Chapter 8 Little Devil

“What are you?” (Uskius)

“Firstly, I’ve never heard of a guardian who’s a human before, their usually monsters or mystical beasts. Secondly Kazuki told me about you surviving with a spear pierced through you and as if that’s not enough, he also told me about you easily annihilating top rank assassins and over 200 troops without a single scratch. From the moment I met you, I have not felt a single ounce of mana from your body, but inside there’s a strong killing intent.” (Uskius)

“So tell me, what are you?” (Uskius)

Yang and Uskius stared at each other for a while, with a sad smile she said, “I cannot tell what I do not know, I do not have my memories…”

“But, I can tell you this, I did not kill 200 troops, I only killed about 3 or 4 before one almost cut my head off and I fainted, as for the assassins, I woke up to that mess.”

Uskius mumbled something and Yang felt a strong gaze. One that feels like daggers piercing through her skin and seeing all of her insides. Normally a person would try to avoid that gaze, but she did not, she stared back strongly, showing she’s telling the truth. After some time,

“I see, you aren’t lying, fine then, since you don’t know what you are, you can’t possibly tell me what you are. I guess for now I’ll settle with what you’re planning to do.” (Uskius)

Shrugging her shoulders, she replied “To be honest, I have no plans, she said my memories will slowly return and one of “her” wishes is to live a normal school life, so I’m just trying to fulfill that for now I guess.”

“I’ll trust you for now since you haven’t lied to me yet, so here, fill these out, it’s tests to determine your academic standing.” Uskius handed Yang a pen and some paper with questions about all sorts of random questions. Yang skimmed through it and only filled out what she could and after 3 minutes, she handed them back.

“That fast!? HEY! WHY’RE MOST OF EM BLANK!?” (Uskius)

“Well sorry for not knowing any of the country’s geography, history, etiquette and all those stupid things, I thought I told you I had no memories.” *Hmph* (pout)

Uskius sighs and sits down on his chair looking through the math and language sections because only those were filled out and halfway through, and he starts to tremble.

“How… How did you know how to do math and language questions this advanced and in 3 minute as well!?” (Uskius)

“Really? I thought they were easy…” with a questioning gaze she looked toward Uskius

“Here do these.” Uskius handed her two more papers which she finished in almost no time.

“Their correct!? How are you able to solve math questions that has stumped the country for centuries in a matter of seconds!? And these language questions are the hardest we have… You completed them in less than two minutes… HOW!?”

“It’s common sense?”

“I’ll pay you 5 gold plates per season to teach here for math and language, how about it?”

“EHHHHHHH!?”

“Not enough? How about 10 gold plates”

“EHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?”

“20?”

“WAIT WAIT WAIT! TIME OUT! I don’t even know the currency and how much a gold plate is worth!”

Uskius gave a surprised face “Do you have any common sense…”

“Um… I don’t know, is there a class for that?”

“Ugh… the currency in this country is qian, 1 qian is a bronze coin, 10 of them is a bronze plate, 10 of those are a silver coin, then silver plate, gold coin and lastly gold plate, so 1 gold plate is 100,000 qian.”

“That’s a lot right?”

“… Think of it like this, this building cost 10,000 qian, my first offer was 50 times that a season.”

“…”

“…”

The room was awkwardly silent…

“That’s a lot right?”

“ARE YOU STUPID!? YES THAT’S A LOT!”

“How long’s a season?”

“YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!”

After a while of negotiation, they made an agreement. Yang will get 10 gold plates per season, a beginner etiquette, magic, archery, music and cooking class as well as a combat class based on her results from the tournament. As a bonus, Uskius gave Yang a special class. “Common Sense” class to teach her common sense created just for her. As for Uskius, he got Yang to teach math class for the smartest students and solve any math problems he brings to her, but she thoroughly rejected teaching language class because she didn’t know the limits of the translation skill and she didn’t want to find out.

After the negotiations were done, “Here take this, this black bracelet shows you’re a student here and it’s used as an identification, you’ll need it for using the school training ground, library, cafeteria and such. You’re school cloths will be sent to your room once their completed, it’ll take a day at most. School will start in a week, since the tournament will take four days. Also here’s this season’s pay.”

“EH!? Is this really alright? I didn’t even work yet.”

“Don’t worry, it’s fine.”

“Thanks.”

After I left the principal’s office I quickly went back to my room with the five gold plates, because based on what the principal said about the attack on the carriage, it means she was the one who took them out when she thought it was the soldiers that held out long enough or something.

I got to hurry back and check my status, if what Uskius said is true, then there’s going to be a problem…

…

After Yang arrived at her room, she hurriedly closed the door, and jumped on the bed. The room was a small room with a single bed to the left of the door, a single closet t the right, and a desk in the middle facing the window. The room was really small, but she didn’t care because there was an even more urgent issue at hand.

She sat on the bed and thought status.

I don’t know if the level or stats are over powered, but WHAT HAPPENED TO SCYTHE MASTERY!? IT LEVELS SO FAST! There’s also Assassin Mastery too!? I thought the other me was fighting them head on not assassinating them!? It even comes with skills, though I don’t think I should use them or people would think I’m an assassin…

There’s also this new skill in ??? Reinforce, I wonder what it does?

Reinforce [Gathers ??? from other parts and condense them in the selected location strengthening it, but weakens the location it gathered ??? from]

Wow, compared to the other two, this one doesn’t seem so overpowered since it’s a double edge sword… Well, that’s fine. Well, there’s nothing else that’s not normal.

Wait, something feels off… What… The… Hell… AGE 12!?

… DID I JUST GROW YOUNGER!? WHAT IN THE WORLD!?

Yang quickly opened her eyes to check her body and…

Oh my god… I didn’t know I could be any flatter than this…

And my dress… it’s down to my feet now… instead of my ankle… I GREW YOUNGER!?

Is this what the other me means when she told me we’ll die? WE’LL DIE BY GROWING YOUNGER!? NO NO NO NO NO THAT’S TOO SCARY!

As Yang was crying her eyes out, Miu and Yui got back from examination from the principal’s office and entered the room.

“Hey Yang we’re ba…. Is everything alright?” (Yui)

As Yang saw Miu and Yui, she instantly jumped on them and clung on them. Bawling her eyes out.

“I know I like hugs and all, but can you explain what’s going on?” (Yui)

*sob* *sob* “My age… It became younger… If it keeps going younger, I’ll die by young age, it already it's already 4 years younger.”

“Ehhhh? Didn’t you do that yourself?” (Miu)

“Wait what!? What do you mean?”

“On the day you killed the 200 enemies, you said something about changing your form into one that’s better fitted for school and shrunk in size.” (Miu)

“EH!?”

“Yea yea, I thought you changed it yourself since you’re going to be in the same class as Kazuki as his guardian, I thought you did it so you didn’t become the odd one out.” (Yui)

“And you two found it normal and didn’t tell me?”

“Well, you did massacre an army by yourself, and said you’re going to change your form, so I thought you knew about it…” (Miu)

“Plus, you didn’t change much, neither in height, looks or that part.” (Yui)

Yang who just stopped crying, was once again teary eyed looking at the place where Yui was pointing… and then she looked at Yui and saw a triumphant smile and once again bursted into tears.

“Yui!” (Miu)

“Uhhhhh, sorry, don’t worry it’ll grow… *fidget fidget* Ah! I know just the thing that’ll cheer you up. SHOPPING!” (Yui)

As Yui happily dragged Yang to Kazuki’s room, Miu followed behind with a wry smile.

…

“What’re we doing here?” (Miu)

“To get our luggage boy of course!” (Yui)

“Brother, are you here?” (Yui)

“Whatcha need little sis?” (Kazuki)

“We’re going shopping, you’re coming with us whether you like it or not.” (Yui)

“… Uh… I got some stuff to do…” (Kazuki)

“Whether you like it or not…” *glare* (Yui)

“But it’s really important stuff…” (Kazuki)

“Yang’s sad, so to cheer her you’re coming with us” (Yui)

“But… *Puppy eyes* ... *sigh* fine… you win this round” (Kazuki)

“Luggage boy get!” (Yui)

“Did you say something?” (Kazuki)

“Oh, no nothing, come on let’s go!” (Yui)

Yang quietly whispers to Miu,

“I thought you’re brother’s a genius, how did he get caught this easily?”

“never underestimate the power of the little devil”

“Come on you two let’s go!” (Yui)

“”Coming””

And for three days, the four of them went around the whole city going to store after store to shop and all the luggage, as expected, was carried by Kazuki. The image of the genius second prince following three girls with a mountain of bags double his height was so pitiful, no man gave him any jealous gazes, only pitiful looks and the title “Servant Prince”.

…

As Yang woke up on the 3rd day, “All students, please assemble in the colosseum behind the school building, I repeat, All students, please assemble in the colosseum behind the school building. Today’s the day for the Combat Tournament!”
