Lan…
I jumped forward, landing on top of one of the desks before avoiding a strike from Chameleo.
Had to get to Lan…
"Oi!" Chameleo Guildy shouted as I dashed towards my friend, "Where do you think you're going!?"
"Getting Lan away from you of course!" I replied, stopping in front of the girl. "There's no telling what you've done to her!"
"I haven't touched her I swear!" The guildy shouted defensively, "Do you think I want the cops on me?!"
I blinked, looking at the state my friend was in before looking back at Chameleo Guildy.
"Yes."
"No!"
"Whatever, just let me move her to the corner…" I began, picking her up and- Wow she's light.
Letting out a little noise, I jumped up and moved her to the corner of the classroom. "Right okay, we both mutually agree to not go near this corner."
"Sure, I'm cool with that."
"Now then…" As fast as I could, I pushed my body to turn around and held up the Blazer Blade, "Release what you did to Lan right now!"
"No way!" he roared, "Someone like you couldn't understand the-"
I dashed forward and swung the Blazer Blade.
Blazer Blade: 80 Damage, +15 Dice = 95 Total Damage
Chameleo Guildy: 40 Base Resilience, +3 Dice = 43 Total Reduction
52 End Damage
Chameleo Guildy: 165 - 52 = 113 Remaining Health
With almost no resistance at all, the blade cut the indigo skin of the guildy, leaving a very much noticeable gash across his chest.
"GAHH!" He roared, "THAT HURTS LIKE ALL HELL! AT LEAST LET ME FINISH FIRST!"
"As if!" My foot shot forward, aiming to kick Chameleo Guildy, only for him to dodge out of the way, "You think I'd just let you monologue while my friend is in danger?!"
"Yes!" he shouted, only to pause before he coughing, "I mean, that's how it always is in the movies…"
Um.
What.
"Regardless, to not even listen to me…" Chameleo growled, "This is what I hate the most about your kind!"
"My… Kind?" I mumbled, "I'm so confused right now… You mean humans?"
"What? No of course not!" He jabbed a finger at me, "I'm talking about you! Normie! Playboy! Harem Protagonist!"
"...You've lost me."
"Isn't it obvious?!" It was almost as if all his frustrations reached a breaking point as he turned red in color, "You must be at the top of the world! Talking to cute girls, your natural charm…"
"Huh?!"
Natural Charm?!
"Don't play dumb! It's your hair obviously! Girls must love it!" Wait, could he be talking about my tw- "Your all-natural red hair! Do you know how rare that is you fucking bishonen?!"
"My… hair color?" I shook my head before bringing up my sword, "No! Enough of this-"
"Stop right there!" He shouted, holding a now yellow finger up. "I'm not even done with this! Someone like you could never understand… THE PAIN OF A LOVELESS LOSER!"
With a mighty roar he grabbed one of the wooden chairs before smashing it over a desk, "How it feels to be… FOREVER ALONE!"
The floor seemed to quake as he lifted up his left leg and stomped down hard, "When your only romantic interests are DATING SIMS AND WAIFUS!"
"Please no," I mumbled to myself, "Knowing one of this type of person was enough…"
"I HEARD THAT!" The guildy roared, turning bright orange. "See?! You don't even want to associate with me!"
"Have you tried… You know, going out on dates?" I tried weakly.
"Of course I have!" He turned pink, "But all of them end in disasters! So than I tried picking up women and those were just even worse!"
Wait… Picking up women?
If they all ended up like Lan than could they have been?!
"Hold on a second! Are you the one who's been causing the fainting reports on the news?!"
"Wait shit it's on the news?!"
"Of course it's on the news!"
"WHY IS IT ON THE NEWS I DON'T WANT THAT KIND OF ATTENTION!"
"THAN DON'T DO SOMETHING SO STUPID!"
"ARGH!" He bashed his fist in to another desk, "It's not my fault! I'm just really bad at this pick up thing!"
"How do you mess up so bad you cause them to faint?!" I retorted.
"It's my ability!" He raised his hands defensively as his skin turned blue, "You see this?! This is my ability!"
I raised an eyebrow, "You… made them faint just by changing the color of your skin?"
"You think I'm so much of a loser that all I can do is that?!" Hey! Don't put words in my mouth! "No! The colors my skin changes into are a special kind of color! They are specifically designed to put whoever looks at them in a hypnotic trance! Once in this state, I can implant suggestions on how they should act! This is True Heart's Colors! ...Though I uh, it sometimes works on what my subconscious is thinking too so I end up accidentally messing with their heads."
Wait, with what he just said…
The blood drained out of my face.
"Hm?" he mumbled, tuning back to green. "What's with that look on your face?"
"You…" I began, "What suggestions did you put in Lan's head? What suggestions did you put in my head?!"
"She was an acciden- Wait, your head?" He raised up a glance at his hands as they changed to yellow. "...Oh."
And then a smirk crossed his face, "Tell me, can you move?"
I raised my sword. Okay that was still good so I should be fin-
"Hold it!" He shouted and I stopped.
I…
What?
"I see I see…" He raised a hand to his chin, "It seems that I put the suggestion 'Stop whenever I'm talking' into your head subconsciously."
"Then shut up!" I yelled back, moving towar-
"Wait a second." He lifted a finger, "So at the moment all I need to do is keep talking for you to not move right? Well there's something I've been meaning to ask you… Why are you a magical girl?! You self-identify as a guy right?!"
"Of course I do!" I yelled, "I don't know why I was given this power either… But if it's to protect the things that I love then I'll use it!"
"Wow, that sounded like what someone right out of a tv show would say!" He exclaimed, "But I do admit, you look much better this way."
"Um-"
"Honestly I'm at a loss at what to do now that this little factoid has come up." Chameleo Guildy shrugged, taking a seat at the desk. "I suppose that now I should probably keep talking in order to avoid any pain right? Yeah, so after yelling a bit I think I've started to calm down, sort of chillax you know? No wait, who even uses the word Chillax? That fell out of favor in like the 80s. Or was it the 70s? I don't know, whatever decade coined the word Radical. Radical…. The hell does that word even mean? That something is Rad? But what is Rad? Is it something that's cool? Or awsome? Whatever, I'm getting side tracked. Anyways now that I've brought up the word chillax I just want to say like the whole thing with your friend was kind of an accident. I started hitting on her and she freaked out and than I accidently caused her to relax too much and than she ended up like that and I'd snap her out of it but she'd have just fainted or something and I didn't really mean to do that and like you know how it is-"
"-Hey you're her friend right? If you really aren't going out with her as you say then do you know what kind of things that she likes? Like I mean I went after her because she was cute but I don't want to completely erase her personality. I want to just like, make sure she's still kept as you know uh… Lan. You know I don't' think I ever got her full name. Is it Hikari? Because you know, I bet she's a really bright girl. Not sure though. I wish she'd change her hair color to red but ya know, blue is fine as well. I guess, It's not that different from Red right? Besides you know, being the exact opposite of Red. Oooh! How about purple? What do you think about her having Purple hair?"
"Please…" I groaned from where I stood, "Stop talking."
"Now that's just rude! I'll have you know that manners are really important when you're communicating with someone. If you want someone to do something for you then you gotta make them want to do it. See now I don't want to stop talking. Anyways, purple hair… Hm does she play video games as well? Because that would make her the perfect girl for me not gonna lie. Video games are just so much easier to deal with than reality to be honest. You know, because in games you can at least win while in reality all you can do is live and stuff. Anyways-"
[] Power through the suggestion and shut him up
[] He's gotta stop talking sometime right?
