An npc who just wants to live idling around.

24.Akane Scarlett



In kiriko's 3rd school year, it is known that kiriko faces a boss in an attack by a group of assassins on All and then that same group of assassins attacks on a few occasions, and always their commander faced the protagonist as boss.

the commander of the said group was known as Akane Scarlett, also known as [the scarlet witch].

She was a very difficult opponent, and although her nickname was the scarlet witch, it was different from what people might believe.

her name came from scarlet because of her blood-red hair, apart from being a user of fire magic, she was a user of double daggers, a witch they called her as an insult, because she always used said daggers to infuse them with fire magic, when she stabbed someone, burned them from within, and they said it as a reference to witches who were burned at the stake or also known as users of black magic.

Back to the topic, in the game, the scarlet witch had absurd and broken original abilities, and she was quite sharp in the game, players never wanted to fight her.

she was like the counter to the plans, the artificial intelligence had developed a very problematic boss, who read your first and second movements towards her, and already had countermeasures for the following movements, you had to have a high level to fight against her and in Especially a lot of coordination and flexibility for the console buttons, despite Kiriko's absurd abilities, it was still too difficult to beat that woman without using a single-use artifact or paying to level up your characters or to buy more.

In addition, they were events that occurred in the third year of Kiriko where it was said that it is like being in the middle of the game, that is telling you a lot, in other words, she was a broken enemy.

Her origin story was told in an interview by the developers after the first game, her trauma, and the path she started in the attack of the first dungeon, she was the only survivor of the 10 people who were left with the Wolves.

I remembered those details and I plan to save those students, not out of pity, but as an exchange, it was said that she had a ring, she was called [the ring of shadows].

It was a very incredible ring, the function of this or at least what was discovered in Akane's abilities since when her owner died, the ring died with her.

it was that it creates a clone with your element, and that's not all, it's not like a common clone where it's just a sheet of mana paper that evaporates when moving away from the user and dies with an attack, that ring created a copy of meat and bone of yours, which could be used to gather information, and had a storage function that traveled to your ring, rather perfect for stealing things and much more.

Being currently a freshman B student, I was planning to go see Kumiko and see if I can find her and observe her, if necessary the approach so that I can make plans if necessary, but when I arrived, I saw a couple of guys surrounding Kumiko's seat and no red hair nearby.

' so I was wrong huh? Or maybe she is not here? True, it's break time, there's still a chance.

While I was thinking about when I should go back to see if I can find it or not...

Kumiko came to my side, with a mischievous smile.

- master, thank you for coming for this humble servant,

'what the hell is wrong with her? Does morning coffee hurt her brain? or is?...

Looking away from her, I saw 2 idiots looking at me like they wanted to kill me.

'aigo, I hope they don't come with stupid questions.

-hey you, is she your servant?

'ha... I guess I asked too much.

" Yes, I guess so.

- Perfect, then give it to me, and I'll exchange it for 5000 academy points.

'um... that would be enough to live on for a while, seeing as he wants to try something with Kumiko, I guess I could give her permission.

Looking at Kumiko, I gave her a look for her to understand the plan and confirmed it with her smile.

"Okay, I'll permit you to take my maid.

- Perfect, give it to me.

before the guy gets to grab Kumiko's arm, I told him.

"Money first, brother.

- Let me go, and I'm not your brother, but since it's a deal, take it.

while he moved something on his last-generation phone he signaled to me to show him my id.

When I entered my id in contact with the back of his phone, my id confirmed that I received 5,000 points, which was equivalent to 5,000 coins.

"Very well, Kumiko, you have my permission to go, I'm going to the cafeteria.

- I don't want to serve that guy, I'll go with you, master.

" as you like

as he walked out with her next to me, the guy yelled at me from behind.

- wait! what the hell was that!? she is supposed to be mine now!

"Relax man, like I said, I would give her permission to go with you, but she doesn't want to, so what's my fault?

-You are her master, aren't you? then shouldn't you order her to come with me?

"And I did, but she always disobeys me, so there's nothing I can do.

You lying bastard!

the silver-haired guy yelled as he drew his sword from his ring.

'looks like someone will die today huh?

when I was putting my right hand into my pocket, he was reaching my neck with his luxurious sword, while I was praying that nothing troublesome would happen to me after this, I saw how a pencil hit his head at the same moment that I was about to take something out of my pocket.

'ho... that shot would have been certain death if it was a knife, even so, that could be death if it was the sharpened pencil, who the hell raises a murderer in a school of heroes?

Turning around, I saw a short girl with glasses with her hand outstretched who trembled at the naked eye.

' bingo

a girl with long red hair, light red eyes with black lace glasses, to the naked eye she is Akane Scarlett, the future antagonist.

Or I hope so ... in the images of the game you could see that she had a lot of curves ... but there is not much in this girl, she is small,

'Perhaps she is her twin sister?

While he thought where is who I was looking for, the idiot got up rubbing his head in pain, while he screamed at the top of his lungs with anger.

- Who the hell dares to throw a pencil at me?

Seeing Akane, the guy who was no longer in her right mind, he charged at her, her sword in hand.

'You can't throw pencils at someone anymore without them coming to slice you...

Pulling out my wooden sword from my ring, I ran towards them and pulled Akane behind me, I used the flow of the guy's attack to collide with the horizontal part of her sword and deflect it to the ground.

after deflecting the guy's attack toward the ground, I met Kumiko's shocked gaze and returned her message with my gaze.

'don't look at me like that, this one was cheap in the supermarket, practice sword for children, 2x1, you also have one like that, besides, normal swords are very expensive

- 'It's not that, master, my question is... who the hell can block a sheet of metal with a piece of wood!?

Or so her look said, so I answered her.

'even you can do it if your opponent is that weak

I wanted to keep chatting with Kumiko with my eyes, but the guy recovered from his initial shock and wanted to hit me again, so I just started deflecting his attacks to the ground.

Although Ren said that, both girls who were watching the fight were more shocked since the guy Ren was beating was not just any weak guy, he was the one in the top 10 of the freshman ranking. ..

The man was getting desperate, seeing Ren's posture, he was running out of options, when he was about to use magic, a gust of wind hit him from the side and pushed him to the ground.

'doesn't this guy have a vision? How the hell can 2 attacks fall on his sides and he doesn't notice?

While I was thinking about that, I heard a female voice from my side.

-You students, how dare you fight in the corridors?

turning my gaze, I was able to recognize the owner of the voice at a glance.

Catherine Arlington.

'Oh...

A woman with blond hair, and blue eyes, she wore a hair stick with a small light blue chain at the end, she had it like a bow and left her hair loose underneath, she wore a black skirt with gold stripes and a white shirt, with wristbands on the arms with golden lines the same as the one on the skirt.

She looked at the student who had a scared look for a moment, then she turned her attention back to me.

- what happened?

Catherine asked with an attitude and look that she wouldn't take no for an answer, so I could only tell her my version of events calmly.

"Well, you see, I made a deal with him a moment ago and after doing my part of the deal he came to me and wanted to attack me, then a classmate saved me by throwing her pencil at him, he wanted to attack her later, and I used my wooden sword to prevent him from hitting her

-And how do you explain the beating you were giving him with a wooden sword?

' are you seriously asking me that? this guy is too weak to need anything more than my wooden sword.

"... surely he was disoriented by the previous pencil hit.

- That's right?

Kumiko and Akane nodded like chicks picking rice.

Then she directed her attention back to me.

-Very well, as the tutor of room B, I will sanction that student myself once I see the cameras, but I suggest that you don't come back to this place, since that child is a nobleman and can get you into trouble.

 advise me Catherine, and I must say that I am grateful.

'It would be better to pass the pot to kiriko if possible, no matter how noble that guy is, he started attacking first and kiriko being kiriko won't let him pass.

"Don't worry, teacher, I'll avoid coming back often to this classroom.

- Very well, you can retire.

she made a bubble of compressed air around the boy on the floor, and I floated him and took him straight down the hall, I suppose to his office.

'It seems that she made a prison with air pressure, yes, All's teachers are on another level.

when I was about to go with Kumiko to the cafeteria, I remembered the red-haired girl who was picking up her books sitting on the floor that had fallen, I suppose because she was scared, and I went to her.

"Thanks for your help.

while I stretched out her hand for her to get up, because she was still on the ground, I saw that she shrunk like a chick when she was cold.

'um? what the hell? trauma to being touched?... so abuse or rape huh? I hope not, it would be difficult for a girl to get rid of that kind of pressure easily.

"Sorry for being too familiar with you, and again, thanks for your help just now.

I thanked the girl who didn't answer and was still cowering on the ground, and I turned to Kumiko and said in hate.

"She may have trauma to men, help her take her to her destination, get acquainted with her if possible, and then we will meet in the cafeteria, I will have your lunch ready.

- as ordered master.
