Chapter 15

AS Chapter 15~Curse~

After listening to the circumstances, I glanced at the hero’s injuries, they were fairly severe .

There were various injuries both big and small all over his body, and the places where his arms had been broken were swelling up with purple bruises .

「…you, didn’t lose consciousness . 」

「Aah, I was also surprised, but if I don’t protect our classmates, no one will . 」

I laughed scornfully, at the hero who said something like that .

It was obvious to see that he was offended .

He thought that I would continue to, purposely say something that didn’t take him into consideration .

Most likely, if I didn’t say it, this guy, and my classmates would never realize it .

「Then, who will protect you?」

「…that is . 」

The look in the hero’s eyes changed when he saw the Commander and Minotaur’s fight .

I feel like this was the first time in a while that he’s really opened his eyes .

「Doesn’t the hero exist to protect everyone? You should use your power to defeat the demon king . 」

Behind us, my classmates were quietly listening to what I was saying .

They were getting a little noisy because of my blunt words, but afterwards, it seems that they were waiting to see what I was going to say next

「You need to take better care of yourself . 」

「…then, who should protect everyone?」

The hero sullenly said this, to me who didn’t say anything .

I sneered .

「They should protect themselves . 」

It was extremely obvious .

In the first place, I wouldn’t use a skill for anyone but myself .

Even if, I used a skill to save my classmate, that was only because I wanted to save them .

The hero’s eyes widened as if he had just realized it .

In the first place, why would you go as far as to even protect those who have combat-oriented occupations?

I was playing hooky, but everyone properly received training, right?

This guy, as expected, he’s an idiot .

「For my sake? …no, but, I’m the hero… . I, the hero, is supposed to save everyone… . 」

The hero suddenly turned strange .

He was holding his head and groaning .

I felt extremely uneasy .

Something’s wrong .

No, his head had always been weird though .

「…oi, is there a cleric or a exorcist?」

One thing came to mind, and when I called out, two girls from my class timidly stepped forward .

「I’m a cleric . 」

「Ahma exorcist but…what happened ta Tsukasa-kun? 」

「We will find out right now . 」

If I remember correctly, the cleric was the class representative, Hosoyama Shiori-san .

The spell breaker with a Kansai accent was the, always full of energy…I think, Ueno Yuuki-san .

…even though I don’t remember anything about that person, I matched her name with her face, I’m amazing .

Although I said that, I only remembered these classmates because of their occupations though… .

「First of all, can you heal the bone fracture on his arms?」

「Ye, yeah, it’ll take some time though . 」

I nodded, and told her to start right away .

Immediately, a pale light enveloped his arms .

As if he were someone who was afraid of thunder, he crouched down and covered his head, but it shouldn’t be painful?

「Whatta ‘bout me? What should ah do?？」

‘Think about it yourself, if you look at the hero’s condition, even an idiot would understand,’while I was thinking that, I kindly, carefully, and thoroughly told them what to do .

Although whether or not that was what actually happened, there’s no evidence .

「This guy, perhaps he was being brainwashed . That’s why, cast 『Dispel』 . 」

「Haa??? 」

The classmates behind us were also getting noisy .

Ueno-san didn’t know what to do either, but she started chanting right away .

「…Oh curse, oh curse that is corroding our friend’s soul, begone immediately, disappear…『Dispel』 . 」

The hero was shining with a pale light .

It was different from Hosoyama’s healing light, it was black .

Ueno-san saw that and gasped .

「Tsukasa-kun, was reahlly cursed!」

I glanced over at the Commander who was in the middle of combat .

A fairly high-leveled battle was unfolding .

…I want to join them .

It should be fine to leave this to Hosoyama-san and Ueno-san .

However, there was an indescribable uneasiness growing in my heart .

And then, a boy who had been silent until now suddenly spoke up .

「Akira, we’re fine here, so go help Saran-san and the others . You, are stronger than us, right?」

「We’ve already come to a resolution . We can’t keep burdening Tsukasa forever . 」

「…you guys . 」

There was strong determination within those eyes .

「Come on, go . 」

Having been urged, I reluctantly moved towards the Minotaur .

Not having a dagger at the moment, I could only use my skills .

Nevertheless, I had a plan to get us out of this stalemate .

「Commander Saran!」

「Akira-kun, is everything fine over there?」

When I ran up to Commandr Saran, he said that without looking back .

Even though he said some things, it seems that he was worried about my classmates .

「About that, a spell…it has been confirmed that a curse was put on the hero . An exorcist is breaking the curse right now, but the quickest way would probably be to directly kill the guy that put it on him . 」

I don’t think that it was because Ueno-san was unskilled, the curse was too powerful .

「…I understand . I’ll look into it . 」

「Please . …and, I want to try that . 」

「…that, is it . 」

I left the curse to the Commander-san, so now we needed to finish this up .

Commander-san hesitated, but I think that it’s quite the effective skill .

「I’ll do as Commander Saran says . …Everything is, so that I can survive . 」
