Agnisotra: Origin Tails

I got ready and walked into the arena. It seems my opponent is a Misha.

“Oh, hey fellow Misha, my name is Arwen Clover.”

Oh hello, my name is Agnès Oures.

“Agnès Oures? The Silver Menace?”

Wait what? How do you know about that!

“I surrender!” Arwen ran away.

What had just happened? Do I now have 2 names that cause trouble?

I went back inside.

“Hey, what just happened your opponent just ran away!” My students seemed disappointed.

I think I might be a bit infamous.

“Hey dude, didn’t you disguise yourself to avoid that?”

You see Randy, you make a good point, unfortunately I may or may not have used this appearance before.

“I bet you were up to no good as usual.” Crissy was being harsh but she was correct. “So, what did you do to make her run away?”

“Yeah! Tell us!” The students became noisy.

So, I may or may not have pranked a group of witches so much that they have put a ‘Flee on sight’ order on me.

“So, one of the most powerful races known are afraid of you?”

Not afraid it’s more like uhm, they have a terrible matchup against me.

“Aww, we were looking forward to see you fight! Oh, look they have fixed something so that you can fight after all!”

Ugh.

They were correct, I was up again.

I walked into the arena and I saw a guy who looked like he would be a Silent Night. He was holding 2 daggers after all. I saw the Misha that had run away from my fight closely observe and she even had a notepad. What is she doing?

The match started and the Silent Night rushed at me. I swung my staff and he evaded it. He went for a dagger strike at my back and I flicked my hair and made my hat fall. It blocked the dagger strike and I used [Hattrick]. Both the Misha that was spying on me and the Silent Night were surprised because dropping your hat as a Misha is a death sentence. His surprise turned into horror when he saw me teleport to another hat and saw another floating.

I pointed at his feet where my original hat was. It had just finished [Fireblast]. He got blasted in the air and I sniped him down midair with several [Fireballs]. I made the other 2 hats move to where he would land and used [Explode] to keep him airborne. There was absolutely nothing he could do.

I made an extra big [Fireball] and defeated him.

He had spent more time in the air than on the ground. I also didn’t have to move a lot for this. And! I used my catalyst like how most Misha would use them!

He dropped down and was severely charred. Is he dead? I might have overdone it as he seemed one foot in the grave. Something was preventing him from dying though. Interesting. It works for me as I would have messed up and killed him.

The spying Misha had already written 4 pages full. What a weirdo. I walked off and got a lot of cheers.

“Wow you really humiliated that guy… and… killed him?” Hayley looked at as if she was feeling sorry for the Silent Night.

“Yessir! That was fantastic! The contesters in the arena are unable to die so you can let loose!” Mo was overly excited by my performance.

Oh that’s good to hear. I messed up as my moves still seemed a bit overtuned…

“Wow dude, do you mind if I copy that idea?”

Sure, I don’t mind, t’s not easy to keep someone in the air though. You’re also unlikely to turn your opponent into ash so go for it!

Randy started talking to his teammates on how to do this.

I had decided to interrogate the spying Misha. A clone had also notified me of some suspicious activity. Another university was stealing my idea and having their students beat up adventurers too. It’s time to spy on them and eliminate any threat to my students.

I casually walked through the crowd. The spy Misha was looking at her notes.

So what’s the status on learning [Hattrick] in Witchaven?

The Misha jumped up.

Wow chill, I’m not here to beat you up, yet. How about we chat were there are less humans around?

She nodded.

It had been more than a year since I had left Witchaven. Most skilled Misha should come close to getting [Hattrick] to work. The first one should appear in 1 or 2 years.

“Hello again, my name is Arwen Clover. I’m a big fan of your work. About [Hattrick]… it’s more complicated than we had expected… the headmaster said that Misha like Ayaru and Beatrice would be able to master this within 2-3 years. The skilled Misha would need about 10 and someone like me probably 50 to 100 years…”

Huh? Did I make a mistake? It shouldn’t be that hard?

“Well, this is why the headmaster was upset with you. Everyone was excited to know that they could use this within 2-3 years. But you see, only you and Ayaru can read the mana runes to almost perfection. Even though you had released a paper explaining in detail how it works and how to learn it. Most of your ‘Simple’ steps were quite difficult for most of us. So, at the moment we have 12 Misha researching those ‘Simple’ steps of yours. The order: ‘Flee on sight’ still stands but this only related to combat. They have sent Misha out to try and ask if you could return to Witchaven.”

Ugh, great. I’m sorry, I don’t belong there. I will only pay a visit when I need to raid your library. So, what were you writing down?

“Oh, well your fighting style involving [Hattrick]! Also, your friend Shelly has made ‘Dynamic Combat’ more popular. We’re moving to be a bit more physically active during combat. And the name ‘Fireball Misha’ and the skill [Catalyst Throw] are very popular now.”

Ah right, they used to call me the ‘Fireball Misha’ yeah.

“I was shocked though when you dropped your hat, for us Misha that would take a lot of confidence or courage.”

That’s fine. It’s just your hats are indestructible right, why not use it to block attacks.

“I’m sorry, that’s just too scary, what if it does break?”

I guess this isn’t as easy for you. But it’s up to you. [Hattrick] is very useful offensively.

“Do you mind if I share these notes with my peers?”

Sure, I wouldn’t have put that paper on their lap if I didn’t want them to learn it.

“Oh, the headmaster had another message for you. She told you to watch out for Verruka Saltpeter. She’s a Misha that went rogue and had killed many of us and extracted strong skills. I’m sure she will be interested in [Hattrick]. She had only murdered Misha, but the headmaster is sure that she would make an exception for you. Hunting Verruka down was Ayaru’s responsibility before she got sealed away…”

Well, she can stand at the back of the line. I already have a target on my back, getting one or 2 more won’t bother me at this point. But thanks for the warning.

“Ok, be careful! I will be watching your other fights!” She gave a thumbs up and went back to her seat. I thought about the useful information. I think Azu mentioned that she had to hunt someone down. Does that mean that this Verruka is as strong as Azu? If she doesn’t know [Hattrick] and needs a hat to be effective I might still have a good shot.

I wonder how she would extract [Hattrick] from me though. Of what I know about Misha physiology is that their hats stick around for a bit after they die. And since the hat knows the same skills as the Misha, they can be extracted from the hat. It’s not an easy process but it’s possible. Hacking into someone’s brain and stealing skills is way harder than hacking into a hat. Maybe I should develop a skill to protect their skills after death. I’m not sure how popular it would be for them but it might put them at ease a bit. I decided to put a tail on this.

My clones had been spectating and none of the students have lost a match yet. I had decided to pass every student except for 3. Their match would be soon and they will have to do their best a bit more. It’s a 6v6 battle but only 3 of them are doing the work. The other 3 are a bit of a liability.

My clone had concerning news for me. The other university that was here was not from close. They came from far, the country of Bizax. It borders Igrini Kingdom to the north and Hjuva to the northeast. It’s a religious country.

I didn’t know all this, this is what my clone had learned from spying on them. Now the concerning news was. They were from the Biian Academy and their religion is worshipping the bitch goddess. My clone also heard something about rumors of a Dimsha being here.

I hope thee 3 students pull their weight in their match because we need to get out of here immediately. This Dimsha is piquing my interest though. It seems to be important to this building because it creates barriers to protect people and makes it almost impossible to die in this building. It’s one of the few instances where I think such a powerful item is used correctly. It’s used for the people, not to protect some stupid arrogant king or something.

I also feel dutybound as this Dimsha prevented me from becoming a murderer and getting into a lot of trouble. I might have to interfere with this.

I sighed. This was just supposed to be an exam for my students. I had a match soon but I will have a clone deal with that. This cultist academy is super suspicious.

My clone had achieved a swift win. It was my [Fireball], [Staff Throw], dash to opponent combo. Nobody saw it coming. The spy Misha was super excited because she had probably heard about this.

I came close to where these cultists were hanging out when I got surrounded.

“Oh, we’ve found a hottie! How about you sit with us!” These guys had white silken robes adorned with gold. It did remind me of the dress that Tomato Goddess was wearing when I saved Norya.

It is time to go full vixen on them.

Oh no! I got lost!

“Don’t worry little bird, we will protect you.”

I had to control myself to not vomit. Does this actually work on chicks? I decided to play along. Oh, how reliable! I need to be at section D5.

“Eh? That’s quite far from here, how about you hang out with us for a bit and we will safely return you.”

Ehh sure.

They led me into a small hall. They kept staring. They could stare all they want but they will turn into Ash Cultists the moment they try something funny.

It seemed they had hired off this hall because I could only find cultists here. They were looking out of the window which was looking over a big arena where I saw some cultists fight.

“Look Hoyt, we found a hot chick!”

A guy that resembled the demi god got up. He was huge, easily 2.2 meters tall and looked quite… square. Did his mother fuck a cube? Is he even human? He towered over me and looked down to me.

Ow, my neck, can you stand a bit further away so I can look at you?

“Hmm a witch, I thought they had a lack of humor. It seems this one is different and interesting. She also seems more endowed than the average witch. Very interesting. She can stay.”

Hoyt went back and sat down and watched how his cultists friend were a bit too aggressive in fighting their opponents. Their opponents blood was flying everywhere.

Uhm, I’m not here to stay, I’m looking for D5.

“Oh, come one, just have some fun with us!” This random cultist put his arm over my shoulder and squeezed my left breast. “Oh, pretty big, aren’t ya?”

I grabbed his hand and burnt it to a crisp.

He screamed and activated some random light magic spell which I easily interrupted.

“Hey you bitch!”

How about you stop abducting random women and groping them, last warning let me go! I pointed my catalyst at the random who was unarmed.

“You will pay for this!” Unarmed random was about to attack me when he got blasted by a [Light Blast]. He crashed into the marble wall behind him.

Hoyt got up. “Feisty, aren’t ya? I like my women feisty. How about this? Join us?”

Sure, let’s go! Is that what you expect me to say? Is that square head for decoration?

Hoyt exhaled deeply. “Oh, I wouldn’t rebel if I were you!”

I got surrounded by cultists. “You might not realize this but by burning Purty’s hand off you got a stack of [Biian’s Judgement]. If she ever finds you, she will not let you off. Hurting any of us will just increase those stacks. But obey and come with us, and we will remove it for you.”

Unfortunately, this guy wasn’t bluffing. But I would be screwed debuff or not, that tomato bitch would target me before she finds out that I have these stupid status condition. But I want to know what they are up to.

I lowered my staff. Fine, but if any of you tries crazy stuff, I will turn you and your cultist group into ash!

“Hahaha! I really like that fighting spirit! I like you! What is your name? And we’re not a cult.”

I’m Agnès O… I paused.

Hoyt was looking waiting for a complete answer. I realized that I almost made a mistake. Gramps had changed my mom’s last name from Oures to Hourai. Why did he do that? Will giving that last name away tip them off? Do I need to create another name?

“Agnès Ou?”

Yes, Agnès Ou.

“That is a beautiful name, come and sit next to me, we will watch the matches together!” He looked at the other cultists. “If anyone of you touches her you will wish you were never born.”

He confiscated my hat and started treating me as some trophy, he was bragging about all kinds of boring stuff. He was getting too close and I was extremely uncomfortable. I was very small compared to him.

His hand also got closer to my chest. He did tell me everything I wanted to know though. I was unsure if this was because of my natural looks or because of the charm magic that I was leaking. I will have to find out what the deal is with charm magic one day. To me it seems to be one of the most overpowered magic branch that exists.

The cultists were here to practice combat but also to reduce the amount of non-believers. They were aiming for the Dimsha because it was a relic that’s only supposed to be wielded by those who were worthy. Of course, in all their arrogance are convinced that only they are worthy. I don’t know how but it seemed the monster trio was up next against some cultists. What are these idiots doing on this side of this building?!

“Oh, these three seemed to have been setting up an impressive streak. Those two there are quite attractive. Hey Ipush, bring those 2 here after they have been defeated. We will have some fun with the 3 ladies afterward hahahahaha!”

I smiled. There is no way the monster trio would lose against these idiots. Hoyt seemed to have misinterpreted my smile though.

“Oh, you are so beautiful when you smile.” That instantly killed my smile because I was disgusted.

The monster trio had more difficulties with these cultists than I had thought. Mo got hurt but not a lot. They could revert to their real roles now that they were fighting opponents that had more complex magic. One of the cultists was sexually harassing Crissy and Hayley and Crissy turned one into an ice cube. It wasn’t very strong ice because there wasn’t a lot of moisture in the air but it did stop him. Long enough for Mo to fuck him up and knock him out.

Hoyt leaned forward, not believing what he saw. He was squinting his eyes. It looked strange, squinting eyes on a square-ish face.

“What?! That’s impossible! Who are these three!” He yelled at a random cultists.

“Uhh, we don’t know Hoyt!”

These are students from the Ancie… Fugaku University.

Hoyt leaned back and smiled.

“And she’s knowledgeable. I should pay more attention to the witch race. They are alluring and intelligent.” He looked at his cultist friends. “You guys are useless! Go get something to eat for Agnès! And maybe also something…”

He looked at me. His eyes seemed to be licking my body. Is this how chicks feel when Raishin looks at them? “Pleasant to wear.”

I wondered what I should do. These guys didn’t know the location of the Dimsha, they have other cultists looking for it but I want to see the monster trio destroy these cultists.

Oh, Crissy landed a satisfying [Fire Punch] and knocked another cultist out. Hoyt seemed to try and control his emotions but his hand was still getting closer.

You are going to lose that arm if that touches my chest.

He twitched and his arm started creating distance.

The monster trio had won. They looked beat up but no major injuries. Mo was doing some dance. It looked a bit funny but he was really happy. The chicks hugged each other. Hoyt didn’t like this though.

“Ipush!” Silence. “Ipush! Where the fuck is Ipush?!” Square looked around but couldn’t find the lackey he had sent off minutes ago. Is his brain one big cube too?

“Uhh, you sent him to get those women when they lost.”

“Go tell him to bring them either way! That redhead is busty and pretty, I feel like fucking her and Agnès. Where is the dress I had requested?” And this is where I will have to step in.

I’m not fucking you! You look like a human sized cube! You probably are as stupid as a cube too!

He grabbed me and I tried to burn his hand off but my magic didn’t work. He pointed at a device. It seemed to cancel out magic circle formation.

“I love your spice, let’s get you in that dress first so I can get in the mood.”

Hey let me go!

Hmm I might have fucked up. Some female cultist came and dragged me away. They dragged me in a room and started putting me in some dress they had for some reason.

Now I could easily escape but I was curious about how this dress would look on me. Also they have set their sights on the monster trio so I will have to save them when I escape. Better to let them bring them here. They took their time dressing me up. Most dresses didn’t fit me. I sensed some envy but they didn’t pull anything strange… yet. I heard noise in the hall. They finished and let me go. I walked in and activated my Elgards eyes.

Oh, I’m quite the looker. Their taste is not that bad. Now time to save my students. Some fire mana was leaking from me, making me extra hot. But that’s unintentional as I’m pissed and doing my best to not incinerate my students.

“Huh? Agnis?”

Hey there Mo, Crissy, Hayley. Hoyt, let them go, they’re with me.

“This is impossible… a guy is prettier than me…” I don’t know why but Hayley seems to have taken emotional damage.

Hoyt couldn’t keep his eyes off me. I suppose I can start leaking more charm magic now. “Wow, it was a good idea to dress you up and what do you mean they’re with you?”

You said you wanted to fuck me, right? How about this, if you gather all your friends around to watch I will let you.

“Agnis are you crazy?!” Crissy was being held down by a random cultist.

I gestured for her to be quiet. It was time for 9t toxic trait #1: Manipulation.

“Hey, what are you waiting for! Get everyone! That Dimsha isn’t going everywhere!”

Surely but slowly, I applied charm. Hoyt was getting extremely excited.

It took 10 minutes for the hall to be filled with cultist. I walked over to Hoyt slowly and put on my best seductive voice.

Is this everyone? You’re not letting me wait are you, Hoyt?

I threw more charm magic around. Some pink energy tried to appear but I hid them with illusions. It would be apparent that I’m using charm magic if pink energy starts gathering. Hoyt nodded like a horny dog and I moved my hand over his chest.

Are you sure?

Hoyt came in action and personally checked if everyone was present. I took this time to charm every cultist in the room.

“Agnis! Please stop this isn’t worth it!” Crissy started to cry.

I walked over to her and dried her tears. Did you forget what I am?

“Yes! Everyone is here!” Hoyt was already stripping.

Good, now come here I beckoned him with my index finger and took a seductive pose. Hoyt walked over to me

You see Crissy, you have seemed to forgotten that I’m a fox. And I’m doing what foxes do best. And foxes always get what they want.

My eyes glowed pink purple and I revealed all of my tails. Every cultist was already charmed by me. I used my tails and grabbed Mo, Hayley and Crissy from the clutches of the cultists and wrapped them into a ball inside my tails, protecting them from what was to come.

Right, this world can do without Biian cultists.

The cultists broke out of the charm because I suck at charm magic but that didn’t matter. I used [Incinerate] on the whole hall.

The familiar scent of burnt flesh spread through the room. The whole room was charred black and charred bodies were littering the floor. The only things that weren’t burnt was me and my students wrapped in my tails. Also, a blue hat.

Nilah! Sword!

Nilah turned into Shirayuki and I stored her in my dimensional pocket.

I made a sexy pose. I am hot, figuratively but also literally.

Realizing that I was making a fool out of myself I covered myself and the students in 9 layers of illusions and walked away.

The staff ran over to check what had happened. I seemed to have gained 161 stacks of [Biian’s Judgement]. I tried to remove them but it was completely different from curses.

Most of my students had finished all their matches. My clones notified that the 3 that might fail the exam were a liability again so unfortunately, 3 had failed the exam.

I walked into the small hall Teppei had hired. Teppei was pacing around and mumbling something. I removed the illusions and freed the students.

“Chris!” He ran at Crissy.

“Gramps!” They had a touching reunion.

“Holy shit Agnès why do you look so hot?” I realized that while I’m like this, a female 9t, I’m irresistible to the men. I noticed that I was unconsciously leaking charm magic again. I hid my tails and ears and it mostly disappeared.

Right, ‘G’ guy, Crissy’s admirer and ehm Benny?

“It’s Ginny!”

Yes, you three, we need to talk. Old fart, give the rest the good news.

I brought the 3 to the side and explained to them why they failed. The guys kept staring at my cleavage. I didn’t mind it that much, I know that Agnès Oures is alluring. They seemed to have already realized that they have failed.

Right, I know that a lot has happened but we need to get the fuck out of here. I dropped illusion layers on everyone and we safely made it back to the university. After arriving at the uni I announced my departure.

“Why do you need to leave!” Crissy was clinging to me and crying.

Come on Crissy you’re ruining your pretty face. Teppei say something!

Teppei was being useless and doing nothing. The students tried to convince me to stay.

Look it was fun but I was only supposed to teach for half a year. You guys don’t need my lessons anymore. Those who have to retake the exams can do so without me. Also, as usual I have a target on my back, this place will turn into a warzone one day if I stay here. People come and go in your life all the time. Make sure to make it worthwhile.

Crissy was such a crybaby. I covered her in my tails which seemed to calm her down. I looked at the sorry bunch that were my students. Such a change of tone in the ambience since they had heard they had passed. Aren’t they supposed to be the same age as me?

Well, Teppei as of today I’m resigning thank you for everything

I handed Crissy over to Teppei.

“You will still be around, right?”

I looked back at Teppei. Of course, I’m not leaving without my buddies.

I walked away but tripped because walking on heels is a nightmare. Shit!
