Transmigrated to Become the Hero's Aid

Chapter-14: A stroll around the Capital (1)

The past two months were spent with usual training for body strength and the basics of swordsmanship with Brook. At first Lucas found it was too tiring to train but now he was getting a hang of it. His body strength, of course, got stronger than before although it was nothing compared to Ryosuke.

Ryosuke, on the other hand, was also becoming more and more familiar with swords and even made the stern Brook to be a little bit softer and softer. He didn't also get scolded as much as before, too. Although both of them had improved to an extent respectively, that didn't make Brook go easy on them.

Brook then decided not to teach them the same anymore as both of their affinity are different to each other. For Lucas, he was more focused on using strength and techniques which was better for self-defense and for Ryosuke, he targeted on the skills of attacking, also starting the basics of fusing mana with the swords, and learning mana swords skills which were a lot stronger than usual. As expected, Brook gave training according to what Lucas and Ryosuke needed and at the same time considered what technique would be best for them.

'If he doesn't possess his rude way of speaking, then he would be perfect!' was what Lucas thought each time he trained with Brook.

After wrapping up for today's sword lessons, Lucas and Ryosuke parted ways for their respective routines as they both had different routines, after all. The king wanted Ryosuke to be able to join the Royal academy within 3 years as a 6th year student because he wanted him to be more familiar to other ability users in order to be able to choose his future party. So Ryosuke had to be ready with everything necessary in order to be able to do so. The next is that Ryosuke had different mana types, so he was trying in order to be familiar with most of the mana types he was proficient with, accompanied by some splendid instructors allocated by the king.

For Lucas, he didn't need any instructor and such because he just had to follow the education system of this world and go to the academy when he was twelve years old. So currently, Lucas was just busy with maximizing his limit of using his magic and at the same time, trying out whether he had affinities for other mana types or not.

Unfortunately he couldn't use any other mana type except for healing magic. Lucas sighed in depression feeling useless and also at the same time, casting healing magic on a dying plant which he asked from the gardener of their mansion.

'5 seconds. Hmm, I guess my speed improved by 2 seconds compared to last week.' Lucas sat on the floor while looking at the potted greeny plant that he just healed from its dying state. But now the plant looked healthy and the leaves also seemed to be fresh and lively.

As healing magic was the one that could only be improved through practicing, he couldn't help but to look for every alive thing that needed healing. Sometimes, Lucas visited the training areas of knights of the mansion, checking out whether they got some injuries from training and such, offering his magic if there were some injuries. Of course, Ryosuke was also his practice material because of his clumsiness.

If there was no one to try his magic on, Lucas tended to look for some dying plants as he found out that the magic can also be used on plants as plants and trees were also a type of living things. Lucas also found that it was still impossible for him to revive a dead plant.

He now recalled his records of using healing magic which only took around 5 seconds to heal a plant which had no hope, 5 seconds to heal injuries such as small scratches and around 10 seconds or more to heal bigger, but still minor injuries, such as sprains. He hadn't tried to heal major injuries, though and he wished he wouldn't have a chance to try.

For now, everything was stable and there still was no attack from the demon's side. The fight between the humans and demons had been like a game of tug of war for a long time without knowing what sparked the war at the ancient time. The demons were also trying to spread their territories while the humans were also launching raids on the areas of demons. Both of the sides also had other alliances such as beast tribes. Tribes such as lion tribes and cat tribes were allied with humans while snake tribes and listarians (which were a tribe of lizardmen) were on the side of demons.
