    24 Giving up is strictly forbidden


    She met this despair called the dragon about three years ago.


    The period of time she was journeying together with her master Setsu had already passed by long ago and she, whose abilities grew remarkably, finally she was trying to increase her rank to S.


    At the time, the request that provides the S rank promotion test was posted in the guild. The subject is the [subjugation of one flying dragon], a typical request for an S rank test and there is also a fact that adventurers of S rank and above can be called <dragon yers="">.</dragon>


    As a general rule on dragon subjugation is that it is forbidden to take independent actions. Within this worlds species, the dragon is without a doubt one of the species species with the highest abilities. They are said to be impossible to crush solo unless one is an SSS rank adventurer. There is that much difference between SS and SSS rank however, let us put that aside now.


    Without running away from the custom, she also received the request together with A ss adventurers she was on good terms with to some extent. Along the journey the girls imagined their own figures bing an S rank and loosened their cheeks, but when they arrived at the location of the dragons den, they simultaneously trembled in fear.


    What is in that ce is one flying dragon. Appearing to have noticed the girls approaching, it went out of the dragons den. When the dragon took a nce towards Alizes group, it spread its huge wings and soared. The vibrant red scales covering its body is too beautiful, all the creatures wouldnt be able to take their eyes off of it and every being would seem to unintentionally prostrate themselves before it.


    What the girls were feeling was an overwhelming sense of powerlessness. Their appearance of them recalling their ideals and enjoying themselves and such up until now was nowhere to be seen, they were just in a daze and looking at this <beauty> as if it was food.</beauty>


    Perhaps Alizes group like that was reflected as an eyesore to the dragon, but when the dragon suddenly roared, it spread its wings again and approached the girls. In contrast with the dragon who is preparing its ws and is descending, the members at that ce was standing there without moving.


    Alizewas the exception


    U- uooooooh!


    Shaking her body that was shrinking with fear, Alize drew out the rapier she was wearing. Magic power crawled into the rapier and with a thrust instead of a sh, she fires off a flying de.


    The flying de pushes itself straight through the space and is up until now her best execution of the flying de. That attack, which would open a hole through the average monster, surely made a direct hit to the dragons face.


    However, that is all it did.


    The dragon, whose face received a thrust, didnt show even the slightest hint of faltering and as itnded on the ground, it mowed down the closest one, Alize, like garbage.


    Together with a pain that would make one lose consciousness, Alize rolled over the ground. Several trees were mowed down and when she was able to notice, she saw she was nearly 100 meters separated from the dragon.


    The reason Alize could move must have been because of the upbringing of the un-Hero like Hero. When sparring, he constantly hit her with a sense of intimidation equal to that of a dragon. At first it resulted in an everyday urrence with her waist giving out and her fainting and such, but if it is repeated she will get used to it as expected and she herself is aware that she had be stronger against that intimidating air. That wasrgely the reason for being able to move in this ce.


    Although she could move, on her own she is hardly a challenge against the dragon. Being blown off this far and receiving damage should be good proof of that. Her arm is broken and her leg as well. She is already not in the condition to move.


    While remembering the anger of not having aptitude in healing magic, she strongly resented her hand which is no longer able to hold her rapier. She didnt know what she was cut with, but her shoulder had arge gash, blood flowed out endlessly. As if hitting that wound with anger, she pushed her hand d in fire.


    Uugh!


    While groaning, she showed bitter tears on her face.


    In the corner of her view, she saw one of her friends who went with her being eaten.


    Although it was burned, she somehow seeded in stopping the flowing blood.


    Now another one of her friends was crushed by the dragons arm.


    Alize stood up somehow and attempted to go and assist them, but


    The female warrior, who was bright and cheerful, was pierced by a giant nail.


    She couldnt put any strength in her foot and immediately crumbled down. She couldnt put any strength in her arms to catch her body and just like that, her body waspletely nailed on the ground.


    The cute mage, whose strong point was support magic rather than offensive magic, became a lump of meat under its tail.


    Move, move she continued to order her whole body, but her body didnt show any sign at all of obeying her. That was to be expected, her body instinctively refused to obey. Throwing down the gauntlet to that dragon acting like shes dying before its own eyes.


    Thus, the time had finallye.


    Ah


    This day, the ones who hade to this ce were six people including Alize. Currently four people have died. And then thest person, a kind hearted male swordsman who had always been heartily drinking alcohol andughing, has


    now been eaten.


    In the end, the dragon returned to its den as it is and Alize was the only person who was left behind in that ce. Going around inside her head was the face of thest person, the male swordsman, and her tears overflowed.


    It can be seen that Alizes eyes were clinging onto something. Please help me is what those eyes are indicating.


    That is the source of the girls trauma. An overwhelming defeat due to overwhelming power, losing her group of friends. It was discovered afterwards, but the dragon they came across didnt appear to be the subjugation target. After they left the guild, that information fell into the guildsp.


    The dragon that was supposed to be the subjugation target was killed by a much higher rank dragon and that higher rank dragon ended up settling in that den, or so it seems. In other words, they were expected to fight a much lower rank dragon.


    It seemed as if the girl was blown away from the beginning, left the dragons domain and in the end finished without sess.


    Alize, who was even unaware of that, ended up thinking she was taken for a small fry who was not even worth killing as far as the dragon is concerned.


    While seeing off the dragon who killed the invaders and returned satisfied, she fainted together with fear and powerlessness.


    Afterwards, the girl was sheltered by a merchant who had heard the uproar and approached it and her injuries were also healed by restoration magic. With this case, the ineptitude of the guilds side took form of a small problem and Alize received arge amount of hush money.


    Alize was told that the S rank promotion test will be put on in the future, but she was no longer in the mental condition to advance to S rank. There is no willpower remaining to face them again within Alize, who experienced the terror that is the dragon.


    Alize left the town and returned to this vige without mentioning this to anyone. Each time she holds the rapier, she relives the scene of that time and without being able to practice sufficiently her strength started weakening, however recently her fears was able to fade gradually. It was because she was encouraged by the man she had met called Ramell.


    However, this did not mean that the fading fear had vanished


    Ah aah


    Alizes leg shook in fear.


    Flying in the sky above the vige, a dragon is looking down on the viger with angry eyes and with the overwhelming sense of intimidation, those vigers courage diminished. That dragon is dropping its height little by little and then itnded inside the vige. The building caught under thatrge build was crushed and the vigers trembled with fear.


    There are still children in there who cant move from their illness!


    Someone shouted. The other vigers panicked from the sudden dragon invasion and ran in every direction. The soldiers who were standby in the vige were barely able to remain there, but there were no hints of anyone going to help move those children.


    I have to escape


    Alize and the guards were the same. The word escape floated across inside her head. Judging from appearances, the dragon looked like it was at the same level as the one who trampled on the guy and the girls several years ago. Although the color of the scales are different, the style of physique somehow resemble the dragon at that time.


    The dragon moved its neck, looking around the vicinity as if looking for a prey. And thenAlize was in its sight.


    Ah


    A spiritless voice came out of the girl. What the scene looks most like is the representation of a frog being stared at by a snake.


    The dragon found its prey and with its still angry eyes it moved its foot and took a step.


    The kids are still living!


    At that time, someone shouted so and faced the dragon to be exact, he faced the building that was being crushed beneath the dragon and started running.


    Ra, Ramell!


    The one who started running at full speed without drawing out his sword is the vige soldier who has feelings for Alize, Ramell. He was always that kind of man. If someone of the vige was in danger, he woulde to aid them, disregarding both his abilities and position. If you look at him positively, he is heroic and if you look at him negatively, he is reckless he is a man you would repeat this over and over. Even so, it was Alize who was somehow able to support him up until now.


    however, only this time it is different.


    The dragon notices him and sent its gaze towards him.


    With only his movements were stopped. The always brave and reckless him is, with just one re.


    There is that much difference between man and dragon. The overwhelming difference in strength would first crush his spirit. His willpower, before he faced against fear like he has done until now,pletely broke.


    And then in this situation, there are no targets as easy as a human who stopped moving.


    RuRun away!


    Alize forgot her fear and shouted. However it never reached Ramell who was staring dumbfoundedly at the dragon, so he never ran away. The dragon mowed down once like it was brushing off dust. A sudden gust sprang forth from the swung arm and pushed Alizes body. The girl who couldnt open her eyes from the strong wind, covered her face with her arms and then she was finally able to open her half closed eyes.


    Ramells figure was not there. As soon as the gust stopped and she finally searched for him in front of her,thatfell from the sky.


    Ra Rame ll


    She didnt know how high up he wasunched, but there was a considerable time between his figure vanishing and him falling down. Fallen down beside Alize, he had his arms bent in a strange direction and there was a not so small amount of blood spilling from under his armour. Alize couldnt approach him who did not even twitch. Ramells life was already gone. The fact that his magic power couldnt be felt anymore is good proof of that. Alize was afraid to take off his armour and to ascertain it.


    With this, the girl once again had a friend killed by a dragon.


    However, what arose was different from that time.


    How dare you.


    Alize drew her rapier and took one step forward.


    How dare you do this to Rameeellll!


    With her face dyed with firy, Alize started running with a raging spirit. What was there was no fear, but pure anger. Its because Ramells existence within her was sorge it blew away her fears. She was that attracted to him.


    Aaaaaaah!


    Against the overwhelming unreasonableness, Alize fires random mes with chantless magic, which she is weak at. Unsure what to think of the attack which absolutely didnt take any consideration in magic power distribution and the like, the dragonmences its flight while catching the attacks throughout its body.


    Dont you run awaay!


    Towards the floating giant body, the girl kicked the ground, jumped and plunged her rapier into that face.


    However


    Damn!


    In the moment the rapier struck the scales, it broke at the center. It was Alize who lost her weapon, but as a result of moving out of anger, she left it to her instincts and grasped the floating tip of her rapier and thrusted it into the dragons eye.


    Gugyaaaaaaa!


    For the first time the dragons shriek was heard. Rather than being pleased about crushing one of its eyes, Alize started plunging the remaining part of her rapier in the other eye.


    Gaa!


    Tch!


    However, the dragon defended against it by shaking its head. Thrown out into the sky, when Alize rearranged her body position in the sky andnded, she simultaneously


    Uoooooh!


    kicked the ground once again and jumped before the dragons eyes. When she held the rapier as to thrust into the other eye again, it ended in a failure with the dragon swinging its arm this time.


    The girl who got assaulted by therge arm, flew horizontally like that and finally stopped after prating several houses.


    Gah haah haah


    Inside the house where the citizens already ended up taking refuge in, Alize breathed out blood. How dare you not dying, me she says as showed a bitter smile.


    (I know I am no match for it hah, its frustrating, isnt it)


    The difference in fighting power was clear, she knew she could not win. Even so, before she noticed she moved at the instant her special someone was hurt. It cant be helped that she held fear when her friends were done in, but this time it was different.


    (So I was this drawn to that man)


    It seems that the girls heart was stolen by Ramell to the point it painted over her fears. Thereforeshe was filled with frustration. Towards herself, who could not even take down her loved ones enemy.


    So I can still move


    Fortunately, the girls body was not broken. She could barely move her body, but several of her ribs were probably broken


    If I can move then!


    She whipped her aching body and started running. This degree of injury was an everyday urrence during the time Alize was with Setsus group.


    Jumping out of the house, she ran towards the still floating dragon. The dragon turns one of its eyes dyed in anger, but Alize disregarded it and continued to run.


    The dragon fluttered its wings, attempting to blow away the girl with the urring wind. However, the girl did not stop. She frantically moved her feet strengthened with magic and approached towards the front of it.


    Feeling more and more irritated from that, the dragon it filled its mouth with magic power. Their races characteristic weapon, it is the appearance of


    . Some breathes out fire and there are various individuals who can fire devastating beams, but its said that a superior dragon has the power to partially destroy a city.</breath>


    Thus this dragon isthat kind.


    Hah Breath is as intense as one would expect


    Energy is umting into its mouth, which can even be seen at a distance. The dragons magic power isparable to several times that of the girls.


    I wont make it in time, I will be struck before I approach it. Alize had such convictions. Once shepletely believed that, she herself stopped running. It was an attitude of resignation.


    But Just the vigeI will protect


    What made her be strong was for the sake of this vige. It was for the sake of protecting this vige. It was for the sake of giving the vige that is threatened by the strength of the monsters in the vicinity, a peace of mind. Perhaps when the breath is fired, not only the girl, but also this vige may vanish.


    Only thaaaat!


    Alize circtes her remaining magic power in her whole body. The dragons breath is aiming at her. In that case, if she could stop the whole breath


    (Well, that would be impossible I guess)


    She knows how much is her remaining amount of magic powerThats what she thought. As a matter of fact, it was as she said.


    However, if she could be a shield even a little bit, a part of the vige may possibly remain.


    She already ovee her fears and the dragon is no longer something to be afraid of.


    (If I have to say my regrets it would be not being able to give the mead to master, I guess)


    What am I thinking at this time Alize unintentionally smiled.


    Forgive me master, for being a weak pupil.


    Yeah you really are, you idiot pupil


    eh?


    Goaaaaaa!


    Simultaneously when Alize let out a stupid like voice, a torrent of energy was fired from the dragons mouth.


    Have you forgotten the adventurers rules of my school? I should have told you those, shouldnt I? Giving up is strictly forbiddenis what it is!


    The main current of energy, the beam suddenly altered its course to right overhead. What vanished into the skies, extinguished just like that as the energying from the dragons mouth was running out.


    Aw man, Im a bit too oftente in making my entry these days


    Ma, master!


    Standing there was Setsu, the manfarthestfrom being a Hero in this world, and nowthe oneclosestto it.
