Part 1
Sword Saint Kureha Clyret.
There’s no one in the kingdom who doesn’t know that name.
The Clyret family is the strongest swordsmen family. They are a great noble family that is feared as Jioral’s sword.
They are entirely focused on creating the strongest swordsmen. They continuously take in strong blood in order to produce more powerful children specializing in swordsmanship. That’s basically insanity. Rumor has it that, if there’s no strong blood to take from the outside, they will perform inbreeding to preserve their bloodline.
For hundreds of years, this family has focused only on the sword. As a result, an extra class emerged.
Its name is… Sword Saint.
Studies have shown that one’s class is related to their blood as well as their upbringing. The only family in the world that has ever awakened the Sword Saint extra class is the Clyret.
That’s not all. In addition to their class and status, the Clyrets’ sword is the strongest in terms of pure swordsmanship. It’s to the point it can be considered art. But it’s not just a spectacle, it’s been honed by blood and iron in countless battles.
And even in all that, Kureha Clyret is considered the greatest genius of all time.
“I want the Clyret sword no matter what.
In the previous world, I was too inexperienced with Heal to learn Kureha’s abilities. I was also scared and wasn’t used to the pain. Countless other experiences swept away the memories of the strongest sword, so I wasn’t able to learn it. I won’t make that mistake again. I will engrave the Clyret experience in me.
I can’t get the extra class of Sword Saint, but I can get the Sword Saint’s skills. With just that, I’ll probably be able to win any sword fight, so long as it’s not against Kureha herself.
Part 2
As usual, I was in my room studying when the maid came to call me.
“Healing Hero, the Sword Saint has arrived to see you. We’ll be waiting in the Lainala room. Please show her your power as the Healing Hero.”
I chuckle. The first time I did this, I was full of motivation.
I fell in love with Flare and indulged in my carnal desires with the maids. I really felt myself being a Hero. I wanted to show them my cool side.
I’m still full of motivation, but this time it’s for the Sword Saint’s skills.
I have also increased my level to the point I can just barely use Imitation Heal.

I raised my level to 5.
The secret to my getting stronger without fighting monsters lies in my fourth ability with Heal, Looting.
When I use Heal, a magical path opens between the target and me. It’s a two-way path, so I can use it to steal experience or magic power from the target. But I can’t take experience that has become part of the body and has been used to level up, I can only take what’s floating about without being used.
At night, while the maids are assaulting me, they’re defenseless. So I used that chance to use Looting Heal on them, so I was able to barely get to the point of being able to use Imitation Heal.
Because of Looting Heal, I can let myself be drugged without worry. Even while living like livestock and forced to continuously use Heal, I’ll keep stealing experience and raising my level. Once I get all the skills I want and reach a satisfactory level, I’ll escape.
At that time, I’ll fulfill the promise I made in my previous life. I’ll destroy Flare and make her my pet.
Part 3
I visited the Lainala room to meet the Sword Saint, Kureha Clyret.
Lainala is a bluish white flower that is the national symbol of this country. All the country’s citizens love this flower.
The Lainala room is an indoor garden. It’s the most beautiful place in the castle, filled with colorful flowers.
I heard that Flare made it as a hobby. She has a horrible personality, but good taste. Well, it’s also a big waste of money, so maybe it’s still bad. This chapter was taken from novelping dot com without permission.
While I was thinking about that, the visitor seemed to have noticed me.
“Hello. Are you perhaps the Healing Hero?”
A girl wearing a white knight’s uniform, which is easy to move in, calls to me.
No openings, a sword that can easily pierce anyone and elegant behavior. Anyone would know who she is after seeing her once.
“I am Keyaru, the Healing Hero. I was ordered by the king to heal you. I have heard rumors. It’s an honor to meet you, Sword Saint Kureha Clyret.”
There’s no doubt she’s the strongest Sword Saint. Long silver hair, expressionless but beautiful face. No one would believe that such a pretty girl is the Sword Saint. At least, until they saw her in person.
“It seems you know who I am, but I’ll properly introduce myself. I am Kureha Clyret, a former Sword Saint.”
She said former.
The reason is simple. Her right arm is no longer there. Her sleeve is simply hanging.
She lost her arm fighting a high level demon, an opponent even a Hero might struggle against.
“Shall we get started right away?”
“Yes, please. Even the elixir can’t heal this, so I can only depend on your power.”
Kureha bit her lower lip. The Clyret family only cares about the sword, If she can’t hold a sword then her existence has no value.
No, there is one, making a child. She would be forced to live only to birth more children. The title of the strongest Sword Saint would become a curse to haunt her to the rest of her days.
“Kureha, could you turn your back to me? Heal works better like that.”
Kureha nods and turns her back to me. It’s a complete lie, I’m only saying this so I can use my Jade Eye. If I was facing her, it would be impossible to hide the eye.
Now, let’s see the strength of the strongest Sword Saint.

Strong!
What the hell, this is totally broken.
The talent values are on the level of a Hero. And what’s with this level cap? I didn’t even think a normal human could achieve level 50. And this talent distribution is so artistic. Only what’s needed for a Sword Saint is high, and what’s unneeded is low.
Not just that, Divine Sword is the highest level of sword abilities.
She also has abilities that give her an overwhelming advantage in close combat, and that’s further improved by her skills.
A monster beyond doubt. There’s no way I can beat the Sword Saint one-on-one. Even a Hero would have to overwhelm her in levels and people in order to challenge her.
“Is this fine?”
“Yes. I’ll begin the healing.”
I can’t wait to get my hands on Divine Sword and All-Seeing. I can’t copy the skills, but just those two are already plenty.
“Please wait a minute!”
Right as the treatment was about to begin, the Magic Hero Flare walked in. An old man was coming along with her.
“Flare? What’s going on?”
“I also want to see Keyaru-san actually use Heal.”
Now I remember, yeah, it’s the same as last time. The old man with Flare is the chief of magic research.
Depending on the Hero, they can elevate their class’ skills to a level beyond the norm. That guy is here to check if I’m like that.
“Oh, please don’t mind me.”
“Me neither.”
I have no reason to refuse, and I can’t refuse first of all. So let’s just get started.
For all intents and purposes, this is my first Heal. I know a terrible pain will assault me, but I have yet to experience it in this world.
It’s a 50-50 if I’ll be able to endure it. After repeating it a few times, I’ll get used to it and get the Pain Resistance skill, making my brain produce endorphins at will. But right now I have none of that, so I’ll just have to power through it.
I’ve been prepared from the beginning, so let’s do it.
“Here I go. Heal!”
It was at that moment.
All the experiences of Sword Saint Kureha Clyret attacked me.
Training since childhood that I can only think of as abuse.
Days colored in blood, thousands of battlefields.
Her body getting worn out every day. Every day was dyed with her blood as well as the blood of her enemies.
Kureha is a teenager, and her level is over 40. That’s not normal. Every day is hell. Kill, kill, keep killing…
It hurts, it’s painful, it’s scary, help me.
“Ah, ah, ah.”
My voice leaks out, my vision is blurred.
In just an instant, I experienced the full hell that Kureha Clyret went through her whole life. Tears start spilling out and I resist the urge to cut off my own neck. I can activate Heal at will, but I can’t deactivate it once it starts.
The existence that is me is literally breaking, but I fulfilled my job. Kureha’s right arm is restored. It’s restored to its prime, I perfectly recreated every muscle, habit and reflexes of that arm.
Once I finished, I fell down with tears spilling out of my eyes and drool spilling out of my mouth. My whole body was convulsing.
“It’s healed. My arm, it’s really back! It’s amazing, a miracle. With this, I can fight again.”
Kureha Clyret’s voice rang out. I watched her with my blurry vision.
I was prepared for pain, but not this much.
Well, I fainted the first time, so this is progress. After all, I’m still conscious. Thanks to that, I was able to use Imitation Heal. The Divine Sword and All-Seeing are now mine.
“Thank you, Keyaru. … What happened?!”
Kureha finally noticed my condition, after getting out of her tunnel vision due to joy. She came up to me and held me. She has a surprisingly decent personality.
I pretend to faint in order to catch Flare. With my eyes closed, I listen carefully. Kureha was kicked out of the room, saying she would be an obstacle to the treatment. On her way out, she expressed her thanks.
“Tell Keyaru when he wakes up. Thanks for letting me hold the sword again. I will never forget this. I’ll make sure to repay him to my full abilities.”
She really is a good girl. Now, what about this time’s Flare? While I was thinking that, Flare began speaking.
“Not even able to use Heal, his only redeeming quality. He really might be useless. Even though he brought the Sword Saint back, it might be pointless.”
Unaware that I was conscious, Flare began showing her true colors. But, unlike her, the old man researcher was rather happy.
“Princess Flare, this is amazing. What this boy used wasn’t just a simple Heal.”
“It’s just Heal, isn’t it? What’s the difference?”
“The fundamentals are different, it’s on a different dimension! The original Heal spell only activates the body’s own self-healing functions. It can only heal wounds that the human body can heal on its own. A gouged eye won’t come back, and an arm that has been cut off won’t regrow. But his Heal is different! Deconstruction and reconstruction, creating something from nothing, or maybe rewinding time. In any case, it’s in the divine realm! It’s exciting. There must also be a secret in his pain. I’ve never seen a Healer react like that before! I want to research it, and if I can uncover its secrets I, I-!”
This guy is bad. I’m getting terrified.
“Is that so? Then maybe he does have some uses. Drugs, brainwashing, do whatever you need to control him. He’ll probably use pain as an excuse to not use Heal again. Make him heal at least 20 warriors, I don’t care if you end up breaking him after that. You’ll probably have found out the truth behind his magic by then.”
“As you wish. I’ll kindly break him so that I can collect lots of data. If the problem is pain and fear, it’ll be fine to use hypnosis and drug him so he feels pleasure.”
Just like that, my destiny was decided by these two. I see, so Flare had already given up on me by here huh. I understand.
“I’ll leave the rest to you. Seriously, to think this trash is a Hero like me, it makes me disgusted. He’s even giving us work by having to figure out how his powers work.”
Flare left. I was struggling to hold back my laughter. I’m really truly happy. No matter what, that woman is still trash!
Aah, thank you, thank you so much. For still being the same piece of shit you were the first time. Now I can take my revenge without any hesitation. This time, there won’t be any mercy.
When I finish copying the skills from everyone, that will be your end.
