147 CHAPTER XII EXPLOSION... (1/2)

SIDE: Lina.

Oh, my ears are killing me. I can't tell what's going on around me from the smoke.

We're trapped in the debris.

Is everyone okay?　How do I go about doing this: ......?

Wait. I need to calm down first.

First, let's get things straight.

As I recall, Leo and his friends and I were talking about dungeons and skills, and then Hermann and Frank tried the magic eye, and then both of them went crazy.

Then Leo pretended to see something, and then Sherry and I were pushed down and surrounded by ...... something, and before I knew what it was, there was an explosion.

So does that mean that Leo-kun has been fragmented by the explosion?

Well, I don't think it's going to be Leo-kun who gets hit: .......

Anyway, I need to do something about this blank ear to communicate with the people around me.

Thinking of this, I put my hands on my ears and used holy magic ...... and gradually the keening sound stopped .

''Oh, yeah . Yeah, I'm fine . Somebody!　If you can hear me, please answer me!

Make sure you can hear my voice, and then I'll answer whoever it is!　I screamed, hoping that I would.

And then I heard a girl's voice.

”Yes, sir!　I'm alive!

Is that your voice, José?

Mr. Josettia of the Four Great Dukes . I'm pretty sure that she was good at ...... wind magic and holy magic .

I've become good friends with Josette since we started talking about holy magic in our new class.

She's kind and fun to talk to.

''That's right.

'Jose, you can do wind magic, right?　Can you do something about this smoke, please?

In the meantime, I'm trying to figure out what's going on in this low-visibility environment, and I want to do something fast.

Okay. I'll try.

There was a slight pause after I heard the voice, and then a stronger wind blew through the rubble into the street, and I could see Shelly right next to her.

Then I saw Shelly right next to her across the debris.

”Leena!

Shelly!　Are you okay?

I'm sorry. I can't hear anything.

Okay. I'll fix your ear now.

That's right. If I couldn't hear, then Shelly can't hear either.

I reached out and cast holy magic on Shelly's ears .

After a while, I nodded to check my ears and said, ”Oh, oh,” and then Shelly began to speak.

”I can finally hear. Leena, what's this about?

I don't know. I don't know, but I do know that the explosion happened and Leo was there to protect us.

As he said this, he turned his attention to the wall where he heard Josetteer's voice.

It's probably the wall Leo-kun built for me.

However, there is something unnatural about this wall: ......

Looks like it. There are holes in it, but that's the wall Leo built. Huh?　But the explosion was on our side of the street: ......

Yes, the wall was built in the opposite direction of the explosion.

But there is no doubt in my mind that a wall was created to enclose us.

I'm sure that the memory of the wall between us and Leo that I saw before the explosion happened is not wrong.

I know. ...... I wonder what happened to that wall. ....... More importantly, where's Leo?

I don't know. But I do know that he's been a great help to us.

I mean, he jumped in front of us.

Maybe he didn't have any protection.

Did Leo get caught in the explosion?　Maybe Leo is ......

'Why don't you stop thinking about it?　There's no point in getting anxious here . Anyway, let's just think about getting out of here.

Sherry started to say some unpleasant things, and I quickly interrupted her.

Now, there's no point in saying something negative.

You're right: ....... We can't force this debris to move, can we?

I know. Maybe the school will collapse.

We don't know how much the school is collapsing in this debris-enclosed situation. .......

Maybe we can easily break this rubble and escape if we use non-attribute magic .

But if you do that, you might end up crippling the school: .......

What should I do?” ......

Boom!

What?

I thought I heard Shelly's lost voice, and then the debris in front of me was cleared away and a strong light came in.

As my eyes adjusted, I saw Mr. Frank standing there.

Also, the explosion had apparently blown off the entire ceiling, and I looked up and saw the blue sky.

It looked like Leo had built the wall above us.

Hermann?

I looked next to her and saw that it was Mr. Hermann who had saved Shelly's life.

Thank you both for your help. Do you see what happened to Leo?

Before I got up, I asked Frank what I wanted to know right now.

I'm sure Leo would have helped me before Frank and the others did.

But for some reason he never came: ....... Could this be .......

Anxiety was building up inside me and Shelly.

'I'm sorry . My ears are broken and I can't hear anything.

Oh, I see.

I immediately got up to fix their ears, but Mr. Hermann stopped me.

But as soon as I did, Hermann stopped me.

Wait. Please wait. We're fine, just go to the master!

'What?　What's wrong with Leo-kun?

I suppressed the anxiety that was swelling inside my body like it was about to burst and hurried to fix my ears to hear what had happened to the two of them .

'Thank you for ...... . Please hurry!　My master was seriously injured in the explosion. Quickly, hurry up and use holy magic to heal him!

As he said this, Herrmann pointed to the wall.

Wow, okay. ......

I turned my eyes in the direction I was pointed in while replying.

Then my legs relaxed at the sight I saw and I fell flat on my ass on the ground.

''Oh, no. ......''

No way, Leo, you can go to ......

'Le, Leo ......?　No!　Don't die!

Leaning against the wall, he was covered in bloody burns all over and had no arms ...... Seeing Leo, Shelly panicked and tried to hold on to him.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on.

I'm not going to be the only one who's been in the same situation.　Leo isn't dead yet.

'What?　So you're still alive then!　Leena!　Leena, hurry up and heal Leo's wounds!

I was so shocked that I couldn't move my hands or feet, and I couldn't speak, as Shelly screamed: .......

No way, Leo is in this situation: .......

Leena!

'I can't go to ......!　This kind of serious injury, I'm not ready for it now!

I felt sorry for myself, but that's all I could say when I finally got out.

I can't heal Leo-kun's injuries by myself....... Oh, Leo-kun can't be saved anymore........

When I saw the condition of Leo's injuries, my mind immediately processed that he was dead and I was so shocked that I couldn't hear the voices around me.

Then Shelly grabbed me by my collar and lifted me up with all her might.

Snap!

I was slapped as hard as I could, and I didn't even restrain my slapped cheeks as I looked at Shelly with no effort.

'What are you talking about!　You can't do what you want!　Who can help Leo if you don't help him. Come on, come on, help Leo. Please, you're the only one who can help me. ......

Shelly began to get angry at me, and little by little her voice grew weaker and weaker, and finally it was in the form of a request .

'Wow, okay ...... please God, give me strength ......'

Sherry's words woke me up and I fell to my knees beside Leo and poured holy magic over his body as if I were praying.

I prayed and prayed.

Wow, the wound is starting to heal. That's what I'm talking about.

What?

At Frank's words, I looked up and saw ...... an impossible phenomenon.

'Look, Leo's wound is closing up and his arm is growing back.

It was supposed to be ...... no more, no matter how hard I tried to do it with that many scars, I would not be able to do it .......

So I stopped the treatment.

Then ...... and even then, Leo's arm started to regenerate.

This is different!

'No, sir!　It's not my power. It's healing itself ...... on its own.

What do you mean?　Are you telling me you're healing naturally at this speed?

I don't know . But I think that maybe there's some magic item or skill involved, Leo-kun: ......

I'm sure that's true.

I'm sure Leo would have anticipated this and done something about it.

So that would help him?

'I'd like to say ...... for help, but I don't know yet . I don't know what Leo-kun is recovering from, so ......

If it's consuming your strength and magic, I don't think this wound will last until it's repaired .
