## Synopsis

Ken Usato is a normal high-schooler in every sense of the word—average grades, dreams, and a tendency to dislike extraordinary people. However, when he encounters the president and the vice president of the student council, both popular and extraordinary, he immediately befriends them. All of this is interrupted when Ken's new friends are summoned into another world—and he accidentally gets summoned as well!

Dejected and with no way to return, he resigns himself to staying quietly in the new world—until he finds out he has an affinity for healing magic, a very rare form of magic that gives him both self-confidence and the attention of all mages. However, not all attention is good, which is something Ken realizes when he is noticed by a crazy fellow healing magic user…

The folks surrounding a high school student, age 17, refer to him as "Usato." When I was in the original world, I usually had friends. At the point where I was living without any complaints, I was summoned to another world with Kazuki and Inugami, a boy who is unhappy in a sense. Belonging to the lifesaving team, the magic system is healed. His teacher, Rose (Master), hits him in the face for the intense physical training. Learn healing magic in an eccentric way. However, a life-saving group trains its body while healing its own wounds with healing magic, runs around the battlefield faster than anyone else to accommodate and treat injured people, and sometimes eliminates the cause of injuries on its own. It was a brain-muscle group.

* He is good at imitating Rose's face and fighting with healing magic. Usato has more awareness than the average isekai protagonist but he tends to write off any explanation that involves a girl liking him.

A powerful monster called the Blue Grizzly. His parents are killed by the demon monster Barjinak (Great Snake) left by the Demon King's army, and he is about to be killed for revenge but is rescued by Usato. While he has a stubborn side that is indebted to Usato, he shows a stubborn side that is never stubborn to those who instinctively embrace evil feelings.

A life-saving group trained Ken Usato to train his body and mind while healing his injuries with healing magic giving him a strong mentality, he runs around the battlefield faster than anyone else to accommodate and treat injured people, and sometimes eliminates the cause of injuries on its own.

* *Magic turning is a* technique that is the basis of magic and that pursues the movement of magical power. By moving the magical power at high speed, the elasticity that can only be made with the gauntlet of the right arm has been raised to a practical level.
	+ Fixation Magic [Reinforcement]
	+ Systematic Strengthening: A technique or skill that strengthens the density of magic; the density is usually decided at birth, but systematic strengthening means being able to overcome anything.
	+ System deterioration: A technique devised to increase magic efficiency In the case of healing magic, the healing power decreases and the consumption magic power decreases.
* *Must-have mystery: healing system Bombing fist*: A technique devised by applying the phenomenon that system deterioration that touches system strengthening causes a strong explosion. It has system strengthening and system deterioration in both hands and can give a strong attack by applying two stages of hitting and shock waves. Since the magical power itself is system-strengthening, the healing power is higher than that of a normal explosive bomb.

Usato is well trained by Rosa, he can resist and endure all types of physical training (Being the ideal body of a Lifesaving team or rescue squad [***Healer***]). After a year of training, Usato can sustain himself; as a result of his training approach, his decent Super-Strength, monstrous Healing Factor, He can run as fast as a normal human can run—not even a beast folk nor a demon race, and Endurance parameters exceeded extraordinarily; as a result of the daily training Rosa taught him, Usato was able to continue fighting even after receiving fatal wounds; his will to live, or the mentality of his who doesn't know when to give up, is what allows him to do this. whereas everyone else is a walking artillery battery that can obliterate entire platoons of infantry at once.

Rose seems to have trained him to fill this role. In a world focused on what magic an individual has, someone being outright superhuman through training their body is relatively unheard of and no one has any idea on how to prepare for him. Part of this gradually becomes a subversion as news of his feats becomes spread out across the kingdoms, but then there's the fact that he's from another world. Which means he also applies foreign logic to his abilities that are against all the rules and logic of this one, such as *baseball pitching* his magic as actual physical projectiles despite them having no mass or weight.

* 【*Healing Technique; Healing Punch*】: It's a normal technique for Usato, and it's just a fist with healing magic. A technique that Usato uses most and is the only technique taught by his master, Rose. Usato says, "If the other party isn't hurt in the end, that's fine!"

	+ *Healing Continuous Attack Leg*: A healing barrage fist on the leg that can be used by assimilating Ferme. Since it has a strong power to blow away the opponent, it can only hit one shot, but the power of the technique is stronger here
	+ *Healing Kick*: Strictly speaking, a kick with both feet that just gained momentum with a healing acceleration fist and other things. A technique that shouted with momentum on the spot.
	+ Our Friendship power: The method used by Usato, who thought that he would use the dark wizard Koga as a weapon and defeat all the evil dragons. Sometimes I betray, but the two are Nakayoshi. It may be the most compatible with Usato in terms of battle style.
	+ *Healing Afterimage Fist*: Avoidance technique realized by applying elasticity. A technique in which the stretched magical power is thinly wrapped around itself and released during movement to make the opponent appear as if an afterimage was left on the spot. If it is activated normally, the difference between the afterimage and the main body is obvious, but if it is used during high-speed movement with slow and fast movements, it will appear to the other party that Usato's body is an alter ego.
	+ *Healing Guard*: An extraordinary technique to grab nearby enemies and use them as your own shield. Although it is a technique that is mainly used only for opponents who do not hurt their hearts, it is not damaged as a result because it also applies healing magic exactly (it can be said that it can be used as a shield many times).
	+ *Healing detection*: is A technique for detecting the reaction of living things and the movement of objects with senses other than the five senses by spraying magic particles around them. Originally, it iwa also a technique called magical power sensing, but Usato calls it healing sensing because it has the characteristics of healing magic.
	+ *Healing collapse*: A technique that can be used when the magical power is constantly radiated due to system deterioration and the movement of the opponent is grasped by detecting the magical power. At the moment of the opponent's attack, the magical power weakened by the system deterioration is restored and radiated again to pierce the opponent's emptiness and stop its movement.
	+ *Healing sink*: The technique that I learned from Owl as a Usato, bBy manipulating the magical power inside the body, he succeeded in parrying his own magical power in combination with the enemy's attack and magical power. However, since it is necessary to identify the opponent's attack itself, it is almost impossible for anyone other than those with excellent reflexes, such as Usato, to learn it. This technique can even pass on the light magic that extinguishes what you touch.
	+ *Healing Coating*: A technique that Usato devised in a hurry instead of the lost gauntlet, although it is a technique that enhances the defense power by covering the arm with magical power that gives it more elasticity, it has the disadvantage that it is not as strong as a gauntlet and it is not possible to create magical bullets. However, this technique can be used in combination with magic turning to move to the limbs and activate at the same time. In addition to that, it hinders the movement of sticking to the opponent and makes it possible to move by sticking to the wall, so in the reality it has become a technique that is good at movements that are completely different from gauntlets.

Usato trained himself to increase his magic output with the advice and help of Olga. By training all the time Usato achieved his main goal to increase his magic. Usato's biggest weakness in a fight is that he didn't receive any training in combat techniques during his time under Rose (who focused on developing his Healing Magic and using that to improve his pure physical capabilites to absurd degrees). While his brute strength and sheer determination have gotten him through many battles, he realizes that won't be enough against opponents who have both power and significant skill, and starts training in actual unarmed combat techniques during his time in Miarac in preparation for the battle against Karon.

His entire fighting style is that of a brute who only uses his physical body to battle. Naturally, this means that he is ill-equipped to deal with enemies that can prevent him from hitting them via Intangibility as shown in volume 4.
