I Hope You Rember So Day
I knew it would co to this!
Mane had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
While blocking the attack, she shouted angrily, glaring in my direction.
This is why you should have listened to back then!
Kill your comrade covered with that damn magi right now, If you do so, youll gain enough strength to sowhat be able to match the being in front of you.
Even now, she was constantly spouting incomprehensible nonsense.
Despite my attempt to retort against her irritating words, I could only continue to cough up blood. Barely managing to hold back the flow of blood pouring from my mouth, I shouted at her to provide an explanation.
I I need you to explain what the hell youre even talking about.
I opted to listen, hoping that she could provide a solution to overco this situation.
Thats right. I should explain whats going on first.
We were currently being bombarded by a massive attack.
Although a power beyond anything I had seen before was attacking her, Mane continued her explanation with only a slight frown on her face, indicating that she could continue to withstand the onslaught.
As I told you before, devils beco stronger in solitude. You, I, and the being in front of you, we are all devils.
What nonsense are you say-
Have you ever seen sothing strange written on peoples status windows? No, I dont even need to explain that. Do you happen to have any mories of when you were young, or of your parents? You dont, right?
Its natural that you wouldnt possess such mories. From the start, you are an existence not of this dinsion.
Are you expecting to believe that?
Does it even matter if you believe it or not? Well all die here at this rate, but theres a way for so of us to survive. As a devil, the more alone we are, the stronger we beco. In other words, you mustnt have any bonds with anyone. I dont know if it will be enough, but if you kill those girls, you can beco far stronger than you are now.
As she spoke, Manes expression beca increasingly strained, making it clear she couldnt last much longer.
Seemingly at her limit, she reiterated her request.
Please, kill them quickly. If you dont do it right now, youll be the one who ends up dying. I cant last much longer either.
Pointing at Ha-eun, Seo-ah, and Hyun-a, Mane continued to relentlessly plead for to kill my comrades, reiterating that she couldnt hold on for much longer.
If I didnt do it, I would die.
All of them had already lost consciousness, with Seo-ah and Hyun-a going first, accompanied by Ha-eun due to magi exposure.
Since they couldnt even resist, it wouldnt be difficult to kill them.
But would it be enough to kill that bastard?
What are you doing?! Hurry up and kill them! You dont want to die, do you?!
Mane continually pushed forward, yelling for to kill or be killed.
Fine.
Wonderful! Hurry an-
Before she could even finish speaking, I used [Large Explosion].
Not on my comrades, but on her.
-BOOM!
Mane, who had been stopping the onslaught of attacks, was forced to terminate her barrier, allowing the attack to hit her directly.
C-Cough Wh-What do you think youre doing?
As soon as the attack hit, Manes face contorted in pain, but the surprise on her face remained.
Have you resigned yourself to death?!
Yeah, I have.
?
Kill or be killed. If those were the only two options, the answer was simple.
I would rather be killed.
Are you giving up? How amusing.
The devil laughed at mockingly.
Thinking Id given up, he looked at as if I were a fool.
When did I say I was giving up?
What are you saying?
Would I give up in a situation like this?
Never.
If I gave up, all of my comrades would die.
Death is an old friend.
I would never abandon them. That was the reason I attacked Mane with my full strength.
She mustnt die, but rely be pushed to the brink of death.
In other words, she had to feel defeated.
[You have achieved a complete victory. Please choose a skill you would like to copy.]
Following my attack, a system window appeared before . However, there was no hesitation, as I already knew which skill I wanted.
The skill I would copy had already been decided.
I choose Return by Death!
I chose the ability that would let turn back ti upon my death.
[Skill: Return by Death]
Grade: ??
-In case of death, the player returns to a ti a few seconds before death. Continuous use makes the player return to the mont right before they die.
-This is a passive skill that does not require the use of mana.
-Caution: Upon acquisition of this skill, the players level is fixed to 1. Skills above grade D cannot be acquired.
-[This skill is still in an unreleased state.]
That was the original skill I had. Normally, it forced my level to remain at one.
Now, though
[Skill: Return by Death]
Grade: S
-In case of death, the player returns to a ti a few seconds before death. Continuous use makes the player return to the mont right before they die.
-This is a passive skill that does not require the use of mana.
-Level restriction has been lifted.
-Skill acquisition restriction has been lifted.
-The skill will activate automatically, regardless of what may occur.
-Caution: As usage of this skill increases, the player will eventually forget everything.
The skill description had clearly changed.
So that was why Mane had said that.
She had scread that Return by Death would inevitably lead to solitude.
Mane had acted as if she knew , but I had no mory of her.
This skill may be the root cause of this situation.
Now that its co to this, lets keep going. Lets see what will happen if we continue regressing forever.
?!
Perhaps I might have had ties to this girl.
Her differing skill description of [Return by Death], and her attitude toward led to that conclusion.
I couldnt rember a thing, but we may have shared a history.
Well, thats not really important anymore.
Going back in ti no longer ant that my level would be reset, aning I could continue to grow forever.
I would likely have to go through an uncountable amount of regressions compared to my past self, but what did it matter?
By doing so, I could kill that bastard, and save my comrades.
Its a sha, but I think your strategy ends here. It appears the only people who can rember regressions are , you, and this girl, so feel free to pointlessly turn back ti.
Slowly, I brought my sword up to my neck.
As I did so, I smiled victoriously.
Go fuck yourself.
W-Wait
Realizing sothing was amiss, he moved to stop , but it was too late.
-Slice!
Accompanying the noise was a familiar ssage.
[Return by Death has been activated.]
***
Now, we will begin the academys entrance exam!
Nurous people were gathered within the academy to take the entrance exam.
Naturally, their goal was to pass the entrance exam and gain admission to the academy.
Ha-eun, I told you this kind of behavior isnt acceptable!
It wasnt eee!!
Are you planning on denying it even though we found evidence? Hyun-a, you should scold her too!
Ahahah
The three won currently teasing each other appeared very close.
They demonstrated a sense of familiarity, almost as if they had known each other for a long ti.
The first exam will be an aptitude test involving a magic orb. Please get in line based on your number.
Among the murmuring of the students, the woman on the podium continued to guide the prospective students.
At that mont, one man ascended to the podium.
Huhu, lets see who gets the highest score.
Not paying attention to the person standing at the podium, Ha-eun continued to prattle on.
It was natural, as the person on stage should be soone they didnt know.
There was no reason to pay attention to every prospective student.
However, what happened next drew everyones attention.
-Shatter!
Shocked by the noise of sothing breaking, everyone present turned toward the podium.
Did he just break the magic orb?
Thats crazy How does that make sense?
How strong is he?
Just by placing his hand on the orb, he shattered it into fine powder.
Watching his actions, the three girls, who had seed completely disinterested, turned toward the stage.
As they did, their eyes t.
They definitely shouldnt have shared any connection to the unknown boy on stage, and yet, their faces lit up with recognition.
As they continued facing each other, a system ssage was shown to each of them, stating a singular sentence.
[An error has occurred in the world.]
End.
