Do Yu-jin held back a sigh and looked straight ahead.

There stood a woman with a rough and shaggy appearance, with spiky orange hair, bloodshot eyes, and healthy brown skin.

A beauty with a unique and charming aura, reminiscent of a free-spirited black cat.

No matter how hard I looked, it was none other than Kagura Rumi, one of the ten first-year girls like Erio.

‘Why on earth is he here… … ‘

When Do Yu-jin was complaining about her luck.

Paat-!

Rumi suddenly kicked the ground and moved towards Do Yu-jin.

As her new form moved, the spiked iron clubs she held in both hands were swung with all her might from top to bottom.

Kwaaang-!

The building, which had fully received that power, shook as if an earthquake had occurred, despite the owner’s generous investment in carefully enchanting it with shock dissipation magic.

In such a situation, the floor of the building was shattered and a cloud of dust was rising.

“Huh? You avoided it, right?”

Rumi said with a smile, as if she found it amusing.

Then she swung her cudgel and created a wind that cleared away the dust, revealing herself to be a wild animal that enjoyed fighting.

An appearance that naturally intimidates the viewer.

‘Ugh.’

However, Do Yu-jin didn’t show any particular reaction to that appearance.

That would be the case, Kagura Rumi was known as a natural beast and fighter.

‘I guess I’ll hide for now.’

SWEET-

“What the heck, are you running away so casually?”

As he disappeared, Rumi sniffled and twitched her nose as if she had lost some steam.

Do Yu-jin wanted to just ignore those words and disappear like that.

But that couldn’t be possible.

‘Right now, I don’t want to provoke him unnecessarily, so I’m maintaining a somewhat awkward hiding position and leaving a slight scent in the room, but if I start to run away in earnest, the scent will naturally disappear and he’ll change his behavior.’

By the way, the most likely change in behavior was Rumi going on a rampage, swinging that monstrous club around indiscriminately and destroying entire buildings.

‘To avoid that situation, we need to divert his attention somewhere else first… … ‘

Hmm-

‘Since it’s come to this, should I try gathering some information?’

Do Yu-jin, who had been observing her situation for a moment, cleared her throat and spoke.

“Kagura Rumi, a first-year freshman in the circle.”

“Huh? What, do you know about me?”

Toouk-

“You knew I was coming and were waiting here, right?”

Rumi said with a smile, the club slung over her shoulder.

However, at Do Yu-jin’s subsequent words, Rumi’s expression immediately hardened.

“And the youngest daughter of the Nurapa, the yakuza that rules over Japan.”

“… … What are you? How do you know that?”

Gulp-

‘Crazy, this is something you shouldn’t touch.’

Do Yu-jin broke out in a cold sweat for a moment.

Because while I was spouting out the information I had vaguely in a plausible tone in order to gain the upper hand, I accidentally touched on a part of the heroine that shouldn’t have been touched.

‘Huh, what is it? Judging by the atmosphere, is it some kind of secret of birth? Ah, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have skipped the story!’

Most of the character information in Do Yu-jin’s head was gathered from the community.

That’s why Do Yu-jin didn’t even know that Rumi had a secret about her birth.

‘How do I fix this?’

Do Yu-jin was desperately worried.

But soon an epiphany came to him.

‘Wait a minute, but is there a reason to bother with this in the first place?’

After thinking about it carefully, I realized there was no need for that.

‘Of course, if I don’t handle this situation properly, Rumi will become hostile towards me.’

But even if that happened, it didn’t really matter.

Recently, there was one thing that Do Yu-jin realized while helping several heroines.

That’s because the assistant position isn’t exactly comfortable.

‘Then wouldn’t it be easier to approach her like a villain? Besides, Rumi is the type that gets stronger on her own if you just tease her sometimes, so she’s pretty easy to manage.’

Swish-

Do Yu-jin, who had finished assessing the situation, appeared in front of Rumi and lightly snapped her fingers.

“Is that club for decoration?”

“Yeah, figure it out yourself, right? ”

As Rumi spoke, a ferocious smile appeared on her face.

Her eyes were shining brightly red.

◎ ◎ ◎

Whirik-

Do Yu-jin swung her dagger.

A light stroke of the knife that draws curves as if painting with a brush.

Slurp-!

In response, shadows from all directions rose and rushed towards Rumi.

A sight that looked like countless mad dogs rushing in with their fangs flashing.

Faced with a crisis that could instantly turn a woman into a blood clot.

“Follow me!!!”

Instead of being afraid, Rumi put all her power into her weapon and swung it.

The thorned club and golden staff glow with red magic.

A technique commonly called sword energy, which surrounds an attack with magical power to increase its destructive power.

Of course, the attack that Do Yu-jin had just shown was not something that could be easily countered by simply using magic power.

but.

Kwakwakwakwang–!!!

Lumi’s swing was not an ordinary swing that simply contained magical power.

‘This is ridiculous.’

I kind of expected it to be like that.

But I can’t believe that all the shadows in the battle line would be shattered in one attack.

While Do Yu-jin let out a small laugh at the sight of something that looked more like heavy equipment than a human.

Kwakwakwang–!!!

As if trying to live up to that assessment, Rumi dashed towards Do Yu-jin, destroying everything that stood in her way.

In fact, it was originally impossible to produce this kind of power by simply applying magic power.

However, Rumi was currently breaking such common sense.

Why is this possible?

It was simple.

“How much power do you have to have to do something like that?”

It was because Lumi’s power was strong.

To be more specific, it is possible to crush steel with just brute force.

Literally innate strength.

Thanks to this, Lumi was able to create a blood cake in one shot from most monsters without having to use any magic power.

And that’s her.

“If you’re curious, try it out!”

Now, he was strengthening his entire body’s strength with his own magical power, increasing the weapon’s destructive power several times, no, dozens of times.

‘Even if I just lightly brush past you, it’s the road to hell. I was prepared for it, but it’s still dizzying.’

Do Yu-jin felt her skin tremble slightly and wiggled her fingers.

Then, the fragments of shadow that had been shattered by Rumi’s attack and scattered into the air exquisitely obstructed Rumi’s vision.

Swish-

Do Yu-jin took advantage of the gap and used [The One Who Walks Through the Transparent World (5★)] to disappear.

“Tch, tag again!”

Rumi opened her mouth and clicked her tongue, sniffing with all her senses turned up to the max.

But no matter how much I sniffed, it was impossible to find Do Yu-jin, who had completely hidden her body.

The defeat has continued over and over again.

“Ao!”

Rumi slammed the golden baton on the floor of the building, expressing her frustration and defeat towards him.

Do Yu-jin, who saw him, let out a voice that was changed to [Palace Hatred (7★)] mixed with the growl of a tiger.

“What, your attacks are pretty weak? Are you already tired?”

“Ha! You’re the one who’s opening your mouth more and more? Are you starting to get nervous?”

Rumi responded to Do Yu-jin’s provocation with a fierce voice.

However, Rumi’s feelings while saying that were extremely complicated.

‘What the hell is this kid doing? How can I be pushed this far by a guy who can’t even fight properly?’

What followed that mixture of shock and irritation was a deep question.

‘The fact that he completely disappeared from my senses in a short period of time, and the way he precisely cut down only the vital points he saw as he came up… … It’s clear that this kid isn’t fighting properly right now.’

It was easy to guess from various traces that Do Yu-jin was not a person who specialized in ignorant head-on confrontations like himself.

But the question is… …

‘Why have you been trying to force a head-on confrontation like this ever since the fight started?’

Ugh-

Rumi, who had been thinking and thinking, could not hold back her curiosity and opened her mouth.

“Hey, let me ask you one thing.”

“What, are you surrendering already?”

“Enough with the useless talking.”

Rumi said with a frown, her pride hurt.

“Why have you been fighting like this since a while ago? No matter how I look at it, it seems like it’s far from your original fighting style.”

“Oh, that part bothered you?”

Do Yu-jin thought about it for a moment.

Because I was wondering how to answer this question as an obstacle rather than a helper.

But after thinking about it for a moment, I was able to come up with a suitable answer right away.

“You like it, right? This kind of stupid, brute force fighting style.”

“Huh? How did you do that… … ”

Huh-!

“No, what is that? I’ll beat you with what I’m most confident in. Is that something like that?”

“Well, you could say it’s similar.”

Do Yu-jin shrugged her shoulders.

Rumi, who saw him, thought for a moment, then smiled and said.

“Ha! Then, instead of running away like a coward, why don’t you fight head-on?”

“… … You didn’t think I’d be able to provoke you like that right now, did you?”

At Do Yu-jin’s words, Rumi blushed and was speechless.

Do Yu-jin, who saw him, clicked her tongue lightly and said.

“I already know that what you like the most is to fight each other head-on like crazy. But why do I feel the same way when I fight like this?”

“That’s it… … ”

“Yeah.”

When Rumi stuttered, Do Yu-jin spoke in a pitiful tone.

“The difference in level between you and me is so big that if I fight you the way you just said, you’ll die right away, so I’m fighting you like this.”

In fact, this was Do Yu-jin’s bluff.

If you fight like you wanted, saying, “You hit me once, so I’ll hit you again,” Do Yu-jin, who has a paper body, was going to lose.

“This profit!!!”

However, Rumi, who had suffered so much up until now, was unable to see through Do Yu-jin’s bluff and could only helplessly shake her fists.

“If you want to fight, grab my clothes first. Then I’ll fight you any way you want.”

Do Yu-jin’s blatant provocation.

“Okay! I’ll grab those annoying clothes and throw them on the floor as you wish!”

Lumi continued to fight, feeling her body heat up and moving faster and stronger.

Of course, Do Yu-jin easily dodged her attacks like a bullfighter using transparency and shadow manipulation.

But still, she didn’t give up.

Shhh-

Well, it was fun.

This is the moment when you can wield your pure power without being looked at with disgust or fear, and compete with your enemy.
