Hero System! Transported to Another World

Chapter 101: OJ

The man watched Alex train for over an hour. "Huh… This really is a scary situation… To learn attacks and moves by just watching them being performed a few times… He's not perfect but being able to imitate them so easily is a crazy skill." He sighed, " I was surprised that Master Zhun actually requested me to do something for him but when I heard him say that I had to train someone who was a magical caster but also could use healing abilities, I had my doubts… But looking at how this kid has other amazing skills… I wouldn't doubt him having the ability to heal…" The man smiled. 

He wore a casual hoodie and jeans. He had long dreadlocks and tanned skin. The man waited for the training to be over before he could introduce himself. 'I already spoke with Imani about this and from what She says, It seems like This boy really can't heal others… Or at least hasn't tried to yet. But from Master Zhun's and Ryan's request, I guess it's worth a try… People have self regenerating abilities but when that comes to work, there wouldn't be any green hues over the healing part… That only happens when a healer uses their abilities out of their bodies… This kid, healing his own wounds really created that, he has an almost certain chance to heal others as well.' The man thought.

Midnight looked at Alex and smiled, "You look tired, want a break?" She smiled. Alex nodded, He was starting to get out of breath, "Running is one thing but just kicked non stop then doing combos without any break in between is really tiring…" Alex spoke.

Midnight laughed and looked towards where the man stood, "OJ, It seems like Ryan really did request you… But how long will you just stand there? Aren't you going to introduce yourself to Alex?" Alex looked surprised and looked towards the direction where Midnight was looking at, 'I never saw him once… Wha…' Alex was confused. 

Oj smiled and looked at Midnight, "I guess I was just curious and wanted to see what this boy had in him to be trained by you, Midnight… I also wanted to see what kind of boy would be so high in Master Zhun's list that he would request me to come and train him a few things as well." He looked interested in Alex's powers. 

Alex looked a bit confused by everything. 'I feel like I've seen him before but… I can't remember…' Alex thought back to remember where he saw Oj but he couldn't pin point when.

Midnight nodded, "I thought Ryan would do the requesting but Master Zhun spoke, He must have had a pleasant surprise… Well, I guess we can talk in the break rooms. The Arena's pretty big so Let's so somewhere smaller to talk… Plus, We both are pretty tired from the training till now so taking this break to the break room would be better." Midnight spoke as she walked to the exit of the room. Oj nodded and looked at Alex, "Well, You look better than you did in that meeting a few days ago. It seemed to me like Gold would have spooked you to the point of wanting to leave but you stayed. Good on you!" Oj put his arm around Alex's shoulder and walked to Midnight. 

Alex looked at Gold in just a loss of words. By now, Alex knew that he was taller than when he was in his own world. Alex was around 180 cm tall but Oj was still a head height taller than Alex. He also had some bulky muscles underneath that hoodie. He looked like a total brute. 

Alex scratched his head and spoke, "Well, At least It seems like I'll have another teacher for close quarters combat." He smiled. Oj and Midnight looked confused by Alex's words. Both looked at each other and laughed in unison, "Alex, You're mistaken… It seems like Ryan's illusion was on you while the meeting was happening so you must have forgotten… Oj isn't a brawler or a close combat fighter… Well, he is good at that but He isn't specialized in that, He is our top Healer." Midnight explained. 

Alex looked at Oj in surprise, 'Such a huge guy… To say that he's a healer… It's out of the things that you'd normally expect… Even the healers in the simulation looked weak physically…' Alex thought as he looked at the bulky man. 

Oj smiled and spoke, "Well, try to remember back to that guy who got yelled at by the scary queen Hana to heal the mind controlled B rank awakened… His internals were all mushed up by Hana's simple punch and that wasn't even her strongest attack… That really shows you how powerful S ranks are, doesn't it?" He laughed as he remembered the moment. 

Alex thought back and remembered that moment. He realized that there was a man who was yelled at by Hana to heal the mind controlled B rank that attacked her. He looked at Oj and smiled, "I'm sorry but It did seem like I can't remember you from that meeting. Hell, That meeting is still a blur for me until the end…" Alex scratched his head and spoke awkwardly. Oj Shook his head.

Midnight, who was leading the two into the break room spoke, "Don't worry about anything related to the meeting, You were in Ryan's Illusion like I stated before. Most of the things you probably remember are just blurs and random things… Maybe feeling sleepy but nothing else." Midnight shrugged. Oj nodded and continued to follow Midnight. The three walked into a room and took a seat beside a large table. Imani also walked into the room and sat Beside Oj. "I hope you all have introduced each other properly, especially Alex… Well, Midnight probably already knows my Brother but still, Midnight and Alex, This is my brother Oj." She smiled. 

Midnight and Alex both looked shocked by Imani's words, Midnight spoke, "But you two don't look similar at all… I don't see the resemblance… Plus, I've read up on Oj's Background, It said that he had no siblings… What… I'm so confused right now." Midnight looked more shocked than Alex did. 

Oj laughed and spoke, "The documents are correct, I have no direct sibling but Imani is my cousin… We were raised together so we just act like actual brothers and sisters…" He looked at Alex, "But we're not here for that, let's just get down to business." He smiled. 

Midnight, nodded when she heard Oj's words. She seemed to understand and spoke, "Well, It seems like we need to manage times again.. It's almost time for our lunch so I'd say we might need to take turns on who teaches when…" She then turned to Alex and said with a sly smile, "But to think that you, Alex would have three Awakeneds around you, revolving around everything thing you do to personally help you get stronger… If you fail, won't that be a lot of pressure?" She teased.

Alex laughed awkwardly when he heard Midnight, He was surprised when he realized that there were three people who were helping him get stronger. He looked at Oj, who seemed to be intrigued by teaching Alex.josei

Oj looked at Imani, "I'll just need him for an hour or so, it's just to help him understand healing better, nothing else… Later on, on the days I am more free, I'll teach him more medical things, unrelated to his powers but for now… I just wanted to see this special guy who made Master Zhun and Ryan call me for Help… Until now, Only Hana was the one who had requested me to do something but now, this one guy made those two bosses request something in their names." He laughed. 

A sudden beeping caused Oj to stop laughing. He looked alarmed and stood up, "well, it seems like today isn't the day… We have healers spread out around the country but with a small number, I need to take care of most of the jobs here in this area… So I have to run, It seems like another A ranked gate appeared and injured a few B ranked Awakeneds… You three also need to quickly finish this training camp… Having one more A ranked awakened and 2 more B rank awakeneds would be a huge help for everyone." Oj said as he ran out of the room. 

Imani nodded and looked at Alex, "He was here to observe and just get his own view of you. He must have tried to hide around when you were training so that he could see the real you while you trained. It seems like you have got a favorable place for him until now so stay there. Oj is a kind guy but he had turned his healing into a combat skill as well… And I tell you it's brutal… So I'd recommend being in his good side, he might even train you his moves of Healing Combat."
