Constel had now transformed into a massive incident scene.

Several minutes had passed since the hidden devils clashed to hinder the targeted humans, and students and teachers began to notice the abnormality and evacuate.

The teachers, in particular, moved swiftly to protect the students.

While the skills of Frondier and his associates were exceptional, most ordinary students, whether warriors or mages, had yet to master aura or lacked close combat capabilities.

Fortunately, the devils seemed to have little interest in the other students.

Of course, they might harm students who got in their way, but their initial objective lay elsewhere.

Taking hostages was also an option, but capturing a student would immediately attract the attention of other students and teachers.

They would end up hindering themselves while trying to impede their targets.

The devils here were personally selected by Satan from among his subordinates. Therefore, most of them were exceptionally strong.

Of course, there were also some mediocre ones who didn't even rank in the hierarchy, but even considering that, they were not to be underestimated.

The problem was that their numbers weren't that large. Originally, even Mizonas, the first in Satan's hierarchy, fell behind Azier.

Those below him were, at best, on par with Mizonas, and most were weaker. Being comparable to Azier was a testament to their skills, but it didn't mean they could handle the numerous teachers and students of Constel.

Therefore, while powerful strength was crucial for them, it was even more important not to waste too much time.

As Constel became chaotic and the students began to evacuate,

"...I see."

Aten also started to grasp the enemies' intentions.

Initially, Aten's situation was similar to others. Considerably powerful devils appeared one by one, giving her a hard time.

If Aster was the fastest at eliminating devils, Aten was the slowest. Until then, the devils believed their plan was working well.

"Ugh...!"

The first devil who confronted Aten. He slowly approached her, his entire body covered in frost.

It wasn't to instill fear; he simply couldn't move any faster.

"Aaaaagh!!"

The devil roared, infusing his body with aura. Only then did his frozen body begin to move somewhat.

However, aura didn't have healing properties or generate heat.

He was just forcing his body to move. The damage remained, and the strain only deepened his wounds.

"Damn you, I'll kill you!"

The devil lunged at Aten, and she retreated a good distance. As a mage, Aten's evasive abilities weren't exceptional, so she kept her distance and moved back. freēwēbnovel.com

Under normal circumstances, the devil would have easily caught up to her at that speed, but...

Crackle, crack.

This hallway was already filled with a white mist.

Aten's domain.

"Ugh...!"

Soon, the devil stopped, groaning in pain. This time, the cold had entered his lungs. It was more serious than his feet freezing.

"You, you bitch... This level of coldness would be fatal to humans. Do you want to kill the students?"

The devil made a clumsy threat. It was questionable how she could create such a chilling temperature, but it was strange that Aten seemed unconcerned about harming other students.

The devils who invaded Constel appeared as ordinary humans until the battle began.

Therefore, it was only after the fight started that the students recognized them, and except for those engaged in combat, most Constel students were diligently evacuating. There was no guarantee they wouldn't be exposed to the cold generated by Aten.

To this, Aten replied,

"It's alright. I'm a healer."

"...What does that..."

Just then, a student who hadn't managed to join the other students came into view.

It would be ideal to take them hostage, but unfortunately, the devil couldn't reach them in his current state.

However, the student also entered the domain of coldness. Their body would freeze just like his. He was a devil, so he could endure it, but an ordinary human would immediately...

"Aten! Are you okay?"

The student, spotting Aten from afar, shouted while taking a deep breath within the domain of coldness.

"I'm fine. You should escape quickly."

"Come here, Aten! Let's escape together!"

"I can't. If I go with you, you'll get caught up in this."

The two conversed with the devil right in front of them. The devil was enraged by this fact itself, but he couldn't believe what he was witnessing.

"...Why is that guy alright? He inhaled your cold air, didn't he?"

"I told you, I'm a healer. It wouldn't make sense for a healer to hurt people."

Aten wasn't originally a healer.

She was a mage specializing in ice magic. She had never considered becoming a healer.

Only one person knew she would become a healer: Frondier, through his knowledge of the game.

When Frondier first met and fought Renzo, overexerting himself, Aten barely managed to save his life. Even then, she didn't know basic healing magic.

However, after saving Frondier, Aten started learning recovery magic, which was actually a very early start based on the game's timeline.

This was because, in the game, the reason Aten eventually became a healer was due to Aster.

After the curse Philly placed on Aten, causing her to feel disgust towards Aster, was lifted, she started learning recovery magic to be of help to him.

In other words, from the player's perspective, for Aten to be able to use recovery magic, Aster had to first meet her, accumulate enough goodwill to dispel her disgust, and Aten had to discover her talent for recovery magic.

However, the current Aten had skipped all these steps and delved into recovery magic much earlier.

As a result,

"I've become able to perform 'Mana Care' even from a distance."

"...What?"

"So, I can differentiate. Between those I should attack and those I shouldn't."
