‘Without any modification, this much strength. Natural muscles and bones… No, more than that, being able to consciously control your muscles is great. However, you are still immature. If you feel more threats to your life, you will become more skilled.’

‘Who is the best?

‘Kyle, that spelling is wrong. Your punishment is an extra 100 laps of the training ground, so run. If you can’t do it, you deserve to be punished.’

‘Kid. You must have had a hard time under Raoul. That fool must be quite lacking in words. I’ll buy you a meal next time I see you, so take care of your health.’

‘Kyle, don’t die. I’m sick of making graves for my lieutenants.’

Kyle bit his lip and glared at Rosie.

“You! You have tarnished the honor of someone I consider family! You have left an indelible scar on his heart! And you are trying to tarnish him until the very end?!”

“The last one? What does that mean…”

“Don’t make me laugh. You probably had an inkling of it. The fact that Raul was poisoned by dragon venom! How dare you act cool next to someone who lives with death…?”

“… I knew you had a disease. And that it wasn’t a mild disease.”

“That bitch knows that!!!”

Kyle waved his hand lightly in anger.

The index and middle fingers thrust out like spears and pierced through Logi’s shoulder. Raoul, who used his bare hands as weapons by adding vibrations, copied the technique. However, it was a technique of a deteriorated version that reproduced the weapon with a unique brute force instead of vibrations, but it was enough to tear apart even the king of the beasts.

It was a technique that was far too powerful to deal with someone as powerful as Logi.

“The person who knows that… hurt that person…?”

“I didn’t know… I really didn’t know…”

“If everything could be solved by saying you didn’t know, there wouldn’t have been a war. Saying you didn’t know doesn’t solve even a simple test problem.”

Kyle again swung his index finger, wrapped around his middle finger, and slashed the side of Rosie’s neck.

Although it was only an imperfect imitation of Camilla’s spear technique, Roger felt a pain as if his body had been electrocuted.

“Gyaaaah!!!”

“… Get up. Compared to what that guy suffered on the battlefield, compared to what he suffered from you, this is just an appetizer. ”

Rosie had to get up. If she kept lying down, she wouldn’t be able to face Raoul or her sister.

But as soon as I stood up, the first thing I saw was Kyle, still burning with anger.

“Hey.”

Kyle tossed a ring to Rosie.

“Write.”

“Why is my sister’s ring…”

“Try to struggle harder. So that I can enjoy the taste of defeat.”

Rose quickly transformed the ring into a saber. It was the weapon she was most confident in, and it was also the most suitable weapon for the current situation.

But Kyle caught the blade of the sword that Roger had swung without a care. Even though he caught the sharp blade with his bare hands, only a little blood leaked out, and it didn’t even cause a proper wound.

“Is that all? With that?”

Kyle grabbed the dagger and dragged Rosie towards him.

“Raul wasn’t in his right mind either. To let him have a hard time against someone like you? No, were you really that bad of a body? Either way, you’re a fucking bitch who laid a hand on someone like that.”

Rosie immediately reached out and tried to grab Kyle.

But Kyle saw through it first.

Using his left hand, which he had pulled back behind his waist, he struck Logi’s ribs with his left hand blade. Although it was merely a degraded version of the sword technique used by the Empress, it was enough to break Logi’s ribs.

He only ended up with a fracture because he instinctively twisted his body, but if he had been hit directly, the shattered ribs would have pierced his internal organs and he would have died.

“Are you seriously trying to kill me right now…”

“I’m not a swindler who only talks. I’m not so kind that I’ll just scare you like them. And I’m not weak, unlike those swindlers who have no ability and only hold grudges. Well, I made things complicated…”

Kyle just touched Rosie’s broken rib.

“Ah …

“I’m telling you that I’m going to kill you properly today. Whether you get punished or not. As long as he can live comfortably, I don’t care.”

Rose endured the pain, distanced herself, and transformed her sword back into a chainsickle. If the sword didn’t work, she could just use another weapon.

Kyle snorted as two chainsickles flew from both directions.

“Ha!”

And then, like Raoul, he stretched out his hand and blocked the sharp scythe. Unlike Raoul, he didn’t technically use the vibration, but rather, he just crudely shook his hand and crudely implemented Raoul’s vibration.

It was a paltry imitation with less than half the power and efficiency, but it was able to block Logi’s skills.

“It’s my turn now?”

And then he pulled the chain scythe again and dragged Logie, who was holding the chain, towards him.

“This one hurts more?”

Then, as if in prayer, he put both hands together and struck Roger’s shoulders.

“Gyaaah!!!”

This time, what Kyle recreated was Emperor Asel’s greatsword technique. It was a crude and crude counterfeit technique that imitated the power of the greatsword by holding both hands together. However, like the other techniques, it had more than enough power to deal with Logi.

Rosie, whose right shoulder blade was shattered, let out a scream so loud it echoed throughout the village.

Even she, who was somewhat accustomed to pain, burst into tears, unable to overcome the excruciating pain of this kind that she had never felt before.

“Whew… If you were going to get hurt by that much, why did you bother me? Those people have skills that are incomparable to this. Even a puppy that’s been bothering me for a day can only do so much.”

It was to the extent that they were so miserably defeated by the deteriorated version of each hero’s skills. If they had faced the real ones with such skills, they would have been torn apart without a trace.

However, Kyle was curious about the intentions of Rosie, who had been constantly provoking him, so he trampled on the fallen Rosie.

As I gently pressed down on her shattered shoulder, Rosie continued to scream shrilly.

But there was no way that Kyle, who had seen far worse things on the battlefield, could possibly get sympathy with such a scream.

“At first, we also tried to understand you. Because you lost your only family. Because I have lost all my families… I could understand a little.”

Kyle’s expression began to become more and more distorted.

“But you crossed the line. Not just Raul. Do you know how we felt when we had to see someone precious go through that? Every time I tried to kill you, Raul tried to stop me… I wanted to tear off your limbs.”

Kyle let out the anger he had been suppressing until now.

“I’m just asking you to take responsibility for it on behalf of my teachers, who are like my parents. Yes, I just interpreted their personal feelings in my own way… But so what? You’ve been interpreting everything in your own way up until now.”

“Kyle Benson… Are you enjoying this?”

“Yeah. It feels like shit. Trampling on someone who can’t even fight back properly… It feels like shit. But you enjoyed it. Then you should have been prepared to suffer.”

Rose couldn’t offer any rebuttal.

How can you possibly say that you have never done that? It is an undeniable fact that you have caused pain to Raul, who never resisted any bullying.

“So if you stop now, I’ll let you live, so stop doing ridiculous things and get out. You can just go to the capital and live comfortably, waving your fan around. Just live like nothing happened.”

“If I really quit… will you spare me?”

“I told you. I feel like shit when I harass someone who doesn’t even resist. Unlike you.”

“Then… I…”

Rose hesitated for a moment, then steeled herself and opened her mouth.

“I won’t stop…”

“What? Did you hit your head wrong? I didn’t hit your head because I was afraid you’d become a cripple.”

“If I go back like this, I won’t be able to face my sister…”

“If someone saw you, they would think you’re a stranger now. You bullied that person’s half-body, so it’s like you bullied your sister.”

“That’s why… even if it means dying… I’ll say I’m sorry. No matter what happens, I’ll be forgiven. Only then… only then… can I repay my sister’s sacrifice…!”

“Sigh, fuck…”

Kyle scratched his head and frowned, unable to control his anger.

“That attitude is fucking shit…!”

“Yeah… I guess you see me as your mortal enemy who tormented your benefactor.”

“That’s not it. Do you think I have one or two enemies? The worst thing is not that I bullied or ignored Raul. There are more than one or two people like that.”

Kyle lifted his right foot, which was pressing down on Rosie’s shoulder.

“Your unwavering shamelessness in believing that you can unilaterally restore the relationship you destroyed!!! Is fucking bullshit!!!!!!”

Kyle stomped his foot down, trying to crush Rosie’s head, and Rosie squeezed her eyes shut.

With the expectation that if she were to die with her head smashed in like this, her sister and Raoul would pity her and forgive her.

But instead of Rosie, Kyle stomped on a small rock right next to Rosie’s left ear, turning it into dust.

“….?”

Kyle also had no idea what was happening.

It was clearly his intention to knock me out by stepping on my head.

“Kyle.”

“You…”

It was clearly a different voice from what he remembered.

But Kyle froze because he felt a sense of familiarity somewhere.

The crow blocking Kyle’s path opened its beak and stared at him.

“Just do it up to there. If you do any more, he’ll really die.”

“… I don’t know who you are, but that’s what you originally planned.”

Kyle turned around, spitting on the floor with an annoyed expression.

“Even if I die to Raul, there’s no way I’d kill Leila’s only blood relative. I was just trying to fix her bad habits… That damn bitch is so stubborn.”

“You’re still so kind.”

“Don’t talk like you know me. I don’t know who you are, but there aren’t many people who would act like that to me. Sigh, what the hell… I’m going to get beaten to death by Raul.”

“It’s okay. He’s kind, so he won’t kill you.”

“Don’t talk like you know.”

The crow smiled sadly as he looked at him.

“… Pretending to be angry while controlling your strength until the end. That’s just like you.”

As Rose looked at the crow, she felt the echo of someone familiar.

“Sister…?”
