Succubus' Life in Another World

Another week has passed, and another day of attending some boring classes and training after school was about to begin. The training has started to show its results, with every participant now being able to maintain their magic power control for an hour without any trouble. After doing our usual training today, I’m thinking of advancing to the next step. Or that was what was supposed to happen.

「As informed previously, we will be using the training area for our class today! After changing into your uniforms, head to the training area!」 「Eh?」 「What? You haven’t heard about it, Lily? It’s going to be a problem if the top student doesn’t have her act together! If you don’t have your training uniform, then just come naked!」

It’s that sort of harassment, huh. It seems like Sola, Tebby, and the other students participating in our training had been given the memo at their dormitory room. In other worlds, only Urania and I came unprepared.

「Geez, what pointless harassment Professor Herman’s doing!」 「I know! Moreover, he even said “come naked”, he’s making light of the Purple Peer’s Household!」

At the dressing room, Sola and Aura, a girl that recently joined our training, grumbled so in anger. The girls that have joined factions have already finished changing and left a while ago with smirks on their faces, while the one other girl that also participated in our training earlier left apologetically.

Both Sola and Aura are also done changing, so all that’s left for us is to change. Well, if doing something this small makes them happy, then I guess they can be happy all they want. After all, a change of clothes isn’t something I necessarily need to go out of the way to prepare.

I quickly used 【Dream Fabrication】 to produce a training uniform. This training uniform is similar to a riding habit and was made for ease of movement. It’s made with 【Dream Fabrication】 after all, so it’s actually of higher quality than the training uniform we left back in our room. While it will disappear if it gets scratched, since the top, bottom, and inners are separate, it shouldn’t result in becoming completely naked after one hit. Rather, I don’t think it would get scratched during training at all.

「Lily, that is…….」 「I’ve prepared spares just to be sure.」 「Mn, mine too?」 「Yes, naturally, I prepared for you too.」

Just freshly made though. Her size? How long do you think I’ve been with Urania? I obviously know her size.

Successfully changing into the uniform, the four of us headed to the training area together. At the corridor, we were joined by Tebby, and the male students who participated in our training were waiting for us out of concern. There’s really no need to worry much about harassment of this level though.

◆◇◆◇◆

「Tsk…… Everybody’s here! Now then, we will begin our lesson for today. With one week of practice, your magic power control should now be passable to an extent! Today, you will be showing the results of the training you’ve done up until now!」

Oi, you clicked your tongue just now, didn’t you! I guess his true nature is finally coming to the surface. Anyhow, the results of the training up until now? What is that even? Even a year with that training won’t give you any proper results……

「Now then, let’s begin with a mock battle. Lily! Come up here! And you too Hermie! Glen! Milt!」

Including me, four students were called. Hermie is a daughter of a purple peer like Sola and was ranked 5th in the class sorting examination, Glen and Milt are both the sons of blue peers and should be of the first prince faction. I recall that they’re 3rd and 7th respectively. By the way; Tebby, Urania, and Sola should be 2nd, 14th, and 6th respectively. Though with how she is right now, Sola could probably rise to 5th.

「The mock battle will be a two-on-two team battle! The teams will be divided into team Lily and Hermie, and team Glen and Milt!」 「Pleased to be working with you, Lily.」 「Of course, it’s my pleasure to work with you as well, Miss Hermie.」

The four of us headed to the stage in the training area. At that moment, I didn’t overlook the meaningful gaze Professor Herman sent to Hermie. Come on, now it’s this kind of plotting?

「You will be wearing this thing, it’s a damage mitigation magic tool. It’s only usable in this training area, but it’ll mitigate a fixed amount of damage. If it breaks, then you’ll be retired. This tool itself is cheap to produce, so no need to mind the expenses!」

Saying so, he handed us necklaces with some sort of jewel. Or rather, only mine lacks the magic that should be loaded into it. I see, so it’s a two-fold trap. Still, something of this level is barely a trap.

「Well then, are both teams done preparing now? Then begin!」

With Professor Herman’s signal, Hermie casts her magic. While she doesn’t seem to be quite good with magic control, her construction speed is pretty impressive. The other two are still in the middle of the construction stage. In a standard mock battle, if this magic hits its target, it’d change the battle into an early 2 vs 1 with the advantage on our side.

「Take this! “Flame Arrow”!」

The magic Hermie chose was a “Flame Arrow” that shot five arrows. She likely decreased the number of the arrows to speed up the construction speed. Moreover, I guess she also sacrificed her control, as three of the five are heading straight towards me. Geez, you even have your target’s back and this is all you can do? Well, if you’re having some difficulties with magic control, then why don’t I lend a hand? We’re on the same team after all.

「Wha-! That’s not what we talked about! Hermie!」 「I didn’t-! I was sure that I-!」 「Oh? It seemed to me that you had some difficulty controlling your magic, so I decided to help just a bit.」 「「「Wha-!?」」」

It looks like she held back a bit, as even though all five of them landed on the opponent, he’s still not retired. Nonetheless, a student with sloppy control over magic isn’t any match for me. 3 vs 1? With only me having no defense? So what?

While this would go differently if this was a mock battle at the guild, where the use of weapons is permitted; in the field of magic, I probably wouldn’t lose unless my enemy was a sage-class sorcerer like Ces. Rather, even with Ces, I’ll win next time. I’ve already prepared a secret weapon too.

In the end, none of their magic ever reached me; I hijacked their sloppy magic and had them hit each other, while for those that I couldn’t take control of, I dispersed its magic power and made it vanish. By the end of it, they dropped the act and just ganged up on me, but it wasn’t an issue at all. As all of their damage mitigation magic tools were destroyed, I looked towards the rest of the class.

「We of the student council have been conducting a more practical method of magic training. What you have seen here is a result of that training, to say the least. If any of you are interested, please feel free to come to the training area afterschool. We welcome everybody, no matter who you are.」

While it was an annoying harassment, that made for a considerably great performance. I guess I should thank Professor Herman for this then?
