It was this attitude that made Norius feel offended.
Despite such a low level, they are still so arrogant.
If you know what's good for you, you should kneel down and beg for mercy.
I'll tear off your disguise.
"Hmph, I won't fall for the same trick twice. Why do you think I let her escape? There are no cameras around here. Even if you want to report me to the tuner, I'll take care of you first!"
Norius unleashed his full power of "Intimidation" on Sirocco.
"Well....!"
"Hey, Norius, watch your strength, you're affecting us too!"
Norius completely ignored his companion's complaints; at that moment, he only had eyes for Sirocco.
This time, no one will protect you.
I know the guy named Cass in the back.
He's only level 7, what can he protect?
"Hey, you, Cass, I'll deal with you later."
He said he wanted to become the strongest?
Don't be ridiculous. Do you think I didn't know how many ranks you guys could have risen during the few weeks I was in the police station?
My three companions are all Lv8 or above.
We were 4 against 2.
will win.
If you want to stop it, then go ahead and try!
"Using magic in the city will get you detected by the tuners."
"I don't need you, you nobody, to remind me that I'm controlling my magic."
what happened?
The intimidation seemed to have no effect.
Sirocco simply adjusted the brim of his hat and casually adjusted Corsi in his arms into a princess carry.
Norius anticipated that he would kneel down and fall to the ground, his whole body convulsing and spasming.
But this time, Sirocco was completely unaffected?
And when was he at the incinerator? Was he just passing by? No.
He was obviously hiding there from the beginning.
Speaking of which....
Norris glanced quickly back at Cass.
This man too.
After saying one sentence, he just stood there like a silly goose, showing no intention of using the weapon behind his back.
Somewhat strange.
"None of you should make a move."
Norius warned his companion while his gaze kept shifting between Sirocco and Norius.
Years of experience in the dungeon made Norius realize that something was wrong.
No matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem to be hiding anything, and he's wearing a ring watch.
"I'm in a hurry, so come on together."
Sirocco uttered one of the three lines a man most wants to say in his life.
The other two lines are "You go first, I'll cover the rear" and "Leave this to me."
Ahhh—ah!
These words ignited Norius's nerves.
Norius knew this was a provocation.
"Stop pretending, you stinky piece of trash, you're disgusting."
Resentment towards Sirocco somewhat outweighed reason.
He gripped the knife with both hands, keeping the back of the blade facing Sirocco, so as not to accidentally kill him.
I'm going to smash your face to pieces!
"Noris, you're not really going to make us take action, are you? That's too much."
"We can help you deal with that guy trying to look cool behind you."
"That blue-haired guy thinks he can uphold justice just because he's handsome? That's hilarious."
"No need! Just keep an eye on that guy named Cass, and don't let him bother me."
Norris took five steps in one stride, and Sirocco, who was holding Korthy, rapidly closed in on him, entering his sword-wielding range.
Pull the blade up from the lower left to the upper right and slash at Sirocco.
The target is the legs, aiming to disable the opponent's mobility with a single blow.
Just as Norius was thinking this.
The knife missed its mark.
As if the distance had been calculated from the beginning, Sirocco moved precisely the right number of steps, dodging the first attack.
"Shit luck!"
Norius continued to swing his sword, but each time the result was—
miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss...
Unbeknownst to him, Norius was already giving his all in every strike, transforming the back of the blade into the edge. Sirocco, on the other hand, merely dodged the attacks with small, appropriate movements, flitting about as lightly as a butterfly.
The three companions watching the battle also noticed something was wrong. Norius was chasing after Sirocco, who was carrying a girl in his arms, but he couldn't even hit her with his sword.
"...?"
"Didn't it take a little too long?"
"Is Norius blushing?"
No, it did manage to cut a little, but it only hit the edges and corners of the clothes. The blade didn't even touch the skin, let alone penetrate the flesh.
As Norris swung his sword, he managed to squeeze out a moment of lingering thought.
This guy always manages to dodge at just the right moment, it's almost like he predicts my attack trajectory?
Or is it while you're holding someone in your arms the whole time?!
Just as Norris was gathering his magic, preparing to unleash another skill.
....roller coaster....?
Although Corcy had never actually ridden a roller coaster.
She was drowsy, half-asleep, and tried to open her eyelids a crack.
Her body felt warm, and she felt herself being held and swayed by someone. In her vision, Norius was only about a meter away, striking out streaks of silver light.
Norris released his left hand and activated the skill "Gravity Binding".
The target of the release is Sirocco's foot.
"Oh?"
Sirocco stopped moving with his right foot, and the concrete road beneath his feet began to crack.
How about that? This is a skill that costs a lot of money and is only available at level three!
At the same time, Norius finally saw for the first time the look of surprise in Sirocco's eyes beneath his flowing long hair.
Got it.
"Hooah!"
Norris roared, gripping the hilt of his sword tightly with both hands; the trajectory of his blade was aimed at Corcy's pink-haired head—
The next instant, Norius could not believe his eyes.
Sirocco held the blade between his middle and index fingers, his long, slender, white fingers gleaming.
Norius's attack was abruptly halted.
"Aha?"
"why..."
"That kid!—"
Norius sensed the panicked murmurs emanating from his companions behind him, and his intuition sent a warning signal:
