Baddie Distribution System

"Hey, are you trying to attack—EUEK!"

Dapper moved in a blur, stabbing the nearest boy in the ribs. With a swift twist of his dagger, he yanked it out in one fluid motion, splitting the ribs and tearing through flesh—some organs even dangled grotesquely from the gaping wound. Blood gushed out like a fountain as the boy dropped to the ground, twitching violently.

"KILLER!! HE’S TRYING TO KILL US! STOP HIM!" the others screamed in horror before charging at Dapper. Some moved at terrifying speed, one even scaling the walls like a gecko.

’So this is how Combat-type systems work...’ Dapper thought, sidestepping a sword swipe that nearly took off his head. ’They don’t just grant skills, but actual superhuman traits.’

The one who’d attacked was a blond-haired boy wielding dual swords. His fluid technique suggested a Swordsmanship-type system. Dapper leapt backward, but the others kept closing in—one even leapt from the wall with animal-like reflexes.

’Fuck. I wish I still had Sprint.’ Dapper cursed inwardly. He had hoped to show them that Mages weren’t limited to casting spells. But the situation had escalated too fast. He extended his hand to cast Fireball—

But suddenly, someone stepped in front of him—it was Shinro.

"Wind Burst!" Shinro roared, hurling a massive gust of wind from his palm. A powerful blast surged forward, sending the boys flying through the air.

Shinro stood hunched over, panting heavily. It was clear to Dapper that he had poured all his Mana into that one spell—it had been strong, but draining.

However, the gecko-like boy scaling the wall wasn’t done. He kept coming, now fully visible to Dapper. His body had partially transformed into a beast with razor-sharp fangs, a forked tongue that flicked around his lips, and clawed fingers sharp enough to shred bone.

In a heartbeat, he pounced—aiming straight for Dapper’s face.
