Healers Shouldn't be this Powerful

Niklaus turned to look at his teacher who just recollected himself. He then saw Niklaus’s inquisitive eyes. "Um, it’s what I called you for before we got interrupted. For the first time in history, a healer will join a raider team. You will join one of this academy’s special teams and go with them for raiding

It is the first time in many centuries a healer is allowed to go raiding" He delivered the news with a calm voice, but Niklaus could hear disbelief within the tone of the teacher. As though he could believe the words his own mouth was saying,

"Now that you have been brought to speed, you should already know her" The director pointed at Matilda. "Starting today she will be the leader of your team." This came as a surprise to him.

Especially becoming a member of a raiding team. ’I.. I’ve become a raider, I really have become a raider!’ He couldn’t believe it.

"As you should know, this is a special case, your team will be a... special one. Many eyes will be focused on you. Unlike those who clear gates or fight off invading forces, raiders are the spearhead of humanity. You raid other world, gain strength and intelligence and bring back resources"

The director looked at Niklaus for a moment then asked. "Any questions?"

The room’s attention shifted to Niklaus, to which he asked. "Why do we raid? Shouldn’t all the awakened stay behind get strong and face the monsters that keep on pouring into our world, today I almost died because a bridge opened near me, and a from another world raider invaded.

It must’ve come from a weak world but still, just the fact that even suppressants can’t stop a bridge from being opened in the middle of a populated spot means the great wish is still in effect and who knows what just might happen." He didn’t know when he finished, but after posing his question he felt the question still hanging in the air.

The director looked at him for a moment, then breathed out for a moment. "Kid, I can understand your fraughtration. Before coming here I saw your report and how you lost your parents.

And I saw how the government, the one whom your parents were working for, just stood there as your relatives did as they pleased without repercussions. I know you feel like doing raids is just enriching the government, while the manpower that should have been used to protect the people gets wasted away. Now loo..."

A hand was raised, halting him from speaking. "This has nothing to do with my situation, I’d be fooling to think I’m special, I’m just a naive kid trying to understand" He spoke calmly. "Ow, haha, alright then, Raiders aren’t just like any awakeners.

Each year we choose a select few to bear the title raider, they are the reason humanity progresses as fast as we did, our technology, health and research. They aren’t what the public says they are.

Money hungry goblins only looking to fatten their pockets. They bring back intelligence from advanced worlds, artefacts that are currently used in this world to keep humanity safe. Their exploits increased our understanding of mana, lost magic, rare metals, spirit herbs and more.

Even the crystals we used to power our cities and weapons normal soldiers are able to use against beasts is thanks to them. Remember, Hospitals needs monster organs, weapons need rare alloys,potions need rare plans, mana reactors need world core,

Without raiders, the civilisation collapse"

Once The Director was done speaking, Niklaus’ jaw was dropped, he now understood how naive he was on the ways of the world. "Sir won’t this kind of thing need combat style awakeners, why did I get chosen?

This question got the room silent with anticipation, even the teacher was curious about that one. "Kid, that I can’t tell you, all you should know is that, this order comes from somewhere different." This sentence had Niklause confused, he didn’t know anyone with such high deciding power.

Even his parents’ connection became bleak the moment they passed away. "Ok, that’s all I can say for now. As a new team, there’s always a bridge reserved for new arrivals. Here’s the report." He handed his a tablet with information on the world they were going to jump into"

Raid report.

"As you can see, we chose a blue gate, they leak mana which is good for the environment, this is a fairly simple one. Here you are going to investigate the new species, their biology and mana core.

See if there aren’t any valuables you could find along the way, remember a report is always an indicator, not a 100 percent true analytics, so when you enter, let it be with caution.

There Natives might be hostile, but do see they aren’t friendly first before you decide to decapitate them. Remember, any new friend means 2 less enemies.

Now you should go get acquainted with your team. Prepare for raiding, the school will supply you with the gear you need to have a successful raid. Be sure you open your eyes and watch out for monsters.

Especially since your team will have one combatant less. This means you should be extra vigilant." Listening to the words spoken by the Director, Niklaus’s hands formed first, he firmly grasped it till his knuckles changed color.

’I understand their concern, but I got an opportunity no healer will ever dream to have in their lifetime, I don;t know who is it that helped get this chance, but I have to get strong, to show them that not all classes are bad.;

His eyes, stared far into the distance, within them was what could only be called determination
