At the time in her hesitation, several fireballs not big as the before slashed around her.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ..."

The flame obscured her sight soon so that she missed Light.

At the moment the opponent's gaze unlocked, Light was able to take a breath. He felt as if he had died once but relived.

And then dozens of small waterballs smashed at the flame, instantly the dense clouds of spray diffused all around.

"Run!" Emma shouted at Light. This was the precious chance he created for him.

"But what about you?" He looked nervously at her and Alice.

"She didn't dare!" Emma pointed her clan logo printed on the clothes in front of her chest, which meant she had a favorable family background.

With a head bob of confession, Alice also motioned for him to leave.

"Her only target is you, leave us alone." She urged him to run quickly.

Light, who said nothing, turned over to leave. He just wanted to get rid of that insufferable death feeling. So he ran, getting desperate, at full gallop.

He wanted to live so much.

After the smoke cleared, the black woman came out and only saw the boy's vague figure farther away.

She smiled and squinted at the two beauties, "Girls, it's not funny."

Her theroid gaze swept the two, and then they felt something freezing touched their skins. The two girls' blood seemed to turn into ice; they trembled even there's no cold flow.

"Are you sure..." The black woman outstretched her delicate, thin fingers in front of her face; the spiculate talons grew slowly on her fingertips, which looked like the monster's claws. " I'm still keeping sympathy like this?"

She smiled.

The thick smell of blood began to suffuse in the air.

************************************************************

Death itself was nothing to be feared; the frightening part was the period you knew you're going to die. The complexities of human nature could be seen in the prisoner's struggle on the last day of his life, which was witnessed by Light before. He wasn't able to be empathy.

He was being now.

The browned gaze couldn't be erased out of his brain; Light was certain that he must die in that black woman's hand if he remained there.

The fear drove him to keep running desperately. Or what? To continue fighting? Come on! What else was there to do even Chidori didn't work?

Light kind of needed that to be the case. He told himself it could be forgiven for running his life. It's not a shame. Survival was everything.

He's not MC in this magical world and never had been. The average man would react like himself if encountered this case.

He was not a hero, and he didn't want to be. The reason why he saved Alice was the girl looked like an acquaintance, and he felt confident about the opportunity to kill the bear.

What he went through these days reminded him of his time before, including that girl.

"Would you regret?"

It seemed to be a cry in his ear; the reminiscence struck his mind.

He was a man of reason and could reason very clearly, which didn't mean he wasn't an affectionate man. On the contrary, ...

The distraction in his brain caused him to take disorder footsteps; Light tripped and fell. Everything and the situations seemed the same as before - he collapsed on the road.

He stared at his hands for a while and asked himself, "Would you regret?"

He thought he never regretted before, but not until death.

God gave him once chance again.

....................................................................

"I will. So, I won't."

He made up his mind. Then he stood up.

However, the reality was reality; it wouldn't change for someone's mind. The cliché in novels wouldn't happen in this world. He knew it. The courage was not recklessness.

How did Sasuke find a way if he faced it? Light thought deeply about it before closing his eyes.

"It'd be better if I developed Mangekyou Sharingan." He sorted of sighed.

The almighty Dōjutsu from Mangekyou Sharingan was nearly perfect, especially Susannoo which was integrated with offensive-defensive capabilities.

But there didn't exist 'what if' in reality. Blood wouldn't decrease for the tears, he must find the answer by himself.

As he thought about it for a while, he found everything nearby was quiet unusually.

Light had left the training field and there're supposed to make sound by others in this region at school. It's next to the living areas, after all.

**********************************************************

On the training ground, the girl named Emma collapsed on the ground unconsciously, which looked like an illusion had been put on her. Another girl, whose whole body was wrapped in the thick layer of rock except for a pair of reflective, big eyes, lying on the ground and unable to speak.

"A little better than I thought." The black woman withdrew her talons as 'Monster Eye' disappeared. She was a little tired. What they three did things had been more than expected, and maintaining 'Monster Eye ' was not easy for her.

Just as she was about to end this game, two fireballs shot into the sky and exploded in the clouds.

Then a small figure cleared gradually from a distance, with the blue lightning and determination.

"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! ......"

The Chidori, sprinting at full speed, ploughed a deep straight line pit in the ground.

She squinted at the figure who came back, smirked, "Brave enough, but not smart."

Some remarkable fatal finishing moves like Chidori only worked via sneak attack. A frontal assault like this couldn't have an effect.

In the blink of an eye, the fatal blue lightning had been shown in front of her face.

Of course, he missed. The speed of the woman was fast enough to dodge this attack, not to mention that it's more predictable. However, the attack kept moving toward the spot where Alice was trapped.

"Slaaaaaa!"

Chidori broke the rocks wrapped over her lightly, rescued Alice from the predicament.

"You shouldn't be here!"

Alice kneaded her wrist with her knuckles and took her spell rod again. Light frowned at least several separate strikes on her body without a word.

"It turns out to be a trick." The black woman smirked at Light, "You decided to accept my deal, didn't you?"

"If you excuse me ..." Light stepped to Emma's side and unraveled the illusion on her.

The woman thought Light wanted to add some prerequisites, "For what?"

Light smiled as she did, "Suck ... my ... dick!" He repeated the word, slowly stressing each syllable.

The woman giggled unusually without irritation, "If you don't mind."

Emma, who just woke up, imagined it'd be an inexplicable deal between them. Wasn't it fighting? How could it turn the fight on such things? They wanted a sex trafficking?

"Oh! No!" She retorted out, "You can't do this!" She shouted at the woman in her mind, "He hasn't been with me yet! How dare you!"

Alice came alongside and patted her shoulder softly, said seriously, "Wake up! It's fighting!"

"Ah?" Emma's brain servers were down.

"It looks like you want to continue." The woman smiled, "OK! Enjoy me more."

As these words ended, her bestial browned eyes opened again. At this time, the air around seemed to freeze. Light felt as if he had fallen into a glacier, he couldn't breathe again. So did two girls.

Before the battle of the fist came the battle of the mind. Light lost.

The fear pinned him to the ground, as still as a statue.

"Move! Move! Move!" He bellowed at himself in mind.

The black woman showed her claws as she stepped toward Light; she said coldly, without a smile, "Every decision in the battle probably causes an irreparable mistake, and you can't have a chance to choose again."

"Of course I know!"

The woman nodded, "So, you're responsible for it!" She ended up in front of him, raised her right claw, then waved down.

The blood spattered.

But she still missed.

She looked over at the other side; Light held the two girls' hands to help them up with his right hand bleeding.

"So it is! Overcome fear through pain?" She thought to herself, "He is really something!"

The two girls recovered from the fear and took the spell rod.

"Are you expert at water magic?" He asked Emma.

"Not really." Emma didn't think she was a master of water magic, "But familiar enough."

"You're a good illusionist, aren't you? I've seen you took that woman in your illusion." Light asked Alice.

"But I need time." Alice nodded, "The instant ones won't work."

"That's pretty much!" He smirked, "I have a plan!"
