Chapter 3: Trainee at the Royal Institute of Healing

It was said that the Kingdom of Herzeth, once but a small nation in the vast continent, only acquired the title of the Sun Kingdom due to the excellence of its healers. Their frontline soldiers, backed by these healers, took minimal damage while winning battle after battle, thereby expanding the nation’s territory.

For this reason, in this country, healers held a somewhat special position. How much importance was placed on them was clear based on the fact that an institution separate from the Ministry of Magic was established for healing magic—despite it being just one branch of magic as a whole. That was the Royal Institute of Healing, headquarters of all healers in the nation, with its pristine white walls and its privileged location in the administrative ward of the Special District, where nobles resided.

“Wow,” Zenos muttered in admiration as he first set foot within the building. “This is impressive.” The predominantly white entrance hall was so tall one had to look up to see the ceiling, from which dazzling sunlight poured down. Among the sparkling light, healers clad in white coats walked proudly.

“It’s so big, even I still get lost in here,” said Becker, who walked ahead of Zenos, scratching his head. “Well, Umin will give you a full tour later, so for now, let’s head straight to my lab.”

“All right.” Umin, walking beside the healer from the slums, pointed ahead. “Mr. Zenos, the research facilities are to the left—that way.”

The three left the entrance hall and, enjoying the view of the carefully maintained greenery in the courtyard, walked down a spacious corridor. Their destination was the research building, yet another towering structure. Within the premises of the Institute were also facilities for treatment and education, as well as an administrative building, dormitories for staff, and even a cafeteria, a general store, and a grocery store.

“This is all so luxurious, it’s making me dizzy,” Zenos pointed out. “Honestly, someone like me shouldn’t be here. Is there nowhere around here that’s darker and smaller? More damp, maybe?”

“Don’t talk as if you were some sort of shady character,” Umin said.

“I’m objectively shady,” Zenos retorted.

“It’s troubling how confident you sound when you say that...”

As Zenos continued to chat with Umin, the trio entered the research building and, using a magic elevator, made their way up to the tenth floor and into a room in the back. Books and experimental equipment cluttered the space, and a somewhat stale smell hung thick in the air.

“This room’s more my style,” Zenos mused.

“Would you mind not implying my office is a den for shady characters, Zenos?” Becker said with a wry smile as he sat on the chair behind the desk. Straightening up, he offered Zenos a seat on a couch. “Now then, let’s go over the details of my request for you one more time.”

“Right. This is about a missing person investigation.” From what he’d been told on the way here, someone in Becker’s research team had simply vanished without a trace.
