Chiyu Mahou no Machigatta Tsukaikata ~Senjou wo Kakeru Kaifuku Youin~

GUUAHHHHHHHHHH!!

Nack shouted in anguish as he received a direct hit from Minas explosion magic . Nack continued to run after the initial hit, but the destructive force of Minas attack covered an extensive range so there was no room to escape .

Usato! Is he going to be okay!?

Usato-kun

Kazuki and Senpai looked at me in worry .

You could say that Minas magic is basically only explosion magic . Although its not reinforced like Usatos magic, it still holds quite a bit of power . She has scattered her magic everywhere now Even if Nacks legs are fast, its obviously disadvantageous if his space is restricted . Usato-san, I really dont think he can

It was just like Halfa-san said . The situation looked hopeless for Nack as he had no place to run .

Usato Is he going to be okay?

Amako clutched my uniform and looked at Nack with worry just like Kazuki and Senpai .

Yeah, this situation isnt good . This definitely isnt okay .

He just doesnt have a safe place to run to . Its nothing much .

Hell just have to do something about it .

I showed you a path to the Rescue Squad . You will be running on the battlefield with no safe place to run to anyways . It was a situation where it wouldnt be strange for you to get attacked by magic or a sharp weapon from every direction . It was standard for healers in the Rescue Squad to be in such unfavorable conditions .

Nack, I wonder what youre thinking right now as youre desperately avoiding Minas attacks .

Avoiding her attacks because you have no choice?

Looking for an opening?

Waiting for your opponent to wear herself out?

At the very least, Im well aware of how much ambition you had based on the surprise attack you initiated on Mina .

Dont joke around with me, Nack .

Eh?

It wasnt only Senpai and the others who were worried . The people in the audience were in disorder as well . I got irritated because I didnt like that .

I didnt train you just so you could run away .

I trained you for the sake of victory .

It wasnt some temporary measure . If youre just running, you wont be able to enter the Rescue Squad . You had a mission to save people no matter what the situation is .

It doesnt really suit me but maybe I should give some words of encouragement

I inhaled a breath of air .

Amako looked surprised and let out a Hyuh!? . She then covered her ears .

Senpai, Kazuki, and Halfa-san were staring at me in wonder . They probably didnt know what I was going to do .

Without being concerned, I

*

The air is hot .

Even breathing is painful

Gaah . !!

Even so, I didnt stop running .

No, I couldnt stop running . If I stopped, I would take another direct hit and lose consciousness .

Theres no way I could stop now . Even if its Mina, she couldnt continuously fire her magic like this forever . Ill endure it . Ill endure, endure, endure, and bear with it patiently . Then Ill win with one move .

That appearance sure suits you .

Ugua . Ahhhhhhh!!

An explosion occurred near my feet and the resulting debris hit my shoulder . I quickly retreated from the attack on my right but I couldnt escape the hot wind scorching me . I tumbled onto the ground and let out a groan .

Its because youre like that

Because I was on the ground due to the hot wind, I couldnt make out what Mina was muttering .

When I could hear what she was saying again, her voice was different from usual . Mina spoke without any emotion .

You always . . always have such a miserable appearance like this Thats why youre no good .

I couldnt keep rolling on the ground like this . I used the momentum from my tumble to get up . In the next moment, several orbs appeared before my eyes once more .

I reflexively covered my face with my arms and started to run .

I didnt have the leeway to heal all my injuries . I concentrated on healing the bare minimum while avoiding Minas attacks .

Thats why, dont get up anymore . Just give up Dont think about such foolish thoughts like leaving here Just give it all up!!

. . Ugh .

No, I cant look at Mina .

I need to look at her attacks . If I dont If I take another hit, itll all be over .

I gritted my teeth and ran .

Need to run Cant lose

I can still go on . I still havent lost yet . !

. All youre doing is defending! Just thinking that you can win against me is already strange!! Why cant you understand that!? Why are you just taking these attacks and not fighting back!? Why

Shut up!

I put all my concentration on evading . I couldnt hear where her attacks were coming due to her high-pitched screams .

No, trying to evade like this was too dangerous . I need to run

NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!

!?

Someone shouted and it was loud enough to echo inside my head .

Even Mina stopped when she heard that voice . No, everyones movements stopped and looked towards where the voice was projected . I turned around and saw a furious-looking Usato-san with his arms folded .

Usato San .

His voice surprised me as well .

He was obviously angry and I was frightened of what he would say to me .

Dont run . Fight, you damn idiot .

After Usato-san said that, he remained silent .

His encouragement and insult was so simple that I could only stare blankly in amazement . Mina didnt seem to understand as she kept looking back and forth between my face and Usato-sans .

I understood that there was no special meaning behind his words .

He meant exactly what he said . There was nothing more effective for me than his words just now .

Ha . . Hahahaha This is really too excessive

Dont run, you said .

What were you saying, after making me run and evade during that training?

Those were my initial thoughts but when I thought about my actions just now, I couldnt help but feel embarrassed .

My thoughts were completely different from what Usato-san is telling me to do .

At first, I was avoiding Minas attacks in order to win . But at the moment, Im just running away from Minas attacks . Its completely different .

My thoughts were full of how to defeat Mina in the beginning but now it was completely different Running away was all I could think of doing .

I was the only one giving up . Mina was seriously trying to beat me .

Im really a big idiot

I was just making excuses and only running away .

If I really wanted to win, I should be prepared to endure any kind of injury . But I didnt want to feel pain and didnt want to lose . I had no intention of facing Mina head on .

It was lame and unsightly . It was no different from my past self .

But

I used all my strength and slapped myself on the cheeks .

Ive already woken up . I wont run away from Mina anymore .

Thank you very much!!

Im sure Mina didnt grasp the meaning of Usato-sans words .

Its possible she thought that he was demanding the impossible in this desperate situation . She might even think that hes the lowest and the worst master ever . I personally didnt think that about Usato-san, not even a little . The truth is entirely different .

Usato-san properly understood me . I was well aware how gentle and strict he was . That was why his message reached me . I couldnt run away, I had to fight back

Thats why Ill do as Usato-san says and face Mina .

He sure is asking for something unreasonable in a situation like this .

Hes the best master . Just when I was about to run, he made sure to advise me stand back up .

I see . But you know, dont think you can surpass me with that .

10 magic orbs floated in Minas hands .

She could fire them at any time . I would have tried to escape a moment ago but it was different now .

Fuuh

I focused and cladded my entire body with healing magic .

I was only using the minimum amount of healing magic before but now I was using all of it .

Ill defeat you .

You shouldnt say something you cant do .

Yeah, I wont say it anymore . Thats why This will be the last .

I ran .

It wasnt for evasion . I wanted to defeat Mina and headed straight for her . As an obvious response, Mina scattered her magic orbs . But I wont run away anymore . No matter how much power her explosion magic held, I had already resolved myself to oppose her .

I plunged forward while crossing my arms to protect my face .

O, oooooooh!

The resulting explosions pelted me with pebbles . Wounds appeared all over my body but I didnt stop . This pain was nothing compared to the torment I suffered until now .

Oooooh!!

Hot wind started to scald me next .

It felt like my entire body was burning but compared to the sense of loss of being abandoned by my own parents, it was nothing .

Without realizing it, tears started flowing down from my eyes without stopping . I continued to advance while operating my healing magic

Nack, you . ! Blood!?

An orb of magic headed straight for me right after I smacked my lips . There wasnt much power since it was immediately created but it was more than enough to knock me out cold .

Normally, I should probably avoid it .

But Im a healing magician . No matter what I face or how absurd it is, Im a magician that will overcome it with my own body .

If its just pain, I could endure it!

During my run, my shirt was all worn-out and destroyed . I clenched my right fist and wound up

BREAKKKK!!

Wha!?

I struck the orb of magic with my right fist .

I was enveloped in the explosion and burned . A different type of pain assaulted and suffocated me . It was so painful that I couldnt even scream But I was still conscious .

!

That was close . My fist was covered in injuries but I managed to drown out Minas explosion magic . I shook my hand . Mina was holding her shield and staring at me with her eyes wide open .

We are now finally facing each other .

We were finally able to face each other .

I realized I was really facing Mina head on .

As expected, I really was afraid of Mina .

What I wrote in my diary about you, it was something I did to deceive myself . All those words were a bluff to hide my own nervousness . Im cowardly and timid . On top of all that, Im just a big idiot who was unconsciously running away .

Aaaaaah!!

I frantically stabilized my trembling legs and took a step forward .

I couldnt lift my legs to kick . I couldnt lift my right hand either .

But its not like I couldnt do anything . Even without those, I still have my body!! I could still run with my legs!!

I roared out and started to dash towards Mina with heavy and powerful steps .

What can you do with that body of yours!? Just stop it already! Youre going to die at this rate, you know!?

I felt like I would collapse but I used all my strength to move forward .

Anyone who was watching expected that there was nothing I could do .

But Usato-san would probably overcome the situation with his body no matter what!!

And for me to enter the Rescue Squad just like him, this is a big step for me!!

Ill use everything and ram it right into Minas shield!!

Ramming with your body Guh!?

Instead of relying on my kick, I leapt and hurled myself at Mina .

I launched myself with all my power and crashed into Minas shield with my left shoulder . I heard something snap but I ignored it and pushed myself forward with my legs .

The shield was planted firmly in the ground and didnt move . However, I didnt stop and continued to advance .

I! I was scared of you! I didnt want to see your face!! When I look at you I end up remembering the time I was still a noble When I was still loved by my parents!! Thats why!!

. . !!

My eyes were still overflowing with tears .

Mina was looking at my face from behind the shield She let out only a small voice but she suppressed it .

But Im going to end it today!! Today . Today, I will . !! Enter the Rescue Squad!!

I dont mind even if this becomes a monologue .

Its just absolutely necessary for me to declare this to separate from you and bid farewell to my past .

AND BECOME A HEALING MAGICIANNNNN!!

I shouted and pushed with even more force . The crack at the shields center started to widen and the shield itself was lifted off the ground Then it broke right in half .

The shield was split in two . There was nothing obstructing my path anymore . I rammed my entire body at Mina

*

Haah . Haah .

Mina was blown away by my ramming attack and hit the ground .

I checked her condition while out of breath, and then I fell to my knees .

I have almost no magic left and my entire body is in pain . Im really tired .

. . I did it . Did I win?

My vision was somewhat hazy but I could make out my surroundings . The spectating students stared, dumbfounded, with their mouths open . Usato-san let out a sigh of relief .

I see . I won .

Due to my strange victory, I felt joy . Apart from that, I felt a great sense of relief .

Not yet Its not over yet

!?

Mina had fallen and was spitting out blood from her mouth . Even so, her eyes looked odd and were focused on me . She started gathering magic in her hand and aimed it towards me .

Just as I was about to stand up, strength wouldnt enter my body . Consequently, my legs grew weaker and I ended up sitting down .

Theres no way I would lose to you . Youre the only one I cant let go!

Why

Why go so far, that Im the only one you wont let go?

Why me? Arent there other people besides me? I dont understand the reason . Why are you so fixated on me?

I was paralyzed by an unknown fear .

Nack-kun! Get away!!

Halfa San?

Halfa-san shouted while looking flustered .

We never really talked . Why are you showing such an expression and shouting in panic?

While I dazedly thought this, I looked towards Mina . She was gathering her magic again and attempting something .

But something is different . Its not like orbs of magic were being converged in one place, the magic in her hand It was like Usato-sans

Nack! Its Reinforcement! Wait right there, Im coming!!

Eh?

Reinforcement .

If I recall, Carla-sensei mentioned it was a difficult technique that only skilled magicians could use . But Mina was trying to do that right now . Halfa-san and Usato-san called out to me . Their expressions clearly didnt look calm . Isnt this fairly dangerous?

Whats more, its Minas explosion magic . She was born with explosion magic, and if she uses Reinforcement on that If her magic is strengthened recklessly, I might not be the only one who will be harmed . It might even injure the other people here .

I have to get away .

If I dont get away, Ill get caught in the explosion and die .

As I thought that and was about to stand up I noticed .

Hah .

This isnt the time to be stunned .

This isnt the time to think about running away, right . ?

Figuratively speaking Even if the people who live here were to desert me, that shouldnt be a reason for me to not save them . That would disqualify me from the Rescue Squad .

Nack!? What are

I looked at Usato-san who was making his way over here for a moment before running towards Mina . My left shoulder was broken and I couldnt use it . Then I had no choice but to use my burned right arm . I focused my remaining magic and put everything into my right arm I recklessly loaded in my magic . I slapped my trembling legs and forcefully continued to run .

Like hell I can bear to part With you! If I let you go . .

Her hand was overloaded with an excessive amount of magic power . She was injured and the laceration was overflowing . It was painful enough to make her shed tears, but even so, she was willing to go that far to defeat me . Seeing her like that, I held a feeling inside me that I couldnt express . In spite of that, I kept running towards her .

Even if she oppressed me, there was no way I could just let her die . That wouldnt be good . Ill have to include her if I want to save everyone . For that sake, I have to make her faint right now .

Usato-san is still far away I have no choice but to finish this myself .

Lets end this

I immediately arrived right in front of her . She looked up at me . Her eyes were filled with some kind of obsession as she looked at me . It seemed like she was staring at me with those eyes for quite some time .

The next moment, her hand started to shine brightly and was about to fire off But I covered my right hand with healing magic, grabbed her hand and brought it down .

Ah .

There was definitely a response .

I could feel it .

After a few moments, a burst of light spread out around us .

I didnt know whether it was my magic or Minas that produced it .

But It was very nostalgic .

That was what I thought about that light . I had exhausted all my strength and magic . I brought out everything that I could possibly muster . My body felt unsteady and it violently shook . Before long, I collapsed while my view was hazy from the light .

Just as I was about to fall to the ground, someone supported me .

My vision finally cleared, and as I looked at the person who supported me

Nack, are you okay!?

Usato San .

Usato-sans forehead was dripping with sweat . He looked relieved and exhaled while carrying me . I felt a warm aura from the hand that was supporting me . From that fact, I knew he was in the process of using his healing magic on me .

Im glad, it looks like youre fine . You injuries arent a big deal Yeah, theyll recover in no time .

Mina is?

Shes safe . She just fainted thanks to you . The magic she gathered has lost its function and is now being dispersed .

Looks like I made it .

Although I only intended on making her faint, I was really crossing a dangerous bridge just now . It was a little late now but I couldnt help but feel a sense of chill of the situation I was just in .

Thanks to you, a lot of people including me were saved . You can be proud .

I Really

Yeah, you definitely have the qualification to enter the Rescue Squad . Furthermore

Since I still couldnt move, Usato-san changed his orientation until I could see Mina .

She was unconscious . But then I noticed something completely different than before .

It looks like your healing magic has returned to its original form .

. . Eh .

The injury is gone .

In the fight with Mina just now, she inflicted a wound on herself with her own Reinforcement . But it was completely gone now .

Seeing that she was safe, I couldnt help but look at Usato-san .

It wasnt me, okay? When I arrived next to her, she was already healed . Thats why, this is what you did . I dont understand the reason behind it but Perhaps you can use healing magic on others because you thought about saving other people again?

Thought about saving others

As healing magicians, thats the most important thing for us . You were able to regain that at the very last moment . Youve severed the ties from your past and on top of that, you personally tried to save the girl that oppressed you .

Upon hearing Usato-sans words, I gathered magic in my right hand .

My magic was pretty much exhausted so I could only gather healing magic at the very tip of my finger . However, I could properly see the green light on my finger . I couldnt help but think of just how precious this was . I wrapped that light with my fist and grasped tightly .

It was always here But I could only think of myself during those hard times . I was suffering so much that I couldnt even worry about others Before I knew it, I tucked it away inside me But It finally came back . I wont ever let go of it again . I will never forget this feeling again . .

I pressed my fist on my forehead and spoke with some excitement in my voice to Usato-san .

Usato-san listened in silence . He smiled and started to walk .

Now you have the potential to endure even harsher training than yesterdays . Leader should accept you with no complaints . At any rate, you really did your best Ah .

?

Look, the people who want to congratulate you on your victory before anything else are coming this way .

I wiped my tears and looked at where Usato-san was walking .

When I did, I could see the people who had supported me coming this way
