“Okay, next. Let’s jump in.”

I tightened my grip on the wooden sword.

Okay, that’s fine.

Since you told me to rush in, I guess I should just pretend to swing my sword.

If I just get knocked out like everyone else, that’s it.

I steeled my mind and looked at Assyria.

It was a straight posture with no gaps at all.

I gritted my teeth and ran towards Assyria, pretending to attack as best I could.

‘…..Huh?’

…..Why are you just sitting there?

I knew Assyria would dodge and attack right away, because they had done that to others. I also prepared to be hit.

But for some reason, Assyria did not attack.

He just watched me quietly, letting all my attacks roll off his face as if that was all he had.

‘This wasn’t planned…’

There was no way I could fly by myself without even attacking.

First, I swung my sword as awkwardly as possible.

I tried my best not to let the image of myself when I was training come to mind, but as time went by, it was quickly revealed that my sloppy movements were just acting.

This is especially true for Assyria, who has a crazy eye for swords.

Then the Assyrian sword finally began to move.

‘…Great! Now all I have to do is fly!’

Yeah. Come on. Come on!

I gritted my teeth and greeted the Assyrian sword flying at me without even thinking about dodging it.

But my face suddenly turned pale and hardened.

The power of the flying sword was beyond imagination.

If I get this wrong, I’m going to get a bad case of…

‘This is crazy!’

I quickly dodged the flying sword and dodged to the side.

The Assyrian sword narrowly missed me by a hair’s breadth.

A bang, not a whizz, was heard from the wooden sword that Assyria was holding.

I swung my wooden sword, is that the right sound?

If I had hit it wrong, my body would have been torn in two.

Even though he is my favorite character, I couldn’t help but feel angry.

Because that sword just now was definitely meant to kill me.

The sword clearly contained a murderous intent.

“Ugh! Hey, wait a minute…!”

Assyria didn’t stop there. As I dodged, he swung his sword towards me again with his eyes flashing.

This time too, I quickly clashed my sword with the sword that was filled with a strong murderous intent.

My wrist suddenly started to tingle.

As swords clashed with each other, a bang sound was heard.

……How much strength does this guy give me? Does he hold a grudge against me?

“…..Uh, Assyria?”

The professor also started to get suspicious and started to approach.

Yes, Professor. Stop it. Before this monster catches me…!

But Assyria pretended not to hear the professor and started moving his sword faster.

Boom, bang, bang bang bang.

‘What the… fuck!’

I desperately tried to block the sword.

My original goal was to get hit and knocked out, but if I get hit by that sword, no matter how much I am a country person, I will be summoned somewhere.

It only breaks if it fits well, but if it doesn’t fit well… I felt dizzy.

Another sword flew at me.

A red light comes on in my head as a force that is incomparable to anything I’ve ever felt before.

‘….This is really dangerous!’

I rapidly increased the abilities I had given her so far and blocked the flying sword.

I realized it only after I stopped it.

A strong silver aura blade ripples from her sword….

….Did you use the Aura Blade to do this?

As I opened my mouth in shock, my eyes met Assyria’s.

Assyria whispered softly, his eyes sparkling.

“As expected… It’s you!”

This crazy bitch….

I don’t know.

I relaxed the strength in my hand that was blocking Asira’s sword.

Soon, the wooden sword could no longer hold on and shattered into pieces, and I was thrown backwards and crashed into the ground.

My back was still sore, but I survived without any broken parts, so that was good.

“Assyria! What are you doing! Using the Aura Blade!”

The professor came running to me late and blamed Assyria.

But the professor’s eyes were turned towards me, even as he blamed Assyria.

What was in those eyes was absurdly not worry. I hesitated at the look of overwhelming anticipation.

“… Professor?”

“Jodel… You really have incredible talent! Why are you in the special ability class, instead of going to the swordsmanship class! Who would have thought that there was a kid with Assyrian-level talent hiding in my class! Blocking an Aurablade for a few seconds… That’s possible! You really…!”

“No, Professor… That’s not it….”

“No matter what, it’s like that. Assyria. No matter how talented you find someone, can you get that excited? If you were not careful, Jodel could have been seriously hurt!”

If you’re going to blame Assyria, you better control your facial expressions. The corners of your mouth are twitching, Professor.

I looked at the professor with cold eyes.

“….I thought the professor would stop it.”

“Ahem, no, I fought so well that I didn’t even realize it….”

“…..I went too far. Sorry. Sorry. Jodell.”

The situation seemed to be ending warmly without me.

‘….Why did things get so messed up?’

I couldn’t help but sigh as I looked at Assyria, who was glaring at me in a way that made me feel uncomfortable, the professor who was filled with joy at finding a talented person, and the children who were standing there with their mouths wide open in shock.

I was just trying to pretend to be there and not there as an extra in the classroom and read webtoons, but… things got really messed up.

There’s no way there’s an extra who can stop the Sword Master’s sword.

And the biggest problem is…

Even while I was talking to the professor, Assyria was glaring at me as if he was going to eat me.

It seems like there are a lot of eyes watching now so they are being patient…

The line, “Do you recognize me? It’s you!” sent goosebumps down my entire body.

‘….What should I do from now on?’

I had a feeling that my future academy life would become even more difficult.

* * *

“Jodel!”

“….uh. Raon.”

“What are you! Do you happen to know Senior Assyria? What are your swordsmanship skills, and what exactly is your identity?”

As soon as class ended, Raon ran to me and started asking me questions.

Remy, who had approached me, was also waiting for my answer with eyes full of curiosity.

It wasn’t just them. The other kids were also glancing in my direction, seemingly quite curious.

“….I was just lucky. My senior must have been watching over me. There’s no way I could dare take the Sword Master’s sword.”

“……I was serious.”

At that moment, Assira’s voice was heard from somewhere. Everyone’s eyes turned to Assira. It seemed like he was talking to the professor earlier, but he had returned.

“Hey, Jodell. Follow me.”

“…..Huh? Me, me, me?”

“Yeah. Don’t you have a lot to talk about with me?”

Assyria. Don’t say such misleading words.

Everyone looks at me as if I’m suspicious.

In particular, Raon’s gaze was that of a traitor.

But even if Raon is in love with Assyria, why are you looking at him like that, Remi?

I was dumbfounded by Remy’s gaze, which looked at me as if I was the worst person in the world.

“You’d better not even think about running away. If you don’t want to be chased by me for the rest of your life…”

“…Yes. I’m going. Go.”

I followed her, answering Assyrian words that bordered on threatening.

I never even thought about running away.

Because Assyria was a scary woman who did what she did.

I could feel Raon and Remi’s stinging gazes behind me, but I was more scared of Assyria right now, so I followed her silently.

* * *

“…..Please, save me.”

“Heh heh~ I don’t like it~ Why me?”

“Please, just save my life… Please!”

Her long blonde hair, which falls to her hips, is wavy and soft, and her pure white face is flawless.

There was a deep madness in his bright red eyes, and the area under his eyes was red and flushed, as if he was excited.

What stood out was the red one-piece dress that clung tightly to her body. And her breasts were so large that they looked like they would burst.

Now a full-grown adult, Rasia licked her bright red lips thickly with her tongue as she looked at the middle-aged man begging for his life at her feet.

The target of this mission.

When I was young, I was so busy with my missions that I would kill them right away, but now that I have enough free time, I prefer to play with them to my heart’s content and then kill them.

But now I’m starting to get tired of this. Isn’t there anything fun to do?

The thought of it being funny made me think of Jodelle, who had gone missing five years ago.

I only went down to the dungeon for a moment, and then I thought he’d disappear without a sound.

If I had known this would happen, I would have taken you down with me…

I don’t know how much I regretted it later.

It was a really fun poem that I saw after a long time… I tried to find it again somehow, but I couldn’t find it because it had disappeared somewhere.

“Please, save me… Ugh.”

Rashia yawned and took the man’s life with one stroke of her sword before getting up from her seat.

‘…..I’m bored.’

Is there anything fun to do?

Oh, by the way, I guess I’ll take my sisters out to play after a long time. The mission is over and it’s been a while since I’ve seen them…

Thinking of Remi and Solar studying hard at the academy, Rasia impulsively took a step forward.
