As the serene landscape begins to fade away, i shake my head to clear my head. Only to sink into the squishy bed in despair. "Why does the story keep changing." I start crying again, well, as best as i can as a fox. Well, to be honest it isn't really that bad, i will at least be able to get help from Yuki whenever i need it. Its just more variable's to a story that hasn't even started. Moving on, I sit on my hind legs like a dog and imagine energy flowing from my tail though my body . .... .... .... Nothing? I'm sure I'm doing this right. What's going on. I collapse on the bed in defeat. "Ding" Congratulations, you have learned the basic skill, (F) Spiritual manipulation beginner. Progression: (0.01%) "Huh?" Suddenly a warm felling flows though me and my vision changes, it floods with darkness. Im in a black space with a golden orb Infront of me, its about 30 centimetres in diameter, I reach out to touch it "is this my spiritual core?" As my fingers touch it, I start to feel a warmth erupt from my abdomen. it keeps heating up, and suddenly I'm back on my squishy bed, blue flames are licking at my body The quilt chates fire. "no no no on no, go out." I start rolling around on the bed trying to put it out, only to spread the flames. The heat starts to intensify. I start burning, my fur starts to go up in flames, melting on my body. I start screaming . My vision turns blue. I start gasping for breath as my vision clears. I put my hand to my throat. "wait hand?" "Ding" Congratulations, you increased the basic skill, (F) Spiritual manipulation beginner's proficiency . Progression: (1%). "Haa haa haa, why, haa, is, haa ,it ,haa , so pain full." I smell smoke and look at my bed "kya!!! Bad fire, bad". I try to put it by beating the quilt on the ground, but the flames only intensify. "beeeeeeeeep, beeeeeep, beeeep, beeeeeep" An alarm goes off and a voice fills the air. "fox fire detected in room 666. deploying countermeasures." Foam starts to fill the room, obscuring my vision and trapping me. It starts to harden like im being trapped in cement. I start crying again as the rough texture rubsagainst my skin, after a while I start to drift off to sleep. ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Pov: Yuki "Excellent," I say to Clare, my voice filled with pride. "With practice, you'll be able to control this energy more easily. You'll learn to use it for illusions, healing, and even more powerful abilities." Little Clare opens her eyes and has a puppy dog look on her face, Fu fu shes so cute. seeing My grinning face. she asks, "What?" I grin back, my tails swaying from seeing her cuteness. "I'm going to be an instructor at your school, starting today." And with that, my cute little sister vanishes in a flash of blue flames, with a confused look on her face. "she's so cute." I clap my hand together and my grin fades away "time to deal with these Basterds." I leave the spirit world, the beautiful landscape fades away. And what replaces it is a room filled with the scent of blood and screams of pain, a dungeon. To be precise, its the royal dungeon of Midgard. I pick up a knife "Hee Hee, lets continue where we left off, Lord Slone" I say looking at the figure strapped down on a table ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Pov: Yuki, 3 hours later "haaa so refreshing" I wipe the blood off my face and go to my quarters inside the castle and start packing. "Knock, knock, Duchess Nakamura may I enter?" a young woman's voice comes from the other side of the door "enter" A young woman dressed in a maid uniform enters the room, holding a serving plate with a cup of coffee. "thank you Mia, but why is one of the kings spymasters dressed as a maid?" "I am to watch you and ensure that there I not a massacre at kailean Academy" "hump" I look away, pouting. "its not my fault that those eastern nobles hit on me" Mia looks at me with concern. "my Lady. They looked at you and you ripped their eyes out." I ignore her and finish packing "my lady, shall I get a carriage? "yes please, I'm dying to she mothers youngest" Mia looks at her temporary master in confusion "I thought you were a single child?" "Shes a new born" i reply, not looking. "Now, weren't you getting the carriage?" I shoo her away. ――――――――――――――――――――― "Ooh, I haven't been here since I was 12 years old," Yuki exclaims, looking around with a mix of nostalgia and excitement.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"My lady, can you please explain that?" Mia asks, her curiosity piqued.

"Oh, kitsunes do not gain sentience till they are 12. They are just baby foxes that gain human form.

"Is Clare the reason you threatened your way to being a teacher?"

"That and so I can put her on the family registry. Can't have her being bullied by some pathetic low-class nobles," Yuki replies, gazing out the window.

"Plus, newborn kitsunes are dangerous. She may kill someone."

Mia stares at her in shock. "I didn't think you cared about people."

"Oi, is that any way a maid should speak to her master? I might have you whipped," Yuki retorts, a playful glint in her eye.

Mia sighs, shaking her head. "As you wish, my lady.

"The carriage arrives at the academy, and Yuki steps out, her presence commanding attention.

I make my way to the headmaster's office, my tails swaying with each step. All 7 of them.

As I enter, Headmaster Elara Wyrmwood rises to greet me, her expression a mix of respect and fear.

"Duchess Nakamura, welcome. It's an honor to have you here."

"Thank you, Headmaster," I reply with a smile.

"I'm looking forward to teaching and ensuring the safety of all students."

"Of course," she nods, gesturing to a seat. "We have high expectations, given your reputation."

I sit down, crossing my legs gracefully. "And I intend to exceed them. Now, let's discuss the details of my role here."

Our conversation covers everything from my teaching schedule to security measures. Elara is accommodating, understanding the importance of maintaining a safe environment for all students.

The Headmistress really emphasized the brats safety.

After the meeting, I walk through the academy grounds, familiarizing myself with the surroundings. The students and staff stare at me in shock, but I pay them no mind.

My focus is on Clare and her wild spiritual energy thats pulsating around the area

As I approach the dormitory where Clare will be staying, I hear an alarm.

Rushing inside, I find Clare in the center of a room, looking distraught as foam hardens around her.

Flames have scorched parts of the room, and the smell of smoke lingers.

"Clare!" I call out, rushing to her side and pulling her out and grabbing her sholders"

"Are you okay?

"She looks up at me, her eyes filled with relief and confusion. "Yuki, I... I dont know what happened, I just couldn't control it. The flames... they just came out of nowhere."

"It's alright," I say soothingly, helping her to her feet. "You're still learning. It happens."

"We'll work on this together. But seriously, setting your bed on fire? That's quite the entrance!"Clare nods, wiping away her tears.

"Thank you, Yuki. I'm just so embarrassed."

I wrap my arms around her in a comforting embrace.

"Oh, don't be. This is nothing. Wait until you see some of the messes I've made.

Just try not to burn down the whole dormitory next time, okay?"Clare giggles, the tension easing from her shoulders.

"I'll do my best."

As we leave the room, I can't help but grin and say,

"Maybe you could sleep with me, i promise im a good pillow".
