-Synchronization is an attribute that only high-level spirits have. The spirit’s body can be used as much as the caster’s spirit power allows, and its appearance changes to the spirit’s current state. There are no other side effects.
‘…So, this means I can go back without having to wait three days?’
It was only when I had just finished reading that section that I noticed Miho cleverly hiding between the bookshelves.
Ruid was angry at the thought of being fooled three times in a row, so he tied Miho up – and didn’t want to disturb Hercy’s studies, so he just watched.
“Shall I tell you?”
Meanwhile, he was suffering alone, so I talked to him to help him.
Hercy was startled when someone suddenly spoke next to her, and then glanced at Ruid.
[Please, save me…!] I
made eye contact with Miho, who was hanging by the back of her neck, and jumped up.
“What are you doing!”
Hercy quickly snatched the fox from Ruid’s hand.
Moisture filled Miho’s eyes, and she was hugged tightly by Hersi.
[Hershii…! I was scared!]
‘That fox-like thing.’
As Ruid was trembling, Hersy approached Ruid with an angry face.
Hersi was slightly smaller than Luid.
‘oh.’
It felt good to be able to look down at Hersy, who I always just looked up at.
But-
“How dare you, what is this?”
“…huh?”
“explain it to me please. Why did you grab an innocent familiar by the neck and threaten him?”
It was his first time seeing Hercy angry, so Ruid was shocked.
“Do you know whose familiar this is and did you commit such rudeness?”
“….”
Ruid couldn’t answer.
“I am Prince Ruid’s familiar.”
Hersi lovingly stroked the fox and calmed it down. The fox was trembling as if he was scared.
Seeing that image makes me angry again.
The corners of Luid’s mouth twitched.
“That fox is a bad fox.”
“…!”
“Give it to me. “I need to give them some education.”
widely!
Hercy slapped away Ruid’s hand.
Luid’s eyes widened.
“I can’t wait to see how rude you will be.”
Hercy was quite angry.
I could tolerate everything else. Hersi would often ignore commoners who argued with him.
I just cursed in my mind and did not impose any sanctions. Because Ruid didn’t want that.
But it’s different now.
‘Luid trusted me and entrusted me with it.’
I couldn’t forgive him for messing with Ruid’s familiar.
“I will ask you one last question. “Why did you scare an innocent fox?”
Although Ruid understood it in his head, he couldn’t come to his senses when Hersy’s appearance changed so much.
I couldn’t even apologize. It was because he thought it was not his fault. This is just an incredible misunderstanding.
In the end, Ruid said these words.
“…There are circumstances.”
Hercy glared at Luid with full of contempt.
“You are really the worst.”
I took my writing utensil and walked out of the library angrily.
Before leaving, I looked back at Ruid and said.
“Please don’t let me see you again. “Because I don’t want to use Minerva’s power on a lowly commoner like you.”
Hersy’s eyes were full of murder. Even if it wasn’t just her eyes, Ruid, who was sensitive to mana, noticed that the mana in her attention was full of ‘hostility’.
It was Hersy who always smiled in front of him.
Ruid was so shocked that he could not move.
**
Ruid walked away with a blank face.
It wasn’t a fight with Hercy. It will soon return to its original state anyway, and then nothing will have happened.
But it was this thought that bothered Ruid.
‘In the end, all I had was a shell.’
The name is Louis Christopher. Windsor status. Innate magic skills. Arithmetic ability that gives you 10 when you input 1.
All of that was obtained for free through possession. What he had achieved on his own was nothing. At least it’s a tteokbokki recipe.
‘At this rate, I feel like I’m nothing.’
Ruid suddenly had this thought. I had no grounds to deny those words.
Because he’s really a nobody. That fact bothered me.
Hercy and Amelia. Since he is possessed by a person named Luid Christopher, he just likes him even if he doesn’t do anything. At least I don’t think I would have been able to become friends with the extra, or rather the main character, Justin if I had possessed him.
It felt as if this relationship was not his.

“Hey, all those lowlifes with dying faces over there.”
I stopped walking when I heard the voice.
I saw Damon sitting on the bench with an arrogant expression.
He put his arms on the backrest and raised the corners of his mouth.
“Are you worried?”
“….”
“As a reward for daring to interest me, I will at least provide you with counseling on your concerns. Well, I don’t plan on forcing it if it’s not necessary.”
Damon looks arrogant. In reality, it is true that he is arrogant. However, his insight had already been verified.
Ruid walked over and sat down next to him.
“I don’t have time, so just get to the point, lowlife.”
I wonder how much counseling would be possible with this attitude. Ruid felt like grasping at straws, so he gave up and spoke.
“What should I do when I realize that I am actually a nobody?”
“You speak as if you were a nobleman until yesterday and then became a commoner overnight.”
‘Oh, mind reading?’
Damon looked at Luid’s face and laughed.
“It’s a joke, lowlife. You can’t do that. “The nobility of the system are all in my noble head – but there is no one with a purple head like you.”
“…Oh yeah.”
“To answer your question, it’s so insignificant that I can’t even say anything about it.”
Damon crossed his legs and looked straight ahead.
“Status, talent, wealth, they are all innate.”
“…yes.”
“But- people don’t know that an attractive personality and the ability to put in a lot of hard work are something you’re born with.”
“Is hard work innate? And personality?”
“Yes, this was the first thing I said when I was born. ‘Don’t cry, girl.’”
Ruid’s eyes wavered.
‘That’s just crazy isn’t it?’
But it seemed like Damon would really have done that.
“So what is the conclusion?”
“If you weren’t born with those things, you need to be born again. On the contrary, if you are born with it, you are blessed, so just shut up and live.”
“….”
Ruid was at a loss for words.
There was silence for a moment. Ruid asked in a low voice.
“What if I feel like I’m no big deal after everything?”
“Tell me after everything is done. “Because that’s impossible.”
Ruid felt frustrated.
It was a frustration that came from not being able to convey his situation.
However, Damon pointedly spoke.
“In your case, it’s character.”
“…uh?”
Damon looked at Luid seriously.
“I was not born with character.”
It was a cool look that seemed to see through everything.
“…okay?”
“Effort and character are innate. Those two are the only values that can be changed even if they are not born with it. If there is just the right opportunity. Let me give you an example. The empire holds a martial arts competition every year. “This is a competition where, if you win, you can join the Imperial Knights as a reward.”
It was a fact that Ruid also knew.
Damon raised the corners of his mouth as if he was amused.
“You know what’s funny? “Most winners have strange circumstances.”
“…A strange situation?”
“For example, if you lost a parent, or if someone you love was treated badly by some nobleman. These are such cliché stories. Most people have feelings of revenge. Earnestness changes people. But this is, after all, a story about low-income people.”
Damon took out his spear, turned it around, and squeezed it tightly.
“Look at this.”
“…I’m watching. “Because I shook it loudly.”
It was a report he gave without thinking.
Come to think of it, Damon seemed to cherish this a lot. I always carried it around like an alter ego.
“It’s a spear given to me by a close friend of mine. He is the youngest member of the Duke of Windsor. You can’t believe they gave away something like this for nothing. “He is truly the best man I have ever seen in the world.”
‘…You were thinking that far?’
Damon looked at Luid.
“How is it?”
“Uh, huh?”
“If you were that Confucius, how do you think you would feel right now?”
“…Maybe they’d be grateful.”
Damon asked sharply.
“Why?”
“Well, well.”
“That’s because this body gave me respect. Everyone feels the same way when someone in a position like mine shows respect. And the opposite is also true. I actually felt respected after receiving this window. “I felt quite a bit of favor.”
For a moment, Ruid remembered what happened with Miho.
-Are you going to ignore what I say?
-If I have to do it, do it.
There was no respect whatsoever in that conversation.
‘…Is that why Miho didn’t listen?’
Now that I think about it, I felt embarrassed.
“The great nobles do not need to feel the momentum themselves. However, it only creates an opportunity for the other person. That method is respect. This is the only character a great noble should have, nothing else is needed.”
Ruid asked quietly.
“…Do you also have respect?”
“Of course.”
Damon nodded.
Ruid suddenly opened his eyes.
‘Do you call me an outcast every day…?’
Damon spoke as if he had read Luid’s thoughts.
“How would I rule without them? There is not a single low-income person who is useless. “It’s just mean.”
It was a bit strange, but Ruid clearly understood.
But I couldn’t hide the feeling of disappointment.
‘I never thought I could learn character from Damon.’
Seeing Luid’s expression look better than before, Damon grinned and stood up.
“I’ll just go. man of humble birth. I wasted too much time. and.”
Damon just turned his head this way.
“Never see me again. “I can’t be with a noble who pretends to be a commoner because I feel uncomfortable.”
“…!”
‘Did you notice?’
Ruid stood up and looked at Damon’s back.
“excuse me.”
“…Did you forget what I just said?”
Ruid pointed to Damon’s window.
“That window.”
“hmm?”
“It has a return function.”
“…Function returning?”
“Give it a name and come back when I call you. “There is such magic in it.”
Damon’s eyes widened. Ruid turned around and coolly disappeared with a feeling of victory.
‘At this rate, I guess I paid for the advice.’
It is a pity that one of the sacred items that should be returned to the Windsor family’s armory has disappeared.
**
Ruid drew a magic circle in a remote area. With a cane, carefully.
It was a magic circle I had seen in an ancient animology book. Ruid had an incredible memory that meant he could never forget something he had seen.
“…It’s done.”
It was modified appropriately. The solution to this magic circle is ‘forced summons’ and ‘forced contract’. A magic that feeds you a powerful agent if you refuse.
If this is activated, Miho won’t be able to tease herself again and
will become an eternal slave… – Respect her. That is the only character a great nobleman must have.
“….”
Ruid modified the magic circle.
The magic circle, which was quite complex, had a simple shape.
All that was left was ‘summoning’.
Ruid stretched out his hand and put his magic into the magic circle.
The magic circle glowed intensely.
“…answer the summons. “Great spirit, nine-tailed fox.”
When I recited a simple spell, the magic circle responded.
When I counted to 3 seconds—
BOOM!
A small fox jumped out of the magic circle. Ruid caught the fox.
“….”
[….]
The two looked at each other for a moment.
Miho couldn’t help but feel restless as she watched Ruid’s eyes, and Ruid just stared at her calmly.
“Miho.”
I flinch.
The fox’s slender body trembled.
He spoke in a voice as loud as a mosquito.
[Yes…]
“This time, I was too harsh.”
Miho’s eyes widened.
Ruid spoke seriously.
“You are also a great spirit, but I guess I didn’t respect you too much.”
Miho’s eyes were filled with emotion.
“Sorry. I’m serious. “It’s a bit hard to call it an apology, but this time, I’ll sign a formal contract.”
“—!”
Miho’s tail swayed gently.
[I’m sorry too, master! Oh, I was so cocky about my pet fox.]
Ruid smiled.
“Then give me my body back. “I will forgive you for lying that it will take three days.”
‘Yes, I was too young until now.’
From now on, I decided to use what I learned from Damon. Respect for others. If you do that, you can manipulate someone more easily than before.
‘At least let’s use what I have.’
Even now, if it had been originally, it would have been forced with magic. But I’m not sure about that. Ruid did not know much about the Great Spirit. However, if you make them obey you deep down in this way, you will never be able to confront them again.
Luid’s eyes became cold for an instant. Miho hesitated.
“I can’t last even a day with this body. It may be a joke to you, but it’s a terrible nightmare to me. Please.”
[Uh… that’s true.]
“Yes.”
[…I just increased the length of my hair.]
“…What?”
[I only touched the voice and head. Well, what I see now is the future image of Luid when he grows up. Hehe.]
“….”
Ruid’s smiling face hardened. He said with a straight face.
“…from the beginning?”
[Yes, there was intention. I never thought you would be so gullible…]
“From the beginning?”
[If from the beginning, where…]
“From the beginning?”
[…If my appearance in front of the classroom has changed. Yep.]
Ruid got up from his seat. Miho fell down.
“See you in 10 years.”
[Huh…?]
Ruid’s eyes were dead. This is a common human reaction when looking at a hopeless future.
“I have to go develop the magic of immortality. “If I don’t stop at 12, I’m screwed.”
[Now, wait a minute! Hersi, Hersi!]
Normally, if a child has good looks, it is difficult to distinguish between men and women.
So, stop your body before it grows any further.
Right now, Luid couldn’t think of anything else other than that.
