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

Page 39

Looking down at the crowd's reactions, Sirocco sat down with satisfaction.

Successfully isolated himself.

It won't bother the main characters, and no bored strangers will come knocking on our door in the future.

"...Ah, is it over...? Well then, after class...I'll show everyone around the school's training facilities...form your own teams..."

Pris took a sip of his energy drink and began the lesson.

--------

after class.

"what's your name?"

"Want to team up with me?"

The students discussed team formation in a cheerful atmosphere and left the classroom in an orderly manner, with Pris leading the way.

With a visitor's mindset, Sirocco tactfully followed at the back of the group.

Prince led his classmates on a tour of the facilities with a listless expression.

"The arena...besides being used for duels...can also be used to adjust intensity...and practice skills."

This is the site of Cliff's decisive battle with Cass.

It's much wider than it looks in the game, at least the size of two football fields. After all, some talents have a very large range, and a larger map makes it easier for these Lv superhumans to run.

"The infirmary...also the health clinic...has teachers with the 'Priest' profession stationed here. If you get injured in the dungeon or during training..."

Beren happened to be on duty, and Sirocco waved to her.

Beren turned her face away.

Huh? I thought our relationship had gotten better after what happened last time.

The person in the hospital bed suddenly pulled back the green blackout curtains.

It's Ain and the woman with glasses.

The two women's eyes fell on Sirocco. Ain broke out in a sweat and reflexively covered his mouth. The woman with glasses looked like she had seen a monster, and her legs went weak.

The discussion in the crowd suddenly stopped.

The only ones present who didn't know what was going on were Cass and his group.

There are information cocoons between different groups in the class. Cass, Brid, and Corcy, who are not so familiar with others, are unaware of the good deeds that Sirocco has done.

The three of them looked at each other.

"You two...are your periods better now?...?"

Priss seemed completely oblivious to the awkward atmosphere and asked in a lazy tone.

“Priss, be more discreet, especially in front of so many students.”

"Oh...sorry...."

Surprisingly, it was Belen who reminded him.

"Is the wound no longer painful? If it's uncomfortable, it's okay to rest a little longer."

Beren turned to the two healed wounded men, flashing a professional smile.

The two girls secretly glanced at Sirocco.

Sirocco looked out the window, touching the ends of his hair and muttering: "My hair is a bit dry after being dyed."

After confirming Sirocco's reaction, the two students returned to the group of visitors, and Priss led everyone away.

Sirocco glanced back at Beren one last time and found her glaring at him.

—I'm not here just to wipe your butt—

—Treating students is your essential job; don't shirk it—

The ring sent a message from Beren, and Sirocco replied quickly.

That's true. Suddenly causing trouble at her work, she must be very unhappy.

Suddenly, a clear and pure fragrance wafted over, and Cass moved closer to Sirocco.

...Cass, why do you smell so good?

"Sirocco, everyone's attitude is a bit strange."

When Sirocco saw Cass approaching, he retreated appropriately.

"This morning they said they were, uh, on their period. There were no sanitary napkins in the trash can, and the doctor didn't prescribe any medication. There were traces of residual magic in the room, though. What kind of menstruation requires skill treatment?"

That's impressive.

Although it's unclear why he knows so much about menstruation, his observational skills are certainly worthy of the protagonist's name.

"Cass, you know quite a lot, huh? Friend of women?"

"Huh? No, no! I just found it online... Sirocco, you're here pretty early today. What do you know about those two?"

"I don't know, I'm curious too."

After leading everyone on a tour, Priss stopped at the arena:

"Finally... I believe some people have already gone down into the dungeon... Next, a gatekeeper boss will be unlocked here... a simulated battle... Even if you are attacked... you will only feel... a strong sense of paralysis... you won't die..."

Please form small teams of 3 to 5 people...

Just then, the bell rang, and before we knew it, the second class had already ended.

"Oh...you guys choose...come here after you finish eating...."

Pris left—

The students' discussion immediately became heated, with everyone vying to find better teammates.

Commonly known as clinging to someone's coattails.

That makes sense, as this grouping will have a huge impact on interpersonal relationships, academic life, and the life of an explorer.

Kas and Brid are the main contenders because their levels are really high; you can't go wrong by choosing the ones with the best scores.

As expected, they both declined the invitation and remained the same trio of themselves with Corcy.

Sirocco never intended to form a team, nor was he particularly eager to experience campus life and feel "friendship," "effort," and "victory" with his companions.

After all, if things had gone according to the original storyline, it would have been around the time when the original owner confessed to Brid and became entangled with her, when Cass rushed over to warn her and even challenged her to a duel.

Taking this opportunity, the two's affection level soared, while he, the background character, dropped out of school and went offline, returning home to become a lazy bum. He lay around until the middle of the event, where his black-and-white photo appeared on the news.

The current situation is that I have a certain amount of strength and am not looked down upon or considered lowly, so I have survived the first turning point in my life.

Teaming up to kill monsters is safe and easy to gain points, but the experience gain efficiency is really not high.

For Sirocco, who is currently eager to level up quickly, multiplayer cooperation is not the first choice.

Sirocco felt like he was watching a zoo, observing his classmates bustling about, and a strange sense of satisfaction rose within him, as if "everyone else is working hard while I'm just lazing around and sleeping."

Cass declined invitations from two very cute girls.

Ok?

Cass looked in his direction, waved, and jogged over.

Sirocco wore a bitter expression, as if he had eaten a bitter herb.

With a sense of foreboding, Sirocco turned and left.

"Wait! Don't go."

Cass grabbed Sirocco's hand, making a loud noise that attracted the attention of some bystanders.

Because of Sirocco's easily misunderstood appearance, coupled with Cass's handsome looks, the composition presents a feeling of an ex seeking reconciliation.

Cass asked earnestly, his eyes full of anticipation, "Sirocco, would you like to team up with me?"

"Hahaha, I don't want to."

Sirocco flung Cass's hand away.

30. Cass Development Project

Want to team up with me?

He was chanting some kind of death curse.

Indeed, there is no better teammate than Cass.

The problem is, now is not the time.

In the original timeline, you wouldn't have come to me, and I shouldn't even exist here.

Sirocco regretted it; he should have left earlier instead of staying to watch the show.

"Why? I think if Sirocco joins, the team's strength will double."

"I don't want to challenge Cliff, so I decline."
