The next morning at the Academy, I was greeted with a rather surprising sight, to be honest. Monica was sitting right at my left side, glaring at me with deadly eyes, she was emanating a rather powerful aura of darkness.

"Did you lost something?" I asked her.

"Grrrhh… H-How did you do it?" She asked.

"What?" I asked.

"H-How did you reversed my curse?!" Monica angrily asked, beginning to bite her lips furiously.

"Oh, so you sent that curse to me." I laughed. "Well, isn't that a bit rude? I was in the middle of my meditation. So it annoyed me, and I sent it back. It is nothing really too hard to do once you get the to master Darkness Magic properly and obtain a Magic Aura too."

"M-Master?!" Monica asked. "I-I have never heard of a magic capable of just bouncing curses back to their wielders! And my family is one of the most well-known Dark Sorcerers of the entire Continent!"

Monica Darkbound was her name if I remember correctly… Well, looks like the Darkbound Family of Dark Sorcerers aren't that good if they don't know how to even reverse a curse back to their wielder, among other really basic magic spells.

"Well, if you want to know and learn, how about you join me with Gray and his party? I would gladly help you learn magic much better, but you'll also have to grow stronger physically, exercise is essential." I said with a half-bored tone of voice.

"E-Eh?! You want to teach me after I… I did that to you?!" Monica suddenly blushed, her eyes beginning to roll as if she was beginning to feel incredibly confused and embarrassed. "Y-You're asking me out? Y-You're really weird! Fweeh! I-I'm not going to fall for you!"

She suddenly ran away from me.

"Huh? She got the wrong idea…" I sighed, facepalming.

I guess she might be a bit autistic, or something. I'll have to deal with her eventually in other ways, I suppose. She'll eventually draw herself back to me once she gets the same curse sent back at her over and over again.

The day went by as usual, and I supervised Gray's training, the other students were only looking, but eventually, I started to think they should be added to the training. And so I added them, I forced everyone I thought needed heavy physical exercise to join Woo's boot camp.

If they denied, I fought them, beat them, and forced them to train. Nobody could deny my tyranny at this point, but I was doing this for their own good. After all, if they all end up dying in the C Rank Dungeon we'll have to explore with each Party, then everything will be for nothing.

So, as each day went by and my friends learned more than they had ever done in Class 1, at the end of the week, Monica dragged herself back to me, just as I imagined.

Her body looked paler than at the beginning of the week, and she seemed like she was half-dead. The classes for today had just ended, and just before we walked outside, she sent me another set of curses, which I sent back.

I've had enough patience with her, but this was the limit of my patience.

"H-How do you do it…" She groaned. "Ugh… My body…"

"How are you feeling today, Monica?" I laughed. "Is your constipation doing alright?"

"Agh! S-Shut up!" Monica cried angrily.

"Blake aren't you overdoing it a bit?" Eric sighed.

"Well the little brat has been sending curses at him all this time." Erdrich said while crossing his arms. "I would be mad too if she did it to me. In fact, I'm already mad she's been doing it repeatedly…"

"Maybe just reporting her would do more good." Chris sighed. "She doesn't learn her lesson, and its not like Blake wants to harm her either…"

"Hmph, would you cut it out already?" Erika said. "Blake hasn't been telling me this but once I learned I got really angry…"

"Eeep!" Monica quickly stepped back. "I-I… But he started it! He's so annoying, w-who does he thinks he is?!"

"He's not annoying he just worries about you all!" Erika said angrily. "You're all a bunch of useless pricks! What's wrong that my boyfriend wants to shape you into proper fighters?"

"Well why does he cares so much anyways?!"

"Can't he leave Monica alone?"

"Just take the curse!"

Monica's party members were rather bootlickers of her.

"Take the curse?!" Elizabeth asked. "What sort of logic is that?"

"This feels like such a useless discussion…" Elfriedden sighed.

"Right…?" Alberta sighed.

"You've been sending curses at me for a while now." I sighed. "If I report you to the professors, I doubt they'll take it easy."

"E-Eh? T-There's no proof of that!" She said.

"They'll easily believe me rather than you, Monica." I said. "You might be a Class 2 student, but I am the only Summoner here, and someone that has defeated an Archdemon's Vessel. I usually dislike using my achievements to gain authority, but this is my limit."

I glanced at her intimidatingly, as she started to tremble, although at the same time, she blushed. Her party was with her, constantly arguing against my friends, this conversation wouldn't end up going anywhere.

"Ugh…" Monica muttered. "F-Fine… Of course… I'll do it! As long as you win against me in a battle of magic! Dark Magic only!" She laughed evilly; a black aura surged from within her.

"Are you sure?" I asked with a giggle. "I will not go easy on you just because you're a girl."

"I-I don't care! I'll show you the might of the Darkbound Family!" She laughed. She seemed desperate to gain my attention more than anything, her group of witches were cheering for her…

Like that, we ended moving to the arena where students often did sparring fights, and there, we battled. The rules were simple, whoever steps out of the arena's field loses.

"Hahaha…! Prepare yourself!" She laughed. "[Abyssal Darkness Magic]: [Black Star]!"

FLUOOSH!
