The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic - Episode 2

Episode 2 of "The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic" begins with Suzune and Kazuki visiting Ken at the Rescue Team headquarters, where they find him preparing for the grueling training session with Rose. Despite the intimidating nature of his upcoming training, Ken is determined to improve and become more useful.

Suzune and Kazuki, impressed by Ken’s dedication, feel inspired to approach their own circumstances with a more positive attitude. They find encouragement in Ken’s resolve and set aside their earlier frustrations about their situation.

Ken’s training under Rose is intense and demanding, starting with meditation to sharpen his mana awareness, followed by studying texts. After that, he undergoes physical training consisting of extensive running and hundreds of push-ups at night. This physical exertion leads Ken to instinctively develop healing magic, allowing him to quickly recover from fatigue and pain—essentially enabling constant practice.

However, Ken harbors doubts about his self-worth, especially when comparing himself to Suzune and Kazuki. He questions the effectiveness of his training, which seems limited to physical exercises. Rose, however, clarifies that the training is designed to enhance his speed and strength—critical traits for a healing mage in combat situations.

When Suzune and Kazuki visit Ken in the forest, they are astonished by the extent of his physical training, which includes push-ups with a massive boulder and Rose on his back. They learn that Ken has not only adapted to Rose’s training regimen but has also adopted aspects of her personality.

Rose, impressed by Ken’s progress, informs the Knight Commander (who trains Suzune and Kazuki) of her intention to make Ken her right-hand man. Ken’s growth becomes even more evident during a picnic with Suzune, Kazuki, and Princess Celia, where his improved physical condition is on full display.

Despite the intensity of his training, Ken finds enjoyment in the challenges and remains determined to push forward. This is showcased in a lighthearted scuffle with his roommate, demonstrating his enhanced physical and mental resilience.

At the end of the episode, Rose announces a new phase of training for Ken. She takes him beyond the city walls into the wilderness and tasks him with hunting a massive grizzly—a terrifying creature he has studied in his texts.
