Reincarnated as a failed hero?! Watch me Defy Fate! - Chapter 139

Chapter 139: A Warning?

Chapter 139: A Warning?

We continued our training.

Now, Milly, Julius, and Marius acted as close-range attackers, while Termina and Aisha took the role of long-range attackers.

I deliberately set up this battle to quickly level up my [Future Sight] skill.

If I wanted to use it in real combat, I needed to master it as soon as possible-it would be a huge advantage.

As we prepared to start, I could feel Milly still radiating an intimidating aura.

It was clear that she seriously wanted to fight me-her own brother.

She must still be mad about the “incident” where I accidentally grabbed Aisha’s chest, who happened to be her best friend.

“I’m going all out this time… Get ready, you perverted brother!” Milly declared as she pointed her rapier at me.

“Umm… Naoki-senpai, I’m not mad about what happened earlier, but Milly insisted on fighting you, so I’ll be helping her!” Aisha said in her usual cute voice.

“HAHAHA!

This is going to be fun!” Marius laughed, preparing to tank my attacks.

Julius and Termina nodded in agreement, readying themselves for battle.

Milly, Marius, and Julius launched a coordinated attack.

Marius initiated with [War Cry], forcing my attention onto him.

When I countered with [Kazekiri], he blocked my attack.

Suddenly, Julius and Milly closed in from the front and behind.

Julius unleashed [Starlight Swordsmanship: Flash Barrage], his latest technique-a flurry of consecutive light-based slashes, further enhanced by [Aura Forced], making them even deadlier.

I barely blocked his strikes when Milly attacked from behind with [Blackmore Swordsmanship: Kurayami no Mai (Dance of the Black Night)], a chaotic yet precise rapier thrusting technique.

With no other choice, I activated [Dark Magic: Veil of the Shadow], summoning a shroud of darkness to absorb and deflect their attacks.

Milly’s thrusts were nullified, but Julius’s strikes shattered my magic barrier, forcing me to counter with [Phantom Slash].

“So, you finally resorted to using that cursed Dark Magic!” Milly shouted at me.

“Haha, looks like we’ve got you cornered, Naoki,” Julius smirked.

“But we’re not done yet.

Termina!

Aisha!” Aisha quickly cast [Nature Magic: Thorn Bind], summoning tree roots to ensnare my legs.

However, thanks to [Future Sight], I predicted it and leaped into the air, twisting my body midair to avoid Termina’s barrage of arrows.

Everyone looked stunned at how effortlessly I dodged their attacks.

“It’s time for me to get serious,” I declared.

I switched my katana to [Kagegiri], a blade manifested from my Dark Magic.

Wielding it granted me +10% attack speed, +15% critical rate, and +25% Dark Magic damage.

This should be enough.

I dashed toward them at high speed, grinning as I provoked them.

“Come on, hit me if you can!” Milly was the first to take the bait, recklessly charging at me.

Julius and Marius quickly followed to support her.

Meanwhile, Termina and Aisha resumed their ranged assault.

Aisha unleashed [Nature Magic: Spiral Thorn], sending high-speed rotating thorns at me, while Termina fired another round of arrows.

I sliced through their spells mid-air, shocking them.

At the same time, I effortlessly dodged and countered the close-range attacks from Milly, Julius, and Marius.

Julius let out an impressed whistle.

“Incredible… At this rate, your speed might even rival Theresia von Stormheim, the Lightning Flash herself.” Hearing that name made Termina’s eyes widen-after all, Theresia was her older sister and one of the fastest swordmasters in the world.

…

I declared with confidence that I would surpass her.

If people compared my speed to Theresia von Stormheim-the Lightning Flash herself-then I had no choice but to go beyond that level.

Activating [Kasoseki 3X], my body felt light as a feather, and my movements became three times faster.

In a split second, I closed the distance between my opponents.

Before they even realized what was happening, I stripped them of their weapons-rapiers, swords, shields, and bows all fell to the ground, clattering loudly against the dirt.

Shock registered on their faces.

Their hands trembled, the sudden impact numbing their grip, making it impossible for them to immediately retaliate.

Only Aisha remained standing, clutching her staff with determination.

For a moment, I considered forcing her to surrender as well.

But I should have known better.

At the perfect moment, she activated her strongest spell- [High Nature Magic: Wrath of the Wild] The same devastating area magic she had unleashed during her duel at Solara Academy.

But this time… it was different.

The spell no longer attacked indiscriminately.

Aisha had mastered it-every vine, every thorn, every creeping root targeted only me.

It was as if the entire forest had come alive, turning against me.

I could barely see through the countless vines and branches surging toward me like a swarm of relentless beasts.

But I didn’t panic.

I had already begun analyzing the erratic attack patterns, predicting their movements, and countering with precise slashes.

Every time a vine lashed toward me-I severed it.

Every time thorns tried to pierce me-I dodged.

But then-a sharp pain burned through my eyes.

Envi’s voice echoed in my mind.

“Naoki, stop!

Your [Future Sight] is running out of time!

If you keep pushing it-” I ignored the warning.

Even as my vision blurred, even as my head ached-I refused to stop.

And that’s when Marius and Julius made their move.

A perfectly coordinated surprise attack.

Marius charged forward with [Iron Slash], his blade glowing with immense power.

Julius followed up with [Starlight Swordsmanship: Nova Breaker], his sword blazing like a falling star, ready to cleave through me.

Damn it, those bastards… I barely had time to react.

I raised my katana, blocking their combined strikes-but the sheer force drove me onto one knee.

They were strong, but I wasn’t about to lose.

I smirked.

“Not bad…

but you’ll have to do better than that.” Summoning my remaining strength, I activated [Aura Forced] and unleashed a counterattack.

[Blackmore Swordsmanship: Dark Aura Katana] A massive surge of dark energy enveloped my blade, turning it into a weapon of pure destruction.

With a single sweeping strike, I repelled both of their attacks.

Julius and Marius were blasted backward, their bodies hitting the ground with a heavy thud.

However, Aisha’s magic was still relentless.

Vines whipped at me from all directions, thorns shot like arrows, roots rose from the ground, trying to entangle me.

Her mana reserves were insanely high-she could keep this up all day.

And just as I prepared to counter her next spell, a familiar voice called out from behind me.

“Take this, you damn perverted brother!

Here’s my new skill-[Blackmore Rapier Style: Ten Piercing Stabs]!” Milly.

She attacked with a technique of her own creation-ten rapid, unpredictable thrusts, each coated in the Blackmore family’s signature dark aura.

I was genuinely impressed.

She had actually listened to my advice about developing a style suited to her natural talent.

“Good job, Milly,” I praised her with a grin.

“But… it’s not enough!” With a single precise strike, I knocked her rapier out of her hands.

Her eyes widened in shock.

And then-she fell.

Aisha gasped, instantly rushing forward to catch her.

But she was too slow.

I had already moved before she could react.

Catching Milly in my arms, I held her princess-style, keeping her safe from harm.

For a moment, she just stared at me, her face turning a deep shade of red.

“…Are you okay, Milly?

There’s no way I’d let you get hurt, haha.” I gently set her down, and she quickly turned away, hiding her flustered expression.

I knew she was trying to act tough, but her face gave everything away.

To make up for teasing her, I apologized and promised to treat her to a meal during the upcoming Academy Graduation ceremony.

As expected, she immediately turned back into her usual tsundere self.

“I-I didn’t ask you to catch me!

Ugh… you’re so stupid, Naoki!

That’s enough training for today!

Aisha, let’s go!

This dumb perverted brother is fine after all!” With that, she stormed off, dragging Aisha with her.

I chuckled, watching them go.

Then, I checked my status notifications- And to my delight- [Future Sight] has leveled up to Level 2.

…

After training ended, Julius, Marius, and Termina praised me for my strength.

I returned the compliment-they had grown much stronger too.

As we sat down to rest, my mind was still buzzing with excitement over my progress.

But just as I exhaled in relief, a sudden notification flashed before my eyes- — [WARNING!!!] A God (???) is interfering with fate!Takahiro Nana is in danger!

Save her immediately!

— My heart nearly stopped.

A God (???) can influence fate?

What the hell is this?!

And worse-he’s forcibly altering the Main Quest?!

Envi’s voice echoed in my mind, filled with disbelief.

“This…

shouldn’t be possible.

Even I didn’t know a god could interfere like this, and beyond Aetheria-on Earth, no less!” I clenched my fists.

This bastard was toying with my fate, with my sister’s life!

I didn’t hesitate-I immediately left my team behind, ignoring their confused calls as I sprinted toward an empty area.

Then, using 50 Goddess Points, I activated teleportation to Earth.

A magic circle appeared beneath me, glowing with an ethereal light as my body dissolved into particles.

Between Dimensions- As I passed through the void between Aetheria and Earth, I felt a creeping unease.

And then- A voice.

A horrifying voice.

“Kuhuhu… Struggle all you want.

It’s useless.

I will continue to disrupt your fate, O Hero chosen by the Goddess of Benevolence…” The words sent chills down my spine.

After that the voice disappeared.

Envi gasped.

“Did you hear that?!” Of course, I did.

We had never heard this voice before.

But there was no doubt in my mind- This was the voice of the God (???) himself.

“Who… What the hell is he?” I muttered, trying to suppress the surge of emotions threatening to explode.

We attempted to contact the Goddess of Benevolence for answers- But for the first time ever… She didn’t respond.

Silence.

Something was deeply wrong.

But there was no time to think about it now- Because right now- Nana needed me.

I couldn’t waste another second.
