Scum-lesse Oblige, I Have Been Reincarnated as a Scum Villain in an 18+ Game World, and I Absolutely Want to Grasp the Mob Life with the Power of My Knowledge of the Original Story - Chapter 17

In The End, Amateurs Can be Really Scary

The protagonist collapses in front of me.

“Alright.”

I gently embrace his body.

“The protagonist is indeed frightening…”

While looking up vaguely at the night sky, I remembered our fierce battle earlier.

In the original story, the bandits who defeat Seig-kun disrespects him during and after the battle.

However, I can’t possibly do that such thing.

I try to be as polite and friendly as possible.

After all, Seig-kun will be our saviour, the future hero.

The game ‘Last Aca’ is well known for its difficulty.

Especially, the second half of the game is extremely brutal.

In the later stages of the game, you will need combat skills on par with S-rank adventurers just to barely keep up.

Even renowned S-rank adventurers won’t be able to do anything against the late game bosses.

By the way, in this game that’s already brutally difficult, there are many ways where you can end up with a game over due to Scumtos’ annoying actions.

This caused some controversy online with comments like,

‘I know it’s just a game character, but I can’t stand this one. He is truly annoying.’

…w-well, that aside, our beloved protagonist, Seig-kun, is able to survive this harsh medieval fantasy world because of his top-class mentality.

He is truly incredible.

Because ‘Last Aca’ is an adult rated game, you can engage in various explicit activities with the main heroines.

However, if you get caught two-timing by a yandere heroine, she will threaten you with a knife to choose between them.

Our protagonist is the kind of person who can just nonchalantly say,

‘Well, I like the both of you.’

Of course, the players are seriously taken aback.

Eh, is this really okay?

The players wonder.

It is obvious that the knife is about to stab him, but the protagonist just calmly said so.

What a top-class mentality.

Also, while Sieg-kun doesn’t have many distinguishing features in the early stages of the game compared to other characters, the protagonist will become stronger as you progress into the later stages of the game.

Ultimately, once he awakens his strength, he will be able to defeat an S-rank adventurer with only using one hand, which makes no sense at all.

“Well then.”

I can’t just leave the future hero lying around here, so I look for a place where he can sleep well.

I wander around looking for a place that seems nice and comfy.

Come to think of it…

“…it was quite scary at the end.”

Honestly, I was quite optimistic.

My physical abilities—Ultos’ physical abilities are quite high.

On top of that, I’ve trained with Enrique for quite some time now.

So, I thought I wouldn’t need to use magic to beat Seig-kun.

Magic is like a kind of booster.

By channelling my mana to enhance my physique, my combat abilities can increase significantly.

Seig-kun is just a mere villager who aspires to be a hero.

That’s why I didn’t plan on using magic against him.

But in the end, I couldn’t help but use magic to enhance my physique to dodge Seig-kun’s last attack.

—bloodshot, beastly eyes.

Those are the eyes of a warrior.

At the very least, that was not a gaze a common village kid should have.

In the story, the protagonist is like a true berserker.

The more he is cornered in battle, the stronger he becomes.

Just like the fight we had earlier.

…yeah.

To be honest, it was quite a close call.

If I had taken that punch and lost consciousness, I would have probably beaten to a pulp by him.

Just thinking about it sends a shiver down my spine.

As expected of the protagonist.

Even with the privilege of being born into a prestigious noble family, it’s quite concerning how easily he can make me break into a cold sweat.

“Maybe around here is fine.”

I finally find a spot that looks like a tree stump.

I gently lay Sieg-kun there.

For a moment, I gaze at the cute face of the young boy in silence.

By the way, in ‘Last Aca’ you can choose a female protagonist as well, but the appearance hardly changes.

If you decide to choose a female protagonist, you’ll just have a typical friendly relationship with the main heroines.

Because of that, most of the players prefer the male protagonist, Seig.

Seig-kun is sleeping soundly.

“With this much talent, he still has a long way to go.”

That’s right.

If you look at this world from the perspective of ‘magic’, people can be divided into three categories.

1. 1. 1. 1. Those without magic (Seig-kun)

1. 1. 1. 1. Those who can use magic but can’t use spells. (Enrique, the worthless mayor, etc)

1. 1. 1. 1. Those who can use magic and learn spells through formal education, mainly from aristocratic class. (me, Iris, etc.)

That is the general idea.

By the way, the concept of ‘Extradimensional Magic’ is an exception among those 3 categories…well, let’s just leave that aside for now.

In essence, it’s nearly impossible to change one’s mana in this world.

Because magic is innate.

That’s how it works in this world, a natural law.

However, there are monsters that can transcend this law.

No need to hide it, one of those monsters is none other than Seig-kun.

Remarkably, because of this incident, Seig starts to learn how to increase his mana by depleting and amplifying his own mana using the knowledge he learns from the travellers he encounters.

If a mage in this world were to hear about his crazy practices, they will react with utter bewilderment thinking,

‘Eh? Is he trying to kill himself?’

Of course, despite his efforts, Seig still can’t master the art of converting mana into actual magic spells.

As a result, he becomes a villager who is nothing short of a monster in terms of having exceptionally high mana, yet being completely unable to use spells.

“…no.”

Looking at it again, it’s crazy.

Amateurs are truly terrifying.

Even I asked Carla-san about it once,

‘Can I increase my mana by depleting and amplifying it?’

‘W-What are you talking about!? That method is suicidal! I’ll help you with anything, I’ll listen to you whenever you want to talk, I’ll always be by your side when things get though…!!! So please, don’t attempt such reckless things…!!!’

Carla-san said so with tears in her eyes.

That clearly shows how dangerous that kind of training is.

I have completely underestimated this insane amateur who I absolutely must not make an enemy of.

Then, I begin walking towards the direction of Haven Village.

Those thieves that I defeated should be a bit further ahead.

However, just thinking back to the battle earlier makes me embarrassed.

“I got carried away and said embarrassing things out loud…”

I got completely carried away at the end of the battle and said such an embarrassing phrase out loud.

‘Sleep, future hero.’

Ughhh, why did I do that.

I wonder if I blurted out those Chuunibyou words because I was taken aback by the protagonist’s strength.

Or perhaps it’s because I’ve been hanging out with Enrique quite a lot lately?

With these thoughts in mind, I head towards the unconscious thieves that I have defeated
