako took some distance from me and turned to me, a look of surprise on her face.

"Did you just try to push it on me ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't know what you're talking about. Do you think I would do something like that to you? No, that's impossible."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You clearly had a tongue lashing, and who else but Usato's healing magic could make my body suddenly glow green in the future ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Your body glows green ......?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I see, so it will heal for the amount of magic power contained in it when it hits, this is very convenient. The healing magic that recovers may heal faster than the healing magic that radiates, but since this sphere is accumulating, the amount of recovery is constant, but that makes it possible to apply a first aid level of healing magic to the whole body in an instant.

"Oh no, I'm sorry. Somehow the magic in my hand seems to have flown towards Amako.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mh......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Anyway, now that I've succeeded in getting even with Amako, I'll move on to the application. It's been a while since I've had a chance to get back into the groove with my former world's bad friends, so I'm personally very happy about that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I laugh and laugh off Amako's glare at me, and look at the target about ten meters away from me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, you can make it fly if you move it in such a way that the magic power is released.

　Then, he thrusts out the palm of his hand, and tries to shoot out a ball of magic generated in his palm. After all, the manipulation of magic is a matter of image, feeling, and familiarity. If you operate it in the same way as usual, there should be no difficulty in shooting out the magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Just as I had planned... Pow! The magic bullet is released with a characteristic popping sound.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The magic bullet is released from his palm with a moderate force, and he can't help but let out an exclamation of admiration.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh ...... oh?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The magic bullet, which was released with great force, slowed down as it moved away from the target, and by the time it reached the target, it had slowed down considerably.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The result was the same even after several attempts: the bullet decelerated and disappeared with the light at the same time as it was fired.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

".........Why?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Usato doesn't seem to be very good at releasing magic."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Is there something you're not good at, or is this ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Here comes the fatal flaw exposed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm not that good at flying magic,......, but the initial momentum was certainly great, and the initial momentum was just the momentum of sticking out my arm that made it go faster. What's that, too much conceitedness? .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wait a minute. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The only initial momentum is my outstretched arm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, can't I manage it with some force? There is no need to shoot out from a restrained position in the first place. The fact that I do not have the talent to cast magic in the first place is enough to close off the path to growth in a proper way. Then, why don't I just use my own methods to bring this sphere up to a practical level?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, by brute force.

"Usato, you should give up on this because it's just a matter of your talent. Usato is already strong enough.

"Yes."

　He concentrates his magic power on his hand again and forms a sphere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He clasps the floating sphere in his palm as if to wrap it around himself, and swings his upper body away from the sphere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't need the talent to fly magic, I'm not that good to give up on such a thing! He swings his arm down and simultaneously throws a magic bullet toward the target.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, ......!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ehh..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sphere of healing magic that he threw at the target did not decelerate and hit the target with tremendous force --- instead, it flew backward and hit another target without decelerating, scattering a green light.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The thrower's aim is not so good. Well, I wasn't much of a ball player in my original world, so it's no wonder my hit rate is low. This is just another case of training, I guess.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I exhale and look at the place where the magic bullet hit. It's about 20 meters away from the target, or it may hit a target a little farther, depending on the target. Though it won't be able to hit a target too far, since I'm throwing a magic bullet without any weight, relying on my arm strength.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's perfect."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Throwing weightless magic power. ......"

"This is my own technique, a healing magic bullet."

　Amako, who was shaking her body like a metronome and muttering to herself in a daze, laughed at him and turned her attention to Nack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is still running with Bulrin as before, but he stumbles and loses his balance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I leap forward, keeping my eyes on him as he is about to fall, as he would if he were running at that pace. I close the distance between us and support Nack, who has fallen forward.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Are you okay? Nack."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Huh ...... huh ...... sorry, sorry ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have not run out of ...... magic power, so it is natural to assume that I have lost the concentration to exercise healing magic due to exhaustion. I put my hand on his back and cast a healing spell.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His color gradually improves as he breathes heavily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Is it still difficult to do healing magic and run at the same time?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes,...... it's not impossible. But if I'm not careful, it unravels quickly. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......It's just a matter of getting used to it. I didn't learn it overnight either, so let's not be hasty and be careful. There are still four days left.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It could be said that we only have four days. Worst-case scenario would be to have him use his healing magic only when he is injured and let him concentrate on evasion by letting his physical strength do the rest, but that would leave too big a gap while he is using his healing magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... if he doesn't make it in time.

Nack is doing a good job. At least he has taken time off from his important studies to train. I'm sure his commitment to training is genuine. But no matter how serious he is, there is always a worst-case scenario.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I was at a loss for what to say to him, he let out an exclamation and looked around the entrance of the training ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I turned to see a girl with distinctive twin-tail hair smiling at Nack, who was being supported by me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That distinctive hair, Meena or ....... I wondered if she was going to practice magic in this training ground, but she turned on her heel and walked toward the inside of the school, smiling at Nack.

"You're just here to chill out, what a girl!"

　You have a bad personality. And to just watch and go home, is it a sign of confidence that you can win without doing anything special?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Either way, it doesn't change the fact that I don't like it. Quietly calming my anger, I pick up Nack's healed body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Nack gets up, he holds his face with one hand and turns his back to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"He's always like that. He taunts me, taunts me, taunts me. But he's more ...... magical and everything than me, so I can't say anything back to him. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Nack, don't worry about it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I do care. Because we weren't like this ...... before, before we were kicked out of here. ......It's just healing magic, but we've all changed, we're different. I don't want to be in this place, but this is the only place I can go back to. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... no place to go back to?

　Does this mean I have to go to Luxembourg?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I tilted my head at his words, but Nack spun the words regardless. I could see the sadness in his expression as he spewed his words at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Usato-san, will this training make me stronger? Can you beat ...... Meena? I really ...... don't know how I could be such a..."

　Nack realized what he was saying and suddenly fell silent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After a moment of silence, Nack opens his mouth as if to mend it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sorry. I said something I didn't understand. ...... Please don't mind what I said before."

"No..."

　I couldn't help but hold my mouth as his back was turned in thought.

　I was surprised at myself for almost spontaneously saying, "You should be training instead of worrying about such things.

　No, I've been poisoned by Rose. It's too much to be merciless to him who has so many things to deal with.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Taking a deep breath, I erase the devilish words that just popped into my mind and replace them with gentle words to rebuke him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's not whether you can win, it's whether you will win. And Meena is underestimating you. This is not a bad thing for you. The more careless you are, the more open you are. The only way to gain the offensive power to exploit that opening is to train your body. So let's ...... work hard."

　After forcing him to his feet, we push him out and make him run again. I look at the back of Bulrin and Nack running in front of him and suddenly think.

　I wonder if this is what Rose saw when she watched me and Bulrin training together.
