Violet slowly opened her eyes where she was sitting.
He had stopped training to accumulate magic in his body and was instead practicing to create magic circles.
-It's fun...
It was so pleasant that he had forgotten everything.
After all, it was something he hadn't been able to do, no matter how hard he tried.
I had been alone in the house for three days, immersed in this practice.
—Ah, today is the day of the additional exam.
I have to go to the academy.
The academy was on vacation.
Under normal conditions, this would be his last semester, his graduation year.
However, Violet had failed again and again.
The reason I was going to the academy today was to take a make-up exam.
—As expected, he is late.
Violet arrived at the training ground, the place of the exam.
At the entrance to the field there was a schedule posted that said:
But I already expected that the teacher in charge, Colbert, would not arrive on time.
In the past, Colbert would purposely arrive three or four hours late to make her wait.
And not only that: he made her run senselessly around the academy so that people would make fun of her, or, in the worst case scenario, he would find a meaningless pretext to give her tasks such as cleaning the training field.
Being treated like an invisible person was the most difficult.
The teacher in charge acted as if she did not exist during training, which had caused her a lot of trouble.
Violet had blushed with embarrassment when she heard people whispering that they had never seen a teacher harass a student like that.
At first I didn't understand why it tormented me so much.
But the reason was simple.
When Violet was 14 years old, Professor Colbert had...proposed marriage to a young woman twenty years his junior.
Of course, she had rejected him in the most polite way possible.
Later, when her fiancé, Bluideen, found out about the story, he had made fun of her.
(Colbert's intentions are obvious.
If he married a rich bastard like you, your father would give him a good sum of money.
Since you rejected him unpolitely, the teacher in charge targeted you.)
That's when he understood everything.
But I still had a doubt.
How could I have declined the proposal more politely?
She had told him she was sorry, but she couldn't accept it.
And that was without education?
Should he have knelt and cried for it to be a polite rejection?
Maybe then he would have hated me less.
But he thought not.
A person who looks for an excuse to criticize you will criticize you no matter what you do.
Colbert arrived exactly three hours later.
—What is that posture?
Look at you, so lanky.
I'm tired of my valuable time being stolen by a useless person like you!
Colbert was a small, irritable-looking man for a gentleman.
Violet looked at him with an expressionless face.
Was it worth coming?
Still, since it was a pre-arranged make-up exam, she tried to be polite, but suddenly felt that she had no affection left for the academy.
Anyway, no one had noticed his talent during the time he was there.
So I could leave her at any time.
—Instead of training to be a knight, you settle for your rich fiancé.
“How annoying…” Colbert muttered so she could hear him and sighed.
Then he strode towards the training ground dais.
The platform, with steps, was like a stage from which assistants could watch the students.
It was at that moment.
Hey?
To-ro-rong, Cha-rang.
The luminous sound echoed in his ears again.
Am I seeing the future again?
«Violet stood her ground.
And under the heel of her shoe...
was Colbert's head.
—Ga, ugh…
His face was so distorted that it was impossible to recognize him.
But Colbert looked ten years older than he does now.
—My subordinates asked me why we had to attack and destroy a worthless academy.
The answer is you, Colbert.
Colbert seemed to have his mouth covered, unable to respond.
It just made umph, umph sounds.
—Disgusting pig.
Out of spite for being rejected, you spread rumors about me that are too vile to mention, right before my graduation.
Because of you I was expelled.
There were magic circles around Violet's body.
She put her hand on one of them and gently molded it.
It transformed into dozens of sharp crystals.
—Remember that.
This is the true power of the student whom you made useless and ruined her life.
Violet waved her hand, and hundreds of pieces of aura flew towards Colbert.
The vision of the future ended.
Violet, standing on the training ground, gulped.
In the future will I kill Colbert?
Furthermore, hadn't he killed more than 700 people in the end?
(She deserves to be hanged…)
While Violet was stunned, Colbert shouted in a commanding voice.
—I said show the basic skills first!
Cut, horizontal cut!
Move, move fast!
Violet's blood pressure rose for a moment.
I have no intention of killing anyone, but somehow I understand my future self...
Violet gritted her teeth.
Colbert was sitting in a chair in the middle of the training camp dais.
And he started shamelessly leafing through a magazine, moving his foot.
His intentions were obvious.
He wanted Violet to start swinging her sword and then ignore her and make her repeat the same movements over and over.
He had already done it several times.
Violet thought about running away at that moment.
But then he changed his mind, unbuckled the practice sword from his waist and took it in his hand.
That aura shaping technique… Will I be able to do it like my future self?
Violet activated the circle of magic surrounding her body.
Really, can I catch her?
Violet was scared that the aura could be caught with her hands.
He had never been taught anything like this anywhere.
Violet ran her hand over it.
The sharp aura soon turned into the shape of a sharp crystal.
Am I really...
a genius?
Violet's jaw dropped.
With all his strength, he was only able to create three crystals.
He was sweating all over his body and trying his hardest.
But Colbert just yawned and flipped through his book, not noticing what Violet was doing.
Ah, that's right, homework.
Violet put down the aura crystals and began to show the movements.
—Professor, I have shown the movements as you indicated.
As expected, Colbert didn't even look at her.
Of course he won't.
A cold smile appeared on Violet's lips.
—Professor, didn't you hear me?
Colbert chuckled and just continued flipping through the magazine.
—Silly, you can call me all day.
With his mocking words, Violet's patience was exhausted.
Violet began to walk slowly towards the exit of the training ground.
Since he treated her as if she were invisible, he thought about leaving the same way.
At that moment, Colbert raised his head and yelled at him.
—This dumb bastard doesn't understand?
Stay there and keep swinging the sword like I tell you!
Colbert grabbed the wooden practice sword that was resting on the side of his chair and tossed it to him.
—Ah!
If the sword hit her squarely, she could be seriously injured.
Violet, feeling threatened, released the aura crystal floating near her body.
The glass and the wooden sword collided.
However, the crystal did not stop after shattering the sword.
—Ugh!
This time the scream came from Colbert.
The aura crystal was heading straight for his head.
No!
I can't kill someone here!
She refused to follow the path of a great villain.
Violet managed to deflect the trajectory of the aura crystal.
The glass, headed for Colbert's forehead, narrowly missed the top of his head and embedded itself in the training field wall.
-Oh!
Colbert, who had fallen from the chair in a very undignified manner, rolled on the floor while making sounds of pain.
And…
Zzzzt, KABUM!
On the wall where the aura crystal was embedded, a huge spider web-like crack appeared.
And also a very deep brand.
Wow…
Violet stared at the crack in the wall.
If it had hit Colbert's forehead, his head would have shattered like a watermelon.
Colbert had passed out with his mouth open and his eyes blank.
Did she faint from just touching him?
Does this...
work?
Violet had managed, by accident, to create an ultimate technique.
