If Im honest, I didnt want to be born into a noble family . They often have to learn etiquette and dance, and I dont like how there are so many lip services in the conversation with nobles .

However, there are also moments where I thought that its good to be born as a noble . I get to eat sweets regularly . And the price to eat such a delicious sweet frequently is not something that ordinary people could afford .

Sometimes I bought them myself and sometimes I received it as a gift from the queen and other nobles .

Today Im going to eat the cookies sent by the queen . The cookies must be tasty since its something chosen by the queen .

Rita, please brew me a cup of tea .

Please wait, my lady .

My maid Rita brews a delicious tea, and she does her job perfectly . If only she isnt on my fathers side, she could be the perfect maid .

Im so happy that today I can enjoy a good cup of tea with delicious cookies .

Oh? I feel the tea tastes different from the usual . The tip of my tongue is tingling, did she change the tea leaves? Perhaps it went bad .

Hey, is this the usual tea?

Hai, this is the same tea as usual .

It feels like sandpaper on my tongue . Im satisfied with the sweets that I bought in downtown . I dont think becoming a noble is suitable for me .

The tea that I drank on the next day tastes strange too . Maybe Im starting to catch a cold, though Ive never caught a cold .

Excuse me, am I speaking with Miss Yumiela?

When I was on my way back to my room after school to take a break, I was stopped by a man Ive never seen .

Yeah, Im Yumiela .

My name is Alastor, and Im from the Magic Tool Development Department . I wanted you to cooperate with magic tools experiment .

Even though I dont have any responsibility to cooperate with him, but I will since I was interested in the tools that were being developed .

Sure, as long as it doesnt take too much time .

No, it will be quick . I already prepared an empty classroom over there .

The fact that hes been talking to me told me the experiment would be something like an endurance test . I thought Id be taken somewhere, but it seems the experiment was done in the schools classroom .

Its a new type of magical handcuffs, and we want to test whether it can stand your power as the strongest in the kingdom .

Alastor showed me the magic equipment shaped like handcuffs . The handcuffs are a magic tool that restrains the targets magic .

He put on the handcuffs on me . I dont know what it is made from, but I can feel the weight of iron . They are built to be strong, both physically and magically .

A man being alone with a handcuffed schoolgirl in an empty classroom, somehow this looks like a crime scene .

Should I try to use my magic in this situation?

Yes, please gradually increase the magical output . If the handcuffs cant stand the magic, Ill give you a sign to stop .

I did as he said, but when I tried to activate my magic a little, nothing happened . Gradually I increased the amount of magical power that I release, but theres no sign of any change happen .

In the end, I tried to use my magic with all my might, but still, nothing happened . This magic tool is the first one ever to stand my magic .

This is all I can do . This magic tool is impressive .

I cant hear what Alastor said over the trembling of half shock and half excitement that this might be the first time in my life Im defeated .

All right! Ill kill you!

No, I havent lost yet . If I cant do it with magic, lets try to defeat it with something physical .

Uaaghh!

I tear the handcuffs with all my strength . The chains were easily broken . OK, with this, the fight between me and the handcuffs have ended in a draw .

Eh?

I found myself surrounded by armed men when I noticed . Alastor gave orders to the armed men with vile expression .

Hey, what are you doing! Kill her off .

Ano, excuse me .

Ah, yes . The experiment is just a lie that I made up . I never thought I could catch you so easily .

Im sorry I broke this .

What?

The rest of the armed men went rigid as they saw me tore away the handcuffs, and Alastor seemed too late to realize the fact .

His face that looks elated gradually grew pale .

See, Im not joking . Thank you for asking me to participate in this experiment . Well, lets get this over .

No Thats impossible .

It appears that I was about to be killed . Its a shame that he thought he could make me feel powerless by restricting my magic .

Alastor and the men were captured and handed them over to this kingdoms soldier . The principal says I need to be careful since there must be some people in the school that guided them .

Two days later, I woke up feeling a sense of discomfort in my chest . And before me was a man with a face covered with a mask . Is he a pervert or something? Did he touch my chest?

Ha, you fool

When I opened my eyes, I was surprised to see the man holding a knife in his hand . My clothes have a hole in the chest . Did he stab me? But I didnt feel any pain?

Etto, youre an assassin, right?

Hii, monster!

I was about to be killed again . I dont know this assassins level, but I think it would be easy to kill him .

They have been trying to get me assassinated twice . You should probably stay away from me .

I spoke to him in the school corridor, telling him wed better stay away for a while .

But I dont mind being bothered by Yumiela . It happened twice, whats one more time .

Hey Patrick, dont say such a disturbing thing . I almost get assassinated three times in a short time .

Hey, look out!

An arrow flew from outside of the window . Even though it wont hit and hurt him I still dont want his clothes getting torn, so I grab the arrow with my hand .

Ill catch the archer! Patrick, find somewhere to hide!

I jump out of the window, trying to catch the culprit . I will not forgive them, what if it hits Patrick?

Perhaps the academy has become a den for assassins . Im going to get out of the academy since tomorrow is a holiday .

Surround her, quick! Dont let her get away, stab her!

Twenty ruffians surrounded me in the Royal Capitals hidden alleys . They were armed with spears and swords .

Haa, Dark Bind .

Uaaaahh, what is this?!

They are restrained by the arms that extend from the shadow . I have no patience for this crap .

So far, the assassins interrogation was entrusted to the soldiers, but to this day, they havent been able to identify the real mastermind . Its about time I started looking for the culprit .

Who is your leader?

No one gave me a name, but I can see their eyes focused on one man . He is the man who gave orders to surround me .

You are the leader? Who gave you the order to put a hit on me?

I dont know .

Shadow Lance .

A spear flies out of the shadow and goes through the mans abdomen . The blood scattered all over the place .

Kyaaaaaaaa!

Then I heal his injury with recovery magic . There will be no scar left on him .

Heal . How many times I have to do this until you talk, hmm?

I dont have any skill that could torture someone effectively without killing them, so I did this on repeat . Its a humane torture because he will never die and didnt suffer any wound .

This is horrible .

This isnt something human do .

Shes really a demon .

I thought what I was doing was something humane, but their reactions didnt seem right .

It doesnt have to be your leader that talk to me, isnt it?

As soon as I looked around, they shut their mouth and turned their gaze away from me .

Please believe me, I really dont know! I dont see their face, but he told me to kill a black-haired girl from the Royal Academy .

The leader makes a desperate plea .

Thats not enough . Dont worry, even if I have to repeat this a hundred times, I still have enough magic .

No! I swear Im not lying about this! Please believe me!!

In the end, he burst out crying . Apparently, he really doesnt know .

The stranger probably asks the other assassins in the same way . I can understand why theres little progress to the investigation .

I was attacked in my room, a place where I rest . One night they just sneaked into my room, but now Ill be safe because Ive put a barrier in my room .

There was a plan to flying in the sky riding on Ryuus back, but it would burden him since he couldnt sleep when he flies .

Now that Im in my room, I let out a sigh while drinking the tea that Rita had prepared for me .

The tea still tastes strange for me . Should I consult a doctor if this continues? But everything else tastes normal .

Even so, their latest assassination attempts were getting more and more sloppy . Speaking of assassination, they usually use poison

Hey, Rita . Can you taste this tea?

When I offered the cup of tea I was drinking to Rita, she began to tremble, and her face paled .

P-please forgive me . My sister is being held hostage

Is that so? This past week Ive been drinking poisoned tea . Maybe the poison is weak and had little effect .

What kind of poison did you put into this?

Um, I was given a poison thats lethal in a drop dose . I put five drops every time

And I barely noticed this .

The in-game poison was differentiated for their strength and had fixed damage; in reality, it depends on the poison .

I might have been dead now if the damage was fixed . No, will I have noticed when I was on the brink of death? It would be a disaster if that ever happens because my HP was bottomless .

Because of that, I was ordered to

The one who told Rita to poison me probably was her employer .

Master ordered me to .

She confessed that to me, Rita seems given up knowing she couldnt escape .

My father was the one who is trying to kill me .
