God of Hypnosis
"Come with me."
I took Lisa's hand and stood up.
"Decal?"
Lisa followed behind me.
I used the eight-colored pearl to locate Karen.
She happened to be on the first floor of the Melbritt main building with Stia.
"Ah. Big brother!"
Karen spotted us and came running over.
She glanced at Lisa, who was with me, and swallowed in surprise.
"The lady next to you... no way..."
"That no way.
It's the Hero."
Stia came running up a bit later, her face full of emotion.
"Hero!
Hello. I'm Stia Harpe of the Harpe family."
Lisa, looking a bit awkward in her casual clothes, brushed back her side hair unnecessarily from a step behind.
"Hm. The eldest daughter of the Harpe family?
I heard something unfortunate happened in your household.
Must weigh heavily on you."
"You knew about my family?"
Stia seemed purely surprised.
"Of course. Such a regrettable incident.
The red soulstones never should have circulated.
If only I'd handled it more properly..."
"Please don't blame yourself for it, Hero.
I only feel gratitude toward you.
If you'll allow it, I'd rush to help anytime."
"......"
Lisa looked at Karen.
The moment Karen's eyes met the Hero's, she froze stiff.
"......"
"......"
"Karen. Introduce yourself."
"Ah, uh. Hero. Do you... remember me?"
"......?"
Lisa stared piercingly at Karen.
As a result, Karen grew even more tense and couldn't get the words out.
Just facing the Hero turns her into this. I should help Karen out a bit.
"She's a Hero candidate who enrolled with me.
Her name's Karen.
Karen became a Hero candidate to meet you."
"......To meet me?"
Karen clutched the skirt of her uniform and poured out her words.
"When I was little!
You saved me from a monster once.
It's a really scary, frightening memory. Because you helped me, Hero, I'm here now.
And I wanted to become like you, so... I worked really hard."
Hearing Karen's passionate confession-like words,
Lisa blinked in surprise, then gave a gentle smile.
"Thank you.
I don't remember it, but I'm glad what I did helped you.
You look healthy. That's a relief."
"I'm the one who should be thankful.
I could grow up healthy because of you, Hero.
And I got to meet big brother...
Thank you."
She seemed a bit flustered at first.
But Karen responded to the Hero with her prettiest smile.
She'd returned the long-held favor in her heart.
"See? I told you I'd make you meet them."
"Big brother, thank you too!"
"It feels like a dream come true.
To face the Hero this close."
"See? Everyone likes you."
Lisa shyly lowered her head a little.
"I just didn't know... I guess..."
Feels like I accomplished something.
"What now?
If the Hero's okay with it, maybe some personal swordsmanship lessons..."
Stia gasped.
"D-Decal!
What rude thing are you saying? We can't waste the Hero's precious time on someone like me...!"
How much does she admire her?
Karen's eyes were sparkling too, so both of them were probably overwhelmed with honor.
The most important thing is whether Lisa feels like doing it.
"I learned a lot from Decal today, so I should return the favor.
If a not-so-reliable teacher is okay, how about I take a look?"
"......!"
Their faces lit up.
"Please!"
"Me too!"
"Then let's head to the training grounds."
"Only Dragon-rank can enter there. Is it okay if we go, Decal?"
Stia asked worriedly.
"Don't sweat the small stuff.
Think of me as your guardian."
Karen giggled.
"Stia and I are like kids with a guardian now."
I entered the main training grounds with the three of them.
The familiar entry notification popped up.
Some weirdo using the training grounds during festival season? Turns out there was one.
Tilia Vanguard.
Tilia was practicing swings with her ornate saber,
but stopped and turned the moment she spotted me.
"Oh. Decal.
What's up?"
"Brought a special guest."
Tilia's eyes changed when she saw Lisa.
"It's the Hero...!"
"Yeah. Surprised?"
"Hero! Mind sparring with me!?"
Tilia charged in fearlessly.
Lisa's popular.
"No interest in dueling candidates."
But Lisa firmly refused Tilia's challenge.
Tilia drooped her head, dejected.
"Spar with me, Tilia."
"You're too weak, Decal. Pass."
"......You just try losing to me?"
"Need another lesson? I told you, you can't beat me in a fight."
Time to show her the new me.
"Captain.
He's teaching those two."
"More spirited personality than I thought. You have."
Lisa gave a wry smile.
Unexpectedly, a duel between me and Tilia was set.
"No need for a full duel.
I'll drop you right now."
Tilia drew her sword and faced off.
"Beat me thoroughly, Tilia.
Then maybe the Hero will spar with you."
"What makes you say that?"
"Hm~. Just a feeling."
Because the Hero's our captain.
I'll keep that to myself.
"I'm serious."
Tilia exuded fighting spirit.
Impressive. Her red spirit core writhed like an erupting volcano, showing off its power.
The air around warmed up.
Flames wrapped her saber too—she meant business.
But.
My wind spirit completely suppressed all that heat from every direction.
Showing off my power too.
"......Hmph.
Decal. Your spirit arts improved, huh? That's your confidence source?"
Just spirit arts?
"Big brother, win!"
Karen's cheer felt like it came from a hundred cheerleaders.
"Show me what you've learned, Decal.
I'll yield the first move. If I attack first, it'll end in seconds."
"Here I go."
I activated "The Sun-Coverer."
Instant spellcasting, repeated.
Countless Fire Arrows poured toward Tilia.
No aiming needed this time. The Sun-Coverer's power lets you unleash innumerable projectiles at the enemy without delay.
I unleashed a barrage of fire.
"!"
Tilia raised a fire curtain with her spirit's help to block the Fire Arrows.
"Spamming like that reduces destructive power...!"
She's misunderstanding something.
Fire Arrows pouring like a fierce downpour.
Each one overcharged.
"Urk!?"
Tilia's curtain.
The intense crimson blaze her fire spirit made as a barrier—my Fire Arrow pierced it.
Unique skill for the win.
"Haat!"
Tilia swung her sword from afar.
A wave of flames swept the training ground floor toward me.
I didn't even raise a shield—just let the flames wash over.
(Goddess's Blessing protects your body)
Fire doesn't work on me.
Didn't know that, huh. Tilia.
"Decal. You're pretty good. Now I'm really mad!"
Tilia drew her saber and charged.
This is tense.
I put up a barrier. Tilia's movements. So fast they wouldn't register in my eyes before.
But now.
They looked slow enough to handle leisurely.
Using the footwork she'd taught me in a few short hours, I smoothly dodged Tilia's attack.
Tilia couldn't hide her fluster as her strike whiffed spectacularly.
"That's it?"
"......You!"
Flames enveloped Tilia's body.
The flames took slashing form and flew at me. I ignored them entirely, focusing on Tilia's movements.
Prep for fighting Esti again? Ranged attack tech?
Pathetic. I had leisure against fire magic.
Leisure to the point where
I could sneak a glance at Lisa protecting Stia and Karen.
The moment Tilia closed in, I blocked her sword barehanded.
Kiiing!
The air trembled.
"......!"
Not some amazing technique.
I'd layered barrier and wind veil, maxing out defense.
I was certain even deadly strikes wouldn't cut my skin.
Judgment from my changed spellcasting sense.
Barrier hardness isn't gauged by thickness alone—mages feel it.
The basic Barrier from class.
First time, barely better than tofu.
Mastered, at least leather-tough.
But now?
Felt like thigh-thick steel.
Tilia swung her sword.
I deftly blocked her flaming blade, then hugged Tilia tight.
"Ah......"
Tilia was cloaked head to toe in flames for protection.
I casually embraced and subdued her like it was nothing.
Tilia squirmed, embarrassed.
"D-Decal. Let go."
"You lost?"
"......Yeah."
Thought she'd be shocked.
Tilia just looked dazed.
Was that the shock?
Karen and Stia gaped.
"Big brother. When'd you get that strong?"
"......Such movement."
"Leveled up a bit."
Higher level than Esti... I'll slyly hide that fact.
"Don't underestimate opponents, Tilia."
"Never imagined you'd gotten this strong, Decal..."
From Tilia's position, diligently training even today, it must be baffling.
"No. That's just an excuse.
I lost."
But Tilia admitted it cleanly, then muttered.
"......Decal really is perfect husband material......"
......
Might get jumped tonight.
Now for Hero lesson time.
I stuck to the wall with Tilia, watching Lisa teach Karen and Stia.
Started with posture correction.
Then demonstrated her own swings, explained differences, etc.
Thought Hero lessons might defy common sense.
Surprisingly normal.
Of course,
The students' enthusiasm made them look like fervent fanatics.
"Amazing! Big brother!
Doing it like the Hero said, way less strain on my wrist!"
"Decal. Look at this.
My technique's more polished now!"
"......Why's everyone telling me?"
"Ahaha."
Tilia laughed brightly.
"Not because you're the one they want to brag to?"
I raised my voice in response.
"Karen. Your form looks smoother.
Stia's thrust is sharp too?"
"Really? Thanks to the Hero."
"Hero, thank you!"
Lisa smiled at the delighted pair.
"Show us your technique too, Lisa."
"My technique?"
"Please show us!"
"I-I want to see too."
Karen and Stia chimed in one after another.
Lisa looked troubled.
"It's nothing worth showing others......"
"I wanna see!"
"Got it. Give me a practice wooden sword."
Karen handed over her own sword.
Lisa took the wooden sword, faced the wall, and breathed deep.
"Lisa. Skill name?"
"Skill name? Well. This is..."
Lisa's hand moved.
"Called 'Six Islands Eight Thunders.'"
Couldn't even see the motion.
Even if I'd leveled past Esti with Goddess help, it showed the wall between Hero and me.
The slash dominated space.
No other way to describe the scene.
Transcending spatial limits, like a god erasing pencil marks.
Lisa's entire attack range engulfed in countless slashes.
Then six flashes shattered and exploded through the mangled space.
[Protection Magic Limit]
[Protection Magic Limit]
[Protection Magic Limit]
Alarms blared on the status board, and the main training ground wall cracked.
The barrier for Dragon-rank candidate fights broke from the skill's aftermath alone.
Everyone lost words at the sight.
"......"
Stia dropped her wooden sword with a clunk.
"D-Decal.
I think I messed up.
Should've told her about the protection magic."
"......It'll be fine."
What if a living thing had been there?
Wouldn't survive, whatever it was.
No mood to continue training.
Lisa seemed slightly regretful about using the skill.
"That's enough.
First time teaching anyone, not sure if I did okay......"
"I-I'll practice!
What you taught me, Hero. Every day!"
Karen replied energetically.
"Me too. I won't forget."
"Just a quick look.
Don't linger—find a good teacher.
Decal. Let's go."
"See you all later."
I left with Lisa.
Outside had darkened, people thinned out considerably.
"Even I think I got too excited.
Feels like I disrespected Lady Sia."
"You were excited, huh?"
"......"
Lisa looked up at me shyly.
"Thanks for what you did.
I'll never forget it."
"Introducing you to Karen and Stia?"
"Yeah. I'd forgotten for so long.
The important thing isn't just words of thanks. Some things convey without saying.
That's what I fought for, and today was a precious reminder."
"Then.
You're doing such tough work.
Chest out with pride."
"Things changed a lot since meeting you, Decal.
What exactly are you? Melbritt candidate? Adventurer? Student council special investigator?"
"Me?"
"The time to end the endless fate of battle has come.
Everything started after you appeared, Decal.
Since you know Lady Sia too, can't just call it coincidence."
"......"
In other words.
Something beyond my apparent status about me.
Lisa seemed to want to say that.
"Not prying.
Sorry if it upset you. Forget it."
"Truth is."
Lisa watched me.
With a girl's eyes full of anticipation.
To her awaiting fate, I raised my hand.
Snap.
The Hero fell into trance.
"I'm the big-dicked God of Hypnosis."
"......"
I revealed my identity to her submerged in unconsciousness.
And grinned.
