“If you do not back down now, I will use self-defense according to the Academy’s rules.”
The academy has some rules. This was to protect merchants, who were mostly commoners.
In fact, not much is observed. Who would dare to impose rules on nobles?
Perhaps this guy recognized my face and decided to just scare me. Erin is really famous in a different way.
‘Because it would be difficult to kill him first… . Let’s try to make them laugh.’
I feel like I would kill myself to tell you about my topic. Murder is strictly prohibited within the Academy.
but! As for those who pose such a risk, it is okay to break their limbs.
Of course, I have no intention of letting that guy live. So, the plan is to deliberately provoke them and make them pick up a weapon first. Then you can kill me.
‘Iron Maiden.’
I put mana into the iron ball I bought a while ago. The name is ‘Iron Maiden.’ It is a name given in the past as a way to kill time.
Mana permeates through complex circuits engraved within the bead. For this thing to work properly, I have to follow a pattern that only I know.
“I don’t know what kind of swindlers they have that make them laugh like this.”
“You’re a fraudster. What can I say to a person who is doing business in an honest way?”
“If you break at least one rib, you’ll come to your senses.”
– Oooooh!
The bead placed on the palm rises into the air according to the flow of mana.
Iron Maiden’s functions are simple. It becomes harder and faster depending on how much mana is infused into it.
I only used this to suppress opponents. Because if I use magic, I’ll at least become an asshole or collapse. Even if you’re too good, it’s a problem.
“I feel like I can’t understand the situation… .”
The Iron Maiden placed on the palm continued to vibrate and then jumped forward. A metal ball moving at high speed is so fast that a criminal cannot detect it with his or her eyes.
No matter how low its mass, if its speed is high, it can act as a murderous weapon. Iron Maiden is an object that is faithful to that. So it got stuck in the guy’s leg.
“Aaaah!”
“What, what! What happened!”
Wow! The guy who was suddenly hit by an iron ball on his leg fell forward. I don’t think it was broken with this… .
‘It’s clear that since the mana amount is low, the power is also weakened.’
The first time I used it, it went through a steel wall with ease. Is it natural since we are still only in the 3rd tier?
‘I guess I have to go up to the 4th rank to have fun?’
Right now, if done well, it only has the power to break bones.
“Ugh! How dare you attack me! Now it really is self-defense!”
“Fuck you.”
– Oooooh!
Iron Maiden took flight again. One punch to the jaw of the guy who was trying to get up with a shaky leg, and then two punches to the shoulder as he spun around. As he stumbled, I took advantage of the opportunity and struck him in the calf.
It was so fast that it must have felt like he was being hit from all sides. Of course, I stayed still with my hands in my pockets from start to finish.
“What are you doing! Against someone smaller than you!”
“Well, that’s the boss… . That guy is so agile!”
“Shut up! If you don’t fix it right away, you’ll be fired. Fired!”
Ah, now there is nothing visible, right? It seems like he’s too embarrassed to gossip around him.
In any case, it was clear that the word ‘fired’ elicited some kind of chemical reaction in that guy. He picked up the bakdo that was on the stand and suddenly lunged at me.
Unless you’re an idiot, you wouldn’t brandish a weapon at the academy. I can’t do anything. I feel my life is in danger, so I have no choice but to kill him.
“Don’t regret anything.”
“This bastard! I’ll tear you to shreds!”
Until now, I’ve hit places where it hasn’t died, but now that it’s coming out like this, I have to hit it and kill it. I gathered mana in my hands. And a hot water ball was quickly created and launched.
“Ugh!! Sibaal! My, my eyes!”
As I reached the 3rd rank, the power of all my magic increased by one level. Additionally, the power increases again due to the effect of the artifact.
Today’s water balls would be hot enough to cause serious burns if hit by an ordinary person. Sure enough, the guy who got hit in the face grabbed his face with his hands.
“Snow! my eyes! I can’t see!”
“Ugh… . fire! That guy shot a fireball! I shot it!”
You stupid bastard. If I had shot a fireball, the leather would have burned, but would it have ended up with just that much burn? Of course, the reason I didn’t do that was because I didn’t want to waste my precious mana on this guy.
“No more… ! I lost. Get well! Please have mercy… .”
“If you take out a knife, you have to risk your life.”
“What the fuck! I told you to stop!”
Have you found out that I show no mercy? The store owner finally pulled out his knife.
He wants me to kill him. Oh, I will do as you wish. I manipulated the Iron Maid and hit him on the forehead.
“Gurgling–.”
The store owner fell behind with a thump, showing the white part of his face. Judging by the sound of him being out of breath, it appears he was hit by an unlucky mistake and died instantly.
“Snow, snow… .”
“I think it would be more painful to keep you alive. I won’t kill you.”
“Ugh! my eyes! I can’t see!”
I poured cold water on his screaming face. This is not to relieve the pain of the burn, but to encourage the heat to penetrate deeper.
Because my eyeballs were so dry, I would have had trouble walking around with my eyes open. Hmm… . I’m not sure what the level of medical technology will be 400 years from now, but I think it may not be possible to cure it.
“Let’s leave it at this. You know that lese majeste destroys three generations, right? However, Miss Alina here told me to show mercy, so I will gladly let her live.”
“Aaagh!”
“Stop accepting thank you notes… . Alina? Would you like to change location now?”
“Huh? Yes… .”
The body will be cleaned up on its own. I leisurely left the place without even looking back.
***
Some secluded park. Alina and I walked leisurely on it.
Alina was staring into space with a blank face, speechless, as if killing a person just moments ago was so shocking.
‘I don’t want to be that weak… .’
I feel like an old man when I say this. Children living in today’s era seem to be truly weak. Isn’t it common sense that if I don’t kill others, I will die?
Still, I thought I had superhuman understanding, and I spoke to Alina first.
“For a lady, she seemed quite vulgar. Are you okay?”
“Yes? Ah yes… .”
“Then I’m glad.”
Respecting the lady is the virtue of a gentleman. Because Alina is a high person. You need to cheer them up a bit.
“Me! Just now… .”
“Ah, you mean killing the guy who attacked you? I couldn’t help it either. If you don’t kill me, I’ll die.”
Even 400 years ago, it was a time when if you took out a weapon at someone, you had to kill them. It seems like that custom has eased up a bit now, right?
“Thank you for stepping up for me, but… . I think it’s a bit excessive. Yes, murder is against the rules. Well, no matter how much it is in self-defense, it usually only involves subduing.”
No, there is absolutely no reason to suppress it, so why? Guys like that are bound to come back. I should hit him first before he stabs me in the back of the head with a knife.
“I know. I also don’t really like murder. However, with my current skills, it is impossible to suppress the attacking opponent without killing him.”
“Ugh… . is that so. sorry… .”
“Oh, you don’t need to apologize to me.”
“Yes.”
Hmm, but listening to Alina. I feel like times have changed.
There is nothing strange about the lower class walking around with their heads held high in front of nobles.
So, should I at least get some insurance? I guess I’ll need a witness.
“… If I am at a disadvantage because of what happened earlier.”
“Yes! yes Yes, I will come forward and defend you.”
Wow, they haven’t even said anything yet, but they’re eager to get involved. Is she somewhere strange? Normally, I think I would just be scared and not even answer?
“I see. Fortunately, the. Well, I have a lot of work to do.”
“Wait a minute!”
“Yes?”
Alina strode forward and held my hand tightly.
‘What kind of power!’
I panicked and tried to pull my hand away, but I couldn’t shake it off. No matter how weak Erin is, this is it!
“I am there. This is something I’ve been thinking about since a while ago!”
“Wait a minute! Hands… .”
“I guess we are destined.”
“Woo, fate? Oh, I definitely met you here by chance… .”
“Please date me for the purpose of marriage! yes Yes?!”
Holy shit! Why do crazy bitches keep getting into trouble!
