It is definitely not a good experience to live this in first person. I tried to shake off that sore loser who was attacking with abandon.
She was clinging to my hair and started scratching , especially in the eyes.
"Gya! Damn, that’s playing dirty!"
"In a duel to the death, anything goes."
This wretch is right, but your scratching and biting definitely won’t kill .
’I should discipline her like the first ti..... Hmm, I don’t think she hates anymore. Yes, I should... She’s been earning it again lately.’
Because I was temporarily blind, I kept trying to grab her blindly. She moved nimbly across my body, taking every opportunity and didn’t hesitate to bite, pinch and scratch.
’Wait, why does it hurt so much, resonance? Selene, why did you do this?’
I didn’t worry too much and thought I’d let her vent, since it didn’t hurt so much in the end and reminded of my kitty, which I had as a kid in my previous life.
But that damn thing seed to be resonating with my little angel, causing pain now...very real pain.
I dropped to the ground and began to squirm as if I had insects biting , but she wouldn’t get off of , she just kept going as if nothing was wrong. It was as if she was possessed by an evil, persistent spirit.
’Wait, I know... Purification!’
"grrr... eh?, What did you cast on , why do I feel better, purification magic?"
The mont the spell fell on her, Eira stopped and asked, doubting why I cast a purification spell.
"Uh... well, I just tried. You should have disappeared or at least wallowed in pain, though." I really thought it would work.
"You idiot! Do you think I’m an evil spirit or sothing?"
"Yes...that’s why I did it,"
I replied. Now that I thought about it, it was an obvious answer I should have given a long ti ago.
Although it wasn’t as much as I thought, she has cald down, which proves I was right: the poor thing had been possessed by an evil entity.
"You bastard, die!"
Apparently, that wasn’t the right answer.... Clearly he was wrong, he swore that was it.
"Don’t bite my neck! Aaah, it hurts! Selene, call it off, call it off!"
The pain in my neck intensified as Eira bit . I honestly felt like my life was in danger and I called out for help to Selene, who, for so reason, ’resonated’ with Eira.
I wondered what she was thinking, so I activated the ’resonance’ with her, and she seed.... Happy? Why?
I felt betrayed and abandoned... until I realized sothing.
I asked Selene through the resonance to activate it with and buff . At that mont, I instantly felt stronger.
Finally, I managed to catch the elusive Eira with my statistical superiority. Truly, you should never underestimate even the skills that seem the silliest, such as flexibility.
The truth is, I didn’t know if I had it like Selene, but nothing explains how good she is at being so elusive, to the point of writhing all over my body like an evil spirit trying to possess . Not for nothing did I cast purification magic!
Finally, I got rid of her. I held her and conjured several tal handcuffs around her wrists, a muzzle and a straitjacket made of iron.
In the end, she looked like a trapped beast. I felt Eira trying to send signals to Selene to cancel the resonance with , but what I felt from Selene was happiness.
’I don’t understand why she looked happy if we were fighting to the death.,’
I had already neutralized Eira and healed my eyes.
well, it was taphorical because Despite everything, I realized that Eira’s attacks weren’t exactly lethal, but they were painful. They were more like attempts to vent her frustration.
So I forgave her and didn’t think too much of it. I’ll simply think that a stray cat attacked for approaching carelessly. Clearly, I am a mature person in conflict.
..
.
When I approached Selene and asked her why she had done that, she told it was because her sister had instructed her to do it when I asked her to.
I had apparently convinced her that this was a way for us to get along, and we were just playing. I got a little angry at the thought of how I could trick my little angel, but in the end, I’ll take it as a challenge.
You grow up in different situations, and next ti I’ll beat her, even if I don’t use resonance.
So, the lesson went on for a while and I helped the girls in the group a lot, and I took the ti to make them understand.
anwhile, n learn by force, and with their body they understand the lesson... yes there was definitely no favoritism here at absolute... I also patiently taught Auran, which counts as a man, so there was definitely no favoritism.

Another week had passed and it was now the fourth week since the start of school, I would say that nothing out of the ordinary had happened, but I had noticed that Cordelia was finally moving.
The week before, I had clearly noticed how she was starting to pay more attention to my doppelgänger.
Indeed, he was up to sothing. I didn’t know what it was, but today she asked to et her after class.
Out of curiosity, I even postponed my usual eting with Astrid, which I always looked forward to during classes, and went to see her in a secluded and suspicious place in the academy.
There she was, along with two other lackeys, who, if I rember correctly, were her assistants to bully . Despite her personality, she had managed to gather a group of followers. I was now 100% sure that she wanted to start her aggression towards Seraphina.
This had been postponed for so reason I don’t understand, but now that my doppelgänger is occupied by all the ti, I’m not afraid of anything she does.
I an I’m my own informant, I wasn’t going to let the sa thing happen to my alternate self.
At first, things were small, like stealing my books, notes and other objects. They also interrupted and ruined my work as an assistant when I had to carry things from one place to another, or spilled my food in the dining room, pretending it was an accident.
Childish things, which I honestly didn’t take seriously, and ignored. But over ti, this beca worse.
She would follow around, and even coordinate many classes with mine, just to fight and beat up. she would also attack during exams or monthly quizzes, as she was much stronger than my alternative self.
Despite having an affinity for light, I started training very late. Usually, you start at the age of ten, or even earlier, but I started just three years ago.
The early years are always the slowest for everyone, unless you have a monstrous talent, which Seraphina’s body did not have.
Although I now had a decent telento, it was still a slow process for my alternate self, but this ti I was able to catch up faster, far surpassing my alternate self at this ti.
I rember that even with a lot of effort, I barely managed to beco a representative, and that was thanks to the blessing of the goddess of purity.
When I the academy ended, Cordelia started doing a lot of other things to . This escalated over a long period of ti getting worse.
Honestly, if I only looked at the academy ti, I would think it was so kind of crush, sothing my alternate self didn’t notice.
But that thought vanished when his bullying beca too intense and dangerous, that wasn’t soone with interest would do.
So putting aside my misunderstanding when she asked to be hers I stayed close to her because I wanted to find the cause and stop this, without having to kill her as my alternate self had established.
Although I don’t know why, the mories don’t show the ending between Cordelia and my alternate self, but if he wants to kill her.
Must be because he did it himself, since his list of eliminations, are mostly people he killed himself or should kill before they beca more problematic and the mories justify it.
Still, to Cordelia, didn’t seem to deserve it at this point, but I can’t judge without knowing the whole story, and that fucker for so reason omitted it, leaving in doubt about what actions to take on Cordelia.
’well he must have so reason why he didn’t do it’
if. it’s no use complaining, I have to figure this out on my own.
"I gathered you here because I have a mission for you. As I told you, if you follow , you will have riches and glory... right?"
she began to speak like a completely different person and fluently, I would even say passionately as she gave her speech.
"The mission I have for you is easy. I want you to gather information on Miss Silvercrest and report to everything she does from the ti she leaves school until she gets here. I want to know all of her contacts, as well as the people she frequents and their schedules. I want to know everything."
If this is what I an: when it cos to Seraphina, she becos a totally different person, as if her ability, which I assud was the cause of her personality, stopped working.
Apparently, the first step is to stalk and watch . I looked around and watched the guys. Honestly, I don’t know what gives them the audacity to provoke a Silvercrest who has the most powerful being in the kingdom.
But now that I looked, the guy in front of was the guy who tried to poison during the entrance exam, he was one of Cordelia’s two lackeys who helped her in her harassnt.
That’s why he seed familiar to back then, well the guy didn’t live long so he didn’t have much presence in my mories, the other one not to ntion, I barely have an impression of him.
The poisonous guy’s na was Esteban and now he’s lackey number two because I was the first in this life.... That doesn’t make feel proud; I feel like a second-rate villain, one of those who die as collateral damage....
Well back to the topic.
"Miss Cordelia, may I ask the reason for this order?", I asked.
"No."
Well, what did you expect? If life were that easy, there would be no problem. Just in case, I checked her status and indeed she doesn’t have an EX skill , so it’s not a mission or sothing given by the gods, which is common when people act illogically.
’ So what should I do, to further gain his trust? Hmm..., yes I should sacrifice myself a bit.’
"Miss Cordelia, I actually have so information about Miss Seraphina Silvercrest, " I said.
"Oh, that’s good. You will be rewarded handsoly. Go ahead, tell what you know," she replied, and I really don’t think there’s anything to satisfy , with everything I got in the domain.
Anyway, I started telling him things about : my favorite color, that I’m good at light and lightning magic. I went on to tell him about my tastes for romance novels and other trivial things.
I even made up a weakness which was the fear of cold and icy stares, and if it was with a digust face all the better. The reason why I said that, well, that doesn’t matter.....
Cordelia, silent, didn’t hesitate to jot everything down as if the information, was worth gold, she seed very keen to know my weaknesses.
’I definitely have to find the reason for her hatred of .’
With that the eting ended and everyone went their separate ways.
..
.
It was near the end of the first month and the first monthly examination was finally approaching. For being the first, it was not complicated at all.
In addition to the knowledge test, they also did an examination like the entrance test, but this ti it was individual and with all the students, including those who are not strictly specialized in combat, such as the Blacksmiths and alchemists, who had to figure it out, with their own thods.
Still, it was no problem for and nothing interesting happened. So that week ended with being fourth in the monthly exam, defeated by Alice, Silvia, and Cordelia herself who were better academically than .
In addition, Aurora and Lys, as I thought, were easily promoted to the A class, since they easily entered the top 20. and so ti went by...
