No More Pain For This Villain.



"Come inside." Mrs. Marilyn dragged me along with her; I don't know why, but she's a little bit more excited for this teaching session than me.

'Maybe she's going to suck out all your juices like a big bad witch, hehe.'Blaze was having a great time in his perverted thoughts. I don't know why, but I am a little nervous about this one-on-one teaching session.

At first, I thought the basic knowledge the previous owner had was enough if I combined it with my understanding of this world, but to be honest, I don't think that's how it works.

There has to be something that I must learn from a proper teacher, and from what I saw that day in this house, I know that Mrs. Marilyn isn't any normal mage.

Tap tap,

I was dragged inside the house, and I looked around to find the traces of Marilyn's daughter, or to be precise, my ex-fiance,

"Is Mary here?" I asked instantly; I don't know why, but my tone naturally softens whenever I say that girl's name.

'Maybe because of the previous guy's feelings for her.' Blaze suggested it, and I kinda agree with him since the system told me that our souls are merged and his soul is now part of mine.

"Mary?  She's sleeping in the dojo; she never leaves that damn place.I've tried my best to get her out but to no avail; do you have anything to do with her or do you want to reconsider being my son-in-law?" Marylin said,

'Why is she so obsessed with making me her son-in-law and all?'I thought,

"No, I just don't want to make her feel awkward." Or you can say that I don't want to see her face, but of course I didn't say this loudly.

"Don't worry, she won't wake up until ten o'clock, so we have like five or six hours for the lesson." She said while humming,

'Why is she so happy about it though?' I was suspicious for a second,

"That's great." I said,  I don't want to think about it, so I just went with the flow.

Soon she dragged me to the second floor and then to her room, and not to forget, I think the room next to her was Mary's room, well, she's not in there and that's good.

"Cool~"  This is the only word that slipped through my tongue as I gazed at the whole room,

Marylin's room was quite large for a single person to live in. It almost seems like a mini green house with small plants everywhere, but it was expected since she is a professional florist and plants are her passion and expertise.

There is a large, inclined window set diagonally in the lower right corner of the room. The soft rays of sunlight passing through the window made the room feel more comfortable and warm at the same time. Bookshelves were placed on the walls with some heavy-looking books in them and double bed in the centre of the room.

'Why does she need a bed of that size?' I was perplexed but decided not to ask.

"Please have a seat; do you like my room? I don't have anything fancy that kids like." Marylin sighed as she offered me a wooden stool to sit on.

"From my point of view, this room was quite relaxing." I expressed my honest opinion.

"Is that so?" Then it's fine. Marylin seems relieved by my response.

'Was she that tense about showing me her room?'Some of her actions don't make sense to me.

"Can we start now?" I asked, 

Marylin looked at me, then closed her eyes and placed her slender fingers on her chin, making an expression like she was thinking of something important.

'Is she going to test me or is she going to ask me a tough question to see my understanding of mana?' These kinds of questions were raised inside my mind, but soon she failed me saying,

"Why don't we have a cup of tea?" she tapped on a spatial ring on her index finger, and two cups with a tea pot with steam coming out of the lid popped in front of her afloat in the air as she balanced them onto the nearby table.

'Is she really an ideal person for this teaching kind of thing?' I questioned myself, 

"No, thanks. I am not a big fan of tea." I refused,

"Huh? That's really bad, but why don't you give it a try? Just a sip won't hurt, right?" She is pushing me into a corner and making it hard for me to refuse; she has offered me a cup full of herbal tea.

'Maybe she wants to drug and then do some naughty stuff with your half-conscious self.' Blaze's non-existent hormones were raging for some reason to have that kind of thought,

"Well, if you say so." I said that the aroma of tea was something that I was not familiar with, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to try something new. As I took it from her and brought it to my lips,

Sip

"Whoa!!"  I felt a huge rush of adrenaline going towards my brain as I took a sip from the cup.

"How does it feel now?" Marylin asked. How do I feel?

"I feel refreshed." That was the only thing I could say for sure—what kind of tea was that? It was a hundred times more powerful than any tea I've ever had.

"That's good then." Marylin gave a merry reaction to my response,

--------------------------------------------------------------------

After our little tea party was over, we decided to start the session.

"What is Mana?" "Why is it so important?" Marylin said her questions were the most basic but also the most important. If you can't understand that, then it's better to quit.

"Mana is essential to use magic; it exists in the atmosphere and is divided into particles of each element." I answered her with the most generic and most fitting answer I could find:

"Correct!!  "Now tell me about the mana core." Marylin praised me for my correct answer; she makes me feel like a seven-year-old kid when she treats me like this.

'Is she an ephibophile?' Blaze asked, Why is he using that term to refer to her?

'Shut the f*ck up, Smokeball; you've been wild since the moment we entered the house. NOW SHUT UP!' I transmitted these curses through our mind connection to warn him that he has to stop with those weird as* jokes, it makes me uncomfortable around her and how does he know the meaning of ephibophile?

'Fine, polite princess~~'After mocking me, he went into his deep slumber while lurking around my mana core in his wispy form.

"What happened?  Why does your face look tense? Are you feeling ill? "Was tea not to your liking?" Marylin started rambling as she started to panic because of how tense my face looked when I was lecturing Blaze,

"No, I am fine." "Just a little too excited about the session." I said,

(There's no way I am telling what my pet thinks about her)

"Really?  That's good then, now tell me what a mana core is." She asked us to drag us back to the main topic, 

"Mana core is like a heart where our mana is saturated." I said, That's all I can say since I never focused much on the mana cores or mana glands,

Sigh,

"That's a bit of a crude description for mana cores," Marylin sighed; she made an expression of disappointment on her face.

I waited for her to correct me on my crude description,

"Listen carefully, Ren, The power to control mana is largely genetic. 1 in 100 children are able to sense mana, which can only be tested when one's mana core is completely developed—anywhere from early adolescence to the late teen years. Once a mana core manifests in their body, they can control it, or more precisely, they can bend or mold mana according to their will."Marylin explained that according to her, the mana does not control but helps us to store mana inside our bodies, and with the support of the mana core, we can mold and move atmospheric mana according to our will.

I didn't know that only one person in a hundred can use magic,in the game, only characters that can use magic well were introduced, so we had no way to know that there are people who cannot use magic but this difference makes this world seem like a real world more than any Game,

 "look's like you have lot to learn." Marylin said as she gazed at me with her pearly eyes,contemporary romance
