Koizumi Akako went from initial shock to numbness, and finally to being completely plunged into deep self-doubt and philosophical reflection.
There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding...
She always believed herself to be a once-in-a-millennium genius in the magical world, the hope for the revival of red magic, and a being destined to lead the trend...
As soon as she stepped out of her house, the first "kind" she encountered used this unreasonable, brutal, and direct approach to teach her a lesson in what true "dimensional reduction attack" and "talent crushing" really meant.
"That's amazing, Lord Yuzuru! You're practically a reincarnation of the god of magic. You can learn it just by looking at it. Back when Lady Akako was learning this 'Starlight Shield,' she broke seven crystal balls."
In the corner, the magic mirror began to frantically make its presence known, its surface shimmering with a fawning light as it lavishly flattered Yuzuru.
That tone, that attitude.
They looked like they wanted to pounce on them and lick them.
Anyone who didn't know better would think that Yuzuru Nan was the one who had signed the soul contract with it.
Koizumi Akako watched from the sidelines, her forehead veins throbbing, her fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and her anger, which had just subsided, flared up again.
That damn mirror, it's a traitor, a fence-sitter!
Next time I'll definitely smash it into powder.
The magic mirror, oblivious to its master's murderous aura, continued to shout unrestrainedly, "Lord Yusheng, hurry, hurry, give it your all and completely subdue Lord Hongzi too! Then you'll be the new master of the castle, and I'll follow you from now on."
"Although Lady Hongzi has a bad temper, a sharp tongue, and is sometimes a bit of a homebody and slovenly, her figure and face are absolutely stunning. She's more than qualified to be a bandit's wife... no, a magical companion! You should take her in!"
Koizumi Akako: "!!!"
A bandit's wife?! A magical companion?!
A bit of a homebody and a little messy?!
This broken mirror is destined to shatter today; even Jesus couldn't save it, I'm telling you!
"Shut up!"
Koizumi Akako completely snapped.
If the witch doesn't unleash her power, have you really forgotten who the master is?
She whirled around, grabbed a magic pestle made of an unknown, hard-looking metal from the table next to her, and smashed it hard against the talkative magic mirror with a whooshing sound!
"Clang—!!!!"
A loud crash was followed by the crisp sound of countless panes of glass shattering.
The Magic Mirror is dead.
The mirror was completely dark, and shards were scattered everywhere.
The world has finally become quiet.
Koizumi Akako's chest heaved violently, still clutching the magic pestle in her hand, her crimson pupils burning with raging fury.
Yuzuru watched from the side, his lips twitching, and silently lit a candle for that daring, reckless, matchmaking magic mirror.
This magic mirror... it's practically dancing in a minefield with perfect precision.
I silently mourned for the Magic Mirror's heroic sacrifice for 0.1 seconds.
Well, considering how "sensible" it is and how hard it tries to "promote" its owner, I can generously sponsor the core materials for its next repair.
...
Time quickly came to noon.
Devastated and exhausted, the witch listlessly announced the end of get out of class. This magical seminar, which was supposed to showcase the witch's authority, ended with the instructor's confidence collapsing.
Next, it's time to deal with some "personal matters".
Yuzuru's face once again displayed that smile that made Koizumi Akako both wary and inexplicably heart-pounding, as he pulled a familiar box from his pocket.
It was a "love potion" chocolate, laced with potent ingredients, that Koizumi Akako sent via crows on Valentine's Day.
"The seminar has left us a bit parched and exhausted. How about... we have some dessert to replenish our energy?"
He shook the box, his smile harmless.
Koizumi Akako was taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in her crimson eyes: "You...you didn't eat?"
She assumed he had eaten it that day, which was why he acted like nothing had happened when he came over today, infuriating her.
“Such fine chocolate should be shared with the witch who made it, to make it taste even better, shouldn’t it?” Yuzuru said with a smile, tapping the lid of the box lightly with his fingertips.
Koizumi Akako's eyes darted around quickly, her mind racing.
He didn't eat!
Since the potion didn't go into his stomach, it means... the plan still has a chance of success.
Whether it works or not, what if it does?
What if this enhanced potion works?
This is an enhanced version of the True Love Potion that she refined using many precious materials.
Theoretically, it's enough to take down a giant dragon.
In an instant, Koizumi Akako's attitude underwent a complete 180-degree change. The anger and frustration on her face quickly subsided, replaced by a deliberately crafted expression of shyness and anticipation. Her voice softened, carrying a subtle, almost imperceptible, allure.
"Oh? I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful~"
She gently tossed her hair, striking a seductive pose. "Since that's the case... then why don't you eat it now? Let me see if the chocolate I 'specially' prepared for you suits your taste."
She deliberately emphasized the word "deliberately".
His crimson eyes were fixed on Yuu Nan, anticipating the moment when the other would be captivated by the potion's power and show an infatuated and submissive expression towards him.
How could Yuzuru not see through her little scheme?
His smile deepened, and he leaned back slightly on the lab table, watching her with leisurely interest. He said slowly, "Eating is certainly possible, but..."
