Avoid Yandere Constellation

Kaine and Jenny faced each other, both holding their swords.

The two of them carefully observed each other, looking for an opening.

‘Hmm. How should I start?’

In the previous loop, I did my best, but since I was certain I would win, I didn’t bother with mind games like this.

So, unlike the previous loop, I felt quite mentally exhausted.

‘I’ll save my Demonic Magic for later.’

Even though the waste products have been removed from my body, it’s undeniable that using Demonic Magic consumes a lot of stamina.

It’s better to save it as a trump card.

After thinking this, Kaine turned up the volume as much as possible.

Ignoring all of this, Kaine activated mental and physical enhancements simultaneously.

After the fight with Ortein, his physical enhancement had become even stronger, and combined with the volume adjustment, his hearing had improved compared to the previous loop.

‘Tsk. I can’t use this for long.’

The combination is good, but it’s also quite risky.

So, I need to finish this quickly.

With that thought, Kaine kicked off and swung his sword.

The speed of his sword swing was unlike anything he had shown in the tournament so far.

Normally, a first-grader would have been knocked out by now, but Jenny, being a supporting character in the game, effortlessly received his attack.

-Clang!

The sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the arena.

Jenny looked at Kaine with a slightly surprised face.

“You’re really serious about this, huh?”

“Should I fake it?”

“No, it’s not that. I just didn’t expect you to be this serious.”

“You’re already using physical enhancement and receiving my attack without any problem, but you’re saying I’m not serious?”

At Kaine’s words, Jenny shrugged and swung her sword.

-Whoosh!

A sharp sound of cutting air accompanied her sword as it approached.

Kaine bent his waist backwards to dodge the attack.

At the same time, he placed both hands on the ground and performed a backflip.

Kaine’s foot aimed at Jenny’s chin.

She was so surprised by the combination of dodge and attack that she widened her eyes.

Then, she hurriedly raised her sword to block.

-Thud!

This bastard. Is he going to die if he loses this match? Why is he being so serious?

Usually, Kaine tends to be casual, but today, he’s being unusually serious.

Jenny, who barely blocked Kaine’s attack, sighed in relief.

“Hmm. If you’re going to be like this, I’ll also be serious!”

Jenny infused her sword with aura.

Kaine was a little surprised to see her using sword energy.

‘Didn’t she know how to use sword energy in the previous loop?’

In the previous loop, she didn’t use sword energy, so it’s clear that she was going easy on me.

Kaine looked at Jenny with a slightly tense face.

A bright smile appeared on his face, pleased with his own tension.

Then, he kicked off.

Jenny swung her sword horizontally.

It was a slow speed.

In reality, this level of attack could be easily blocked.

With that thought, Kaine raised his sword to block.

-Snap!

What the hell!

His sword was cut off.

If he blocked it like this, his gauge would definitely be reduced by the sharp sword energy.

Without hesitation, Kaine let go of his sword.

He swung his fist at her.

-Thud!

Jenny, who was hit squarely by the punch, flew in a Γ shape.

Jenny’s gauge had been significantly reduced.

Kaine, looking at Jenny, said proudly,

“This is what we call gender equality punch, bitch!”

.

.

.

Meanwhile, at that time, Eileen’s group, who were watching the match between Kaine and Jenny, had surprised faces.

“So, Jenny can also use sword energy?”

“Yes, but I didn’t expect her to use it in this match.”

“Hmm.”

According to Eileen, Jenny must have learned sword energy not long ago.

Well, it’s impressive that she learned sword energy at her age.

Sword energy is not something that can be achieved through ordinary effort.

In reality, it’s in the realm of talent.

‘Well, there are some people who have succeeded through effort.’

The mindset to work hard until you almost die is also a talent, so it’s a bit difficult to call it effort.

Anyway, sword energy is a unique skill.

In reality, even if the opponent has superior physical abilities, it’s not impossible to win with sword energy.

The same is true now.

Although Kaine landed one successful attack, he started to get pushed back little by little as the match progressed, without his weapon.

Jenny’s attacks were quite burdensome.

So, for Kaine, even her small attacks would be quite sensitive.

If he hadn’t consumed the elixir in the previous loop, the first match would have ended much earlier.

As Lise was thinking this, Kage, who was sitting on Lise’s lap, tilted her head.

“Hmm. The master’s movements seem strange.”

At her words, the three of them looked at Kage.

Lise asked with a puzzled face,

“What do you mean, junior?”

“He’s not showing the overwhelming performance he did before.”

“Really? I think he’s being serious.”

At Skaya’s words, the other two also nodded in agreement.

However, unlike them, Kage had seen Kaine using physical enhancement, so it’s not surprising that she has this thought.

Lise patted Kage’s head and said,

“If what you say is true, junior, maybe he’s conserving his stamina since there are three matches.”

With that, Lise’s group focused back on the match between Kaine and Jenny.

.

.

.

Thirty minutes had passed since the start of the match.

The third match would begin in 5 minutes.

“Hmm. It’s tougher than I expected.”

I didn’t expect it to be easy, but I never imagined it would go to the third match.

That’s because, in the previous loop, it ended before that.

Well, that was also thanks to cheating.

Anyway, Jenny is stronger than I thought.

She’s incredibly strong.

To be honest, I think I’ll win the last match.

In the first match, to be honest, I lost.

Although I fought evenly with Jenny, who could freely use sword energy, it was quite difficult to deal with her without using Demonic Magic.

However, in the second match, I adapted and won narrowly, leaving her with a gauge of 3.

‘Don’t let my guard down until the end.’

I didn’t use Demonic Magic to conserve my stamina, but there’s no guarantee that she won’t have any tricks up her sleeve.

As I was thinking this,

“The final match is about to start. Both of you, come out.”

William called the two of them.

They walked towards the center of the arena and changed into new protective suits, as their previous ones were tattered.

After changing into the new suits, William declared the start of the match.

At the same time, Kaine used Color Setting and Effect Quality to infuse the dense mana into his circuit.

The wide circuit was filled with dark mana, which would have heated up significantly if it weren’t for the elixir he consumed.

However, now that the circuit was wider, it didn’t put much strain on his body.

-Whoosh!

Due to the Color Setting, blue mana burst forth, far surpassing the level of aura.

Perhaps due to the nature of mana, the audience, including Jenny, who was directly in front of Kaine, swallowed dry saliva and wiped the goosebumps on their forearms. ṞＡℕОʙΕȘ

Kaine calmed the mana that was bursting forth and settled it into his body.

Jenny, seeing Kaine’s appearance, broke into a cold sweat and said,

“Hmm. Isn’t this cheating?”

“Ah~ If you’re going to complain, then you can use it too.”

With that, Kaine kicked off.

His speed was on a completely different level from before.

I didn’t realize that using Demonic Magic after consuming the elixir would be so overwhelming.

However, Jenny, with her exceptional insight, swung her sword horizontally, matching Kaine’s timing.

-Whoosh!

“Are you coming straight at me, Kaine?”

Kaine was hit by her sword strike, but…

“That’s just my afterimage.”

Kaine’s voice came from behind.

As he said, the figure in front of him, which was like an afterimage or a fading smoke, disappeared.

Jenny, trying to react quickly, swung her sword backwards.

-Thud!

Jenny was thrown into the opposite wall.

Fortunately, the protective suit prevented any serious damage.

Kaine, not giving her a chance to catch her breath, was about to finish her when…

“Yes, I surrender.”

Jenny raised both hands without hesitation and surrendered.

If it had been a life-or-death match, she wouldn’t have given up so easily, but continuing the fight would only lead to a certain defeat.

So, her surrender at this point was a good decision.

Hearing Jenny’s surrender, Kaine completely withdrew his mana.

“Jenny has surrendered, so the winner is David von Kaine.”

With that, the first-grade tournament came to an end.

.

.

.

Meanwhile, Frac, who had been watching the match between Kaine and Jenny, smirked.

‘Kaine is stronger than I expected, but…’

It’s not enough to fail the assassination.

Kaine seemed to have won against Jenny quite comfortably, but he was breathing heavily and sweating profusely.

In other words, now is the perfect time for the assassination.

Frac left the audience and looked around.

“No one’s here.”

He used his special ability, Invisibility, which made his body gradually become transparent from the bottom up, as if it didn’t exist.

Once he was completely invisible, he activated Aura Concealment.

‘The preparations are perfect.’

The combination of these two abilities is specialized for assassination.

He is a specialist in assassination within the cult.

In reality, even if he were exposed as a spy, he was confident in his ability to escape.

It’s no wonder the cult sent him to infiltrate the Royal Academy in the Royal Capital.

‘I heard that Vilg was captured by the David family.’

I don’t know how Kaine captured Vilg.

However, there’s a wall between Vilg and me.

‘But I’m still curious.’

Vilg is embarrassing compared to me, but he still has some skills.

So, it’s not surprising that I’m curious.

With that thought, Frac waited for Kaine to come out of the arena.

After 3 minutes,

“Damn it. You went too far in the last match, didn’t you?”

“What?”

“Huh! In the last match, you said, ‘That’s just my afterimage,’ right? Were you deliberately trying to make fun of me?!”

“Ah~ If you’re going to complain, then you can be stronger than me~”

Damn, he’s so annoying.

Even from a distance, watching their conversation, Kaine’s annoying expression and voice make me feel disgusted.

And Jenny, who is directly experiencing it, must be furious.

Indeed, Jenny’s face turned red and blue, and she trembled.

Kaine, seeing Jenny’s reaction, nodded in satisfaction with a satisfied face.

“By the way, are you going to watch the Royal Tournament?”

“Yes, but you’re talking as if you’re not going.”

“Ah, I have something to do, so you go first.”

At Kaine’s words, Jenny tilted her head in confusion.

“Something to do?”

At her question, Kaine muttered in a voice too low for Frac, who was following him, to hear.

“I have to catch a rat.”

With that, Kaine smiled like a villain.
