My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s - Chapter 186~Growth~ Satou Tsukasa POV

Bang…crash…slam!!

The noises that one wouldn’t think would come from a human body resounded, and a person’s body flew through the air of the blue sky.

Rather, I feel like I’ve seen that in an animation somewhere.

The weather was very good today, so the laundry will dry nicely as well, I began to escape from reality.

「Come on, come on, next!!!」

Sending someone flying with one punch, I would still be able to understand it if it were that robot that we struggled against.

However, the one who sent us flying was a young girl wearing seemingly difficult to move in Gothic Lolita clothing whose age was unknown.

Moreover, we had normal weapons that couldn’t be compared to swords, but she didn’t have anything in her hands.

「Is that it, hero!!」

Her small fist sunk into my abdomen, and my legs left the ground.

Right now, if I was told that she was the demon king, I would probably believe it.

I collided with a faraway tree, and for the fifth time today, my consciousness drifted into darkness.

「For now, why don’t we start after you’ve found the area that you want to develop. Open up your status.」

After finishing her self-introduction, Noa-san suddenly said this.

There were various things on my mind, such as Kurou-san’s matter, but every time I tried to ask, I would be completely ignored.

It seems that she would not accept any questions.

「Open Status」

It’s been a while since I’ve chanted that, and I looked at the board that only I could see.

Opening my status, I froze.

Come to think of it, I did my best to live every day, and I hadn’t checked my status since leaving Yamato.

Not only were the levels of all my skills remarkably higher than when I last looked at them, I had acquired new skills before I realized it.

Because I had not realized that I had acquired them, there were skills that I hadn’t raised the levels of, and then there were also skills that I had unknowingly raised the levels of, such as『Search』and『Threat Detection』.

Certainly, after a certain time, I had become able to sense the presence of monsters, but I had merely thought that it was because I had grown accustomed to battle.

…besides, why was the skill that I didn’t intend on using,『Charm』, the highest leveled one.

When I secretly looked around, everyone else was similarly surprised, so they probably leveled up without knowing it.

「Have you finished checking it? Well then, let’s go out to the back.」

Pointing her thumb outside, it seems that Noa-san was a little uncommunicative, as expected.

From her gesture, it would only be seen as us being called out to the back of the gymnasium.

If it were Kurou-san doing this, wouldn’t it be the case of giving a one-time report….

Nonetheless, there was barely any explanation and it was as if I could see the question marks floating above everyone’s heads.

「Wh, what are you going to do?」

Fortunately, the only one who knew her, Zeal-san, called out to her.

How should I say this, it seems that we would incur Noa-san’s anger no matter what we said.

It might’ve just been my imagination, but even so, it’s been said to let sleeping dogs lie.

It’s the same with Kurou-san being in a dreadful mood even if you didn’t do anything, the parent and child were both unnecessarily overbearing.

What in the world did we do.

「What you ask, I’ll turn these guys into punching bags. Since, judging from appearances, the hero this time seems weak. It’s unbelievable that they can’t withstand the attacks of ‘Usako No.11’.」

Punching bag.

If what she meant was what I was thinking, then our lives may soon be in danger.

In the corner of my eye, I could see Zeal-san’s mouth stiffening.

Rather, the word “punching bag” existed in this world as well, huh.

Occasionally, I became worried about the translations of the skill『Language Comprehension』.

Be that as it may, as one would expect, it might be hard for the young girl with arms that were thin like twigs to be our opponent, so the one going up against us might be that robot we fought before.

This time, I wanted to try destroying it completely.

That, was what I thought in earnest.

However, the robot was not there in the slightly open area behind the building, and it was the Gothic Lolita clothing-wearing Noa-san who crooked her finger in provocation at us who readied our weapons.

「Eh, is Noa-san going to be our opponent?」

She turned her sharp gaze towards me who thoughtlessly said this.

Darn it, perhaps I flipped some kind of switch.

「Aah, of course I’ll be your opponent. Is there a problem?」

Looking at that gorgeous smile, who would think that she was a combatant.

Or rather, could she actually fight?

「Wouldn’t it be dangerous?」

「Maa, even if that weren’t the case, it seems quite cowardly for the larger side to have weapons and the smaller side to be barehanded when multiple people go against one person.」

At Nanase-kun and Tsuda-kun’s words, Zeal-san opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

However, it seems that he was a bit too late.

In the next instant, the two people’s bodies went flying into the air, and crashed into a tree far away.

「…eh?」

Before I realized it, Noa-san was standing at the place where the two people had been, with her fist in the air.

We, as well as Zeal-san who looked up at the sky, stared at her, dumbfounded.

「Did you think that I was a noncombatant? It would be best if you commit this to memory. In the demon territory, weak people die. Don’t judge people by their appearances.」

As one would expect, we all seriously readied our weapons towards Noa-san who said this with a grim face.

And then, we lost consciousness.

Several days had passed since then, and I was relieved from the bottom of my heart when Akira arrived after I woke up, having fainted five times that day.

I might’ve been more relieved that the number of Noa-san’s opponents had increased than Akira and the others safely passing through this dangerous forest.

Of course, we had also hoped that they would get revenge for us who were completely unable to dodge her attacks.
