Kurtz' POV:
*Bang*
A loud sound woke me up from my sleep.
"Hey insect, wake up, we'll be doing training again." Seraphina stepped on my chest.
"Oh... yes, I'll be ready." Tch, I really want to break her legs. God, please give me a chance.
"Then what are you in a daze about?! Get ready!" She kicked me in the stomach.
"Augh! Y-yes!"
-Training room-
The place was quiet as always with only the five of us.
Oh right, I'll be sparring with Yuuki and Freia today.
"You're early, Kurtz, good thing Seraphina woke you up." (Alisse)
"Y-yeah." It's a good thing that she woke me up early but her abusing me just ruined my day. I really want to slam this girl's head to the ground.
"Alright, let's start." (Yuuki)
"You will be sparring with Freia today." (Yuuki)
"Okay" I equipped my sword.
"Yes ma'am!" Freia equiped her shield and sword.
"Warm yourselves up first." (Yuuki)
After doing a few stretches both of them went to their respective sides.
"Fuuh." Kurtz stanced himself upright.
(A tank, she may be strong and tough but she has low mobility. But I can't be too sure since she's one of the top student in the school.)
"Ready-" Yuuki raised her arm. "SPAR!" She whipped her hand.
Kurtz immediately charged at her with great speed. Gripping his sword, preparing to pierce through.
*Swoosh*
(I'll put my weight into my attack and try to pierce through.)
Freia raised her shield and tightened her gripped on the sword, ready to attack the moment Kurtz strikes.
"Haap!" Kurtz pierced through Freia's shield, piercing through slightly.
(I put some weight and strength into my attack and it only pierced slightly, quite nelow my expectations.)
Freia attacked back and slashing him down using the weight of her sword.
*Crack*
Kurtz, who effortlessly dodged her attack, leapt back. The rubbles from her attack scattered through the ring.
(That's quite some strength there, I wonder how terrifying these girls will grow by the time the demon invasion came?) Kurtz glanced at the rubbles. (Anyways let's just get this over with.)
"Stop dazing around, Kurtz! We still got a long way to go, we're not wven using 20% of our power here!" Freia waved her sword around.
"Yes!"
(I know, them going all out and attacking me all at once is quite a hassle without using my own magic. I just started getting tired of playing with swords but... whatever.) He charged at Freia again, this time he ran around her to finding an opening.
"...!" catching a glimpse of an opening, he immediately seized the opportunity.
*Swoosh*
(Heh) Freia smirked, catching Kurtz off guard.
"...!" He reacted on time and stomped on the ground to forcefully propel himself back.
"You know Kurtz, you can use other weapons too you know? I feel like you're not used to it." Freia rubbed her chin.
" " "...!" " " Even the three other girls couldn't hide their curiosity from Freia's words.
"..."
(True, back in my world, I mostly studied science and engineering. The martial arts I learned are long forgotten, I haven't even used them in real battles. I mostly use pistols, shotguns, basic hand to hand fighting and bayonets in closed range fights.) "I'm not sure what are you talking about. True I'm uncomfortable with swords but I'm more bersed in this type of combat than magic." Kurtz put up a confused act.
"Ahh~ I guess you're right. Haha, let's continue!" (Freia)
"Yes." (Kurtz)
They fought for a little while before Kurtz tapped out.
"Good job Kurtz!" (Freia)
"Thank you." (Kurtz)
"Ah, we stayed a little late today. You're done with your training. We'll continue tommorow." (Yuuki)
"Okay." (Kurtz)
(Finally, I can get the hell out of here.)
"Keep up the good work okay? See you tommorow." (Yuuki)
"Yes ma'am." (Kurtz)
-City capital-
Kurtz' POV:
I decided to explore the city around sonce I haven't gone anywhere except meditate and train in the school. I still have many days before the competetion anyway.
As I walked around and bought some snacks here and there, I saw a woman being molested in the alley by three men.
A fat guy about a meter and a half with a muscular build. A skinny guy carrying a staff. And an athletic build guy with a dagger.
"Despicable" I got reminded of a certain disgusting memory from my past life.
I walked through the crowd as I approached them.
"C'mon missy, there's no harm having fun with us right?" One man grinned as he restrained the girl as she turned her head away from his gaze.
"Yeah, yeah. Rest assured we're gonna have fun all night!" The second man encouraged.
"Yeah, you're so cute, wouldn't it be a waste?" The third licked his lips.
"No... please... I have a brother to feed... anything but that please." The girl begged with a trembling voice.
Hurrying my steps and grabbing the fat guy by his arm lightly, I smiled gently at him and said; "Please let my sis go, mister." I begged with a cute eyes.
"Hah? Do I look like I care if your his brother? Piss off kid, I'll return her later." He spitted on my face. Pissing me off even more.
"Yeah, we'll be borrowing your sister for a bit, hahahaha." The skinny guy joked.
"Hey, hey. That's too cruel you know?" The third guy chuckled.
{Telepathy}
'Get out of here missy. You have a kid to feed right?'
"Wha-?" Suddenly confused, she blurted out a word.
'Shhh, I'm speaking through your mind, get out of here.'
'Y-yes' She nodded secretly. "Thank you, sir." She walked out hurriedly.
"You welcome." I smiled.
Now that she's gone...
{Illusion}
"Oi kid, you've got guts eh?" The fat guy glared at me, slapping my arm and grabbing my neck.
"Haah, I'm sick of people grabbing me like this." I growled, immediately grabbing his arm.
{Pain receptor - increase - maximum}
This spell increases the pain experienced by people. It won't kill them right away but they can still die from intense pain.
Using his weight and slamming him to the ground.
"AAAAAGH! ARRRGH! GRRRR!" Stiffening up from pain as he slowly crunched his body, panting as his chest tightened. Not letting him rest, I stepped on his face, rubbing my shoes like a rag. "You got guts spitting on my face, you ugly bastard." I glared at him.
"This bastard!" Grabbing their weapons and attacking me, I decided to play for a bit. Stretching my arm out and conjuring a spell.
{Strength - Zero}
"...! Agh! What happened?! My strength– Oof!" Not letting him finish, I kicked his face. Staggering and losing his balance, he stumbled to the ground.
"You bastard! Fight like a man you coward!" His companion whined.
My eyes twitched as he said that and I gave out a confused look. Slamming his head to the wall and mopping it in the floor with my foot. "Agh! You damn brat, you just want to show off to people don't ya!"
"Hmmm? Show off? I casted an illusion spell outside so that no one sees your soon to be gutted out bodies spread all over the alley you know?" I smiled with a kind face.
"Hiik!" They both shuddered in fear as soon as soon as I finished. As their body was quickly showered in cold sweat and paralyzed by fear.
"Eh? Are you scared? Now that was fast. I thought you'll play with me a bit more." I pouted.
They shuddered in fear as words clawed up their throat.
"P-plea... Plea..." One of them muttered.
"Hmmm? Are you saying something?" I bowed.
"PLEASE LET US GO! WE'LL NEVER DO IT AGAIN! PLEASE... please." He slowly cried as he bowed as if trying to worship me. It feels uncomfortable getting treated like this. Reminds me of those bastards from my past life acting so cocky.
"I'll let you live so live righteously from now on, okay?" I smiled kindly.
Perplexed from what I said, they just nodded and teared up; "thank you... thank you so much." He said with a trembling voice of relief and a taint fear that I'm joking.
"Yeah, your welcome."
"W-we will live as a good person from now on."
Running off in a hurry and I waited for them to leave but before I do; I smirked.
{Cancer - Brain tumour - stage 1}
"Pfft, righteous my foot. I doubt you'll even be kind to anyone anyway."; This will slowly kill them as the tumour slowly tortures them with pain an sickness. I configured it out so that it can't be healed with basic magic because I can't be too sure about them.
"Fuaaa~ That was a good pass time." I walked out of the alleyway and continued with my day.
