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

A Flash that Cuts Through the Darkness

When Genesis effortlessly dodged Bard’s attack mid-air, the surroundings fell silent.

Bard has a shocked expression on his face.

“It seems like it’s time to finish this.”

I said so arrogantly.

However, in my heart, I can only think of one thing.

―I’m glad I learned my [Space] magic.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let’s go back a few weeks earlier.

“Hah…seriously, what should I do? Magic…”

Around the same time I started honing my Mob-style combat technique with Enrique, I received an assignment from the beautiful Carla-sensei, who looks like a complete seductress in her Chinese cheongsam with the chest area cut out.

“Please think of a magic which is related with your attribute [Space].”

Carla-sensei told me so.

“In the case of extradimensional magic, there aren’t proper learning methods, so it strongly depends on individual imagination. Therefore, please think about it. Come up with the most outstanding magic that you think you’d want to use.”

I see. My attribute is [Space].

In other words, it’s a completely mysterious attribute with no theories or rules at all.

So, Carla-san probably told me to think freely and come up with any magic I like.

However,

“Magic, huh…”

I was struggling to think of a magic at the mansion.

Of course, I’ve played ‘Last Aca’, so I can make full use of my knowledge from it. If I wanted to, I could just a plagiarize the final boss’s unique [Space] magic and submit it as ‘my own idea’. I could even use such an absurdly powerful magic since childhood.

But is it really necessary to learn such a strong magic in the first place?

―the stronger the magic, the better.

This has become common knowledge. Second rank is better than the first, and third rank is better than the second…everyone thinks that way.

But I didn’t really feel like making full use of my knowledge from the game.

Because,

The strength of the enemies in the latter half of ‘Last Aca’ is seriously insane…

That’s right.

‘Last Aca’ becomes harder and harder as it progresses towards the latter half.

For example, in the beginning, you might be excited about first-rank or second-rank magic, but in the end, you can learn up to tenth-rank magic.

The spell [Fireball] is really famous as a first-class magic.

A fantasy magic where someone fires a ball of flame towards the enemy.

However, things suddenly take a suspicious turn from here.

As you progress to the tenth-rank class magics, they become extraordinarily powerful.

For example, here are some tenth-rank magics that I can quickly recall:

- - - [Final War of Annihilation/Armageddon]

- - - [The Malevolent Star of The Dawn That Pierces the Sky/Meteor Rain]

- - - [Paradise Fall/Fall of Eden]

- - - [Eternal Madness Millenium Empire/Eternal Desire]

- - - [Unfulfilled Dream/Blind Eye]

And much more.

…that’s right.

From the names of the magics, you can probably understand.

Certainly, in the game, I was genuinely enjoying myself.

I would get excited as I learn high-rank magics.

However,

Even if I can learn powerful magic, can I actually cast it?

By the way, among all of the magics that I mentioned, the scariest one is probably [The Malevolent Star of The Dawn That Pierces the Sky/Meteor Rain].

Meteors fly across the entire sky, turning everything, including surrounding enemies, into ashes in an instant. It’s a wonderfully exhilarating magic. It is so powerful that it brings tears to your eyes.

“No, that is impossible…”

Then, [Space] magic.

For instance, one of the spells that the final boss unleashes within his first move is,

[Hyperdimensional Exile/Dimension Slave]

The description of the magic goes something like this,

‘Inflict maximum damage on the designated target. Banish to the Hyperdimension, for a thousand years.’

……!?!?!?

I definitely don’t need a spell like that.

My knowledge of the game is utterly useless.

Why is this game full of powerful mages running rampant?

It’s just too much.

For an 18+ game, it makes no sense at all.

‘Ugh, the person next to me is annoying. I know! Should I banish them to the Hyperdimension for a thousand years!

Is there really someone like that in this world who thinks like that?

Even though I’m trying to stay inconspicuous with my mob fighting style, it’s meaningless if I stand out with my magic.

I thought desperately.

“Not just for combat…but something like…a magic that can be useful in everyday life…”

That’s right.

The final boss’ magic is just too powerful, there is no need for me to learn that kind of magic.

On the other hand, developing a perverted magic like Ultos did in the original story doesn’t sound like a bad idea. No, no, how can I bring myself to tell Carla-san that I developed a perverted magic for her assignment.

The only magic that seems useful and easy to use is the protagonist’s space magic.

In the story, Sieg eventually be able to use space magic that deploys a large barrier to protect allies. However, it seems like it would take an absurdly long time to master.

I want a magic that’s more practical…something I can use right away, simple and inconspicuous, and yet, it would be helpful in the future, not only in battles, but also in my everyday life.

I pondered for several days, and finally, I got the answer.

That is—

A few days later, I proudly told Carla-san.

“I’m thinking of creating walls in the space.”

“Walls?”

Carla-san looked puzzled.

The protagonist’s space magic which deploys large barriers to protect allies, is really difficult to master.

In the game it requires a lot of experience points to learn.

So, I thought, what if it were smaller?

In other words, let’s assume that creating a large barrier is difficult.

Then, why not create a wall locally to block the attacks?

There is no need to deploy a huge barrier that defend my whole body.

“B-But…are you sure with that kind of magic? It sounds kind of… boring.”

Carla-sensei asked me so.

“Of course!”

I immediately answered with a smile.

“I think it’s practical and useful.”

“I-Is that so…”

Surprisingly, I managed to master it quickly.

I managed to create a translucent wall about 30cm in size. It is solid enough to serve as a footing, but it only lasts for about 3 seconds.

After 3 seconds, it fades away.

For some reason, even though I’m satisfied with it, Carla-sensei looked at me with a worried expression on her face.

Yeah, it’s really useful. I can create something like a platform mid-air when something is out of reach.

What I want is just to peacefully live my life as a mob character.

Those insane battles are not my responsibility; the protagonist should handle those.

And, what’s more,

―this handy wall magic surprisingly has excellent compatibility with my mob-style combat technique.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now, let’s go back to the present.

“—it looks like a step is enough.”

When I say so, Bard looks stunned.

“You bastard, don’t mess with me!!!”

Just like before, Bard charges towards me.

I also approach Bard again, crossing swords.

“What kind of trick did you use!? My shadow magic…!”

With Bard’s command, the shadow, like a snake, crawls around Bard’s body, blocking my attacks

Indeed, what an impressive magic.

―however,

“It seems like it’s time to finish this. [Deploy].”

“Hah?”

Once again, I jumped into the air using my convenient wall magic, I stepped on the platform I created mid-air.

Continuing at full speed, I accelerate and change direction mid-air.

A trajectory and movement that would be impossible for an ordinary person.

And then, the next moment, I’m right behind Bard in an instant.

With my sword, I slash upward.

“Ugh!! [Shadow].”

Bard’s shadow blocked my attack again.

The next split second, the shadow aim for a counterattack.

However, at that moment, I have already leaped in a different direction, stepping on another platform I created in mid-air.

“No way!!!”

When Bard turns around, I’m already approaching him from a different direction.

I once again deliver a slashing attack against Bard.

What I’m doing is really simple.

I just create platforms mid-air, accelerate by stepping on them with my physically enhanced legs.

Then attack from a direction where the opponent’s defence is weak.

I see.

Magic that can defend and attack at the caster’s command, changing its form at will.

It’s certainly convenient and powerful.

However, if you can’t catch up, it’s all over.

—in short, all I need to do is attack Bard at a speed that he can’t catch up.

The rest is just repeating the same thing.

No matter how much attacks the shadow can block, there are limits because of the person controlling it.

Accelerate and slash.

Accelerate, slash. Accelerate, slash. Accelerate, slash. Accelerate, slash. Accelerate, slash. Accelerate, slash. Accelerate, slash. Accelerate, slash. Accelerate, slash. Accelerate, slash. Accelerate, slash. Accelerate, slash. Accelerate, slash. Accelerate, slash. Accelerate, slash.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“N-No way…”

Iris can’t believe her own eyes.

In terms of quality, Bard’s shadow magic is superior. Iris had never seen such an excellent magic before.

However, Genesis is trying to defeat Bard with his incredible speed and overwhelming him by his number of attacks.

The masked man is flying freely in the air.

Moreover,

“B-Beautiful…”

Iris can’t help but exclaim in admiration.

At this point, Bard’s defence can no longer keep up.

Like peeling off thin layers, the defence of Bard’s shadow magic is coming off.

And then, an opening.
