Velzard pov:
Watching the strange man collapse unconscious after my last words, a kind of excitement came over me.
"Now that's a main character line. I'm starting to get used to this isekai. Besides…"
She turned towards the bandits who died because of me with a strange expression.
"I didn't feel anything when I killed them. I felt good, as if… No, it can't be just this body's personality."
She said, trying to justify her actions and feeling happy until she pushed these thoughts out of her head and turned to the wounded Albert.
"I don't know about these things, but he'll probably die from blood loss. I don't have a healing skill… Hey! How could I have forgotten that? I've been a real idiot all this time and haven't used my strongest skill yet."
She said, remembering that she had never used it.
"Then let's create the 'Instant Healing' skill." She felt warm at first, then drained.

«B-Class Skill Instant Healing Obtained!»
Information: Heals the user and others for mana, does not work on diseases and magical damage (such as corrosion, mind control...)
"Hey hey what's going on? Why is this skill consuming so much mana!? And it's not even an A-class, but a B? I have to find a way to increase the mana.... Let's heal you first," she said as she approached Albert.
" Too bad I won't need it because I have Infinite Regeneration "
She said with disappointment" and I was relying on this skill. Haaaa. I think nothing comes easy."
After a few seconds, the wound in his chest closed and his breathing became regular, but he didn't wake up.
"That'll do. Let's take care of the rest now," she said, running towards the fire.
a few minutes ago..
After leaving Albert, Adam and Laura went to receive medical treatment from Drake only to find him covered in blood and the rest of the merchants pinning a maid to the ground with the knife that was stuck in Drake's back next to her.
Adam, Laura: Drake!!
Adam quickly leaned Drake against a cart "What happened here?!"
Merchant 1: i..it's the maid who betrayed him when he was fighting the bandits.
It seems she's the one who helped them sneak in here. He said and this was confirmed by the rest
"That bitch!"
Laura said, gritting her teeth in pain and shooting her with a magic arrow, causing her to explode into pieces and blood covering the ground.
She then lay down with the unconscious Drake.
"What do we do now? Drake is unconscious, and I can't move in this state and Albert's status is unknown, honestly I don't think you can fight and protect us both at the same time." She said to Adam, watching another group of bandits approaching them.
"I have to try," Adam said, gritting his teeth with a serious look in his eyes. "Even if it risks my life,"
he said, raising his spear and assuming a battle stance, only for him and his companions to freeze when they saw the approaching group penetrated by four meters of Torul's ice pillars.
*bom *bom* bom*
The sound of heavy footsteps echoed in the silence. Everyone felt the temperature drop, whether from the ice or the tension.
Then a shadowy shape appeared in the distance.
It couldn't be seen in the darkness of the night. It kept getting closer until its shape was clear from the firelight with its black armor.
It sent a deep feeling of oppression through Laura and Adam, as they were both seasoned fighters who had fought in many battles, especially Adam, as he was a physical fighter.
A cold sweat formed on his back, and his instinct screamed at him with one thing: 'Run!'
He instinctively knew that he was no match for the monster in front of him. He had calculated all the possibilities of the battle, but they all ended in defeat.
Suddenly, the figure stopped five meters away from them. Even the merchants, who were not used to fighting, stiffened with fear. The weakest One of them even peed himself.
This was a feeling they had never experienced before. While everyone was thinking about their fate, one person thought of something different.
Velzard: 'Huh? Why are they looking at me like that? I saved them, didn't I? Maybe the situation was scary for them. Bandits attacking you is not an easy thing. Yes, yes, that must be it.'She thought to herself
"Don't be afraid, everything's fine. Why? Because I'm here!" Velzard said the famous All Might quote with her hands on her waist.
The silence that followed cut into the air. "Uhm, as I was saying, I'm not an enemy. I saw you attacking, so I decided to help."
Her words eased the tension a little, but no one responded, making Velzard feel a little embarrassed.
"Um, thanks for the help. I don't know how to repay you for this." Finally, Adam responded, and Velzard breathed a sigh of relief.
'For a moment, I thought they didn't understand what I was saying. It's a good thing ROP made me understand the language.'
"It's okay, I was just passing by. Actually, I'm lost. Were you heading towards a city?"
Velzard asked Adam, a little embarrassed. This interaction put everyone at ease.
"Yes, we were heading to E-Rantel. You can come with us." Adam replied.
"Ah, thank you, but first, let me heal the injured." With Velzard's words, Adam finally remembered the badly injured Laura and Drake.
'Damn, I forgot about them!' Adam's concern for his companions returned, but before he could complete his train of thought, Velzard reached Drake and Laura. The latter tensed involuntarily after seeing the force in front of her.
Velzard noticed Laura's anxiety and reassured her,
"Relax. I just want to help. I swear he has no bad intentions." Villzard said seriously.
Seeing this, Laura allowed her to advance, but she was still cautious.
As soon as Velzard's hand touched Laura's shoulder, the latter let out a painful groan that lasted for a few moments before disappearing in a golden glow emanating from Velzard's palm.
A pleasant feeling replaced it, and then the wound disappeared. "Amazing," Laura muttered as she saw the results. She moved her arm.
"It's back to normal. Even better!" Laura thought of this as a miracle. Even the best healing potions couldn't measure up to this level.
Seeing the skill successful, Villizard smiled from under the helmet and stepped forward in front of Drake, returning the same golden glow.
Unfortunately, Drake was not conscious to witness this sight.
Admiring her work, Velzard stood up and turned to face Adam and Laura.
"I healed him. He will wake up soon." Hearing this, both Adam and Laura were overjoyed at their friend's survival.
"We thank you for your help, thank you very much." They replied at the same time.
"It's okay it's not big deal, ohh I almost forgot. Just before I got here, I healed a man who was fighting a battle."
"??!"
Adam and Laura's faces changed when they remembered Albert, who they left alone in the middle of the enemy.
Adam was going to go look for him, but Albert's voice interrupted him,
"So you're the one who saved me."
Albert was approaching them until he reached in front of them.
He took a worried look at Laura and Drake, who were injured, but he was relieved because they seemed fine.
"Iam Drake,I want to thank you too for saving us. If it weren't for you, I would have most likely died,"
he said, extending his hand for a handshake.
Velzard accepted it, saying in her deep shield voice, "I was just passing by. It's no big deal."
" No it is,How could I repay the favor?"
Albert couldn't accept that excuse.
The man in front of him had saved them, so he owed him his life.
"Okay then, could you give me a ride to the city? I'm from far away and don't know the area."
Velzard quickly created a background to avoid suspicion.
"Of course it would be my pleasure, but..." He turned his gaze to the surrounding chaos.
"...We need to clean this up."
"Yes, it's a mess. I'll help you clean up so we can finish quickly." Velzard said, but Albert denied it.
"No, you've done too much. We'll take care of it." Velzard couldn't find anything to say, so she finally agreed.
After two hours
We see a group of people around a fire discussing and eating food. Of course, Velzard wouldn't do that.
First, she needs to eat.
Second, she can't strip off her clothes in front of this number of people she met a short time ago.
Until Adam started talking to her, his party members were next to him, along with Drake, who had recently woken up.
He didn't know who Villzard was and was about to attack her, but his comrades stopped him and explained the situation to him.
"By the way, we didn't introduce ourselves. I'm Adam, and I use the spear, as you can see."
He said with a smile, showing his spear. After that, Laura introduced herself with a smile,
"And I'm Laura, the mage on the team."
"I'm Drake, the healer. Thank you for saving me back then."
" I'm Albert, the leader." Everyone introduced themselves to Villzard.
"It's a pleasure to meet you."
She wanted to introduce herself but didn't want to tell them her real name. It's true that she's a girl now but she has the mentality of a man so she wanted to continue being that way whenever she wore the armor.
"You can call me...."
