Chapter 52: 52
“Albert-Oniisama!!”
First thing in the morning, I rush over to find my eldest brother . Of course, not by running . A villainess must remain calm, cool, and collected at all times . But, a little speed walking can’t hurt, right?
“Alicia? What’s up?” Albert-Oniisama asks with a curious expression on his face .
“About the production for the magic academy, is it supposed to be some sort of stage performance?”
“Ah, yeah . It needs to be a demonstration or a showcase of sorts . ”
So it is a stage performance! Then I wasn’t mistaken . I guess that means that Duke-Sama really did ruin the mood because he wanted to see Liz-san and I battle it out… . .
“Why do you ask?”
“Oh, no reason . ”
“You’ll come to the festival to watch, right?”

“Of course!”
For some reason Albert-Oniisama is smiling at me . He looks super amused . But what for? Why do you look like you’re trying desperately to keep yourself from laughing… . . ?
“Al-Nii, the tutor’s here,” Alan-Oniisama calls from down the hall .
“See you later, Ali,” Albert-Oniisama says as he turns to leave .
… . . He’s taking classes at the academy, but he’s continuing to learn from a home tutor as well? Quite the diligent student .
I definitely can’t let myself fall behind!
Without further ado, I head off towards the library .
Alright! Let’s practice some magic .
I scan through the books detailing the spells for levels 11 through 15 .

… . . Magic to cleanse your skin? What the… . . ?

Does that mean it’s supposed to clean up acne and shrink your pores and stuff? If I could have used this in my past life, I probably would have struck it rich in no time .
Don’t tell me that darkness magic is the most trivial type of magic… . . Despite being one the five main elements!?
That sort of thing was never mentioned in the book that compares all the types of magic though… . But maybe it would be written in an exhaustive magic encyclopedia… . ?
I guess it’s a fact that’s not well-known . But for a skin care spell to be considered level 12 magic… . Could it be that darkness magic is actually focused around aesthetics and beautification?
Regardless of its usefulness, I would still like to practice it . But I’m already quite satisfied with my skin as it is… . . I’ll just have to put that one on hold until the proper opportunity presents itself . Though, I feel like I could go my whole life without ever having the chance to use it .
I continue reading through the book . This time my eyes fall on a skin destruction spell .
… . Wait just second, first it’s skin cleansing and now it’s a spell to literally destroy skin tissue!? It’s like… . . this book is trying to guide me down the proper path to villainy!
I’m feeling a very sudden spike in motivation . And it’s a level 15 spell! If I can just learn this one, then today will be quite the success . But, where am I going to find someone to practice it on?

And even though this spell is definitely useful for me… . . I still haven’t found any darkness magic spells that have much of an impact . Their uses are all so… . mundane .
Hmm, aren’t there any spells that I can at least try out right now though? I would consider it an added bonus if it was actually somewhat helpful as well .

『Level 14 Object gathering magic Even without using other magic to move things, all designated objects will gather together into one pile or stack . 』
I’m not sure where exactly this might be useful, but at least I can easily put this one into practice .
I scatter about 10 books all around me on the floor .
And then I just imagine… . . I snap my fingers .
A glittering aura envelops the books .
No matter how many times I see this, I still find it mesmerizing . This dark aura is just so lovely .

All of the books quickly slide towards each other, stacking neatly on top of one another . And in the blink of an eye there’s a small tower of books standing in front of me .
Quite the success if I do say so myself!
I guess it’s fine to stop at level 14 for today . And since I was able to use a level 14 spell, I’m sure level 15 shouldn’t pose too much of a problem . Besides, it’s important for a villainess to revel in indolence every once in a while .
Having successfully rationalized my sudden desire to be lazy today, I close the book and call it quits on my magic practice .

I guess I’ll go look for some more books to bring for Gilles tonight!
T/N: What do you guys think? Why is Albert-Oniisama so amused?? I have no clue lol .
Also, thinking about that skin destruction spell… . Anyone else imagine that scene from the Indiana Jones movie where the bad guy drank from the fake Holy Grail? Yuck .
