I’m a Villainess, But I’m Happy Because I’m Healthy - Chapter 13
“Thank you for inviting me.”
Wearing a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up.
The young man in a black vest worn over it and black cotton pants that looks comfortable to move in.
The black hair shone in the sun, and the black eyes that reflected Aslan were like a mirror.
“It’s you. The child who has awakened the enhancement attribute mana.”
The low, thick voice combined with the cold expression was threatening, but the tone itself was soft, so Aslan didn’t feel scared.
“Uh…… Yes, yes!”
Aslan stuttered.
She knew this man. He was much younger than she remembered, but he looked almost unchanged.
“My name is Bertrand Schumann. I am the teacher who will be teaching you starting today. I look forward to your kind cooperation.”
It was a very nice answer with a slight smile.
And the moment she heard the name, Aslan was sure.
Bertrand Schumann.
He is……
‘Do, don’t tell that the target character is my teacher?’
He was one of Fantasia Attraction’s target character.
He’s not just any target character, but……
‘M, my favorite character!’
He was a very special target character to Aslan.
***
My favorite character.
It refers to your favorite character among the characters that appear in games, novels, and cartoons.
Aslan, a hardcore user of Fantasia Attraction, also has her favorite character.
However, her favorite character is not the main character.
‘Is that really Ber-nim?’
(T/N: Nim (님) is a title of respect. Nim (님) is usually attached to professions.)
Her favorite character is a sub-target character.
In the case of the main target character, events are held periodically and opportunities to build good feelings are given, but the sub-target character doesn’t have such an event at all, so it’s often that their existence is unknown unless you meet them.
Aslan, who targeted all the main characters, naturally targeted sub-characters too, and among them was Bertrand.
‘To target, you just need to raise your physical strength to 100, right?’
Bertrand’s job in the game is a physical education teacher at Wigdrasil.
To be precise, he was a master of physical strength training and physical enhancement magic, and although he was born from the common people, he was a genius who was given the rank of Baron in recognition of his outstanding talent and achievements.
However, it seems that he is not working as a school teacher yet, perhaps because it’s still early.
So he’s here as a tutor.
‘Anyway, It’s really Ber-nim! That arm, that chest! It’s not fake!’
There was only one reason why Bertrand was the favorite character of Aslan in her previous life.
It’s because of his physical beauty that is more overwhelming than any other character.
Like the keyword ‘physical education teacher,’ he was very fit.
She felt a desire to stroke the raised tendon with my finger that probably would not budge like an iron bar even if she hung on it.
Even now, Aslan was looking at his left hand.
On Bertrand’s left hand ring finger, there was a ring with a blue sapphire on it that shone beautifully.
‘Because Ber-nim is a married man from the beginning.’
Married. In other words, married man!
Based on the character story, he’s a man who has been engaged since childhood.
At the time of the game, he was married and had a daughter, so the user could not marry him even if they succeeded in targetting him.
Instead, he met the main character and kissed her on the forehead on the night when the full moon rose beautifully on the summer day of the third grade.
‘This is the best I can do for you.’
And the protagonist and Bertrand promised to remain as a good teacher and a student.
Just like that, after the protagonist graduated, she lived on with dedication by holding onto her memories of that time.
Aslan recalled that the ending was called
‘Well, I wasn’t even thinking about getting married.’
There is only one reason Aslan made Bertrand her favorite.
Because she envied his body.
In her previous life when all she was doing is lie in bed and play games, she wished several times to have a healthy body like that.
In other words, it’s not because of love, but the birth of a favorite character based on admiration.
Perhaps that is why, even though only the two of them were left in the room, her heart was not pounding because of love.
Instead, it was because of excitement as she felt as if she had met a cool and respectable senior.
“Teacher! Let’s start class!”
“Yes. It’s nice to be motivated. But before we go to class, there’s something we have to do first.”
Bertrand scanned Aslan’s body with his eyes.
Then he uttered a shocking remark.
“Are you 136 centimeters tall and 38 kilograms?”
“Yes, yes?”
“It’s your body profile.”
No way, you can tell just by looking at it?
Indeed, he doesn’t have the title of master of physical enhancement magic for nothing!
“I heard from his grace. You have a tremendous talent for enhancement attributes, right? He said that you may have a talent that will surpass me.”
“Oh, no. That’s a little……”
“When I awakened my mana, I laid sick for three days. But yours didn’t even take half a day.”
Once enhancement attribute magic, when you exercise, mana will be consumed instead of calories.
Bertrand pinched the very content that Aslan was curious about from the beginning.
“You may not know this, but if you learn the magic of enhancement attribute, you won’t lose weight easily. The body-strengthening magic using enhancement attribute is automatically activated from the moment you learn it.”
“I was curious about that, too. If so, all those with enhancement mana should be pigs. But…… you’re slim?”
It was more appropriate to say that he’s firm rather than slim.
Anyway, Bertrand nodded at Aslan’s question.
“That’s a good question. But that’s just common knowledge. It’s because there are so few users of enhancement mana that it’s not well known.”
“Is that so?”
“That’s right, the mana will be consumed instead of calories. As the body itself is strengthened by mana. Endurance, muscle strength, and all other energy of action are consumed by mana instead of calories. It’ll be back to normal when the mana is completely exhausted, but enhancement mana is so fuel-efficient that it doesn’t happen easily.”
“Then…… you really won’t lose weight, right? You just gain more.”
“That’s only half right. That’s what happens to those who haven’t properly learned the magic of the enhancement attribute.”
Upon hearing that, Aslan recalled herself in the game.
Normally it was absolutely impossible to gain such tremendous weight.
‘Didn’t I learn enhancement magic in the game?’
Was I still strong enough to become the final boss even though I didn’t learn the magic properly?
“If you learn proper reinforcement properties magic, calories are converted to mana. Exactly 90 percent of calories are converted to mana, and the remaining calories are used to maintain vital activity.”
“T, that!”
“In addition, you’ll never gain weight even if you eat too much. Your body will be able to readjust itself. Because it strengthens all the systems of your body, so is your poise.”
If that truly is the case, then I’ll have the constitution that doesn’t gain weight even if I eat!
Enhancement mana was greater than she thought.
“In other words, enhancement magic is not just a magic that strengthens the body, but also a magic that makes the body perfect.”
“I, I want to learn it quickly!”
I can easily go on a diet if I learn it!
Bertrand smiled lightly, liking the motivation that Aslan showed.
“Good. You’re very passionate. But the process is very tough.”
“I will overcome any difficulties!”
“You’re going to experience pain that’s beyond your imagination.”
‘What, what? Is it that hard?’
Seeing Aslan surprised, Bertrand continued to talk.
“If you just learn enhancement magic, you will become a pig just as you said. But if you do it with harsh training almost like destroying the body, the magic will permeate in the body. The more you repeat the process, the more the boundary between mana and the body disappears. This is the future course that you will learn.”
That’s the essence of the perfect enhancement attribute magic!
It’s not just magic, it’s magic that makes the body itself!
“Well, this is the first time I’ve heard of that.”
“Of course. If the owner of enhancement mana has ordinary talent, they don’t have to do it this severely.”
If a person has a ordinary talent, it’s okay to do it only moderately.
It was possible to learn it just by working hard with roughly a bodybuilder-level exercise, and there will be no problem.
“But you’re not.”
However, Aslan is a fraudulent character with immense talent.
A genius with the highest talent, befitting the title of the final boss!
If she learns magic like the ordinary users of enhancement attribute magic, the magic power will be too big and powerful that the method mentioned earlier will not work for her.
Bertrand, who was already aware of the fact, has made pre-organized a curriculum just for her.
“It’s going to be a very painful, muscle breakdown and recovery process that you’re gonna have to go through hundreds or thousands of times.”
“……Really?”
“Yes.”
“Really, really?”
“Yes.”
“Really, really, really, really?”
“……”
Bertrand handed something to Aslan who kept asking.
“First, change into these clothes. It’s hard to proceed with the class if you’re in a dress.”
A really simple, long-sleeved suit divided into top and bottom.
The tight clothes that Aslan would wear were handmade products Bertrand made after finding out Aslan’s body measurement from the Duke in advance.
“Magic itself doesn’t need to be taught separately. As I said, the body itself will be the magic. During torture…… No, it can be learned naturally during classes.”
‘He just said torture! I didn’t hear that wrong did I?’
“Once you’ve built up your body to a certain extent, you’ll have to learn the strength control magic. If you don’t, you will become so strong that daily life activities will be impossible for you.”
“I, is it that difficult?”
Seeing Aslan look up at him in fear, he said coldly.
“To the point of death.”
To the point that I’ll forget that he’s my favorite character.
“No, it’s hard enough that you’d feel like you wanna die instead.”
It was a cold voice.
Bertrand showed a cold smile to Aslan, who had turned blue.
The smile no longer looked beautiful to Aslan.
The smile.
Her favorite smile is……
“Don’t worry. Just before you die…… I’ll teach you.”
A Devil. (惡魔)
“Ocasionally you’ll see the river of heaven and hell, so make sure to not go over it.”
Nothing more, nothing less.
T/N:
Well, everyone, it seems like the novel will be MC-less in the next chapters.
Say goodbye to Aslan.
