The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

After about a week of uneasy ride in the carriage, we arrived at Lucvis without any trouble thanks to Amaco's foresight. No, we were attacked by monsters, but Mr. Welshy told us that the encounter rate was totally different.

Well, it is partly because of the presence of Bulrin, who is a strong member of his race, but still, Amako's magic was too useful.

We arrived at the gate of Lucvis, and I looked out of the window of the carriage to see the whole view of the big gate.

"It's beautiful. ......"

While the gates of the Lingle Kingdom looked old and solid, this one is a gorgeous gate with a black base color and colorful decorations. The magic circle-like engravings on the gate suggest that it may be more than just a gate. It may not be what it seems. .......

"It feels like a school."

"It's not at all like what we used to go to, though..."

"That's true."

Kazuki, who also looked out the window at the castle gate, nodded.

Now Welshy and the guards are talking to the gate guard to let us through, but we'll have to be careful once we get in. We're here with the Lingle Kingdom on our shoulders, and we can't afford to get ourselves in trouble.

"Senpai, please be careful. Don't ever start a fight with them, okay?

"Well, ...... I'm a former student body president who took discipline very seriously, so I wouldn't do something like that ...... like a street riot...don't you trust me that much?"

"That's because I'm the former student body president."

A senior with a strong sense of justice would jump in if he saw a student being persecuted.

I admire that kind of belief.

"Amako also wears the cloak I just gave you, okay? And don't move your tail as much as possible."

Don't worry, I'm used to it.

Amaco is deeply clad in a white cloak of the same shade as mine. She will not go to the castle, but wait in the carriage with Mr. Aruk and the others. She is waiting in the carriage with Mr. Alc and the others, because she feels safer with them than with us, who are on an important mission and cannot be free.

We are going with Mr. Welshy, Kazuki, senpai, and myself.

"I have your permission, we're going into Lukvis!

The carriage starts running again as soon as Ms. Welsey's cheerful voice is heard from outside. At the same time, the huge gate rises upwards, revealing the inside of the city.

Buildings stand in a row.

They vary in size from large to small, but all of them exude an air of purity, as if they were white and school-like. The buildings are not like the buildings in my world, but are more like Western architecture.

The overall impression is similar to that of the streets of the Lingle Kingdom, with straight avenues and roads between the buildings.

Stalls are open like in the Kingdom of Lingle. But the vendors are children of the same age, dressed in robes as if they were in uniform. Most of the people walking down the street are dressed the same way.

Adults were only a few in number, and it was quite an odd sight.

"This is the magical city of ......."

To be honest, I had not expected a place where children were given so much freedom. I thought a school would be built on a certain amount of rules like in the original world, but this place is more like a college than a high school.

"We can't have horse-drawn carriages running around town, so we'll have to walk from here."

"Ah, yes. ...... What about Bullein?"

The Blue Grizzly will take you and your horse to the stables. His presence would attract too much attention.

Well, I'm glad I didn't take him to the city and scare him off. With relief, we follow Mr. Welsey's directions and get out of the carriage. The luggage can be left in the wagon for now ....... The knight will be on guard so we don't have to worry about them being stolen.

"But still ......"

I don't like the way you're looking at me.

We are still near the inside of the gate, and already kids who look like students are gathering around, looking curious. They are all wearing dark robes ......, but I can't see any other attire. I feel out of place in my white trousers. .......

"...... hmm?"

"What's up? Usato ......"

"No, just ......."

There was a boy among them, staring at me. He was staring at me with eyes as if he were avenging his parents, and his robe was somewhat soot-stained.

However, it is an everyday occurrence for me to be stared at with that level of power. I was not particularly afraid of him, and when I met his eyes, he shivered and ran away quickly.

"Kazuki, do you think I ...... have bad eyesight?"

When I asked Kazuki about it, he looked at me with a puzzled look and said, "I've become more frightened or more dignified.

I thought I was at the furthest place from being dignified, but I was a little happy to hear Kazuki say so.

"Dignified, huh? I was told I was timid, but to be told such a thing is ...... moving. ......"

Next to me, Amako is muttering "......... when I'm scared, I'm really scared," but I can't hear her at all.

As I was shaking with emotion, Mr. Welshy stood in front of us and pointed across the main street. At the end of the street, we see the largest and most prominent building in the city.

The destination is not far from here. The knights will wait here. We are on our way to give you the letter.

"Yes, Amaco. Take good care of Brulin.

"I'm not particularly worried, but be careful."

She could at least be concerned about me. ...... No, it's Amako's words, in a way the most trustworthy, so maybe it's her own way of giving me a pep talk.

I told myself that, and after bowing to the knights who saw us off, we started walking down the main street with Welshie at the head of the group.

"Our armor is strong and cheap! We are proud to sell it! This is the place to buy! Carl Guna Armor Store!"

"The quality of the dried meat is second to none! Don't underestimate them just because you're a student!"

"Sell me anything. In some cases, you can even barter!

There really are a lot of different kinds of stores.

I know it must be a lot of work for a kid to run a business, but I can't help but marvel when I see kids younger than me calling out for help.

"Kids who don't have money at their disposal are working outside of class. It is the adult merchants who are in charge, but it is the many students who live here who work as their hands and feet.

"Wow, that sounds like a part-time job."

Interesting. Working alongside your studies is just like our world.

I slow down a little so that I don't fall behind Ms. Welshy, and look around the landscape of Luxembourg.

I really don't want to think that there is any discrimination in such a vibrant city. I see people on the street, or rather children of the same age, laughing and looking at the stalls, and I think to myself, "Is there no such thing in this country? I think.

"What do your seniors think? You must be very interested in this kind of thing,......, eh?"

I wonder what Kazuki and his senpai think about this place so far.

Let's ask them a few questions. ...... is that it?

"Kazuki, Mr. Welshy, what about ...... senpai?"

"What? Senpai? ...... that?"

"If you're Inukami-sama, there's no ...... next door!"

"...... can't that guy just sit still a little bit!"

<<>

I look behind me, my cheeks twitching, to see my senpai who has been gone for less than ten minutes since we started walking, and I hear a small crowd and a familiar voice. I can't see him, but I somehow guessed it.

I silently turn my back to Kazuki and Ms. Welshy, whose cheeks are also twitching, and head toward the senpai who has attracted my attention.

She is a beautiful girl, unfortunately, who is raising her voice with abnormally high tension.

But still a disappointment. It has changed my image of her to a very bad one.

Excuse me, that's my companion! I'm sorry, but he's with me!

I weave my way through the crowd of robed onlookers and make my way to my senpai. He sighs as he weaves his way through the waves of people who have gathered to the point where he can no longer see what is in front of him.

You really, really enjoy this world too much. You're so unattached to your original world that it's almost a wonder you're still here. I think I'm pretty good at it too, but I'm not as good as you.

A little later ......

I finally made it to where I could see my senpai. She was looking around licking her eyes, holding up some kind of protective gear. ......... You've forgotten what you came to this country for!

I keep her childish glee in my sights and speed up my steps a little ......, but perhaps I shouldn't have done so, as I bump into one of the onlookers who suddenly interrupts me.

"Oh, wow!"

"Oh, I'm sorry!"

I was feeling awkward inside when she fell down on her backside, but when I saw her slitted eyes looking up at me, I gulped.

She looks up at me and gasps when she sees my long slits in her eyes. She has a robe over her head like a hood, so I can only see her face, but I guess she is wearing a cloak on such a sunny day, so that must be it. I thought I wouldn't see him yet, but under the circumstances, I'll pretend I don't notice him.

I don't want to get into trouble at this stage. It's not funny if I get into trouble and get kicked out before I hand over the letter.

"...... are you okay?"

The person who has collapsed takes my hand, though his slit eyes roll back in his head. The person who has fallen down takes my hand, though his slitted eyes roll back. Then he keeps his mouth shut for a moment as if he is satisfied with my whole body, and stands up slowly.

"You're an unusual person, aren't you?

"No, ...... unusual, no, he's an unusual person. ......"

I'm from another world. I'm from another world, and I'm a very unusual person for someone from this world. The man stood up, brushed the dust off his robe, took one look at my face, and held his hand out to the side as if to say, "Don't worry.

"You're not hurt, you were just pushed.

"Good, I'd really like to apologize, but I'm in a hurry right now. ......"

I guess I should at least apologize, but now I have to go back to Mr. Welshy and Kazuki with my senpai who is frolicking like a child in front of me.

I apologize again and go back to my senpai. .......

"Wait!"

With a crunch, I almost hear an onomatopoeic sound as my right arm is grabbed and I am pulled in as hard as I can.

When I turned around, I found that the person whose eyes were sharper than ever in the cloak was sniffing my arm, which pulled my face close to it. I don't mean to be lewd, but I felt something like anger or even murder, so much so that I couldn't have such an impression.

"---You smell like you know me.

"...... what the hell is that?"

For the sake of the trip, I can't say that the men haven't wiped themselves since yesterday.

He is probably the one who is holding my arm...... or she, judging from his voice. The she is talking about is not the same thing. If there is a...

"Don't play dumb. ...... why do I smell like someone I know from you?"

"...... hmm? Maybe you're the one Amako was talking about who used to treat me so well..."

As soon as he said that, his right arm was grabbed and squeezed like a vise. What power! It's not as strong as Rose's, but it's strong enough. At least, not human strength.

He pulls me to take him out of this place, but I can't leave, so I put up a fight, and he sounds puzzled, and then begins to exude a swarthy air.

"Ah! ...... not moving,...... I knew it, Amako is already ...... and now it's me....... !

"Wait, there's been a huge misunderstanding. Let's just calm down, okay?"

"Can you calm down ......?"

There's some kind of weird misunderstanding. Specifically, I've become a total a**h*le to the person in front of me.

Before I know it, I see her in front of me, her gauntleted left arm ready to draw from the cloak she wears. The onlookers around me must have noticed this, too, because they look at the gauntlet, let out an exclamation, and move away.

Hey, help me, students!

"Slave traders? Thieves? Or are they the famous ringleader's tough-guy kidnappers?"

I'm sorry, that last one's probably my colleague.

That's a different kidnapper.

Hey, really, calm down! I'm ...... a friend of Amaco's!

"Friends, that's a convenient word for humans. ......

"Yeah, yeah. ......"

Before he can finish his words, the air around him gathers around his fists as his arms tighten. You can't see it with your eyes ......, but you can hear a distinctive wind noise coming from his fist, and you notice it even if you don't want to.

This is not good. I try to break free from the grip on my right arm to escape, but the hand gripped like a vise can be moved, but it does not come off. He's got more strength than me, but his grip is too strong.

"Huh!

A steel-wrapped fist is fired at the abdomen, as if swinging. As the fist is being unleashed, the cloak is pulled off her head, exposing her true face and the ears growing out of her head.

Her brownish hair is tied back in a slicked-back bun, and her ears are pointed.

I feel a little irrational at the anger on her handsome face, which still has a childish appearance, but I accept her fist with my free hand.

"Mmm."

A fist strikes, and a shock pierces my palm.

A month ago, I would have fainted in agony for a few seconds. ....... But now that I have endured the hell of sandbag training, a blow of this magnitude is still not strong enough to cause me to faint in agony.

A few moments after the direct hit, a blade-like object came out from the fist and sliced the hand that caught the fist.

"Ouch!

Fresh blood splatters from his palm ......, but he immediately closes the wound with healing magic. It feels as if you have been cut by a sharp blade, but the healing magic heals faster than a shallow cut on the skin.

"You ...... catch ...... it, no, it's healed? You're not human ......!"

"I'm a human being!"

That's really rude! I'm still human! The real monster is an irrational demon king named Rose!

He seemed to be creeped out by the fact that I was standing upright without changing my color as I received the fist, and his expression colored with anger and a little fear, he let go of my right arm and moved backward to look at me with his fist ready.

"............, I'm too conspicuous here. ......"

She seemed to have noticed the eyes on her, and she looked as if she was biting down on a bitter bug.

She put her hood back on deeply, glared at me and said, "I remember your face," and ran to the back alley.

"...... want to follow?"

I am confident that I could catch up with him if I wanted to. But it's not a good position for me to be in, since I have the important task of handing over the letter.

...... I think I should not chase after them and report to Amaco later. He said he knew you, so you can ask him to clear up the misunderstanding. Or at worst, we could force him to talk us out of it.

"I don't know if this is good news for me, but it's good news for Amaco."

He even said he was the one who treated me well.

...... I'm sorry you're getting so much attention. For some reason, I shake off the blood on my hands and walk up to my senpai, who still hasn't cooled down from the excitement, and call out to him, though he looks at me rudely as if I'm some kind of monster.

Wow, this person didn't notice me at all. Kazuki and the others probably didn't see me, but I hoped this person who was nearby would have noticed me.

"Senpai!"

"Hmm, Usato-kun, just in time. Look at this. I didn't expect it to be so elaborately made."

"Senpai."

"Well, I've been using a sword, but I've also been trying to use a bow and ............ wow, okay, I'll go ...... so just keep a blank stare on your face. Stop looking at me ......."

He put his armor back in his hand and walked silently behind me to Mr. Welshy and Kazuki.

Fortunately, the commotion earlier seemed to have been lost in the crowd and neither Mr. Welshy nor Kazuki saw the exchange between me and the girl who looked like a beastman. I was glad that neither Mr. Welshy nor Kazuki saw the exchange between me and the girl who looked like a beastman, since I was going to give them a letter now and it would be bad for them to know that I had been harmed by one of their students.

"I brought her to you. ......"

"Inukami-sama, ...... you should be aware that you have been entrusted with a somewhat more serious task. ......"

"Oh, no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I couldn't help it."

"Don't bother us too much, ...... you were the chairman of the board even if you are not. ...... Usato, are you all right?"

"I'm fine, I'm a little tired, but it was nothing more than bringing ...... senpai."

We walked again, watching the exchange between Kazuki, who looked stunned, and Inukami-senpai, who looked shocked.

We got into trouble as soon as we arrived in Lukvis, so I'll try not to say anything unnecessary next time.

After a dozen minutes of walking again, we finally arrived at our destination, a large white building. The more we looked at it, the bigger it was, but it did not look like a castle like in the Kingdom of Lingle, but more like a school building.

"Is this the ......?"

Yes, this is the center of Luxvis. This is the Magic City... the Magic Academy of Lukvis.

This is the first place to hand over the letter. To be honest, I was a bit nervous because this place exceeded my expectations.

The quizzical glances I see around me from students are also a bit painful. I hear voices like "What's up with these guys" and "There's a guy with a low profile. ......Yes,......You are so right, I can't argue with you. .......

Can you let me in?

"Yes, when I came here, I asked the guards to give me a message. ......"

"You mean they're coming to meet us at ......?"

I wonder how they will treat us. There is a possibility that they will treat us roughly, but we are emissaries from a neighboring country. I hope they will treat us moderately, not too generously...

"That's a nice outfit you're wearing."

"Whoa!

The voice that blows like a whisper in your ear startles you. You jump away from the room with a creepy feeling that you have never experienced before.

Did Inukami-senpai commit another murderous act?　No, it was a different voice. I turned toward the voice, and there was a gray-haired boy, slightly shorter than me, with a soft smile on his face.

"Well, ...... I'm sorry to have startled you. Are you the messengers from the Kingdom of Lingle?

Yes, yes. Yes, yes. Then you must be ......."

"Yes, my name is Halfa, and I was guided here by the headmaster of the school.

He flipped his black robe and bowed reverently. ......Halfa......? I thought he was a boy, but he has a neutral face and is taller than I am, if not shorter. Moreover, the robe covering his body makes it hard to tell him apart.

......No, it's more puzzling that I couldn't even notice that he was close to my ear. I'm not so relaxed in a place I'm visiting for the first time, no matter how many people are around me.

At least I'm not just a guide. .......

"......Usato,...... if he were a boy, he'd be a boy's girl!"

"Sir, I'm losing my cool right now. Please be quiet for a while.

"More harsh than ever!"

This guy needs to understand the meaning of the word "mature" a little bit before we can have a conversation. .......

I followed Mr. Halfa, who began walking ahead of me and showing me around, into the school. Inside is a sunlit plaza, with the school buildings lined up around the plaza.

There, students in robes are spending their time reading books, talking, and practicing magic. The school scene that Inukami-senpai and I ...... probably had in our minds' eye was spreading across our field of vision.

"Wow ......"

It is just as I imagined it would be, the daily life of a magical school.

Fantastic, vibrant, or should I say ...... youthful, am I an old man or what?

"You seem to be interested in them."

Mr. Halfa, who was walking in front of us, called out to us. His voice did not have the same clingy quality as when he whispered in my ear.

"It's not something we're used to. I'm sorry if I was rude."

No, no, it's not impolite. You are more than welcome. They must be proud to be of interest to people like you.

Halfa's casual words.

At his words, the senior's eyes narrowed slightly and Kazuki and Ms. Welshy rolled their eyes in surprise.

I was not so surprised.

Because it was Kazuki and Senpai.

"Did the dean tell you about us?"

"No, but I knew from the way he carried himself and the flow of his magic that he was no ordinary man ...... and--"

He spun around, turned around, looked at me, and quickly pointed a raised finger toward my body.

I wondered if there was something behind me. ...... I turned around and saw no one.

...... me? No, I have only a little more magic than normal, and I have a single outstanding strain of magic, healing magic, which may or may not be a strong point for a wizard.

The only thing that stands out about me is my uniform, which is the proof that I am a member of the Lifeguard Corps.

"The Lingle Kingdom Rescue Mission, heretic healing wizard in white, the second of the two.

"Oh, you know me? Heresy is more like ...... than ......."

Heresy...... would be.

I can heal wounds, but the way I use it is very different from the way I use ...... No, Rose's healing magic is used in a crazy way, so to speak: breaking my body, healing it, breaking it, healing it, and repeating the process. It is this repetition that has made me the person I am today.

Well, I admit that I am not normal.

But I didn't think it was really transmitted to other countries. In fact, from what I've heard, the rumors about healing magic are just unbelievable. .......

"Actually, I didn't believe them until I saw them with my own eyes. I didn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes. But ...... what you may have in terms of magic power compared to the other two, you make up for it with your surprisingly natural and flawless distribution of magic power all over your body. This is no ordinary feat.

"[You can] see magic?"

Pointing to his own eyes, he nodded to Welshy's words.

What is "demon's eyesight"?

"Magic vision is a kind of magic eye, a kind of rare system of magic like Usato-sama's that can see the magic flowing and drifting in living things and the atmosphere.

"So you know who we are. ......"

I'm good at seeing the flow of magic ...... but if it's the same type of systemic magic as mine, then, conversely, that's all you can do, isn't it? It's too early to draw ............ conclusions. I have a feeling that this person should not be trusted in the usual way.

"......Well, well, let's hurry up a bit. I can't be late since I've been asked by the headmaster to show you around.

He took a glance at senpai, Kazuki, and me in turn, smiled slightly, and started walking in the front again.

His steps are somewhat light, but I still can't ...... get rid of my anxiety.

"Usato-kun."

The senior taps his shoulder with a finger and turns him to face me.

I look at Mr. Halfa walking in front of me, but my attention turns to the senior student next to me.

"He's wearing a catsuit, isn't he? I don't like it.

"Is that what you call homophobia? ...... makes sense."

"I'm not wearing it right now!"

I replied in a flirtatious manner and got a rather shocking answer.......What, you mean that you used to wear a cat before?

No,...... I think about it, now that I talk to him casually, but I never talked to him or saw him in my previous world.

Back then, he was a real, real high profile person. ...... Now he's this friendly and unfortunate.

I think I like her better this way.

"Hmm, what did you say, Usato-kun?"

"It's nothing. Please look forward.

Before I knew it, the students were out of sight, and only our footsteps echoed in the hallway.

I was thinking that this place is as big as a castle in the Kingdom of Lingle when Mr. Halfa, who was walking in the front, stopped.

This is the headmaster's office.

Then he turns to the door, taps it with his hand, and says simply, "Mr. Dean, I have brought you here. After a few seconds or so, he responds with a rather stilted "", and Mr. Halfa smiles at me and opens the door. The headmaster's room was revealed.

Stepping into the room, the first thing I saw was a dazzling gold color.

The woman sitting comfortably in the chair, who exceeded my expectations of her aged appearance, gave us a friendly smile as if she were welcoming a friend who has been with us for 10 years...

"Welcome to Lucvis. I welcome you all."

---He said so.
