7.75 Their Story

[3] The Beginning of a Legend 3

Us.

Us.

Us.

My thoughts stopped due to the voice ringing in my head. Those words eventually converted everything in my head into anger.

I didn’t know what happened, but the battle was now in their favor.

Ten of my comrades sacrificed their lives in order to break the enemy base. But even so, we were being pushed back. One of our summoners tried to fight, but there were still numerous enemies.

Once the base was destroyed, the students of Arucia stopped defending and began to fight back.

And I couldn’t beat something like that. With my state like this, I couldn’t ever fight.

And at that moment, I learned something.

“Impossible? What’s that? Can you eat it?”

-Are you mad?

I called the G.o.d that I was contracted with. But the G.o.d seemed quite skeptical.

-No way you can beat them. The ones fighting right now are pretty d.a.m.n strong for their age. They probably can hold their own against newbie knights, actually. Plus, most of the guys that were in the castle are still fine? Most of our people are knocked out as well. And then there’s that black dude… haven’t seen him in several thousand years. The elemental burst, too, wasn’t something that I haven’t seen ever in my life? You guys did enough?

Right. We did enough. We’ve never seen three schools get into an alliance, and we’ve never seen just thirteen people break such an alliance.

But.

“You see, Loki. The thing about tricksters are.”

-Hm? What are you talking about.

Loki became confused when he heard his nickname, but I didn’t respond.

“Just shut up and listen. Tricksters are people who don’t give a d.a.m.n about the order of the world, or morality.”

A normie would not put his life on the line to peek at a woman’s baths. A normie would not stay up for days trying to find a way to get into the girl’s locker room. This would be a morally wrong thing to do, and it’s also something that would justify getting someone arrested.

“But these people don’t get the t.i.tle of a ‘trickster’ from doing that.”
