Just Because I Have Narrow Eyes Doesn’t Make Me a Villain! - Chapter 64
Siwoo suddenly felt his consciousness fading.
“What, what are we going to do...?!”
“We have no choice but to stop it.”
“Are, are you crazy?! You want us to stop that thing on our own?! We should have called the teachers!”
Dorothy started scolding me.
Realizing it was too late to run away, her face turned pale.
“That’s why I told you to run.”
“Who would actually run away when you tell them to?! Be, besides, I didn’t expect something like this!”
“And if it’s the teachers, they’ll be here soon.”
“What?”
Siwoo looked at the academy’s main building, which had turned into a mess.
They could easily guess where the threatening villains were without even thinking about it.
“Since they caused such a disturbance, someone will come here soon. We just need to hold out.”
There was no need to go find the teachers.
With this level of destruction, someone coming here to help would be faster than them going to get the teachers and bringing them.
“You’re saying something interesting. Those people are probably strong, but can you hold out until they arrive?”
“...Who knows. It’ll be tough.”
“But you still came here? What’s your intention?”
Objectively speaking, immediately running away now would be a much more rational choice than fighting.
Judging from their appearance, they likely invaded the academy with some purpose in mind, and based on their relaxed demeanor, they have nearly succeeded or already succeeded.
‘Seeing the dog-eared women moving with purpose, that’s probably correct, right?’
In that case, even if he tried to stop them in this situation, it would be meaningless.
He was struggling after taking the attack scattered like confetti while defending Dorothy.
When an invisible attack came flying, he was the only one able to block them.@@@@
From the beginning, the best move would have been not to come here and protect himself.
But Siwoo would never choose that option.
“That’s simple. I came to stop you.”
“I don’t get it.”
“I thought you would be smarter.”
He spoke to her, who was looking at me with a questioning gaze.
“Could someone who runs away in front of a villain become a hero? Idiot.”
“... You’re just a kid drunk on hero mentality. Well, this is the academy, after all.”
“You can think that way if you want. I’ve decided not to run away in a situation like this.”
Just like how Amelia did back then.
At that time, in those mountains, she made an irrational decision.
The rational judgment would have been to run away using that ability and alert others of the danger.
Instead, she fought against the villain, saying she couldn’t abandon her friend.
In a way, that could be seen as an irrational action.
But heroes can’t always act rationally. He realized that after seeing Amelia.
To protect.
He decided to act without hesitation when an irrational decision was needed.
So he decided he would somehow stall that villain’s advance.
Now was the time to make an irrational decision.
“Dorothy, since it’s come to this, help me a bit.”
“I have no choice. I’ll die if I don’t help.”
“Do you think help from a friend can stop me?”
“It will be enough.”
She refused.
“Dorothy, at this rate, I’m going to die. It’ll be better to use it and at least try something.”
The villain was still at ease. She must have judged that she could kill me at any time.
He could feel her gaze, watching to see what he would do.
... She’ll regret that judgment.
As if hearing his desperate plea, he felt the world spin.
Strength began overflowing through his entire body as if my whole body had recovered. He felt like he could do anything.
But the feeling of omnipotence was short-lived. Terrible pain pounded his entire body, making him realize he was in a dangerous situation.
“Huff, hah, haah...”
He couldn’t tell if his body was breaking down because he was abusing Dorothy’s ability or if his body was too tattered to continue.
Maybe it was both.
Every step he took was accompanied by intense pain, and it felt like time was passing slowly.
...I can’t endure any longer.
My body wouldn’t last long.
So, let’s give my all.
With that thought, his vision went black.
“You’re closing your eyes? There’s a limit to ignoring me...!”
...Did he close his eyes?
He didn’t remember doing that. They must have closed on their own.
But he doesn’t mind. Even if he can’t see, he can perceive.
He gradually lost sensation in his body and stopped smelling the thick scent of dirt and blood.
“...! I’ll... kill...!”
Finally, Siwoo could no longer hear the villain’s irritated voice, probably feeling he was ignoring her.
All sensation in his body vanished.
He couldn’t see, hear, smell, taste, or feel anything.
A feeling as if only he existed in the darkness.
Is this what death would be like?
He let out a sigh.
No, was it really a sigh? With his senses gone, he couldn’t be sure.
An ordinary person would feel extreme fear at this point.
With all five senses gone, they wouldn’t be able to move.
...But he had his Intuition.
Sixth sense.
The ability to perceive what humans cannot.
The ability to see what cannot be seen, hear what cannot be heard, feel what cannot be felt, and smell what cannot be smelled.
Relying on his ability, Siwoo took steps forward and suddenly realized numerous paths were laid out before him.
On many of those paths, Siwoo lay collapsed, bleeding all over from his body being torn by the wind.
But on a few paths, Siwoo survived. He decided to take those paths.
As he walked, another fork appeared before him.
...Again, most versions of Siwoo died, but a minority did not.
He decided to take the path where a version of Siwoo survived.
He repeated this dozens of times.
Before long, only two paths remained before Siwoo.
The path where his entire body is torn apart by the wind barrier the villain hastily set up, and the path where that doesn’t happen.
Siwoo walked the path where it didn’t happen and swung his sword.
He couldn’t feel any sensation. With his fading consciousness, Siwoo couldn’t be sure if he swung.
That was the end.
Siwoo’s consciousness went black, and the world turned completely dark.
