I Want to Be a Receptionist in the Magic World CHAPTER 7 Part 2

UNTIL I BECAME A RECEPTIONIST

CHAPTER 7 Part 2

Translator: Masakibluei

Looking at my burned injuries, Nike and Benjamin are crying. I didn’t mean to make them cry. That was not the reason why I saved both of them. In fact, I’m reluctant to make the two beautiful girls in front of me crying.

Afterward, I cast floating magic to transport Nike and Benjamin to the floating glass. The two of them are standing close with each other and facing themselves towards me. When I look at them, there are traces of burn injuries on their hands. With the floating magic, I steadily move them to the Floating Glass.

Benjamin & Nike: “Nanari!”

Nanari: “Even though I still get burned, this kind of weak fire won’t kill me. Besides, compare to Lockman’s fire, this is nothing. “

While I’m reluctant to admit this, I’m already used to heat.

That’s because of Lo………(the one that I mentioned before)

Nanari: “Karomagia Zeon (Familiar Summoning)”

I make a circle with my left index finger and left thumbs then swing my arms horizontally to the front. With a banging noise, Lala appears in front of me. She looks bigger than usual. Maybe she becomes that big because I did wish for it. The white wolf looks at my appearance and barks at me.

Lala: “This is! Master!”

Nanari: “Lala, please carry me to that place.”

Lala:” I understand!”

Lala who is not good with the heat turns her face against my cheek. Shortly, Lala crystalizes her body to let me rides on her body and prepare to go up towards the floating glass. I put my hands around her neck and lean my body on her to avoid falling down.

Crystallization is one of Lala’s abilities. This defense technique will protect her from any kind of attack and leave her uninjured. She lightly carries me who is still wrapped in burning fire without feeling disturbed. My hair which gets burned comes into my sight. It is crisply burned with prickling sound. Aa, what should I do? My hair is looking out of place. I might turn bald.

My frost armor had already been peeled off from my skin, and I also had cast the floating spell to transfer those two. Henceforth, I do not have any energy left to cast another spell.

I can’t believe this. I did not see this coming. If I get burned like this, my hair will turn to ashes. This pale blue hair color of mine, even though I just started to like it recently……To the point of eradicating my hair roots. No way! To become bald! I hate it!

Nanari: “Uuuu……”

Why does my hair is always fated to get burned?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About two minutes later, the teacher signaled the end of the task. I close my eyes as I reach the floating glass. But the heat that is enough to break someone’s nerve makes me open my eyes again.

Nanari: “Benjamin, the fire is out!”

Benjamin: “Nanari!”

In the meanwhile, the fire has gone away from me but my whole body still releases some heats after being burned. Despite the heat, the view of Benjamin and Nike coming closer and grabbing both of my hands comes into my sight. At the same time, Lala sits right beside me.

In terms of my injuries, I do not get any burn mark, instead, my skin is blistered all over from the fire. Though I did not feel any pain before, the moment I pay attention to my injuries, I feel the pain instantly.

Benjamin: “I did warn you not to drag our team, but to get into a mess like this! Idiot!”

Nike: “Sorry, Nanari. I tried to relieve the pain with my water magic, but it did not work. I’m sorry.”

Both Benjamin and Nike’s hands are also covered with blisters. When I look at their injuries, I nearly forgot about my own pain and only cry a little bit. The hands of the two beauties are swollen like the ice fish. Both of their hands are covered with red blisters. I have to apologize to their parents. I’ll take responsibility for their future. Shall I say that I will accept them as my wife? No, it’s hopeless. I’m just joking. Let’s stop this. It’s better to set Benjamin with Santanath after all.

“I will heal the injured, so, please let me pass!” said the healing teacher who comes immediately.

The healing teacher slowly releases my hands from Benjamin and Nike’s clutches. Then the teacher guides the two of them to the other teacher. Then the teacher comes back and sits on her knees to look at my face.

Healing teacher: “It will be fine. I will cure you.”

Nanari: “Te,teacher.”

Healing teacher: “Aa, such a pretty face to becomes like this…I'll start right away. This child is burned by the fire for the longest time. Healing her is the top priority. “

The healing teacher scowls as she puts her hand on top of my forehead. A wind that is different from a normal wind comes from the teacher’s hand. I feel the wind pleasantly grazing my open wounds. It does not feel painful at all. It did not take too much time to understand that this is the teacher’s healing magic. I don’t know if I feel this way because I have always been healed by the healing teacher and I know her ability, but at the moment, I feel relieved from the bottom of my heart.

As I let out a sigh of relief, the teacher begins with her sermon, ‘You are a girl after all……’ Hence, she starts her sermons like the other days.

It’s terrible. It looks like I’m the only one that she scolds. Nevertheless, to be scolded at the time like this is horrible. Scolding is a mom’s job.

Healing teacher: “But, Miss Nanari, you were praiseworthy.”

Nanari: “?”

It was unexpected to be praised like that. Behind the teacher, I can see Benjamin and Nike’s hands and arms are healed by other teachers. I feel relief to see that.

Teacher: “Now, let’s announce the groups who pass the task.”

During the time I’m receiving the treatment, I can hear the voice of the teacher who is in charge of the announcement. His voice is loud enough and can be heard in the whole arena. That’s right, although I am already being healed at the moment, the result of the task has not been announced yet. I listen and close my eyes at the same time.

Teacher: “Sally Bonne group, Marisa Carmine Group, Nanari Hell Group, Carla Yaklin group. That’s all.”

The teacher finished the announcement. After that our names are written in a big piece of paper that is floating across the arena. The names that are written are the candidates who pass the task and able to proceed to the next task. Those names are the same as the teacher’s announcement.

While laying down, I open my eyes and look for Marisa. If she passes the task, she should be here as well. My neck is hurting so bad to the point that I cannot move it. Therefore, I frantically search for her only with my eyes. Then I find her laying down just like me somewhere.

Her red dress is still intact, which is pretty strange. However, her limbs are injured pretty badly and she makes painful expressions. From what I see, Marisa saved her two team members as well.

“Wait a moment! How about us?!”

The girls who came here first after saving one of their team members are screaming out their objection over the results.

Teacher: “I did say, the group that cannot arrive at the finish place is condemned as fail. Even though you cannot rescue both of your team members without any problem, but you still can save the two of them. When did I say that you will pass by saving only one person? I only said to save your team members. “

“No way.”

Exactly. The teacher did say that we cannot save the two team members without any problem, but he did not say that we will pass by saving only one of them. Furthermore, he had said this with more tension in his voice, ‘Shall I repeat? If the group cannot pass, you cannot participate in the individual match’. After that, sensei only said that ‘If you reach that place, you will pass’.

This is a group of three people. If you abandon even one person, then it’s not the whole group anymore.

Teacher: “There are some of you who are aiming to be an exorcist. Or knights or even future successors of your house.”

Teacher once again speaks with a loud voice.

Teacher: “In the future, if your companion or people who are important to you are taken as hostage, what would you do? You should understand the intention behind your opponent. That’s the way it is, right? Don’t say that you trust your own power too much. You have to analyze the rescue potential and think within the restriction. Then, take action to proceed.”

Teacher: “Despite being lost at the beginning, Hell in the split of second finally used her own judgment, drew a conclusion and acted accordingly. Then this is the result. Although this competition is all about magical craft, the main reason for the competition is just as I said before. This competition is held to show the adults the path of your future.”

Is he talking about the Chief of the Chivalric Order and the other nobles?

For me, probably the Higher-ups from Hare.

Teacher: “There might be a time when you need to abandon your companion. But this time I want to determine your strength to rescue your companion. You need to stop a moment and think about a way to save your two companions. This kind of thinking and act of kindness are important. To summarize, the groups who are blinded to pass the task, and make a ruthless decision will be eliminated. “

At the end of the teacher explanation, I close my eyes again and lost my consciousness. Before I closed my eyes, the sight of the sky on top of the arena is a beautiful blue.

Translator note:
The teacher's explanation is so deep, but it indeed makes sense. I'm glad that I post these two parts together. This chapter is better to be read as a whole. Enjoy reading!
