13. Slow learning turtle (3)
In general, corporal punishment is not good for education.
This is because corporal punishment intensifies the victim’s aggression and leads to far-reaching abuse.
However, even though I know the reason why.
I had to hit the honey chestnut on Bluebell’s head.
“Come on! Why should I study! No! I will not! Get out of here you idiot!”
“For a young lady of a marquis family, she has a rough mouth.”
Kang-!
I put honey chestnuts on Bluebell’s head.
Bluebell grabbed his forehead and glared at me with a grin.
“When, don’t hit me! Why are you hitting me? What are you doing hitting me on the head! You, you son of a b*tch!”
Bluebell got angry and threw her fist at her.
It’s a bad fist that’s pretty rough and driven by emotion.
I lightly dodged Bluebell’s attack, grabbed her arm and sat her in her chair.
“Ah!”
“The behavior is also rough. I hope you don’t do useless resistance.”
“Mister, Mr.… I don’t want to study even if I die! I will not! And you! You will make me regret hitting me!”
“How?”
“I’m going to tell the social world that you forcibly touched my body!! You’re behind!”
I already learned bad things at a young age.
When rumors start to circulate in the social world, the rumors grow out of control.
That’s a pretty embarrassing thing from my point of view.
However, I have my goals.
It doesn’t matter if you can achieve ‘regeneration’.
I slowly raised my hand into the air.
“Lady Bluebell.”
“M, what!”
“You seem to have no desire to study yet.”
Recognize-!
In my words, Blue Bell closed her eyes and took from her preparations to be hit.
Learned Fear.
She was already afraid of the night.
‘Your learning ability isn’t bad. Please, I just want you to study.’
But.
If you’re the kind of person who listens to me so easily, you wouldn’t have become a villainess.
I didn’t hit Bluebell, I went back to the blackboard and opened her book.
“You can spread the word in the social world.”
“… What?”
“As long as Lady Bluebell is studying, it’s okay to spread rumors.”
“Gee, really? Am i asking? Damian of the Sinclair family tried to rape me? Rumors for real?!”
“Yes, do whatever you want. However, the responsibility is on you.”
Marquis Irten will not be involved in the young lady’s actions.
Blue Bell was taken aback by my words, and she averted my gaze.
Looking at the atmosphere, it seemed that he would never spread rumors about me because he was afraid.
“Then, let’s continue the lesson.”
“… Yes, do as you please.”
“By the way, Young lady is attending class today. You cannot go outside until you pass the test.”
Because there is a difference between taking a class and participating.
Bluebell said she didn’t just take classes, she had to put them in her head.
“No! Let’s go! I will not!”
Of course, the response was not good.
As I approached with my fists clenched, I quickly stopped resisting.
‘Isn’t it too much? The things I raised need to be right before I can come to my senses.’
As expected, my theory was not wrong.
Of course, Bluebell is a theory that only applies to the wicked woman.
‘Bluebell’s acquired personality, which was too bad, will gradually fade.’
Well, anyway.
Thanks to Bluebell’s proper cooperation, I was able to spend a happy and enjoyable class time together.
***
By the time Bluebell had failed her test about 10 times.
“Didn’t I say no? Get out of the way!!”
Clang-!!
Bluebell broke her window with a chair and ran outside.
Still, she lasted longer than I expected.
It wasn’t a bad result.
“I expected up to 5 times. I was more patient than I thought.”
Maybe it’s not because of my patience, but because of my nighttime fears.
I injected a bit of history into my head, but it will have a bigger effect when I review it later.
As I watched Bluebell run away in her bare feet through her broken window, there was a human approaching behind me.
“Kheum, how was my daughter’s class… ?”
Unlike Bluebell, it was Marquis Irten who was thick.
I showed him her bluebell test paper and answered honestly.
“It sucks. It was difficult for a 12-year-old to see.”
“I see… It’s because I raised Bluebell too much… “
“I couldn’t acquire common sense and knowledge suitable for my age. If things go the way they are, there is a high chance that she will become an asshole.”
“… You stab my heart with a knife, yes.”
Marquis Irten frowned as if he was in pain.
It’s difficult for anyone to face her own wrong past.
Still, we must correct Bluebell’s problematic behavior before it’s too late.
If Irten is Bluebell’s parent, she should.
“Fortunately, Lady Bluebell’s hair is not as bad as I thought. Look at this.”
I showed Irten her bluebell’s 7th exam paper.
“Answer 5 questions. Fits a lot more than I thought. This is commendable.”
“Shouldn’t you pass 7 questions correctly? But why do you say you did well? Didn’t you pass?”
Irten said as if he sincerely did not understand.
He, like me, was a person whose results were important.
However, you can never correct the problem behavior.
“It’s a bit like saying this, but. I think you did a good job with Young Ae’s hair. She deserves her praise for her low concentration.”
“What, what are you talking about, Damian Youngsik! Even though my daughter is dumb, she has a good personality!”
Is that so?
“Your personality is good… The broken window over there is invisible to her marquis?”
“Isn’t it possible that people get angry… “
“Haa-“
It’s a start again.
What should I do with that crazy daughter-in-law?
I took Irten to her window and showed her outside.
Blue Bell was venting her anger at the servants outside, as if she had accumulated a lot of stress.
“Lady Bluebell is good at kicking people in the shin. Art. Unlearned, but he knows how to bully people effectively.”
“… That’s a joke.”
“The expression of the workers is no joke.”
“… “
Irten doesn’t say anything.
I looked at his face and said.
He seemed to need some time to think.
“Please, when Bluebell is left alone. I hope you think carefully about what kind of look she would like to be. Well then.”
“Wait a minute!”
Tak-
Irten grabbed my shoulder as I was about to leave.
The expression on his face was unusual.
“… Hey, do you know what you’re talking about?”
I replied while maintaining a calm expression.
“What do you mean?”
“… No, it’s nothing thank you for the class just go away I wait… I will stay in class.”
Irten looked at the broken window, and she began to stare at it, perhaps deep in thought.
I left Irten in the classroom and left to take a break.
Unfortunately, his future was a fixed future that I could not change.
‘… The future I can change is limited. I can’t help it.’
Parents want to see their daughter’s happiness in their eyes before they leave the world.
That’s why Irten doesn’t get too involved in Bluebell’s behavior.
I can’t understand his confused mind with my heart, but I can fully understand with my head.
However, understanding doesn’t change anything.
I had no choice but to act coldly and according to plan.
***
A hot summer last month.
The period family’s daily life was not very special.
Is it because the Verdium family has already seen Hell?
I didn’t feel that living with the villainess Bluebell was particularly difficult.
“Hey, it’s hard… can’t stop… ?”
“No. Go ahead and solve the problem.”
During Blue Bell’s class, he makes her study hard.
And, after class, I follow her to see if she is causing any problem behavior.
What if Bluebell tried to play a prank on the employee?
“Lady Bluebell. Excuse me for a moment.”
“Ah!”
Shoulder bread.
I play with Bluebell first.
Then Bluebell, who fell to her floor, shouts angrily.
“Why are you suddenly beating me up!”
“Be careful with your language.”
KANG-
If you use profanity, you’ll have a good night.
“Mister, Mr.… “
“Mr.”
“Annoying… So why are you hitting me… “
“The young lady was trying to play a joke. I was kidding too. How are you feeling?”
“… It looks like a beggar.”
Reverse branch.
The fact that her pranks can be a nuisance to others.
I used to tell them with my body by making them actually experience it.
It was because Bluebell couldn’t understand it with words anyway.
***
In class.
Bluebell sat in her chair and listened to her class, when she suddenly started shouting.
“Annoying-! It’s annoying-!! I hate studying-!! Why are you suddenly sitting in our mansion and making a fuss!”
“Because I am Young Ae’s teacher.”
“So when will it go off-!!”
KANG-
“… So, when are you leaving?”
“Until it is enough for the young lady to be alone.”
“What do you mean by that? I can be alone, can I live enough without you? So go fast I have nothing to learn.”
“As a genius, I always want to learn something, but Young Ae has nothing to learn. I really envy you.”
“… Do you keep crying? It’s the same age as that, but when are you going to let go?”
Tuk Tuk-
Bluebell tapped the desk with a pencil, as if it was uncomfortable for me not to speak casually.
‘Short language means a sense of distance.’
If you speak casually, you may feel a sense of familiarity through your subconscious.
Me and Bluebell are always master and disciple.
Since I learned something from Nadia, I calmly refused Bluebell’s words.
“I don’t like it.”
“Why!”
“I am a teacher, and Bluebell is a student.”
“Annoying!”
“I can’t help it. More than that, did you write down everything I said?”
“Did you watch it on your own?”
Tak-
Bluebell threw the paper with the handwriting on the desk without hesitation.
‘Shall we hit honey chestnuts?’
I thought so, but I held back my anger and checked Bluebell’s handwriting.
‘Hmm.’
There, the rules and laws regarding family succession were well documented.
It took me 3 hours to get it figured out, but not bad for a slow bluebell.
“Not bad.”
As problem behaviors are corrected through punishment, people are gradually changing.
This is good news.
I put my hand on her head to praise her.
But, contrary to my expectations, Bluebell closed her eyes, as if she hadn’t expected praise at all.
“… What are you doing, young lady?”
“N, you’re going to hit me again. If you close your eyes, you can be hit without pain!”
Learned Fear!
Bluebell is shaking his head as he prepares to be hit.
I put her hand lightly on her head to calm her down.
“… Uh?”
At that warm gesture, Bluebell asked curiously.
“Why don’t you hit me… ? Damian, you beat me day and night.”
“If others hear it, they misunderstand it. And, if you did well, I will praise you, but I will not beat you up.”
“… Okay? Then praise more. Because i did good People who do well are praised, right?”
Like a child hungry for her compliments, Bluebell ordered me to stroke more.
She seemed in a good mood, probably because of her simple personality.
“This isn’t bad, good. Do more next time.”
“I’ll do it if you do well.”
“Hey, do whatever you want. But, I have a question.”
“Something.”
“Why don’t you quit like other teachers? Did I say harsh words and try to hit you?”
“That… “
If you don’t learn anything, are you going to get bored and raise the estate tax to 90%?
If she does not rehabilitate, the tax bomb is basic and she even exploits labor.
Just because bullying is fun.
I reciprocated Blue Bell’s expectations while hiding her true intentions.
“If you say harsh words, you can hit Kkulbam, and you will never be hit by the young lady’s fist.”
“… You’re annoying just disappear quickly I don’t need a teacher.”
Bluebell seems disappointed with my answer.
‘Now that I have had enough rest, I can move on to the next progress. I have to raise it to the level of passing the academy exam.’
The moment I was convinced that since Bluebell’s condition wasn’t too bad today, I should go further.
Kwaang-!!
The door opened violently and the maid Susan appeared.
“Boo, Miss Bluebell! Fast, fast!! It’s an emergency!! Of course, the doctor has to go first!!”
“Keep calm, Susan.”
Susan took her quick breath and said,
“This, Lord Irten!! You suddenly lost your mind!!”
“… What?”
It’s been a month since I came here.
Two months including the delayed time at Vertium.
‘The Marquis Irten is a hot summer time. Lose consciousness and fall Starting with that, the life of the villainess Bluebell began to twist.
As written in the novel, Marquis Irten collapsed.
And then, Blue Bell’s face in her reality turned pale.
“Ah, Dad-!!”
Through this process several times, Bluebell slowly becomes alone.
Without the strength to stand alone.
Unable to move in an upside-down state, it becomes like a struggling turtle.
This was a predetermined future that could not be stopped at all costs.
