Chapter 23: Kuro Nabi: Part 1

Kuro is running around looking for enemies until he hears an announcement from the instructor.

Instructor: 25 students are remaining, the student with the most bells right now is Kazuo Natski with 5 bells. I repeat Kazuo Natski has the most bells.

Kuro: That Kazuo, he sure is showing off. What happened to that not trying to stand out during the test?

A spell is thrown towards Kuro. He dodges it

Kuro: If I get this bell then I'll have 4 bells, one short of Kazuo but it'll do. (rushes in towards the enemy)

Kuro is walking around the arena holding 4 bells in his hand

Kuro: That's four bells already and there should be less than 20 students remaining by now. Well, I guess I don't have to worry anymore.

Another spell is thrown towards Kuro, but he dodges it effortlessly.

Kuro: That was such a sloppy spell

Kuro notices a girl hiding behind the building seemingly looking scared. He rushes in quickly behind the girl

??? : NO PLEASE DON'T! I promise I won't try to attack you!

Kuro: Huh? Why are you so scared?

???: It's it's it's just that I can't fight, I was hoping that you would have your guard down.

Kuro: I never let my guard down, you said you can't fight right? So are you a healer?

???: Yes yes! I see that you're a bit wounded, let me heal you. Healing Water Magic: Bubble healing.

She heals Kuro

Kuro: You healed me, I don't feel the pain or out of breath. Thanks

???: My pleasure

Kuro: Wait did you just heal me to get those extra points? The school mentioned something about supports who heal others gets extra points.

???: No no no, I just wanted to heal you because you didn't try to take my bell.

Kuro: Uh huh. So what's your name anyway?

Shina: Oh I'm Shina, Shina Otsuki. What's your name?

Kuro: I'm Kuro Nabi. What class are you in?

Shina: I'm in class B, and you?

Kuro: Class C, class B huh? Alright...

A spell is launched towards Shina. Kuro blocks the attack

Kuro: You okay?

Shina: Yeah thanks

Kuro: Looks like chatting time is over. There's a new enemy.
