What...? Loveta is a moonstruck!?
“Tch! Don't believe everything they tell you Master! I would never be part of a seedy group like that! Grrrrr!”
"Your lie won't save you!"
Murakami picks up momentum and swings her sword where Loveta is, but the other simply dodges it by going up a tree.
“It's not a lie, but for an imperial knight not to believe, I wouldn't expect less! Gyaaa!”
From above the tree, Loveta launches her chains, but Murakami knocks them back with the impact of her blade.
“Make no mistake, I'm not an Imperial anymore!”
“Gyu? Oh, no? So then why are you hunting soul-linkeds? For fun~? Gah! Don't give me that!”
Loveta leaps from the tree, doing a somersault in the air, and slams her chains with all her will on the ground, opening a huge crater in the middle of the trees.
Murakami narrowly deflects. Her face was slightly cut.
Damn it! Will I just keep watching?! Seeing my ideal anime girl and my angel fighting is the last thing I would like to see!
—I need to come up with something!
“I really wanted to go easy on you, but apparently there's no other way...” Murakami closes her eyes and raises her left arm into the air.
FLASH!!
A second sword appears in her hand.
What?? How did she do it?!
“Master!! Hurry! Take this opportunity and run away!”
“Don't look away! Your chat is with me!”
Using her new weapon, Murakami slices the air in an 'X' shape, and the impact of the blades with the wind flies towards Loveta.
BOOM!
Everything that was in front of her is devastated by the strong blast, leaving only her enemy full of cuts.
“Grrrrr...”
Even cut, Loveta demonstrates that she can still go on, and jumps all over the other.

The level of the fight between the two rises again.
Tch, trying to call them is useless. They are really focused fighting each other. Shit! What can I do?! I don't want to just stand here and do nothing, let alone run away! I've already had enough of playing this noob thing so far!
I need to think!
...Let's see, Murakami is a normal human, just like me, but despite that she can fight, and even create swords out of thin air. I remember she said that we are creators, and that everything here was created by people like us...
Ah, haha, it's obvious!
That, in other words, means that, if she can do it, so can I!
I just need to focus...
[Starting System...]
——!?
What was this??
A robotic voice starts talking in my head.
[System Started. Please select your class.]
As soon as I hear this, several figures appear before my vision. Each of them with a symbol and a description.
Warrior, assassin, archer, templar...?
Just what is going on?! These classes are exactly the same as in my mobile game!
VUUM!
A tree flies just right beside me.
Damn it, I don't have time to understand this! I've already been through so much, nothing else should surprise me anymore! Let's just do it!
I stretch out my fingers and then—
[Class 'Archer' selected.]
I have always been and always will be an archer!
[Do you want to do the tutorial?]
Tutorial? No! I am out of time!
[Tutorial skipped. Loading player assistant...]
A percentage appears in my field vision.
Player assistant? I don't remember that in the original game. And why a loading screen? As if it were a computer...
As the percentage increased, several icons appeared in my field vision, such as level, health, mana, inventory, skills and etc...

[Level: 1
Life: 1000
Mana: 100]
Holly, even the HUD is the same!
Then my hands start to glow and a wooden bow manifest in them.
Oh sure, the beginner bow...
[New skill unlocked: Flash Arrow
Mana cost: 50]
'Flash Arrow'? I don't remember seeing this in the game either, but never mind, if it works the same way I'm thinking—Then perfect!
Now I just need to know how to activate it... Uh, should I really have skipped the tutorial?
[Player assistant loaded.]
[Look if it's not the human? We meet again!]
Wait. Who is it?
The system's voice had changed to a girl's timbre.
Oh, never mind. You must be my assistant, right?
[Yea!]
So please help me! How do I activate this skill?!
[Uh..., just say it?]
Phew, of course...
Looking at the two beauties facing each other with all their might, I direct the arrow from my bow to my target, and just like that I shout—
“Skill: Flash Arrow!”
The shot is fast and accurate, hitting exactly the tree I had in my sights.
FLASH!
“Ugh!”
“Gyaaaa!”
They cover their eyes due to the intensity of the light, and when they discover it, they notice something different. Yes, to their surprise, I was in the middle of both, holding each other's arm.
“The battle ends here!” I say, looking at them seriously.
“Gya?! Master??”
“Ryouzen, did you… 'awakened'?”
Perplexed, they soon calm down.
