Kyal and Kreh walked down the palace corridor, with the maid still following behind Kyal like a persistent ghost. Sigh, one could say she was a competent watcher.
Sighing slightly, even a hero of healing couldn't be free in the palace. He wondered when he would be a little freer. Being watched so closely every day, Kayal couldn't even find time to study and practice his Nen abilities. He had only just learned the basics of the four elements.
It seems I need to find a way to leave for a while. As for an excuse, I'll use the excuse of wanting to increase my magic power and level up by going out to hunt monsters.
"Kayal, thank you so much for today."
Kreeher stood beside him, her blue eyes fixed on Kyal with reverence.
"It's really nothing, it was just something I did on a whim."
Kyal chuckled and waved his hand, indicating that he really didn't care.
"For Kyal, it may have just been a routine treatment, but for me it was very meaningful."
“I am the Sword Saint of Grellette. The sword is everything to me, the only thing I can trust. But since I lost my right hand, I have been unable to wield the sword anymore. I have almost lost everything.”
"It was Kyal who made me pick up my sword again and continue fighting. It was Kyal who gave me hope and a new life. I will repay this kindness with my whole life. If there is anything you need me for in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
"In the name of the Sword Saint, Kreeher Gretel will do everything in her power."
Kreeher gave Kyal a knightly salute once more, and her resolute expression showed that she was serious.
"Well, I also happen to have something I need to ask Krech to do."
"Please feel free to ask. Whatever it is, I will do my best to help Kyal accomplish it."
Kreeher looked as if she would go through fire and water for her lord, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Kyal, who healed her right hand, was like a second parent to her.
Because this was the first thing Kyal had ordered, she would complete it perfectly, no matter the cost! And she would do the same for everything else from now on!
This young swordswoman, whose heart is devoted only to the sword, possesses such a character: wholehearted, trustworthy, and unwavering, just like the sword in her heart—upright and resilient.
"It's like this. After spending this time in the palace learning knowledge and healing other injured heroes and sages in the royal garden, I want to go out and hunt monsters to level up, but since I'm just a healing mage, I don't have much combat power."
Kyal gave a wry smile as he spoke.
"So, I would like to ask Krech to team up with me when I go hunting monsters later."
"No problem, it's an honor to team up with Kyal."
Kreeher readily agreed, saying that at worst they could just abandon the front lines! After all, there were others to take the hits!
Although the battlefield is the fastest place to level up as a human meat grinder, hunting monsters can also yield a significant amount of experience and is safer than the battlefield.
Moreover, teaming up with a hero grants double experience points, which is a huge advantage for Kree, making her feel a little embarrassed.
Kreeher secretly resolved to make up for it elsewhere.
Little did she know that Kyal's treatment of her was also for ulterior motives; he was simply after her swordsmanship, skills, and experience, and now he was even after her.
"Then I'll go back to my studies now. Goodbye, Kreeher."
Kyal returned to the room door at this moment, and the maid went up to open the door.
"Well, goodbye, Kyal."
Kleigh wasn't reluctant to part, because they would see each other again soon.
The two parted ways; Kyal continued her studies, while Kreeher headed towards somewhere within the palace...
————————
At this moment, in the King's government office.
The old king was listening to Freya's report on the results of the treatment of the Sword Saint Kreeher by the Healer, Kaiar.
"His right hand has completely regenerated and is as agile as before? That is indeed an amazing ability. Although the Healer Kaiyal cannot bring combat ability, he can prevent a decline in combat power by reducing casualties."
"That's right. Besides, after observing the Healer's recovery magic, Ganlunde gave it a rating that went beyond ordinary recovery. It touched on the divine realm of decomposition and reconstruction, creation from nothing, and even time reversal. I think the future is promising."
Freya went on to add, but made no mention of the research Ganlund had given about using the magical power of the Healer to achieve immortality.
Freya has now acknowledged that the Healer, Kayal, is a hero just like her, so naturally she wouldn't allow Kayal to be studied like a guinea pig in the research institute. Therefore, she deliberately helped Kayal keep it a secret.
As someone in power, Freya naturally understood the allure of immortality to the powerful and wealthy, and she herself was tempted by it.
However, Freya may be full of scheming, with cruel and cold-blooded values. Despite her pride as a hero, she cannot stand by and watch another hero she has recognized become a miserable lab rat.
This may be the only conscience she has left.
"In that case, the Healer is indeed very promising in healing, and is worth investing in training. He will become a major weapon for the kingdom's army on the battlefield in the future."
When the Healer Kayal reaches a high enough level and possesses enough magic power to unleash healing magic over a wide area, the kingdom's legion will transform into an undead legion unafraid of death and pain.
