Chereads / The Ancient Shield Warrior / Chapter 17 - Friendly Fire

Chapter 17 - Friendly Fire

We were approaching Myra. And I've witnessed desynch training tactics. Myra is still collapsed with her head on the ground. Both of her swords, which are likewise on the ground, stay unyielding. The wolf is also approaching the center.

Aria: "Myra! Are you okay? I'm sorry! I did not mean to do that!"

She cried as she spoke the word in an attempt to wake her up.

Myra: "Ee.ee.egh."

Her voice is hardly audible as she remains collapsed.

Goka: "Interesting... I will call this Friendly Fire team."

As the wolf attempts to make light of the situation.

Yugo: "You okay Myra?"

I attempted to talk to her, but she remained silent.

Hmmm... She just gets one hit from Aria and she just collapsed.

As I pondered the dubious injury Myra had recently sustained. Then, while looking at Myra, I quickly blink my left eye. The system arose out of nowhere.

Eh? She is dead?

System: "Question confirmed. In theory, sure, but she is still alive."

Alive? What do you mean?

System: "Question confirmed. By checking the HP status. Even if the Hp displaying their life drops to zero after taking damage, she does not die."

System: "After decreasing their HP to 0, the victim will simply fall or lose consciousness."

Then when she will wake up?

System: "Question confirmed. It takes 30 minutes for the person's consciousness to revive and their HP to be replenished from 0 to 1."

System: "After that, the user must wait around 5 minutes before recovering another 1 point of HP."

System: "It is possible to circumvent the time waiting by using Healer classes."

Healer...

Then I notice Ayla. She was standing behind Aria.

Yugo: "Ayla... Could you heal her right now?"

Ayla: "That's-That's not going to work, ma-master."

Yugo: "Hm? What do you mean?"

Ayla: "That's... That's because she just collapsed. I can only heal someone if they still had HP at least just 1."

I swiftly check her status by blinking my left eye while looking at her while she tries to explain. The system arose out of nowhere.

Hm? Her status seems normal though... Then why?

System: "Question confirmed. As Ayla stated, healing a person requires at least one point on HP."

Oh... Did she just say it? I did not hear it...

I return my gaze to Myra. She is still motionless on the ground.

Then we really should wait for 30 minutes I guess...

System: "Well... There's another way to bypass it."

Hm? Is that you?

System: "Yes. You can ask the Healer to use revive magic and use it on her."

System: "Revive magic can recover a person's HP by 1 from 0 and bypass the waiting time."

Hooo... I see...

Yugo: "Ayla... Can you use revive magic on her?"

As I look at Ayla. Aria is still in tears.

Ayla: "So-Sorry master, I haven't learned the skill yet. Since I'm still level 2."

Ah... I see...

Goka: "Then let me help you with it."

Yugo: "Eh? You can do it?"

Goka: "Yes. I'm just waiting for what action you will take from this. Seems like non of you had any other decision."

Goka: "I can revive her with full HP again. But it's not my recommendation to do it, since you will not gain any experience points from it."

Yugo: "Ah... I see..."

I look at the girl for a moment.

Hmmm... Yea maybe we did not have a choice either, Ayla also cannot do anything for now.

Yugo: "Yea I think it's a better idea."

Goka: "Okay. Reset."

The wolf spoke the word. Suddenly, all of us were whisked back to the same location where Urame sensei had previously teleported us on this small island. The same and identical location. We were all standing there, including Myra. The wolf was also transported back to the center of the small island. But nevertheless, our weapon is still with us. This includes Myra's weapon.

Ayla: "Eeek..."

She collapses, as she has done previously.

Yugo: "Eh? What just happened?"

Myra: "Ugh... I feel dizzy."

Aria: "Why did we get there suddenly?"

Then Ayla slowly stands up as she tries to wipe her garment.

Ayla: "That hurt..."

Goka: "It's called reset. I was used for training. The amount of status will be gone back from the first time you touched this island."

Goka: "It's one of the powers of my master that has been shared with me as the purpose for training."

Yugo: "Hooo... I see..."

This training seems really on point. Then maybe we should try it again.

Myra: "What has happened to me? I thought I was getting hit before."

Yugo: "You did not hear us before?"

Myra: "Hear what?"

Ah... She can't hear it.

Yugo: "You just collapsed before."

Myra: "Hmmm... I see..."

Goka: "Just do it whenever you ready."

Hmmm... I think I'm ready.

Myra: "Yosh! Let's try it again."

She tries to make her initial move again as she lifts her weapon. She raises her hand with both weapons facing forward.

Yugo: "Hold on."

I halt her by raising my right hand to the right side, palm facing her. She came to a halt and looked at me.

Myra: "*Sigh."

She simply took a deep breath and lowered her hand.

Myra: "Then what do you want?"

Hmmm...

As I consider what I should do.

How do I level up without any magic in me?

System: "You can use your shield to protect someone from attack. I can trigger the experience as well."

Ahh... I see...

Then I turn to face the wolf. He is still sitting and waiting. Then I remembered how the wolf had previously attacked Aria with his tail.

Yugo: "Ummm... Goka, can you try to attack us as well when we training?"

Goka: "Hm? That's fine, I can do that as you wanted."

As the wolf said it, he stands up with four feet.

Goka: "Do you want me to really take damage?"

Yugo: "Hmmm... Maybe yes, it would be helpful for Ayla too please."

Goka: "Alright."

Hmmm...

Yugo: "Okay... Maybe we should do the same combo as you did before, but wait after me command."

Aria: "Okay..."

Ayla: "Ye-Yes..."

While hiding behind Aria, Ayla stated it.

Then I blinked my left eye in the direction of the wolf. The system arose out of nowhere.

Hmmm... Even though the appearance is small, the HP is so big like Urame sensei said.

Yugo: "Let's try to attack first, Myra."

Myra: "Alright."

As she raises up her weapon again.

Myra: "Falling Paralysis Crush."

There's a quick blue aura vaporizing around her body.

She then suddenly moved and was already above the wolf. She swings both of her weapons from the top of her head and is about to hit the wolf. The weapon has small lighting appeared.

The wolf notices it. But he did not move for some reason.

Then the sword hit the wolf and the ground.

The wolf remains in the same spot, although it was not injured by the hit.

Goku: "That's not a try to hit me."

The wolf suddenly raises his right claw and swings toward Myra.

Yugo: "Aria! Now!"

Myra is taken aback as she is knocked back. Aria understands my assignment while simultaneously raising her floating book with her left hand.

Aria: "Blast of Fire!"

Myra manages to keep her body stable, but before she lands, a magical circle appears beneath her.

Myra: "Eh?"

The circle is the same color as previously, with one red firing rune in the center. It quickly turns redder and redder, signaling that it is about to explode while Myra is still in mid-air.

Wait... That's bad!

Yugo: "Ayla... Quickly heal Myra!"

Ayla: "Ye-Yes..."

She quickly raises her staff.

Ayla: "Heal!"

Then, for some reason, a green aura dissolved on my body.

*BLAR!

At the same instant, the magic circle exploded, causing the dust to impair the view. Then we witness Myra get dirty again, the same as before. She flies and lands with her head toward the sky.

I gaze at Myra and blink swiftly with my left eye. The system arose out of nowhere.

She is dead again...

Ayla: "I'm- I'm sorry!"

Aria: "Myra!"

Are they serious? *While I'm having a flat expression.

Goka: "Hooo! Another Friendly Fire!"

Yugo: "Can you reset it again?"

As I said it with a flat expression.

Goka: "Sure... Reset."

Ayla: "Eek."

Yugo: "Oi Stop!"

Myra: "Falling Paralysis Crush."

Aria: "Blast of Fire!"

*BLAR!

Ayla: "Heal!"

Goka: "Reset."

Ayla: "Eek!"

Yugo: "I said Stop!"

Myra: "Falling Paralysis Crush."

Aria: "Blast of Fire!"

*BLAR!

Ayla: "Heal!"

Goka: "Reset."

Ayla: "Eek!!"

Yugo: "..."

Myra: "Falling Paralysis Crush."

Aria: "Blast of Fire!"

*BLAR!

Ayla: "Heal!"

Goka: "Reset."

...

How many times again did we do this? *I remarked while lying on the ground with a flat expression and looking up at the sky.

System: "Question confirmed. Probably about 9 tries this time."
