The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent (WN) Chapter 23

It was disappointing to not be able to do things that people say I could.

What am I talking about?

Magic manipulation, of course.

I continued training my magic manipulation in practical cla.s.s.

I felt like I was gradually getting better but I couldn't live up to the Head Magician's expectations.

It was so vexing.

I thought that the Head Magician was very strict but I learnt from the other mages that it wasn't like that at all.

Even though he was like that, the Head Magician was going easy on me.

According to the other mages, he was stricter when he was instructing them.

"I don't want to do that ever again," that Mage had told me with distant eyes.

About this time, the whole division finished a large amount of paperwork.

"I need to guide my juniors once in a while,"

At those words of the top person at the Court Mage Division, a large number of mages gathered at the exercise grounds, overflowing with eagerness.

And as a result, a ma.s.s grave of zombies was produced at the exercise grounds.

The practice at the exercise ground was a little lighter than what the Head Magician usually did.

Yes, compared to the practice the talented him did to improve his abilities further.

The people in the Court Mage Division were experts even amongst people who could cast magic.

They also had high pride.

The practice was so intense that even they gave up within a day.

It was too intense.

Make it easier.

Voices stating that were rising up from here and there, but the Head Magician ignored them.

The Head Magician nonchalantly performed the same practice as them beside their wounded bodies. In addition, he gave guidance to the mages in between his practices.

This continued for a week.

Apparently, he had pent-up anger because he couldn't do his research due to paperwork.

I had thought that it was just a burst of anger, but his guidance was precise so no one complained because they could raise their magic power through intense training.

However, after this incident, less paperwork was sent to the Head Magician.

I thought that they must really have it tough when I saw the lifeless looks on the mages' faces.

The Mages who were receiving h.e.l.lish training from the Head Magician said, even so the Head Magician is matching your abilities.

That meant that he expected me to be able to do this too.

If it's like this, then I'm sure I can do it. And for a week, I practiced earnestly.

However, I still hadn't reached my goal.

How vexing.

I wondered if I should practice outside of lectures as well.

I thought for a while.

I decided to ask the 3rd Knight Order for their help.

It was fine to remain in the exercise grounds after practice and train by myself, but I felt like it was a waste to cast 『Heal』on myself.

I went to the hospital recently and decided to practice on the patients, now that I think about it, didn't I heal nearly all the patients?

I thought a little more and it came to me.

How about the 3rd Knight Order?

The Knight Order trained even when they didn't go on subjugations.

I saw them practicing when I went to deliver potions to the 3rd Knight Order. They sparred a lot, and their bodies were covered with injuries.

I wondered if I could practice on such people.

There was no time like the present, so I went to consult with the Director straight away and he gave me his approval.

The day after I received his approval.

I headed to the 3rd Knight Order after my lecture.

I went to greet the Captain in his room and he decided to come with me to the training grounds.

I talked about practicing my recovery magic while walking.

We exchanged views, and I decided to go with the Head Magician's plan and practice magic on the 3rd Knight Order while they were fighting.

There were many knights practicing when we arrived on the practice grounds. Many of them were imitating actual battles.

I saw this scene from afar whenever I came to the barracks, but seeing it up close was so intense.

How amazing, I thought as I watched the scene, and they must have noticed that the Captain and I were here, because they stopped what they were doing and focused on us.

I was acquainted with some of the knights, but I was still nervous when they all looked this way.

The Captain explained in a loud voice that I would be casting recovery magic on them while they practiced.

It was simple.

The knights would practice as they usually did.

The only thing that was different was that recovery magic would come flying at them while they practiced.

I thought about getting the injured people to come to me so I could cast recovery magic on them, but that would take effect, and the Captain told me that it wouldn't be effective for my training.

Since the knights let bruises heal naturally, they wouldn't ask me to heal those for them.

Which meant that I would be healing less often, so I had to use a different method if I wanted to heal more.

So the Captain and I both agreed that this was the best way to do it. It was the same thing people did in actual battle: I would cast recovery magic when it looked like I need to.

The knights returned to their practice after the Captain finished his explanation.

I began my practice as I watched their mock matches.

It would be easier if this was like a game and their HP and MP were displayed on top of their heads, then I'd know who to cast 『Heal』on, but unfortunately the bars weren't visible there.

It was no use. I cast 『Heal』on those who were injured and looked like they had low HP.

That way, I wouldn't forget to pay attention to magic manipulation.

I recalled my lectures and cast one magic after another at the same speed.

The time it took me to acc.u.mulate magic felt shorter than it did at the hospital. Perhaps, only a small quant.i.ty of HP was healed too.

If my magic manipulation improved, then I could acc.u.mulate magic power more quickly, and the effects would be the same as the time at the hospital, even if I took a little time to cast it.

Time pa.s.sed in a blink of an eye while I was concentrating, and the knights finished their training.
