Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess!

‘Magic’ is an indispensable element in fantasy world settings,

The magic system in this world consists of the classic four elements of water, fire, earth, wind, as well as the special opposing elements of light and darkness,

Water overcomes fire, fire overcomes wind, wind overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, light and darkness counter each other… These familiar settings should not be strange to many game players.

However, adopting such settings in gacha games is mainly to utilize the mutual countering between various elements to construct numerical confrontations in card games, increasing the so-called gameplay and monetization elements.

But for Yvonne, who has reincarnated into this world, those once mere background settings have now become real magic,

Now, she is about to witness the birth of a genius.

“Young Miss… I still think I…”

However, this future genius magician’s small hands holding the staff were trembling, looking like she was about to cry, completely lacking confidence to properly cast magic,

She was still very shy, once away from Yvonne’s side, little Elsa became as uneasy as a chick separated from its mother hen’s protection,

Although happy to be relied upon, Yvonne still hoped she could become more confident.

“Don’t worry, Elsa can definitely do it!”

She could only encourage her like this,

Every girl probably dreamed of being a cool and beautiful magician like Elsa from “Frozen”, elegantly using powerful magic while singing and waving her hands.

But after trying for a long time, Yvonne realized that so-called ‘magic’ in this world truly required talent.

As a villain, her own talent was limited to mediocrity, a fact that no amount of effort could change.

Even with the best teachers, top-notch teaching equipment for assistance, holding an exquisitely crafted gilt staff, practicing day after day, she still couldn’t hide her average aptitude, more than once causing her magic teacher to shake his head and sigh.

But Elsa was different.

She was special.

In this world, as the female protagonist, she was the chosen one.

Honestly, Yvonne had felt jealous.

After all, that was something she couldn’t obtain no matter how hard she tried. Yet Elsa, as the female protagonist, could get it so easily,

But after entering the academy and learning magic with others, her perspective changed.

Yvonne had seen Elsa practicing magic diligently after school.

Like an athlete constantly practicing swings, the girl swung her slender arms, tracing perfect arcs in the air,

Yvonne then realized that geniuses put in no less effort than herself.

Her diligence was so dazzling, inspiring admiration.

That’s why Yvonne hoped she could become radiant again.

“B-But…”

But little Elsa was still very nervous,

She couldn’t understand at all why the Young Miss had brought her to such a place.

Faced with the penetrating gaze of the sharp-eyed magic instructor, she was originally shy, and being pierced by such a scary gaze made her stomach hurt, so nervous she felt like throwing up.

“You know, Elsa—”

“…Hm?”

Seeing her still hesitating, Yvonne stepped forward, wanting to ease her tension.

“Actually, I had a dream before this.”

“…A dream?”

“Mm.”

She nodded with slightly exaggerated amplitude.

“—I dreamed that Elsa grew up to become a very remarkable magician.”

This wasn’t actually a dream, but something that would indeed happen in the future.

Elsa Dorothy would soon emerge as a prodigy, becoming a famous genius magic girl in Oz Kingdom.

However, spoilers were not allowed by the system, so she found a loophole, saying she just had something like a prophetic dream,

This trick worked quite well, except that coming from a child’s mouth, it wasn’t very credible.

Saying this was actually more to boost her confidence.

“Such a thing…”

How could that be possible…

Just as she was about to say this, her hand had already been gently lifted by Yvonne without her realizing,

Little Elsa’s face instantly flushed red.

“My dreams are usually very accurate, you know? Besides, how would you know the result if you don’t try?”

Come to think of it, this should be Elsa’s first encounter with magic, right?

Then, taking the first step is very important.

Yvonne felt honored to be the one leading her to take that first step.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be with you.”

Together…

Just hearing such words made her feel at ease.

Elsa tried to adjust her breathing, finally stopping her trembling.

“Mm-hmm, very good—”

Yvonne placed her hand over Elsa’s, guiding her to raise the staff in the correct spellcasting posture.

“Try the incantation from just now. If ‘silent chanting’ doesn’t work well, you can recite it softly.”

“But… which one should I use…”

Seeing her looking at herself pitifully, completely unable to make a decision.

So this was the problem she was struggling with.

Yvonne found it a bit amusing.

But thinking about it, this seemed to be her fault. Although she knew the female protagonist had affinity for all elements, so it didn’t matter which one to start with, Elsa didn’t know this.

It was understandable for someone encountering magic for the first time to struggle with such a choice.

“When you don’t know your elemental affinity yet, of course you should try them all.”

“…Mm!”

Finally gathering her courage, Elsa nodded nervously, closed her eyes, and began the incantation:

—Eternal fire of life

—Water that nurtures all things

—Wind soaring in the sky

—Earth of myriad phenomena

“Elemental spirits gather in my body, guide me to the source of power!”

The trajectory of the staff tip was correct.

After finishing the last incantation.

The marble floor beneath began to tremble slightly.

The surrounding air became moist, currents swirled, the wind element awakened.

Sparks of fire flickered at the staff’s tip,

Rainbow-colored magical starlight shimmered at the end of the staff,

…As expected of Dorothy.

Yvonne was secretly amazed.

To awaken four elements on her first use of magic.

Even the usually stern grey-bearded Bogg’s gloomy eyes showed a surprised expression.

“Did it… work?!”

“Mm-hmm, didn’t I tell you?”

Seeing Elsa’s face flushed with excitement at successfully casting magic, Yvonne was genuinely happy for her from the bottom of her heart, reaching out to pat her head,

“If you keep practicing magic like this, you should catch up to me pretty soon.”

This was a talent only she possessed, something Yvonne didn’t have. Thinking about how she would be left behind in the near future, Yvonne inadvertently revealed a slightly lonely expression.

“No… how could I become better than you, Young Miss…”

Misunderstanding Yvonne’s meaning, little Elsa suddenly became very anxious,

She was able to learn magic only because of the Young Miss’s grace, how could she outshine the Young Miss in this aspect?

If… if she were disliked because of this—

Just thinking about it plunged little Elsa into deep panic, her face turning pale.

“Be a little happier, I don’t mean I’m jealous of you.”

Seeing the stiff expression on her face, Yvonne couldn’t help but step forward and pinch her cheeks, trying to squeeze out a smile.

“But…”

“Don’t worry.”

She softened her voice,

“Your power will also become my pride.”

The last sentence was especially quiet.

Yvonne’s face slightly reddened, saying such cheesy words was really embarrassing for her.

“I can… become Young Miss’s pride?”

For Elsa, these words held extraordinary meaning.

Until now, no one had ever said such things to her.

It was the first time she could become someone’s pride.

Fire brings warmth.

Gentle winds dispel confusion.

The earth sprouts buds.

Droplets merge into the sea.

Just a tiny speck of dust, yet cradled in her palm.

So, she wasn’t worthless after all.

“…Eh, what’s wrong?”

For the first time since coming here, she threw herself at Yvonne, crying like a real child.

“Don’t, don’t cry, don’t cry—”

Startled, Yvonne had no idea how to comfort her, could only hugged her in a fluster.

After consulting Mr. Bogg, they ended today’s magic lesson early.
