“While a Mob Should Act”

Confirming that there was no one left in the class, I clenched my hands and hit my chest.

“Move! move!”

Again and again, I pounded my chest, trying hard to restart my breath.

“BeerrGEeerAAAAAkLAAAAAAH !!“

Then, finally.

“Geho, goho, goho!“

It's working.

My heart, which had stopped, began to beat back.

Mob-Style Secret Technique: ‘10 Minute Heart Break Mob ’

This is a secret technique that allows the user to sustain abnormal heart attack periods without suffering any side effects by using a small amount of magic to maintain blood circulation to the brain.

This technique is so risky, that even one mistake will result in death, but there are times when the mob has to act, even with the life of the bet.

Today is a good time. That's all it is.

“Owww...“

I checked the wound on my back. This time, there was a high chance that I would be seen up close, so I had to allow myself to be completely slashed.

Of course, I avoided fatal injuries, but to make them look real, the injuries had to be relatively deep.

I applied the first treatment on the wound with magic. It seems like I can indeed continue to use magic when I make it very thin. Or, I was thinking of forcibly removing this obstruction with magic power.

“This time is enough.”

It would take too long to completely seal my wounds, and it would also be bad if someone saw it after this. Recovering to the point where this wound would not negatively impact my movements alone was good enough.

Then I can get away with just saying ‘because of luck, I managed to survive’.

“Hup.“

I stood up while confirming my physical and magic state. I wiped the blood off my face, and fixed my messy uniform.

A refreshing afternoon breeze blew through the window, causing the white curtains to flutter.

Along with the movement of the curtains, bright sunlight and shadows changed their shape.

Seat down. The table is irregular. Door's busted. And blood on the floor. All of this is about the fact that normal circumstances have changed.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

“Come go.”

Out of the classroom, I proceed to the empty hallway.

Sherry Barnett was so engrossed in deciphering the artifact and made her realize the commotion too late.

“This is..”.

He peered closely at the artifact in his hand.

His red eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had realized something.

“No way ... how can this be ..”

Although his eyes were focused on the artifact, the pen in his hand was still moving at a rapid pace.

The commotion nearby did not even cross his mind.

Both the sound of the explosion and the footsteps in the hallway, were all outside of his realm of consciousness.

“What happened?!”

“Academy is under attack!”

“If we can't use magic, then we can't act recklessly.”

Even the conversation of the two knights did not enter his ears.

“How can this ... how can this ..!”

That was how he concentrated on the artifact.

In fact usually, he was often so concentrated on his research that he paid no attention to his surroundings, but never got to this level. This artifact had something very important that had really caught all his attention.

His fur pen continued to move, with a swiping sound.

His pink eyes were only a step away from the truth hidden in the artifact.

But at that moment.

Suddenly, a window broke, and a man dressed in black jumped into the room.

One of those glass shards quickly scratched Sherry's cheek.

“Ow ..!?“

“You're who!”

The two knights drew their swords.

Due to the pain in her cheek, Sherry finally realized her current situation.

“Eh? Eh? “

Holding the artifact to his chest, Sherry hid under the table.

When he gently rubbed his cheeks, blood was seen on his hands.

The black-clothed man laughed behind his mask.

“This really bothers.”

Then he threw away his mask. He had dull red hair and a frivolous aura, as well as eyes that looked like starving stray dogs.

“Hiii!“

The mask slid towards Sherry, making her go deeper into her hideout.

“Shadow Garden .. so you ******** rumored ..”

“Despite your goal, don't think you can leave easily after attacking the academy!”

Lex laughed at the words of the two knights.

“Yes, they probably won't get away with it easily. Shadow Garden, I mean. Oh, and by the way .. ”

There's a pause in Lex's words.

“I've forgotten what our destination is.”

Ka, ka, ka, muttering his laughter.

“Are you fooling us?”

“No, I'm not messing around. It's just that I don't really care about that. I was told to pick up some artifact objects like pendants. After taking it, then I can do whatever I want, they said. ”

Lex's eyes narrowed with a sharp glint.

“Do you guys know about it?”

He looked at the two knights.

“! … Don't know.”

“We have never heard of such a thing.”

The knight's answer brought a big smile to Lex's face.

“Your face says that you know something!”

The air shakes because of magic. Lex applied enormous pressure on the area with an absurd amount of magic.

“…!”

Sherry quickly closed her mouth to hold the scream that was about to come out, then desperately started crawling on the floor.

A little more, the door is very close!

“Who should ~ me ~ start ~ ~ first ~?”

Lex looked around the room with eyes that were like starving dogs.

“How about young women there?”

Suddenly, he disappeared.

Then suddenly, he stood in front of Sherry.

“KYYYYAAAHHHH!“

“Goodbye ~”

“NO!”

Sherry clenched her eyes shut and curled up while holding her head.

But.

“We won't let you!”

Lex's sword swing touched the floor.

As Sherry slowly opened her eyes in trepidation, she saw a knight with lion mane-like hair who was holding her sword and standing in front of her.

“Heeh ~, to be able to move well even without magic.”

“Magic is not everything. With our power difference, fending off your attacks is something easy.”

“Our power difference ... Don't tell me you really believe that you are stronger than me?”

Lex glared at the great knight with a demonic glint in his eyes.

“Crue.”

“Let's at least say your name.”

“Vice Commander Crimson Order, Glen of the Lion Mane.”

The other knight stood beside Glen.

“Marco, also from Crimson Order.”

“No one asks your name.”

Then Marco looked back at Sherry.

“Lari.”

Then the battle began.

Sherry rolled on the floor, made it out into the hallway, then she ran at full speed.

The scream that echoed from behind him made him cover both his ears.
