“《治癒》” [TN: Chiyu, Heal]
The reason I chanted it out was to allow John-sensei to understand what magic I was casting on him. Even if I didn’t say it out now, I would still have to explain later. That and how I arrived here.
Looking at his bare skin through the torn shirt, I saw that, despite being a scholar, he had a relatively well-toned body, somewhat erotic looking. My inferiority complex was acting up, so I casted 1 more magic on top of it.
“《修復》” [TN: Shuufuku, Mend]
Sensei’s bruises as well as his torn shirt began mending up and as a side-effect, Sensei’s face regained his color. Relieved at that, I was glad I made it in time.
Smiling, I walked towards Sensei.
” ….Who are you? ”
Sensei asked, guarding himself from me as he stood up and backed away.
….That hurt.
Well, it was questionable if a 4 year old was able to kick a grown man flying then fire 2 spells conservatively like it was normal. Even so…
” It’s me. It’s Will, Sensei. ”
Being questioned like that still hurt. Plus I did not have anything that I could use to identify myself. Asking that question despite knowing me… There was no one else, wasn’t it?
Seeing me with my slumped shoulders, John-sensei concluded that I had no will to fight him at all. He began to slowly and timidly approach me.
…. Am I a rare animal?
” …Really? ”
” Yes, really! ”
” No, I mean, that magic and that fighting ability… ”
Obviously, I was being suspected. I understood how you felt, I really did. But…
” I kept it all a secret to everyone. ”
I smiled mischievously.
Now, how I made him believe me… Ah, this would be the best way to convince him I guess…
I grinned and approached Sensei.
“《転移》” [TN: Teni, Teleport]
The destination? My room of course.
◆
I was feeling hot.
The increasing cuts were definitely sapping my strength.
I had no useful information that the Anti-Kingdom faction (Veltor) wanted…even if I did, I would not give it away to them.
Nevertheless, I did not know what Brother was thinking as he cut at me with his knife, kicked my stomach, and performed acts after acts of violence like an interrogation / torture.
….In this case, it was really an interrogation.
Even if I was living with the Beryl’s, I was only an educator. I would not have been given any sensitive information nor would I know any. What I did, was to only teach Will.
And it looked like this idiot noble (Brother) did not understand this fact.
Plus, unlike the Veltor House, the Beryl’s did nothing illegal. With Gion-sama’s character, they never will. Thus, it would be useless even if I promised to search for any dirt they had.
Wheezing sounds were heard as I breathed.
And the rope binding me had been made to look like no magic had been cast on it.
……..Damn it…
The moment I was about to moan from the pain, the knife attacks stopped and something strong and heavy was heard clashing.
….What happened?
As I was tied up and lying on the ground, I could not see what was happening. My heart was racing right now. Then I heard footsteps approaching. Soft and light. Sounds like a person with a small build.
… Did he come to help?… No, perhaps Father got disappointed with Brother, who, after so long, was unable to draw any information out of me and sent another one of his goons to do the job.
I wanted to clear my head and think but right now, I was really too tired to do any of that.
The sound of the footsteps stopped once it reached me and much to my surprise, vanquished the rope with magic.
… What magic. Be it the huge mana, or the complex spell and above all, it was done chantlessly. What a remarkable magician. He interested me.
[TN: Since John researches magic, I’m pretty sure he means it scientifically. No Y- guys.]
And yet.
When I was lifted up and that magician entered my vision, the one I saw was…
” …..W..Will…? Why…..? ”
It was Will. And I was unable to stop myself from questioning who I saw.
” Rather than that.. ”
Cutting off my sentence, that person who looked like Will gave a gentle smile, like how Will used to.
“《治癒》” [TN: Chiyuu, Heal]
I questioned my ears when I heard the next word that came out of his mouth. ….Chiyuu? I was shocked by how the person I thought to be my enemy, was healing me right now. But rather than that…
