Chapter 158: Caution! Please Do Not Read if You Are Bad with Cruel Depictions!
Following the usual pattern, I was taken to an empty classroom.
ââŠNooow then, I guess we should have a lilâ welcome party. Right, commoner slave? Weâre going to start a fun event for you from now on, okay?â
The one saying that stereotypical line of a villain noble while looking down at me was a freckled boy with dull ocher hair who seemed to be their boss. The boys around him laughed scornfully, showing their allegiance.
Since I finally got a rare chance for a fine performance, I tried to go along with them by pretending to be a frail boy.
*tremble* Iâm no bad commoner.
âFirst, take off your clothes. Weâll mark you as our slave with a hot iron.â
The boys approached me with sadistic smiles on their faces, and just at the moment when they surrounded me, trying to grab me,
*SLAM*
I locked the door with magic. Moreover, I expanded my soundproof magic.
The boys jumped with a start in response to that loud bang.
âHey, hey, donât get surprised by something of this level. Otherwise I wonât be able to enjoy the welcome party you were going to hold for me, right?â I kindly informed the boys with a smile. âA slave mark, huhâŠ? You guys sure got a nice taste there. Recently I was thinking that Iâd like to have some slaves myself as well. Slaves are used as playthings before getting killed and thrown away like trash at the end, no? Iâll turn you guys into my slaves. Be happy.â
The boysâ faces were dyed by shock and surprise due to my sudden change in attitude. However, only the boss glared at me full of scorn with an expression that made it very clear that he was totally underestimating me.
âHaaah? What are you yapping about, you little piece of commoner shit?â
ââOh my, oh my, itâs wrong for nobles to use such vulgar language, you know?
âBack at you, why is the likes of ănoble shită talking back to me? It looks like you need thorough disciplining.â
I closed in on the boss in an instant, and tore off one of his fingernails. A scream and a spray of blood whirled through the air.
âHmm, looks like I wasnât able to tear off the skin as well,â I muttered while placing a hand on my chin.
Then, I guess Iâll go on with the next.
Leaving the bawling boss alone, I looked at the boys around me, and said, âWhereâs the hot iron?â
âHiii!â
The boys cowered in fear although I didnât even do anything to them yet.
âŠ.I wonder why?
While tilting my head in confusion, wondering whether it wasnât the normal procedure for them to leap at me after getting angry, I continued, âHey, I asked you a question. Where is the hot iron?â
Because they started to run at once, I was sure they were hurrying to the place with the iron, but instead they tried to open the door.
âI-It wonât open!â
âWHYYYY!?â
âLet me try!â
The boys were kicking up a fuss at the door.
âThatâs only natural, isnât it? Didnât you tell me that youâd hold a welcome party for me? You guys thought that you wouldnât let me get away easily, didnât you?â
Once I spoke to them, they jumped with a start and turned my way.
âMoreover, following that intention, you chose this place so that no one would hear even if I screamed at the top of my lungs, right? And thus, out of pure kindness, I added soundproofing magic to this room! No matter how much noise weâll make inside here, nothing of it will leak outside. The door wonât open. I even made sure that it wonât be possible to open it from the outside.â
I slowly walked towards the boys. The boys were frantically pulling at the door and drumming against it in an attempt to open it, but thereâs no way itâd open like that, is there?
ââŠNow, let us continue the welcome party. Iâve been eagerly looking forward to such a development! No one who would stop me is present either! You guys will allow me to have some fun, wonât you? Make sure to not break too easily, okay? At last, my long-awaited ăThe frail-looking, new commoner student is being bullied by the nobles who love to torment those weaker than themă standard event has been triggered! In compliance with that event, I must squarely go along with the event as the commoner representative!â I grinned broadly at the boys.
Welcome parties held by nobles for commoners seem to be about branding the commoners with a hot iron.
With that out of the way, I found the hot iron and marked everyone!
ââI wonder about the original purpose of this hot iron. Moreover, theyâve been as kind as making it a magic tool. Youâre not going to say itâs a magic tool for torturing or something like that, right?
Unfortunately, I easily broke the boysâ hearts with this and they apologized to me, but as might be expected of the one calling himself boss, he alone had quite the will-power.
âDoâŠyou beâŠlieve thaâŠt thingâŠs will end wiâŠth this afâŠteâŠr having doneâŠaâŠll of this!?â He told me!
âYeah, thatâs how it has to be! Keep coming at me! Iâll return it hundredfold and add even worse tortureâŠIâll hold another welcome party! You show quite some promise, boy! Alright, Iâll use torture thatâs even more painfulâŠIâll welcome you properly!â
When I gleefully agreed to his words, he started to cry, âA-As soonâŠpeople see these wounds, itâŠwill be clear what youâŠdid, and youâll be senteâŠnced to death!â
âOhâŠso thatâs what you thought? Donât worry. You see, I can make healing potions, and I can also heal you with magic even without relying on potions, if I feel like it. âŠLook, itâs all back to normal.â
I healed him with a snap of my fingers. And then I cheerfully smiled at the boss, âOkay, letâs start from the beginning again. âŠIf I remember correctly, you told me to take off my clothes, didnât you? Alright. Get naked. Iâll press the hot iron on your prided dick and turn it into a pitch-black lump of meat, okay? Cool, isnât it?â
