Meeting her

The library building was very large, large enough to house more than 5,00,0000 books and other documented information. With its intricate architectural designs and craftsmanship, this was easily one of the best-looking buildings out there. It was an architectural marvel.

"Never gets old." He simply stood there feasting his eyes while all the other people were either dying or fighting.

[Huh, princess, if you wait long enough then there might be a chance that you can register this as your last view.]

'Right. Let's find that little witch.' He cracked his knuckles and started to speed up.

On the way, many wolfs tried to attack him, but the blade that was swirling around him silenced them forever. They didn't even have any time to retort against it as the blade just simply plunged through their bodies without much resistance. It was simple and faster. All thanks to the professors and other named heroes as they were keeping the higher ranked wolfs at bay.

He arrived at the library shortly after.

"Huuu…. Huuuu…" He was holding his knees and breathing heavily as he used his full stamina to arrive in the vicinity. Various battle sound could be heard. Loudly. Louder than the other ones that were happening on the other side of the academy.

He took a stamina potion from his inventory and chugged it. Then he took a mana potion and chugged it, too.

[Whoa princess, just because you have some of those potions doesn't mean you've an unlimited amount of that. You 'will' need that for the future scenarios. Save it while you've it.]

'I need it as the enemy that she is facing is that much of a threat. I was barely alive after fighting him. I want to fight him when I'm at my best.'

[Hey, isn't it the other way? You know, the enemy must be at his best when a hero defeats him.]

'…'

'… You've watched so many propaganda films. They are quite shit. Don't watch them.'

[I got that from your memory.]

'…'

Desmond walked a little bit and suddenly hid behind a small bush as he has spotted his target.

There, on the open field, a jade beauty was fighting an impossible battle against a masked man. He wasn't like any other member of the gang. His all aura was different. His mask had a red scar across it, showing his rank is higher than any of the other members. He wielded a chain in his hand. Swinging both the ends without any effort. On the other hand, the jade beauty who had dark blue hair and blue eye was struggling to hold her ground against the chain bearer. Her dark blue hair danced all around with her movements. Her eyes critically tracking the wolf for any opening or flaws. Her magic wand casting spells for defence and as well as offence, simultaneously.

She wasn't alone on the battlefield. There were 5 more students on the battlefield. On the ground, of course. Except for the blond boy, who was barely standing on his own. He looked like he was recovering.

'Ugh… how annoying.'

[Whoa, who do we have here? Isn't he your love rival? Look at him, getting back after beating up for helping his crush. Youths are the best. How lovely dovey.]

'Ugh… Would you shut up? I'm about to throw up.'

[Whoa… somebody is jealous]

'He can hog her for all I care. I don't fucking care at all. I wouldn't be even here if I had a choice at all.'

[But you do have a choice]

'What? To again be killed by that monster fucker.'

[…]

[…Yes.]

'…Fuck you.'

The battle was… not actually a fight. It was more like an entertainment for the wolf.

"Yes, just like that. You're improving at a monstrous fast. Which is actually… scary." He swung his chain to the incoming ice shard, which broke off immediately. He suddenly leapt into the air as a large ice spike suddenly drilled towards him from the ground. "Whoa, improvising. I like that," He used the other end of the chain to destroy the ice spike easily. Even before he could land, several small ice shards flew towards him. He simply swirled one end of the chain, very fastly that the ice shards just disintegrated at contact. "Nice. Very nice. What else can you show me?" The wolf hungrily looked at her.

"Huuu… Haaa…" She was breathing heavily. She took a bottle of mana potion from her storage ring. Storage ring, like its name suggests, was simply a ring which has a dimensional space inside, it store inorganic matters in it. Of course, it was made up of magic.

She chugged the potion fully and wiped her mouth.

'That was my last potion.' She clenched her wand tightly.

"How long can you drink that potion? It's expensive. You will run out of it. Not to mention you'll be intoxicated because of the over usage of the potion. You'll die before I kill you. So, not to waste your talent, why don't you join our cause?" He extends his hands as a sign of welcome.

Recovered, she just smiled at him. "I'm here to learn how to protect the humanity… from scums like you." Her blue eyes raging with resolution.

"Ho… How pity. How pity… you've got to die here without fulfilling your dreams, little one." He once again swirled his chain, this time fire started to engulf the chains. Like the chain was forged from the depths of hells.

*Gulp*

She gulped as she was able to sense the amount of power the chain was emitting.

"Run away. I'll hold him." She looked back at the kids on the ground.

"Yeah, you guys should run while we hold him." The annoying blond kid stood up and raised his sword against the wolf.

"Are you—"

"I'm all right, my lady. I've recovered enough."

"I see. You know what we are up against, right?" She looked at the blonde.

"Yeah. It doesn't matter anyway. Whether we die here or by some miracle we're saved, we at least had our hero time." He resolutely looked at her.

She nodded, smilingly.

"We- we also want to join you guys."

"That's right, we're also here to be heroes and not to be some bunch of cowards."

"We'll die with you or… I'll buy you all a milkshake."

The four on the ground suddenly stood up, despite their injuries, they refused to be down as the future heroes who must protect the innocents; they refused to give up without a fight.

"Well, you better hold on to that offer or else I'll wham you myself." They all chuckled and took their battle stance.

"You guys ready? I'm getting bored here." The wolf said while yawning, looking at the bunch of soon-to-be dead kids' last funny moments. He was at least giving them their heroic time together without interrupting it.

[How fucking heroic.]

'How fucking cringe.'

[You're just jealous. I'm getting imaginary goosebumps hearing the future heroes. How marvellous! Why the 'fuck' am I tied down with this floor dust while the other diamonds are useful than this… this… fucker?]

'… I'm so disappointed in you, stupid system. Your tastes in people are downright like drainage waste water. Look at you fawning over some kids with 8th grade syndrome. So disappointing.' He shook his head.

[…You're just jealous that you can't do heroic stuff like that.]

'… Watch carefully, stupid. Your heroes are about to be dead.'

Both sides of the battlefield were getting ready for the final showdown. Either the young heroes die or they emerge victorious, defeating the hidden evil wolf boss.

Is what I want to say but… we already know the outcome. Our trashy hero and his stupid system are waiting for the right time to save the day…
