I Don’t Want This Bad Ending Chapter 5
Advertisement
After reading the book that she got from the library, Evelyn tried hard to analyze and understand the theory behind mana manipulation and her mana capacity.
She can't just utter words like fire and then the fire will be lit, it's more complicated than that. She needs to know the principles and the thought process of gathering the mana and releasing it to her body so that she can use it.
Evelyn also needs to picture out the power output and how she will execute it when it's release.
And Evelyn knew that she already face a wall. She already tried everything on her own. And now, she thinks that she needed to request a tutor.
"There's a limit to things that I can do on my own." Evelyn mumbles.
Even if Evelyn doesn't like meeting with her father, she didn't really have a choice because everything that concerns inside the house must go through her father.
The mere thought of having an audience with her father sends her stomach into a rollercoaster.
She feel like she will have constipation and panic attacks when she meets the man who ignored the Evelyn in the book until her last breath.
If she could, she will not request a tutor but because the things that the Adelyn on the past knew was so different from a fantasy novel, she didn't have a choice but to seek help.
"Let's just do it... it will become my saving grace if I could learn everything about this world and how to use my powers"
Honestly, if she could find the person herself, she wouldn't want to see the face of her cold father that will look at her with no affection at all. But because of her vivid dream that keeps on repeating, she needs to prepare herself.
The only one who could save her is also herself that's why even if she doesn't want to see the man who abandoned her, she will be thick skinned. She just needs to steel herself and gulped down her pride because her life is more precious than her ego.
"If I'm going to be abandon by them, then why not leech from the start and enjoy the benefits that I could get from being a noble lady?"
Evelyn chuckles at the thought.
Now that she was determined, there was no reason to back down. She will need to get what she wants even if she needs to see the faces of the people who hates her to the core.
***
The next morning, Evelyn go straight to her fathers' office after having her breakfast, she decided that the earliest she request it, the earlier she could come up with a plan if she will get rejected by her father.

"Good morning, your Grace, I would like to discuss something to you."
The young face of the duke that has a silver-blue hair and red eyes didn't look at her and only continued his paperwork, meanwhile, Evelyn only waited for her father to acknowledge her presence and immediately begin the talk.
After finishing the last paper on his desk only then the Duke look at his daughter, Evelyn, who's still standing and patiently waiting for him to give his reply had her head down and was on stand by expecting to tackle the subject that she needs to discuss at hand.
"What is it...?"
Finally, the Duke asked after he was done observing the behavior of Evelyn that was out of ordinary.
"I would like to request to have my own tutor in magic..." Before she could finish her words, the Duke interrupted her.
"Why? Aren't you the one that said that you don't want to learn magic anymore..?" He shot a glare at his daughter with his pair of cold red gem like eyes.
"You already know the basics of your magic before and aren't you the one who said that you have enough of it?" The duke said as he was trying to discern what his daughters intention was.
"As you know Duke, because of the accident... I lost my memories and now I don't know how to use my magic..."
Evelyn retorted, but deep inside she was screaming her lungs out.
'Ahh!! This cold statue!! Do you really need to ask so many questions?! I only requested a tutor... it's not like I'm requesting you to hand me your wealth and assets! I only need a teacher who will teach me seriously!'
Evelyn was trying hard not to curse him, though she knew that he was not an affectionate father, or that from the start he already abandoned her, he was still the person who provide for the bratty Evelyn in this life. That alone makes the present Evelyn tried hard not to cussed at him.
At that moment, her thoughts was disrupted when the Duke suddenly talk.
"Alright... but..." Duke Keene is contemplating if he would give his daughter a personal tutor to teach her magic.
"What can I get for giving you a tutor...?"
"Pardon...?"
"I don't give a free meal even if you're my daughter."
She flinched when she heard the word daughter
'Haa... daughter? You can't even be called a father in my eyes.'
She tried hard not to let her emotions show. She look at the Duke and ask.

"Then... What do you want in exchange, your Grace?"
"Result. I already know your capabilities that didn't improve since you started to learn magic. I need to know that I'm not spending my fortune to someone worthless. Prove your skills then I'll give you a tutor in return."
"Stingy..." Evelyn whispers to herself that only she could hear.
'If it wasn't for this shit ending that was already predestined then I wouldn't dragged myself in here to get your approval, I wouldn't need to meet you, you jerk!' She cursed the Duke for how stingy he is to his own daughter.
However, there's not much she can do. In the first place, she don't have budget on her own because it was confiscated by her father because the previous Evelyn was lavished on her expenditure.
"Alright... I'll comply with your demands." Evelyn ultimately agreed.
"I'll give you two months. Give me a satisfactory result for two months. I'll also give you a sword instructor and a trainer... you know what I want right...? Evelyn?"
She only nodded stating her agreement with the conditions the Duke just made.
"Thank you, your Grace, I shall take my leave... If you'll excuse me." She hurriedly walks to the door and close it.
'Oh my goodness... that was so nerve-wracking, but now I have to study first to know if I can conjure the other elements.'
Evelyn wiped her sweating hands on to her skirt while walking towards the direction of the library.
"There's really no free meal in this world... even though I'm the only miss of this duchy..."
She could only sigh at her own position inside the house that has ignored her presence.
"Haa... this is really frustrating..."
***
After a few days, the personal tutors that the Duke hired, who will teach Evelyn for the next 2 months is on their way to the mansion of the Emsworth to meet the Young Lady of the prestigious family of the Duke of the Kingdom of Levingstone.
Evelyn was preparing herself to meet her new teachers here in the new world that she was put into.
She wasn't excited as she's been studying all her life before this.
'If it wasn't for my life, I'm just going to live quietly with luxury but because of this stupid novel that has a bad ending for the villainess I can't even enjoy that! I wouldn't have to go through to this shit if in the first place this house is not the home of those stoned face bastards!' She clicked her tongue so many times this day that her made started to notice it and worry about her.
"Is there's something wrong Young Miss?"
"No... it's nothing." She gave a wry smile to her maid to make her less worried, but it didn't work and only gave a reverse effect.
"Are you sure...?" Said Sheila with a concerned look.
"Yes... I'm sure"
Sheila smile but has a hint of worry painted on her face, she decided to let it be for now and guided the Young Miss to the study room where the teachers are waiting for Evelyn.
*clicked
Opening the door, Evelyn saw three individuals standing inside the room.
She made a curtsy and greet them the way Evelyn did in the past.
"Evelyn Callie von Emsworth, Daughter of Duke Keene Adalfurus von Emsworth here to greets the esteemed tutors, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."
As she said that with perfect execution befitting that of a noble lady the teachers was pleased and also greeted her back.
"It's a pleasure to be at your service Young Lady. I'm Ivo, a magician from the Ministry of Magic that resides in the Imperial Palace. I'll oversee your studies in magic." Said the Young Man who did a small bow with his pair of thick glasses with his grey like birds' nest hair.
"I'm Sheik, Young Lady, I'll be the one to teach you about the physical attributes that you need to learn while preparing for the academy. It's a pleasure to meet you." Said the man with a nice rigged physique with his tall stature, black hair, and slit eyes that make him look like a wolf.
And lastly...
"Good day Young Lady, I'm Lady Thrisha Latrish von Elusha. I'll be teaching you about etiquette and all social learnings that you need to know." Said the lady which is in her mid-thirties— with his orange hair, rolled into a bun and her graceful curtsy which revealed why she was in charge of the etiquette class.
After formally introducing themselves, the class will start tomorrow. The hellish training will start, and the cursing of Evelyn will be more severe than ever.

To succeed, Cairn must unite the kingdom and discover the motivation of his killer, using as many tries as it takes. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I exhausted pretty much every time loop story ever written and decided to write my own. You'll see a few similarities here between this story and some existing stories, at least initially. There's a lot of inspiration drawn from both MoL and Re:Zero, though in terms of pathos and darkness, this story leans more towards the latter. Be warned, it is something of a slow burn. The main character will grow and become powerful, but a theme of this story is that power comes slowly and often at great cost.
