Let's Train Heroine

Lucan was fast asleep in his guest room at the Grand Temple, his mind drifting through a haze of half-remembered dreams. The faint sounds of the temple settling for the night barely registered in his consciousness. However, a soft creak of the door opening brought him to full alertness. His eyes remained closed, his breathing steady, as he sensed the presence of two figures entering the room.

These were not ordinary intruders. Lucan could feel the malice radiating from them even without looking. His mind quickly assessed the situation.

Erili's doing. The second-generation priest he had slapped earlier today was making his move. It was a trap—a stupid one.

In the game, this guy did many despicable things to get Maris, but she was just too kind and spared him more than once. Of course, in the end, he died, but not before causing a lot of trouble.

In Lucan's room, two women entered. They were Erili's lovers, handpicked for this scheme. One of them, the more confident of the two, moved toward the bed with a determined look in her eyes. She began undressing, her intention clear. Once she was naked, she would scream, and Erili would burst in, 'catching' Lucan in a compromising position. It was a simple plan, but too simple.

There were many loopholes that could easily expose Lucan's innocence.

Lucan allowed the first woman to undress completely, remaining still and silent. Just as she was about to let out a scream, Lucan vanished from the bed, moving faster than the eye could follow. He reappeared behind her, one hand wrapping around her bare breast, the other covering her mouth.

The woman's eyes widened in shock as she felt the cold touch of Lucan's fingers against her skin. She tried to struggle, but her strength was nothing compared to his.

Lucan's voice was low, chilling. "This plan is really too stupid. Do you really think doing this can destroy my reputation? But... it's better to kill you to eliminate future troubles."

Before the woman could react, Lucan applied swift, precise pressure to her neck, snapping it in an instant. Her body went limp, her life extinguished without a sound. Lucan let her fall to the floor.

The second woman, who had been standing by the door, was frozen in terror. She hadn't expected this outcome and now realized the gravity of her mistake. Lucan's gaze shifted to her, and the next second she was also killed by Lucan.

After killing the two women, Lucan turned his attention to the next stage of his plan. With a fluid motion, he disappeared from the room.

Outside, Erili was waiting impatiently in the shadows, listening for the scream that would signal the beginning of his revenge. Minutes passed, and nothing happened. Anxiety crept into his thoughts. What's taking so long? He started towards the room, but before he could reach it, Lucan materialized behind him, a shadow in the dimly lit corridor.

Without a word, Lucan grabbed Erili by the back of his robe and, with a flash of movement, they were both gone from the temple. Erili didn't even have time to register what was happening until they were deep in the forest, far from the safety of the Grand Temple.

Lucan released him roughly, tossing him to the ground. Erili scrambled to his feet, his heart pounding with fear as he realized how isolated they were. The moonlight barely filtered through the thick canopy above, casting eerie shadows on the forest floor.

"W-What are you doing?!" Erili stammered, trying to regain some semblance of control. "You can't do this! I'm the son of the Archpriest!"

Lucan stared at him, his expression unreadable. "And that's supposed to matter to me?"

Erili took a step back, his mind racing for a way out. "If you harm me, my father will—"

"Your father can't do a thing," Lucan interrupted, his voice cold. "You wanted to destroy me, to ruin my reputation. But now, you're the one who's going to disappear."

Panic surged through Erili as Lucan advanced on him. "No! You can't do this! I'll—"

Before he could finish, Lucan vanished again, leaving Erili alone in the dark, dense forest. The silence around him was deafening, broken only by the distant calls of nocturnal creatures. Erili's breath came in quick, shallow gasps as he realized how truly alone he was.

Hours passed as Erili wandered aimlessly, his fear growing with each step. He was no warrior, no trained fighter. The sheltered life he had lived under his father's protection had left him weak and helpless in a situation like this. His arrogance had been his undoing.

As the first light of dawn began to break through the trees, the sounds of the forest became more menacing. Growls and rustling in the underbrush signaled the presence of wild animals. Erili tried to run, but his strength was fading. He tripped, falling into the damp earth.

The last thing he heard was the low growl of a predator closing in, and then the forest was silent once more.

Lucan returned to the Grand Temple, slipping back into his room as if nothing had happened. He looked at the lifeless bodies of the two women on the floor.

Lucan didn't need to kill them—their plan was foolish, and he could have easily avoided any trouble. However, even if Erili's plan failed, he wouldn't have faced any real punishment and would eventually come back with another, equally stupid plan. Lucan didn't want to deal with such small problems, so he eliminated them.

"Well, with this, my strength as an S Class will be exposed to Maris," Lucan thought.

Maris had been watching him closely, knowing that Lucan might get into trouble because of her. She had even left some strong stuffed toys to protect him.

However, Lucan handled this problem by himself and displayed a strength that only an S Class could have.

"Now, I can expose this strength to everyone. With how much attention people will pay to me, I don't want some small fry to speak."

Now, only S Class or above would challenge or speak ill of him; others had lost that qualification.

Being Maris's guardian is tough, and in the future, when he takes her as his wife, it will be even tougher.

Lucan doesn't care about society's opinions or norms, but Maris needs to stay within society, so he needs to be worthy of Maris according to societal standards. Moreover there was something he want to do, which will require society's help.

Anyway, I have to clean up these two bodies.

Lucan looked at the bodies on the floor.
