2-01 Healer Guild

The sky is clear and the road we walk on is a city road so it's easy to walk.

'I thought it was quite a distance but it's really far. It's too scary because I can see the demons, though from a distance, from a moment ago. I really don't want you to send me to another world without help. The only redeeming feature is that the stone I picked up looks easy to throw. Huh~ Am I going to be able to live properly in this world? Oh, I'm super scared.

I keep walking, talking to myself and trying not to lose my mind.

I don't have a cheat like the main character in the novel, nor do I have the courage to do so.

If I'm attacked, I feel like I could lose to a standard goblin.

Now, I'm going to survive.

That's all I could think of.

I'm relieved to finally see a shadow of a man in sight as I check my surroundings and with about three hundred meters left to go to town, I walk slowly and yet quickly to the place that looks like a gate.

But it's a magnificent exterior wall. If it's this great, the inside must be pretty neat too.

I walked closer to the gates of the city, looking at the craggy outer walls, which I hadn't seen in my previous life, as I mentioned that.

Apparently I needed my ID to enter the city, but I waited my turn, praying to God that I could manage to get in.

'Show me your ID,'

That's what I was told by the gate soldier with the spear.

He's a little shorter than me, but his arms are about three times thicker than mine.

If I was hit by that log-like arm, I would sink with one hit.

I spun the words with these thoughts.

I have no identification card. I came to town to do menial work at the Healing Institute from today.

I told the gatekeeper that as I acted.

'What? A sanitarium? Wait a minute.

Huh? Did I do something?　I thought I used the knowledge I was given, but did I dig an unnecessary grave?

I was scared to death. Do we run?　No, if I run away, I'll be stuck with my life.

As I was thinking about this, a woman appeared with the gate soldier from earlier.

The woman, with her crystal-clear, shoulder-length blonde hair and pure white robes, exuded a beautiful and dignified atmosphere, and I watched her for a moment.

''Are you the one who wants to be in the Healing Institute?''

''Yes. I came into adulthood with an aptitude for holy magic and my JOB was a healer, so I wanted to train in this city.

'Very well. Then follow me to the Healer's Guild for identification first.

After telling her that much, the woman walked on ahead.

I thanked the gatekeeper and then asked who she was. I wondered about that, but I struggled to follow her as she walked faster and asked her a question.

'Um, won't they charge you a toll or something?'

She told me with a laugh.

'The only place in the Empire where healers need a toll is the Empire.

She also told me that there were other reasons, apparently there was a headquarters of healers in this country, and just because their profession was healers, they were treated very well.

As for additional information, if you don't have an aptitude for holy attribute magic, the matter you just mentioned will be a lie and you will be put in jail. So it seems that no one is going to make a false declaration.　

The fact that I was reincarnated in this country means that Gouun did his job as soon as possible and showed me the existence and ability of Gouun, didn't he? Feeling this way, I grinned and struggled to follow her.

As we walked along the beautiful cobblestone streets, I felt like the streets of a certain country I had wanted to visit in a previous life. While I was impressed by this, I couldn't wait for her to show me around, so I changed my mind and quickened my steps.

As I did so, she stopped in front of a large building.

'This is the Healer's Guild of St. Schuler's Church Melatni Branch.

Then he walked in and turned to me and opened his mouth.

'Welcome. Welcome to the Healers Guild.

That's how they welcomed me.

I'm so glad.

"Thank you, sir.

I was embarrassed, but I thanked her properly.

''Lady Lumina, what is the matter with you?''

Such a voice was called from the receptionist. The owner of the voice was a beautiful, slightly bewitching woman of strange age.

No, wait a minute. Wasn't this woman who showed me around before that called out to me by a code name?　Is this guide a big shot? I thought you said your name was Lumina?

I heard he was made a healer for the coming of age ceremony in his village. I thought I'd ask the Healer's Guild to verify that, and then I'd like you to make me an identity card.

Lumina explains to the receptionist as she moves to the counter.

Oh, I see. Welcome to the Healers' Guild. Welcome to the Healer's Guild. Here are the forms you will need to fill out to become a healer. Please fill them out.

At the counter they led me to, I was handed a piece of parchment.

The paper said my name, race, age, and place of birth, but I decided to play the ignorant clown by filling in all but the place of birth.

'This is where I'm from, but can't I just say village?　I didn't even know the village had a name?

'What? Oh, cohon. Well, if you don't know, that's fine.

For a moment, this receptionist what are you talking about? Didn't I see the look on your face? It only took a second.

The receptionist's smile is now unfolding as if nothing has happened.

The receptionist disappeared into the room behind me with the paper I had just filled out.

'Huh? In the village, I was just communicating with the village? This is a city, right?

I asked the woman called Lumina that and she let out a sigh.

'You're clueless,'

I was dismayed by that.

Those cold eyes are not a reward for me. It just scares me.

''I'm going to learn now.''

I lowered my head and he let out another sigh.

Not long after, the receptionist returned.

''Let the magic flow through this, please.''

He handed me a card as he said that.

........It's good that I took the magic control skill. Thanks to that, I know how to use the skill.

I pour what I think is magic power onto the card. Then the card emitted light and letters appeared.

Luciel, a G-ranked healer belonging to the Healer's Guild Melatni Branch, Luciel.

Okay, your card.

I was told that and returned it. The receptionist disappeared into the back room again, taking the card I gave her.

'What is that thing doing?'

Yeah, I've been keeping track of your cards. That way, you can use it in any guild of healers in the world.

I see.

I answered that, but what's the point of using it anywhere?　I'm curious about the premise of the trip.

Well, I guess we can ask about that in due course. That's what I was thinking.

Then the receptionist came back and returned my card.

''Thank you for your patience. You are definitely a healer. You also had magical aptitude, holy, and magic control.''

"So it's not a problem.

That's right, Lumina-san opened her mouth, but this trend is not good. So I dare to expose my shame.

''I'm sorry.　I've never used holy attribute magic, so I can't use magic yet.''

I told him honestly.

'What do you mean?'

I'm a little intimidated, Lady Lumina?

Is there a problem?　I've never read any magic books or anything like that, and I was the first healer in the village, so if there's anything that's not right, I'd like to know?

'Huh, come to think of it, you were clueless.

Lumina believed it. My ignorance from earlier helped.

''Um~ I was able to register, can't I just work somewhere menial?

When Lumina heard this, she opened her mouth.

'Here are three choices. One Spartan, one debt, and one menial job.

The Lumina? You're starting to get intimidated earlier, aren't you?

Can you tell me more about the difference?

'Hmm. In the case of Sparta, I'll chant magic until my magic power is depleted, while studying until I learn healing magic. Once you sleep and recover your magic power, you just do the same thing again. In the case of debt, there is no healing specialty, so you would have to enroll in a general school and learn magic while studying in school for three years. However, you have to return ten gold coins to the Healer's Guild to pay the debt. Lastly, it's menial work, but it's a way to learn holy attribute magic in your free time while doing chores for a year or so.

The first is the one that won't kill you but is short on time and emotionally painful.

The second is a scholarship. I know this one is pretty hard, because I've been through it in a previous life.

The third one is a chore... I don't even know if I have time to spare. But I think this is usually the most reliable one.

No, wait. Even the Spartans should be able to withstand me seeing the future. That's right. What's the point of taking a proficiency test?　As long as you have this, you shouldn't be able to mentally push yourself to that point.

I'm sure this place can be taken care of with just a little bit of gusto. I'm being promoted from an aspiring healer to an apprentice healer. That's what I'm going to do. That thought filled me with vitality.

'The Spartan course, please. I'm going to be spending a lot of time on it.

I gathered my thoughts and then said that and bowed my head.

Huh~. That sigh came from the receptionist. She opens her mouth to me as she looks up.

''Lumina-sama, please leave the rest to me here. Then you follow me over here.

The receptionist walked out of the counter and began to walk away. I didn't follow the receptionist immediately, but properly turned to Lumina once and thanked her.

"Thank you for everything, Lumina-sama?

Or not. Good luck, Mr. Luciel. I'll be looking forward to it.

She said that and looked away.

Needless to say, her dignified appearance and her beautifully captivating smile were memorized in my brain.

I followed her, apologizing to the receptionist who was waiting for me.

'Practice in this room while you read your magic book. I'll bring you some food in the morning and evening. Then when your magic power is depleted, I'm sure you won't be able to stand up, so go rest on the bed there. When you wake up, practice again. Repeat that.

With that, the receptionist left the room.

'Oh, I hadn't heard the receptionist's name and hadn't said hello. d*mn, that's the basis of being a working man. Really get your shit together, me.

I walked into the room, banging my head.

The room was a single room, and there was a toilet, but it was the type of thing you put a lid on, like in a period drama, and it was not paper, but a piece of something rumpled and rumpled.

There was no bath, of course. In addition, there were no windows, and the fact that there was no indication of time change was almost painful.

Could this environment be the cause of the depression?

With that in mind, I decided to face the magic book and the magic instruction book.

For me, this environment was the best situation to increase my proficiency.

I'll realize this later.

It's a great place to concentrate, because there's no danger to your life, you'll be provided with food and no one will disturb you.

'Spunk. You will learn your magic within ten days. Luciel, you can do it.

I made a goal and a plan to become a healer apprentice from a menial job, I told myself that and implied it.

Thus began Luciel's training in recovery magic.
