How did I turn my victim into a phoenix-like hero?

This guy is definitely not a low-level weakling!!

When Norris's mind went blank for a moment, not knowing what to do next.

Sirocco's body swayed sharply.

“——Huh?”

His right foot, which was the pivot point, made a creaking sound on the road. He spun around, ignoring Norius's strange cry, and his left foot drew an arc upwards.

When the jeans-clad thighs came into Norius's view—Norius was sent flying.

A super-fast spinning kick.

The katana struck Norius's chest with terrifying speed, and a powerful kick sent Norius flying toward his companions.

Norris had no time to defend himself and couldn't even scream. He slashed across the concrete surface at high speed, knocking down his three companions and motorcycle like bowling balls, and finally fell to the ground in a spread-eagle position.

63. My king's power—!!!

That's so awesome!

Sirocco tiptoed on his right foot, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

This is what it feels like to have power.

Looking at the thugs on the ground, groaning and stammering for a long time, still unable to straighten up, Sirocco felt a sense of exhilaration, as if he had slashed a monster down to its last sliver of health with a single blow.

Conversely, there's also the frustration of monsters stubbornly surviving with only a sliver of health.

If this were an underground city, these scoundrels would have been burned long ago. Unfortunately, this is a civilized asphalt road in modern society, where dead people go to jail.

Sirocco has made up his mind.

Today we must settle the matter of Norius once and for all.

He wanted to send a message from the operating ring, but because he was holding Corcy, it was a little difficult to reach the ring with his hand.

"Excuse me....."

The sound came from inside her arms.

Corsi's bright eyes darted away, her cheeks flushed a deep rosy, and her breath was warm and she seemed very uneasy.

"Can you put me down? I'm okay now."

"..."

Although the coffee scent emanating from Corsi was alluring, and she was soft and warm to hold, Sirocco silently put her down.

“…”

Corcy interlaced her fingers and rubbed them together, as if she was thinking about how to organize her thoughts.

Sirocco manipulates the ring clock to send a distress signal to the tuner.

It's faster than I expected.

Corcy regained consciousness quickly.

Her constitution was more tolerant of abnormal conditions than expected. Sirocco originally planned that everything would be over when she woke up, and she would wake up in her bed at home.

But she woke up so quickly...

Sirocco had a bad feeling.

"Excuse me, do you know Cass? Why did you knock me out? Is this...some strange game?"

Are you all in cahoots?

But Cass is here, so this masked woman (?) shouldn't be trying to harm me.

Facing the red-faced Corsi, Sirocco silently walked to the vicinity of Norius and his group.

Cass ran over to Corcy as if taking over a baton.

"Are you alright? Are you hurt or uncomfortable anywhere?"

"Eh, eh? No, no, no, thank you for saving me."

Corcy touched her chest, a gentle smile appearing on her face.

"Um, who is she? Cass, your friend?"

"Well, how should I put it..."

Cass was somewhat conflicted. He hadn't done anything the whole time, except to stop Norius and the others.

Sirocco instructed that if Corcy woke up midway, they should just make do and play it by ear.

Anyway, don't mention Sirocco's name.

However, if Sirocco hadn't foreseen this, Corsi would probably be...

"Cass, why are you staring at the ground? Just say what you want to say."

"is teacher."

"Old, teacher?"

I'm sorry, Sirocco!

After much deliberation, Cass chose a compromise.

"Could it be what you said these past few weeks, teacher, Cass?"

"Yeah, he... uh, she was free today, so I asked her to come to your coffee shop for a bit, but who knew you'd run into something like this, Corsi."

Lying caused Cass some inner turmoil; in fact, he had been squatting there from the beginning.

The reason why Sirocco was described as a girl stemmed from a little prank in Cass's mind.

If we say now that Sirocco is the teacher who has been guiding everyone's leveling up these past few days, then when he is willing to reveal his true identity later, Brid and Corcy will be more likely to accept it.

Anyway, the teacher is indeed Sirocco.

Then you'll definitely... Sirocco, you'll agree, right? Join our team.

"Oh, I see. She was actually fighting while holding me the whole time. She's amazing."

Corsi looked at Sirocco not far away, her eyes filled with admiration.

I can hear you.

Sirocco pretended not to hear their conversation and looked at the four people writhing on the ground.

It looks a bit like a maggot or a mealworm.

It wasn't that he had any sadistic tendencies, but rather that he wanted to prevent them from escaping.

The tuner will arrive soon.

Given Corcy's testimony and her experiences, Norius had only been out for a few days when he attempted rape and caused a disturbance. Not only would he be expelled from school, but according to the Lawbringers' rule of severely punishing repeat offenders, he would also be sentenced to a year in jail.

When Norris emerges, having lost everything, he will be unable to stir up any trouble.

With this, a weight was finally lifted from my heart. My sister Hill wouldn't run into that bastard, and there would be one less unstable factor when Cass and Cliff dueled.

Although the result was not very satisfactory for Sirocco.

The main point is that this incident is a great opportunity for Colesie to significantly increase her affection for Cass. At the very least, Cass can take her home, and when she wakes up, the two of them will be looking at each other. Cass can then say that he saved Colesie, and that will be fine.

But now, she woke up faster than expected and thinks I saved her.

Is this another butterfly effect?

Sirocco was both amused and exasperated. Because of Cass's words, they had their team change their monster-hunting spots, which caused Korsi to level up faster and become more tolerant of drugs, thus waking up sooner...

"Who...are you...? Ugh—"

Norris struggled, drenched in sweat, spitting out blood from one corner of his mouth, and shakily propped himself up on one side.

It wasn't that he didn't want to escape; his body ached as if it were about to fall apart, and he lost the ability to escape.

He looked up at Sirocco, fear appearing in his eyes for the first time.

Sirocco estimated this was his last conversation with Norius, pondering how to say something to disgust him as much as possible, and awaited the arrival of the tuner—

"?!"

Sirocco suddenly became unable to move.

<Gravity Binding>

Fool! You don't really think I'm scared?

Norius used all his magic power, and the deep green magic power covering his entire body flashed intensely for a moment before dissipating, all to cover Sirocco's entire body with the effect of <Gravity Binding>.

With eyes full of resentment, he raised his knife and stabbed at Sirocco.

Even if this strike was merely intended to delay Sirocco's advance so that he could escape.

In Sirocco's eyes, the time it took for the knife to stab him was extremely long.

Oh dear, I underestimated him a bit.

Even under these circumstances, Norris's psychological defenses remained intact, and he was still able to generate antagonistic emotions.
