Slight Change From Object X

Chapter Ten : Slight changes from Object X

Adventurer's Guild | Healer

Lucien

Task: Casts healing magic on adventurers for free

Hobbies: Training and mock battles.

Personality: Mild-mannered, hard worker, masochist, taste disorder, hikikomori.

This was the impression of me from the adventurers after I have stayed in the Adventurer's Guild for three months.

A healer staff whose job is to apply 「Heal」 and 「Cure」 (which I had just memorized).

I thought of this as an trade-off for the training request I made so I had no problem with it.

Conversely, it had become a favourable workplace with three meals and a place to sleep provided, with even clothes received in the form of presents.

Furthermore, it can't be helped that my hobbies were misunderstood to be training and mock battles.

Not only had the physical strength building and mock battles become a daily routine, the training menu was also constructed by Instructor Broad so there's no helping it.

As for being described as mild-mannered, I would like to see it if you can be overbearing towards somebody who has a better physique and is clearly stronger than you.

However, even when it became a quibble when I refused to do something I didn't want to do, there were no adventurers who would attack me within the guild premises because I had been misunderstood as a guild staff.

Well because I have healed many adventurers, people will stand up for me if others tried to pick a fight with me.

As for being called a hard worker, it was apparently because I trained every day. However it seemed that walking outside would be dangerous because all the adventurers I saw strode about in full equipment (delusion) so I only stayed within the guild. TL: The author literally wrote (delusion/paranoia) behind that sentence which meant that Luciel was just paranoid and the streets are not as dangerous as he makes it out to be.

"Though 'masochist' and 'taste disorder' is due to the object X that Grulga-san gives to me after each meal."

"I bet. But don't you properly drink that every time? To continue drinking that every time, you do know the characteristics of that object X right?"

"Ugh, that's right. What is that really?"

"I have no idea. But it has always been available in the Adventurer's Guild since a long time ago."

"I have been forced to drink such a thing?"

"Yup. Well a person who couldn't drink that would have been kicked out on the spot. But normally wouldn't you not drink it if you didn't know the effects of it."

"By the way, how much of that is being stored in the guild?

"Its limitless. I heard that a sage made a magic tool long ago. That object X comes out when magical power is inserted into the magic tool."

"Does it benefit the guild or Grulga-san in any way if I continue drinking that?"

"Yes it does. But how it benefits us is a secret."

Grulga-san grinned as he disappeared into the kitchen.

"That makes me super curious, Grulga-san."

Official name Object X.

This seriously disgusting drink's effect was really abnormal.

If you could stomach it, it was a quite a cheat item if you continued drinking it.

But one wouldn't know it if you didn't possess the 「Appraisal」 skill, nobody drank this Object X apart from me for this past three months.

In truth at the end of the first day of training, with the exception of 「Charm」, every abnormal resistance proficiencies, status parameters and skill proficiencies were rising.

The next morning, I suspected that it had something to do with Object X. Upon drinking Object X again, my proficiencies slightly increased across the board just like the previous day.

I felt that this was something that should be drunk, so I made sure to continue drinking it properly after every meal from then on.

"Even so isn't it terrible to call me a masochist and say that I have taste disorder just because of that?"

I bring up the topic again to Grulga-san.

"Nope. You are a masochist because you can stomach it. Moreover, I have seen plenty of people. Only people who have that kind of masochistic attribute could continue the kind of 「Taijutsu」 training you do."

"No no no, I'm telling you I am a normal person."

"You are still young so it can't be helped that you are embarrassed."

For some reason he pats my shoulder gently.

"Haa~. I'll go train today as well."

"Okay. Work hard. Before that, drink this."

I did my best to finish the mug of object X and went towards the training field.

After three months, my 「Taijutsu」 skill level had finally reached 「Taijutsu II」 and my 「Holy」 magic level had reached 「Holy III」 and would become 「Holy IV」 soon.

I did not even think that there were skill levels for magic but this increase seemed to be the effect of casting 「Heal」 on others day and night.

It seemed like proficiency increases faster by actually casting the spell instead of relying on image training.

As for 「Taijutsu」, even after going through three months of training it's level stopped at 「Taijutsu II」. Maybe it was due to the nature of the training.

However, I did not give up because I found that the proficiency was steadily rising little by little.

While borrowing the guild's sleeping chambers, I continued polis.h.i.+ng my 「Taijutsu」 and 「Holy」 magic. For some reason my bed was swapped with a better one from the second month onwards. I ignored the pitying eyes pointed towards me when I went to thank them for the bed.

For the past three months, there wasn't any major changes except for my adventurer's rank which rose to F.

On the day I became a F rank, I received a proposal from Instructor Broad.

"On my off days, as long as you fulfil the training quota you are free to do whatever you want. Well if you are free, you can help to dismantle the monsters in the Adventurer's Guild."

Eh? Monster corpses are carried into the guild? They are even dismantled?"

"Yes. Haven't you always been eating large amounts of monster meat? That was all dismantled within the guild."

"Oh? That was from monsters?"

I was really surprised that such delicious meat came from monsters.

"You only found out now?"

"But I've never seen a monster corpse since coming to the Adventurer's Guild? I didn't see any adventurer's carrying them as well?".
