The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

It's been a long time since I visited the Kingdom of Lingle ......, or rather, over several hundred years, and surprisingly little has changed.

In a world that still discriminates against subhumans, no one frowns when they see me, in fact, they welcome me with open arms.

Once again, I regret a little that I could not bring Hisago here at that time, but I am going to live here in the Lingle Kingdom.

During my stay, I will be staying at the lifeguard's dormitory where Usato lives.

It was the only place where I could stay without any worries, even though it was a place that had been decided by a momentary intrusion and insistence of the me inside me.

The first few days in the Kingdom of Lingle were quite difficult, as I was asked many questions and told many stories in the castle.

I was a bit scared, especially by the grim expressions on the faces of the scholars, including Welshy.

"---It's been a long time, Kannagi."

"It's been a long time, Mr. Farga. You have aged well."

"Rude as ever, my dear?"

And there's Falga.

He is older than when I saw him before I was sealed up, but his presence has not changed at all.

I spoke with him through a magical tool that imitated the fountain in the hall, and as I should have expected, he asked me about my soul, which had been transformed by the power that Master Farga had separated from me as an armor.

You exist not as me, but as a unique soul. Then you are neither I nor Kannagi, but a life with a will. There is nothing ...... to say."

After that conversation, the me inside me said I had a question for Mr. Farga.

She seemed to be serious, so I made her switch her consciousness and mine, and my mouth started to move on its own.

Farga. Why is there such a thing as the Fountain of Kreja?"

"......"

"Was that something that existed in Mearaq in the first place?　Is it something that you have to protect so much that you yourself can't leave it?

"......"

"Prediction of parallel worlds. And it was only after Usato visited Mearaq that he learned of the existence of the mysterious Kureha Fountain. Farga, where did the Fountain of Kureha, ...... the fountain that makes people go mad, come from?"

Her question makes Falga silent for a while.

There are other Lloyd kings here besides me.

If he keeps his mouth shut, it means that this is not the right time to talk about it.

"I can't say it here. I don't know what's (...) listening."

"...... got it."

Then she withdrew and withdrew inside me.

Falga looks at us as we regain control of our bodies.

"The world moves, people, subhumans... and those who lurk on the other side of the world that the young man has sealed and unleashed.

"...... him again. ......"

I can guess most of it from those words alone.

Hisago's despair and hope for the world.

The mixture of these two elements is now turning on the people who live in the present.

"This is not only a problem for human beings. It is a complicated matter, but the Demon Lord is on our side now. Let's let him help us.

You are the one who speaks?

"...... yeah. It's very, very complicated.

I can tell by the look on your dragon face that you don't like it very much.

Falga and the Demon King used to be like water and oil.

That's understandable.

But I guess it's necessary, so I have to leave it to them without any further comment.

The negative legacy that Hisago left behind---a test for those who live today.

I do not know what it is like, but I must do my best for the people of this age.

I do not know what it is like, but I must do my best for the people of this time period.

After the talk at the castle, we return to the lifeguard's quarters.

On the way back, I meet the so called "tough guys" of the lifeguard squad, who are running around as usual.

When they see me, they stop and...,

""""" Good work!　Kannagi no sis-o!!!"""""

--- Such bowing and voices come flying in, as if a shockwave is about to hit them.

Since the incident with Mr. Rose, they have been calling me strange names.

When I was holding my head in my hands, the strong-looking people called out to me.

Kannagi's sister!　What's the matter?

"Shall I go get that idiot Usato?

"Wait! And don't call my sister ......?

The tension was too much.

I'm an animal and these people don't care a bit.

They generally tilted their heads at my words.

"But, you can't call her 'sister' if she's so tough to fight with the leader."

"I'm younger than you. ......?"

"We don't have a seniority system or anything like that."

If you ask me, that's not true. .......

But why is he always so quarrelsome with Usato?

...... Oh, that's right.

Is Usato in training right now?

"Is that that son of a b*tc* Usato?　He was running in just now, but I think he's at the training ground now.

Training grounds.

When I thank them, they reply with a cheerful smile.

I move to the training area where Usato is, confirming once again how different a place the lifeguard corps is.

"It really is training every day, isn't it?"

<>

That's what the part of me that's inside me mutters.

Unlike the two heroes, Usato does not have any particular talent for fighting.

Nor is he unusually physically strong like me.

He is forced to use healing magic to keep growing, and he keeps getting stronger by force.

If there is anything unique about him, it is his mentality.

He is unbreakable.

He never gives up, no matter the situation, no matter how hopeless it is.

His out-of-the-ordinary spirit of steel has finally led the Demon King to admit defeat.

"I hear so. Ha ha ha ......"

We did not see what kind of training he was given by Ms. Rose.

But if he is the one who has achieved what no one else has---to create a healing wizard like Rose, it is truly something that no ordinary mind can even surpass.

<>

"What do you mean?"

<

"We weren't serious about each other, though."

Although the degree may be different, it is still true that if you take it seriously, as Mr. Rose does, you will destroy your surroundings.

Therefore, it is still fresh in my memory that I had a handshake with Usato with a light heart.

In his unassimilated state, he skillfully manipulated the baskets on his right arm to repel all the swords I swung at him.

His extraordinary reflexes and the strong defense of his kagote made me feel as if I was dealing with an impenetrable mass of iron.

"Oh ......"

As soon as they enter the training area, they find Usato.

He seems to be training near a stone rectangular weight near the entrance.

I decided to call out to him right away and approached him...but upon closer inspection, I found that he was not standing, but standing on his head and doing one-armed push-ups?　He was doing one-arm push-ups while standing on his head.

"No, no, no!　Knuck, you can still do it!"

"I'm still okay. ......!"

Okay, ......!　Almost there!

He slowly bends his right arm, which supports his entire body, back to its original position while calling out to Nack, who is doing push-ups normally next to him.

Moreover, the fact that he has a weight wrapped around his body shows that this is no ordinary training.

"Yeah. ......"

<>

What a training method, just looking at it is usually exhausting. .......

I wonder how much time I spend on it, though I guess I can do it too.

I felt bad to disturb him, so I decided to watch the training from a distance.

"Nack, if it's too hard, you can take a break, okay?"

"Well, I can still do it!"

"I can still do it!" "......

Usato casually casts a healing spell on Nack-kun.

We watch them train for a long time......,

<>

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

Yes, it shows no sign of ending.

As for Nack-kun, Usato is often sending healing magic to him, so we know that he is training while recovering, but Usato is not using any healing magic on himself at all.

However, Usato is not using any healing magic on himself at all, and yet he is doing endless inverted pushups.

"Okay..."

"Oh, finally..."

"Now the left arm."

"......"

Just when you think it's over, the left arm comes in and you can continue again.

After the same amount of time, Usato finally returns from the inverted position.

I was somewhat dusked, thinking that this was amazing in many ways, when Usato noticed me.

"Mr. Nagi. I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you.

"Oh, yeah. ...... Nack, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, thank you."

"Good job, Nack."

Usato smiles calmly as he casts a healing spell on Nack, who falls to the ground, breathing heavily.

...... still doesn't look like he used healing magic.

"Aren't you tired, Usato?"

"No, no, I used healing magic, I'm fine."

"......E, when?"

"?　Just now."

.......

Could it be that you healed yourself with healing magic so quickly that even my eyes couldn't notice it?

"No, I didn't notice."

Haha, maybe it's thanks to the magic spinning. Thanks to this, I feel that the efficiency and speed of distributing magic power throughout the body has increased dramatically.

Usato then shows me his hand with a magic bullet floating on it.

It moved from the index finger to the middle finger and then to the ring finger, one after the other at an incredible speed.

By having thoroughly mastered the basics of magic, he was able to heal to an extent that even I was not aware of. ......?

While I was stunned by his technique, Nack, who had just collapsed, stood up with a start.

"I can still do it, Usato-san."

"Well, how about some evasion training this time?"

"You mean the one where we dodge magic bullets?"

"Yes. ...... Oh, that's right.

Usato puts his chin on his chin and thinks about something.

What's wrong?

"Actually, there is a training method I was thinking of doing with the Commander,...... but with Nagi-san, I might be able to do it,......."

"What?　What is it?　I'm happy to help you with anything."

Thinking that he can be of help, he somewhat bitingly agrees.

"Thank you very much. It's pretty simple, so I'll explain it to you.

Usato walks away and I follow him.

He stops about ten meters away from Nack's location.

"Please stand here."

"Yes."

"Now, we're going to play a game of catch."

"Is this the same thing you and Suzune were doing, throwing magic bullets at each other?"

Oh, that's right.

That's what I saw from Usato's basket hand.

Usato nodded with a smile, and when he was about 20 meters away from me, he produced a magic bullet wrapped with elasticity in his hand.

"I'm going to throw this now, so please throw it back to me. The trick is to throw it back as soon as you get it.

"Wow, okay. I don't care if it's fast."

He waved his arm and threw a magic bullet toward us.

I catch it with my hand and return it immediately.

After I continued to do so for about five rounds, Usato produced another magic bullet and added another.

"I'm going to increase the number too!

"Oh, this is fun.

Two, then three, and so on, like a magic ball.

Nack's expression seems to be turning paler and paler as he looks at me, but it's just plain fun.

Throwing and catching bullets is fun.

The effect of elasticity is lost, and the magic bullets are added as they disappear, so it seems that the limit is up to three bullets for now.

Once all the magic bullets are gone, he stops and smiles at me.

"How are you doing?　Do you think you can handle it?"

"Not at all, I'm fine. But how is this going to help me train you, Nack?"

I'll explain that too. Nack."

He comes as soon as Usato calls his name.

Usato points to a spot between where he and I are.

"Nack, please stand in the middle of me and Mr. Nagi.

"Yes?"

Nack, who seemed to sense something, hesitated and moved to the exact center of us.

"I'm standing, but ......".

"All right, well, let's get started."

""What?"""

Usato, who created a magic bullet wrapped with elasticity, throws the magic bullet.

Nack-kun dodged it just in time, and I caught the magic bullet from behind him... but..,

"What?　But Nack-kun was in between ......."

"Hmmm, actually, it is a training to avoid not only the front, but also the magic bullet from behind."

""......""

"Come on, Nack, it's healing magic, so don't worry about training!"

Usato continues to create magic bullets, and Nack looks at me with his cheeks twitching.

I never thought that I would have to go through such a terrible training, even though I had offered to help in any way I could.

But it makes sense.

I can't deny the fact that it makes sense. ......!

Yes, it is a good way to train your evasiveness. ......!

"Nack, I'm going to be a heartbreaker too!"

"Dodge it, Nack!"

What?

A magic bullet flies between me and Usato-kun, and the boy's screams echo through the air.

This is lifeguard training: ......!

It's terrifying, but the results you get from it are tremendous. ......!
