I was reincarnated into a merciless evil noble and stand at the pinnacle of the magical world, wielding control over magic.~ Just when I had given up on having a heroine, she came to me on her own accord~ - Chapter 15: Instructor Ashburn Danton

Chapter 15: Instructor Ashburn Danton

“Isn’t it Mom? Vanny-chan, what’s wrong? Can you greet me back in the morning?” the imposter spoke.

“――――Light Arrow!”

“Whoa!!”

“Missed… quite lucky, that one.” father clicked his tongue.

It dodged my light magic while looking exactly like my mother.

Well… though the power was weak, the magic did leave a mark on the wall.

“Because of you, Father’s office got damaged. You need to compensate.” father said.

“What are you saying! Who just fires magic at someone out of nowhere?!” the imposter furiously asked.

“You’re just in bad taste, that’s all. I don’t know what method you used, but transforming into my mother is out of line.”

“Mmm… but that’s my only amusement. An old man’s playful trick to surprise young folks. Can’t you forgive me a little?”

“No.”

“You’re tough.”

Who is this person, anyway?

Well, likely a teacher or instructor, but their behavior is too suspicious.

“Sigh… Professor Ashburn, stop the prank. I’m starting to feel uncomfortable too.”

“O-Okay. I see. I’ll return to my original form soon.”

With that, the figure of my mother, with hands on hips and all, warped and changed.

It was like squeezing and crushing a poorly made clay sculpture even more.

Once the commotion settled, the true identity of the person who looked like my mother appeared.

“Cough, I’m the one who requested for him to become Vanitas’ instructor, Professor Ashburn Danton.”

“Hohoho, I’m Ashburn. Count on me from now on. You can call me Ashburn-chan, no problem.”

“――――Change back.”

What appeared was quite an elderly person.

His hair had turned completely white, and deep wrinkles adorned their face.

However, their lively way of speaking conveyed an inner vitality.

A spirited old man.

“I thought you’d be pleased if I transformed into a beauty, but it seems I failed.”

“That wouldn’t do. The aura was entirely different, and the moment you turned into my mother, it became nonsense. Transformation?”

Transformation?

Could it be… transformation magic?

But such a magic user didn’t appear in the story.

Or perhaps I just haven’t read that far?

At the very least, an unknown magic user, fascinating.

“That’s right! Let me not hide it. I am the exceptional master of transformation magic, the elusive ‘Phantasm’ magic user acclaimed by the Ministry of Magic!”

“One of Ashburn-sensei’s innate attributes is ‘Transformation.’ Although he retired from the Ministry of Magic due to his age, his exploits are still legendary. Sometimes transforming into government officials for information gathering and manipulation, other times taking the shape of enemy soldiers on the battlefield for covert assassinations. While the empire enjoys peace now, there’s no doubt that this individual played a part in it.”

“Umm, I was trying to explain…”

“Oh, sorry.”

“But now, I’m living a leisurely retired life. Not much to do, just idling around, and then I received a message from this fellow. They earnestly asked me to ‘examine their son’s magic,’ so I reluctantly decided to come. After all, I was bored.”

Father had some connections with such a significant figure. 

As I pondered my father’s connections, it seemed like he saw through my thoughts and continued speaking.

“Vanitas’ desire is to master Grasping Magic, right? That’s why I  called him here. As a user of transformation magic, a peculiar magic akin to the famous Grasping Magic in the magical world. Ashburn-sensei worked as a temporary instructor at the Imperial Magic Academy for a while. That’s when I got to know him.” said Ernst.

“It was over twenty years ago now. Ernst was a timid and always timid student back then. He excelled in academics but struggled with magic. He was constantly teased by other students. That same fellow is now the head of the Marquis household; time flies quickly.” 

“It’s embarrassing to hear that.”

“But when we met after so long, something feels different about you, don’t you think? You weren’t this confident before.”

“Is that so? However, I’ll still lose to sensei. To transform into the appearance of my beloved wife right in front of me. If I ever think of sensei’s face while embracing my wife… I’ll hold you responsible for it.”

“Something must have happened to you! Scary! Threatening the head of the Marquis household is scary!”

U-uh, yeah, Father has changed quite a bit.

In a good way, he became more open.

…At least, it should be a good thing.

“That’s why I, Ashburn Danton, have been called by Ernst to be your instructor. So, what do you say? If you really don’t like me, I’ll just leave… But, are you interested in the transformation magic I’ve honed for many years?”
