Avoiding Death in Otome Game, I'll Have To Be Invincible

The show was really great. I never could have thought that magic can be used in such an elegant manner.

Of course there was no strong firepower in those magic spells but there was gratefulness.

Also those aura user performers use their body in impossible ways, jumping from every angle and gliding through fire.

Also there was one guy who rode an over 2 meter tall wild titan rhino like a regular horse.

"Father, isn't that like using Chlorinita?"

"Indeed, they are using 'Chlorinita' to prevent catching the fire, and that rhino might have been given 'Bronixida' for soothing"

I heard the voices of the father and daughter duo.

It sounds like they are talking about alchemy.

Wait a minute.

Bob cut hair, emerald green eyes and an alchemist family.

Now I remember.

She should be Lily Besant, heroine's friend who is although commoner but is from a prestigious alchemist family.

"Please stop spoiling it for us"

Ian who was sitting in my right and directly besides that girl said with a displeased expression.

"S-sorry"

Lily replied. She is a shy type character.

Meanwhile a man in black cloak appeared on the stage.

"Thank you for coming here all of you lovely guests. I am your trickmaster Cornwallis"

"I am going to perform the climax act of our show and I need a volunteer for this final act"

The man said and look throughout the audience.

"How about you our young guest? Would you like to help me in this final act?"

The man said while pointing towards me.

More importantly, the name 'Cornwallis' seems to ring a bell in my head, but I just can't exactly remember who he was in the game.

"Yeah! Kai go for it!"

Ian urged me to go.

Other audiences also seem to be looking here.

Urged by Ian I walked up to the stage while trying to recall information about this guy called Cornwallis.

Cornwallis, Cornwallis, criminal Cornwallis!

Now I remember it!

He appeared in one of the routes as a criminal backed by a fanatical member of the commoner's faction.

There are three political factions in the kingdom, the noble faction, the Commoner faction and the neutral faction.

This Cornwallis was backed by one of the extreme fanatical members of the faction.

He was a criminal involved in child trafficking.

In the game the heroine and the capture target catches him and uncovers the crimes by that member of the commoner faction.

I am suddenly feeling really uneasy!

There was no record of Cornwallis's circus background in the game so I don't know if he is yet a criminal or not.

"Dear guest, would you like to tell us your name?"

"My name is Kai"

I gave a very short reply and purposely avoided telling my family name.

"Please stand there sir"

Cornwallis signals me to stand on some kind of a platform.

It is a black platform with some kind of engraving.

By the prop I can already guess the trick he is going to do.

The prop has four sides laying in the four directions, those when up together will form a box.

Magic to make people disappear from inside the box. I have heard of it and seen it on TV in my previous life.

But this is a true magic world so the method should be different.

Then that engraving should be a magic circle for teleportation.

Come to think of it, why does the original Kai despised the commoners?

There was no answer in the game but it's definitely not his upbringing.

If I act like that without any big reason then I'll be grounded by Mother.

Could it be there is going to be some kind of an incident?

My uneasiness intensified.

What should I do? Is this some unseen event?

"Please dear guest"

Cornwallis urged me to step up to the platform with the magic circle.

I can't make a big scene when I am not even sure of his crime.

Think about it boy! Think about it!

What should I do!

Looking at the magic circle, suddenly an idea pop up in my mind.

Let's just completely spoil his trick.

I quietly walked onto the platform, at the same time I activated my 'Wind Vision'.

Cornwallis signals his helpers to close the box, so they erected the walls of the box.

The lengthened part of the back is folded to become the top of the box.

As soon as the box gets closed, I activate my magic.

'Wind Disc' a magic formed by a spinning wind slash, excels in cutting.

I used this to make some cuts on the joints in the engraving that looks important.

It's a known fact that a simple cut in a magic circle can cause errors, so I made several to completely immobilize its functionality.
