In the third episode of "The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic," Ken Usato's journey begins with a series of difficult encounters in a dense forest. At first, Ken is fleeing from a dangerous white grizzly bear, a chase that escalates when two blue grizzly bears join the pursuit. In his desperation, Ken jumps into a waterfall to escape.
Over the next ten days, Ken observes the grizzly family from a distance. He develops a sense of familiarity and even finds the bears somewhat endearing. During this time, Ken struggles with various hardships, including an illness he contracts from drinking contaminated river water. However, a chance encounter with a clever black rabbit leads him to a safe water source. This period of relative calm is disrupted by the appearance of a threatening white snake, far larger and deadlier than the bears.
Determined to confront the bears, Ken's plan takes a tragic turn when he discovers that the adult bears have been killed by the giant snake, leaving only their cub alive. Driven by a sense of justice, Ken decides to avenge the bear family. In a fierce battle with the snake, Ken uses his healing powers to resist the snake's venom. Despite his injuries, he manages to blind the snake and relentlessly attacks it with his dagger.
As the battle reaches its climax, Ken is exhausted, nearly out of mana, and fighting for survival. Miraculously, Rose, his mentor, intervenes and kills the snake. Ken learns that the black rabbit is Rose's pet and that she has been observing his ordeal. Although Rose acknowledges Ken's courage and skill, she also reveals that she is aware of his disparaging remarks about her, which earns him a sleepless night as punishment.
Rose explains that the snake was a remnant from the last war against the Demon King, an enemy that could not be defeated alone. This encounter was meant to teach Ken what it feels like to face a superior opponent. Due to his impressive performance in this battle, Ken is granted the honor of fighting by Rose's side—a privilege denied to his predecessors. The fact that Rose recognizes Ken's resilience is of great significance, especially in light of the looming threat posed by the Demon King's army. Ken's success in this trial offers hope for the challenges to come.
