You are Reinhold, master swordsman and victor of the Royal Swordsmanship Tournament. The King was so impressed with your skill, he personally requested that you be transferred out of the army and into the Royal Guard! Not bad for an orphan who was raised in a brothel in a poor fishing village.

The only issue at this point is your assignment... you've been charged to be the personal guard of the King's only daughter Marianne. While she is the vision of loveliness that you'd expect from a Princess, her personality is... well... she seems to have some issues.

After fending off the first wave of assassins, you, Karel and Rana are on your way to the southwest corner of the room in order to help Gerhard out.

So he used to be an assassin... makes you wonder if anyone else at the castle is hiding any secrets about themselves.


>Congratulations, you are once again an unruly WOLF!
>Wolves are cool and powerful... and also rather dangerous.
>The Princess considers you to be her friend!
>But while wolves are really cool, they still don't count as people.

"Not to be morbid or anything, but are you sure that this friend of yours is still alive?" Rana asks. "I mean, he got swarmed pretty bad..."
"They're still gathered around where he was, so he must still be fighting them off," you reply. "There's no reason to stick around there otherwise.

At least, you hope he's still alive.

Readying your sword, you locate a decent opening from which to attack...

CRASH

From behind you, you hear what sounds like the main door breaking open?

"The hell was that!?" Karel shouts as he starts to slow down.
"Nicolette and the others can handle it, let's focus on helping Gerhard," you reply.
"If you're sure..."

You're curious as to what the hell could have caused that loud crash, but helping Gerhard takes precedence. After all, Marianne and the others are safe inside the Sanctuary, but your librarian friend is fighting all these guys by himself.

As you approach the crowd of assassina, you notice that they're not paying attention to you at all... wrong move, you bastards.

Our last casting of Clay Spread went bad solely because of a critfail, it would be stupid to assume that it's a bad idea forever just because of that.

"Be you red with the blood of sinners or black like the hearts of the wicked," you chant as softly as you can, "heed my call and bring my enemies to their knees in penitence."

With Script trailing behind you as you run, you point your free hand towards the crowd of assassins.

"Clay Spread."

Slightly faster than they did the last time you cast this spell, six floating orbs of clay form around your hand. Taking aim at the unsuspecting assassins, you take aim...

THUD

THUD

THUD

As your six shots hit six of the assassins clean in their backs and knock them into the crowd of their allies, you glance over to either side. To your right, Karel has just ignited his sword. And to your right, Rana's sprouted large, twisted horns and her hands are now black and scaled... great, they're following your lead.

Charging in before they can regroup, you slash at an assassin who's stumbling back to his feet. You barely feel any resistance as your sword runs right through his throat, sending him staggering back once again into the man behind him.

"Haaa!" Karel shouts as he follows up your attack with a thrusting strike of his burning rapier, plunging his blade through the masked man who you'd just dispatched and into the chest of the one behind him before jumping back to your side.

"Nice assist," you say as the rear group of assassins turns around to face you...

...just as Rana dashes past you and right into them. With a roar, the dragon girl grabs the face of the nearest assassin and uses his limp body as a flail, sending several of them crashing to the ground.

Looks like she's doing her own thing, huh.

>>30321681
>[2/2]

Rana's sudden rampage seems to have drawn the attention of the bulk of the assassins who had previously been crowding Gerhard, and for the first time since he initially ran off, you can actually see him!

With a scowl just like he had when he broke up the fight between Sylvie and Niklaus, Gerhard's doing his best to fend off his attackers... but it doesn't look like he's able to do much other than that.

Taking advantage of the distraction provided by Rana, you rush in to try and clear a path for Gerhard to escape.

"Looks like you were right about him being alive after all..." Karel says with a sigh of relief as the two of you race towards Gerhard.
"Yeah, but now we need to actually get him out of there," you reply.

Gerhard seems to have gotten the same idea as you, fighting with renewed vigor as several of the assassins that he had previously been fighting pour off to try and deal with Rana. With a loud CRACK, one of them falls to the ground, his skull fractured by the librarian's fists.

Is he even using magic?

He has access to a much greater power.
>>
>>30321887

But now isn't the time to be impressed, there's maybe four or so masked men between you and your friend. Nodding to Karel, the two of you ready your swords and dash towards the waiting assassins.

Taking the assassin to the left, you rush in and try for a downward slash. But he reads your movements, switching his knife to a reverse grip and meeting your blade head-on.

CLANG

Putting all of his strength into his knife, he parries your blow and sends you stumbling back... but instead of falling over, you shift your weight and spin back into him, landing a strong kick to the man's gut. As he staggers back in pain, you twirl your sword around and run it right through his heart, sending his bloody corpse falling to the ground.

These guys definitely have the strength, but their actual skill doesn't seem to be all that high. Fortunately.

With that horrible smell of burning flesh that you will NEVER used to, the assassin to your right falls victim to Karel's Flamberge. And so, the two of you run towards the last two masked men who are blocking your path to your friend.

Once again taking the assassin to the left, you tightly grip your sword and try for a stab to his chest...

WHUMP

You're not sure how or why, but Karel crashes right into you, the force sending both of you slamming into the wall.

"Shit," Karel mutters under his breath. "The fucker threw me..."
"'s fine," you reply, reaching for your sword as you try and push Karel off of you. "Just get off of me before we both get killed."

No.

No no no no no.

Now is not the time to even think about that, you can deal with this new bit of information later. Pushing it into the BACK of your mind, you scramble to your feet just in time to narrowly avoid being skewered by an assassin's knife.

Meeting the assassin's blade with your own sword, you find yourself straining with all of your might just to hold him back... shit, this guy's stronger than the other ones.

Pretty sure it has little to do with the writer at this point. Even divine providence of the dice dictates that Reinhold is an inferior character in every sense. Last thread we got a triple-20, and immediately after when we go back to Reinhold, we roll a 1. Yet again. There's a point where you just gotta accept that even with the laws of probability, fate itself has decided that something is shit.
>>

At this point one more person isn't really a big deal.

Here's a thought: Karel beats Emilio because she secretly fancies him, but wants to be a good friend and support him in seeking the girl that he himself loves.

Karel is pushing Emilio into NTR'ing her with Marie.

What if every male is female, and Reinhold and Monique are the only true men on the dying world?

>>30322741
I still look forward to the 'Extreme' difficulty route in the VN, which is to make our sword sentient and then romance her.

Are you trying to imply that current Reinhold isn't already a shitty person? At least Makoto from School Days gets away with not having a personality and having automatic pussy-privilege due to being an eroge protagonist. Reinhold's gone out of his way to be a nice person, and then turn right around and be a shit. May as well go the whole nine yards with it.

Hell, if we started playing the field at least we'd get something interesting out of the deal.
>>
You can see the mad glint in the assassin's eyes behind his mask as he holds you in place... you'd have normally tried to Force him to the side, but you don't think that you'll be able to manage that this time around.

Looking over to the side, Karel's busy fighting off his... -her- own opponent, so it's not like you'd be getting any help there. And Clay Spread wouldn't be any use here either... damn it, none of your other spells would be of any use here either.

As your gaze shifts down to your hands, you notice your rippling bracelet...

>>30322774
It can also apply in the sense of 'I really like this girl, and now I have to watch her getting fucked by some other guy while I never get the chance to tell her how I feel'.

It's just the general vibe of the person you love being stolen from you, right before your eyes. Regardless of whether or not you're in a relationship with them or not. For example, Luci NTR'd Sylvie.

Not sure if you can consider Monique, Matthias, Giancarlo, Andreas and Gerhard to be around our age when they're in their twenties (or older, most likely for Gerhard).

by contrast we got like half a dozen girls age 14-16.

>by contrast we got like half a dozen girls age 14-16.

Which really makes revealing Karel to be a girl a pretty pointless action to do now, since it's not gonna have any effect on our narrative with the character. That sorta relevation is handed out when there's still the chance to romance a reverse-trap character, not after.

...and then you get an idea. Concentrating on the trinket that Niklaus gave you,several tendrils of metal extend from its surface and shoot towards the assassin's hand all at once, weaving through the flesh of his hand as easily as a needle through a piece of cloth.

As the assassin reels back in pain, you recall the bracelet to its original shape, double back to steady your blade, and run it right through his heart like you'd meant to from the start.

Blood oozes from both the wounds in his chest and his hand as he slumps to the ground, finally opening your path.

>>
>>30323040
Yes. Because that's totally what I said. There's a difference between being the most powerful person in the world, and being able to do something awesome, you do realize. So far Reinhold's greatest talent is that he learned a failed and fucked up version of a swordsmanship style. That's literally his singular character point. No other skills. And even if we dedicated every moment of spare time towards a craft, we'd basically barely be able to match up to the average-tier'd NPCs that are our allies.

"Karel, come on!" you shout, looking to your side just as she finishes off the assassin that she was fighting.
"Yeah, alright," Karel replies as she follows behind you.

And there Gerhard is, surrounded by five or six corpses as fends off three assassins with his bare hands, batting away their knives without getting stabbed himself... somehow.

The rest of the assassins in this part of the room are trying to dogpile Rana as she continues to beat them to death with the corpses of their own comrades.


>battle plans?
>>
>>30323082
Again, you're taking it out of context and making up your own bullshit to deflect the point being made. I'm saying that the most AVERAGE of our allies are way more powerful than us. And in turn they themselves are retardedly powerful.

Well, the way I see it:

Gerhard is fending off three assassins and already killed six - he's probably fine, but we could make sure.

And Rana is doing well but risking getting surrounded and taken out, so she might use an assist.

So... send Karel to help Gerhard? And... help Rana?

i'm not taking shit out of context, you phrased it like the people we're with are normal when they're practically superhuman

gregory is called the red mist because he eviscerates fucking armies into little more than clouds of gore

these assassins are half dragon and have super strength and we've cut through them like fucking butter; I don't think we've even taken a hit yet

this isn't your quest, if you're not ok with being surrounded by people stronger than you then maybe you should find another one instead of sitting in threads going "baaawwwww, why can't I 1shot superman"

We support Rana.

Karel helps Gerhard kill his attackers and then immediately join us.

>>30323130
She also is deliberately refusing to learn magic, despite her mother constantly offering to teach her.

Basically Reinhold is only better at magic and swords than Nico is because she intentionally doesn't use them.

So, this is obviously some kind of coup.

I mean, we're looking at a small army of half-dragons and devil children here, that have even gone so far as to infiltrate the Royal Guard--at this point, we're way beyond a normal kidnapping plot, this is an outright power grab.

>>30323130

God, can we stop with the "Reinhold is useless"? Nobody is ever going to change their opinion.

The thing is.. Reinhold doesn't have to be useless. We're just literally not allowed to move upwards. Other threads allow character progression, even if it's in slow and steady pacing over time. Here, however, we're already about 60% finished with the quest, according to Arch, and we have next to nothing to show for it save for a couple of cantrips and maybe a new sword.

and training with arnaud (which has been explicitly mentioned in some fights where we've dodged shit, implying that if we hadn't done the training we wouldn't have done as well)

and a basic understanding of how to cast magic, which is needed for progression

and we're slowly increasing our mana pool

and we're suddenly a competent artist


in any case, it's a VN quest, not one with a level up system. that's just how it's going to fucking be.

if anything, my complaint is that we're moving too fast. in the space of what, maybe a month, we've suddenly developed all these skills and strong relationships out of nowhere. people are distraught when they see us hurt after knowing us for less than a fucking week.
>>
>>30323206
Doesn't Matter how much talent she has, if she hasn't used a sword in years, since she stopped and picked the spear when her grandfather died, her natural talent isn't going to mean didly squat. Reinhold is better at swords than her. She might outpace him if she went back to swords and had several years to catch up, but she is no where near the level reinhold is.

She has talent but she is not practicing it. Reinhold probably - actually definitely, seeing as how guys like arnaud and gregory see potential in him - has talent too, and he actually has been working on it for his entire life.
why are people assuming she is really great at because she *does not* practice it escapes me.
>>
>>30323309
That would be a legitimate point if Sylvie hadn't just learned magic a few months ago, and was now retardedly good, basically because of raw talent. Now swap that raw talent over to swording for Nico. This is basically a setting where if your parents are retardedly powerful monsters, you yourself are a naturally gifted monster in the making.
>>
WE DON'T KNOW how Nico compares to Reinhold with a sword. At all.

Just that she's not a slouch. Which doesn't mean much when Reinhold has proven himself to be among the best fancers of his generation.
>>
>>30323330
Check the archives. Someone asked Archelon how far into the quest we were. He said we were past the halfway mark.

As for progression and spells. Every spell we have is something any mage can learn, considering that we're basically still an apprentice-level caster. I'll concede on the Arnaud point since it has been mentioned that our dodging and footwork has improved. It's really about the only thing that's improved.

I don't see why that would be so unbelievable, especially if you're in contact with that person for pretty much all day and taking into account the ages of the characters.

Ok, let's list the people who Reinhold would most likely defeat in real combat:

Nicolette
Karel
Marianne
Reya would probably be the most even match-up for Reinhold.


People who would beat him:

Luciana
Sylvie
Monique


And then the people who would curbstomp him as well as anyone else from a lower tier:

Rana
Gerhard
Gregory
Ariane
Therri
Niklaus
Vincent
Arnaud
Celestino
Andreas
Takamaru

Did I miss anyone or are there any obvious mistakes in this list?

>Every spell we have is something any mage can learn
Well that's fucking obvious. Of course mages can learn spells, that's their goddamn job.

You're saying they're useless, though, when IN THIS VERY THREAD one of them took out six assassins like it weren't no thang.

didn't reya get fucked up when they sparred?

I think Marie could beat him, if she wasn't terrified of violence and the likes.

"Help Gerhard out while I back Rana up," you say, tuning to Karel.
"Are you sure th- yeah, whatever," Karel replies, shaking her head.

With that settled, you leave the young swordswoman and run over and around the corpses that are all over the floor in order to get to Rana.

"Haha... hahaha... I bet you assholes've never even seen a REAL dragon before!" Rana cackles. "Well, I'm happy to be your first!"

Grabbing another assassin by the face, she grips as hard as she can with her clawed hand and crushes his skull. As she reaches down to grab a corpse to use as another makeshift weapon, the assassins give her a wide berth...

...and then they begin to follow her example, looting the bodies of their comrades for their knives and then throwing them at the dragon girl with deadly precision. She's able to bat a few away with her corpse-flail, but a few of them hit true, embedding themselves deep into her forearms.

But it didn't take them out. It knocked them over, and into their friends. It's not a killing spell. It created the opportunity to stab them, sure, but it's not that powerful. It's one of those 'how you use it' spells.

>>
>>30323418
Pretty much. Only thing that really gives Reinhold a shot at beating her is that she'd be too afraid to fight. But I imagine if she was pushed into a corner, she'd mow shit down in self-defense like she did a few threads back.
>>
People thinking Reinhold is useless and the other side will never change their mind. it is fruitless and useless arguement, i know because i argued about it like half dozen times. if you really want to continue, who am i to stop you, but it is better to just shut up about this one because it will serve nothing but to anger your.
>>
>>30323422
Yes. But, in a real fight we'd have access to magic.
And Tina.
And the Sword Throw Attack.
>>
>>30323393
But that was with him using his weakest claws, wasn't it?

>>30323402
>>30323418
She is stronger, but the complete lack of combat experience would give Reinhold the edge he needs. She wouldn't be able to ice him as easily if he was prepared.

>>30323412
Why would he NOT use his sealed king? This is real combat we're talking about, not some silly duel.
>>
>>30323417
Knocking someone over, encasing them in clay and throwing them at their friends isn't 'taking someone out'?

Shit, man, I bet you're one of those guys that thinks soldiers didn't stop fighting in battles until all the guys making up the other army were dead.
>>
>>30323423
i think he was going to say
"are you sure you want to get in the way of the dragon lady, like you helped me with that clay missiles?"
>>
>>30323442
So does that mean that Reinhold took Karel out a few threads back when he spurted clay all over her face?
>>
>>30323438
what the fuck could he do against it? block it with his sword? you can't really dodge something that's being cast onto you unless you're hella fucking fast

>>30323452

Jesus man, now I want this cg on the VN

>>30323452
Um, yes? If he hadn't helped her out she would have been toast.
>>
>>30323438
>But that was with him using his weakest claws, wasn't it?
yeah, and other guy was using a training sword, the basic premise still stands.
>>
>>30323412

>Reinhold charges in.
>Eats ice and a blade across his neck.

But i'll admit that it will be a close fight, sealed king or not, Monique can use magic to fly and freeze.

And the best way to beat a mage is a swift kick the the balls to ruin their focus.
>>
>>30323460
Why would she have been toast if she was already taken out? I mean, if she got hit with the Clay Spread, then there was no reason to finish her off. Since she was clearly out of the fight. For good.
>>
>>30323471
Ah, yes, forgive me. Once someone is incapacitated they can't ever get up again.

HURR DURR THE ONLY WAY TO BEAT SOMEONE IS TO KILL THEM

I bet you voted for keeping fighting Monique when Reinhold was clearly beaten, holy shit.

Yeah, this is exactly what you were worried about. Rushing in while they're preoccupied with Rana's literal roars of anger, you're able to cut down two of the assassins before they realize that you're a threat as well.

"I'd have been fine on my own," Rana says as she rips a knife out of her arm and tosses it aside, "but I guess it's nice to have some backup."
"Your brother would be pretty pissed if I let you go and get yourself maimed, you know," you snap back.
"I guess you've got a point there!" she laughs. "Now what say we take the rest of these assholes out?"
"That's the idea."

Looking around, you count six assassins left standing and one on his knees... oh, his skull's cracked open. Never mind. Just six. Just like before, you race towards the one closest to you...

Ya know, your mocking response would work better if your two mocking remarks didn't directly contradict each other. Are you mocking me for suggesting that your rationale of Clay Spread being a 100% KO guarantee is faulty, or are you mocking me for questioning why you would say that Karel would need helping after being hit by Clay Spread, on account of your aforementioned 100% KO guarantee, which would mean the assassins would have no reason to kill her unless they were just extra douchey.

In fact, I'm not even sure what you're trying to get across here anymore.

You're saying Clay Spread is useless.

I'm saying it isn't.

We used it to great effect in this combat, and when Karel was hit with it they were in dire straits.

You're the one saying that any particular move has to deal with someone ONCE AND FOR ALL with EVERY SINGLE HIT or it's worthless.
>>
>>30323563
>The dice gods genuinely hate Princess Bodyguard, don't they?

their decisions is pretty fair for Rein.
>>
>>30323583
I never said it was useless. I said it wasn't the surefire, guaranteed win spell that you're making it out to be. Which you have been. I even described Clay Spread as a 'depends on how you use it' spell, while you went on a 'nuh uh fuck you Clay Spread is awesome look what it just did to those assassins! It even fucked up Karel!' rampage, dude.

Again, never said they weren't useful. Apparently you're mistaking 'awesome' with 'utility'. I even said 'depends on how you use it' twice now. Three times if you count just now. Are you just illiterate or something? Regardless of how damn useful Grease and Magic Missile are, they're still standard issue spells - which apparently is some kind of cardinal sin to you or something.
>>
>>30323638
Not to mention I'd rather hit an ally with Clay Spread than any of those. We're a liability to fight alongside our allies with these dice rolls and crazier spells.

Unlike the other assassins, this one chooses to evade you sword instead of hitting you head-on, dodging to the side just as you're about to hit him. He tries to counter with a stab to your face, but you duck back and run your sword through him before he's able to do so.

One down, five to go.

But as impressive as that may be, you have more pressing matters to attend to. Like taking care of this assassin that's charging you, for example. Sliding your feet under the body of the man you just killed, then you pull your leg up and kick the corpse at him.

WHUMP

It's a direct hit, your improvised attack pins the assassin under the corpse of his comrade just long enough for you to run up and slit his throat. You then look over at Rana to make sure that she's okay... and she's throwing a charred corpse aside as she stares down two more assassins.

Great, that means that there are... three total? Rana's facing two of them, so where's the third one-

CLANG

Noticing something in the corner of your eye, you just barely manage to block a knife slash with your sword, the force from which knocks over on your back... shit!

She still has a few years before the bullshit dragon strength gets to curbstomping levels.

>>30323852
>[3/3]

Even through his mask, you can tell that the assassin's grinning at you as he lunges in for the kill. But before he can reach you, a fist plants itself firmly on the side of his head, cracking his mask and sending him crashing into the wall.

"While I do appreciate that you came to help me," Gerhard says as he helps you to your feet, "I would consider it more important that you take care of yourself."
"Yeah, dumbass," Karel says. "Quit being so careless."
"Considering that you got yourself thrown INTO me," you retort, "I don't th-"

yeah, time to not mention that.

"A- anyways, thanks," you say, nodding to Gerhard.
"Likewise," Gerhard replies.

You turn to check on Rana, but it looks like she's just about done with the last of the assassins, slamming his corpse into the floor as hard as she can.

"So you're all fine, butler guy?" Rana asks.
"Thanks to the three of you, anyways," Gerhard replies, bowing. "I suppose we should regroup with the others now? ...er, they -are- unhurt, I hope."
"Marianne and the rest of them are right over there," you say, pointing to the corner of your hall where your friends are gathered.
"That's a relief... but I found myself unable to break through the barrier on this door, regardless of how hard I punched it," Gerhard shakes his head. "I suspect a FULL-blooded dragon like your friend here may have better luck than I, but I'm honestly not sure."
