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

Page 21

But at least you've learned how to defeat a slime, right?!

"Sorry... I have a bad memory, so I have to come here to get some extra help."

Maintaining a humble attitude, Sirocco prepared to leave.

Suddenly, Norius pointed at Sirocco.

Looking closely in the direction of his finger, it was clear he wasn't pointing at Sirocco.

"What's that? Your cute little follower behind you?"

Her emerald eyes, outlined with soft lines like jewels, and her slightly round, fair face were striking. The most eye-catching feature was her golden twin ponytails.

Hill Darth Vay

Sirocco's sister.

"Shouldn't you apologize if you bump into someone? You're supposed to be an explorer, and you don't even know how to do this? What kind of upbringing did your parents give you?"

Although somewhat naive, Hill offered a normal person's rebuttal.

"Ah?"

Norris's face darkened.

Oops.

What are you doing here, Hill?! — Before that thought even crossed his mind, Sirocco was more worried about Hill's safety.

Sirocco's face darkened.

I'm glad my good sister spoke up for Sirocco, but...

Damn! Don't you know it's dangerous for a beautiful girl to expose herself to a blond guy?!

Sirocco could already guess what Norius would say next; it would definitely be something like "Play with me."

"Wow~ You're so cute, little girl! What's your name?"

Look!

After looking Hill over, Norius's eyes immediately became playful.

Hill turned his face away.

"My mother always said not to disclose personal information to strangers."

Well done! Thank you, Mom!

Surprisingly, Hill's reaction was quite good.

"Hahaha... Sorry, my sister said something bad. I have to go now."

Sirocco took Hill's hand and prepared to slip away.

"Wait, brother! He hasn't apologized to you yet!"

Aaaaaaahh ...

"So she's your sister. No wonder she's so cute, even if she's a little less adorable than you."

Norris laughed even harder.

I am now 100% certain that this blond-haired Norris has his eye on Hill.

In the original storyline, this guy was the one who fed Brid the drugs. Now that he's got his eye on Hill, it's unimaginable what he might do.

Now that things have come to this...

We have no choice but to get rid of this guy beforehand.

"Hey, come with me for a walk, I know a few... fun places."

!!!

A chilling, terrifying shiver ran through Sirocco's entire body, especially at such close range; his aura struck every joint of his body like a hammer blow.

The opponent uses the skill: [Intimidation]

"Brother, what happened to you?! You're bleeding so much."

Sirocco trembled all over, and blood suddenly started flowing from his nose. Hill, who was standing next to him, took out a tissue to wipe it away for him.

Fear causes the body's senses to misjudge, resulting in bleeding even without any external injury.

Norius remained calm, but his eyes showed a hint of doubt.

They were puzzled as to how Sirocco could still stand there as if nothing had happened.

"Thank you, I'm fine."

Sirocco chuckled and tapped Hill's nose with his fingertip.

Norius, you bastard! This little thing might scare my body, but it won't scare my mind.

Top left corner, side of the doorway, top of the bookshelf, side of the escape route...

Shiloh confirmed that the cameras were working properly and that those who were reading were still reading.

Hill looked at him with a worried expression.

Sure enough, although Norius was a petty thug, he only used his skills on me. He still understood the basic principle of not attracting attention when doing bad things.

"How's your decision? Good things don't wait for anyone!"

Norris chuckled, prompting Hill to immediately retort, "You with that middle-part hair! Didn't you see your brother's injured?! Who wants to be with you...?"

Sirocco stopped Hill, then said expressionlessly, "Noris Newlerman."

"Hey, you piece of trash, don't just say my full name like that."

Norius unconsciously increased the intimidating potential energy of his threat.

Sirocco's nose started bleeding again. His eyes remained calm and unwavering as he spoke slowly:

"16 years old, both parents are retired explorers, he has three older brothers and is the fourth in the family, and even his explorer ability is ranked fourth."

"You guy."

Norris's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Who told you all this?!"

Sirocco, with a nosebleed streaming down his face, continued his rambling:

"Your talent is [Mana Self-Regeneration], which is why you can activate [Intimidation] for such a long time."

However, your abilities are far inferior to your brothers', and your parents are always comparing you to them. All you can do is smile and be polite; there's nothing else you can do.

"Shut up," Norius warned.

“Even if you follow Cliff, nobody in the group will take you seriously.”

Sirocco remained unmoved, while Hill, standing to the side, was stunned.

"【Mana Self-Regeneration】sounds good, but the problem is the regeneration speed is too slow. In that time, your teammates could use skills to blast the monster to death, so what's the point of having you?"

So you're just a menial member in the group, and you probably feel superfluous, right? You've been trying to please your leader, but he probably looks down on you, since you're not capable enough.

Ha, who exactly is the weakling...?

With bloodshot eyes, Norius silently unleashed a powerful punch.

The sound of a hard object striking another hard object sent Sirocco flying.

"elder brother!"

Waaah... Am I trapped in the cycle of Izanami? Even though it was my own fault, how come I still got beaten up again?

Sirocco crashed into two bookshelves before stopping, startling people from their seats and leaving a mess of scattered books.

Hill rushed to Sirocco's side and helped him up.

"you....!!"

Hill glared at Norius, then quickly turned his attention back to Sirocco.

"Brother, what... what should we do? Hill, call an ambulance right away."

Sirocco pretended to clutch his stomach in pain, while simultaneously using his eyes to stop Hill.

"Sirocco, right? You're just a nobody from Class F. I'll remember you. I'm going to beat your innocent face so badly that even your own mother wouldn't recognize you. You'll be spending the rest of the semester in the hospital."

"I don't want my name to be remembered by random people. Ha, if you can't win an argument, you'll resort to violence. You're the monkey."

Norius's veins bulged: "Lv2, what are you so arrogant about?!"

Norius, his fist enveloped in deep green magic, slowly approached.

If he were to take that hit, Sirocco felt that not only would he be hospitalized, but even getting to the hospital would be a problem.

Do villains all like to walk like cats? I'm already down and you're still slowly walking over to finish me off, thank you!

Just as Sirocco was lost in thought, a figure blocked his way.

Hill.

She spread her arms to block Sirocco, her body radiating a pale golden magical aura, making her shine like a goddess of salvation.
