4 Chapter 4

Lately, Yumi became more and more busy, she inevitably gain her own fan base inside our school. Trouble some people appears too, they learned that me and Yumi are actually brother and sister. Most of them tried to befriend me but, because I'm an intellectual human being, I refuse them with the smartest way possible.

"If you approach my sister anymore than this I will give you AIDS myself"

Good thing that they're reasonable people so they decided to stay away from us. But that doesn't mean that they would stop admiring my sister's beauty from afar.

I'm currently watching Yumi in her lesson while Sidabras and Collette teach them. Both Sidabras and Collette became a competent person; they splendidly did their job despite teaching students that doesn't really far from their age.

"I always spot you watching here, don't you have some class to attend to?"

Someone asked me from behind, it's the supposedly instructor of our class, Richard. He doesn't recognize me since I rarely attend his class and even with that, I only stayed silent the whole lesson.

"Is that so? I'm just watching my little sister"

"Which one?"

"That one, the cute black haired , her eyes looks beautiful right? Look at her slender figures, although don't look too much or else you will be bewitched by her beauty"

"That's too detailed, pointing her would be enough"

Richard sat next to me, since those girls are in charge in this class; all he can do is watch.

"But you know, is having a high affinity towards magic is enough? I bet there's someone in your world that is powerful yet has a little affinity towards magic"

"Hmm… It true, but you know, you might not believe me since you're from this world but in our world, magic is like everything, the value of people will be decided on how much magic powers he have"

That's true, magic is everything in their world, but there's an exception like Collette, her affinity is normal but look at her, she became one of my companion even at such young age. Yumi and her classmates formed in circle, similar to what knights do when they're having a sparring.

"I can't see it"

"Then let's take a closer look"

"It's fine?"

"We're just looking, that's all"

After being persuaded by Richard, I follow him as he approach the students, the students are busy looking inside the circle, I want to see it too.

"Those who wants to fight, enter the circle, since we're having lesson about martial art, you can't use magic"

I see… They're doing this in an old fashioned way. Basically, it's an old way of sparring, if you enter the circle, which means that you're ready, if two people finally enters the circle, they will start the fight. It's quite popular especially from knights since they can settle their dispute without their superiors meddling.

"Who's going to fight?"

I tried to peek while standing on my toes.

"Ah"

Someone pushed me, and when I looked back, its Collette smiling broadly at me. I don't know if it's bad luck or a curse but as I enter the circle, a person enter the circle as well. It's Setsuya, the normal looking guy that's originally from my class.

"S-sorry, I tripped myself in~"

I tried to play dumb and escape but Setsuya stopped me by saying "Since you're here, it would be a waste if we don't fight" What are you saying? It's not a waste, in fact I should not be here in the first place.

"You see, I'm not a Potential Hero so it will be only one sided fight"

"But we're having a sparring without the usage of magic, being a Potential Hero is not related to this"

Why are you so eager to fight me!? You idiot! Did I do something to you in the past? Did I offend you in some ways?

"B-but, I don't really like violence…"

It will be troublesome if I fight here.

"Where's the harm? It's not like you're going to die anyway"

Why, why are you doing this? From the normal point of view, this thing should not be permitted, why you can't let me out already.

"Fight begins!"

Saying that, Setsuya didn't waste a second and starts to throw his fist into me, I evaded it and run away from him. Can't you see that I have no will to fight!? I get the feeling that you just want to show off!

"Yaa!"

He throws a straight punch, I evaded it again. That's right! There's no need to fight! I could just run away! Glance… The stare that I'm receiving from Sidabras and Collette… They're expecting from me! They're expecting me to win! Guh! What I'm supposed to do…

As I contemplate, I feel a hit from my chest, it's weak… When I looked at Setsuya, who punched me when I'm not moving around, he's smiling triumphantly.

And when I looked at Collette and Sidabras, they're looking with worried gaze, that's the same with Yumi, if I win the battle, it will cause uproar since I defeated a Potential Hero and it would tarnish Setsuya's image and pride. But if I loss, people would perceive it as normal but in return, my image as an older brother will be damage because Sidabras, Collette and Yumi are expecting me to win…

I'm really sorry Setsuya, I'll definitely choose my sisters than you… Don't take this personally okay?

*

What should I do? Yumi thought. Kyoro, her big brother accidentally enters the circle, she thought that he will quickly leave but that guy, Setsuya wouldn't let him.

He wants to show off, he's only lucky because he happens to have an affinity towards magic.

That guy Setsuya, although he looks normal at first, he's actually a narcissist. It's not like Yumi hates over confidence person, what she dislikes is being prideful yet have no skills or whatsoever.

Setsuya selfishly declared to start the fight and starts attacking Kyoro one-sidedly. Kyoro somehow evaded him and starts distancing himself. Kyoro keeps running, that's to be expected , although Kyoro is a genius, he didn't have any fighting experience.

Yumi always tracked his activity, never even once, have he participated in any combat oriented activities. What should I do? Shouldn't she be happy seeing her big brother finally doing something that he's bad in?

The answer is yes and no, yes because she knows that even her big brother have something he's bad at and no, because she don't want her big brother to get physically injure in this worthless fight.

Soon enough, his brother get hit. It's a punch that Setsuya threw with all is might yet… There's no reaction, Kyoro have no reaction.

But even so, Yumi became stiff, she became worried that her big brother would suffer damage. When she's about to enter the circle, Kyoro execute a spinning back kick, his ankle connect with the jaw of Setsuya.

Setsuya became stunned and hold his jaw with his left hand, and then, taking that chance, Kyoro didn't stop spinning but instead jump, and perform a butterfly kick. It splendidly hit the cranium of the daze Setsuya, he fell on the ground without even realizing that he lost.

After Kyoro landed, he looked at Sidabras and Collette while showing a refreshing smile, he looks proud at what he done.

W-where did Kyoro-nii learn this? She thought.

If her big brother just did this on reflex without even training martial arts, then he's beyond genius. Although relieved that her big brother didn't get injured and won the fight, she's also anxious. The figure that she's chasing is walking further more.

Kyoro understood that the fight is finally over so he runs quickly to escape the place. As usual, he doesn't care about the greatness of achievements… If this continues, even with her talent in magic, she wouldn't catch up to him.

She enters the circle, a person follows her after. If she can't overwhelm her opponent right here right now, then there's no way in a million chances that she can't catch up to her big brother.

Yumi gripped her fist. I will catch up to you.

*

After the fight with Setsuya, I quickly dash; I don't want to deal with something troublesome. Collette and Sidabras have smiles that saying "That's normal" I don't mind Sidabras but Collette, you're the one whose fault here right?

The two looks happy but when I took a fleeting glance at Yumi, he's looking at me with extreme anxiety even though I win… But before the fight she's worried for me—wait. But what if, the one she's looking worriedly is not me, but Setsuya?

And when I defeated him, Yumi's face turned grim… Maybe, just maybe but, what if, she's in love with Setsuya and she's worried about him not me? N-no way right? That's right, if she does somehow have a relationship with that boy, then she would surely tell me right?

Now I'm the one who's anxious… But I should get used to this feeling. It's inevitable that they will find their man who can make them happy, it's not just Yumi, but all of the girls as well. If I get dishearten every time they love a man, I will be insane for sure.

"Nii…"

"Oni… Kyoro!"

While walking, Sidabras and Collette finally caught up with me.

"Collette"

Collette didn't expect that I will grab her cheeks; so she's expressionless when I pinch her cheeks.

"Kylo! Ish hurs!"

"You deserve this, this is for pushing me to that useless problem"

"I'm showyw!"

This continue for minute until I became satisfied, although she's taller and older than me now, I still have the occupation called Onii-chan, one of its perk is complete domination in all kinds of sister type enemy regardless of its age.

Her eyes became moist as she looked at me in contempt, I don't care, you deserve it. I smiled faintly while looking at this scene, just like in the old days. Sidabras came near me and starts to hug me from my waist.

I pat her head and sm—ah! I'm starting to treat them as a child again! They're no longer child, just like how Yumi didn't want me to dote on her. I stopped my hand; Sidabras looked clearly disappointed when she sees that.

Gunununu, maybe I will pat you this time, but only this time okay? If they want me to spoil them, then I will, and if not, then I will…Not. Just thinking about it makes me sick, it's like I'm feeling a withdrawal symptoms or something.

"Nii, who's that Yumi? She had a same last name as you?"

"Yumi? That' my little sister, did I tell you that I have a little sister?"

Both Sidabras and Collette face darken hearing my reply, come to think of it, I already told them about my sister. I can't help but to tell how adorable she was even to these girls, but for some reason, they're always getting mad at me every time we talked about that topic.

I can't help to think that they're jealous towards Yumi.

"She's cute in personal right? If I'm correct, if Phyrine is 14 now right? Then Yumi and Phyrine are the same age"

"....."

"....."

"Man, then that means, Phyrine is the same age as Collette when I departed! Speaking of Collette, do you have any boyfriend yet? Aw!"

Sidabras suddenly bit my hand! She bit me! I tried to get some distance but Collette is already behind my back, she hugged me from behind with all of her strength. This is bad, not only I am allergic to big boobs, Collette can wield great sword like it's a dagger. I will break all of my bones if this continues.

On the other hand, Sidabras starts to nibble on my fingers, it's not painful like earlier, it's like she's just giving me a light bite to leave a small marks on my finger. What's this! The only good thing that's happening to me right now is that, there are no students here.

If we we're caught in this situation, it will definitely cause a huge problem. In terms of pure physical strength, I am no match for Collette, so I can't break free with only pure power.

What to do, I move my saliva filled hand and grabs the finger of Collette, I forcefully pulled out her middle finger and fortunately, her hand follows next.

Since I was hugged from behind, I can't move my arms that much but the space that I created earlier by pulling her finger is enough for me to crouch and roll from the side.

"Why are you doing this?!"

"Nii… You're dense when it comes to this so…"

"Physical pain is the only way for you to learn"

"I didn't even do anything!"

"See…"

"You didn't even notice it"

I run with all my might leaving Sidabras and Collette dumbfounded.

I don't know what they're after but I'm sure that I'll get hurt, I don't like pain. In our party, I'm the second fastest runner, so as long as Sidabras and Collette don't use any enhancement magic, I'm sure that I'm not going to be caught… But…

"Collette, tackle him…"

"You don't have to tell me"

Of course they would use enhancement magic, our god in this world is a twisted one so of course they would. Collette immediately pursued me, she's running while Sidabras is flying high speed. Collette tried to grab my shoulder but I brush her hand off.

If I can use some buff that would be great, if I only spent my time wisely and learn different kind of magic instead of focusing on elemental magic only…

"[Hefig Gravis]"

Sidabras used a curse, my body starts to move sluggishly and heavy, it's like I have weights connected to each of my joints. Curses are dangerous but easy to repel, all you have to do is wear a talisman and it will not affect you anymore, then again, our god in this world is a twisted one so I don't have any talisman with me now.

Noticing my dawdling, Collette quickly grabs my hand. She succeeds but I twisted my wrist to break free. I'm not going to loss without a fight. Now Collette is on her fighting stance, she's resorting violence now.

Collette throws a one two combination, good thing she's aiming at my head so I just bob my head left and right to evade her punch. She then execute a round house kick, I quickly sweep her left foot when she raised her right foot.

Oh crap! I forgot to hold back! I can't forgive myself if she sustains damage from this!

As Collette loss her balance, I hurriedly use my forearm to cushion her head from falling, we both fell into the ground.

"S-sorry, I've gone too far"

I said, Collette just stares at me without even talking. Because we're too close to each other, the fragrant of her perfume tickles my nose, it smell sweet. She's still dumbfounded as I held her in my arms.

"Pff Hahahaha, w-what are those looks? Don't be surprise that I can still beat you even if you put curse on me, I have Onii-chan as an occupation, it is stronger than any swordsman or heroes that you've summoned"

"You're too arrogant!"

Collette repeatedly slams her hand on my chest, it doesn't hurt at all.

"Let me join…"

Feeling lonely, Sidabras took out my other arm and use it as a pillow. While enjoying this moment, I look up to the sky, the wide blue view that has some white clouds on it.

Well, four years has passed and they still haven't change huh? So it means that I don't have to worry about them getting married anytime soon…

That's right, I can just worry about it when it comes, I'm sure the girls will find a proper man since I properly disciplined them….

"It will be troublesome if people find us like this right?"

"No worry Nii, I use illusion magic, we can stay here until the night comes"

"Let's not do that alright?"

My forearms will surely hurt if that happens.

"Why did we end up in this situation again? Why are we playing chase again?"

"…I can't remember"

"Beats me"

I can't remember… Well there's no use thinking about it. We decided to get home when we noticed that it's already daybreak, we had so much fun that we didn't realize the time, and just as I predicted, my forearms hurt like hell when I return home.
