Episode 3

Will turned out to be a gifted swordsman, but he was also a gifted healer.

In the spring of my fifth year, I ran around the mountains.

Together with his wolf and bear friends, he fights against the monsters.

Take the lead and fight to protect your friends.

The Green Ogre was a green monster that invaded the mountains and devoured the animals in the forest.

The Green Ogre is a monster that invades the mountains and devours the animals in the forest. No, it doesn't just eat them, it slaughters the weak animals. It kills more animals than it needs to, to satisfy its taste for cruelty.

We can't allow such a monster to exist.

I readied the mithril dagger Ronin had given me and set about destroying the green ogre.

At first, Schultz, a quick wolf, restrained the ogre, and when there was an opening, I jumped into its pocket and struck it with a deadly blow.

With a single blow, I blew away his opponent's rusty sword, but it doesn't end there. The ogre has monstrous physical strength.

It swings its arm like a log, but it is caught by a bear bee.

The bear bee is the most powerful weapon in the mountains.

I walk around to the back while the bear bees hold my opponent in place.

I then ****** the silver dagger into the neck of my opponent.

There's no hesitation. I could smell the blood on this ogre. It was evidence of the many creatures it had killed.

The ogre collapsed, groaning.

Thus I won the battle, but when I saw it, there was blood flowing from Schultz's back, who was the first to restrain and nail the Oger's gaze onto himself. He seems to have received a blow from the ogre.

I put my hand on the wounded wolf's back and cast a healing spell.

Schultz the wolf's body glowed green and his wounds healed.

"Wow!"

The animals praised.

"I learned this from my mother, Miria. She wants me to be a healer."

The animals said that it was a good idea, they wanted me to be a healer and protect them.

"Yeah, that sounds great. But Ronin wants me to be a swordsman."

"Why don't you be a healer and a swordsman?"

"Yes. That's what they call a Paladin(Holy Knight)."

"Then I guess you'll be a Paladin in the future.

Schultz the wolf smiles, but I chuckle.

"Vandal wants to make me a sorcerer, though. He makes me read thick textbooks and history books every day."

"You don't like to study?"

"No way. I love it almost as much as I love swinging a sword."

"Then I'm torn. I'll have to master the sword, magic, and healing."

"Yes."

"By the way, what do you call a person who has mastered all three?"

I made a puzzled face and posed as if I did not know.

"If it's only swords and magic, there's the name of a Magic Swordsman, but there's no name for someone who has mastered the sword, magic, and healing."

"Hmm, then you've no choice but to make it yourself or you didn't have that idea."

"Yes, how about the name 'Hero'? It's cool, isn't it?"

"A hero. ...... yeah, that's cool. But my dad, Vandal, told me that heroes are born with bruises. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not."

I look around my own body, but there are no bruises anywhere.

However, Schultz said without concern.

"Brave(hero) is not a profession, it's a title. My father used to say that a Brave man is one who stands in front of something weaker than himself and defends the weak with all his might. In other words, Will, you are a Brave man now. You are the Hero of Table Mountain."

"I see, ......, you're right. Yeah, well, I'm the hero of Table Mountain."

I chewed on the word "Brave" again.

And as I sank my teeth into my lungs.

"I am the Hero of Table Mountain!"

I shouted.

The words echoed throughout the mountain.

Miria, the Goddess of Healing, shed a tear when she heard him.

She was deeply moved by the splendid growth of Will.

Will, who had been a baby until the other day, had grown up so well.

Moreover, he had become an excellent user of healing magic.

Will had even mastered the Advanced Magic "Instant Recovery".

Of course, it was Miria who had taught him, but she had not expected him to be able to use it at his age.
