Muscles ache again?

When I wake up in the morning, every knot in my body hurts.

'I knew that's what happens when you get carried away.

My muscles have been aching every morning for the past week, but I've made it up as I go along.

But I made it up as I went along.

The day after the first day of training, my muscles didn't ache, so my body is young and my physical abilities are higher than in my previous life.

I decided that and got on with it.

'Instructor Brod, it was definitely hard during the training, but I didn't have any sore muscles, so why don't you work out more?'

It was such a ridiculous suggestion.

''Ho. I didn't think a healer would be so rigid as to suggest such a thing.

I still remember the look in Instructor Brod's eyes at that time.

His eyes were like a hunter who had found his prey, and they seemed to glint and shine so brightly.

Why did I get carried away at that time? I was beginning to feel a terrible feeling of regret and a chill running down my spine.

'Don't rest, don't think about the pace, just run faster.'

From that day on, he was made to run as fast as he could around the edge of the training ground.

'Can you take down a demon with such slender fists? "Lower your stance and rotate your hips. Don't stop the attack with a single blow. Demons can't be that weak, can they? Do you want to die? Hmm? If you're not responding, does that mean you want to die?

An uncommon sense of intimidation was slowly closing in on me.

The fear of Instructor Brod, who was gradually approaching me, was anything but ordinary.

His body becomes so terrifying that his body becomes heavy as if he had put lead on it, and I force out my clenched fists and manage to kick out with my legs, which have become like sticks.

I imagined that if I didn't do that, I would die, so I forced myself to keep attacking.

But they were avoided, and the damage accumulated in both hands and feet as they were handled while deprived of strength.

Still, the training is not over.

'Is it over? Do you want to die? All right. All right, we'll come to you. Don't you dwell on it, kid. Now, get on the defensive. If you can't, avoid it.

The damage had accumulated and I was having difficulty moving. Knowing this, Instructor Brod begins attacking here as well, moving slowly. He also attacks while assessing my limits.

I switched from offensive to defensive training, and as I managed to block the attack, I was in agony from the unimaginable pain.

That's what happens when you don't think about it. Attacks have meaning, and if you don't respond properly, you'll get hurt like that. Watch it, think about it, and try your best to remember it!

Such was my healing time with the injured adventurers who visited me in between training sessions.

Under the watchful eye of Instructor Brod, I would chant heels to the adventurers. This time served as a break for me.

My current schedule, in which I am strictly prohibited from using heels on myself, is more than eight hours a day of physical fitness and physical training, with breaks in between from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

I'm very grateful for the breaks.

After all, I created this environment for myself.

I've pushed myself to the point where I can't take care of myself.

The only thing I look forward to is having three meals a day. This meal is much tastier than in my previous life.

The food served by Guruger, the dog-beast man, is different each time, and he has a large repertoire of dishes.

The meat also comes from just grilled steaks to hamburgers, stews like beef stew and pot-au-feu, things like yakiudon noodles and even stewed vegetables. They are all lavishly flavored with spices.

Yes, they are all lavish with spices. There are a lot of spices used in these dishes.

And although they don't use raw vegetables, you can't go wrong with a nutritious hot vegetable salad for breakfast.

If there is a problem, it is with the amount of vegetables, but they always say the same thing about it, "Eating is also a quality of the adventurer.

Eating is one of the qualities of an adventurer. Eat up!

Like any club, you're not allowed to leave behind. Not even this... Oh.

Here. Here, take these too.

There was another problem. They always make me drink that object X that comes out after every meal.

I really don't want this one to happen.

This is how I had spent the week eating into my training, desperately trying not to escape.

No, to be precise, if I had tried to escape, I would have been caught.

I'm currently believed to be under the watchful eye of not only Instructor Brod and Mr. Grugar, but also the adventurers.

I don't know why, but every time I try to escape, I'm called out to them.

''Oh heal me, heal me, please.''

I don't have the courage to ignore it when told that by a strong adventurer.

I'm sure that's not the only way to prevent escape.

I've been in your debt for a while now.

The adventurers and guild staff also give me clothes and accessories as gifts, so my personal belongings accumulate in the Adventurer's Guild's nap room.

Thus, even getting out of the Adventurer's Guild is becoming more and more difficult.

'Well, maybe I'm just overthinking things.

After muttering that and finishing my week of reminiscing, I headed to the cafeteria as usual after I finished my training in heeling, meditation, magic manipulation and magic control.

''Oh kid. You're early today.''

When I arrived at the dining room, Instructor Brod was already there.

Good morning, sir. Instructor Brod is early, isn't he? Ah, Mr. Gruger. Breakfast, please.

All right. I'm gonna start eating a little more today.

After saying something ominous, Mr. Gruger disappeared into the kitchen.

Then, when we were alone, Instructor Brod slowly opened his mouth to me.

'Kid, let me make it clear at this point that you have no natural talent for martial arts.

Instructor Brod's serious eyes caught mine.

'Yes. I was dimly aware of that.'

I nodded to myself. That's something I've learned all too well over the past week.

I can't see through an attack and I can't even get the hang of it. So I knew I had no talent for martial arts.

'But the boy does have the talent to try.

Closing his eyes, Instructor Brod slowly muttered and nodded.

'What? Oh, thank you very much.

I scratch my cheek, a little embarrassed.

'I'm not giving up on you as long as you keep trying. Besides, if you keep at it, you'll be able to at least defend yourself.

He said that as he opened his eyes again and looked at me.

'In the meantime, please take care of me.'

''Good. After we've finished eating, we'll start today with some serious physical fitness and training with our weapons.

With those words, I felt my instructor's eyes light up again, just like before.

I thought at this moment.

(Maybe I'll die lightly.)

I was seriously thinking that.

Then Mr. Gruger brought me the food. However, the meal, which was definitely 20% larger in volume than yesterday's, and the amount of object X was also 50% larger for some reason, and I was depressed from the start.

'Let's just eat and drink and go work out.

I had no choice but to hurry up and take my meal when Instructor Brod told me to, but I almost reversed everything when I finished off the object X.

However, I felt intimidated by Mr. Grugar's intimidation and managed to stop. Is everyone in this guild half as intimidating as I am? With that in mind, I headed to the training grounds.

''Alright. From today onwards, once you've eaten, you'll be sure to learn this throwing technique for an hour.''

I was told that when I entered the training area and was given a stone that looked like it was lying around.

''Um, the throwing technique is throwing this stone?''

'Yes. First the stone, then the dagger, and finally the short spear will be thrown. So first the stones.

It was a training stone, or maybe it was a training stone, round and easy to hold and quite light.

'Is there anything I should be aware of?'

At first, concentrate on hitting it. I'm not going to be the only one who can do that. This is just a check to keep the little boy, who is a healer, away from the enemy. Keep in mind that it's not something that will take down your opponent.

So that's what happened. I nodded my head in agreement and replied.

'Yes.'

Thus, I spent my days shuttling back and forth between the Adventurers' Guild's napping room, the cafeteria and the training grounds.

As a result, I began to be recognized by the adventurers as a healer of the Adventurers' Guild, and after a month, I was mistaken for an employee of the Adventurers' Guild.

Good. You've worked hard for a month, anyway. Now you can pay the healers this year's offerings.

When Instructor Brod and I had breakfast together the next day after a month of training, what was handed to me was twelve silver coins.

'What? What is this money?

'Well, I've been heeling over adventurers every day for that long. That's the reward from the Adventurer's Guild.

But that's in the client fee, right?

I'd like to get the real story, but sometimes you have to build it. So I put a cushion in it.

'Take it. But the kid's body art is still a bit of a chick. So you'll continue your training today.

Instructor Brod grinned. I had a little bad feeling about that, but I decided to take it.

''I understand. Then I'll go to the Healer's Guild once I've had my breakfast.

Yeah.

I went straight to the Healer's Guild with the silver coins I received and decided to pay the tax offering.

The town of Meratni, which I hadn't been to in a while, hadn't changed at all.

'It hasn't changed at all. It's only been a little over a month since I came to this world, so if it has changed, is that a problem? But still, I wonder when in the world I'll be able to afford to see the city.

With that muttering, I entered the Healers Guild.

'Welcome to the Church of St. Surul, the Healer's Guild, and the Melatni Chapter.

As I walked in, a woman called out to me.

'Hi,'

I said hello and then headed to the counter. Apparently neither Krull nor Monica was there.

'Excuse me. I'd like to pay my offerings, if that's alright?

I tell the woman at the counter.

Thank you. Now if you would, would you please take out your Healer's Guild card?

Yes, sir.

I hand over the card.

"You must be Healer Rank G, Master Luciel. The payment for one month is one silver coin, is that correct?

'Can I pay you first for the eleven remaining silver coins for that year?

Yes. But in that case, if you want to be promoted for a year, to be exact, for eleven months, you will have to make a separate donation, is that correct?

'Yes. And I'm not sure you can get promoted that easily.

Oh, by the way, did I mention that promotion is just training holy attribute magic? Did I get a detailed explanation? Well, I'll continue with my life for the time being, and I'll just come back to ask about it.

Well, I'd like to return your card.

He was polite as he said that.

On the way back to the Adventurer's Guild, the Healer's Guild was like a government office in a previous life. As I felt that, I thought deeply about how I hadn't even had time to feel it when I first came here.

A year is three hundred and sixty days, twelve months, a week is six days of light, fire, water, wind, earth, and darkness, five weeks, thirty days a month, and apparently there is something called a magic clock that is sold like the earth's clock for the time.

I couldn't afford it even now, but I hurried on my way to the Adventurer's Guild, thinking that I really couldn't afford it any more than I could now.

''Well, I'm back.''

When I returned to the Adventurer's Guild, Instructor Brod was waiting for me for some reason.

''Huh? Did you bother to wait for it (all the way)?

Perhaps they heard the voice, but behind them, Nanaela-san, the rabbit-beast receptionist, Milina-san, the human race receptionist, and Mernelle-san, another human race receptionist, were giggling.

''It's just a coincidence. Alright, let's get to training.

For some reason, the morning's training was a little harder than it had been.

After finishing lunch, Instructor Brod took out a book of magic from his cloth bag. On its cover, it was labeled as a list of holy magic low grade magic. He then placed it on the table.

''Now that you've returned to the Adventurer's Guild properly, I'll give you something useful.

'Am I an infant? Huh? What's this?

''The healer is barely halfway to being able to heal the recovery magic heel and cure the antidote. The kid can only use heels, right? Watch and learn from it.

A soppy twat? Mr. Gruger laughed at Instructor Brod of, but I knew that if I laughed, it would affect the afternoon's training, so I endured it.

'This is usually a pleasure. Thank you, sir. Me, I'll keep up the good work.

I declared.

'Oh,'

'That's all Instructor Prod replied.

'Crikey. Then drink this and go to work out.

Mr. Gruger, who had put down the object X again, the smell of it was so strong that he immediately disappeared into the kitchen.

I'm going to drink it.

It's a good thing Instructor Brod doesn't drink.

I say, a little sarcastic.

'Because I don't need it. I'll go ahead.'

Instructor Brod said and headed off to the training grounds.

I let out a sigh, then patiently drank down my Object X and followed Instructor Brod.
