Becoming a Shadow in the New World

He wasn't just saying that casually. Although he was completely confused and didn't know what was going on, he had still figured it out to some extent.

Let me first share some current information. The reason why Nagatsuki-chan and Tsubaki-hime told her not to go out at night is most likely because of these two people in front of her. With the strength to defeat the A-rank Yukina Himeragi in three rounds, telling her not to go out is an understatement.

However, he was certain that these two had been set up. Not to mention that the management commune and Natsuki-chan had already received the news before they made their move, they had been fighting for so long, so why hadn't anyone come yet?

He figured this place wasn't that remote. Theoretically, with Natsuki-chan's spatial magic, these two would probably have been thrown into prison before Himeragi Yukina arrived.

They even went to the monastery openly and weren't discovered. Do you believe they weren't tricked and deliberately pretended not to see anything?

That's why he said they were covered in a spider web, and the reason he said they were killing each other was just a random excuse to save Yukina Himeragi.

He felt that Yukina Himeragi simply wanted to be a champion of justice, but unfortunately, she ran into this couple.

Seeing that Rudolf was preparing to fight desperately, Sid quickly told them to leave. Looking at Rudolf's confusion and doubt, Sid could only express his helplessness. He really had no interest in defeating Rudolf here.

Putting aside the fact that this scene doesn't seem to have reached its climax yet, the fact that he defeated Rudolf has ruined his image as a Shadow Warrior.

To reiterate, Shadow-level users are not good people, nor are they champions of justice. A Shadow-level user would never see someone being schemed against and then suddenly decide to rescue them. A Shadow-level user would simply join in with enthusiasm and treat the situation as a source of amusement.

Yes, he doesn't know the full picture right now, but that doesn't stop him from pretending to know everything. He's a shadowy figure watching the show from the audience's perspective, and being a riddle-maker is the way to go.

Since the island's management doesn't care about the damage, why should he care so much?

After watching Rudolf and Astarothie leave, Sid turned back and looked down at the unconscious Yukina Himeragi, the slime liquid on his body shrinking back into his body.

Now... what should we do?

He had a clear view from high above; people had been evacuated, but he hadn't seen a single guard nearby…

There's definitely a conspiracy going on. The criminals are all gone, but the guards haven't arrived. They're even worse than the guards in the mystery anime he's seen on TV.

Judging from the amount of blood loss, by the time the guards arrive, they will only find a corpse that is probably already cold.

So... he's the only one who can save her. Since he's already saved her, he doesn't mind spending a little more magic power.

He crouched down and placed his palm on the unconscious Yukina Himeragi's cheek, condensing blue magic power in his hand.

Its appearance caused the magical power of atmospheric tremors to transform into specks of light and electricity, which gradually merged into Himeragi Yukina's body, causing her constantly bleeding wounds to heal rapidly.

"Senior!"

As her injuries seemed to be healing, Yukina Himeragi, who had been unconscious, regained a sliver of consciousness. With her blurry vision, she saw Sid and subconsciously called him "senpai".

In that instant, the magic within Sid stopped flowing for a second.

In that instant, Sid shifted from a squatting position to a half-kneeling one, placing the hand that had been on Himeragi Yukina's cheek onto her wound.

In that instant, the quality of the magic that could distort space and blur vision simply by existing plummeted, becoming no different from that of ordinary magic.

In that instant, Sid's previously calm and composed face underwent a dramatic change, filled with anxiety, unease, and worry. It wouldn't be surprising if he burst into tears the next second.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Roland Augusta

Feeling warmth in the darkness, he barely regained consciousness. With difficulty, he lifted his body, which felt heavy due to massive blood loss. Through his blurred vision, he could only see a figure. This figure was... his senior!

Himeragi Yukina's previously dazed mind seemed to have been struck, instantly clearing her head, and she subconsciously tried to stand up.

"Senior, what are you doing here... um!"

Before she could finish speaking, a feeling of weakness washed over her, causing her body, which had just stood up due to the shock, to collapse.

As the ground drew ever closer, Himeragi Yukina instinctively closed her eyes, channeling the spiritual energy within her body—which was practically nonexistent after the fierce battle—to her vital organs in an attempt to minimize the risk of further injury.

Just as she was about to fall to the ground, a hand caught her as she fell.

"Xuecai, thank goodness, you're awake! How are you feeling? Is there anything wrong? I'll take you to the hospital right away."

When she opened her eyes again, she saw a face filled with tension, unease, and worry.

Sid caught her just as she was about to fall to the ground. Now Sid is supporting her with his right hand and holding her Snow Wolf in his left.

"No...no need, senior. You don't need to take me to the hospital. Just take me away from here."

Her chaotic mind managed to sort out her thoughts. It seemed that Teacher Jian had let her go and left for some reason. Senior Sid was probably worried that she had left suddenly, so he followed her and found her lying on the ground.

Although Yukina Himeragi didn't know why the teachers hadn't killed her, she quickly asked Sid to take her away from there to avoid the teachers suddenly changing their minds and coming back to kill her, as it was too dangerous for them to stay there.

"This won't do. You've lost so much blood. You can't go to the hospital without going."

Looking at Sid's furrowed brows and anxious face, which showed his concern for her, Himeragi Yukina could only smile helplessly to herself.

Senior is indeed a good person.

But she really doesn't need to go to the hospital now. She just sensed her body and realized that she had suffered considerable injuries before she lost consciousness, but now they have all disappeared for some reason.

She couldn't even sense the injury, so what would a hospital find out? It would only be a waste of time and expose her identity as the Lion King's Sword Witch. What she needed now was rest or medicine to restore her spiritual power, and she had such medicine at home.

Feeling Sid's hand tightly holding her shoulder, Himeragi Yukina could sense Sid's concern for her. In her current state, let alone resisting Sid-senpai, she was afraid she would fall down after taking a few steps on her own.

and so……

With barely enough strength, he focused intently on maintaining his balance, making sure he wouldn't fall over immediately, and placed both hands on Sid's shoulders.

With a forceful pull of both hands, Sid, seemingly worried about hurting Himeragi Yukina, did not resist and allowed Himeragi Yukina to pull him in front of her, their eyes meeting.

Both of them could see each other's eyes, and their own reflection in those eyes.

"Senior, believe me, I won't joke with my own life. Take me home, I have medicine at home."

Gazing at her reflection in Sid's eyes, Yukina Himeragi felt her heart beating a little fast.

To be honest, she didn't know if the action was effective.

She usually does this to her roommate, Sayaka Kirasaka, at the Lion King Organization. According to Sayaka Kirasaka, this makes it easier for people to see the sincerity in her eyes and persuade others. She doesn't know if it will work for anyone other than Sayaka Kirasaka this first time.

A speechless expression appeared on Sid's face, but it lasted for less than half a second before he looked at her with a bewildered expression, making Himeragi Yukina wonder if she was hallucinating because of her weakness.

In Yukina Himeragi's eyes, Sid looked at her and thought for a few seconds before finally gritting his teeth, squatting down with his back to her, and speaking.

"Come on up, Yukina, where do you live?"

"Thank you, Senior."

After giving the address, Yukina Himeragi lay on Sid's back, watching the scenery around her flash by, knowing that Sid had already used magic to travel.

Feeling the warmth on Sid's back, as they left the dangerous area, her tense nerves relaxed, and waves of drowsiness washed over her, making her eyelids grow heavier.

-

Seeing that Himeragi Yukina was already asleep, Sid increased the power of the sleeping magic in his left hand to avoid accidentally waking her up, and then threw her onto his bed.

Yes, on his bed.

Don't get me wrong, he didn't mean to do anything bad. It's just that Himeragi Yukina's house is right next door, but he couldn't find the key in her backpack, so he had no choice but to bring her to his house.

Well, he was lucky; his sister and Alexia didn't block his door. Of course, it's more likely they came to wait but left after not seeing him.

As for taking him to the hospital or something, he was just saying it casually, don't take it seriously.

He knew Himeragi Yukina's current physical condition all too well; apart from the weakness caused by massive blood loss, she was in perfect health.

The blood loss problem can be solved with a good night's sleep. When he was treating Yukina Himeragi, the blood-generating magic was already prepared. If Yukina Himeragi hadn't woken up, there wouldn't even be a problem with blood loss. Now, he can only let Yukina Himeragi sleep and wait for the magic he injected into her body to automatically convert into blood.

Even if we take a step back and assume that Yukina Himeragi really died, we can simply use holy light magic to bring her back to life; she'll be brought back from the dead.

He turned around and took out a note from the drawer, writing down the reason why Himeragi Yukina was at his house. He wanted to stay and take care of Himeragi Yukina, but he had some things to do and had to go out. He could only leave a note explaining the situation.

Following the habit he had developed these past few days, he took out a carton of milk that Ita had given him from the refrigerator and started drinking it.

After finishing the drink, he casually threw the box into the trash can, went to the bathroom, and pulled open the mirror on the sink.

Inside the cabinet behind the mirror, masks were displayed on shelves.

A jet-black magician's mask, a pure white masquerade, a menacing Hannya mask, a human skin mask...

Looking at the masks, Sid smiled with delight, suppressing the urge to rub his hands together like a fly.

He took out a pure white mask and put it on his face. At the same time, slime liquid emanated from his body, covering his body and forming a set of black noble clothes.

The next second, a white thread emerged from the black suit, and soon the thread spread out, turning the jet-black clothing into pure white.

The elegant and mysterious nobleman, Roland Augusta, makes his appearance!

After taking a second look at his clothes, Sid used his magic to speed up the cooking of the porridge in the kitchen, put it in a thermos, and sealed it. He nodded in satisfaction, opened the window, jumped out, and flew into the air towards the outside of Itogami Island.

Chapter Thirty: Heroes Make Their Appearance

On a calm sea, a sound came from a deserted island.

"Sand, sand, sand..."

The sound of shoes scraping against the sand on the beach broke the island's tranquility, a tranquility that was too much, even frightening, even in the darkness of the night and in the deep sea.

"Interesting, Cao Cao. Is this your tuition for today? Do you intend to kill your own teacher?"

The words, brimming with enthusiasm, came from a white-clad nobleman whose entire being exuded elegance.

The man turned his head slightly, his eyes scanning the surroundings. White mist had somehow filled the area, and just standing there, one could feel the dampness.

As Sid's voice echoed around, the deserted island fell silent once more, and no movement was heard in the darkness.

"Ah."

Faced with no response, Sid chuckled and swirled the red wine in the wine glass that had appeared out of nowhere in his hand.
