Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

14. I accidentally stabbed the heroine…

#14. I accidentally stabbed the heroine…

The bell rang signaling the end of class.

This is the end of today’s class.

Dreuk. The chair pushed back and Cynthia rose from her seat.

Then, two female students joined her. She has been her best friend since first grade, in the same class.

“Let’s play together Shiaya~”

“Right. It’s Friday, so let’s play.”

“Ah… I have something to be sorry for, so I don’t think I can….”

“Are you going to the training room again? Because you are too sincere.”

“I’m sorry. Let’s play together next time.”

“You made a promise?”

“Yes.”

Cynthia resisted the temptation of her friends to go to karaoke together and moved on.

Her destination is the training room.

‘I need to check my physical condition properly.’

Cynthia thought that since she took a few days off and she took the elixir, some changes had taken place in her body. She

She And She Thought she should check it out as she trains because of that.

“Let’s loosen up the body first….”

Cynthia drew her bow.

She then said she had a training setup.

[Training – Targeting]

▷Training Stage: Stage 1

▷Number of targets: 3

She intended to start at level one and move up one level at a time. She also took the elixir… She thought the previous record she could break.

“Start.”

[Targeting – Stage 1 begins.]

As soon as she shouted the word start after setting up, the target was created. The augmented reality device in the training room created the target.

The target stayed still in the air.

It’s not too far away.

Shook. Shook. Shook.

Cynthia took out three arrows and fired them in turn.

“Eh?”

By the way.

Pan-! Kwajik

Pan-! Kwajik

Pan-! Kwajik

The targets implemented in augmented reality disappeared with a sound effect.

Clearing the first stage in one go was not unusual.

But.

The power was strange.

I didn’t even endow it with magic… Her destructive power increased compared to when she was endowed with magical power.

“… Why is the destructive power so strong? Hey, did your strength go up? It seems like you’ve gotten stronger lately.”

As Cynthia pondered, she remembered the elixir.

“Does elixir increase muscle strength? I thought she only increased mana… Because it’s expensive too. Performance is different.”

Cynthia thought that the current situation was caused by the elixir.

“Ah… ah! That’s right. Come to think of it, the white light… Is that it?”

A mysterious white light emitted from her body after drinking the elixir. Cynthia thought it might have something to do with her strength.

“Hee hee. Lucky for you. Shall we test a little more?”

Cynthia laughed.

She never thought that this kind of luck would come to her as well.

She decided to step up her training in one go.

“Start.”

[Targeting – Stage 5 begins.]

Ziying-

As soon as the targets appeared, they started moving.

It was definitely different from the first stage where I was still.

Besides, it was fast. But if you pay close attention, you can catch it.

‘This time without magic… Goes.’

Step 5.

If it was before, it was a stage where if you didn’t shoot with plenty of mana, you wouldn’t be able to reach the target, or even if you hit it, the target wouldn’t be destroyed.

As the level goes up, the intensity of the target also increases.

By the way.

Shook. Shook. Shook.

Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik.

“This is how it works… ?”

I was thinking of stepping up one step at a time and then stepping down one by one if that didn’t work.

But I didn’t know it would turn out like this.

The target was destroyed so easily.

Even though it wasn’t enchanted.

“Then… Shall we take it one step further?”

Step 6.

“Does this work?”

Step 7.

“… hahahaha. I thought I could do the 7th step.”

Cynthia looked in front of her in disbelief.

All the targets implemented in augmented reality were destroyed.

“Could it be the 8th level?”

Step 8.

The best record reached last time.

That, too, was a record barely reached by using magic.

I was trying to challenge that without magic.

“Is it a dream… ? Will this work too?”

And it worked.

Cynthia destroyed all of her targets without using her magical powers until the 8th stage.

Cynthia was surprised to see her own strength.

I have become this strong?

Are you dreaming… ?

She pinched her own cheek.

It hurt.

“Kyaaa!”

Cynthia jumped and cheered.

I never thought I’d become so dramatically stronger… !

Elixir is the best!

***

It was Saturday.

I headed to the meeting place feeling refreshed.

For what promise?

Of course, self-defense training with teacher Cynthia.

‘It’s finally Saturday.’

The meeting place was the training room I had rented in advance. It’s set up to be state-of-the-art, but it’s decorated to look moderately old.

I don’t want to look like a rich guy learning self-defense as a hobby.

‘I rented the training room well… Now, only Cynthia can come.’

For that reason, the bodyguards were also placed out of sight.

It’s a place where you can’t see words, there are a lot of guys who have honed their stealth skills, so they should be very close to me.

“Hello….”

Cynthia opened the door and came in.

But somehow she didn’t like her face.

“Oh yes. Does she look more tired than that?”

Cynthia’s face was smiling, but dark circles were visible around her eyes.

Did you stay up all night?

“Ah, yes. I was going to sleep early… Something keeps beating my heart. I couldn’t sleep. Ah, but there won’t be any problem teaching you how to self-defense… !”

“You said you wanted to teach me how to self-defense?”

“Oh, that’s not true… Ah, ah! I don’t mean that… Oh, anyway! I’ll take something like that.”

It was gibberish.

She looked really tired. I don’t know why my heart was pounding. Is something good going to happen?

“Do you want an energy drink? The effect is awesome.”

Taking this opportunity, I handed Cynthia one of her drinks.

It’s not a real energy drink, but an elixir disguised as an energy drink.

Still, the taste will actually be the same.

‘I prepared to give it to you during or after training. I can use it right away.’

“Yes! Thank you.”

Cynthia accepted the energy drink with a broad smile.

She then drank straight away.

“Hmm? It seems to taste a bit bitter… Is it an illusion?”

Cynthia tilted her head and then she finished the energy drink (not energy drink).

“I feel energized right away. That’s interesting. Is this the power of that famous hot hero….”

Yes no.

It’s magic.

There should be an apartment in Gangnam, but if it doesn’t work, that’s even weirder.

There’s one more, but I’ll give it to you when I’m done.

“Drink well! Then, let’s start the self-defense class right away… !”

Cynthia seemed to have planned her curriculum ahead of time.

Looks like you’ve prepared a lot.

‘Oh… It shows that they prepared hard.’

Cynthia first explained today’s schedule and how she will teach self-defense for the time being. She

She seemed to have done a lot of research after hearing the story.

She felt that she had put in a lot of effort in her own way.

She was touching for nothing.

“Come on! Then… Before assuming a situation to use self-defense first. There is something you should know.”

Cynthia cheered her up by clapping.

She explained the situation, focusing on me, an ordinary person.

“When a non-magical person threatens others, they usually have a weapon. Why?”

“Because the person threatening me might be a Magical Awakener.”

“That’s right. Even people without magic are threatening to magic awakeners if they have weapons, but bare hands are not. That’s why you don’t know if your opponent is a Magical Awakener or not, so ordinary villains usually have weapons. Most of them are weapons suitable for stabbing or cutting, such as kitchen knives or daggers.”

I nodded.

“Therefore, for the time being, I will assume that most of the situations where I will use self-defense are normal villains with weapons.”

“I understand.”

“Good! Then, shall we go straight into practice?”

“In practice?”

I’ve heard that you’re going to go into battle quickly, but… I didn’t know that he would teach me self-defense techniques at the same time as actual combat.

“It’s easier to remember if you explain it along with the actual situation. You and I will take turns playing the villain and the self-defense man. Now. Come closer.”

Cynthia gestured to me.

I approached her.

‘Uh… hmm.’

Looking at it up close, I could definitely feel that it was pretty.

I don’t think it’s a heroine… The look was insane.

I’m just conscious.

I was in the middle of looking at Cynthia’s face like that. She touched my shoulder

Then, she pulled her right hand behind her and suddenly thrust it into her abdomen.

It happened in an instant.

“… !”

“If you do this, you will die.”

Cynthia stared at me and said with a smile.

When she used the expression “Dying with a smile,” She felt something creepy.

“Ah. Uh.”

“Are you surprised?”

If you’re not surprised, that’s even weirder.

Suddenly stung.

“The most important thing is to stay calm. Even if you learn self-defense, you won’t be able to use it if your body stiffens in that situation, right?”

“Yes. But I don’t think you’ll be able to respond if I stab you so suddenly?”

“Don’t ask me how many crimes are there these days? Don’t worry about that, I’ll help you react somehow!”

Cynthia said with a smile.

“Come on! Then, this time, the uncle attacks me. You can attack at any time.”

Said Cynthia, spreading her arms wide.

Anyway….

‘Then shall we try it on the side?’

I slowly approached her from some distance away. Thinking she had a cleaver in her hand. She intended to poke her in the side as he brushed past her.

Literally, don’t ask, it’s a crime.

It was assumed that he stabbed passers-by for no reason.

“Because I also have to be defenseless. I will close my eyes.”

“… Really? Can you still stop it?”

“Of course!”

I nodded her head and moved away from Cynthia a little.

She closed her eyes and stood still.

‘Should I assume that the knife was held in her left hand?’

The dominant hand is the right hand, but when passing by, stabbing with the left hand is what to say… Would it be more natural? It seemed so.

‘Okay. Let’s go.’

I approached Cynthia slowly.

Then.

He flung his hand at Cynthia’s side.

She was going to hit it off quickly. She assumed she was carrying a knife, so she decided that a simple tap could do a lot of damage.

But….

Took.

“Hey!”

“… ?”

Contrary to the expectation that it would be blocked, her hand struck Cynthia’s side and came out.

Can you stop it?

‘… Ah.’

I saw that Cynthia’s hand was blocking the other side of her.

… Not reporting means predicting and blocking it.

Sorry. I just stabbed her with my left hand….
