I Possessed the Heroine’s Teacher

In reality, games often deceive players by offering free content but then requiring in-game purchases, or selling the full version but cutting out important parts and selling them as DLC.

The developers of Dragnity Fantasy 2 were one of those bastards. They revealed Werner’s past story in the DLC, and the rewards for the DLC quests were so good that they were praised for their business strategy.

The items in the box that the magician, now pierced by lightning, had were especially valuable.

The sound of the box opening with a click is always charming. This is why people enjoy picking locks. When I opened the box, I saw colorful potions. These potions were very valuable in the game. However, they weren’t drugs like methamphetamine or cocaine. If VR games allowed the use of drugs, parent and Christian groups would have complained.

The potions in the box were peculiar in that they could change the appearance of characters, despite being potions. They could transform characters into different races, make them look younger or older, and had no expiration date. These potions would be useful in case of an emergency. If I needed to escape, they would be a great help. Disguise is the foundation of escape.

“Cough… Cough… Who are you…?”

Despite being pierced by lightning, he was still alive. In the game, this magician had a high HP, making him difficult to defeat, and he was indeed tenacious. Generally, the lower the intelligence of a creature, the stronger its vitality. Cockroaches and low-attack monsters in card games also have high defense.

However, I had to grant his dying wish. I was the kindest and most compassionate person, after all. If you want to know who I am, it’s only polite to answer. I couldn’t say, ‘I’m Werner,’ so I took off the hood of my robe to reveal my face. Although it was Werner’s face, it looked a lot like mine, so it wouldn’t be a problem to say it was mine.

“Do you recognize my face?”

“You… You’re Werner…”

Werner and this magician knew each other. After all, this magician was a member of a group that had a deep connection to Werner’s childhood.

“How did you get here… Cough…”

“You’ve aged a lot. You look much older than when I saw you last in your organization.”

As he coughed and coughed, still alive, I thought it would be okay to give him a little more pain. So, I lightly stepped on his hand.

“Ugh!”

It was okay to do this. This man was an evil person who no one would criticize, even if his limbs were torn off. He was a thief who stole people’s property by leading a group of bandits. He was a despicable thief who, like a spider, set up traps and harmed innocent people.

“Just die here, old man.”

“If you kill me, you’ll be chased again…”

“So? Tell them to come.”

“What…?”

“I’m Werner Alton. Is there anything to be afraid of?”

The magician was clearly agitated. It was like a third-rate villain threatening that someone would come to avenge him if he was touched, but it wasn’t scary at all.

And rather than continuing to cough and cough, it would be better to die. So, this magic wasn’t murder but an act of mercy to free a suffering friend from pain.

“Lightning, crawl like a snake and devour.”

A lightning snake emerged from my fingertips and wrapped around the magician, devouring him. Being devoured by such strong lightning should result in a 100% fatality…

I put the potions from the magician’s box into a small bag inside my robe and left the cave. Outside, Iris was waiting for me, her cheeks puffed out. Why does she keep puffing out her cheeks? Is she a frog or something? Honestly, I don’t like girls who are overly affectionate. It might be because I once met a girl who was affectionate but vicious.

“You left your cute disciple among those rough bandits! I’ll tell my father about this!”

Damn, I didn’t expect that. Using the Daddy Card, huh? This is why I hate silver spooners. They don’t even try to overcome difficulties with their own abilities but instead use the Daddy Card or the Mommy Card.

But what can I do? Both Werner and I are orphans. We can only resent the reality of not having parents to use as a card.

“Calm down, Iris… When we get back to Bekem, let’s go out for a meal. You can choose the menu.”

“Then, let’s go to the restaurant in Mab Street and have pork schnitzel.”

“Sure, sure.”

Damn, that’s expensive. Why do I have to spend my own money for this? This is the plight of an educator.

“But I feel like I’m forgetting something…”

“What?”

“Damn… What was it?”

Damn, I had forgotten about Irina. I was a trashy ninja for forgetting about my companion. Breaking the rules makes one trash, but not valuing one’s companions makes one even worse.

I quickly took Irina out of the invisibility barrier. She was angry that I had put her in the barrier without saying anything, and her lips were sticking out. When people are angry, they puff out their cheeks and stick out their lips like animals.

Even while riding in the carriage that I had kept at a distance, the disapproving looks towards me didn’t disappear. Iris was also upset, even though I had promised to buy her food.

“You’re giving me such disapproving looks even though I defeated the bandits for you ladies…”

“If someone puts you in a barrier or throws you into a group of bandits, it’s natural to give them disapproving looks, don’t you think, Master?”

“Yes, you’ve always been careless and have no consideration at all.”

Even the great magician Werner would have a hard time arguing with two angry women. Even if Zhuge Liang (famous ancient China strategist) came back from the dead, he would press the surrender button.

“Fine, I’ll buy you food and alcohol, so please stop giving me those looks. I want to sleep.”

If I fell asleep now, my life might be in danger, so I couldn’t even close my eyes. I was like an adventurer stranded in the snowy mountains, staying awake with the thought that if I fell asleep, I would die.

“I’ll buy you food, alcohol, and dessert.”

“Then, buy me new clothes too.”

These people were trying to rob a kind and innocent adventurer. Adventurers risk their lives to earn money, but these people were trying to rob them.

I couldn’t use Werner’s account at the bank. If I tried to use it, my location would be revealed, and my followers, as well as my brothers and sisters, would come running.

I had no choice but to spend my hard-earned money. Goodbye, my precious money.

As I was despairing over the loss of my money, the horse pulling the carriage neighed loudly. Even the horse understood the value of money, but why didn’t these people?

However, the situation didn’t seem positive. The carriage shook, and when I looked outside, the horse that had been sympathizing with my sadness was dead, and the driver was being subdued by masked men.

Judging by their posture and the way they had surrounded the carriage without me noticing, these masked men were not ordinary fighters. They were almost first-rate. In my past life, I rarely encountered such skilled fighters.

“Master… What’s happening outside…?”

“Iris, Irina, don’t come out.”

The masked men were probably targeting either me or Iris. If they were targeting me, I would let them live, but if they were targeting Iris, I would have to kill them all to survive.

“Who are you targeting? Your employer must be someone important.”

As expected, they were skilled fighters. They didn’t waste time with unnecessary words and just stared at me. That’s right, first-rate fighters don’t talk much.

However, since their eyes were focused on me and not Iris, it was clear that I was their target. In that case, I could break one of their arms or legs and let them live.

They charged at me without saying a word, and their posture was excellent. Their employer must be a highly skilled educator.

I grabbed the arm of the man who charged at me and broke it, slamming him to the ground. Only then did their eyes become more cautious. It would be impossible to fight so many people with martial arts alone.

“Who is your employer? I’ll pay my respects later.”

As expected, they didn’t answer. That’s natural; first-rate fighters don’t reveal their employer’s name.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t answer. I can just get rid of you.”
“Lightning, rain-”

I was about to summon a rain of lightning to get rid of them. At that moment, I felt the cold touch of metal on my wrist.

“You don’t need to find the employer.”

Damn, that voice…

I turned my head to the side and saw Glacies Winterheart, Werner’s fiancée. Moreover, a restraint had been placed on my wrist, sealing my magic.

“The employer… is me.”

“Glacies, why are you here…?”

“Even after reading my letters, you still don’t understand the situation?”

Damn, this is a bad ending.

As I was despairing, Glacies grabbed my chin and said,

“I’ve just come to retrieve what’s mine. Is there a problem?”

Yes, there are many problems.
