"Potimas's soul is inside my body?"
The moment Felimeth heard this news, she felt a chill run through her entire body.
Seeing her tense expression, Tsukasa-chan thought she probably knew some truth and wasn't completely in the dark.
The fact that the teacher had that man's soul inside her was discovered by Eidor.
After all, Eidor was a powerhouse from ancient times.
Though it's unknown how strong she was.
But since the Fairy Race in this world is akin to an incarnation of the world's consciousness, one could imagine how powerful the Fairy Race was in ancient times.
Potimas's little tricks were nothing in front of Eidor.
"I've now used a secret technique to seal Potimas's soul. Although I can't destroy him, he temporarily can't continue monitoring you."
Tsukasa-chan comforted her expressionlessly.
To be honest, this method of handling it wasn't the safest.
Ultimately, that man's soul was still hiding inside the teacher's body like a worm. Now it's just put into a dormant state using a special secret technique.
If the teacher fell into that man's hands again, this secret technique would probably be easily broken.
After all, it was his soul, and he was skilled in this area, so he could naturally easily awaken the sealed part of his soul.
Although Potimas's little tricks were nothing in front of Eidor.
But Eidor is now in a weakened state, with less than one-tenth of her former power remaining.
Destroying this part of the soul is something Eidor can no longer do.
There are currently two feasible methods.
First, let the teacher die once. As long as the teacher dies, this part of Potimas's soul will also die.
Second, master soul-manipulation magic herself.
Both methods are difficult.
The first method requires mastering a resurrection skill. Only then can the teacher be brought back to life.
Such a skill does exist in the system.
But this skill doesn't appear on Tsukasa-chan's skill learning panel.
Clearly, she hasn't met the conditions to obtain this skill.
The second method.
Although Eidor possesses the Necromancer's Magic Tome.
But this magic branch also doesn't appear on her skill panel. That means she can only learn magic the ancient way and can't obtain it through the system.
The conclusion reached was that this matter was very troublesome.
And it wasn't just due to skill limitations.
The teacher's personal emotions also had to be considered.
If the teacher didn't trust her, then this matter would be hard to handle.
But if the teacher would rather believe the Elf Race than her, then it would be best to leave it to fate.
When the time came and she had the ability, she wouldn't mind helping the teacher, even if she might not receive gratitude afterward.
She would consider it repayment for the help her teacher gave her in her previous life.
Although she always felt that help was unnecessary, she did receive a lot of assistance in her daily life.
For example, when the rent increased and she was struggling to find a new place, it was her teacher who helped her find a house.
She could have handled these things herself.
But that wasn't a reason to be ungrateful or forget kindness.
However, if she couldn't handle it when the time came.
Then she could only pretend not to see it.
Of course, if the teacher was willing to trust her, then she was quite confident she could resolve this matter.
Because all she lacked was time to learn the skills.
As long as the teacher trusted her and remained vigilant against Potimas, not letting him tamper with her body further.
Then she was very confident she could solve this.
Tsukasa-chan looked at the despondent Felimeth.
Felimeth's current mood wasn't one of betrayed fury.
She had vaguely sensed this possibility long ago, so now she felt more lost and confused.
The truth of the matter had been laid bare before her.
She could no longer stubbornly convince herself as she had before.
Felimeth's hands trembled as she thought of her students still in the Fairy Village, worried about their safety.
No!
She had to do something.
Because of her, her students were in this situation. Now she had to find a way to rescue them!
"Tsukasa-chan..."
Felimeth forced herself to pull herself together.
"If you're thinking of returning to the Elf Race, I advise you to give up. Going back will only make things worse."
Tsukasa-chan interrupted what Felimeth was about to say next.
She had already guessed what Felimeth wanted to do.
Regarding this, she thought Felimeth's idea was very foolish.
But commendable for its courage.
At least she would absolutely never make such a decision herself.
Hearing Tsukasa-chan's words, Felimeth could only use a smile to mask her current helpless feelings.
"I want to protect everyone."
Her voice carried a sob.
Clearly, since coming to this other world and obtaining prophecy-type skills, her mind had been under immense pressure.
Tsukasa-chan could guess that the prophecy's outcome probably wasn't good.
Otherwise, the teacher wouldn't have chosen the Elf Race even knowing they weren't a good option.
If the prophecy's outcome hadn't been so terrible.
Given the teacher's personality, she would never have forced her students to go to the Elf Race.
"I think your worry is unnecessary, Teacher. You can check your prophecy skill. If the information on it hasn't changed, then it means they're temporarily not in danger."
When Tsukasa-chan mentioned this, she looked at her teacher with a subtle expression.
"Speaking of which, I'm also curious why you think you can change the future? From what I know of some settings, those who can foresee the future are often the least likely to change it."
Because prophecies are often part of the future itself.
Even in many conspiracy theories.
It's precisely because someone saw a prophecy about the future and tried to change that bad future that the future ultimately turns out that way.
Often, those who can foresee the future aren't protagonists who can change fate.
They are often just pawns chosen by fate, key figures in bringing about that future.
"..."
Felimeth understood what Tsukasa-chan meant.
Foreseeing the future could be said to set the future in stone.
Since it's an already determined future, naturally there's no possibility of changing it.
No matter what she did, it was likely to lead to that predetermined future.
But even knowing this, how could she bear it after seeing that outcome?
The content of the prophecy she saw.
Was the death of her students.
The entire class.
None survived.
Not a single one lived past 16.
"Teacher, how about working for me?"
Tsukasa-chan's voice brought Felimeth's mind back to reality.
She saw a calm smile on the girl's face.
"As payment, I can try to help you change that fate."
