Became a Human Rights Advocate

74 – Episode 15. Booster Battle, Skirmish.

“… Ugh.”

Chloe put her hands on her temples and let out a shallow moan.

You used too many abilities in succession.

Since teleportation with a companion reduces the distance, more teleportation is required.

As soon as I took the two of them from the West District and teleported to the East District, I received a call from Joo Ji-young.

And this time, I took three of the same team members and teleported again to the western district.

There could have been a way to move on foot.

‘It would be too late if I did that.’

As the situation was, we needed to hurry.

Chloe Edelweiss.

She is the granddaughter of the director of Edelweiss Academy, and she had a sense of duty as a member of the privileged class.

The more she is in a crisis situation, the more she has to take the risk herself.

It is a sense of responsibility, like a kind of noblesse oblige.

‘… Not to the point of collapsing.’

At least it hurts my temples a little bit.

A battle is not impossible at all.

Having made up her judgment, Chloe turned her head away, sweeping her two strands of hair.

“Okay, now that we’re near the target, let’s move-“

– Yes. Her words did not carry on to the end.

“… Town… ugh… “

“Guyueek.”

“Machina shakes her head at the sensation she feels for the first time. It’s kind of like seeing the stars.”

The three hold on to a telephone pole and vomit.

Seeing that, Chloe’s trust in her colleague seemed to drop infinitely.

Well, as for what caused the three of them to be like that, in the end it was because Chloe used her powers too roughly.

“… Let me rest for a bit.”

Chloe said that in her embarrassing voice, then glanced up at the sky.

Contrary to Chloe’s anxious mind, the white clouds are flowing slowly.

‘… Will Suisei be okay?’

＜3＞

Suisei jumped into the air to avoid the rushing thorns.

“How do you dodge in the air, lady!”

The newly appeared thorns at the landing point try to pierce Suisei’s body.

However, Suisei’s body did not fall to the ground, but instead flew upward once more.

Suisei’s ability is ice.

He spurred on a platform made by condensing moisture in the air and jumped up.

“Ha!”

Suisei swung his black sword in mid-air with a roar of spirit.

It’s a powerful blow, but the trajectory is too obvious.

Paulo immediately twisted his body to avoid the attack, but-

-Chirit

“… Ugh.”

My body doesn’t listen.

When I turned my eyes, I saw Baek So-so with her hands on the wall.

A crackling current bounced along the wall.

Baeksoso’s electric shock using the wall as a medium hit Paulo’s body.

The damage wasn’t great because he was poor at attacking using only his abilities, but he succeeded in stopping Paulo’s movement for a while.

“Suisei-senpai!”

Suisei’s black sword is approaching at close range.

It was only then that Paulo’s paralysis was lifted.

Dodging an attack at this distance is impossible even for a professional athlete with superhuman reflexes.

However, this academia is the city of the talented.

A place full of talented people who can make the impossible possible with common sense.

Suisei’s black sword cuts Paulo’s body.

The diagonally cut body collapses.

But instead of relaxing his body, Suisei swung his sword straight ahead.

Chang!

Just after hearing the sound of metal colliding with metal, Suisei was pushed all the way back.

What Suisei cut was not Paulo, but black metal in the shape of Paulo.

‘…It’s the same as when I dodged Miss Soso’s attack.’

Suisei frowned at that thought.

“Is that your ability just now?”

“Where is the person who tells me to ask!”

Suisei swung his sword again, and Paulo roared at him.

“… It’s amazing.”

Lee Si-hyeok, who watched the battle from the back, exclaimed.

I didn’t expect Suisei to become so strong in such a short period of time.

I never thought I would continue the fight with Paulo.

“Don’t just watch leisurely, do something, Lee Si-hyeok!”

Chae Hee-rin shouted as if everyone was listening.

Beads of sweat were beading on her forehead.

At first glance, the battle between Suisei and Paulo seems to be on the same page.

But that was only possible thanks to Baek So-so and Chae Hee-rin’s assists.

It is Chae Hee-rin’s flame that melts the thorns aiming at Suisei’s blind spot.

What gives Suisei a chance to attack is the blitz of the white cow and the cow.

In other words, Paulo is fighting three people at the same time.

The moment even one person is defeated, the stalemate will be broken and the battle will end with Paulo’s victory.

And Lee Si-hyeok knew that fact better than anyone else.

“Be patient. Because I’m watching the timing!”

“You are not doing anything!”

“Let’s do it according to the plan, according to the plan.”

From noble mtl dot com

Chae Hee-rin shouted in frustration, but Lee Si-hyeok didn’t care and glared at Paulo.

Even while sharing a relationship with Suisei, Paulo’s eyes occasionally met Lee Si-hyuk.

Paulo knows better than anyone else the danger of Lee Si-hyeok’s amplification ability.

Paulo intuitively felt that Lee Si-hyeok was the only one who could resolve this stalemate.

So, even in the middle of the battle, I am constantly aware of Lee Si-hyeok and pay close attention to his movements.

And the same goes for Lee Si-hyuk.

Aiming for a chance to defeat Paulo in one shot, he is fiddling with the colorless elements in his pockets.

And the time for the conclusion came in an instant.

Suisei retreated half a step back and inserted the black sword into his scabbard.

一閃

“One Island-“

The moment he heard Su Issey’s words, Lee Si-hyeok took his left hand out of his pocket.

Without hesitation, he threw the colorless element straight ahead.

At the end of the trajectory of Suisei’s black sword, a colorless element thrown by Lee Si-hyeok overlaps.

白雪

“- Shirayuki!”

At the same time as Suisei shouted, the season in the alley changed to winter.

The warmth of late spring disappears in an instant, and instead, bone-chilling cold attacks Paulo’s body.

“aaa!”

My whole body froze, and Paul let out a scream.

Thick thorns extend from Paulo’s body in all directions, like a hedgehog.

Some of them passed Baek So-so and Suisei, and even infiltrated the rear where Chae Hee-rin and Lee Si-hyeok were located.

But maybe it was because it was the last struggle, the hit rate of that attack was terrible.

The misdirected thorns finally stop their advance.

A chilly frozen alley with ice everywhere.

Paulo’s black body is as solid as a statue.

Baek Soso, who was brushing his arm in the cold, looked back with a bright smile.

“Senior! I did it!”

“Looks like it’s over, Lee Si-hyuk.”

“…Thank you all for your hard work!”

It was at that moment when the three shouted loudly as if they were to be heard.

A thick thorn near Lee Si-hyeok crumbled with a crackling sound.

And what came out of it was-

“Yes, you worked hard, Lee Si-hyuk!”

It was Paulo.

With lightning-like speed, Paulo’s hand goes to Lee Si-hyuk’s chest-!

＜4＞

Paulo has a total of three abilities.

First, to create black metal.

The thick shield that normally covers Paulo’s body is the effect of this first ability.

The second is to freely transform the shape of the black metal connected to the body.

The thorn attack that erupted around Paulo’s body is the effect of this second ability.

And the third and final ability.

To ‘exchange’ one’s position with a black metal of appropriate volume.

It was also thanks to the effect of this third ability that I was able to evade the attacks of Baeksoso and Suisei.

After creating black metal behind himself, he ‘swapped’ his body just before the attack hit.

And that usage is the reason for Paulo’s notoriety as a boss.

Because he used to switch positions with his thorns, infiltrate from the rear in an instant, and then slaughter the ranged dealer and supporter in one fell swoop.

“This is the end-!”

And of course

I know that better than anyone else.

A pointed spear rushes into my heart.

Just before the spear touches my heart, my right hand comes out of my pocket and interjects.

A look of astonishment flashes in Paulo’s eyes.

“What?”

The thing in my right hand is a colorless element made as thick as possible.

Paulo’s attack stopped its advance after barely half-piercing the colorless element.

“Now!”

I shouted as I kicked the stopped Paulo’s stomach with all my might.

The comrades who have already approached are preparing to attack right away.

They never let go of their tension even for a moment.

I just said that everything was over just to induce the enemy’s vigilance.

Because he remembered what I said earlier.

‘… I’ll be the bait in case of emergency.’

I said it was a “What if” Situation, but it was only with Paulo in mind.

It’s enough to deal with the other two with overwhelming firepower before using the boosters.

However, Paulo is not an easy opponent to deal with.

Seeing an opportunity somehow, it’s clear he’ll try to deal with me first.

Then stop using that attack against me.

“You are smarter than I thought, Lee Si-hyeok.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

Falling to the floor, Paulo gasped and looked behind him.

Then she held her breath, and then turned her head back to me.

“… Were you able to make that many?”

It must have been said when he saw the colorless element in Seth’s hands.

I smiled awkwardly and nodded.

If you are this close, you can keep the colorless element handed over to you.

It would have been nice if it was given to Team B, but it was impossible with my current abilities.

“Wow, what a ridiculous ability.”

Just before the three attacks hit, Paulo murmured, giving up everything.

“That’s right.”

Even if you look at it like this, I’m chasing human rights.
