The cold wind howled, the snow fell heavily, ruins lay scattered, and rivers of blood flowed...
Where is this?
Looking at this strange yet familiar environment, I don't understand why I'm here.
Looking around, I found everything in front of me was blurry and I couldn't see anything clearly.
Just as I was wondering what was going on, a figure suddenly appeared in front of me.
"Who is it?"
Without thinking twice, I quickly chased after him, but there was always an insurmountable distance between us.
As the figure grew increasingly blurry, he became extremely anxious and could only shout loudly.
"Hey! Wait for me! Where am I?!"
...
“Leon…”
Just then, I suddenly heard someone calling me.
While I was lost in thought, the surrounding scenery suddenly collapsed, jolting me awake.
When I opened my eyes, something blurry was leaning towards me?
I focused my gaze as much as possible before I could see clearly who was in front of me.
"Where am I?"
There's a girl in front of me, and I'm lying on something.
This...this is!
The legendary lap pillow!
"Leon...are you alright? You're trembling all over. Did you have a nightmare?"
"Wait! Who is this person in front of me?"
Ilotti!
It was almost like launching myself off; I couldn't possibly enjoy such a heavy lap pillow.
“I…I…Princess Loti, how…what are you doing here!”
Of course I will never forget that powerful punch; it is truly unforgettable.
Do I remember today?
I wanted to sneak out to practice some Emperor-level magic, but I must have run out of magic power.
The volatile maniac actually found this place! We're doomed!
Either dead or disabled!
"She wants to learn magic from you!"
"So you were here..."
Suddenly, I heard voices beside me, which startled me so much that I trembled all over.
"I've always been here."
"You know, you can scare people to death by saying something like that out of the blue, right?"
Looking at Faith Hill by the window, I was speechless for a moment.
...
Yes! Time really flies!
In the blink of an eye, I have been in this world for seven years.
Originally, I planned to stay at home obediently, but my mother sent me to be a tutor for this Ilotti!
It seems to be an agreement between Mother and Duke Croggs...
"Just forget about that agreement, why take it so seriously! It's not like it's a marriage contract or anything... really!"
The woman in front of me, Ilotti Croggs, is the second daughter of the Duke of Croggs and my student. She is actually a year older than me.
Meanwhile, Faithhill Abdugni, standing to the side, was her swordsmanship teacher and bodyguard, one of the few sword kings on the entire continent.
The fact that the Croggs family would appoint such a young girl as their swordsmanship instructor shows that they are no ordinary family.
And me?
I've been at Croggs' house for almost three months now.
This Ilotti Croggs' temper can only be described as unreasonable; the first thing she did upon meeting me was to punch me twice.
I was beaten black and blue...
Now, all I can do is try to avoid her every day, while she's always looking for ways to beat me up.
Forget about teaching, my life is more important.
I had heard the Duke say that I was the fourth tutor to Ilotti.
Given her fiery temper, I reckon the first few teachers couldn't stand it and fled in panic.
I have no idea what kind of agreement my mother had with this Duke Croggs that led her to send me into the jaws of wolves!
Aren't you afraid of losing your beloved son?
Wait a minute! What just happened?
Ilotti actually gave me a lap pillow?
What happened?
Faithhill just said that Ilotti wants to learn magic from me?
Did she take the wrong medicine today?
"Ahem... That Princess? Fisshill seemed to have said you came to learn magic from me..."
Although I don't know what she's up to, I'm ready to run for my life at any moment.
For what I just did, I'll either die today or at least lose half my life!
"What's wrong? Aren't you the tutor my father hired for me? That's why I came specifically to learn magic from you. Is there a problem?"
Although he had a harmless smile on his face.
But I felt like I had a thorn in my side; I always felt that this girl was up to no good.
"As the saying goes, 'Unsolicited kindness is either a sham or a thief.' This girl is behaving very strangely today; I need to be careful."
This was three months of painful experience.
With a forced smile, I asked tentatively.
"It's rare for Your Highness to have such an interest. When would you like to begin?"
"I'm really interested now!"
When I agreed, Ilotti's eyes lit up, and she walked up to me, spreading her arms wide...
"They're here!"
I was about to run away when Ilodi grabbed my arm.
"We're doomed!"
Face protection? Or groin protection?
There's no time to overthink it; of course, I want both.
"Leon, what's going on?"
Looking at my bizarre pose, Ilotti seemed completely bewildered.
"...?"
Has this girl reformed?
"It's nothing, just stretching a bit!"
"Oh? I'll give it a try!"
"...?"
What's going on? Ilotti is mimicking me, covering her face while...
It's a long story.
"Alright, may we begin learning magic, Teacher Leon?"
Immediately, Ilotti took my arm again and we walked outside.
Are you not even trying to hide it?
"Wow! So soft! She's only 8 years old and already so developed. When she grows up, she'll definitely be a charming little devil."
Wait a minute, now's not the time to indulge in romance...
Is this still the same violent maniac?
I quickly looked at Faith Hill to see her reaction.
However, Faith Hill remained as cold as ever, showing no change in expression.
It seems they've become accustomed to Ilotti's unusual behavior.
"My God, my God, my God! My God, my God!"
Since that's the case, the only option is to entrust oneself to the gods.
At the same time, he kept trying to wink at Faith Hill, hoping that if anything happened, she could save his life.
Although he could easily deal with Iloti, he couldn't do that. If he hurt her, he wouldn't be able to explain it to the Duke and his mother!
What a miserable life!
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been beaten up so badly on the first day we met.
The main reason I agreed to be my mother's tutor was:
I've been stuck at the King level for half a year now.
This is probably what is meant by a bottleneck period.
Sylvie said that only by entering the academy for further study could I possibly break through to the Emperor level.
but……
It was as if the parents had conspired together to refuse to pay a single penny of tuition; they had truly fallen into this trap.
Because of the work of a private tutor.
Duke Krogh pays a high salary of 100 magic crystals per month. Even though I haven't taught Iloti anything in the past three months, I still received 300 magic crystals.
Holding such a huge fortune makes me feel quite embarrassed.
Getting back to the main topic...
Stepping out of the corridor, you enter the courtyard of the Duke of Croggs's mansion.
That was the place where I had just practiced Emperor-level magic.
Did she get carried to the corridor because she was out of magic?
"Well……"
I didn't feel Faith Hill's enormous...
How hateful!
"Should we pretend to faint next time?"
"No, no, no. If we get caught? We're finished."
I was horrified by these thoughts myself, this damn adolescence!
