I Accidentally Became a Legend!

"Yuri, there's going to be a track meet next month and I need you to participate."

"Ehhhhh..."

I was currently once again corned by Akane Tanaka on the rooftop.

Yeah, in the game and in real life, roofs are my sanctuary.

But this girl….I swear, she gets on my nerves. But for now I'll do as she says, I've got nothing to lose after all and it's actually entertaining.

"The Fall Track Meet right? Okay, just send me the details and I'll go." I crisply stated while polishing up the rest of my sandwich.

In case you were wondering, my real lunch was already trashed by some certain people earlier, but I always kept a reserve sandwich just in case.

Watching me eat my lunch with a slightly tilted head, Akane inquired in confusion.

"Hey you know, why do you like being bullied? I can tell that you can easily overwhelm those brats while fighting."

Copying her movement, I also tilted my head to the side.

"Oh my, I will answer that question…..maybe once I feel like telling you?"

Having her expectations crushed, she pouted in frustration and left the rooftop in a sulking manner.

Pffffft, although she's annoying, it's very refreshing teasing her like this. I suppose it's made school life just a tad more enjoyable than before.

Also, everyone seemed to be so excited about new students that I was completely ignored today, except for my lunch, no bullying! Have they all finally forgotten about me? That would be nice I suppose.

While enjoying the view of the large school field, the ringing of the school bell soon ruined my peace and signaled the start of another period.

Welp, let's head on down!

Bad news…..looks like my first suspicion was correct and Eugene was going to transfer next Monday.

But worse, apparently, another girl will also be transferring at the same time. Hopefully, I won't have anything to do with her…..

Alright, let's just forget about this, for now, I can't do anything about it anyways. I'll aim to level up my mask these two days!

Walking into the empty house, I decided to head straight into the game.

Reappearing in the tree that I had logged off in, I went around my usual route to look for violent players that seemed to be causing trouble.

After all, I still have a conscience to not kill innocent players who are trying to simply enjoy grinding mobs.

While hunting for PK players, my mind wandered back to what Toku had said this morning.

So one of my brothers has finally decided to dip their feet into romance. How interesting! Especially if it's Toku, his girlfriend must be a really entertaining girl, to even catch the attention of my little brother. While still stuck in my thoughts, I heard a shout ring out.

"Hey! We're just trying to grind some monsters, leave us alone!"

"In your dreams you brat, if you want to grind you better way us a fee! This is our property."

Oh? I hear some players nearby! Let's head on over.

Making sure my hood and gloves were equipped, I stealthily made my way over to the shouting.

In the small clearing, there was a party of three surrounded by a large group of ten men.

Hm? I'm getting a sudden sense of deja vu. But I can't really just jump right in without a reason, I'll see what happens.

"Hey don't worry! Just one gold coin for each of ya and we'll let you go without dying!" The largest man said while wolfishly grinning from ear to ear. "We promise!"

The sense of deja vu I'm getting is overflowing my mind. I don't think I can take it anymore….at any rate, might as well clean this up. The victims are obvious in this situation, it's impossible to buy land in this forest anyways.

Quietly landing back on the ground, I circled around to the blind spot of the group's leader and nocked three arrows on my bow.

Flying true to my aim, all three arrows reached their target, the eyes of three unsuspecting men who were standing behind the party of three.

In the face of my overwhelming stats, they were all instantly killed, turning to white particles before disappearing.

Three down, seven to go.

Quickly dashing out before they had a chance to react, I stabbed another one in the heart and the man standing next to him with my dual daggers. With half of them already dead, the leader quickly snapped to his senses and charged at me with his ax above his head.

Ohhhh, not a bad quality ax!

Somersaulting out of his range, I took out my throwing knives and flung three towards him.

Ah, I missed one, looks like I need to work on my knife throwing.

One knife missed the target while another one was blocked.

Tch, in the end, only one hit him huh. But that's fine, it was enough to distract him for a bit.

Nocking another arrow with insane speed, I aimed for his right eye and fired. Only for it to be blocked by another man sacrificing himself.

Ugh....really? If you want to die that badly, wait your turn. But whatever, four left.

Instinctively sidestepping to avoid a swing of a sword, and then leaping back to dodge an arrow that was shot, I soon found myself cornered in front of a tree.

Seeing this, the leader stopped his subordinates and walked up to me with a sneer.

"You, you're pretty good huh, little boy? But not good enough."

? But I'm not even hurt…..well, if they're going to stop attacking me, I might as well take this chance to kill a few of them. Never let your guard down~!

Ignoring the leader, I nocked my bow once again with fluent motions and killed their archer that had me pinned down.

Pushing off of the tree behind me, I leaped over the man and stabbed both my knives into the swordsman while kicking the other hard in the stomach, which sent him flying promptly into a tree.

The level difference in this game is amazing.

Alright! Only the big guy left.

Turning around, I saw the edge of the ax zooming at my face.

Whoops, I let my guard down.

Just barely managing to block it with both knives, both the leader and I were at a 'stalemate'.

Or so he thought.

"Boy, you really are something. With that glove and cloak….you must be the rumored 'Humming Slayer' that's killing a lot of PKers right?" He questioned while warily watching me. "Hey, why not let me go and we can kill that party of three together! You like killing people, so I can have their loot right?"

…

Does this guy take me for some psychopath? No, I do not particularly enjoy killing innocents at all!

"Big guy, you got your facts mistaken. I'm not some crazy serial killer, I'm just doing this for a quest of mine." I said while tensing my muscles and then leaping backward. "In fact, I'd rather enjoy my time drinking tea instead."

Having my say, I dashed towards him again and kicked his wrist while pinning his ax down with my other foot. With his weapon now dropped, I leisurely took out my pitch-black knife and stabbed it mercilessly into his skull three times to finish him off.

"And....there goes the last one." I stated while picking up the ax that was registered as 'loot'.

I'll sell this at the auction house later.

Turning around to check that the beginner party was okay, I was greeted by three looks of praise.

….?

"M-mister Lynx! Thank you so much for saving us!" One of them shouted while bowing deeply. "W-we don't have anything to give as thanks, but we promise to spread the word of how kind you are, sir!"

????

Huh? Now that I think about it, people keep thinking I'm a guy…..is it because of the cloak? I suppose it does have the ability to block my identity really well.

"Eh, no problem. As I said before, I'm just doing this for a quest, no need for thanks." I responded while shrugging my shoulder. "Anyways, I'll be going now, have fun."

Leaping back into a tree, I left the clearing and keep hunting for more PKers to add to my points.
