:  “You have made it through quite a number of trials and tribulations. There is an instinct that only people who have survived those sorts of situations can develop. Call it a wealth of experience.”

:  “A field rat knows to change its den before the heavy rains come. Barusu’s instinct isn’t to be made light of.”
human
:  “That’s already making pretty light of it…but I get it.”
gpt
:  They all gave their own reasons for trusting what he claimed to be simply intuition. They were all telling him that even if it was just his instinct, they trusted him. He felt a wave of relief at their stance. Even from Julius. Rubbing his nose for a moment at the feeling, Subaru looked away from his comrades. Because of that, he didn’t notice it. The first to notice was Ram.

Ram:  “Barusu, that’s—” Ram’s voice was dead serious.
gpt
:  “Eh?” Following her gaze, he saw her looking at his chest. Looking down, he saw it, too. There was an unusual red point of light shining on the chest of his cloak.
human
:  That instant, a phrase popped into his head. It was one that didn’t fit this world at all, though. —A laser pointer.
gpt
:  “—Ngh!” The next instant, all his comrades moved in a miraculous way. —A beam of light unleashed from the watchtower flew straight at Subaru with terrifying speed and accuracy. It was death incarnate, moving faster than the wind, piercing its prey without a noise. That one attack would vaporize Subaru Natsuki, killing him without giving any time to react—
human
:  “—I won’t let that happen!” —if he had been alone when it took aim at him. A shield of ice the size of a hand appeared on Subaru’s chest where the red point of light was shining. It was a magic defense Emilia had immediately created to protect him. The beam of light’s aim was on target, and the ice intercepted it just like she intended—
gpt
Emilia:  "No way?!"
human
:  It was only a split second. The white light was slowed by the shield of ice for just an instant before vaporizing the barrier and passing through. Not only did the ice not stop the light, it didn’t even delay for a whole second. But that split second was enough.

Julius:  “Shiii—!” Julius swung his knight’s sword, unleashing a full-strength thrust with his full body weight behind it, hitting the light that was about to skewer Subaru. His face was dead serious as he perfectly tracked the ray of light whose force had weakened ever so slightly from Emilia’s ice wall. The light spun and deflected away, landing in the sand beside them. A white smoke rose from it. For the first time, Subaru had avoided a direct hit from it and could see that it was—
human
Subaru:  “…A needle?” The unknown object was glowing as it stuck out of the sand. In the dark of night, it was an oppressively brilliant intense white—and it looked like a long, thin needle.
