Avoid Yandere Constellation

When we arrived at the mansion with Skaya, somehow, Lise and Kage had come to greet us.

“Welcome back, young master.”

“Master. You’re a bit late today?”

“This is the normal time. Yesterday was too early.”

At my answer, Kage ignored me and looked at Skaya, who was standing behind me.

“Master, how long has it been since you broke off your engagement, and you’re already chasing after women?”

“What are you talking about? She’s just a childhood friend.”

“Master, my parents always said that there’s no such thing as friendship between a man and a woman.”

What? How old is this girl to be giving me advice? Listening to her, you’d think she’s had at least a hundred relationships.

I was so shocked that I couldn’t speak, and Kage seemed to be enjoying herself as she said something she shouldn’t have.

“And of all people, you meet a middle-aged woman like her.”

Before Kage could finish her sentence, Skaya gave her a sinister smile and, without chanting, shot a brilliant fire from her hand.

-Whoosh!

“How did you manage to meet such a young beauty? You’re so lucky, Master!”

What a turnaround.

As soon as Kage finished speaking, Skaya smiled and withdrew her magic.

“I always feel this, but Kage, if you just kept quiet, you’d be halfway there.”

“Eek! You’re the last person who should be saying that!”

What are you talking about? I’m the one who’s keeping quiet.

As Kage and I bickered, Lise and Skaya greeted each other.

“It’s been a while, Skaya.”

“Yeah, it has been. But you look like something good has happened. Did you do something with that guy as soon as he broke off his engagement?”

“No, no! It’s not like that.”

At Skaya’s question, Lise looked flustered and embarrassed.

How do you see me as such a piece of trash?

Of course, it’s undeniable that Lise is my type, but even so, I’m not the kind of trash who would get involved with my maid just because my engagement was broken off.

To begin with, Lise also seems to be trying to maintain a certain distance.

As I was lost in thought, Lise tilted her head and asked me.

“By the way, young master, what brings you here with Skaya?”

“Hmm? Well…”

It’s not a problem to say that Skaya is going to teach me magic.

Lise, Kage, and Thomas all know that I’m training in magic.

But the problem is that if I tell them, I’ll have to explain the reason as well.

Hmm. Should I just be honest?

As I was pondering,

“This guy got into a fight with a student, so I agreed to teach him magic.”

Skaya explained, leaving out the important parts.

Lise and Kage looked at me with a ‘that’s what we thought’ expression and shook their heads.

What? Why are you looking at me like that?

.

.

.

Skaya’s explanation was too brief, so I explained it to them in detail.

After hearing the whole story, the two of them nodded in understanding.

“I thought you’d start acting up the day after the opening ceremony.”

“To be honest, I thought so too.”

What kind of image do you have of me?

Of course, considering Kanie’s reputation, it’s understandable, but even though I’ve been in Kanie’s body for the longest time, it still hurts to hear such words from them.

“Anyway, that’s how it is, and Skaya has agreed to help me for a week.”

“Hmm. I see. By the way, that bastard Ogteen finally crossed the line, didn’t he?”

Lise seemed to be using harsher language than usual, but it must be my imagination.

“By the way, what do you mean by ‘finally’?”

“Oh, the fact that he’s been eyeing you since the first semester.”

So, he’s just a thug.

“Since I was by your side at the time, he didn’t cross any lines.”

If he had touched me back then, Lise would have taken revenge somehow.

As Lise finished speaking, Kage looked up at me with a curious expression.

“Master, are you confident you can beat that thug Ogteen?”

“Hmm… I don’t know. I’ll have to fight him to find out.”

To be honest, in the game, Ogteen was just an extra, nothing more, nothing less. He was a character that would fall with a few manipulations.

The problem is that I’m not Kim Soo-yong.

Right now, I’m Kanie, who is as good as an extra.

Of course, I’ve worked hard since the I possessed Kaine, but I’m still no more than an extra.

“Don’t worry. If my guess is correct, after training with me for a week, you’ll be able to beat Ogteen easily.”

“That’s right.”

From Skaya’s confident expression, it seems that Ogteen’s skills are not as good as I thought.

So Skaya and I headed to the training ground in the mansion to practice magic.

.

.

.

We arrived at the training ground. Skaya took out a notebook from her pocket dimension ring and opened it.

“Hmm. These two will do.”

She smiled in satisfaction as she looked at them.

“Since we don’t have much time, I’ll only teach you two spells in a week.”

“Two?”

“Yes. One is the Physical Enhancement you used today, and the other is Mental Enhancement.”

“Hmm? I expected the former, but the latter is unexpected.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. To be honest, I expected Physical Enhancement, but I didn’t think you’d ask me to learn Mental Enhancement. Honestly, it’s not that helpful in a fight, compared to other spells.”

At my question, Skaya raised her index finger and shook it from side to side, clicking her tongue.

“Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Well, as you said, Mental Enhancement isn’t as helpful in a fight as other spells. But it’s absolutely necessary for you right now.”

Hmm? Why is it necessary for me right now?

Mental Enhancement only strengthens one’s mental power; it’s nothing more, nothing less.

It might help me focus a little better in a fight, but I don’t think it’s as efficient as other offensive spells.

But there are other ways to achieve the same effect.

However, there’s no way she could know about my secret.

So she probably didn’t say that with that in mind.

What made her think it was necessary for me?

As I pondered the Mental Enhancement skill, Skaya interrupted my thoughts by crossing her arms and saying,

“Well, seeing is better than hearing.”

I nodded at her words.

Skaya was about to demonstrate Physical Enhancement for me when I spoke up.

“Wait a minute. Let me take some doping first.”

“Doping?”

At my words, she tilted her head in confusion. Ignoring her reaction, I took out an experience potion from my pocket dimension ring and drank it.

It really feels like cheating to drink this.

“Now let’s begin.”

“I don’t know what that medicine is, but anyway, okay.”

With that, Skaya activated Physical Enhancement without even looking at the formula.

-Whoosh!

Ouch. Is this really a lowest-level spell?

It’s the same spell I used today, but the difference is like night and day.

Well, that’s to be expected.

I’ve been training my mana with doping during the vacation, but it’s only been a month.

On the other hand, Skaya has been training her mana every day since she was young, unlike me, so it’s only natural that there’s such a big difference.

“Well, as you know, Physical Enhancement is a lowest-level spell, but its effectiveness varies greatly depending on the user’s mana. In my case, I have more mana than most mages, so my Physical Enhancement is particularly high. But…”

Skaya released the Physical Enhancement and sighed deeply.

“Phew. To be honest, it’s not a very good spell for mages. As you know, mages usually don’t undergo physical training like knights. So even a little Physical Enhancement can cause a backlash.”

As she said this, she pointed at me with her index finger and continued.

“But you’re different, Kanie. From what I felt when I touched your body earlier, your physique is no less than that of most knight aspirants. In my opinion, with your mana, using Physical Enhancement will be almost effortless for you, unlike other mages.”

“Well, as you said, when I used it in class today, I felt a little fatigue, but other than that, I didn’t feel anything.”

At my words, she nodded with an ‘as I thought’ expression.

“That’s almost no backlash. Unlike you, my body is already tired.”

“Well, it does look that way.”

Without exaggeration, she was sweating profusely even after using Physical Enhancement for a short time.

“So, why is Mental Enhancement important to me?”

“No matter how strong you are, if you keep training Physical Enhancement, you’ll run out of mana quickly. To endure it, Mental Enhancement is absolutely necessary.”

“Ah! That’s true.”

Even though my body is stronger than most mages, if I keep training Physical Enhancement, I’ll run out of mana quickly.

But if I train while using Mental Enhancement?

I’ll be able to endure it for much longer than if I were just training Physical Enhancement.

Of course, it’ll be extremely difficult, but it’s not a big deal for me since I have the Cross of Purity.

Skaya smiled at my understanding expression and raised one corner of her mouth.

“Anyway, the explanation is over. Let’s start training right now.”

“But… how do we train? According to Professor Sion, the most effective way to activate magic is to imprint the formula in the brain. Does that mean I have to memorize it today?”

“Well, I would normally recommend that method, but we don’t have much time, do we? So we’ll do it a different way.”

A different method? Is there such a thing?

Since I could just learn spells by increasing skill points in the game, I have no idea how to do it.

As I was struggling to understand, she smiled kindly and said,

“It’s simple. I’ll cast Physical Enhancement and Mental Enhancement on you. Then your body and brain will unconsciously remember everything about those spells.”

“Will that method imprint the formula too?”

“Yes. The formula itself is made of mana, but…”

Hmm? Why did she trail off at the end?

From her explanation, it seems that this method is the most effective.

…But something feels off.

Just as my instincts sensed danger, Skaya whispered softly.

“It won’t work in one go, and there will be tremendous pain… but I don’t care.”

Damn. What did I just hear?

It won’t work in one go, and there will be tremendous pain?

…I must have misheard.

[The Goddess of Fate wishes you a peaceful rest.]

I tried to deny reality, but the Constellation sent a message as if she had read my mind.

…Damn. That’s probably true.

If there was such a method, Professor Sion would have told us during class.

But since she didn’t,

it must be because the pain is so extreme that there’s no other way.

“Um… do I have a choice, Master?”

At my question, she smiled innocently and said firmly,

“No.”

With that, Skaya cast Physical Enhancement and Mental Enhancement on me.

That day, I felt pain that was no exaggeration, like my balls were being crushed.

And so a week passed.
