14-11 Departure




 It had already been six months since I switched from training as a healer to training as an instructor's apprentice.
 At this time, I had completely forgotten about Botakouri. No, I didn't have the time or the luxury of thinking about it.

 When one is slashed at a speed that one cannot perceive, and when one is slashed through thin skin, surprise is followed by pain, and one is terrified of being hurt.
 But if they could perceive it, it was at speed, and when the thin skin was slashed, the body would first freeze in fear of being attacked, and they would feel strong pain because they knew they had been slashed, and they would be surprised at the skill of accurately slicing only the thin skin.

 What I'm trying to say is that when I think about it that much, I ask Instructor Brod.
"Instructor Brod, why do you slash your arms and legs when you're defending yourself?
'Because in six months you've only been able to see my attacks because you're flabbergasted.
 Instructor Brod turned puissantly to the side.
'Don't be jealous of your apprentice's talent. Besides, it's not pretty when an old man does a pui.'
 I chuckle.
'Well, let's let that old man cut you down for another hour, shall we?
I'm sorry.
I immediately regretted it and went down on my knees.
I regretted it and got down on my knees. It's almost noon, let's get to Gruger.
Yes, sir. Instructor Brod.

 I could feel my body slowly changing over the past six months.
'Oh. You were faster than usual today.
Yeah. He didn't want me to cut him down, so I had to.
Normally, you don't want to get cut down.
 However, as usual, there was no change in his daily life.


''By the way, when you came here you were a little long, and now you've gotten a lot bigger.
That's for sure. If I'd been training like I am now when I came, I'm sure I'd have chopped my arm off by mistake more than once.
Please don't say anything horrible.
'I don't think anyone will notice that Luciel is a healer when he walks outside anymore.
Well, normal healers don't train for combat like Luciel does.
'It's too late now. And I've been getting cut by Instructor Brod every day lately, so my fear of blades has faded considerably.
"...doesn't that usually freak you out?
'There were a couple of times I got slashed by mistake, but I didn't die, so at least I was confident I could survive.
'Sometimes he'll grow up or try to give up on an attack suddenly, so sometimes I'll cut him off, but that one really gets me in a hurry every time, too.
''...As expected of a master/student combination of a dominant zombie and a demon instructor. Your thinking is out of control.
'Aside from the devil instructor, please don't be a dominant zombie.
"I'm the devil's adviser. I'm teaching you nicely.
"...and...
Why are you looking at me like that? Enough! All right, Grouger, get on with your lunch.
Yes.

 Thus it was time to eat lunch.
''Luciel-kun. It sounds like a letter from the guild headquarters of St. Schuler's Church.
 Nanaella brought me a letter.

'Thank you very much, Nanaela.
 When I received the letter, it was undoubtedly a letter from the guild headquarters of St. Schuler's Church.
''Yes, sir?''
'Even I don't know much about the Healer's Guild. Open it up and read it.
 With that being said, I opened the letter and found it contained a surprising

 A letter of resignation
 St. Surur Church Healers Guild, Meratni Branch, orders Luciel, a member of the Meratni Branch, to be transferred to the headquarters of the Holy City Surur Church as a staff member of the Holy City Surur Church.
 Although it's unusual, the decision was made after receiving a recommendation that he has the talent, hard work, and strong will to save lives that led him to V holy attribute magic at a young age.
 Considering that he is currently seconded to the Adventurer's Guild, he was promptly transferred after the end of his secondment period in the following year's sixth month.
 Pope Fuluna Alludery de Schleur.

You wrote something about a transfer to church headquarters.
He's down. I can't believe they're doing this to me.
What do you mean?
'It's Botacouli. I knew you wouldn't go out there and that the Adventurer's Guild was protecting you, so I decided to send you to headquarters.
Why?
It wasn't your life he was after. He wanted you to be the cure for this guild.
That's why you're moving to headquarters so quickly?
Yeah. And to make sure I don't come back soon, the Pope's name on it should give me some kind of position.
''Does that mean........promotion? Is this like a promotion?
You will. That's not how it works, man.
Excuse me.
'It's inevitable. Fortunately, we have six months to go, so from now on we're going to see more and more patients who need to be healed, along with Spartan training.
Yes, sir.
Check your status and skills once.
After being told that, I immediately checked it out.
 Then I saw that I had mastered parallelism, shortened chanting, swordsmanship, shield techniques, spearmanship and archery.

 At that moment, I was so happy that all the training I had done over the past six months was not in vain.

 From the next day, he used a huge number of recovery magic every day as the guild also lifted the guild's halted light population and number limits regarding healing.
 After healing to the point of almost running dry every day, Object X was brought in. Object X restores a little bit of magical power, so the days of drinking it and then healing it continued.

 Combat training was the same, but I hadn't noticed that the concentration of Object X was actually gradually increasing.
 Thus, while I was still at level 1, I acquired numerous skills and was sent to the Adventurer's Guild to complete my one-year term.

''Well then, everyone, thank you very much for your help. If it wasn't for this Adventurer's Guild picking me up, I wouldn't have had such a productive time. Thank you so much.
I think I speak for all of us when I say. You have done well. You have saved the lives of so many adventurers, many of whom didn't have to stop adventuring, and many of whom didn't lose their families because of you.
Thank you, sir.
I don't like damp. Here, it's a parting gift. Keep it. This one's leather bag is full of gold. This one's a cheap bag, but it's a magic bag and can hold anything up to ten pieces of equipment. There's also some equipment inside for you to use. This is a token of everyone's appreciation.
I don't know what I'm supposed to do, but... That's all there is to it.
 Oh no, I can't do this anymore. I've been doing this for me, and my tear glands broke down with my smallness and everyone's warmth.

'Don't cry. As long as you come back one day and work for the guild on the cheap, that's fine.
Don't forget to bring a souvenir.
I left the Adventurer's Guild in a harmonious mood after Mernel-san laughed at me for saying that.

 I will now set out on a journey in a carriage owned by the Adventurer's Guild.

''Well then, gentlemen, I'll be looking forward to your escort for the next few days from today.
I'll take care of it.
We'll take care of it.
We'll take out anything that comes our way, except for the dragon species.

 The ones who gave me a reliable reply were Bazan-san and the others who accepted my request for an escort this time.
'I didn't expect to be escorted by an A-ranked party, though.
'Luciel saved my life, you know. And it's because of you that I was able to get to the A-rank. This request for Luciel's escort was fought over, you know.
Bazan, the wolf-beast man, laughed as he said that.
 Looking at them, I suddenly thought about how stereotypical they were, how different they were from the image of adventurers I had felt when I came to this world, and how strong the stereotypes were.


''First, I'll go to the Healer's Guild at St. Schuler's Church to go through the renewal process, so please hold on for a moment.
 I get out of the carriage and enter the Healer's Guild.

 It's still quiet inside~ I proceed to the counter while thinking about that.
'Welcome. Welcome to the Meratni branch of the St. Schuler's Healers Guild.
"Mr. Krull, if you would like to renew your membership, please hand over your card.
"What? What? Are you Mr. Luciel?
'Yes. Didn't you notice that?
'I wouldn't normally notice it. You used to flutter around, and now you're more mature and stocky.
''I see. Oh, I'm being transferred to renewal and headquarters this time, so I've been asked to get a magic book?
Oh. So it was you who was going to Headquarters, Luciel? Is that you, Luciel? You just turned seventeen, right?
Yeah. Oh, they say it's the most unusual thing in the world.
Sigh. That was so unexpected, sister, I'm tired.
''Haha. Well then, I'd like an update and a spellbook that isn't covered with a spellbook, please.
'That's not necessary. Every healer who goes to HQ receives a spell book that can be bought up to the AAA rank.
That's great.
You think so? But the fact is, as soon as you get up to grade A, you're allowed to sell them.
Why?
It's because after A rank, you won't be promoted unless you contribute a lot to the guild. It's like a kind of honorary position.
I see.
''Then I'll update you as soon as possible. ...Hahaha, it's amazing that you're going to headquarters at such a young age, you can even get up to an A grade.
Then you can move up to grade A.
All right. Okay.... Yes. Now, Luciel, you are a Grade A healer. Please wait for me.
 Krull-san excused himself and went to the back of the room and immediately brought me a number of magic books.
This is all of them. You don't need to pay for this spell already, and since you work for the headquarters, you won't need to make any more offerings.
'I see. Then I'll see you again when I come back to this city.
'I'm hoping you'll be great and raise my salary.
Haha, I'll do my best. I'll do my best." With that, we left the Healer's Guild without a word.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. I'm sure you'll be glad to see me.
 Thus, after two years in the city of Meratni, it was time to leave for a new place.
