Avoid Yandere Constellation

Ten minutes before the ritual was complete, Skaya, who had separated from her teammates, was leisurely walking through the forest.

-Kieeek!!

A low-level monster, a goblin, charged towards her with a stone hand axe that looked like it was made in the Stone Age.

Skaya didn’t even look at the goblin and snapped her middle and index fingers.

-Pffft!

A magic circle appeared under the goblin’s feet, and a spear made of magic energy shot up.

-Kieek!

The goblin couldn’t dodge the attack and was pierced in the abdomen, struggling for a while before dying, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.

Skaya showed no interest in the goblin and instead covered her eyes from the sunlight, looking around.

“Hmm, Kaine asked me to do the first evaluation with him, but he hasn’t come to check on me even once!”

Skaya pouted and tapped her feet.

I shouldn’t have gone along with the atmosphere back then!!

.

.

.

A few days ago.

When Kaine suddenly asked to meet her alone with a serious face, Skaya waited with a stiff expression.

Oh no, what should I do?

Honestly, meeting him alone didn’t have much meaning.

They had trained together before, and recently, they had been hanging out together.

The problem was that the place he chose to meet was the back of the Royal Academy’s main building, which was famous for being a spot where people confessed to each other.

So, meeting alone there was obviously for a confession.

A confession!

Hmm, have I been getting too close to him lately?

It’s true that they had been hanging out together a lot recently.

No matter how close friends they were, spending too much time together could make them see each other as more than friends.

Moreover, now that she was thinking about it, she was becoming aware of Kaine as a man.

So, it wasn’t strange for him to like her.

Thump, thump, thump.

Her heart was beating faster than usual.

She had received confessions here before, but why was she feeling this way now?

As Skaya took a deep breath to calm herself down…

“Huh? You’re already here?”

“Hiyaaak!”

Kaine suddenly appeared behind her, making her let out a feminine scream without realizing it.

At Skaya’s scream, Kaine was startled.

“What? Why are you screaming like that? People might think I’m attacking you.”

“You! You suddenly appeared from behind!”

“Huh? I just walked here.”

“Ugh! You’re trying to avoid the subject!”

At Skaya’s words, Kaine shrugged casually.

“Hey, why are you so nervous?”

“What, what are you talking about?!”

“Well, you’re even sweating.”

To check if his words were true, Skaya touched her face.

Huh? What’s this? I’m actually sweating!

“And your face is all red.”

“It’s hot, that’s why!”

Skaya denied Kaine’s words and waved her arms.

Kaine looked at her and tilted his head.

“……But it’s quite chilly today.”

“Ahh! Anyway, that’s not important! Just tell me why you called me here!”

“Yeah, well…”

Kaine listened to Skaya’s words and opened his mouth, then closed it, looking hesitant.

Seeing his expression, Skaya swallowed her dry saliva.

Is he really going to confess? That bastard!

There’s no other reason for him to start and stop talking like that.

Hmm, hmm, what should I do?

Until now, she had only thought of him as a friend, but suddenly being asked to confess was surprising.

Should I reject him?

First of all, aside from her own feelings, Lise, his childhood friend, Eileen, his ex-fiancée, and the Saint, who clearly liked him, would definitely be upset. ŖαＮоΒĚŜ

It didn’t make sense for him to confess to her, leaving those three behind, but accepting his confession with such an ambiguous heart would be disrespectful to the girls who genuinely liked him.

That’s how much their feelings were evident.

As she made up her mind, Kaine bent down and spoke.

“Skaya, can you change the performance evaluation date from the second to the first?”

“Yes, I can. I’ll accept it… Huh? What did you say?”

“Huh? You said you’d accept it, right? Okay~”

Kaine seemed to have missed her last words and was happily smiling to himself.

Huh? What did I hear?

“Wait a minute, Kaine. What did you just say?”

“Huh? I said okay.”

“No, I mean what you said before that.”

“Can you change the performance evaluation date from the second to the first?”

“……”

Hmm, what’s this feeling?

Honestly, changing the performance evaluation from the second to the first?

It doesn’t matter. I’m confident in my skills, whether it’s the second or the first evaluation.

But… why am I so annoyed?

It’s clear that I’m relieved that he didn’t confess, but I feel like my head is about to explode.

No, it must be my imagination. There’s no way I’d get this angry over something like this.

Denying reality, Skaya, with a flushed face, asked Kaine, who was happily smiling.

“……Kaine, I’m curious about something. Why did you specifically ask to meet here to say that?”

“Huh? Oh, because this place is famous for being deserted. That’s why I chose it. After all, it wouldn’t be right to make this request in front of other people.”

“That’s true…”

His words were correct. If he had made that request in front of the students, it would have caused unnecessary rumors, and they might have been warned by the professors.

That’s true, but…

“Okay, I’ll change the date as you said. My teammates are fine with it anyway. But… let’s fight!”

“Why?!”

Skaya, with a flushed face, slapped Kaine’s back with all her strength, leaving a palm print on his back.

.

.

.

Skaya snapped out of her thoughts and let out a deep sigh.

“Haa, let’s talk after the performance evaluation, Kaine…”

As she pouted, a dark light suddenly shot up, and the ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred.

-Grrrrrrrrr!

Due to the earthquake, the trees around them fell one after the other. Birds that had been sitting comfortably on the branches flapped their wings and flew away into the sky.

“What’s going on?! What’s happening all of a sudden?!”

As Skaya was startled by the sudden situation, a voice came from the bracelet given by the professors.

-Ah, ah. Students participating in the performance evaluation, please use the transfer on your bracelet right now. I repeat…

At those words, Skaya didn’t hesitate and transferred using the bracelet, infusing it with magic power.

.

.

.

Meanwhile, Kim Soo-yong, unable to find the Cult’s members, clicked his tongue and transferred.

As he transferred, the scenery around him changed from trees to buildings.

One by one, students began to appear, starting with Kim Soo-yong.

Hoo, let’s find Kaine first.

He’s also someone who knows about this situation.

So, he might know what’s going on now.

Looking around for Kaine…

“Hey, over here! David Von Kaine is injured!”

Someone shouted in a desperate voice.

Hearing those words, Kim Soo-yong ran towards the location to see what had happened.

Damn, this is crazy.

It was no wonder he was shocked, as Kaine’s entire body was covered in wounds, and it was a mystery how he was still alive.

Fortunately, the good news was that he didn’t have any fatal injuries, but even so, he was in a state where he could easily die from blood loss.

Not only Kim Soo-yong but also Eileen, Jenny, and Skaya, who were nearby, were startled and widened their eyes.

Then, Eileen asked the priest who was healing Kaine with a trembling voice.

“W-will he be okay?”

“……Yes, since he doesn’t have any fatal injuries, he should be fine.”

Hearing those words, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. As the tension eased, their expressions changed rapidly.

“But how did Kaine get so badly injured? He’s not weak enough to be defeated by low-level monsters.”

At Skaya’s question, the other two nodded in agreement.

“I don’t know who did this exactly, but judging by the wounds, it doesn’t seem like it was a monster.”

At the priest’s words, Eileen and Skaya frowned, but after a moment, they managed to suppress their anger, fearing that it might harm Kaine.

Hmm, it seems like they’re close to Kaine. It’s better to tell them the truth, right?

Anyway, given the current situation, they’ll find out sooner or later.

So, it doesn’t make much difference whether they know now or later.

“Hoo, are you guys friends with Kaine?”

At Kim Soo-yong’s question, the two turned to him and tilted their heads.

“Yes, we are.”

“No, I’m his childhood friend.”

“……Yes, that’s right. Anyway, how did Kaine get so badly injured?”

“It’s fine, Kim Soo-yong, I’ll explain.”

As Kim Soo-yong was about to speak, Kaine regained consciousness and interrupted him, grimacing in pain.

Seeing Kaine, Skaya and Eileen ran towards him and hugged him.

“Kaine!”

“You bastard!”

The two hugged him out of concern, but Kaine, whose body was covered in wounds, didn’t realize their intentions and cried out in pain.

“Aaah! I’m dying!”

.

.

.

Kaine, finally relieved from the pain, explained everything that had happened.

After hearing his explanation, Skaya, Eileen, Jenny, Kim Soo-yong, the professors, and everyone else became serious.

“So, you’re saying that when you went towards the dark light, you were ambushed by a demon, and it was summoned by the Cult?”

“Yes, and it seems like the Cult is behind this.”

“Indeed. Normally, those guys are the only ones who would do something like this. Well, then, the performance evaluation is canceled. We’ll return through the warp gate right now.”

At William’s words, the other professors and priests nodded.

As the priests picked up Kaine, who was still unconscious, and placed him in the warp gate to return, something unexpected happened.

“……Professor, the warp gate isn’t activating.”

“What? Suddenly?”

“Yes.”

Lucy approached the warp gate to see what was going on. After a while, she interpreted the situation by touching the warp gate device.

-Kieeek!

-Krrrrr!

-Gyaaaak!

Low-level monsters began to attack from outside the building, ignoring the barrier.

Seeing this, William frowned and scratched the back of his head as if annoyed.

“Damn, I’m already pissed off, and now these guys are breaking through the barrier.”

“Pro, Professor, the monsters!”

“I know.”

Saying this, William went outside. He scanned the surroundings with a tired face and spoke.

“There are so many of them. Did that demon do this? Tsk!”

William clicked his tongue and didn’t even look at the low-level monsters. He simply infused his fist with energy and lightly punched.

-Hooong!

A white energy fist covered dozens of monsters. The monsters, hit directly by the attack, turned into ashes without even having a chance to scream. Most of the students were shocked, opening their mouths wide.

It was no wonder they were surprised, as William had always given off the image of being lackadaisical, and it was hard to believe he was a professor at the Royal Academy.

“Haaam, Professor Lucy? What’s the situation?”

“Yes, it seems like the warp gate device is being interfered with by magic, making it impossible to operate. In my opinion, we need to kill the demon that Kaine mentioned to resolve this. Ah! And it seems like the barrier is also being interfered with by magic.”

A moment of silence fell inside the building. Sion broke the silence to organize the students.

“Then, who will go to defeat the demon?”

At those words, Eileen and Skaya raised their hands with murderous eyes.

Sion looked at the two of them.

Indeed, in normal circumstances, those two, with their exceptional talents, would be of great help.

Even though they were only first-year students, they had already surpassed the level of ordinary students and could even rival the professors, except for their lack of experience. But…

“You two can’t go.”

“Huh?!”

The two were so surprised by Sion’s firm rejection that they widened their eyes.

Not understanding the reason, Skaya asked.

“Why can’t we go, Professor? Honestly, I’m confident in my abilities.”

“Yes, to be frank, the two of you are too excited about Kaine’s situation right now. In that state, you’ll only cause trouble instead of helping. So, stay here and deal with the incoming monsters while guarding Kaine. That’s what’s best for him.”

At Sion’s words, the two clenched their teeth and remained silent.

They were so angry that they couldn’t control their emotions.

“Then, I’ll go.”

“If Soo-yong goes, I’ll go too.”

“I’ll go as well.”

Kim Soo-yong, along with his teammates, Rain and Burke, raised their hands.

Not bad.

There was no need to mention Kim Soo-yong, and even though Burke was slightly inferior, he wouldn’t be a hindrance.

Rain was also excellent in buffs and healing spells, so she would be of great help.

“I understand. Then, I, Kim Soo-yong, his teammates, and Professor William will go. The rest of the students will be under the supervision of Professor Butler and Professor Lucy.”

“Yes, don’t worry and just go.”

At Sion’s words, Butler nodded, holding his sword.

And so, the protagonist’s group left the building to raid the demon.

Meanwhile, Kaine, eating popcorn, watched his clones through the scope, eagerly following his orders.
