it's a game

[At the critical moment, what should you do? 】

A: Rush forward, try to persuade them and avoid conflict.

B: Go to the professor and ask him to stop the impending battle.

C: Pull out the staff, join the battle directly, and protect Arendt.

Looking at the options in front of you, you almost want to look like a stupid author.You continue to feel the malice of this cheating game towards the handicapped party, and those girls who say they like to see your handicapped, is it really okay to gloat so much? !Can we still play happily together? ! (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

You gritted your teeth angrily, but you still had to pull out your staff, unceremoniously cast a low-level spell instantly, and directly hit the feet of the black-robed student who was reciting a spell—you have never been so grateful for your spell so reliable.

Although you only demonstrated in a proper manner and did not hurt anyone, it is obvious that your appearance still quickly drew the hatred that originally fell on Arendt.

The three boys turned to look at you, and quickly, you became the focus of the three wands.

You: "Aarendt! Are you okay?!"

Boy A: "Oh, I thought who it was, it turned out to be Arendt's little follower, Edmund!"

Boy B: "Why, the dog leg came out to stand up for his master?"

Boy C: "You can only hide behind others and be protected by others. You are disgusted and repelled by the elements, and you don't know any magic. Why do you still have the face to stay in school, Arendt?!"

You looked bitterly at the gloomy face of Arendt who was clenching his teeth behind the three of them, and seemed to hear the sound effect that his blackening value was rising rapidly.You have to light a piece of wax for these three cannon fodder, and being hated by the future big boss or something, it probably won't be too far away from receiving a lunch box...

Of course, before that, you have to ensure that you don't take a box, because you have been quickly thrown into the battle screen by the game system.

You look at the three enemies opposite you who have almost the same stats as you, and you feel a little desperate!

1Vs3 or something, please forgive me for not being able to do it! QQ

The most suitable tactic for a black-robed mage is to fly a kite, which is the best against melee enemies. However, you are facing three long-range enemies like you now!Even if the AI ​​of the computer-controlled enemies is not high, it still can't stand up to the large number of them!You feel that you have almost used your hand speed beyond normal, and dodged several times of the enemy's onslaught by coquettishly moving, but you still suffered several heavy blows, and you have been hovering on the edge of residual blood.

Fortunately, you just replenished the medicines from the store - you are especially grateful for your precautions - and you can barely deal with the three of them, but it's a pity that the deal is a deal, but in the end it is still impossible to escape the fate of the street.

When at least one enemy was grinded to death and the second enemy was almost destroyed, you forgot to move and dodge because you were too greedy to make up the knife, and as a result, you were blasted to pieces by the third enemy.

You couldn't help but swear and slammed the keyboard angrily.

Professor: "Stop! You abused offensive magic in public areas, do you want to be demerited or even expelled from school?!"

You feel your body bound, your staff uncontrollably out of your hands, and your enemies do the same.

The blood and anger that surged due to the battle have not completely subsided, you wiped the blood foam overflowing from the corner of your mouth because of the backlash, and your eyes are still fiercely staring at the previous enemy, while the three of them were killed because of the professor's reprimand. Showing a bit of guilt and remorse, he glared at you and obediently looked away.

You feel your shoulders being held by someone, and after a moment of stiffness, your tense body gradually relaxes.You turned to look at Arendt, his deep brown eyes were rare and gentle, and he hugged you from behind silently.

You finally pulled away from the fighting state, restored your previous peaceful and friendly (?) personality, and looked embarrassedly at the professor who walked in.

Professor: "All five of you come with me, I think you must learn your lesson!"

You—well, you silently forked the game.

It's just cheating!Doesn't it matter if you lose this battle? !So what's the matter with you working so hard and consuming so much medicine just now? !You were always poor in the early game, okay? !As a poor person, you have been saving money carefully and never wasting a penny, okay? !You feel like you just can't stand it and you have to do it all over again!

So, you re-enter the game, load the save file, trigger the event, and the battle begins!

This time, you didn't even bother to put on any pretense after being well-behaved, you faced the enemy's magic without any resistance and sacrificed generously, and quickly saw the professor who hurried to stop you again.

You: ... So the professor has been watching the battle, and he will not come out until one side loses?Do personnel? !

Three students from the Black Robe College follow behind the professor, and Arendt, holding your hand, is last.You were taken to the professor's office and reprimanded severely, and then you were punished with a minor demerit plus labor service.

The three students glared at you and Arendt, and left unwillingly, while you were forcefully dragged by Arendt to the medical room, where the injuries on your body were treated.

You: "Hey, don't you want to say something?"

Along the way, apart from looking at you with eyes so gentle that your scalp tingles, Arend didn't say a single unnecessary word.You are a little uncomfortable, and a little unhappy.You actually don't want Arendt to be grateful for your help, but if you don't even say "thank you", you always feel a little bit at a loss.

Arend laughed lightly and rubbed your head: "Edmund just now is so cute, he looks like a vicious little wolf dog protecting food!"

you:"……………………"

You couldn't bear it anymore, and angrily shook Arendt's hand off your head: "Get out!"

Arend laughed loudly, hugged you who turned around to leave, and rubbed your neck: "It's so good, I knew, Edmund, you will never let me down, even, you will be better than I thought. Hope to do better. Seeing you angry for me, attacking those who hurt me for me, I feel that no matter what happens to me, it doesn't matter."

You blushed and tried to break away from Arendt's embrace: "It's so stinky, let go!"

Arendt chuckled again, but then his tone suddenly became serious and gloomy: "I will not give up, Edmund, even for you, I will not give up on myself. I will definitely find a way to use magic to become The most powerful mage, and then seek justice for those who hurt you and hurt me."

You stopped struggling, slowly took Arendt's hand, and gave a soft "hmm": "I believe in you, you will definitely do it."

At this time, you didn't see the ambition and coldness in Arendt's eyes. The opportunity for his transformation has already begun. He is no longer the simple, cheerful and optimistic boy in your memory.

Perhaps the punishment for this brawl was more severe than others expected, and perhaps the professors were worried that Arendt, who had no magic skills, would suffer irreparable harm. In short, since then, the students of the Black Robe Academy have been hostile to Arendt. Lunt's actions were slightly restrained. Although several small-scale conflicts broke out, both sides were very measured and did not cause too bad consequences.

Anyway, your first year at the Black Robe Academy ended under such circumstances.Due to your "extensive combat experience", you achieved a good result, but Arendt was exempted from the actual combat assessment because he still couldn't find a way to communicate with the black magic elements, and he was not forced to stay in school for tutoring .

On the way back, you were with Arendt, but Jennifer disappeared. It is said that she was in the carriage of her friend from the White Robe Academy.

Although Jennifer disappeared, Arendt still proposed to you the idea of ​​going out to practice during the holidays as before.

You: "Since you want to go, I won't stop it, but I want to be with you."

Arend raised his eyebrows: "Do you worry about me, do you think I can't deal with those dangers alone?"

You: "You don't even know magic, do you think I can rest assured?!"

Arendt: "Hey, Edmund, you are really ruthless, aren't you afraid that it will hurt my self-esteem?"

You: "Hehe, I am more worried about your life than your self-esteem."

Arendt scratched her hair in some annoyance: "I'm sorry, Edmund, I can't let you come with me."

You startled: "Why?!"

——Is this different from what you said? !What on earth are you working so hard to improve your favorability for a whole year? !

Arendt: "If you are here, I will always rely on you subconsciously, and this is what I don't want. I need to face danger alone, only in this way can I stimulate my potential."

You frowned and remained silent. Although you understood Arendt's choice intellectually, you couldn't accept it emotionally.

Arendt held your hand: "Believe me, Edmund, I will come back alive, and I will not let you down or be sad."

You looked deeply at Arendt's firm gaze, and realized that no matter how much you persuaded him, you couldn't change his mind. Finally, you sighed helplessly and nodded: "Okay, I understand, please be careful."

Next, because you were preoccupied, you didn't say anything more to Arendt. You got off the carriage at the gate of the town and said goodbye to each other.

Just when you were about to leave, Arendt suddenly held your arm, leaned close to you, and planted a kiss on your forehead as if suppressing something.

Your eyes widened in astonishment, and you looked at Arendt, but Arendt didn't give any explanation, just smiled and waved to you, said "goodbye" before turning around and walking away quickly.

You looked at Arendt's back, touched your forehead in a daze, and there were groups of mud horses galloping past in your heart.

Are you kidding me? !Raiders progress so fast? !Don't you think how cruel it is to brush Arend's favor? !When you think that the aloof Clawson didn't face up to his feelings for you until the third year of school, you are almost moved to tears by Arendt's "on the road"!Sure enough, the villain boss is so indulgent and passionate!

...But stupid author, are you sure you don't have any options now?For example [Worried about Arendt so secretly followed] or something like that?

You waited for a long time at the entrance of the village with some reluctance, and after confirming that you really couldn't go on an adventure with Arendt, you walked towards your home in disappointment.

A vacation flies by in a blink of an eye. During this period, you occasionally receive news from Arendt several times.He seems to be doing well, saw a lot of new and interesting things, and met all kinds of people. The only regret is that he still has not solved his own troubles.

It's just that the start of school is approaching, but Arendt has not returned to the town. You are a little worried, and you and Jennifer asked the professor about Arendt's news the first time you returned to school, and then It is learned that he is currently receiving treatment in the medical room.

The mood of the black-robed professor is obviously very happy. It is rare for him to easily tell you that Arendt has solved the problem of not being able to communicate with black magic elements, and his body is swelling with amazing and unparalleled magic power.Although his injury was a bit serious, compared with what he got, he was considered lucky.

You are happy for Arendt's success, but also worried about his injury, until you see Arendt lying on the bed in the medical room and smiling at you, then you slowly put your heart into practice .

Because of Jennifer's presence, you and Arendt didn't have a deep conversation, and in the same week, you also met Clawson, who was in charge of taking care of Arendt.

There is a new love on one side and an old love on the other, and you feel that your mood is extremely complicated.

Then, you will see the pop-up selection box in a timely manner:

A: Stay with Arendt.

B: Go to Crawfordson.

C: Go straight back to the dormitory.

You: "...does this still require a choice? Stupid author?!"

Stupid author: "It's just that the number of words in this chapter is enough, I'm too lazy to continue writing, just choose an option to keep the format consistent ╮(╯▽╰)╭"

The author has something to say: Previous chapter options:

A: 0

B: 1

C: 115
