The Failed Swordsman Who Became the Strongest After Spamming the 100 Million Years Button

「Who is it!?」

I developed dark robe instantaneously, and quickly surveyed the surroundings.

However, there were no signs of anyone attacking.

On the contrary, that hideous bloodlust disappeared as quickly as it came.

(What the hell was that?)

A mass of dark emotions smeared in hatred and resentment.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been touched by such strong “negative emotions”.

(No way! Is it Dodriel again? …No, it’s not.)

The nature of his bloodlust is a little different.

When I was thinking about that,

「What is it all of a sudden, Allen?」

「What happened?」

Ria and Rose quickly pulled out their swords and became vigilant of their surroundings.

「By any chance, is it the Black Organization!?」

「Did you sense the presence of an enemy, Allen-kun?」

「But I can’t see them anywhere though…!」

The president and sempai quickly watched out in all directions, with their backs to each other.

Judging by their reactions, it seems that the bloodlust just now was directed only towards me.

(I see, the target this time is “only me”.)

After getting an overall grasp of the situation,

「Sorry to surprise everyone like that. I felt someone’s strong bloodlust just now, so I went on guard a little.」

I slowly sheathed my sword into its scabbard and erased the dark robe.

「…Bloodlust?」

「I didn’t feel anything at all though…」

Ria and Rose tilted their heads.

「The bloodlust was released only towards me for a split second. They must be considerably skilled.」

Someone other than us and Bacchus-san is lurking on this isolated island – lurking in the Country of Sakura, Cherin.

(This is going to be a hassle again.)

That spine freezing bloodlust.

The movements which didn’t allow us to perceive them even in the slightest.

They are sure to be a considerably skilled swordsman.

(Is it the Black Organization? Or the Demons? Or perhaps someone else entirely…?)

I don’t know who, but they seem to be aiming for my life.

(I have to brace myself a little.)

Needless to say, I can’t afford to die in this place.

I still have a lot of things I must accomplish.

I want to get a job with a stable salary like becoming a Holy Knight and provide a comfortable life for my mother.

I also want to ascertain how far this swordsmanship, which has been honed for over a billion years, can take me.

And one day in the future – I want to confess these feelings in my heart to Ria.

(In order to do that too, I must be more careful than ever.)

As I was steeling myself for that,

「If they went out of their way to aim for Allen, they must surely have the “confidence to win”.」

「Logically thinking, that must be so, but… You can’t find a swordsman who can beat Allen that easily though…」

Ria and Rose were exchanging thoughts with a serious expression.

And then,

「Due to the lack of information, it’s difficult to estimate the enemy, but… No matter what kind of enemy they might be, Allen-kun will never lose… Right?」

The president said so, and tilted her head adorably.

There was a strong hint of faith in her eyes, and… It kinda made me feel shy.

「A-Ahahaha… I’ll try my best.」

As I answered humbly with a wry smile,

「Fufu, a very Allen-like response.」

She chuckled and smiled softly.

And once the bright atmosphere returned,

「Well then, we can’t make Bacchus-san wait too long, so let’s go get the gliders!」

The president spoke brightly.

Then we quickly recovered the gliders and flew toward Bacchus-san’s house.
