Chapter 234.2
Upon receiving the former S Rank Adventurer, Darson’s, advise, he examined the shop’s lineup for one-handed swords and swords that could be used with just one hand or with both hands . He also took a look at the shop’s war hammers .
“Excuse me, Aniki, actually, I do best with weapons that can cut, and have made do with a knife so far, but can I get your opinion too?” [Delinquent Adventurer]
One of the people watching us asked a question .
I gave him some pointers of my own, but I also asked Darson for his insight .
Like that one delinquent adventurer after another came to get our advice, and before I knew it, we’d helped pick out a weapon for all of them .
“…With this, everyone has decided what weapon to buy . ” [Ryouma]
“Ussu!” [Delinquent Adventurers]
“Darson-san, the bill please . ” [Ryouma]
“Sure thing . Give me a sec . ” [Darson]
After quickly settling the bill, our trip here was finally concluded .
At the same time, though, all twelve delinquent adventurers suddenly had a glum expression on their faces .
“Hey, what are you all looking so glum for all of the sudden?” [Darson]
“It’s probably because we’re about to have ourselves a training session to try out their new weapons . ” [Ryouma]
It’s important to familiarize yourself with a new weapon after purchasing it, so we’ll be going to the Security Company to borrow a vacant training area .
There, I’ll have them practice with a metal slime that’s transformed into the exact same weapon that they bought, so they won’t have to hold back out of fear of breaking their newly purchased weapon .
As for their wounds, we have healing magic, and there’s a hospital in the Security Company, so we’ll be able to treat any wounds immediately .
Above all…
“Don’t worry, guys, this training won’t be as harsh as when we were fighting last time, so there’s no need to be so scared . ” [Ryouma]
“…” [Delinquent Adventurers]
“If anything, this is the perfect situation for you to muster that fighting spirit you showed before . There’s no death to fear, and you’re all adventurers, right? You can’t be losing your nerve after just losing a few times . ” [Ryouma]
“Yes… Aniki…” [Delinquent Adventurers]
“Umm… You know the outcome last time was sort of a given . I might look like this, but I’ve been training a lot longer than you think, and I had a master teaching me properly too… And besides, aren’t you frustrated after losing to a kid like me!?” [Ryuoma]
“!! O-Of course, we’re frustrated!” [Delinquent Adventurer]
“In that case, you better come at me with the intent to kill!” [Ryouma]
“Yes!” [Delinquent Adventurers]

“I can’t hear you!!” [Ryouma]
“Yes!!!” [Delinquent Adventurers]”
“Good!!! …And so, we’ll be off now . Thank you very much for helping us today . Come on, you guys say it too . ” [Ryouma]
“Thank you very much . ” [Delinquent Adventurers]
“Y-Yeah . Good luck . ” [Darson]
They looked half-hearted, so I tried encouraging them, but… Did I fail?
It kind of feels like they’re just being forced to be encouraged, but anyway, like that we left Darson’s store .
“…Huh, he’s surprisingly good at straightening up guys like those, isn’t he?” [Darson]
I heard him mutter from behind me .
I guess I really do look like a Yakuza . That’s kind of worrying…

When it was almost afternoon .
“…” [Delinquent Adventurers]
Heaps of corpses could be seen all over the courtyard of the Security Company .
“Hey, get a hold of yourself…” [Ryouma]
“Are you still alive?” [Ryouma]
“Hey…” [Ryouma]
The twelve delinquents were all lying on the ground, unable to stand up .
But they weren’t dead, no, their bodies and minds have merely been driven to exhaustion .
I stopped my attacks right before I was about to hit them, so no wounds have been inflicted, and it’s not as bad as last time .
Therefore, nothing I said earlier was a lie .
“You were able to move a lot more than you thought you could, right? The way your body is right now is your true limit for now . Please be sure to remember that feeling . If you end up in that state while fighting or while you’re outside of town, you can consider yourself dead . Since you can’t move at all, even a normal kid will be able to easily finish you off . You won’t be able to run either if you encounter a wild animal . As such, please be sure to finish off your opponent or flee to a safe place before you reach that state . ” [Ryouma]
“Understood…” [Delinquent Adventurers]
Good . If they can still answer, then everything should be OK .
This sure takes me back . Back in the days, my dad would kick me or hit me with a wooden sword, but I think he still held back . Well, he did push me until I lost consciousness, though . Compared to that, this kind of training can still be considered soft .
But at this rate we’ll end up interfering with the Security Company’s training in the afternoon .
Because of that I used a healing magic I learned from Mr . Mafral .
“Energy Charge!” [Ryouma]
“Hmm!?” [Delinquent Adventurer]
“How do you feel? Feeling better?” [Ryouma]
“U-Ussu!” [Delinquent Adventurer]
Good, looks like it was a success .
This spell is able to recover stamina, but in my opinion, it’s better to think of it as a spell that converts mana to stamina .
It’s a more advanced variant of the basic healing spell, Heal, that I’ve used countless time .
Just recently, Mr . Mafral told me that healing spells are often used to heal wounds, but they actually have the side-effect of also recovering stamina .
Energy Charge is a spell that specifically sacrifices the ability to seal wounds to specialize in recovering a person’s stamina .
Because of that it’s useless for treating wounds, but it’s an invaluable tool when it comes to recovering the strength of a weakened patient or to prolong a patient’s life . Normal healing spells also don’t have any effect on diseases, but recovering a person’s stamina can help in treating diseases and alleviating symptoms .
