I Became a Genius Swordsman in the Pretty Girl Game

“If you are loyal to him, we can regain our lost affection!! Kill those intruders!” “Waaaaahhhh!!!”

The hunters who had disappeared after causing the worst accident of assaulting their colleagues suddenly appeared, and for those watching, it was a disaster.

“Damn… Is that guy ‘Iron-Blooded Faith’? How did he end up like this…?”

“There’s also Piljung-do, who never missed a shot…”

“Even the Corpse Maker, who was playing both sides between villains and heroes…”

“That’s Spark Maker…! It wasn’t that the entire Thrill Guild died in the dungeon… It was him who killed them?!”

All of these hunters were once promising and well-known in their own right.

Someone controlled the skeletons. Someone emitted electricity from their body. And yet another charged with a huge hammer in both hands.

They all looked haggard and abnormal, but their abilities seemed intact.

No, they seemed even more desperate, using their abilities without restraint, making them seem even more destructive.

But.

They were all just remnants of the pre-Utopia generation.

Kaaang!

Along with a sharp metallic sound, Yoo-ri’s shield began to absorb the onslaught of attacks like a black hole.

“Ugh! What is this! Why are the attacks being sucked in?”

“Agh! What, what is this! Can’t you see in front of you?!”

“Why are you attacking me! Attack those guys over there!”

The haphazard attacks of hundreds of people converging into a single point caused the attacks from the rear to pour down on the backs of the hunters in front of Yoo-ri’s shield instead of Utopia.

Kwang! Kwaang! Kwagagaak!

“Hmmph!”

In front of all those skill, Yoo-ri firmly planted her feet on the ground and expanded her mana-made shield to its maximum size.

She stood firm, successfully deflecting everyone’s attacks without letting any of them pass.

With just one provocation from Yoo-ri, nearly a third of their forces were eliminated.

But,

The nightmare had only just begun.

After the failure of their first attack, the hunters, who were about to launch their next assault, were confronted by a girl with silver hair charging at them like a tank.

“Haaaaa—Haaat!”

With a sharp scream, Alice’s sword tip, raised high, fell downward.

Kwaaaang!!

The heavy blade struck the ground, and the terrain within 100 meters in front of them cracked like a spiderweb.

“Hmmph!”

“Damn! What is this?!”

Those who were directly hit by the shockwave flew like bowling pins, crashing into walls and floors.

The hunters outside the range were also momentarily startled as the ground beneath their feet shook violently.

At that moment, they saw the afterimage of a bright red-haired girl.

“If I use Avatar of Fire, I can clean up this place in 3 seconds… But…”

A chilling voice echoed.

“Then, it would be too easy…”

Paaak!

Tududuk-tak! Tak!

Ppeok!

Kung!

Kwajik!

Kwajijik!

Like a wolf among sheep, Kang Do-hee ran amok.

Every time her bright red hair passed by, at least three hunters were knocked into the air.

After these two dealers broke through and disrupted the enemies’ formation,

It was time for the specials with their area-of-effect skills.

“Yeah, this should be enough.”

Ichika nodded and stretched out her hand.

Ssssuk—

Black shadows rose from beneath the hunters’ feet and climbed up their bodies.

“What, what is this, what is this?!”

“Ugh!”

“Ugh! I can’t… breathe!”

And from the rear, Shin Se-hee, who had been gathering mana, unleashed a brilliant display of fire in her first combat in a while.

“Hahaha, everyone hiding should come out now if you don’t want to burn to death.”

Flare!

The old wooden buildings in the slums caught fire from Se-hee’s flames, and the blaze spread, engulfing everything in its path.

“Run!”

“It’s a monster!”

“Who says so?!”

Thus, it took the Utopia party just about five minutes to devastate the battlefield.

It was a one-sided victory.

It was a so-called ‘bullying’ of the weak.

Taak!

After the battle was over, Se-hee snapped her fingers.

The Shin Family’s Royal Guard, who had been secretly protecting her, gathered around her.

“All the unconscious people here are wanted criminals, so please restrain them and transport them to the US Hunter’s Association. If they resist… Well, I think you know what to do.”

The Shin Family’s Royal Guard nodded crisply and scattered in all directions, carrying the fallen hunters like sacks.

Yoo-ri scratched her cheek, feeling embarrassed.

‘This is too easy. It’s not even a test.’

Even if there’s another purpose to this and it’s all staged, the state of the enemies they’re facing is just…

She glanced at the chat window that appeared on her wrist.

-Kyaaaahhhh!

-Unni, I’m dying! ;_;

-Crazy! This is what class is all about!

-Wow, so cool! So refreshing!

-Are you crazyyyyyyyyyy?!

-These guys were once our subordinates, but they’re no match for them!

-Yeah, and they don’t even kill them. If they’re about to die, Sophia shoots an arrow to heal them. This is… the privilege of the strong?

Despite her concern that someone might feel awkward about the one-sided victory, people cheered and praised Utopia.

As Yoo-ri stood there, embarrassed, she heard Shin Se-hee’s voice through her earphones.

[Hoo hoo, people love stories where heroes overcome crises and win dramatically, but they’re even more enthusiastic about seeing overwhelming power subdue enemies. The stronger we show ourselves, the safer people feel.]

[Well, and… These were wanted criminals with abilities. Perhaps the hunters who betrayed humanity after being on our side were more terrifying than the monsters that emerged from the Gate.]

Hmm. Is that so?

I’m not sure, but if she says so, then it must be true.

[Now, focus. Jin Yuha will be arriving here soon, so timing is crucial.]

At her words, the Utopia party members stiffened and nodded gravely.

.

.

.

‘What the hell is going on here…?’

Huff, huff…

After dropping off Charlotte’s son at the Academy, I headed straight to Zone 56.

Since the demon didn’t seem to be planning to escape, and Shin Se-hee had attached a tracking device to him, I took my time getting there.

But just as I arrived, I found out that the party members had already finished their individual missions and were about to start the Zone 56 raid.

[Shin Se-hee: Jin Yuha, it seems like our instructor wants to see how we fight in a real battle without you. So, we’re going to try to conquer Zone 56 on our own^^]

I immediately replied, asking them to wait a moment, but there was no response as they had already started the battle.

‘Damn, why is Zone 56 so far away from the space transfer device? America is just unnecessarily huge!’

Bang!

With each step, a fierce sound of breaking air echoed, and the surrounding landscapes stretched and receded behind me.

But thanks to my sprint, I was about to reach the area where the enemy was located.

Glance.

I could see the broken and burned buildings and the traces of captured hunters.

‘Time is… cutting it close. I have to get there before they encounter the enemy!’

The Demon of Jealousy, the Affectionate Demon.

Although it was just an event monster among the demons,

It possessed the ‘Demon Eyes’.

It was an event created by Velvet’s production team for those with ‘unique tastes’.

If you hadn’t prepared for status effects beforehand, no matter how much your stats differed, you would be affected 100% of the time.

In other words, just looking into the enemy’s eyes would cause you to be afflicted with the status effect ‘Affection’.

There was a real risk that the party members would blush and feel shy towards each other.

“Huff, huff! Why are you all so hasty! Just take care of the status effects first, I said! Didn’t you even read my text?!”

I bit my lip.

And…

Suddenly,

I became aware of my own feelings, which I hadn’t even realized before.

‘…Why am I so desperate to get there?’

Sure, this event was quite enjoyable.

The community members were all having fun with it.

Even if the party members developed affections for each other, it could be resolved with certain measures, and it was a light event that would naturally fade over time.

I had also been swept up in the excitement, laughing and taking screenshots of the event.

Yes, that’s how it was…

‘…But why don’t I want to see that?’

I didn’t want my party members’ attention and affection to be directed at anyone else, even for a moment.

To whom?

To anyone other than me.

Even if it was another party member.

I stood still, looking at the backs of my party members facing the demon, and muttered to myself without realizing it.

‘Am I… really just a piece of trash?’
