Chapter 59.2: Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter’s Hero Dream Chapter 59.2 \n“… I am… not feeling well, so I will abstain.”\n

“!? Are you really sure? It is a great opportunity though…”

A Mage with a sense of crisis raises his hand a little and leaves with his party members. Sytry smiles and look at them without complaining.

I silently wait for a while, but it looks like no others member chooses to leave. Sytry checks the face and the determination of the remaining Mages and their parties and ask again.

“Are there really no one else who don’t want to receive the training? You can’t get frightened after seeing it and give up later.”

I look at their face but there is no one who stands up. I wonder if it was a good publicity to use Lucia’s name. Behind me, Tino is also terrified but she is still listening to Sytry’s word.

But is there really such an efficient training? For Hunters, who sometimes has to shoulder each other’s lives, 『Trust』 is a very important factor. It is an indicator of your ability as a Hunter, this is why your certified Level is a proof of trust. And that is why the Level Down is regarded as the worst penalty in the Explorer Association.

Even if your opponent is a member of the same Clan, if you lie in such a place, Sytry’s reputation… And maybe even Strange Grief’s reputation… will be greatly lowered.

Sytry nodded after confirming that no one left.

“And now, let’s get started. Even if I say that, the content itself is not that difficult and it doesn’t take a lot of time… For the time being can I have the cooperation of one person?”

In respond to those word, the previous male Mage, who said with confidence that he could drink Magical Recovery Medicine, stands and approaches.

Sytry-chan pulls out a silver pocket watch from her pocket and glances at it. She raises her index finger and says with a bright voice.\n

“First of all, please charge the Relic with your magical power. Conveniently, Cry-san has a lot of empty Relics.”

… I completely forgot about it. We came here to ask them to charge my Relics…

I pass the empty 『Safe Ring (Barrier Finger)』 to Sytry.

The male Mage began charging with a suspicious expression while everyone’s eyes look at him. Time goes by silently. The man’s expression changed from a suspicious one to a rugged one.

“…… Wait a second. What is that, Relic, the charging, doesn’t want to end!?”

“It is fine, please keep charging.”

“… Kuh.”

The fiery appearance of the man visibly turns white. On his forehead, oily sweat start to appear. From his previous self-confident words, he seems to be a High-Level Mage, but even for such a Mage, the Barrier Finger seems to be a heavy burden.

It seems that magic power exhaustion is similar to the feeling when Lucia is drunk, and her wobbly legs can’t make her stand up.

“You should sit down.”

“… Ha, haa…”\nHe falls to the chair Sytry pulls out. After waiting a few minutes, the Relics is finally charged. After he finish charging the Relic, the male Mage lips are blue, and his fingers are shaking. Perhaps he has a headache, he put his hand on his forehead and frown.

Sytry picked up the Barrier Finger on the table and nodded satisfyingly and hand it to me.

“Okay, now that the first charge is over, the next thing is… To charge the next Relic again.”

“!? What, did, you, say!?”

“Wait. Fuvil is at his limit. He can’t do it anymore!”

“It is okay. I will stop when he reaches his limit. He will not die.”

No matter what the protest of the party were, Sytry gave the next Relic with a smiling face. The male Mage who is called Fuvil, received it breathlessly and resume charging with a small complaint.

His breathing was getting rough. It is an obvious sign of symptom of magic exhaustion. If he continues to charge, his magic power will be completely exhausted soon.

Sytry begins to explain with a soft voice to everyone who is watching him breathing roughly.

“Here is a brief explanation. Mages’ ability is proportional to the total amount of their magic power. Generally, it is said that women are better suited to be Mages because the total amount of magic power grow easier for women. And the upper limit of magic power usually grows from childhood to mi-teens and stop there. 『Noble (Spirits People)』are excellent as Mages because their aging speed are different from human… Their magic growth period is very long.”

Fuvil’s breath becomes rougher and rougher. His one last breathing leaks from his lips and he lose his strength and lies on the table. The hand holding the ring naturally opens and the Barrier Finger rolls on the table.\n\nWasn’t “Mana Potion (Magic Recovery Medicine)” a more beautiful color?

Sytry picks the man down and puff out her chest which was bigger than her sister.

“Because it is adjusted for Lucia-chan maybe… Fuvil-san will recover with a few drops.”

“Wait, a sec…”

Fuvil-san’s party member wanted to stop her, but they were too late. A few drops of special magic power recovery medicine are sucked in a pipette and is then inserted in the mouth of Fuvil who is having a magic exhaustion.

Then Fuvil-san’s body which wasn’t able to move, like a dead fish, suddenly jerk up greatly. With his behavior which doesn’t seems like human, his party member, which was surrounds him, screams and go behind him.

Sytry-chan approaches the pitiful Mage, who lies on the table and doesn’t move a single finger. She lifts his eyelids, checks his white eyes, gently tapped his cheeks and tilted her neck and takes out her pocket watch and confirms the time.

“In just three minutes and twenty seconds, his magic power was improved by ten percent. This is the secret magic training technique devised by Cry-san to raises Lucia-chan. By repeating it, you can expect a drastic improvement of power. If the amount of magic power increase, the ability to keep fighting improve and you can learn new magic which consume more magic power. When the Mage who is the pillar of the party, grows, it greatly increases the survival rate of the entire party. How efficient… It is awesome!”

… I don’t remember giving this idea.

“Bu… But Fuvil’s consciousness is still…”

To this outrageous training methods, the female Mage makes a quivering voice, Sytry points at the back of the eight stone Golem and says with a big smile.

“No problem, the Golem is here for that. It is fine if all you think about is charging Relics. Leave everything to the Golem. I don’t think you will but if you try to escape… It is impossible.”

Thx for reading! Here is the fearful training design by Cry without knowing about it XD. I am not sure if the Super recovery happen when magic recovers naturally or only if there is a fast recovery due to potions. It is probably like muscle but as the most I do is a few pushups every day I don’t know if we get more muscle if the recovery is faster. I can picture the mage jumping like a fish out of water when he drinks the potion and then falling flat on the table with his little soul coming out of his mouth XD Tchao à plus!
