The next morning, the haze in my mind was cleared a little by Hirai san’s sincere apology.
I went to school for the time being, but due to the indecent incident that occurred during yesterday’s lunch break, the school was closed again today.
I didn’t feel like going home because I didn’t know if my father was home or not, and Hashida was also gone, so on a whim I decided to take part in some kind of combat training.
The place was the arena where we had the candy auction.
The A students were already lined up, and a knight-like man in armor was standing in front of them. He was a little late and looked at me as if to glare at me.
“….I heard from Limona sama. You are the Transfer Hero, aren’t you?”
“Well.”
“……You haven’t participated in training for the past five days. You’re late when you think you’ve finally participated, which is good courage. No matter how good 7 star skills you have, you have to polish them to make them stronger. For example, my skill is a 2-star skill, but even so, I could easily defeat you if you didn’t hone your skills at all.”
I silently shoved my hands in my pockets and wondered if I should transfer a coin to this knight’s lap.
No, I’m still waiting to see how it goes. I can understand this knight’s point.
“Heh. Shall we give it a try then?”
I have enough transfer skills to defeat an A+ mutant cyclops, and my adventurer rank is about to reach S. I’m sure this knight, who seems to be improving his skills, will be able to show me the difference between my abilities and those of others.
Just as I was thinking that, the knight’s movement became shaky. I sense the danger and use [Transfer[ to instantly distance myself from the knight by about 10 meters.
“About your transfer ability. I knew you would keep your distance.”
However, it was as if the knight had really read the location of my appearance and was cutting into me.
Amazing. It’s impossible for me, who can shift anywhere within visual range, to read which direction he’s going to shift, but he’s attacking just in time.
Is that the kind of skill he has? I shift another 10 meters or so, and on the assumption that I will be read, I immediately shift once more to another location.
I see a sword flying in front of me, so I open the gate. The destination is the knight’s back. However, the knight just barely avoided it and the sword pierced the ground.
Oh, he also avoided this. Amazing.
“Amazing. What kind of ability is that?”
“……[Bird’s-eye View] the ability to look in all directions.”
Heh. So that’s why he was able to avoid the sword. In that case, it seems like this person’s reflexes are even more amazing than his abilities. But if it’s that kind of ability, there are ways to deal with it.
“It is true that your ability to transfer is powerful. If you train hard,…..you will be able to get the best out of it. G-guhhh ! W-what are you !”
The knight was so annoying that I transferred the coins to his knees. The knight collapses.
It is possible to deal with it from a Bird’s-eye View, but it would be impossible to see the coins in my pockets shift to the inside of his body in an instant.
Well, with that much reflexes and that ability, it would be possible to show off my power to my classmates who only received subtle skills, but he is the wrong opponent.
“So, if I train hard,…..what was it?”
“Grrrh. You monster. ……M-Ms. Hirai. I’m wounded. I’m sorry, but I need you to heal me.”
“……Why?”
Hirai san coldly dismissed the knight’s words. The knight looks stunned.
“w-well……I was injured by the attack of the Transfer Hero in the current training, so I want you to heal me–‘
Hirai san turns her cold eyes toward me.
“– but from Ito kun’s point of view, do you think it would be better to heal it?”
“……If Hirai san doesn’t want to heal it, I won’t force you to do so.”
“I see. I’ll get it fixed then. You should be thankful for Ito kun’s open-mindedness.”
At the same time as a faint light appeared from Hirai san’s palm, her face contorted in pain. Next, she looks as if she has noticed something strange.
“I see. …..This is not so easy to heal.”
Hirai san pulls out a knife from her waist and slowly stabs it into the knight’s knee.
“Agghh, w-what are you doing !”
The knight, suddenly stabbed in the knee with a knife, almost punched Hirai san, but Hirai san pointed the knife, stained red with the knight’s blood, in front of the knight and threatened him, [I won’t heal you.]
She sticks her finger into the knight’s wound, who falls silent.
“Geeaaaahhhh ! ! ! !”
The knight let out a scream so loud and pathetic that it was hard to believe he was a knight. Even though Hirai san had her nails torn off, she didn’t scream for some reason.
Hirai san threw away the 10 yen coin, which was crooked and covered in blood, and healed the knight’s knee again. Even then, Hirai san’s expression was distorted with pain.
“O-ouch,……heal more carefully, you stupid ! !”
The knight stood up without a word of thanks in an arrogant manner. I was displeased, so I put my hands in my pockets again, leaving both knees broken.
“Gyaaa, agh, again ! ! Ms. Hirai !”
Hirai san looks at me again with cold eyes.
“You don’t have to heal him. I hate that guy.”
“I see.”
Hirai san smiled for the first time. The smile brought back memories of when Hirai san had done terrible things to me in the past and sent shivers down my spine.
Hirai san walks towards me with a snake-like smile on her face and grabs my hand tightly like a lover.
“It looks like you’re off from training today, so why don’t you join us for a chat?”
“I-I’d like that.”
The trauma of being abused flashes back to me. I’m scared. But I remember the image of Hirai san apologizing sincerely to me with tears streaming down her face, her fingernails peeling off, and licking her shoes.
There is no need to be frightened anymore. –I need to overcome my trauma in order to truly be free from the horrific days of my abuse.
Hirai san is just the right person for rehabilitation.
I was shown to Hirai san’s room.
Hirai san’s room is about one-third the size of my room, but it is not small at all. Her ability as a healer who can heal injuries is probably enough to be treated favorably.
“…Come to think of it, that ability of Hirai san–does it require a price each time you use it?”
“I think so. Well, it’s more a matter of characteristics than compensation —-My [Heal] is the ability to heal any injured or sick person. Although it’s inferior to Ito kun, it’s still a 5-star ability.
So when it comes to healing my own wounds, I can use it as much as I want without limitation. But when it comes to healing others, it’s a different story. ……In order to heal someone else’s wounds, I have to relive their pain.”
“Does that mean that when you healed that knight, you simulated the pain of a broken knee?”
“That’s what I mean. ….I like my ability to do this, even though I’m a pain tolerant person. I’ve always been good with pain, and there was no place for it over there. Not at school, not at home.
But with the [Heal] everyone needs me. All the girls who used to mock me, all the classmates who used to ridicule me, they won’t be able to resist me just by saying, [I’m not going to heal you.] It feels good. I have a place in this world.”
Hirai san sounds truly happy. I hated her smile.
“Ito kun. This world is a good world. At least for people like you and me. –As long as you have strong skills, you will never be bullied again, and you will never feel bad about it. On the contrary, we can impose our unreasonableness on them.”
I know the feeling. Watching my classmates pay a lot of money for snacks, and watching them argue desperately for their lunches, I was truly amused.
If I have this skill, I will never be bullied again. In fact, I would be able to repay my former tormentors and mockers a thousandfold.
Perhaps Hirai san is like me, but she is definitely different.
Unlike me, Hirai san has nothing she wants to do on earth. That is why she has accepted life in this world. Because I understood this, I gently and tenderly held Hirai san’s hand.
I recalled the Class A Classroom at Efuran High School, which is now empty.
I took Hirai san with me and transferred to the earth.
