"Nuna! Eyes! Don’t cover my eyes! I want to see too!"
"Stay still..."
Holding onto the whining little kid, Fen Miao tightly covered their eyes while staring at the backs of a man and a woman standing in front of her.
’...The rescue team is here.’
As soon as she realized this mission was a trap set by the demons, she imdiately requested rescue.
Honestly, she hadn’t expected a rescue team to actually be dispatched. Even if one ca, she thought it would take a long ti to arrive.
After all, this place, Acapulco, was a port city located at the southernmost tip of xico. Even with a spatial transporter to reach xico, it would take hours more by car.
Besides, she had always distanced herself from others, so she believed no one would volunteer for such a dangerous task to save soone like her.
Yet, here they were.
’...Even Jin Yuha himself.’
Fen Miao felt a surge of emotions well up inside her.
It was the first ti soone had co to rescue her.
The two people standing in front of her were reassuring, even from behind.
She felt certain that it was okay for her to simply shield the children’s eyes here.
Srrrrrng—
The two drew their swords simultaneously, like mirrored images.
Bang!
With a sound resembling a gunshot, they propelled their bodies forward.
Swish—
In the blink of an eye, the heads of the demons began to fall.
Each ti a sword slashed, the demons let out shrill screams and collapsed.
"Monsters! They’re monsters!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill those bastards!!!"
"Aaaagh! G-guh!"
The demons foad at the mouth and convulsed.
No matter how many daggers flew, no matter how many poisonous projectiles or arrows shot forth,
No matter how much magic and debuffs rained down—
Swish!
It was all cut down with a single sword, breaking through everything.
Could this even be called a battle?
No, it wasn’t.
This was a hunt.
A one-sided slaughter, trampling, and annihilation.
But because the targets were demons, the scene didn’t appear horrifying to Fen Miao at all.
’I’ve heard the na Jin Yuha often enough, but...’
Was it really to this degree?
She had little interest in the world around her and didn’t browse the internet much, but even she had heard of Jin Yuha’s achievents. She thought he must be extraordinary.
But seeing it in person, the gap was so vast it felt surreal. Despite being fellow cadets.
Fen Miao felt both gratitude and an inferiority complex.
’...But who is that woman?’
Her gaze shifted to the woman with an expressionless face standing next to Jin Yuha.
Even while standing beside Jin Yuha, she held her ground without faltering, dispatching the demons with nearly the sa speed.
At that mont, one demon, terrified and having wet himself, turned and ran while shouting in despair.
"N-no...! Butcher Maniac!!! Only a madman would go against that lunatic! I-I’m getting out of here!!!"
But that attempt was futile as well.
Saaaaahhh—
At so point, cold ice spread across the ground, gripping the demons’ ankles firmly and refusing to let go.
"I don’t like that nickna," the woman with black hair muttered as she walked calmly across the icy ground.
"That nickna implies I’m a killer."
Her dark blade rose.
"D-damn it!!"
The demon clutched its frozen feet, its pupils trembling as its teeth clattered.
"I do not raise my sword against humans. Only against trash unworthy of being called human."
Swish!
The demon’s lifeless head flew as its pupils lost all light.
Fen Miao’s eyes were seared with the image of Baek Seol-hee.

It took less than five minutes for my master and to deal with all the demons.
Honestly, that’s only because I was enjoying working with my master for the first ti in a while and took my ti.
’Well... I an, when two near-transcendent beings team up, this much is inevitable...’
Hmph.
Looking around, it seems clear now—no one is left alive.
Still, these bastards really had been swarming here in droves.
"...They’re really persistent. Where on earth do these demon bastards keep coming from?" "Hmm, they’re like cockroaches. Look away for just a day, and they swarm like this."
It was during this casual conversation with my master, standing over the corpses of demons.
"Guuh—!"
"Hm? Fen Miao?"
"Th-thank—"
"Ah, no need for formalities. That’s not even your character, is it?"
"...Oh? R-really?"
"Yeah, we’re both second-year cadets anyway, aren’t we?" "...Y-yeah, we are."
Hmm.
I observed Fen Miao, nodding with a timid deanor.
A small fra, sharp, upturned eyes, and gray hair cascading to her shoulders.
Seeing characters I liked in the ga appear in reality like this always reminds : This isn’t a ga—it’s real life.
She’s the type who is intensely shy with strangers.
Though expressing that shyness by drawing her sword is a bit extre, it makes sense. She’s soone who’s been deeply scarred in the past.
She’s like an unsocialized stray cat.
In the ga, if you approached her too familiarly upon first eting, she’d bristle and hiss at you.
’Fen Miao was the type who only interacted through words like "Go away," "Shut up," and "So what."’
If you got a bit closer, her responses evolved to, "Don’t bother with ."
’So you had to approach her slowly, like opening a can of tuna and stepping back to let her co closer.’
But looking at her now, it seems I don’t need to go through all that trouble.
And I had another trump card in my favor.
Just look at her now.
Blushing furiously and stealing glances at my master, unable to tear her eyes away from her.
She has a synergy of "Demon Hatred" and "Sensitive Sense of Sll," so she instinctively reacts to the scent of demon blood.
In the ga, one way to raise Fen Miao’s favorability was to provide information on hidden demon locations.
And next to ?
The person who makes demons tremble in fear and wet their pants just by hearing her na.
She must have instinctively realized that she was soone she should follow.
’Who needs catnip when my master is walking, talking catnip.’
Heh—
But her words diverged slightly from what I had expected.
Thud.
Fen Miao suddenly knelt and bowed before my master.
"Please, take as your disciple!"
"I no longer take disciples."
"T-that’s...!"
"Give up. My only disciple is Jin Yuha." "...Guuh!"
Fen Miao lifted her head, her panicked eyes darting between and my master.
’...When two people who aren’t great at communicating et, things get a little off track.’
My master rarely says unnecessary things, and Fen Miao isn’t the best with words—she just blurts out whatever’s on her mind.
It seems I need to diate here.
"Um, Fen Miao. You might not beco a disciple, but you can still follow her."
"...What?"
