World’s Fastest Level up! - Chapter 182

The woman who appeared in front of us all of a sudden– Shizuka Nanami, the Guild Master of 【Classes】 continued while smiling.

“I’ve heard the story from Claire. You there– if I’m not wrong, you are called Amane-kun, right? I’ll take care of Amane-kun’s treatment. And since I’ll take care of it, I promise that I will nurse him back to his best condition, or even beyond that. So, you can rest assured.”

“I feel like there is a word from that statement that does not make me feel relieved, but… please take care of me.”

“Un. And the rest of you came here for joint training, right? Yoizuki and Classion have done some joint captures and joint training before. So, do use this opportunity to learn various things.”

Towards Nanami-san’s words, Rei and the others respectively answered.

“Now, I know this is too soon, but I’ll have to ask you guys to move to another place. Our C-rank adventurers have gathered in a separate room, so please train with them there.– Ukyou!”

“Ye~s”

As soon as Nanami-san shouted that name, a man with a relaxed atmosphere entered the room.

“Please guide them to the training room.”

“Understoo~d. Please follow me, everyone.”

Rei and the other two immediately followed Ukyou-san, leaving Akari who suddenly came to me and whispered.

“Rin, you…you were injured?”

“Aa. Or rather, we originally came here to get me cured, you know? You haven’t heard about it?”

“I haven’t. I just thought that Rin also came to train with us. Well, fine. If that’s the case, then I hope you get it cured soon.”

Leaving those words, Akari also leaves the place, following after Rei and the others. The part of her who likes to look after others also has not changed since long in the past. But that is precisely why it would be encouraging if she was together with Hana’s party…

While thinking about that, I directed my gaze towards Claire and Nanami-san, who seemed to be in the middle of a discussion.

“Nanami-san, did you come to the usual meeting?”

“No, I did not come. This time, it will be Claire and the others’ turn, right? Please do your best.”

“…. Understood.”

Meeting? What are they talking about? When I was having such a question in my mind, Nanami-san looked at me and said,

“Un, now, let’s get started. First of all, Rin-kun, take off your clothes.”

“My clothes?”

“Aa. I need to touch your skin directly to perform the treatment.”

“I see. Understood.”

When I asked further, it seemed I only needed to take off my upper clothes. So, I tried to take my upper clothes off without hesitation right away, but…

“…..”

“…..”

Suddenly, the face of Claire entered my sight. I wonder how I should describe this feeling. Even though I don’t really mind having someone see my bare upper body… I feel strangely embarrassed when the one who sees it is someone that I know. Perhaps, it is also because that person is Claire… Or rather, isn’t this girl staring too much here?

“…. Etto, Claire. Even I would be embarrassed if you stared at me that much…”

“-! I-it’s not like that! I certainly didn’t look hard at you. It’s just, unintentionally…”

“Unintentionally…”

Looking at us, who were having such an exchange, Nanami-san giggled.

“That’s not good, Rin-kun. You shouldn’t say something like that to a girl. Even if you wanted to point it out, you should do so indirectly. Look, because of you, Claire’s face became bright red.”

“… I’m not.”

“Eh? But–”

“I’m not.”

“– Un, cannot be helped. Let’s leave it at that.”

After lightly laughing, Nanami-san stopped trying to make Claire admit it. For a moment, it seemed that Claire had Cursed in her hand, but… I’m sure it was just my imagination, right? It seems like I was hallucinating because I’m still injured right now.

In the end, after that, Claire also temporarily left the room, leaving only me and Nanami-san who is going to start her treatment.

“… Looks like that girl can now have that kind of face.”

“Eh?”

After Claire left the room, Nanami-san murmured with a gentle voice. Even if I looked at her trying to ask about that, before I was able to ask, she already went back to her usual self.

“Well then, let’s start the treatment. Please lie down there.”

Having followed her instruction, Nanami-san then placed her hand on my back. Subsequently, a voice came from above my head.

“Let me explain to you first. I possess a unique skill called 【Magic Power Interference】.”

“Magic power interference? Or rather, is it fine to tell that to me?”

“As I’m not particularly hiding it, there is no problem. By using Magic Power Interference, I can interfere with magic powers other than mine. That means, I can use magic power in the air to activate my magic or even make the magic power inside a monster go crazy by touching them directly.”

“That’s…what a ridiculous skill”

Inexhaustible magic power and an original means of attack. They’re really such ridiculous effects from a skill. I guess, it was as expected by a unique skill possessed by an S-rank adventurer.

“I will be using that power to interfere with the magic power inside your body.”

“… This is.”

Immediately after that, I could feel a warm magic power enter my body. This is probably what she called interference. When I thought, ‘what a strange sensation’, Nanami-san suddenly murmured.

“I see, this is really terrible.”

Terrible.

“Although I have heard it from Claire, by forcibly taking the magic power of others, a lump of magic power was formed inside your body. Due to the sudden appearance of the foreign matter, the flow of magical power inside your body was blocked, making it unable to manifest its true power… that’s about it, I guess.”

“Can it be treated?”

“Leave it to me. Although it cannot be finished by today, it should be completely cured in a few days. Well, let’s melt the lump of magic power lightly first.”

After that, the treatment continues for about 30 minutes. And as a result, I really felt a little better.

Nanami-san, who saw my condition, also nodded.

“For the time being, this is enough for today. Now that a part of the lump has disappeared, the flow of your magic power should have been improved.”

“Can I already fight?”

“Not with all your strength. Let’s see, I think at the moment you could use level 2000 worth of power at most. If you try to use more magic power than that, severe pain will assault your body, and your condition will worsen. So, do act with that in mind.”

“… Understood.”

“Still, conversely speaking, you can already use about level 2000 worth of power. Or should I say, I think you should move a bit to gradually get used to your current magic power. And the joint practice is still being held in another room right now. You could join there too.”

As follows, I thanked Nanami-san and left the room. Then, as if replacing me, Claire appeared.

“Has the treatment finished?”

“Aa. Why is Claire here?”

“To have a mock battle with Nanami-san. That’s one of the reasons I came here.”

“… a mock battle between S-ranks, huh”

What should I do? I really want to see it. But perhaps because my intention was shown in my face, Claire shook her head.

“If you were exposed to mine and Nanami-san’s magic power, there is a high possibility that Rin-kun’s condition will worsen. So, I think you should refrain from doing so.”

“… That’s true.”

Although it is very regrettable, it was just as Claire said. Thus, I parted from Claire and went to the training ground where Hana and the others are.
