The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

Veena's true identity was that of a demon.

To be frank, I don't really care.

I was a little surprised to know that a demon actually existed, but it is the Demon Lord, who is beyond comparison, who is the one who unites us all.

In fact, I would even say that Usato is more devilish than Veena, who looks like a demon and moves like a demon in her bare form.

The problem here is that Usato, an unorthodox healer, has once again put us through another round of training.

"......"

The usual preparation exercise of running laps around the city.

Now that I'm used to it, I can do it almost without getting tired, but the training has been drastically changed by the demon's magical power released from Vina.

"I want it to be easy."

"I want to give up this pointless training."

I wish I didn't have to go through that pain anymore.

The sweet temptation that keeps overflowing endlessly in my heart.

We must continue to train while being tormented by such feelings, which are drawn out and amplified by the devil's magical power.

That's what he thinks.

I'm sure he's training us mentally as well as understanding the power of demons and the like.

I won't be defeated!

I keep moving my legs and face forward, always tormented by the feeling that the power of my mind is being drained from me.

The same goes for my colleagues.

Kevin and his colleagues are also running at such a high pace that there is no room to shake off their thoughts ...... or even to think in the first place.

"I can't concentrate on my training because of my thoughts!"

"I can't concentrate on my training because of my thoughts......!"

"I don't need to think about anything!"

I don't want to end up in the same place as these guys.

As it is, I don't have a problem either.

I don't want Usato and Koga to laugh at me for breaking down like this.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry... I'm sorry...!"

"Veena, stop finding excitement in guilt ......!"

I quietly yell at Veena, who is casting her magic in a way that only affects us running in a group.

One of the reasons I'm not that surprised that this guy is a demon is that his perversity is far worse than his demonic identity.

The fact that he was on his knees that night in the dormitory with Usato, and that he had done nothing wrong except confessing that he was a demon, is just scary.

"Your bitter emotions are delicious, and on the other hand, I feel guilty for being so lowly that I'm the only one feeling good about myself...it's just great."

"f*ck you."

Thank you for the food.

d*mn, cursing will give him power.

Demons are creepy creatures, aren't they!

"But I think everyone is adapting well. You may not have developed a tolerance for force like Usato-san, but you are strong enough to overcome simple temptations.

It's not like they've been through hellish training.

...... but the way Veena talks, it seems that Usato's spirit is not half-baked.

"But Nono-san doesn't affect him at all, does she?"

"Geez."

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

Nono, who has been training for the past three days with little talk, shakes her shoulders at Veena's mutterings.

I thought she was mentally too tight and had gone mute,...... but wasn't she under the influence of Veena's magic?

Nono looks down awkwardly and smiles awkwardly.

"Well, well, no matter how much I try, I just can't get the effect of the magic. I thought it would be easier for me to do it, so I kept my mouth shut.

"Can I report this to Usato?"

"Don't smile and try to send me to hell!"

But what does that mean?

Does it mean that Veena's magic didn't work on Nono?　

Nono's expression of surprise comes back to her face when I ask her about it.

"Huh, I always want to escape. No matter how much you add to the lowest value from the beginning, it won't make any difference.

"It seems that Nono-san is a very simple-minded person, so it's hard for our magic to work on her."

"Didn't you just call me a moron?　Excuse me?　Miss Veena?

"The simpler it is, the less effective it is. ......"

Can I be mad?

Surprisingly, Nono is the devil's trump card, isn't she?

Come to think of it, the training idiots who are running around in front of us right now are also running with their hearts in their mouths.

"...... Well, I don't want to be the same as Nono."

"I think Elle has a funny mentality, though."

"Shut up, you pig!"

After verbally abusing Vina, he turns his attention to training.

As usual, my mind is drifting in the direction of ease, but ...... this will soon become less of a problem as I get used to it.

I am sure this will become less of a problem as soon as I get used to it.

Training with Ms. Veena's magic.

At first glance it did not seem to have any effect, but slowly it was having an effect.

But even with the mental strain, the men did not run away from the training, on the contrary, they were more determined to go through with it.

Realizing that the training has been going well over the past three days, I had a small discussion with Koga, who was observing the training as I was.

Besides Koga, Keira, who was practicing magic spinning by floating around in a cape, and Senri-sama, who had followed Koga, were also there.

"When did you leave for the realm of demons?"

"In a week. The demon king is going to make all the preparations for us.

A week.

I wish I had more time, but I guess I can't be too selfish.

"Will the guy I called from Hinomoto make it in time?"

"Yesterday I got a reply. It will be last minute, but I think he will arrive before we leave.

The other day, we received a letter informing us that Mr. Nagi and Amako have departed from here.

I was surprised to hear that Amako was coming, but I was also reassured by her presence.

"I am so sad that you and Koga will be separated again.

Senri-sama acts sad, glancing at Koga's condition.

Koga does not seem to be bothered by this and smiles.

"Yes. I'm sad too.

"Koga, if you are so sad to leave Senri. If you're so sad to leave Senri, I'm willing to exclude you from this search.

I'm the captain of this expedition!

Then try to act more like a captain.

I'm just kidding. I can't do this without you.

"You're always making bad jokes."

The only people I make jokes like this to are the Demon King, Mr. Nero, and you.

"That doesn't make me happy at all!　Why am I on top of the Demon Lord and the old man?　And what kind of people are you joking around with?

Koga is furious with his criticisms.

The demon king laughs and retorts, Nero-san is a natural and lets it pass, and Koga replies with a tsk tsk.

It's quite fun to see the different reactions of the two.

"Well, is it possible that I have to defeat Usato-san before Koga-san?"

"What's wrong ......?"

Senri-sama, who was watching the exchange between Koga and me, suddenly started to say something very strange.

What do you mean?

Did I do something that Senri-sama didn't like?

"But well, I guess we'll just have to wait for another month until Senri comes back. Heh heh heh.

Senri-sama is not saddened by Koga's smirk, but silently puts a streak of blue on his forehead and begins to tighten his tightly clenched fists.

He is a man with no sense of delicacy.

I have to intervene in a situation like this. ......!

"Senri-sama, I think it's fine if you take the Koga back to your country since it's practically the same whether it's there or not.

That's it!

That's it!　That's it!

Okay, the air has gone cold for a moment, but it's back to normal now.

I have no idea why I'm being called insensitive when I can read the air so well. ......!

"This is just a joke, though. But I'm sure the Demon King would say yes with a smile on his face.

"I've been trying not to tell you this, but you have the same personality as the Demon Lord."

...... hmm?

"What the hell, man?　You want a fight?　You want to be my test subject?　Hmm?"

"Are you off your rocker ......?"

What? Are you guys fighting?

Are there only barbarians here?

I can't possibly have the same personality as the Demon King.

He's the worst kind of person... He's the kind of person who plays with people with a big smile on his face.

"...... Usato-san, will you be leaving in a month?"

Keira, who was silently practicing her magic spinning next to me, muttered something like that in a depressed tone of voice.

I can only stay here for two months.

After another month, I have to return to the Kingdom of Lingle.

"You can come visit me in the Lingle Kingdom when things are a little more settled."

"...... Usato, your disciple is also in Lingle Kingdom, right?　What kind of person is he?"

Is he interested in you since you are the same age as him?

I don't think he'll take the leap to joining the lifeguard corps, but I'll tell him about Nack.

"Nack?　Yeah, he's a good kid.

"......"

"He's a healing magician like me, and he has a bright future ahead of him."

"...... heh."

Koga and Senri-sama are whispering to each other about something.

I wonder if Nack is doing well at Olga's place.

No, I'm sure he's doing fine without me worrying about him.

I'll introduce you to him when you come to Lingle Kingdom.

I'd like to have a word with your apprentice. Yes, yes.

?　Well, I'm glad you're looking forward to it.

...... Well, let's see.

Hmm?　What are you doing?

"I just thought I'd share with you some of my work on strain enhancement and strain degradation."

I've already shown this to Nair and he was extremely upset, but I'll show it to Kohga as well.

Lineage enhancement and degradation created in each of the two hands.

"Lineage enhancement and lineage degradation, when you put them together..."

When I put my fingers with these floating on the surface close to it, "BANG!　the healing magic bursts forth with a resounding pop.

"Why is it repulsive?"

"No, really, why?"

If the enhancement of the system is a technique to improve the quality of magic power, the degradation of the system is a technique to lower the quality of magic power.

Both are extensions of magical power, but they are at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Simply speaking, Nair and I thought that the positive and the negative are not zero, but are already different, and therefore, repel each other.

"We haven't been able to apply the systemic reinforcement to the application of the system. We thought it might be a good idea."

"Well, what are you going to do?"

There may be a time when we need to strengthen our lineage, just like when Mr. Karon was almost swallowed by the dragon's power and went out of control.

Worst of all, it is not impossible for Shea to be swallowed by Hisago's memories and let her light magic run wild.

"......The truth is, it's best not to use it."

But we don't know what's going to happen.

The power of the Demon King, Shea with the memories of the brave, and the demons in the dark...... still have many problems to solve.

If it ends in futility, so be it.

Demons and humans,......I decided to live in this world, so I want to do everything I can.

I gather my thoughts once more and talk to Senri-sama.

"Senri-sama, may I ask you to build something like a wall with your magic?

"Yes, of course.

A rectangular wall is driven into the ground by Senri's air-hardening wind magic.

The wall is thick and sturdy.

"For the time being, I'm going to launch a healing bullet with reduced elasticity and increased viscosity.

"You used a technology I didn't know about in a snap: ......"

The healing bullet, whose properties have been weakened by the degradation of the system, floats in the left hand and attaches to the air wall.

If the enhanced strain and the degraded strain repel each other on contact and cause an impact, what happens if we strike the enhanced strain on the target, overlapping the magic of the degraded strain attached to the target? ......!

"Stand back and ......!"

He covers his right arm with a basket hand and strikes the bottom of his palm, which is covered with the magic power of lineage reinforcement, onto the magic power of lineage degradation, as if he were driving a nail into it.

"Hmph!

Instantly, there is a burst of sound and a flash of light, and my right arm, which I hit him with, is thrown backwards by the recoil.

A green smoke emits from the palm of my cage hand as I look at the spot where I struck the blow..,

"...... wow."

"You've come up with another bad move."

"I thought I made it pretty sturdy. ......"

It is so powerful that the air wall it creates is forcibly released.

The shockwave alone is more powerful than a healing explosive, right?

In addition, the healing magic that has been enhanced by the system reinforcement that spreads around it with the flash of light also spreads, and it seems that healing magic can be applied to a wide area.

"Well, if you are going to use this, continuous fire fist and explosive shells will suffice, and I don't think you will use it unless there is something wrong with you. ...... hmm?"

A familiar black owl leaps out of the window of the lodge and barges toward us.

Nair, who had been reading in her room, jumps onto my shoulder with a mighty leap and thrusts her wings at me in a noncommittal tone.

"That sound you just made was your healing magic!　Tell me!　What did you do this time!

I'm not convinced why they were the first to recognize it was me, but it's just in time we had another discussion about this strange phenomenon of lineage enhancement and degradation.

I've been asked to do so by Mr. Welshy of the Lingle Kingdom. ......
