7.

-Calisia Valus. You are ignorant. I don’t mean stupid. I mean you literally have nothing that could be called knowledge.

-How can I teach arithmetic to someone who can’t even read numbers?

First lesson. This was the evaluation Deorik gave before even five minutes had passed.

Calisia, with dark circles under her eyes, pushed away the tower of stacked books and collapsed face-down on the desk. Her whole body ached from the relentless forced march of lessons that had continued day and night for several days now.

Her neck and back were stiff, her eyes felt like they would pop out. Especially these blistered fingers! They were traces from sticking her hand into the fireplace under the pretext of becoming friends with fire.

-Ah, it’s hot! Damn! Old man, this is too hot!

-What exactly is hot? The blood of Valus contains the Power of Fire. Even the hottest lava cannot burn a Valus, so how can you not endure that small flame?

Well, a wood fire was a cute level compared to other things. A few days ago, she had been pushed in front of a wyvern. Imagine a giant reptile breathing fire while chasing you. Her mind went blank before she could even think it was disgusting.

Ignorantly intense practical training-.

The theory was equally difficult. This was because Calisia wasn’t originally from this world. Absence of common sense and complete lack of knowledge. So what choice did she have? She had no choice but to wrestle with books during the time others ate and slept.

-What do you think fire is? You need to establish the right mental image to control your Special Ability easily.

-Special Ability is a power with the same foundation as magic. But it’s an overwhelming and rare talent that surpasses mana.

But there was a fatal problem.

Calisia struggled greatly with operating her Special Ability. It was because of another power, divine energy, that had already firmly established itself in her soul.

-How long have you been using the power called Divine Power? You are too immersed in it.

-Why can’t you feel mana in the first place?

No matter what she tried, it ultimately resulted in Divine Power, which was maddening. Days without much progress continued like this.

-If I could directly inject mana into your body and forcibly open a path, nothing would be better.

At the end of frustrating days, Deorik came up with one clever plan. However, this strategy had a major flaw.

Namely, that his physical body had long since returned to dust.

***

Calisia crouched in the grassland at the most remote part of the Main Castle. She plucked some unknown grass from the dirt ground and chewed it. Since there was no gum, she had no choice but to chew grass. Ah, so stressful.

“Do you think the old man is teaching properly right now?”

-I don’t know about other things, but I heard that the Previous Duke’s Power of Fire was among the strongest of all the previous Heads of House.

“Am I not understanding what he’s saying?”

Calisia’s eyes became triangular. At her sharpened gaze, Isaac forced a smile. He calculated that there was nothing good about unnecessarily provoking her temper.

-Being good at something yourself and teaching others are different matters, Miss. Haha.

“Or is that old geezer deliberately screwing with me?”

-No, why does the conversation go that way again! From what I can see, he just seems frustrated. Actually, from the Previous Head of House’s perspective, he has no choice. Think about it.

Isaac lightly flicked his finger. Then a hazy figure appeared in the air. A dress with frills and hair curled in twin rolls.

It was a cute female doll.

A table covered with a white tablecloth appeared in front of it. Silver tableware and candlesticks, and juicy steak with garnish. For the wonderful meal, the doll moved its short legs and sat on the chair.

-Suppose someone asked you to teach this one some dining etiquette.

A midday puppet show began. The woman with a blank expression holding a fork tilted her head left and right.

-But if that person was sticking the fork in their nose, then in their mouth, wondering where to eat with it, how would you feel?

The doll stabbed the steak chunk with the fork. Then she brought it straight to her nose. Of course, it couldn’t go in.

Frowning, she brought the fork to her mouth. This time also failed. The steak was too big.

Steam rose from the doll’s head. Angry, she frantically poked her mouth and nose with the fork.

“That’s annoying.”

Calisia spat the grass she was chewing onto the ground.

-Right! Annoying! That’s exactly the Previous Head of House’s mind… Ah, Miss, I don’t mean that-.

“So our Isaac thought that. That I don’t eat with my mouth but with my nose.”

-It’s an example! I’m saying the example is like that, Miss. An example-.

Feeling intense killing intent, Isaac desperately tried to take back his words. He always blamed himself, saying this damn mouth was the problem.

“Come here.”

-Miss. How about we maintain our beautiful distance…

“Come here.”

Calisia snapped the tree branch she was holding in half. It was a silent warning to voluntarily surrender.

-Ah! Miss! I was wrong! I was wrong…! Huh, huh?

Isaac, who had been screaming and running away, hesitated. Calisia, who had been chasing him, also stopped.

“Who’s that?”

Dark black hair and bright yellow golden eyes resembling a beast of prey. A strange boy with somewhat fierce eyes was walking toward them alone.

-It’s a face I’m seeing for the first time too, so he seems to be a guest. But if he can enter the Main Castle, he must be a very important guest. But still, to wander alone to such a remote place…

“Why are you stopping mid-sentence?”

At the abruptly cut conversation, Calisia turned her head to the side. Isaac, who had been chattering, was completely spaced out with his mouth slightly open.

-…a body.

Isaac’s eyes instantly became dull and sunken. His hands trembling finely, he slowly rubbed his lips. What tickled his tongue tip was definitely appetite.

A strangely stimulating smell wafted from the boy’s body. Isaac’s eyelids trembled madly. Saliva had already pooled and terrible thirst began to arise.

-A body, a human body with flowing blood and attached flesh, I want to eat it, I want to eat.

Isaac’s eyes turned bright red. Life and flesh. He couldn’t resist coveting what the boy possessed.

-Let’s eat, let’s enter that shell and eat a human body.

Isaac, making bizarre laughter, raised his nails and scratched his nape roughly. The obsession and longing for life that he thought he had let go of completely blocked his throat.

“This is trouble.”

Calisia, who had been watching the situation, roughly swept up her hair. Looking at how things were going, it had become quite troublesome.

Ghostly Gate Barrier

The dead open the door, enter, and lock the bolt.

Sometimes there were such bodies. A fate where the front door of the house called the soul was wide open and evil spirits swarmed. It was the most ominous of ominous fates. The dead entering a living person’s body and acting as the owner.

The boy in front was exactly like that.

“Snap out of it.”

Calisia, putting power in her voice, blocked Isaac who had lost his reason. Looking at his mouth torn almost to his ears, his condition was very bad.

Spirits generally had no expressions. This was because stimulation that could be called emotions had disappeared along with life. That’s why laughing ghosts were dangerous.

It meant that excitement great enough to make them jump with joy had consumed them. For instance, when they had decided to harm people.

-…move.

The area around Isaac’s eyes turned black with ghostly energy.

-Move-!

A terrible Ghostly Wail burst from Isaac’s mouth. Disgusting and gloomy energy spread in all directions, creating fierce waves.

Scattering black smoke, he charged forward. Then without time to react, he leaped into the boy’s body.

“He, he got in!”

Isaac, who had taken over the boy’s body, raised his hands high and jumped up and down. He moved his limbs at strange angles, trying to adapt to his newly acquired body.

“Come out while I’m asking nicely. If you take over someone else’s body and accumulate karma like that, you’ll be born as a pig or dog in your next life.”

Calisia waved her hands quickly as if she couldn’t bear to watch.

“This body is mine! Mine! Kahahaha!”

Isaac, throwing his head back toward the sky, burst into loud laughter. Soft flesh with warmth. It really was a human body.

Crunch!

Isaac, whose eyes had rolled back, bit the boy’s arm hard with his teeth. The fishy scent of blood swirled in his mouth and flesh was gouged in the shape of teeth marks.

“Blood! Blood is coming out!”

Isaac, thrusting out the bleeding arm, trembled all over. The ecstasy of having a physical body again made his head spin.

“So what. Want me to cheer for you?”

Calisia replied indifferently and blew air with a “whoo.”

“Hey. If you’re done, come out now.”

“This kid called me.”

Isaac, who had been grinning ear to ear, completely hardened his expression.

“It’s my body! My body! This is mine now!”

“Fine. Then Isaac, you stay there.”

Calisia scratched her cheek and pulled out the Hair Ornament stuck in her hair. Then, without a moment’s hesitation, she swung the Hair Pin toward her own palm.

Thud-

The sharp pin tip tore a long gash through her tender skin. Hot blood immediately began flowing from the gaping wound.

“Now you won’t be able to come out even if you want to.”
