Chapter 3
TN: Did some edits on chapter 1, no need to re-read or anything but it reads smoother now . Noppo-san from chapter 1 just means a tall lanky person . Chapter 1 and 2 were long, this one is relatively shorter .
In front of me were five sinister-looking men giving broad grins .
For a moment, I was under the impression that this place was a bandits hideout . Thinking so, I couldnt help but look towards Roses face .
Rose-san
Nnn? What is it Usato? Aah you dont know the names of these guys yet right? Then, you guys introduce yourselves .
Its no good . This person doesnt get it at all .
I somehow had doubts as to why the woman in front of me wasnt afraid of these scary mens faces at all .
Ah, I see . Shes the leader so shes probably used to these peoples faces .
The sinister-looking men started to surround me in a circle . What are they trying to start? I can prostrate myself on the ground any time you want you know?
Im Tong, my specialty is disinfection . Best regards newcomer
The conspicuously tall man in front of me, Tong, introduced himself as such in a low voice .
As Tongs distorted smile floated on his face, I couldnt stop sweating . I also thought his name was interesting since it was what youd normally use for grabbing onto meat .
After Tong, the other men started introducing themselves one by one .
Mill, best regards newcomer
Alek, best regards newcomer
Gomul, best regards newcomer
Guld, best regards newcomer
I-Im sorrwwyyy
I cried .
Im well aware how uncool it is for a high school student in second-year to be weeping .
Even so, I would like to be believe anyone would have cried in these circumstances .
The frightening looking men covered me in all directions to give their self-introductions .
What exactly was this ritual-like initiation!?
Only people with a heart made of steel wouldnt cry in this situation!
Oi you all, dont be scaring the newcomer
Ugoahh!?
One of the men in my surroundings, Tong his figure suddenly disappeared .
Rose sent him flying with a kick .
Rose seemed to be at a loss for words and raised an angry voice at the four men .
Honestly, Im more afraid of you .
I dont particularly mind if you guys are getting along but you guys understand right? Rose-angeo! We were doing a greeting reception in our own way!
This they were intending this as a greeting!?
I felt shock from the plump man, Mills words . It was very easy for someone to misunderstand this type of hospitality, and they wouldnt be able to conceal their shivers either . Rose sent Mill flying with a kick and glared at me with her sharp, wild animal-like eyes .
Good grief, Usato . These guys arent healing magicians, they are my subordinates . Their jobs are to secure wounded people from the front lines . And there two others besides me who can use healing magic . Unfortunately, they wont be returning for a little while . In the meantime, Ill be teaching you healing magic
Eh?
Where is your reply?
Wa, yes!
Good . If thats the case, well start the training tomorrow . The room Tong, you have an empty spot in your room right?
My own will has already fly away somewhere huh? (TN: He thought fly away in English, flown away would make more sense here)
Only I have a room to myself
Well its just right then, you can ask this guy for various things . Its already night-time, its alright for you guys to turn in
Yesss
Yes
Follow me, Ill guide you to your room
Following Tong, he led me to my room .
The room I was guided to was just an ordinary dormitory room .
It wasnt disordered nor did it have any pointless objects lying about .
Thinking that it was a great difference from my own room, I sat down on the bed .
Its unexpected, I was thinking thered be chains or a flamethrower lying around .
Oi, newcomer
What is it? (TN: Usato asks in a very polite manner to Tong)
You dont need to talk like that with me, I dont mind if you talk casually
I got it
Suddenly being called out by Tong, my body quivered with a start and gave a reply . This person is awfully tall thats why he has such an intimidating aura . Even just starting a conversation with him, my physical endurance gauge gets shaved off quickly .
In Tongs hands were simple looking work clothes which he threw towards me and bluntly said
Thats the clothes you will be using for training . Theres 3 different sets of clothing for the top and bottom, you can mix and match them however you want . The toilet is just a bit ahead once you leave this room . For more detailed matters, I believe anego will tell you
T-Thanks
As one would expect, I couldnt always be in my school uniform so Im grateful for these clothes . For now, I should change out of my school uniform .
Facing Tongs way, I saw he was already lying down on the bed facing the opposite direction from me .
The training will be tough, hurry up and sleep . Especially the training for healing magicians tomorrow will be hell
H-Hell?
Healing magic can be used to cure your own wounds even you should understand what that means
. .
In other words, no matter what kind of injury I receive I will still have to continue training .
I felt the blood draining from my face, and I was certain that my facial expression was pale right now .
I could heal my own injuries . I understood I wouldnt be having any breaks, ah yup . But Rose-san is the lifesaving squads leader, even though its only a little I want to try learning healing magic from her .
Could you teach me more about healing magicians?
I was brought here for the sake of learning healing magic .
Although it was not in the way I desired, this is a good chance . If I could be a support for Kazuki and Inukami-senpai, Im sure I can become someone useful to them in this war .
Aah? Guess theres no helping it . Healing magicians, to say it elegantly, are magicians who are proficient at restoring . To say it in a deprecatory manner, they are incompetent magicians .
Incompetent?
Unable to use offensive magic . Always a priority target for the enemies during battles . A few years ago, healing magicians were looked at as objects of disdain and contempt . Healing magic is useless that was what every place was saying back then .
If I remember correctly, generally every magician could use restoration spells to heal themselves, at least to the degree of first-aid treatment .
With that in consideration, it would only be natural in fights to focus on attacking the healing magicians who could only heal and that werent capable of fighting back .
Even in the games that I have played, I always take down the enemies that are able to heal first .
Well in reality, I thought so too . Healing magicians that couldnt use any offensive magic are just small fries right, thats what I used to think .
Used to?
Looks like Ive spoken a bit too much . Lets sleep
Eh? It still feels unfinished
Shut up, hurry up and sleep!! Idiot!!
Tong shouted at me while lying down .
It wouldve been fine even if you didnt shout you know .
While feeling mentally injured from being shouted at, I got onto my bed while shedding some tears and prepared myself for the training tomorrow .
Healing magic huh . I was told it was going to be hell but, the image isnt coming to me at all
A magic for the sake of healing others .
From the conversations so far, thats the way my magic is supposed to be used .
But considering Tongs talk, tomorrows special training for healing magic doesnt seem like it will be that simple .
Nevertheless, I obtained an opportunity to temper my own magic even if it wasnt in a way I desired .
Tomorrow, Ill try my best in my own way .
