I Possessed the Heroine’s Teacher

No matter what kind of fight it is, the ones who suffer the most are the mediators. The Crown Prince raised his hand, trying to stop the dispute between the two with a UN-like attitude.

“Stop this meaningless fight and try to settle things more peacefully…”

“A duke? How laughable… just a guard dog tasked with handling the beasts in the desolate northern land…”

“Was it the Glacé family? I heard the current head of the family is involved in corruption, and even fathered a bastard child with a young maid.”

“That’s all slander!”

“And I heard he was rejected after trying to propose to our mother.”

Wow, what? He proposed to Glacies’s mother, Melissa? That gothic granny? Is this some kind of pedophilia?

“Don’t insult my father! Even if he had a bit of an… adventurous side, he’s still a great man!”

Then, that idiot Hoon joined in.

“Right! He’s the one who had a deep discussion with me about the ideal color of maid underwear!”

That doesn’t help at all. But I still think white lace is the way to go.

“We had an intense debate over pink cotton panties vs black cotton panties!”

These idiots… I really can’t leave these corrupt fools alone.

“Sigh… These guys aren’t even worth listening to anymore. They’re just so low-class and pathetic…”

They really have such base and ridiculous tastes, don’t they? These idiots don’t even know the beauty of white lace panties under a maid’s black outfit.

But then, Hoon suddenly went off the rails.

“Wait, did you just say Glacies-chan?”

“Glacies Winterheart. Don’t just add random titles.”

“Why would someone as kind and sweet as you follow such a wicked person?”

What the hell is this bastard saying now? I’m a kind person, how dare he?

Then Glacies grabbed Hoon by the collar.

“If you disrespect my fiancé, Werner, just one more time, I’ll rip your disgusting mouth into a thousand pieces.”

“Ah, I understand now. So that’s it.”

What the hell does he understand, that idiot? Does he have a brain?

“Surely, you’re being threatened by that man because of an arranged marriage, right?”

I was frustrated. It was Werner who was running away, and it was the Winterheart family who pressured us. Even if my mouth gets smashed and torn, I speak the truth. I needed to fix this idiot’s mouth.

“That’s enough, outsider. My engagement with her is none of your lowly business.”

“Shut up! You octopus bastard, using power and force to threaten Glacies-chan!”

What the hell are you talking about, you idiot? How would I, with no backing, pressure the Duke’s family? Did this fool leave his common sense back in Japan? And why the hell am I an octopus? My hair’s thick!

“Sigh… Before I call the knights to kick you out…”

“Werner Alten! Let’s make a bet!”

What the hell is this idiot saying now?

“If I win, you’ll break off your engagement with Glacies-chan! If you win, you can take her away, but let’s duel!”

“No, she’s already my fiancée…”

“If you’re a man, don’t avoid this duel!”

“Sigh… Fine, but if you lose, you’ll follow my orders without a word.”

“Good!”

How could he agree to such a vague condition? Hoon’s an idiot, no, he’s a huge idiot.

“Werner-sama…”

“Don’t worry. I haven’t lived such a weak life that I’d lose to some little brat.”

Suddenly, Hoon pointed at me. Where the hell does he think he’s pointing?

“Hmph, you’re only confident now.”

“Oh? So what’s the challenge?”

“The duel will be a best of three! The first to win two out of three will be the winner. The challenges will be swordsmanship, hand-to-hand combat, and magic!”

I couldn’t help but laugh. It was like some newbie in front of Orgrimmar (orkish capital, WOW), not knowing what he’s doing, challenging me.

“Well, I’m not confident in hand-to-hand combat, but whatever, I’ll accept it since dealing with a bug crawling up is annoying.”

Just from that dialogue, he really sounds like a typical villain from an Isekai fantasy. But from what I’ve heard, most of those types of characters get discarded around episode 18 in manga. Even if it’s adapted into an anime, the animation’s usually crap.

“Hmph, don’t start talking nonsense later.”

But then, a girl with horns suddenly grabbed Hoon’s collar.

“Masato, be careful. No matter how ugly he’s become, that guy is one of the ‘Eight Heroes.’ He’s not someone to be taken lightly.”

“‘Eight Heroes’?”

“Yes, long ago, they were heroes who sealed countless demons, the Demon King, and the Dragon of the North.

The Holy Sword Hero Zig Dragnity.

The Savior Saint Media Reyes.

The Great Warrior Melchior Winterheart from the North.

The Vampire Queen of the Red Full Moon, Melissa Winterheart.

The strongest knight, Ricardo Carven.

The bandit who shook the continent, Squall Alten.

The Celestial Demon, Oh Cheonryeong.

And finally, the genius great mage, Werner Alten.”

“Hoo, you really were quite the impressive one.”

Hoon started looking me up and down. Should I just gouge his eyes out?

“To have a magic duel with someone like that… I wouldn’t recommend it.”

“Don’t worry. I have a skill granted by that little goddess.”

I really wanted to know what skill that little brat had granted him. Death reincarnation? Instant kill cheat? Was he some prime minister in the real world? Or did he bring a smartphone with him?

“As long as I have my skill, ‘Future Combat Foresight,’ this guy is nothing!”

That skill might be useful… but who the hell boasts about that kind of thing in front of the enemy? What’s his IQ? Probably somewhere close to that of a pill bug.

“Sigh… well, I don’t know how much help that skill or whatever will be, but try your best, outsider.”

“Hah! One day, I’ll make sure to knock that high nose down!”

The Crown Prince was sweating as he finally came up with a proposal.

“Then, let’s settle the conditions as the teacher and your outsider said… the location will be the Imperial City’s arena, and the time will be three days from now. How does that sound?”

“Sounds good.”

“Get ready, you bastard. I’ll defeat you and…”

“Hey, outsider… I’ve been watching you yap endlessly, and it’s just been crawling up my nerves. Don’t just call my fiancée by that random title. You lowly bug.”

This bastard’s flirting with Glacies is already annoying, but calling her “Glacies-chan” makes me want to lose it. I’ll make sure he scrubs every public restroom in the capital with a toothbrush, and it’ll shine so bright you can see your face in it.

Iris asked with an intrigued expression.

“…So you’re saying that annoying guy proposed a bet to you?”

“Well, it’s just a bit of entertainment.”

It was like punching a punching bag or grinding sesame seeds, a kind of amusement. Honestly, what could that kid even do?

‘That skill the little goddess supposedly gave him is a bit concerning, though.’

“Then, if your master loses, it’s goodbye forever for you, right Glacies, the Duke?”

Iris laughed mischievously and poked Glacies’s side.

“Sigh… This is why monkeys are… Werner-sama would never lose to such a brat.”

“Yeah, I guess. Unfortunately.”

“Then, if you understand, shut up and just go to bed…”

“Hehehe… I should’ve heard this… He said, ‘Glacies-chan! I’ll definitely save you!’ Haha, it’s so funny I’m about to lose my belly… Hahaha…”

Iris laughed, clutching her belly. Camellia also turned her head and covered her mouth, desperately trying to hold in her laughter.

“Just the thought of a bug like that sticking to her is already enough to make me disgusted, so please don’t join in, too.”

“Yeah, yeah, is there really a question about it, Glacies ‘chan’?”

“I’ve never liked the way you speak since the old days… Now, I’ll fix that bad habit of yours.”

“Ooh, you want to fight?”

The two immediately entered a standoff. Glacies drew her sword and spoke.

“This is just a lesson for someone younger. It’s not a fight.”

Iris sneered and started chanting.

“Light, my enemy…”

At this rate, the new house would probably be destroyed, so I had to stop them. Honestly, what’s the big deal about young people fighting each other? The issue is the house and the furniture. Especially that picture of the horse hanging on the wall—I quite like that one.

“Alright, Glacies-sama, calm down. Iris, stop with the magic…”

“But it was Glacies ‘chan’ who started it first.”

Iris covered her mouth slightly, lifting one corner of her lips. Ah, this is clearly a provocation.

“This damn…”

At this rate, Glacies was about to cause a serious problem, so I had to shut Iris up.

“Iris, if you keep provoking Glacies-sama like this, I’ll tell stories about you that’ll make you embarrassed.”

“Eh? I don’t have anything like that!”

“When you were 11, you drew a map on your blanket(wet the bed) and tried to explain it away as spilled juice…”

Iris’s face turned bright red as she covered my mouth, and Glacies started teasing her with the story, which led to a fight.

And then the horse painting frame on the wall broke, and the horse picture got torn. Dammit.
