Let me be a mob! - Chapter 65- Caught in the trap?
[Rena’s POV:]
“I should have already been aware of this…”
I heard Jin saying those words but my focus was not currently on him, but rather on Silvie whose stomach was impaled with a poison-coated dagger. I was supporting her back as she healed herself, meanwhile, Jin stood before us while facing the group of three.
One of them was the bespectacled shithead Vice-President who was grinning madly at Jin with his bitchy eyes filled with ecstasy.
It turned out that the person we were considering the President Amanda was a shape-shifting criminal and before we could have reacted, another person launched a series of attacks, in which Silvie got hurt.
“You know nothing about my Amanda. She’s not someone who would take this tedious carriage in the first place.” (Phil)
Someone on Amanda’s level whose teleportation was probably nearing Professor Lisa’s rank, would of course choose to directly reach the Dungeon City without minding the rules. She’s the kind of person whom I admire since breaking rule is like breathing for her and taking her potential into account, the headmaster has remained slightly loose on this subject as well.
But to think that this shapeshifter pink-haired bitch would be able to escape all of our observations and could pretend to be Amanda such masterfully…
Wait…more than us, the council members should have known her character so realizing that there was a fake Amanda along them in the carriage shouldn’t have been difficult to recognize for the Treasurer and the Adviser of the council.
Which meant…they are involved in this as well.
‘I hope Aiden doesn’t fall for their trap…’
“I am fine now, Rena. Go support him.”
I nodded toward Silvie before I helped her get up. The three jokers across us were still grinning wildly as if something incredibly good has transpired.
‘I really want to punch square his face right now…’
Taking out my daggers, I growled with my gaze fixated on the glasses and a deep urge rising dangerously.

[Jin’s POV:]
“You know harming us here would hamper you dearly as well, right?”
Despite I sounded casual, I was a bit apprehensive from inside since not mine alone but three other lives were on my account. If it was only me then I would have found some route to flee from this situation but now, there was no escape.
The pink-haired woman on the right holds the skill of shapeshifting and was at least in the middle tier of D-rank and the stance she held expressed her experience in the field. The man on the other side, was at the lower end of the C-rank, and equally cautious of his surrounding despite how casually he tried to act.
The long battle axe suited well to his broad build and the slim sword was perfectly fitting for the thin pinkette.
In the middle stood the B-rank Vice-president and currently in the students unit, he’s the eighth strongest person to face. In terms of raw mana, we were equally matched but when it comes to battle experience…well, I surpass him on that account as well.
“Oh, don’t put your concern into that since even if I get rusticated, without any insect in my way, I would be able to court Amanda after graduation as well.”
You could have done that without meddling with me as well…but well.
“So now what? We fight?”
Rena whispered with her voice growing excited and the grip over her weapon seemingly couldn’t get any more steadier.
I eyed my premise once before smirking and commanding the raging bull to go onslaught.
“Yeah. ”

[Third person POv: ]
Only a single word left Jin’s throat before the two figures disappeared from the sight in thin blue, carrying explosive speed in their limbs and their target already preset.
Rena took up the pink head on the left, her daggers masterfully twirling in her grip as slashed the throat of her opponent, only to realize that her blade passed by thin air. Rena anticipated such, before she lifted her other dagger to stab just behind her back without locating her eyes on the target.
“Hoho~you are smart… “Being praised by her opponent never felt good since what Rena wanted to hear was the sound of her blade piercing the ambusher’s muscles, however, her dagger was caught in between the pinkette’s palms.
Since Rena’s center is gravity toward her back she didn’t wait before launching a back kick toward the other one’s stomach which was easily dodged, but because of that Rena got her daggers free of restraint.
Despite not having her skill in use due to the unavailability of sun, Rena was handling herself excellently
She didn’t ponder the next course of action, rather she chose to act and twirled on her heel to once again pierce the opponent, this time her brains out.
“Not so fast… ”
However the pink haired wasn’t a naive woman but a trained criminal who had no difficulty tilting her head backward slightly before she took hold of Rena’s wrist in a swift manner that Rena wasn’t able to react properly.
The pink-haired goon was also strong on her feet so she pulled Rena close to herself, took hold of the brunette’s collar, and kicked Rena’s unbalanced leg with strong force.
Rena lost her balance easily because of the sudden set of attacks before she found herself arching in the air and soon she would feel strong pain from the impact.
‘Like hell…!! ‘
Rena’s body surged with mana before she defied physics and halted herself just perpendicular to her opponent, much to the latter’s bewilderment.
Rena held back the pink-haired’s hand before she propelled herself downward, her legs joined and additional force was provided by gravity.
The older one’s eyes widened and a sense of urgency rose dangerously but it was too late as a mind-numbing sensation planted on her mouth and nose, and the print of Rena’s shoes printed over her face.
However as the ambusher thought, she didn’t fly over more than a meter before her body began to float.
Rena was also bewildered since her strategy to assault the pink-haired bitch with her dagger also abruptly came to a halt.
Turning her head to the right, Rena concluded the reason for such unexpected development.
“Seriously….how short their battle lasted… ”
Jin was standing there…over the lifeless body of his opponent…

A/N: – I hope the fight scene didn’t bore you. I don’t plan on writing action often but sometimes it gets unavoidable.
