Premonition 4

There are three heroines in total that appear in [The Falling Star Swordsman of the Academy].

Three heroines who, befitting a depressing story, make you want to kill them.

One was Baek Da-eun.

A girl with pink roll-shaped hair and emerald eyes who, due to a twisted form of noblesse oblige, looks down on the protagonist as weak.

The first heroine to appear.

Also the first heroine to be conquered.

Another one was Lee Ha-ryul.

A blue ponytail girl who is talented enough to be the student council president of the academy, but due to childhood trauma, she develops a philosophy of discriminating against the weak and despises the powerless protagonist.

The second heroine to appear.

Yet the last to be conquered, not until the first semester of the second year.

“Um, well, that.”

And the last one.

With dull and dry purple hair and eyes, a player herself but far from considering herself the protagonist, a girl who has half given up on life.

“Have a beautiful love. I’ll just leave here…”

“Where do you think you’re going?”

Yu Sua.

She was the last and third heroine of [The Falling Star Swordsman of the Academy], evaluated as having a much better personality compared to the other two.

She was fucked.

After a not particularly solemn deliberation, Yu Sua was realizing in real-time that she was fucked.

Level 100.

An ability grade of some unheard-of Ex.

If she fought head-on, she could guarantee being cut down in 3 seconds.

How can the other one’s level be ■■?

Meanwhile, her mana is displayed as 0, but Yu Sua wasn’t letting her guard down at all.

Rather, this unknown type is usually the most difficult to deal with.

The opponents are one thing, but the problem is the surrounding terrain.

Yu Sua’s ability and fighting style couldn’t demonstrate their true value in such a cramped place.

Powerful enemies.

In contrast, an unfavorable environment.

Then what is the right thing to do?

“Goodbye everyone!”

It’s not shameful to run away from the strong.

So, Yu Sua wisely chose to flee.

Yu Sua’s body is gradually enveloped in darkness.

Eventually, she melts into the space, completely hiding her figure.

Her ability, Copy, can partially reproduce various abilities.

Of course, it’s not omnipotent, so there are limitations such as only being able to exert output matching her own grade for copied abilities.

“…I can’t sense her presence at all.”

The ability she’s using now is ‘Melting into Darkness’.

It’s an ability to hide one’s body in darkness where light is scarce, like inside a dungeon.

“Did she run away?”

A significant advantage of this ability was that it could deceive even the senses of the strongest ability users.

Of course, being a copied ability, complete concealment of presence is impossible.

The moment she takes even one step, she’d be detected due to the presence.

‘…Please just leave, please!’

Holding her breath quietly.

Yu Sua prayed desperately.

“No. She didn’t run away.”

Unfortunately, the universe didn’t help.

“To begin with, abilities related to space-time haven’t been discovered so far.”

Han Seoyeon declared.

While abilities exist in countless varieties, it can be said with certainty that types that directly affect time and space have not been revealed so far.

“This, as far as I know, should be content that comes out around the second semester of the second year…”

Such types of abilities didn’t appear in the original work either.

It was questionable whether they appeared after that, as she dropped out just before the conclusion.

That was the realm of gods, not humans.

“…I’ll study it.”

What the constellations want is just thrilling entertainment.

They have no intention of giving, nor can they give, power that threatens them or surpasses them.

“Then, where did that woman…”

“She just erased. Only her appearance.”

‘…!’

Han Seoyeon calmly looked straight ahead.

For a munchkin armed with knowledge of the original work, this level of conquest was as easy as eating cake.

“She’s still there, right? Not moving a single step.”

“Indeed.”

Completely caught.

Even though she was caught, Yu Sua couldn’t do anything.

“─Freeze.”

She couldn’t do anything.

Her body froze in place without time to act.

“Now I can see her clearly.”

“…This isn’t death, right?”

“She’s alive. She’d freeze to death if left like this though.”

“Can you thaw her out while keeping just her hands frozen?”

“Of course.”

She’s still a main heroine after all.

There was a need to talk at least once.

Yu Sua is a heroine with a quite unique position.

First of all, unlike other heroines, she doesn’t have a past rescue narrative.

She’s not even a student of the academy.

Her identity is that of a player.

Moreover, she’s a named player and, at least in terms of combat ability, one of the top three among all players.

That doesn’t mean she’s a villain though.

Rather, she’s far from evil deeds.

For the constellations, this world is a trash can cum toy.

Toys are consumables and not too regrettable if broken.

Hence, the quest list given by constellations often includes things that contradict human morality.

For example, attacking academy students.

Ordinary players carry this out nonchalantly.

Because they consider themselves the protagonists of the world.

Min-hyuk Choi, Yong-hyun Lee, etc. fall into this category.

Some players act despite knowing it’s a sin.

Under the name of a greater cause.

Il-su Kim falls into this category.

Yu Sua didn’t fall into either of these categories.

She never laid hands on quests that hurt people.

Yu Sua is a high school girl infinitely close to ordinary.

For her, the world is just a shitty game, not worth getting too immersed in.

Even her backdoor is bored with her, which says it all.

Just hearing this far, one might not consider her a heroine that makes you want to kill her, but.

That doesn’t mean she’s a perfect good character either.

Yu Sua is a player, and at one point clearly appears as an enemy obstructing the protagonist.

As mentioned earlier, Yu Sua is an extremely ordinary high school girl.

Originally.

She doesn’t have the vanity of considering herself the center of everything in the world, nor a grand cause she wants to achieve even if it means betraying human ethics.

However, she was chosen by a constellation.

And yet, she had outstanding talent as a hunter and player.

It was a curse.

The absolute beings trampled on Yu Sua’s wish for an ordinary life with their whims.

She can see the status window with her eyes.

Now she views the world according to value standards set by someone else.

This is why Yu Sua is a depressing heroine.

She inflicts psychological shock on the protagonist who already failed to protect his younger siblings.

Self-deprecation that she won’t be able to do anything in the end.

Despair that no effort will have any meaning.

Directionless mockery towards foolishness.

The protagonist wanders for a while because of this, but soon pulls himself together.

To save even her who laughed at him, like a sucker.

Not forcibly, mindlessly putting down the protagonist.

A heroine who has her own anguish due to her own circumstances and poses questions to the protagonist.

Because of this, Yu Sua was the main heroine who received the best evaluation among the three.

Beyond being better, she was the most supported heroine by many readers.

A character that seems defeatist and cynical at first glance.

While self-deprecating about the reality where constellations reside, beyond that lies a hymn to humanity secretly cherished.

Even Han Seoyeon in her past life didn’t dislike this character.

She was even her second favorite character.

“Aaaaah!”

Well, even so.

Now that the original work has been twisted.

“You crazy bitches! You’re thinking of doing lewd things to me! Like in an erotic doujinshi!”

Even though she was just a pathetic villain captured with one swing of a sword.

Michaela reached for her waist.

“Shall I kill her?”

“Eek…!”

“No.”

If she felt like it, it would happen in an instant.

But Han Seoyeon stopped Michaela.

“She’s not a bad kid.”

It was a statement that could be made because she was a munchkin protagonist.

Confident that she could subdue Yu Sua at any time.

Suddenly, Han Seoyeon looked over Yu Sua’s body.

Purple bob hair that exudes a somewhat mysterious feeling.

Her purple eyes swirl like they contain the Milky Way, so beautiful that there are no words to describe them other than pretty.

Above all.

Big.

As big as her head.

No, even bigger than that.

Surpassing even Michaela and Baek Da-eun.

There are two main official settings in [The Falling Star Swordsman of the Academy].

One is that Han Su-ho is the world’s most beautiful girl.

The other is that Yu Sua is the most open-hearted beautiful girl.

“…Yes. She’s not a bad kid.”

“…”

Han Seoyeon was certain.

How could someone with such a beautiful heart be evil?

This isn’t just a joke.

In the original work, the place where the protagonist first meets Yu Sua is today, in this dungeon.

The world changes with even a small butterfly effect.

If the original work had been twisted even a little, they wouldn’t have met here as if it were planned.

Hasn’t Han Seoyeon experienced this several times already?

“…”

Shing.

Michaela drew her sword.

“…Should I kill her after all?”

“No. Why!”

“You were looking, weren’t you?”

“…At what?”

“…”

“I’m sorry.”

Even reflecting on herself, Han Seoyeon was in the wrong this time.

Han Seoyeon apologized quickly.

“…Promise me you’ll do an ‘apology reconciliation play’ later.”

“…”

Unfortunately.

It seemed she wouldn’t be able to avoid the role of a carpet in the next bedtime either.
