We arrived at the carriage, which was located at the outskirts of our village. It wasn't just us there, since this carriage alone had to go through about 50 villages in search for future talents. I walk up to the the Tester.
'Ah shit, gotta act like a normal dude...'
"Euhm, Mrs.Tester? When will we arrive at the capital?" (Me)
'*gag*'
"Oh you can just call me Joanna. We will probabaly arrive in about 2 weeks, since this is the last village we had to go through." (Joanna)
'What do you think, Screeny?'
----------------------------------------
Hmmm, good question. Face 7.5/10, Body 7/10 and cuteness 7/10. Not Heroine material.
----------------------------------------
'You think so too, huh?'
I put my hand on Joannas shoulder.
"I'm sorry, you were not chosen by him. Maybe in your next life." (Me)
"Why are you looking at me like I'm a pitiable person? Hey, stop it." (Joanna)
I turn around and search for my sister. While scanning the area, I find something interesting.
'Oh? Screeny, are you seeing what I'm seeing?'
----------------------------------------
A hooded girl with an athletic body, which could be rated 9.5/10?
----------------------------------------
'Exactly. Damn, I want to know what her face looks like. But if I just pull her hood off, it'll be a bad start for the route.'
----------------------------------------
You do still remember that this is a magic world right?
----------------------------------------
'But it's a hassle... nah, I know another way to do it. But that will come later.'
At last, the last person, who happens to be Aline, arrives and we start our journey to the capital.
'Okay Screeny, here's a prize question. What always happens, the first time the MC leaves his starter village on a cariage?'
----------------------------------------
OH! OH! I KNOW THAT! It's of course the Bandit-event!
----------------------------------------
'WE HAVE A WINNER!!!'
----------------------------------------
What do I get?
----------------------------------------
'........you're a screen, I can't even give you anything...'
----------------------------------------
YOU KNOW, I WANT TO BE SOMETIMES TREATED LIKE A NORMAL PERSON TOO!
----------------------------------------
'If you're a normal person, then we can talk about it.'
----------------------------------------
(ಥ﹏ಥ)
----------------------------------------
I sit between my sister and Aline. In front of us is the hooded beauty. I'm enhancing my senses, so I can see the bandit attack coming and won't be surprised about it.
'Here it comes.'
A devilish grin appears on my face, unknown to me. I put both my hands on my sisters and Alines head respectively.
"Don't be afraid about what comes in a few minutes. You won't be harmed."
I blink on a nearby tree. I see all the other children, except of the hooded beauty, freaking out because of me disappearing. I follow the carriage by jumping from tree to tree and after 5 minutes, the bandits reveal themselves. They number about 50, which outnumbers our guards by a huge amount.
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
"Oh? What do we have here? A few brats and some magicians on a trip? But to pass here, you have to pay a fee." (Bandit No.1)
'Really now? Why does every stereotype in this world know exactly what the most cliché phrase is at the given moment?'
"Wha- what do you want?" (Joanna)
"You shouldn't talk like that, missy. You've hurt my feelings! I think only a night with a beautiful woman such as yourself can cure it." (Bandit No. 2)
'Okay it's getting ridiculous now! Screeny, please tell me they have something like a script and aren't just saying that on their own!'
----------------------------------------
Nope, no script here!
----------------------------------------
'God dammit...'
Joanna looks at the bandits in fear, but you can see how she moves her hands for a spell to form.
The bandits surround the carriage and you can feel the bloodlust coming from their eyes.
"Only over my dead Body!" (Unneeded person #1 who will probably die soon)
'Yep, he's gonna die.'
----------------------------------------
He ded
----------------------------------------
The battle starts. The guards are getting overwhelmed by sheer numbers, even though they are obviously better trained. I watch over the battlefield from the top of a tree and look out for anyone who could harm one of my Heroines.
'And you are gonna get a knife! And you are gonna get a knife! And you are gonna get a knife! Aaaand you are gonna get a knife! Everyone is gonna get a kniiiiiffeee!!! Why am I imitating a black woman from a talk show?'
While I was busy immobilising the bandits, one bandit makes his way towards the hooded beauty from behind. She was able to defend herself until now, but she doen't seem to have enough battle experience to dodge a sneak attack from behind.
'I guess this is my time to shine.'
----------------------------------------
That's one small step for man, but one gigantic leap for the harem route.
----------------------------------------
I prepare myself to intervene with whatever the bandit is trying to do. He pushes her on the ground.
"Kyaaa!" (Hooded Girl)
The hood of the girl falls off and I can finally see her face for the first time.
'FUCK!'
----------------------------------------
I WON BITCH HAHA!
----------------------------------------
Under her hood, she hid her elven ears. Blonde, long hair swayed down her shoulders like a waterfall of gold and her eyes shone like emeralds.
'YOU CHEATED!'
----------------------------------------
I ain't cheatin at nuthin
----------------------------------------
'YOU ARE THE SYSTEM! YOU CHEATED!'
----------------------------------------
I'll try to think of what I'll be wishing for, meanwhile you should help that girl. Or else she will be raped right here on the battlefield.
----------------------------------------
'OH SHIT!'
I clap in my hands and Lightning steps activates. The advantage of using Lightning step is, that I can carry a person with me. That doesn't work with blink since I have to become Lightning for a fragment of a second to teleport.
I jump down from the tree with my goal being the elven beauty.
'I'M BATMAN!'
I sprint towards the elven beauty and sweep her away from her position under the bandit.
"Hyah!" (Elven beauty)
"What the-" (Bandit No. 3)
I take her into a princess carry and distance myself from the bandit.
'At this point I could put her down, but where would be the intrigue in that?'
The bandit stands up, with his dick hanging half out of his pants.
'He wouldn't even have reached her hymen with such a tiny dick... no wonder he has to force another woman to get some...'
----------------------------------------
lol
----------------------------------------
The bandit pulls out his shortsword and I get ready for battle.
'He's not gonna put his dick away, is he?'
----------------------------------------
Maybe he enjoys the freedom? Or maybe that's his second dagger lol.
----------------------------------------
The bandit charges at me and I dodge by stepping to the side like a matador. He tries to stop but I kick him from behind and he loses his balance. I let a knife fall out of my inventory and kick it with "Lightning step" in direction of the bandit. It lands right in his face and he dies instantly.
'That was the first time I killed a person...'
I think about how I feel and realise there was only one thing I could do at such a moment. I smiled like always.
I let the Elf down and quickly hide my smile.
'Incubus' Eye'
My contracted ability activates. The Elf looks at me with slightly red cheeks, but quickly regains her composure since she saw that the battle wasn't over yet.
'WHICH CUNT INTERFERES WITH OUR FIRST MEETING?!'
I pull out my trusty knives and throw them at every single bandit who was in my sight, not caring anymore if they died or survived. This was a decisive blow against the bandits and the battle ended.
Every single survivors gaze was fixed on me.
"Stop staring, you're embarrassing me."
I try to say while blushing and bringing out my cute side.
'Why is no one fazed by my cute side?'
----------------------------------------
You ugly
----------------------------------------
'Nah, they're probably just too overwhelmed to even move. Yeah, that's it.'
While everyone was just staring, the elven beauty made her way towards me.
"Thank you for saving me... and my... chastity. If there's any way how I can repay you, I will do anything within my power." (Elven beauty)
Somehow she managed to say these intriguing words with a calm voice, befitting a beauty like her.
'Screeny? You know what the best answer is in such a situation, right?'
----------------------------------------
GET HER BOY!
----------------------------------------
"Okay, then please tell me your name." (Me)
The elf looks at me surprised.
"I mean really anything! You could order me to do the same things, which that bandit wanted to do to me and I would still agree!" (Elven beauty)
'Why are her cheeks flushed and her breathing so heavy?'
"But I only want to know your name..." (Me)
"Tch" (Elven beauty)
'WHY DIDN'T IT WORK SCREENY?! AND WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE SHE'S DISAPPOINTED?!'
----------------------------------------
Oh boy, we got another one of those here...
