“Ugh, huh… … .”

I patted Mel, who was squatting on the floor and crying, on her head. Because the raw internal organs had been crushed, the amount of bleeding was significant.

When I stretched out my hand and lifted my face, I saw that my complexion was pale and my eyes were sunken due to significant bleeding. If I leave it like this, I will definitely die from excessive bleeding.

If you see him crying, he hasn’t lost his mind yet. If I had lost my mind, I would have really died.

I used basic healing to stop the bleeding and laid Mel down on the floor.

“Let’s see… … .”

“Huh!?”

When I pressed the area where the uterus was, it felt a little soft, unlike before, when it was smooth. It felt like pressing a balloon filled with water.

As it was the uterus that was damaged, the bleeding was more severe than it looked.

“Hmm… … . I can’t help it. It would be difficult if you died here.”

“Hmm… … ?”

I smiled at Mel, who was looking at me with blurry eyes, and took out a sharp dagger from my pocket, heated it up with fire magic, and then cooled it down with water magic.

“It’s going to hurt.”

“Yes… … ?”

He grinned and stabbed Mel in the stomach with a sterilized dagger.

“Ah, wow――!!”

Perhaps Mel had no energy to move, or perhaps he knew that if he moved, he would die, but he only screamed and did not struggle.

When I pulled out the dagger, I cried out loud and blood poured out. After some blood poured out, I pressed my stomach.

“Ugh!!”

“It’s done now.”

I used basic healing once again to heal the wound and pressed my stomach. There didn’t appear to be any problems.

I stopped the internal bleeding and treated the hemorrhage in the abdominal cavity… … . Although my blood pressure and body temperature have dropped, I think this is enough for natural recovery. hmm… … . Still, if I want to start moving right away tomorrow, I need to be in better shape than I am now.

I continued to use Basic Healing on Mel until her blood pressure returned to normal, and after using Basic Healing about five times.

After confirming that Mel’s blood pressure, pulse, and breathing had returned to normal, he smiled and patted Mel’s stomach.

“I won’t die now.”

“… … .”

I glanced at Mel’s face and saw Mel quietly closing her eyes.

“You must have been very tired. Well, it’s worth it.”

After tidying up and moving Mel to the dormitory, I returned to my room, picked up the letter I had put in the drawer, and headed to the men’s dormitory.

I could see how many people were not asleep yet, and how many windows were lit. It’s obvious that if I go in now and run into other students, it’ll be annoying… … .

Since it was night time, I calmly placed a sleep curse on the entire men’s dormitory. Rather than falling asleep right away, at a very weak intensity that induces sleep.

About 10 minutes have passed. The light leaking through the window diminished one by one, and soon all the lights in the men’s dormitory went out.

“Hmm, it’s neat.”

With a small smile, he went around the rooms of the men’s dormitory, looking for the Baron’s bastard whom he had seen during the day.

I was a little lost because I had never entered the men’s dormitory in all of the episodes, but unlike what I thought it would take quite a while to find it. Surprisingly, I was able to find my goal early.

When I opened the eighth room, an unpleasant odor came into view, and the baggy school uniform worn by the male student I had seen during the day caught my eye. I hope this is right.

Sigh――

I quietly entered the room using the silencing curse and immediately saw the face of a sleeping male student in front of the bed.

‘really… … . ‘It looks awful.’

He had gained a lot of weight due to not taking care of himself, so he had a greasy face, a folded chin, and eyes so small that you couldn’t tell if they were there or not. He had an appearance that you wouldn’t think of being in the same grade.

You can’t hear any sound due to the silencing curse, but if you look at the mouth opening abnormally wide, you’re sure to be snoring.

His appearance was so unsightly that I thought about thinking about it again, but wondering where else I could find such a talented person, I shook my head, put the letter inside the boy’s drawer, and came out of the room.

“Phew… … .”

I took a deep breath, massaged my crooked nose, and left the men’s dormitory.

“Have a happy academy life.”

As I was coming out of the men’s dormitory, I looked back and said that, then smiled and went back to my room.

The next morning. I frowned at the dazzling light coming through the curtains and the cold air that made my body shiver, and I raised my heavy body.

An all-too-familiar headache came over me, and with a throbbing feeling as if my heart was racing in my head, I placed one hand on my forehead and found that my hand was covered in shiny oil.

“Ha… … .”

After my headache was somewhat relieved, I got out of bed and sighed when I saw the window was open.

It must be that guy again. No, he’s the only one who can open the window of this room in the first place.

‘You stink.’

“Don’t make me laugh… … . Who is it that smells… … !”

I nervously closed the window, massaged my throbbing head, and opened the desk drawer to put on my glasses.

“Yes… … ?”

Inside the drawer was a letter I had never seen before. It was a bit of a strange letter.

From stationery to items sealed with sealing wax. Although it was clearly written by a nobleman, there was no seal on the letter.

“There is no seal… … .”

I thought maybe I couldn’t see it because I wasn’t wearing my glasses, so I put on my glasses and looked again, but there was no seal. Even if I touched it with my hand, the result was the same. It was just smooth.

Was there anyone I could write to? After thinking for a moment, I frowned when I remembered that I had no one to write to.

I wouldn’t write a letter like this as a joke… … . I do not know. I scratched my head and opened the seal on the envelope with my hand.

The contents of the envelope, perhaps unsurprisingly, contained a letter and five ominous-looking pieces of black-purple paper.

“What is this.”

Scratching my neck, I took out the letter and put down the envelope.

My legs hurt after standing for a long time, so I sat down on a chair and read the letter slowly.

[hello. This is someone who is watching your life from afar.]

The preface of the letter began with a self-introduction from someone who was watching me. The handwriting in the letter could be considered textbook, but to put it another way, the handwriting was so unremarkable.

It gave me goosebumps that they were watching me, but I quietly lowered my eyes to the next sentence after hearing the intriguing introduction.

[You have been chosen. It is time to throw away the contempt and persecution towards you, the disdain from others, and the reasonless hatred. You deserve it.]

“Huh. He’s openly trying to charm people.”

Since then, he has lived as the bastard son of a baron. Did you think I wouldn’t notice something that was so blatantly trying to charm people?

I don’t know who it is, but they think I’m a total idiot. I laughed at the unknown person who wrote the letter, then leaned back and read the next sentence.

[I’m not trying to charm you. I’m not trying to test you. I am sending you this letter because I know you have had a difficult life.]

“What… … .”

As if he knew how I would react, there was a sentence written that immediately contradicted my thoughts.

I got goosebumps. I wanted to throw the letter away, but I couldn’t.

I swallowed dry saliva and read the following.

[I just watch your life. I have nothing to want or desire from you.]

[I want a little more stimulation. That is why I am leaving you a letter with this gift.]

“Gift?”

Are you referring to that ominous-looking piece of paper that was inside the letter envelope earlier? I put the letter down on the desk for a moment, opened the envelope, and took out an ominous-looking piece of paper.

No matter how I looked at the paper I took out of the envelope, it only looked like ordinary paper. There was no content written or any symbols. It was just an ominous black and purple paper.

“What kind of gift is this? … .”

I frowned and picked up the letter again and read it.

[The five pieces of paper enclosed with the letter are not ordinary papers. That paper――]

“Hey!”

I was startled by a sudden loud sound and looked in the direction from which I heard the sound. The person I was sharing the same room with was standing in front of the door.

“Oh, why?”

“Tsk, you smelled so I left the window open and went out. Why are you fucking shutting it again?”

He said that and walked towards me.

I quickly crumpled the letter and tried to hide it and put the paper that came with the letter in my pants pocket, but it didn’t work.

“Hey, what were you just trying to hide in your pocket?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

“It’s nothing. Give it to me.”

“No, ah, it’s nothing!”

He tried to forcefully take the paper out of my hand, and I tried with all my might to avoid his touch.

But in the end, I couldn’t avoid the hand of the guy who was faster than me, and he grabbed the paper I was holding in my hand.

“Hey, let go.”

“Ah, that. that… … .”

“IC… … . Don’t stutter, you bastard… … . It smells like shit so I’m keeping my mouth shut. And, who is taking it away? I’m curious so let it go!”

The guy and I had a struggle while holding the same piece of paper together, and in the end, the paper couldn’t withstand the strength of the guy and I and ended up tearing.

Sigh!

“W-what is this!?”

A black powder-like substance spewed out from the cut side of the torn paper and entered the guy’s nose and mouth. I inadvertently took a step back at the strange sight.

“I, I have no fault!”

I said that out of fear, but the guy didn’t react at all. No, I reacted a little bit.

“Yes. You did nothing wrong.”

“What… … ?”

“You did nothing wrong.”

With trembling hands, I checked the torn paper remaining in my hands.

The paper, which was clearly an ominous black-purple color, had been bleached white.

I hastily opened the crumpled paper and read the part I had not been able to read.

[When you tear the paper while looking at the person in front of you. It will make the other person your slave.]

[That piece of paper is ineffective if it is you or the person you are dealing with is no better than you.]

When I held the last part in my hand earlier, I couldn’t read it properly, probably because the ink had smudged due to my sweaty hands, but I could clearly read the middle part.

It will make the other person your slave.

“Ha, haha.”

Just this, just this… … .

I grinned and took the black-purple paper inside the envelope.
