Chapter 27

"Thank you for the bookmark rating.

I plan to post the character settings tomorrow morning, so please look forward to it.

I'm sorry for the lack of description from the author >_<

'Now, let's start with the basics of defense. That is, not getting hit by the enemy's attacks! If you take unnecessary hits, your stamina will gradually drain. It's important to read the enemy's attacks and avoid them as much as possible!'

'Got it!!!'

Under Mr. Dude's guidance, we began our adventurer class. According to Mr. Dude, 'Defense is the best offense,' so he immediately started teaching us about defense.

The training method was simple.

First, we lined up. Then, one by one, we went to Mr. Dude. He would punch us. Finally, we returned to the end of the line.

That was it.

Actually, we were supposed to avoid being hit, but as expected, Mr. Dude, being a famous adventurer, didn't let us avoid it easily.

At first, everyone tried to avoid the punches with all their might, but now they were thinking about how to mitigate the attacks.

Mr. Dude's punches were that painful and impossible to avoid.

However, for me, it was just a slight shock to the cheek, and I didn't really feel the pain. But I didn't want to be the only one who didn't seem to be in pain and raise suspicions, so I made sounds like "Ugh!!" while seriously practicing to avoid the punches and continued to get hit.

By the time the training was over, everyone's faces were swollen red, and some were even bleeding from the nose.

'Alright, that's it for today!! After this, my party members can use healing magic, so they'll heal you!!'

'Ah, I can use healing magic, so I'll heal everyone.'

I didn't want to go home and worry everyone...

'But can you heal this many people? There are quite a few of us, you know.'

'No problem, I can handle this many easily.'

Besides, most of the people who were in the training were familiar faces from the town, so they should know that I can use healing magic.

I had everyone line up in front of me and cast healing magic on them one by one.

'...Why can you use so much healing magic and still come here...?'

Mr. Dude was saying something from a distance, but I focused on the healing.

'Heal---'

'Okay, let's start!!'

'Please take care of us.'

Now, we are receiving training for the support course.

'My name is Chirld! I can use healing magic, even though I'm like this!!'

Chirld said while puffing out her large chest.

---

'So, Torue! What do you think is important in support roles?'

After everyone's introductions, Chirld asked me.

'Well, I think it's important to help the front-line fighters as much as possible...'

'Yes, that's important, but what I think is most important in support roles is to know what you can do right now!!'

'Know what I can do right now...?'

'Exactly! Think about it, everyone. Imagine there's an injured ally and a very strong enemy in front of you. But you don't have the means to heal your ally. And that enemy is targeting the town where you are staying.'

'...'

Everyone imagined the situation.

If it were me, the injured ally would be Master... In this case, I would make sure Master can't heal himself...

'What would you do in that situation?'

...What would I do? I can't abandon Master, but then the town would be attacked...

'Nest can heal himself, so it should be okay.'

Next to me, Lily said.

'Wow! So Nest can use healing magic!'

'Yes, that's right!!'

'But what if Nest's magic power runs out and he can't use healing magic anymore?'

'Umm, I don't know!!'

Lily tilted her head, not understanding the situation.

The others looked at Lily with amusement, but I couldn't imagine such a situation either.

Master is healing people at the guild, and he heals many people every day.

Everyone might take it for granted, but from my perspective, it's impossible.

Healing magic consumes more magic power than other spells. I try hard to heal many people in a day, but I take breaks multiple times.

I can't imagine continuing to heal all day without breaks.

And even after healing, Master doesn't look particularly exhausted; he's as cheerful as when he arrived in the morning.

If Master can't use healing magic, I think it would be too late to tell the town about such an enemy.

But I don't really think such an enemy exists...

'Ah, is there anyone here who can use healing magic?'

As the training was nearing its end, Chirld asked.

'Well, I can use it...'

'Oh! Torue can use healing magic!? That's amazing for someone so young!'

'It's nothing special...'

It seemed there were a few others who could use healing magic, and they gathered around Chirld.

'Well, I gathered those who can use healing magic because my party members are running the combat-focused course, and many people are expected to get injured. I thought it would be tough for me alone with so many people.'

That's the course Master went to, but did he get injured...

'Ah! Here they come!!'

Chirld was looking behind us.

A large person, presumably a member of Chirld's party, approached.

'Ah, Chirld. About the healing...'

'Yes, I gathered a few kids who can use healing magic, so it's all good!!'

'Actually, we have someone who can use healing magic on our side...'

'...Huh?'

'That person healed everyone.'

'What!? Why is such a person on your side!?'

'Hmm, I wonder why...'

I wish he had come here!! I feel bad for Chirld, but it's probably Master...

Still, Master is amazing...
