The Provocation

The one dazed in the dust was...

'Status Window' was it.

My back itched. The ability to see the Status Window is usually given to protagonists in stories.

Such a Status Window is something even I, who is clearly the male protagonist of this world, cannot see.

My mind is in turmoil.

What if I wasn't the male protagonist of this world? Where did I go wrong...

Stay calm.

I can't find the answer right now.

The urgent thing is to save Chloe from that bastard.

I immediately tried to cast spatial teleportation magic towards Kyle who was helping Chloe. But when I saw the structure in front of Kyle, I had no choice but to stop again.

The rock thrown by the bastard was blocked by another structure made of rocks. I hadn't heard that the lowest rank Kyle uses magic.

A chill ran down my arms. It's strange that such ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠a plain guy remains in my memory. The puzzle pieces are falling into place one by one.

Right now, that guy not only has the ability to see the Status Window, but also the ability to copy others' abilities.

Thinking that far, I withdrew the mana I had gathered for spatial teleportation magic. I can't show my abilities carelessly in front of him.

My main skill, spatial magic, is a rare magic used by very few people. Since I could reach the top of the empire with this magic, I must hide it thoroughly in front of Kyle.

I summoned my inventory in the air while hiding my presence. This is an application of spatial magic. I reached into the inventory and took out a cloak.

A cloak specialized for assassination and surprise attacks.

In case Kyle copies my magic, I plan to cut his life thread with just my martial arts.

I threw the cloak at the bastard. Then I drew the dagger I was familiar with.

The bastard, who didn't feel my presence, picked up the cloak and put it on. He waved his hand in the air because his vision was blocked by the cloak.

Immediately, without giving him a gap, I leaped and knocked him down.

Then, holding the dagger backwards, I severed the tendons in both his wrists. With nerves cut, the guy whose hands were disabled.

I had seen him using his hands to cast rock magic, so I disabled his hands first.

Next, his feet. I slashed his two ankles that were sticking out from under the cloak one by one with the dagger. Cutting the Achilles tendon.

Through the rapid succession of attacks, his ability to cast magic and his mobility were both disabled.

Next was his vision. I stabbed the dagger into the cloak where his two eyes were located.

Zuzuz-

Before the unpleasant sensation of the glass bursting was ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠transmitted from the tip of the blade. I retrieved the dagger and aimed it at one end of his eardrum.

Now the guy has no hope. Or rather, I deliberately left a last hope. That is life. To find out the behind the scenes, I left some leeway.

Just as I was about to start interrogation.

"Who sent you?"

"..."

"Who were you aiming for?"

"..."

The silent bastard. It was annoying to get involved in such bothersome things...

Just as I was about to cut off the life of the silent guy. Chloe shouted at me from behind.

"Ssem! The professors have arrived!!!"

Yes. Now leave it to the professors. I don't want to get involved in such complicated things anymore.

I lifted the cloak covering the bastard and checked his condition. He was already half-disabled. The academy professors will handle the rest.

After handing over the guy to the professors, I approached Chloe.

But...

Kyle was supporting the powerless Chloe who was sitting ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠down weakly. Chloe, who was looking at me with a flustered expression.

I was already feeling uneasy thinking that the protagonist had been taken away. When I saw Chloe and Kyle intertwined, the discomfort peaked.

Soon, Chloe, with her shaking pupils, said to me.

"Ssem, Ssem..."

Kyle, who was supporting her, didn't know about my relationship with Chloe, so he just thanked me towards me.

"T, thank you, Counselor!!"

Actually, the Kyle guy didn't do anything wrong. He didn't know that I and Chloe were lovers, and even if he did, he only saved Chloe.

Rather, he could be seen as a guy full of good intentions and even purity. But the reason my mood is so uneasy is...

Because the incident that occurred this time was a blatant netorale step.

That's right.

Netorale.

This is not netorase.

The situation where my lover is about to be taken away, and I can't even tell if I'm the protagonist, is something I can't easily accept.

Crunch-

My teeth grind.

However...

When I saw Kyle's hand supporting Chloe go to one of her thighs...

I got an erection.

Probably my front of my pants is bulging right now. And Chloe wouldn't miss that.

A mischievous glint spread on Chloe's mouth, who was flustered. She briefly looked at my eyes, then turned her head towards Kyle.

Then, gently asking towards Kyle.

"Kyle- Are you hurt?"

"U, yeah... I, ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠I'm fine!"

"Even though blood is coming out here?"

Chloe pointed at Kyle's arm. Indeed, Kyle's body wasn't in perfect condition. Not severe, but blood droplets were seeping under his shirt.

"Haha... probably scratched by debris. It's okay at this level!"

"Hiiing- What to do... I'm sorry... if I had handled it a little better..."

"Chloe did her best."

Insane. Even Kyle's way of speaking is protagonist-like. Full of good intentions and even purity in his words and voice.

Chloe is throwing the bait at such a Kyle. Clearly a provocation that stimulates my netorase wall.

The Chloe guy...

This time, she caught the ball properly.

Chloe, who was glaring at me, answered Kyle again.

"Kyle. I'm sorry..."

"I, I'm really fine! Chloe."

"I'll take you to the infirmary."

"I, I'm really fine..."

"I'm sorry!"

"Ah, okay... Chloe..."

Now, rather, Chloe started supporting Kyle. Just that made my blood pressure rise... Chloe, who was checking my eyes, dealt the final blow.

She grabbed Kyle's arm and made him cross his arms. Not satisfied with that, Chloe brought his elbow to her chest.

Insane. Kyle will now be supported to the infirmary and feel Chloe's breasts unconsciously.

His breasts are mine...

My sanctuary and my favorite place.

Chloe and Kyle are gradually moving away. In the meantime, Chloe turns her head and looks back at me.

Probably my expression is very bad right now. I, who sent my lover Chloe to Kyle, returned to the dorm with a messy feeling.

Originally, since I was a counselor, I didn't have to deal with sudden incidents. It was just that.

However, rather than that, I wish there was something to kill time. Because Chloe, who took Kyle, was constantly on my mind.

The infirmary has an isolation bed where guardians and patients can stay together. Of course, curtains are drawn, so even in the hospital room, some privacy is protected.

An environment where the love between male and female students is just budding. My lips are drying up.

A very pleasant private room... but the silence is pressing on my shoulders. In that quietness, only the sound of the clock hands rings in my ears.

Tick-tock- Tick-tock-

The sound of the clock hands that I usually don't hear...

Now, it rings strangely sharply. Overwhelmed nerves, and even cold sweat flows.

Uwoong-!

A message came. With a hasty heart, I opened the message. Seeing that the sender is Chloe Argentwood, relief and anxiety come at the same time.
