Comprehensive Manga: Starting from an Ordinary Career

I don't know when it started, and Shizuku stopped relying on the brilliance.

That kind of life went on for a long time, and Shizuku couldn't help feeling horrified at the thought of not being in the same class as Kaori when he was in the fourth grade.

If it weren't for Kaori by his side, Shizuku might have been discouraged and gave up on himself.

"You actually hate it.

fencing.

, but did not dare to stop practicing swordsmanship because he was afraid of betraying his family's expectations.

Painful because of the brilliance, but unable to push away the innocent childhood sweetheart... You are really indecisive and half-hearted."

"That kind of thing!"

When it was too late to realize that something was wrong, the phantom's white blade cut off gravity.

A moment of levitation and stagnation attacked Shizuku, and the phantom held the scabbard with its backhand and swung it horizontally.

"Breakthrough" is attached to the knife by the way

I saw the white magic ripples spread, and Shizuku showed a flaw in his flank without any defense.

As if the shock and pain were about to shake his consciousness, Shizuku flew out.

After bouncing a few times on the ground, she slid on the ground for a while... and finally stopped.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Blood spewed out of his mouth from a violent cough, and severe pain came from his ribs.

Two or three ribs must have been broken, and the internal organs were also slightly injured.

Chapter [*] Didn't you hear it?

Shizuku couldn't hold back her tears and nearly fainted, but she tried desperately to stay awake.

Shizuku could not immediately.

Standing up, a footstep came to Shizuku's side.

It was like a countdown to death, Shizuku's expression showed anxiety, and she struggled desperately to stand up.

Seeing Shizuku in pain, the corners of the phantom's mouth raised, revealing a demon-like smile, and said softly in Shizuku's ear in a gentle tone: "It doesn't matter if you don't stand up, as long as you give up, I will save your life.

You don't have to work hard and someone else will try to solve it.

All right, go to sleep in peace."

"say what......"

"It's just a simple choice. It depends on whether you want to give up, fall asleep like this, or don't give up, and die in pain."

The implication is that Phantom is proclaiming that Shizuku cannot beat her.

If Shizuku didn't give up, she would kill Shizuku mercilessly.

Then the phantom's face appeared "Nine Twenty Seven"

With a fearful smile in her heart, as if she wanted to prove what she said, she stretched out the white sword to Shizuku's eyes.

The evidence that it had slashed on Shizuku just now was attached to the blade, and it was the redness of life that was more vivid than the blood that fell on the white snow.

His own blood dripped from the tip of the knife, drop by drop, like life passing little by little.

Shizuku, who was squatting on the ground, gradually turned pale.

However, in the next instant, Shizuku glared at his own phantom.

Her limbs began to strain, and she didn't care, despite the blood spurting from the wound.

"Um..., Uh... ah ah ah!!"

"...Yes, I knew it.

If it were you, you would definitely stand up."

Phantom nodded, his eyes narrowed, and he swung down the white knife.

Shizuku shouted loudly and raised his black sword while kneeling on his knees.

At the same time one by one "fly" one by one "leave the sky"

! "

Using her ability to push enemies away, she pushed the phantom flying, trying to pull away.

The phantom flipped around in the air like a cat and landed gorgeously.

Shizuku on the side stood up slowly.

"Don't talk about it over there. I have been saying some inexplicable things since just now. I won't be fooled by that kind of psychological warfare."

"Psychological warfare, you just refuse to admit your feelings.

At this age, you are still so competitive, using your strength to shut up the people around you, always caring about others, and as a result: you can't even discover your true feelings... In fact, you want someone you can rely on Bar......"

"I told you to stop talking, didn't you hear me!"

Shizuku sprinted forward, not showing any trace of his usual calm and composure.

She didn't have any tactics, she just waved the knife indiscriminately, trying to silence the opponent.

The illusion created by the big labyrinth is the mirror of the challenger's heart.

If you don't face up to the feelings that you have dug up, the intensity of the phantom will increase infinitely.

Conversely, as long as you accept your own feelings, the phantom will gradually weaken... Shizuku's current state is the former.

So take it for granted, the power of the phantom is gradually increasing every minute.

For the current Mirage, Shizuku, who is in a state of disarray, her swordsmanship has become a child's play.

Phantom not only easily defused Shizuku and used a move, but counterattacked with his refined sword skills.

Because of the flank injury, visceral injury and blood loss, it has become: dull.

As a result, she suffered more injuries, and the injuries made her restless, and her movements were more sluggish.

It's a complete vicious cycle.

"When I came to this world, I was one, and my heart was full of unease.

Ishtar begs you to slay the daemons, and you are terrified at the bottom of your heart.

The night I killed a monster for the first time, I woke up and cried alone.

You feel that the feeling of being chopped on the flesh has not disappeared, and the blood on your body has never been washed away, so you hide several times, right?"

"drink!!"

Shizuku tried to shut up Mirage with shouts and slashes, but the act itself represented Shizuku's refusal to accept it.

It is precisely because they do not accept their own hearts that the gap in combat power widens even further.

Shizuku's attack was lightly blocked, and in its place was ushered in the sharp edge of words.

"When Hiyama-san fell into the abyss, if you weren't trying to comfort the frantic Kaori, the one who was crushed by the fear of death spread out in front of you must have been you.

You have been terrified of death and killing ever since you felt definite death that day."

"Um... ah!"

Phantom "Lei Hua"

It exploded, and the burst of electric shock made Shizuku's body numb and stiff for a moment.

Taking advantage of this gap, a white flash slid across Shizuku's neck, puff...! With a sound, blood splashed out.

The wound almost reached the carotid artery, but Shizuku was able to dodge it by accident, because her body was stiff and she lost her balance and slipped.

Thanks to this, Shizuku barely escaped the scythe of the god of death.

Shizuku held his neck with his hands, and blood continued to flow out of the gaps between his fingers.

Because the injury was on the neck, even if the carotid artery was not cut, the amount of bleeding was considerable.

A clear image of death appeared in front of him, and overwhelming fear and despair began to invade Shizuku's heart... The feelings that had been suppressed for a long time began to leak out, and the hand holding the black knife kept shaking.

Seeing Shizuku's reaction, Mirage continued to attack Shizuku with words.

Her voice was colder than ice, and she didn't even feel emotion.

No, that's the feeling that Shizuku doesn't want to be mentioned, and it's the death point of the current Shizuku.

That is a fatal sentence.

"You were very happy then"

"Eh"

When asked suddenly, Shizuku pressed his neck with his hands, and his face showed a dull expression.

"That's when... Hiyama-san came to rescue us.

You know what I'm talking about. It was the most dramatic moment in your life and I can't forget it."

"what are you saying......"

"That was an absolutely fatal crisis... no, you did give up at that point.

Give up all resistance and be ready to die.

Because of this, seeing that... red light, broad back: shoulder, the enemy is not the overwhelming force of the opponent at all, your heart will float to him."

"No, not..."

It felt as if she was talking about some fatal emotion that she absolutely did not want to admit, and could not admit, Shizuku wanted to deny it loudly in an instant.

But that kind of...weak denial, it's impossible to stop Mirage's own heart..."It was also when Kaori was killed.

If you are not conscious, I will tell you.

That was the first time you "asked for help" since you came to this world

other people.
