"All artifacts are based on magic stones; they're even used in wands. These stones are what initiated the development of artifacts; they act as a conduit for the caster's mana and are essential for casting spells," the teacher said.
Honestly, I still don't understand why I'm in class, even though I don't have to go. Maybe I'm just having fun with a couple who...
Sleeping...
Honestly, they look so cute right now. This lesson, about magical artifacts, was being taught in class, so there were no tables or chairs, and all the students were standing.
And somehow, Rae and Clare fell asleep standing, leaning against each other. If I'd had a phone, I would have definitely taken a picture of this.
"So, today you'll be practicing launching magic projectiles, the intended target being a monster!" the teacher said, to which all the students began walking toward the targets that would act as monsters.
No seriously, it was like Harry Potter, except for the awkward phrases...
"Miss Miyabi, maybe you'd like to try this time?" the teacher asked, approaching me and holding out his wand while the other students continued practicing.
I could only sigh, but I nodded and took the wand.
Seeing this, all the students stopped practicing and retreated to the side, which raised questions in my mind.
"They're just afraid they might get hit by your attack," Clare said, approaching me.
"Why? I've never used magic before, so I'm not sure it will work," I replied. "Well, they're sure you're really, really strong with magic," Clare said, and I could only sigh in resignation.
In any case, I wasn't going to back down. I just wanted to see if I had any magic at all.
Pointing my wand at the target, I concentrated my mana—if that was what it was, since feelings were unfamiliar to me—and tried to transfer everything onto the shelf, which...
*EXPLOSION*
The next second, a wall of fire, about three meters high, erupted from my wand, and like a bullet, it flew forward, scorching everything in its path for several hundred meters...
I... What even happened? How could this be?
"It's simply astounding..." the teacher said, but I didn't think so. After all, I had burned down quite a large part of the forest... And even the neighboring trees caught fire.
I didn't want the forest to burn completely, so I repeated the same thing, only this time, instead of fire, water burst from the wand, extinguishing all the fires.
"Even water magic..." I heard the teacher whisper.
Honestly, I didn't know how I could do it myself, but most likely that Lady Angel was to blame.
"Okay, class, let's gather, now we'll move on to describing the elements," the teacher said, coming to his senses.
Hey, old man, doesn't it bother you that I destroyed part of the forest? You shouldn't, I don't know, tell the principal or anyone else, although who am I kidding? I know I've become practically untouchable, not only because of fear of me and my power, but also because of Clare's parents.
Well, to their credit, all the students recovered pretty quickly, including the princes, but...
I didn't like the look in the first prince's eyes at all... No, there wasn't anything lustful or obscene about it, just... strange, as if he was up to something.
Anyway, I don't care about political games, even if we'll kill the king soon...
After a short lecture, practice began again, in which I no longer participated, but simply stood next to Rae, watching her attempt to damage the earthen wall she'd made herself.
But the next moment, a fire attack flew at her green wall. Rae and I turned to see Clare smiling arrogantly...
Has she gone into villain mode again?
But Rae wasn't fazed, and with a happy face, she began spamming earthen walls, which Clare destroyed... What kind of game is this?
"I see you're such an inseparable couple?" a voice said from the side, while Clare and Rae were practically kissing.
The First Prince and Yu stood there.
"Always!" Clare replied, proudly puffing out her chest.
"You destroyed the target beautifully, you never cease to amaze me." At first, I thought she was saying this to Rae, but it turned out she was addressing me, as she approached quite close.
I couldn't help but frown, and I pulled out my kotana and its sheath, which rested against his chest, and with one movement, pushed him away.
"Don't take up my personal space," I said.
He wasn't the least bit embarrassed and approached again, only this time from a distance.
"Oh, come on, I was just complimenting you," he said.
"Shove your praise up your ass," I said.
I saw the students stop and all look at me. After all, I'd just insulted the First Prince.
"You..."
"MONSTER!" someone shouted, drawing attention to themselves.
Everyone turned in that direction and saw a large slime...
Br...
I don't really want to fight that, and besides, I know Rae will get a slime familiar...
In any case, a general panic broke out, and the students began to scatter.
"Clare, Rae, can you handle this?" I asked, to which they both nodded, raising their wands.
In this case, the sword would be useless unless it was magical, and Clare's wasn't magical, so they needed to use magic.
"And please, don't let him catch you," I said, shuddering slightly.
Especially if he puts out tentacles to catch them... I'm already sexually irritated by them; I don't want to see them covered in slime tentacles...
Anyway, Rae, she erected earthen walls around the slime.
"Order everyone to attack him!" she yelled at the teacher, nodding at something.
"Attack it!" the amplifier shouted, and all the students stood up, casting magic nearby, which was useless. Soon enough, the slime broke free from its earthen prison and began grabbing everyone in its path...
I don't want to watch hentai in real life...
The slime tried to grab Rae, but she jumped back, using fire magic, and destroyed one of the slime's tentacles.
These tentacles tried to grab me too, but I dodged them too; I definitely wouldn't want to be covered in slime...
Just thinking about it disgusts me.
"Rae, Clare, empty yourselves and aim for the slime's center, that's where its core is," I said. The two girls nodded and stood next to me, raising their wands.
I saw several tentacles trying to stop them, but I stopped them by cutting them down.
Soon enough, they finished casting their magic, and a whirlwind of several types of magic erupted from their wands, forming an arrow that quickly struck the monster's core. The moment the core was destroyed, the monster exploded. Luckily, Rae had managed to erect earthen shields to keep the slime from hitting us.
At that very moment, Clare and Rae were surrounded by their classmates, and I went to the bushes.
"Don't be afraid, little one, I won't hurt you," I said, looking at the small, trembling slime.
The large slime was most likely either the baby's mother or father.
I crouched down and extended my hand. The baby was hesitant at first, but soon climbed onto my hand...
And I thought the slime would be quite unpleasant, but it was quite soft... And somewhat reminiscent of jelly.
"Sit here," I said, reaching for my pocket, where the little one had climbed in.
"I hope Rae likes her familiar," I said, heading toward the loving couple.
