Sparring with Rose
The sparring session is limited to close-quarters combat—a straightforward battle using only our fists.
The reason I, with my overwhelming lack of combat experience, can even spar with Rose is that she’s actively trying to train me.
"Ha!!"
I swing my fist, infused with Healing Magic, towards her.
Rather than a wide, heavy blow, I focus on speed, delivering a jab-like punch. Rose avoids it with her eyes, and in response, she also strikes with a punch empowered by Healing Magic.
———A punch imbued with Healing Magic!!
As soon as my brain recognizes this, I decide it’s a feint, and as I focus on Rose’s left fist, which she’s drawn back to strike—her right fist, still glowing with Healing Magic, crashes into my forehead.
"Ugh!?"
"Don’t make hasty judgments!!"
"...Right, sorry!!"
