“Deca! It’s too much!”

  Run slow vixen! Run!

  I was ‘tutoring’ Giana again. She had visibly become faster. She was still slow enough to suspect that she had [Slow] on her, though. She also had become better at controlling her charm magic, which allowed for longer tutoring sessions. I would push for an extra-long session and accept getting devoured after.

  Giana was nearly at intermediate level. The variable parts in the epics shocked her when she found out though, and she requested a mountain of ice cream. I hope I’m not turning her fat, although she could [Transform] it away, and this tutoring might keep her in shape.

  I haven’t seen her dance in a while, so she might want to pick those up once I’m happy with her skill level.

  I chucked more [Illusionary Daggers] and Giana evaded one by diving behind a desk.

  She can even evade now! They grow up so fast!

  “Just wait! I won’t have mercy on you once I devour you!”

  And what if that’s my intention? Dodge this!

  The tutoring continued for an hour and was completed successfully. I got caught in a cocoon of tails and ‘devoured’.

  Giana wrote an interesting piece the day after. It would help those so-called experts in identifying important parts better.

  “Ugh, Deca, you’ve ruined magic for me. Most magic seems boring and unimpressive now…” Giana said, bored while spinning around on her desk chair.

  Welcome to my world.

  “I was wondering… you’re teaching me this and there is nothing I can teach you…”

  That’s fine, my skill set is loaded anyways. But… I’ve told Raishin this before. I learn or create skills that represent the people dear to me but… defensive barriers and healing are not things I’m that good in.

  “Oh…”

  So that’s why I’m turning you into a super weapon! You’re mine so that’s the same, right?!

  “How romantic!” Giana’s charm magic surged, but she kept it down. “Wait we need to focus! We’re taking too long on this!”

  Then stop resisting my tutoring and stop being a horny vixen…

  “You owe me a mountain of ice cream!”

  The [Hattrick] I would use was nearly finished. It won’t be using hats anymore so [Hattrick] would be inaccurate as a name, but any other name I could come up with were too long or sounded edgy. This must be the reason why some skills have names that don’t match their effects. Is this the secret to those?

  “I got it! Deca! I think I found out on how to help those experts, but not to the extent that we’re giving it out for free!”

  Giana showed me what she had written down.

  Impressive, I will make the best jellyfish shaped ice cream I can manage for you when we get home.

  “Ooh! I’m stoked! I will refine this!”

  We had been here for 3 weeks and Giana was already skilled enough to come up with something that could put most Misha to shame. Even if the rest of my friends come up with nothing and don’t learn anything, I could say that my plan was a success. I had promised to prioritize Giana, and that’s exactly what I’m doing.

  We snuck out of Azu’s lab and returned home. Our own lab was quite redundant to our discovery, as Azu’s contraption was quite vital.

  Our house was filled with a pleasant song, as the ice cream had elevated her mood. It helped me finish up my own [Hattrick]. Just the [Hattrick for Noobs], was left.

  “Does this mean my tutoring is over?” Giana asked while stuffing her face with ice cream.

  It will stop when you can dispel these curses. At least that s if you keep up with me, fall behind and you get a dagger between your eyes

  I shattered some illusions and produced an [Illusionary Dagger].

  “Please have mercy!”

  I thought for it and decided to let her enjoy her day.

  So Deca, how about we bring your breakthrough to the headmaster and use this [Illusionary Dagger] to pull some pranks? I’m sure you must have repressed the urge to prank like I did.

  “Oh yes, let’s prank that soap Misha, you weren’t kidding, she is petty and cuts corners!”

  We finished up and Giana briefed me on what the soap Misha would be doing around this time. Shitty soap, shampoo, body lotion, and the kind were just an inconvenience for me but a declaration of war to Giana so she had been keeping an eye on her.

  “She will be doing her hair this evening and then relax in the sauna before going back to create shitty soap. We will strike her in the sauna!” Giana said, as she showed an illusion of a localized map.

  I raised my hand.

  How do you know that she will be doing her hair today?

  “She does it every week on Tuesdays.”

  I was confused, why does she need to do her hair every Tuesday? What’s so special about Tuesday? And why every week?

  “I can see that you don’t understand why, but that’s fine as long as we get this prank off!”

  Garlic steam?

  “Won’t she suspect something is up, as you used garlic, the last time you had beef with her?”

  Fair point, what is your suggestion?

  “How about we show her illusions through the steam, as if she was stuck in a stinky muddy swamp!” Giana said proudly, which got paired with her puffing up her chest.

  How are we going to address that she can just hop on her catalyst and [Levitate]?

  “Would a Misha take a sauna with their catalysts? And their hats?”

  They should…

  “I will leave that up to you!” She said, as she made a cute idol pose and charmed me.

  Ugh, fine. I will turn her catalyst into soap, but since it’s her soap it won’t be able to get the stench off. I’m sure this Misha has never been out in the world, so she doesn’t know how a swamp smells. How about…

  I took a biohazard out of my dimensional pocket and pinched my nose.

  Raishin’s socks that laid in the sun for 2 weeks.

  “My nose! Deca! Are you trying to kill me?! Raishin’s socks can use [Poison Gas]?!” Giana covered her head in a bubble and I did the same. “Ugh, the smell made me dizzy, I felt lightheaded.” Giana healed me and herself. “That should work. There is no way that her terrible soap can deal with that weapon of mass destruction. Let’s ruin her day!”
