"Okay guys, make sure those swords are extra sharp, or else Sei-dono can't get in that healing practice!"

What a dangreous thing to have her there too often. It would reduce the knights' physical growth, plus it would ultimately make them reckless in their training, as they would get used to getting healed if anything happens. The recklessness would then transfer to real fights as well.

The soldiers are prone to get injured while training. I'm assuming they're using actual swords and not wooden ones. Their bodies will still remember the proper way to swing, strike, and pierce when they're on the battlefield. Also, I think it's best that she trains with them so that she can heal their minor or major injuries when they are battling actual monsters. I think she needs to get used to actively healing those on the battlefield. I don't think she's inhibiting their physical growth.
In chapter 2.3, the soldiers were even wondering why the saint (the one that prince kyle is protecting) was not there to heal them. They were in need of Aira's healing abilities as many of the soldiers were badly wounded. If not for Sei's potions, some of them could've become crippled permanently or would've died from their severe injuries.
I think Sei's exposure to active combat and active healing is necessary for her to come to terms with reality that people are going to be fighting for their lives and the lives of the people that they are trying to protect. She shouldn't be sheltered from that reality like Aira has been.
But these are my assumptions based off of what I've seen from the manga. I haven't read the light novel yet.

@nan0bitz Yeah, I'm not denying the benefit from her point of view. Although personally I feel like she should broaden her spectrum of directly used magic from healing to other stuff, most importantly self-defense. Still, it's one thing to watch practice matches and then heal whatever scrapes and wounds might appear, but a totally different situation to witness a real battle.

I talked about negative effects on physical growth, but I 100% expect it to not get addressed by the series at all, so it's kind of a moot point from me. Exercise enhancing a person's fitness is linked to getting physically stressed and exhausted by training, which signals the endocrine system to secrete growth hormones and other relevant agents, enhancing muscle growth. Or in simpler terms, if the body notices more strength is needed, the body will grow more strength. However, if Sei removes the exhaustion, it will also remove the need for the body to get stronger. It would absolutely be a good thing in a real battle, but not in exercises.

What I was also referring to is developing a mindset of it being okay to get wonded because the wound will be perfectly healed rightaway. Or it being okay to take big risks because failure doesn't mean anything with the instant heal available. It's exactly the same as a character/monster learning to rely on OP regeneration ability and then getting miserably defeated when that regeneration is turned off for whatever reason.
