The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

Morning training in the Demon City of Velhazar had become almost a daily routine.

I would run through the streets where there were few people, and then I would have a light hand-to-hand combat with Mr. Nero, who was training at the training ground located at the end of the street.

There are many things to learn from training with the superior Nero.

From the way of standing, to the application of magical manipulation, to the sensory movements in battle, he reminds me of what I am lacking through actual combat.

And it's funny, but every so often an unexpected participant arrives at this morning training session.

"That!"

A swirling torrent of fire.

I confront it with the heat and thrust out my right arm, which is covered with a basket hand, and unleash the healing magic Bursting Palm.

The flames are blocked by a wall of shockwaves...and right after that, Amira-san, with a wooden sword in her hand, slashes at me furiously, cutting through the flames and shockwaves.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

I repel the slashes that strike me continuously from the first blow with my basket hand, and I also unleash my left fist.

However, the opponent is a skilled fighter on par with Koga.

They keep their distance from each other, constantly exchanging attacks and defenses.

"This is not the kind of training you do in the morning!

You'll be fine!　You'll be fine!

That's impossible!

I just fought a demon yesterday.

This isn't the first time Amira-san showed up for early morning training.

She usually comes every five days or three days to join me and Nero for hand-to-hand combat.

"Is there something you don't like?"

"No, I've been doing so much paperwork that it's dulling my arm. Simply, I get depressed when I'm not moving."

"I see. ......"

Now Amira-san is not a soldier in the Demon Lord's army, but she works for the people of the demon tribe, right?

I understand that she is a warrior person, so I guess she is using this opportunity to release her stress.

I have no complaints because my meetings with her are fruitful.

"Don't you have to keep your distance?

I prefer close quarters fighting to medium range.

"Plain and simple ......!!!"

Or else you wouldn't use a sword!

Most of the opponents can be managed with flame magic, so we tend to think that fighting at medium range is amazing, but this guy is strong enough to handle the moves of his senpai, and since he is Nero's disciple, he is quite strong with a sword as well.

It's difficult to get a distance from him by ordinary means. ......!

Woohoo!

He raises his right fist and slams it into the ground, pretending to attack Ms. Amira.

"Healing fist!

"Mwah!

As soon as the fist strikes the ground, he unleashes his magical power and creates a cloud of dust.

Okay, I'll take this opportunity..,

Sora!

"!"

Flames shoot out from about 5 meters away.

A shockwave could bring us into the same situation as before.

Then ......!

He moves his elasticity to his right foot by turning his magic power!

He kicks the ground, swings his leg up vigorously, and shoots the magic power in his right leg forward.

Healing Elastic Wave!

The magic bullet with the elasticity imparted by the kick transforms into a crescent shape, splits the flame in half, and heads toward Ms. Amira.

It caught Amira by surprise as she was about to charge at him, but she was easily cut to pieces.

"Interesting!　Try some more moves!

If you wish!

The flames had dampened its power!

But it's good as a spur-of-the-moment move!　I'm going to attack as Amira is going to attack.

Healing Break!

"Ah!"

In between attacks, I release a wave of healing magic to dull Amira's senses.

I try to attack her, but she is flooded with flames and I am forced to fall back.

"Flames are a nuisance after all, aren't they?"

"I guess that makes two of us. It's a strange trick, no matter how many times I've seen it. I never thought I'd be so out of tune. ......"

It is more or less negligible, but this is just a handshake.

Amira-san does not use the technique of wearing flaming armor.

"Next time, use the healing afterimage fist ......!!!"

"I'm not done yet! ......!

Now that I'm getting warmed up, I'm ready to apply more of my techniques.

Just as Amira and I were about to leap out of the way, a shadow suddenly stepped in between us and grabbed my fist and Amira's flaming wooden sword with her bare hands.

"It's time to stop, boys!"

"Master!"

Mr. Nero!

Nero-san, the blonde haired demon who had been watching us for a long time, looked at me and Amira with a somewhat dismayed look on his face and sighed.

"You're too enthusiastic. Are you trying to destroy the training ground?"

"No, I think it's your fault, Amira!"

"No, I think it's your fault!　It's not fair that you're the only one who can escape the responsibility!

My techniques basically have no great destructive power!

They are only explosive bombs and such, so I can say that I did not contribute to the destruction of the training ground!

Amira looks betrayed, but Nero sighs once more and points in a certain direction.

"What are you talking about?

"......"

The ground where the healed fist had just caused a cloud of dust was, to say the least, gouged out.

"I'll fix it. ......"

"Hmph, because only one of you tries to escape."

"Amira, you scorched the ground at the training ground, you do it too."

"Hi ......"

After that, Amira and I cleared the ground of the training ground with shovels.

To be honest, this is not the first time I've done something like this, and I'm afraid I'm getting used to it.

After we had spent enough time working, we decided to take a break and have a little chat with each other at the edge of the training ground.

"So, one of the guys who came to our unit was actually a demon and a pervert," he said.

"Hmm."

"Master⁉︎ Shouldn't you just give me a simple 'ah-ha'?"

Nero nodded his head without moving an inch, and Amira, who was drinking water from a canteen, gave him a loud "tsk-tsk" with her voice.

She immediately looks at me and sticks her finger at me.

"Hey, why is there a demon in your place? Did you report that to the demon lord?"

"Oh, I'll go there later."

You go faster!　The devil is the current antagonist!

It's a good argument.

But it's not like it's an emergency.

When I asked Nair to check on him in the morning, he was sleeping in his dormitory.

...... though she was thrown out of the room for some reason.

"I thought the Demon King would forgive me.

Well, I'm sure he'll forgive you.

"d*mn, oh oh oh ...... I can't be strong with this guy because of Master ......!!!"

The demon king was aware of Veena's existence in the first place.

Maybe he came to check on the training just to make sure, or maybe he's in control of the whole thing until Veena-san was discovered to be a demon.

"He will definitely laugh when I tell him about this. I can't stand it more than anything else in the world when he laughs at me.

"...... pfffft."

"What's so funny, Mr. Nero? ......!!!"

Usato, don't you dare to attack your master!

Amira stops me from getting up and attacking her.

Even against a superior opponent, I'm going to give it my all. ......!

"No, I'm sorry. Your situation is just too interesting.

"In the first place, could you ever laugh, Master?"

"He laughs a lot."

"......"

"Hey, why did you just hit me?　It hurts a lot."

He is one of the most powerful men in the Demon Army, and his arm strength is extraordinary.

He is strong enough to break through my biceps.

"I can't stand the fact that he knows his master better than I, his apprentice. ......!"

"No, no, no, I think he was just thinking that he couldn't smile in front of his disciple, Amira.

"...... how did you know?"

Amira-san pans me on the shoulder again.

In the process of meeting with her, I found out that she is surprisingly expressive.

I also knew that he was clumsy in his relationships in a different way from Rose.

"I don't know, since you weren't there in the first place, Amira-san."

"What are you ......?"

"It's a shock when someone worse than your senpai shows up. ......

"Is there anything better than that? ......?"

From Amira's point of view, the senior was quite something.

No, Veena, I really don't know what to do.

She should be a messenger ......, but I don't want to do that for my mental health. .......

"The devil wanted to be my servant as a condition of cooperating with ...... us. ......"

"......ffffffff."

"What's so funny, Mr. Nero ......!!!"

"I've seen this exchange before!

I return to my original position, repeating the same exchange as before.

I wonder what's wrong with Amira-san, who seems to be very tired.

No, I have no idea.

"Oh, by the way, Amira..."

What?

"I'm sorry I'm late to tell you this, but Mr. Aruk is here and I think you should meet him."

"......, the guy you fought at Hinomoto?"

I'd heard that you had fought at Hinomoto, so I thought it would be a good idea to talk to you about it," I said.

I had heard that it was a fierce battle, but Mr. Aruk seemed to be somewhat satisfied with what he said, so he might have had some thoughts about it.

"Well, I guess so. Let's meet him once.

Amira nodded and looked up at the sky.

...... should get back soon.

"Well, I have to go see the Demon King after this. They're laughing at me again. ......"

"...... pfft."

"What's so funny Mr. Nero ......!!!"

"You already know what you're doing!　Don't be a jerk, Master!"

I'm getting to know both Nero and Amira.

This is one of the reasons why I came to this city.

I'm glad I came to this city.

After the morning's rather strenuous training, I returned to my lodgings, had breakfast, etc., and decided to take Nair and Veena with me to the house where the Demon King was staying.

"Ha-ha-ha, how can you be so unexpected?　Is that it? Are you trying to kill me by making my stomach twist?"

"Veena, hit the demon king!"

"Uh, no, uh, you're right, I'm ...... eh, eh eh ......!"

"Calm down, Usato. Don't go, Veena."

I sigh as I look at Veena-san, who is hesitating but trying to get toward the Demon Lord.

I've come to realize that I have a tendency to get angry when the Demon Lord is agitating me.

There were the Demon King, his lady-in-waiting Ciel, myself, Nair in her owl state, and Veena in her demon form, and the Demon King was looking at Veena with interest.

"Well, well, I wonder what kind of a soul you've infiltrated his unit... ....... In order to get information about me and Usato and the details of the magical power rotation.

"That's the job we were forced to do. My compatriots were very scared of the magic detection, so they sent me, who was the least motivated among them, to do it.

"Well, why did you go to the trouble of revealing yourself?"

The smirking Demon King asks, and Ms. Veena points at me with her hand.

I want this person to be my master.

"That's too funny. This demon isn't lying, is he?　What are you, really?　It's hard not to laugh at this.

"Usato-san, don't you attract too many strange people ......?"

Ciel-san looks at me sympathetically, but the Demon King is out of the question.

I don't understand why I'm being classified as a "Dosu" by Veena-san's standard in the first place, and the real Dosu is right in front of me.

"I don't know much, do I?

"No, we're demons."

"It's rare for them to form a clique. In fact, you seem to be the odd one out, among those who would rather kill anyone who is weak.

"I had a lot on my mind while I was sealed up."

The more I learn about them, the more distorted I find their race of demons.

I understand that Ms. Veena is particularly strange, but it seems odd that the rest of them don't seem to have any sense of camaraderie.

"But it's a good situation to have the devil on our side."

"What should we do with Ms. Vina?"

"Hmm. ......"

The Demon King puts his hand on his chin and thinks about my question.

"At this point, I don't recommend you to use this demon as a messenger.

"Why should I make him my messenger?"

"Well, you just smiled and tried to deny it. ......"

Ciel-san seemed to be taken back by my casual mention of the word.

As for the "messenger," I think it's better not to do it, like it or not. From my point of view, taking a demon with me is going to be problematic.

"Oh, no. ....... But that's the way it is, too. ......

Is he invincible or is he ......?

Why are you twitching?　I can't help it.

"It seems that ...... understands that it's dangerous to walk around with this guy as a messenger, simply because demons are now seen as a threat."

"Yes. So, would it be all right if I asked you to keep an eye on Veena-san?

"What?"

Ms. Vina turns around with a stunned voice at my words.

"I guess that's all I can do for now.

"What?　Uh, um, Mr. Usato?"

"Ms. Veena?"

She looks puzzled and I try to be as calm as possible.

"It doesn't matter if you're my husband or not. In the first place, you are my subordinate, isn't that enough?

"Yes, it's not enough. ......"

"......?"

"Oh, enough, sir. ......"

"Hey, look, Ciel. You just brought the devil to his knees with a silent smile."

"That's the one where he looks desperate, too. ......"

He nodded at me: .......

If they had forced me to follow them, I would have been in trouble.

For the time being, Ms. Vina was to be monitored by the demon king's magic.

But the monitoring is not so severe, and she can stay in the dormitory and train as usual.

"......Uh...... something is different......"

For some reason, he seems to be extremely unconvinced.
