167. Rescue (2)

I kept talking to the student while closing the small wounds with healing magic.

「This much accomplishment for the first training camp just after enrolling is enough. The president will also praise us.」

「I hope so.」

「I think my Master will appreciate it.」Arti said.

「If even the president’s direct disciple says so, then it might be so.」the student said, smiling slightly for the first time.

The student seems to have recovered mentally.

When we get back to the academy, I have to tell Xenovia to praise him just in case.

The student’s mental state was restored, so I started the painful and highly invasive treatment.

「This is going to hurt. We need to restore the bones to their original form before applying healing magic.」

「Okay, do it.」

「I’ll do it in the blink of an eye. Bear with me.」

I returned the bent right knee to its original position in one go.

「Guu!」

The student shut his eyes tight, groaned, clenched his hands into a fist and endured the pain.

When the bone was returned to the correct position, I immediately connected the bones with healing magic and closed the wound.

I did the same for the left knee without pause.

The student endured the same way for the second time.

Next was the treatment of the right shin where the bone had popped out.

After returning the bone to its original position with force, I applied healing magic.

「You should be okay now.」

「Thank you. You are much more amazing than I thought.」

「It’s natural. I am the disciple of the Small Sage.」

While saying so, I covered the student with a waterproof cloth.

「Fluffy.」

「Pii.」

Fluffy dried the student inside of the waterproof cloth as before.

In the meantime, I talked to the remaining two students who were standing at the side.

「Are you guys okay? Show me.」

「We’re really okay. It’s just scratches.」

「They were likely using poison. Even scratches are dangerous.」

「Ah, right…」

The two students turned pale when they heard that they might be poisoned.

「Since you’re tense right now, you probably don’t notice the symptoms. But you two are definitely poisoned.」

It was also raining. So it is easy to misunderstand that the reason you are not feeling well is due to the cold of the rain. Making it more difficult to notice chills and nausea caused by poison.

「But detoxification is–」

「You don’t have to worry about that. I know how to detoxify without identifying the poison.」

It is troublesome to explain every time, but it can’t be helped.

It is common sense that the poison must be identified in order to detoxify it.

「How is that possible?」

「For more information, ask Tina after returning to the academy.」

While talking about such things, I cast detoxification magic and healing magic on the two students.

Looking at the scratches on them, it wasn’t as shallow as they believed.

They were only able to maintain a fighting posture because they had steeled their minds.

「The treatment is over… but it will be difficult to return to the base camp with two seriously injured people.」

When I looked towards the others to discuss what to do,

「Hmm, I know. I’ll take them back.」Rosetta said with a smile.

「It might be difficult for Rosetta alone. So I will accompany them as well.」Tina said.

「Will, Arti, leave this to us and go support Jema-sensei.」Rosetta said.

「Thank you.」I said, and was about to start running.

At that very moment, I felt that someone was approaching. Specifically the presence of two people.

They approached us without trying to hide their presence. I didn’t feel any killing intent.

「We kept you waiting.」

「Everything ended safely here it seems.」

The two said, looking at the injured students..

I wasn’t acquainted with either of them.

Tina, however, called out to them.

「Teacher. You joined us for the camp?」

「Yes. I wouldn’t have appeared before you unless there was an emergency.」

「He is a teacher of the academy.」Rosetta whispered in my ear.

「Is that so?」

It was probably two of the five assistants who were following the training camp from the shadows.

The teacher looked at me from top to bottom and said,

「You’re Will, right? I heard about you from Jema-sensei. Leave the students to me and head over to Jema-sensei’s location.」

Jema has a magic tool to keep in touch with the other teachers. She must have used that to contact them. And so, two of the assistants who moved to the base camp came to help.

「Then, I’ll entrust them to you.」

「I can’t say I’m entirely satisfied to leave it to a student, but…」

As an assistant, he probably wants to go rescue Jema. I understand his feelings. If I were in the same position, I would want to do the same too.

However, the teacher smiled.

「It’s Jema-sensei’s instructions. It can’t be helped. Will, I heard that you’re strong, but you’re still a student. Just be careful.」

「Yes, teacher. You should be careful too.」

And I started running.

Arti, Tina, Rosetta, Shiro and Fluffy also followed along. Fay was still in my clothes.
