chapter 4
4 – Reviving
It was a rather violent act of healing, but thanks to it, Sleipnir was able to regain a healthy body.
Sleipnir is the name I gave to my horse.
I got the horses I needed to move, and now all I had to do was head to the center of the continent.
I couldn’t go to the center of the continent without any preparation, so I stopped by the market and purchased the necessary items.
I hung the things I bought on Sleipnir’s saddle.
Hiiing
Sleipnir, who had regained his health, howled vigorously.
Sleipnir was completely healthy, but he had some problems.
Every time I clenched my fist, it went crazy.
Is it an aftereffect of treatment? He felt fear in my fist.
I spoke to calm Sleipnir.
“I won’t hit you anymore, so you don’t have to be too scared.”
Of course I will hit you if you get hurt.
“It was all done to save you. I’m sorry if it hurt.”
I know that my treatment is abnormal.
So, with a sorry heart, I apologized to Sleipnir, who will be with me from now on.
I don’t know if the apology worked, but Sleipnir didn’t refuse to let me ride.
“Then let’s go now.”
Holding the reins of Sleipnir, I left the empire after getting my citizenship confirmed, just like when I left Kalpas territory and headed for the Central Continent.
Even on horseback, the distance from the Empire to Arsene Academy was considerable.
It was clear that it would be a long move.
If I speed up, I’ll get there faster than I thought, but if I do, my ass won’t be safe.
My students didn’t seem to be chasing me, and the academy was always accepting instructors, so there was no rush.
So I slowly drove Sleipney while admiring the fallen leaves in the autumn wind.
I ran like that for several days.
“The water has run out.”
I filled the water bag with water whenever I saw the river, but recently I couldn’t see the river.
I said I was drinking sparingly, but in the end I couldn’t avoid running out of water.
“We must find the river quickly.”
I didn’t have any problems right away, but if I couldn’t keep looking for the river, I could collapse from dehydration.
“Let’s go, Sleipnir.”
I urged Sleipnir in a hurry and moved faster than usual.
Fortunately, after running for about an hour, I found a river.
“What a wonderful view.”
The riverside where we stopped just to draw water was more beautiful than we thought.
It was so clear that you could see the fish swimming in the water at a glance.
I wonder if that’s all, the waterfall flowing from the precipitous cliffs was truly magnificent.
If you haven’t seen a person falling in that waterfall.
“… ….”
No, why are people falling over there?
If I’m not mistaken, I clearly saw a person in the falling waterfall.
There is no guarantee that that person will be alive, but even though I had the power to save it, I wasn’t a great person enough to not save it, so I threw the water bag and jumped into the river.
“Water Breeding.”
I cast a spell that allowed me to breathe underwater, and I swam as fast as I could near the waterfall.
It wasn’t difficult to get close to the waterfall.
However, it was difficult to see the surroundings because of the spray of water from the waterfall that hit the river violently.
“Water Shield.”
I summoned a shield made of water to block the sight-obstructing waterfall.
The shield of the summoned water spread like an umbrella and let all the waterfall water flow.
Thanks to my sight, I was able to find the person who fell down the waterfall without difficulty.
The woman who appeared to be a woman was unconscious and did not move at all.
“Water Chain.”
Although he was unconscious, it was dangerous if he suddenly came to his senses and started a riot.
It was right to rescue them with magic instead of approaching them directly.
The chain of water I summoned flew away and wrapped itself around her waist.
I grabbed the chain and pulled myself out of the water.
After getting out of the water, I couldn’t help but be surprised to see her face.
Because her face was so beautiful that it was not a waste to call her a beauty.
With her red hair down to her waist tied in a ponytail, she was fair-skinned.
Thanks to her hair that did not lose its luster even when wet, it was like seeing the mermaid princess in the cartoon I saw as a child in real life.
But it was only a brief impression.
She got out of the water, but she couldn’t come to her senses.
It was an urgent situation.
After checking her body condition, I confirmed that her breathing was unstable and hurriedly performed CPR.
However, despite repeated CPR, she showed no sign of coming to her senses.
“Is that all?”
I finally decided to use the last resort.
Clenching her fists tightly, I struck her in the stomach with one blow to the side.
Seeing that her body flinched with each attack, it seemed that her breath hadn’t stopped yet.
I hit her with even more force.
How long has it been since my sincere treatment? Water spewed out of her mouth.
“Koo, cool.”
“Are you awake?”
I spoke to her who seemed to have come to her senses, but she was confused and couldn’t give me a proper answer.
“This is… ….”
“I saved him from falling down the waterfall.”
As if she understood the situation roughly from my answer, she expressed her thanks.
“Thank you. But didn’t other people see it…….”
She tried to ask how she and her companions were doing, but she was speechless and looked at me with her bluish face.
“Why is that?”
“Oh, the clothes.”
‘Ah, I took off my clothes.’
I had to remove all of her upper clothes to perform CPR.
Perhaps that’s why her face turned blue.
I tried to explain to her like her gentleman, but she was quicker.
“Bye, what are you going to do to me, perverted son of a b*tch?”
I, the lifesaver, didn’t want to hear it.
It was unfair, but what should I do? I should blame the fact that the common sense of CPR does not exist in this world.
Still, I was embarrassed.
“I think you are mistaken about something, but I was trying to save you.”
“Lies, I don’t know your intentions… ….”
She was speechless again.
But this time it wasn’t out of shame or embarrassment.
She fainted as she collapsed in front of her, and there was a long wound on her back as if it had been cut by a sword.
She had lost a lot of blood through that wound and collapsed from anemia.
It seems that she was attacked by someone and threw herself into a waterfall while running away.
“Heo-eok, heo-eok.”
She fell on her face, her blood gone, and she was dying as her breathing became more and more rapid.
Anyway, from now on, it looked like he needed real treatment.
I put her magic on her fist and said to her who couldn’t hear her.
“If you feel sick to death, you can pass out.”
Oh, it doesn’t matter since I’m already passed out?
It was a scandalous woman, but I couldn’t let her die, even though she could be saved.
I started beating her with her enchanted fist.
The fist, loaded with a bit of emotion, hit her face, chest, and stomach without paying attention to any part.
“Quaaa!”
As expected, the healing effect was amazing, befitting her magically enchanted fist, she immediately came to her senses.
When she came to her senses, she was avoiding my treatment for some reason.
“You can’t avoid it. It’s not all good yet. If you avoid it, it will be hard for you and it will be hard for me too.”
“Sa, save me!”
“We are saving.”
I worked really hard to save her, sweating and treating her, but all she got back was her swear words.
“Kinky baby, crazy baby.”
“You talk too much.”
I hated her for ignoring my efforts, but I did my best to treat her.
“Kill me!”
I couldn’t do that to a patient who asked for death, probably because he was crazy about the pain.
“How do I kill people? I’ll be sure to save you, so don’t worry.”
My sincere treatment, which did not stop even for a moment, eventually caused her to pass out after biting into her crab foam.
Seeing that, I felt relieved.
“As expected, there is nothing more rewarding than saving people.”
●●●
When she woke up again, it was already late at night and it was difficult to move any further.
If I had been alone, she would have used her night vision to move around, but I couldn’t leave her as she had just been healed, so I decided to camp with her.
After she came to her senses, she and I talked and cleared up her misunderstanding.
“So you are saying that she was assaulted on the way to the academy?”
“Yes… ….”
She introduced herself as Elysia and said she was on a journey to enter her academy.
While moving along with a group of merchants, she encountered a group of bandits and suffered a blow.
“If you think about entering the academy, your skills are not mediocre. Did those bandits have something?”
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t believe that a student aiming to enter the academy would lose to a band of bandits who couldn’t use swords or magic properly.
“There was a wizard. He’s a wizard with pretty high skills.”
“A wizard?”
Thieves are those who have been expelled from their territory because they do not have money to pay taxes and extort others in order to somehow survive.
But the wizard is stealing?
It didn’t make sense.
Even I, who was staying at the level of a magic user right now, was earning enough money to live comfortably.
There was no reason for a wizard with no shortage of money to be among the thieves.
Wonderful.
But the idea didn’t last long.
Heeheeeing
Sleipnir howled.
It was an uninvited guest.
