T/N 1: Deepest apologies for the long radio silence. I’m still here, didn’t go anywhere, didn’t retire from translating. Back to my bad habit of feeling unmotivated, combined with my transition from teaching to R&D Staff and a bit of internal infrastructure work means I have to spend a lot of time studying sharepoint and teams when I have 0 experience with and no IT background.

T/N 2: On another note, I will be posting my own original webnovels in this site as well, as I have recently purged my RoyalRoad account. I hope you’ll enjoy it along with the translation!

The Healing Hero, Testing His Strength

◇

After finishing the graduation exam, I visited the infirmary.

Remilia and Miina is also tagging along.

The purpose of visiting is to report to my homeroom teacher, Ares, who were injured by someone while on his way to school.

And perhaps I’ll heal him while I’m at it.

Since the graduation exam is hold after school, so there aren’t exactly any plans after this. Since I have a lot of time on my hands, I think I can take it slow.

Professor Ares, you have it good aren’t you.

Since he’s also the one who suggested the content of the exams.

Knock, knock.

“Please excuse me.”

When I entered the infirmary, the peculiar smell of medicine and chemicals pierced my nose.

“I’m Kite. Is Professor Ares here?”

“On the bed further in. Since a lot of people are coming here, please keep it short.”

“Understood.”

The school nurse and doctor replies casually.

Due to the nature of the education at the magic academy, a lot of people are injured. Depending on the severity of the injury, it’s not uncommon to be hospitalized like Professor Ares. The doctor is stationed here 24 hours a day for that, it seems.

As explained, I went to the bed further inside.

The curtain is closed, so I called out from outside.

“Professor Ares, this is Kite. I came here to report on the matters regarding to the graduation exam.”

Shashashasha- (SFX for quick/shuffling footsteps)

Almost as soon as I finished saying it, the curtain was opened with vigor.

“Kite! So what happened!? Your examiner became that Kars, wasn’t it?”

“I defeated Kars, and therefore passed the exam.”

“—!?”

As if he was amazed, Professor Ares opened his mouth wide and hardened. And then,

“…In other words, what does it mean?”

Seems like he became an idiot.

“Kars fought seriously with me. As a result, I won.”

“Umu, I understand the words but I have no idea what you’re saying.”

Professor Ares can’t understand the situation. Remilia and Miina also started explaining.

“It’s really as he said. I still couldn’t believe it up until now either, but Kite really did win in a serious match against Professor Kars.”

“Miina also saw it. It’s not a lie. Kite was really strong.”

As expected, when it comes to the two people besides me witnessing the events, Professor Ares seems to have no choice but to accept the situation.

“…It must be like that since Remilia and Miina said so. …But still, you beat Kars in a serious match…? And it seems like you’re uninjured as well… Hm?”

“For injuries, it’s faster to just demonstrate.”

“Demonstrate?”

“Yes. I’ll heal Professor Ares for now.”

“Healing magic, isn’t it the lost ancient magic… Huh!? My wounds are healed?”

To use healing magic at others. This is the special ability of the healing hero.

The healing hero can restore the vitality of others using his own magical powers.

To be precise, it’s possible for people other than the healing hero to heal others, but the hurdle to reach a practical level is so high it’s basically ineffective for anyone aside from the healing hero.

I also researched on whether or not healing magic can be used in my previous life, but in the end it was completely useless once we’re in battle with demons that are in the advanced class.

For the healing magic to be easily used at this practical level, I’m impressed.

“And that’s it. The growth of a wizard is as much as the effort one puts in to it. The result will show itself whether sooner or later, this is what you said, Professor Ares. Seems like all of the effort has come up to this timing.”

This isn’t a lie.

My growth might be a result of cause and effect, but the efforts I continued as Kite were never wasted. All of my efforts led to this point, and now that the door’s open, it’s possible for me to show my true abilities.

“Hmm, is that so… Anyway, congratulations on passing the exam. I’m really happy for you.”

“Thank you very much. It’s thanks to you, Professor, that I’m able to graduate at the last minute.”

“Well, in the end I couldn’t do much more. I wanted to conduct the final exam as well, not Kars.”

Professor Ares looked down at the part of the wound that was there just before.

“You are not at fault, professor. By the way, do you remember the culprit who injured you earlier?”

“If anyone could manage to catch me off-guard, it would have been a good magician. When I noticed I was already injured, so I don’t know who it was. I think I was lucky that I weren’t killed.”

“I see…”

Actually, I know exactly who the culprit was. I was suspicious, and when I was healing Professor Ares I also analyzed the residual magic power from the wound. The characteristics were persistent with Kars, so undoubtedly Kars was the culprit.

As I was talking leisurely, the on-duty doctor came by to see me.

“Ah! Ares, I told you to a completely rest for 3 days! The wound caused by magical power were deep and healed… Wait, healed!?”

“Well… That is, you see…”

Ah~ This will become a troublesome thing again…

“I can’t believe this! Professor Ares, are there really no spot that hurts? This kind of thing, with the current medical knowledge, is simply inconceivable!”

It seems like we have some free time now that the doctor is attending to Professor Ares.

It’s annoying if they decide to dig it through.

医務室を後にした。I gave a gesture to Professor Ares for him to keep his silence, and after he raised his thumb, I left the infirmary.

As for Kars, the only evidence there is is me when I healed Professor Ares.

The evidence is not that can be easily shared to anyone. At best, it’ll just corroborate my suspicions.

The complaint might not help either.

Fortunately, Professor Ares wasn’t aware who the criminal was. Well, in the future, let’s punish Kars in some way before my graduation. I’ll call it even with that.
