I Possessed the Heroine’s Teacher

Honestly, I didn’t care whether the Crown Prince or the nobles died. Honestly, they were all trash that had hurt and burdened my master. Still, since my master had his stance and orders, I wasn’t planning to just take it easy. There were a few who tried to approach us, taking advantage of the chaos, but I was able to suppress all of them. Their skills were, at best, a little better than an orc’s.

Ah, if this were the old days, I could have wiped out these insects by myself. Damn it, that damn god was probably watching me suffer and laughing. I just wanted to smack that damn little brat’s backside.

“Lightning, become an arrow!”

A lightning arrow shot from my fingertips and pierced the abdomens of three men at once. It was my original magic that increased the speed and power of the lightning magic my master liked. But even if I showed my self-made magic in front of my genius master, he wouldn’t praise me… After all, the base of this magic was his magic too.

Honestly, using magic against these weaklings who don’t even know how to block magic is pointless. I need to take care of someone with some skill for my master to notice me, and I think I’d get praised if I dealt with the high-ranking members of the Black Round Table.

In the old days, I would have handled guys like them alone… I stamped my foot in frustration.

“Damn god brat!”

[Did you call me?]

“Shit, you scared me!”

Before I knew it, a crow sent by that damn little god had perched on my shoulder. The crow laughed loudly and then spoke in that damn god’s voice.

[You’ve been rude after I came all the way here despite being busy. Isn’t that a bit too much?]

“Why are you here? Did you come to laugh at me after sealing up my magic and spells? If you’re caught talking to me, things will get troublesome, so leave.”

[Our conversation can’t be heard by anyone, though? You’re being too harsh on the god who even turned back time for you.]

“Who asked you about that? Why do you keep coming here and causing a fuss? Do you have an interest in me?”

Then, the crow started vomiting on the ground. Ah, so this crow ate some small fish today.

[…I’m sorry. This crow throws up when it hears disgusting sounds… As for why I came, it’s not a big deal, I just came to temporarily release some of your power seals.]

“What?”

[Just 10% of the sealed mana, and I’ll temporarily release two of the contracts with the Spirit Kings.]

When I was young, I was taught that there’s always a trap in a strangely sweet and alluring contract. Master told me to be suspicious of anyone who imposes such conditions. And this little god was definitely a bastard.

“…What’s the price? You’re not the kind of god who would offer that for free.”

[You’re quick to catch on. The price…]

The crow whispered the price into my ear. It was a bothersome request that I could never accept, and the conditions were ones that my pride wouldn’t allow.

“Get lost. It’s fine for now, since we only have small fries to deal with.”

[Hahaha… Is that really the case…?]

“What the hell does that mean…”

Before I could finish my sentence, I realized the meaning of those words. The dangerous presence I could feel now, the familiar and disgusting mana. It was one of those bastards. One of the ones who killed my master… Was one of them from the Black Round Table?

Before I knew it, a woman in a robe had appeared in front of me. She took off her hood and spoke.

“Wow~ you killed them pretty flamboyantly. Those were my beloved subordinates, you know~ You’re definitely Werner’s disciple, right? You really have a talent for being a nuisance.”

A beautiful woman with bright pink hair and green lipstick, the witch Sibella, who had contributed to killing my master.

“… Sibella.”

“You know my name? We’ve never met face to face, though I’ve observed you from a distance, but we’ve never exchanged introductions.”

“Sibella… You bitch…”

I had to eliminate the dangerous elements. I wanted to track down these trash, but I couldn’t because I was with my master. But now, she had come here on her own, so I was both glad and angry.

“I know you’re quite a skilled one… but do you think you can defeat me?”

“What are you?”

“I’m a high-ranking member of the Black Round Table. I sit in Gearhart’s seat. It’s me, Sibella.”

“Oh, I see.”

So what’s your point? Even so, Sibella’s fate of dying doesn’t change. It might be tough with my current state, but still.

“Lightning, become a beast that devours the enemy.”

I shot a lightning bolt shaped like the mouth of a beast at Sibella. With just this one shot, even an ogre would be roasted in a single blow…

“Hmm… Not bad.”

“What?”

“Oh, you didn’t know? My ability is magic devouring… Whatever magic you fire, I can turn it into mana and absorb it. Wizards are no match for me.”

When my master was fighting, he had kicked me out of the barrier and fought alone, so I didn’t know… How on earth did my master defeat this guy? This guy, who was practically the nemesis of wizards? With my current condition, I couldn’t win against her. Damn, what should I do…

“Move aside and I won’t kill you. There was no order to kill you.”

“How kind of you, it’s almost tear-jerking.”

“So what should I do? Should I deal with the Crown Prince, who took refuge inside? Or should I go down to the first floor and kill Werner, who seems like he’ll be a hindrance?”

“….Hey.”

“Huh?”

“What did you just say? Who do you think you’re talking to, you filthy bitch rolling around in the street, talking about killing someone?”

Just like back then, trying to take my master away from me… I couldn’t let this damn bitch live.

“Your presence is impressive, but… Do you think you can win against me just with that? That’s called overconfidence.”

“Do you know what you’re doing right now? You’re committing suicide.”

It’s a shame, but to take down that bitch, I had to regain at least a bit of my old power. Though I hadn’t fully agreed, I still had to accept that little god’s condition.

“Hey, little god, that condition is still valid, right?”

Then, the crow perched on my shoulder and spoke with a smile.

[As a punishment, I’m adding another condition. Spread your arms wide and shout.]

“Damn, your temper is awful…”

I spread my arms and shouted, as the little god instructed.

“Oh… Almighty god! Please lend your power to this foolish girl! I am a weak and foolish girl!”

Ah, damn… Ugh, this is so embarrassing… I really want to kill that damn little god right now.

“Is this bitch crazy…”

Sibella was looking at me like I was some crazy woman. The crow grabbed its belly with its wings and laughed, then spoke again in the little god’s voice.

[Aha… But come to think of it, you’re not even a girl, are you? Shouldn’t you change your first-person pronoun? Thinking back to your age before the regression, you’re… 2…]

“Shut up and give me my power back. Before I really kill you.”

[Oh, how scary… Okay, okay, I understand.]

I could feel my power returning a little. The contract with the Spirit Kings was… Fire and ice, maybe? I guess I’ll have to use it begrudgingly.

I exhaled a powerful mana and said to Sibella.

“Will you burn to death in fire? Or will you be torn apart by ice?”

“Why does the quality of the mana you’re emitting suddenly…”

“Wrong answer. Guess you’ll have to die then. Though you’d die either way.”

“O… Oh, no! My magic absorption can absorb any magic! No matter how powerful the magic is…”

“Really? Then try absorbing this.”

I grabbed both of Sibella’s hands. And I concentrated mana into both of her hands. Come on, damn Spirit Kings.

“Dragon’s flame, released by the Spirit King of Fire, burn the evil right now and restore order.”

“What the hell is this…”

“Breath of the Beast, released by the Spirit King of Ice, freeze the unclean right now and turn it to pure white.”

From my left hand, the old man Spirit King released the flame of the Dragon’s transformation, and from my right hand, the old woman Spirit Queen released the breath of absolute zero.

“No matter how powerful the magic is, if I absorb it… Wh-what? I can’t absorb this…”

“They may be old and a bit senile, but… did you really think you could absorb the fire and cold they emit? You’re such an idiot.”

Sibella’s one half was burning fiercely, while the other half was frozen solid. Ah, looking back, I should have just killed her with a sword or my bare hands. I shouldn’t have given that damn little god any amusement.

“Please stop… Just kill me…”

“These spells burn and freeze the soul itself… Even if you die, the pain will continue… that suffering will…”

“That…”

Sibella said that, then collapsed. To suffer even after death… I wanted to cheer and feel triumphant. If I could make these damn bastards suffer, what’s the big deal with the shame?

[Well, service time’s over! I’ll be taking back the power.]

“No, hey! That’s what I got after enduring that humiliation…”

[Didn’t I tell you? I’m just lending it to you temporarily.]

“No, that ‘temporarily’ was way too short! Hey, damn little god!”

[See? This is what happens when you call a god a brat and act all dirty. If you were more devout, it would be better for you. And I can’t forgive things like regression perks. Do you think giving those to you would not cause trouble?]

As expected, I want to kill this little god one day. But only if I can finish what I need to do with my master.
