Tch, so what if you have the four mighty elements?! I'll have you know, I'm plenty powerful!
Turning to the little demon ghost next to me, I squinted at her, "Can you use magic?" I asked with a whisper.
"Now you think of me, of course I can!" Her chin raised upwards slightly, "Who am I?"
This condescending tone...
"Use it, I'll allow you to use my mana."
"And what do it get in return?" She raised a cheeky eyebrow and revealed a small smile.
"I'll think about lending you this precious body."
"Deal."
All the while, a sad James was completely overlooked.
In an instant, a strange feeling washed over my body as an icicle instantly appeared in front of me, shooting towards the slightly burning straw dummy.
With a bang, the straw dummy was reduced to two pieces.
And in an instant, Naomi grabbed my shoulders with her two hands.
"How, did you do that?" She asked seriously, with a crease between her brows.
Ohohohohohoho.
Bow down.
I think that but I don't think anyone would be condescending enough to use, "Ohohohohohoho." In public.
Or even out loud.
"The spirit attribute isn't useless~"
"What spirit?" she asked, full of doubt.
At this point, I glanced at the little demon ghost, she said she knew Naomi, but who exactly was she, I don't know.
The ghost who was in front of me, and behind Naomi, leaned forwards and rested her elbows on Naomi's head, "Lemme your body?"
Geh! How daring!
To show such disrespect to the main character/queen/villan!
Such a thing...
Should I? This child......no matter how I look at it, it should be fine, shouldn't it?
Looking down, I hesitated for quite a bit before grabbing the hands Naomi had rested on my shoulder, "I'll tell you after class!"
Looking at me suspiciously, she walked over to the side and turned to watch as the other students showed off.
Ah, such a long line...
Sighing, I sat on the field's soft grass.
Nn, comfortable.
Currently, it was Nathan's turn, and in an instant, he effortlessly cut the straw dummy into two.
Geh!
To bring a sword to a magic fight....
You're in the wrong academy!
Noticing my stare, he looked over with squinted eyes, and at that instant, the girls around started to squeal.
Tch.
Just die.
After about a long hour of suffering, the class finally concluded.
Sighing in relief, I turned to Naomi, who was looking at me with the same suspicious expression with Nathan and brother.
Currently, all of the other students had already left the field, leaving only as, as I had chose to stand here, and the three of them who were waiting for me to speak also stayed.
"Hey hey," the little demon ghost said while waving her hands.
Sighing, I looked down at my hands, which was fumbling with each other.
Earlier, I had simply willed for the little ghost to use my mana, and now, I only had to will for the little ghost to borrow my body, and in an instant, I fell unconscious.

[Nathan's pov]
In an instant, Nicole's eyes changed, the innocent light changed as the small beastman I knew looked at us strangely.
"Sister, brother, are you happy?" She asked with a smile.
!?
"You...." Sister furrowed her brows.
Nolan instantly growled, baring his teeth, he spoke with a deep tone, "Who are you?" before he pounced at his sister, his hand reaching to grab her neck.
But before he could even get close enough, a wall of ice appeared in front of him, followed by three more walls, holding him in from all four directions.
In anger, fire busted out from his body, melting the walls of ice as he snapped at his sister, no...my sister.
But before he could do anything else, Naomi called out, "Nolan, stop it." Her face was strangely calm as he walked over to the beastman slowly.
"You're...not my sister. She's not like this."
Giggling, the beastman tilted her head, "Why are you so sure?"
"You're crazy."
The moment after she spoke, a hint of insanity appeared in the little beastman's eyes, "I've been a ghost for so long, it would be strange for me to be sane." She growled as she grabbed Naomi's neck with her small hands, "So, why are you happy? Why? Why? Why? Why? WHY?"
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
Clenching her fingers, she muttered, "Why? I died so pitifully, yet now that you have this mutt, you forget about me? Why? Why? Why did you replace me?"
At this point, Naomi's face visibly turned pale, perhaps because of the chocking, or the words she sputtered, I don't know.
But I knew, I hand to protect this sister of mine.
Pouncing forwards, I grabbed Nicolai's hands and wrenched it away from her neck.
Bring pushed back, Nicolai's face became full of disbelief as she grabbed her face, "Why did I die? Why was I born that way? Why was my life so unfair?" she looked at me with insanity, mixed with fear.
"Why, no matter how scared I was, how I called for help, no one came? Why can't you hear me? Why?" she asked over and over again.
My mouth opened, I wanted to say something, but somehow, nothing came out of my mouth.
What could I say to the poor little sister of mine? Her life was truly unfair and painful.
Holding Naomi up, I looked at Nicolai and answered after a long while, "Because you're dead."
So, just pass on, and perhaps you'll live a better one in your next life.
Her face distorted into fury as she raised her hands, causing a dozen of icicles to appear, pointed towards the three of us, "If that's so, you all should die too."
Gritting my teeth, I raised my sword, but Naomi pushed my arm down and instead summoned a dozen fireballs to match, "Don't play around and let go of your resentment, then you'll get to pass on."
"Pass on, for what? You to forget me?"
"I never forgot about you."
"Then live in misery! Why are you so happy?" She screamed in reply as her icicles flew towards us.
Melting the incoming icicles with her own fireballs, Naomi spoke, "Everyone's coming, calm down and stop this."
She was right, with all this commotion, there was already a small crowd of students gathering, no doubt a teacher will be here soon.
The moment Naomi finished speaking, a red glow appeared on Naomi's right palm, and in correspondance, a ring of ancient text appeared around Nicolai's neck.
For the first time, sister used the power of an owner of the familiar bond, and at that instance, Nicolai fell powerlessly onto the floor as she clutched at her neck in pain.
"To use this body was a foolish mistake on your part."
Walking over, I picked up the body of the little beastman and walked out of the training field and towards the dorms, led by Naomi.
As we walked, Naomi spoke, "Either leave this body of your own accord, or we exorcise the hell out of you."
Hearing this, Nicole's could only laugh, "You, really replaced me with a dog, huh?" and after finishing her sentence, a hint of hurt appeared on her face before the light in her eyes turned back to the dense, innocent light I was used to seeing.
Rubbing her eyes, Nicole looked up at me, "What's this?" she asked with a red face as she tried to wiggle out of my carry, "Let, let me down!"
...
Letting go, Nicole dropped onto the ground as she covered her face in shame, muttering something along the lines of, "For me to be carried like a maiden..."
Wiggling on the floor in shame, she completely destroyed the previous atmosphere as she turned into a small dog buried in clothing.
Oi, don't always turn into a ball of fur when you feel like it.
Digging her small head out of the clothing, her two beady eyes turned back and forth at sister and I, and as if she just remembered something, her fur puffed up as she glanced at Nolan.
"She's asking if everything turned well with the, 'little demon ghost'."
...seriously?
Knocking her on her small fluffy head, sister snorted before leaving, walking to the staff dorm, no doubt to resolve the matter regarding the earlier fight and to ask about spirits.
Squatting down to meet the small dog, I spoke, "Did you lend the 'little demon ghost' your body, or something around those lines?"
Rubbing her furry head with her two small paws, she looked at me with watery eyes, nodding her head, and Nolan who was at the side spoke for her, "She said she felt bad for the little demon ghost who lingered for so long so she wanted to help her resolve her grudge."
...you're helping someone to kill the both of us, you know?
Sighing, I could only rub my temples, this thing should not be told to her.
Turning to Nolan, I spoke telepathically.
[Don't tell her about the thing that just happened.] and then turned to the little troublemaker, "Is that so, thank you for being so considerate."
I have a feeling, if she knew, she'd probably do something ridiculous.
Hearing this, the little beastman's tail curled in delight before she snorted and looked away, somehow conveying the sentence of, "I'm, I'm not happy at all that you praised me, idiot!"
How cute.
Rubbing her head, I stood up and dusted my dirtied pants, it seems that Nicolai isn't saying anything true to Nicole. So, there's a big chance something will happen again.
Sighing again, I reached down to pick up Nicole's clothes.
...why isn't she wearing underwear?
-----------------
[Nicole's pov]
[I'm hungry.] I sulked at brother.
Eh, why don't I communicate telepathically to the twins, you ask?
Firstly, I'm not bonded with Nathan at all, and as a beast, I can only do it with my owner and other animals.
Secondly, opening my mind to Naomi, means that she can sense my thoughts and emotions! H-how scary!
What? You say that she probably already can read my thoughts? I think so too!
Picking up my clothes, brother looked at me with squinted eyes as he walked towards the dorm.
[Youre not running around in that form.]
Tch, buzz kill.
Turning to Nathan with crocodile tears in my eyes, I looked up at his disgustingly handsome face.
"No."
Tch.
Just as I was about to bite him to death, brother suddenly picked me up, holding me by my armpits.
And faced with another disgustingly handsome face, killing intent rose in my heart.
Turning my dog head away, I faced the floating James, while the little demon ghost was no where to be seen, maybe her grudge was resolved and she passed on?
Tch, even James has a disgustingly handsome face, despite how unique his features was, he was good looking.
Looking at me with a strange expression, he spoke, "You're, incredibly..."
What? Is he going to praise my cuteness? Heh, despite my protests in the beginning, I do admit that my dog form is cute, Heh.
"stupid." he finished.
Just die.
Oh wait, he's already dead.
Just die again!
Lowered to brother's chest, I was carried all the way to the dorm I lived in, only to receive countless earpiercing screams.
"Kya kya, what are those two hot guys doing here?"
"Kya kya, it's Nathan and his familiar!"
"Kya kya! "
Tch, disgusting.
Looks aren't everything!
For the two of you bastards to be in the female dorm, isn't the normal reaction supposed to be,
"Kya kya, perverts?!"
Is this the power of looks!?
Escorted to the room, I was placed down on the carpeted flooring.
"Stay here and be good, okay? I'll trust you to stay here until Naomi is back." Nathan rubbed my head.
Tch, I'm always good, you know?!
Where's the trust?! To think Naomi said the same thing!?
Standing up, Nathan left with brother, with a click of the doors lock.
You bastard! You don't trust me at all, do you?!
