Book 2: Chapter 12


    <strong>Post-Battle</strong>


    Cheers!


    After thepetition was over, we went to a restaurant in the central for a celebration. Of course, were not allowed alcohol yet, so everyone toasted with juice.


    Good work, everyone.


    I only used enough mana for a single shot, so I dont feel that tired.


    Yeah, me too.


    Well, thats right. Anyway, the ssroom defense was a sess.


    Yahoo!!!


    This time, you were able to win against the seniors because your opponents were weak. However, there is a possibility that stronger sses will apply for a match with you.


    Thats true. Though the victory was ours this time, we cant becent. We have to battle every month, after all.


    Aside from that, a lot of students and professors watched us. It is highly unlikely that well be able to defeat them in one-hit, just like previously, in the future.


    You will also participate in one-on-one battles and in endurance matches, as well aspetitions in which opponents are affectedeither in superior or inferior waysby use of Auxiliary Magic. Do not be satisfied with the oue of todays match, but study hard and be stronger.


    Yes!


    After that, we ate and drank to our hearts content, and then we went separate ways.


    Im sorry I wasnt able to show off your skills, Halt-<em>sama.</em>


    Tina apologized as we went back to the mansion.


    Ah, I dont mind. Victorys more important.


    Ah, well, theres that, but Theres a part of me that wanted to see you fight.


    Oh, is that so Dont worry, next time Ill work hard, and Ill let you see something good.


    Fufufu, Ill look forward to that. By the way


    Ah, Tina also noticed?


    Yes. Youko, you are there, I assume? Please doe out.


    Tina turned back and talked to the seemingly empty space.


    Hmm, as expected of <em>Tina Harivell</em>. Youre not my contractual master, but still, you were able to sense my presence.


    A girl attired in kimono appeared on the spot where no one should have been standing.


    Thank you for the praise. So, can you please exin why you are following us? And what is this about a contract?


    Ah, Ill be the one to rify.


    So, this morning, I told Tina that I formed a contract with Youko and that she originally wanted to control and dominate the academy, among other matters.


    I see, so that means you are a demon owned by Halt-<em>sama</em>.


    Tina was angry for some reason.


    Suddenly, she collected magic in her right hand and prepared tounch an advanced magic attack toward Youko.


    Wha, wait!!! I am exclusively bound to my Master! So unless Master desires it, I can never dominate this academy! Please spare me!


    Youko trembled like a leaf in the face of Tinas enormous magical strength.


    Tina, wait. I wont let her do evil stuff. So please, just let her stay as a student in this academy.


    You want to protect that vixen because of the contract, Halt-sama. Demons frequently use that trick. Please be at ease, Ill definitely obliterate her.


    Hiiii!!! Ma, Master!!!


    Youko fell on her bottoms with a thud, and she looked at me with tear-filled, pleading eyes.


    I didnt want this docile kimono-d beauty to die, nor do I want to see my exclusive maid kill someone, so I helped Youko on her feet.


    Tina, calm down. Im not affected by the contract.


    Eh!?


    Tina and Youko simultaneously raised their voices in disbelief.


    Actually, I already checked my Status Board after the contract-binding. The result is


    Condition: Cursed [Static Curse] (Fixed)


    No changes at allit was as if I never entered a contract with Youko. Maybe, its because I already have the curse of the Evil God?


    By the way, the magic circle thats proof of our pact is still on Youkos right hand, but mine doesnt have a trace of it. It disappeared without me noticing.


    I had the strange protective urges before, but I found out that its on a level where I can ignore it just fine if I wanted to. In short, the contract is effective on Youkos side, and she will be obedient to me, but I am not obliged to protect her.


    This contract poses zero disadvantages on my side. Moreover, I can control her however I want. Even if shes a demon, I see her as a human because of her disguise.


    Shes pretty cute, too.


    I dont want to see Youko be killed.


    Youko, rise.


    Y, yes.


    Youko stood at mymand.


    Turn around once and meow.


    Me, meow.


    After turning in a circle, Youko meowed. She looked so embarrassed.


    See, I told you shed follow my orders absolutely.


    Ah, Master.


    Youko was disconcerted after she received the first order since the contract was made. Her body moved against her will.


    She might submit to Halt-<em>sama. Nevertheless</em>, she can still attack and manipte other people.


    Hmm, then lets do it this way. Youko, you can neverunch a malicious attack against other people unless I order you to do so.


    I stroked the magical circle on Youkos right hand with my finger as I gave my order.


    I, I understand!


    So with this, there should be no problems, right? Ill let her stay on my side so that Ill be able to keep an eye on her when shes idle.


    B, but its dangerous for a demon to stay by Halt-<em>sama</em>s side! Not only that, Youkos exquisitely lovely, so if shes constantly with you, then Halt-<em>samas</em> virtue and fidelity will


    Tina suddenly mumbled, so I didnt catch thetter half of what she said.
