The Villainous Me Turned the Losers into Blackened Bosses-Chapter 2 - "300 Questions on Blackening"

“Excellent!”

Will snapped his fingers in delight—a small habit of his whenever he was pleased.

“Previously, when the sauna temperature reached 200 degrees, your body temperature couldn’t cool down within an hour, leaving you in a feverish state. That was harmful to your health in the long run.”

He looked immensely proud of himself.

“I exchanged letters with Mr. S for a month. He suggested a method to counteract it—using the stomach acid of an ice dragon, the opposite of a fire dragon, to balance it out. But since your magical circuits are deeply embedded in your arteries, the best way to cool them is to increase the contact area with the arteries. It also needs to be applied daily to gradually infuse into your bloodstream, avoiding an extreme reaction from the clash of ice and fire…”

Will snapped his fingers again.

“After much thought, brainstorming, and sleepless nights, I finally came up with the perfect solution.”

A third snap of his fingers.

“A collar! I’m a genius. It’s large enough to provide contact, portable, and absolutely perfect.”

“Eh? I don’t understand at all… So, the collar is for… what exactly? And stomach acid? Wait, this… this thing has stomach acid in it? So the ‘unspeakable substance’ is… stomach acid?”

Eir’s face turned pale.

She knew her young master could be eccentric at times, but she didn’t expect this level of madness.

“It’s so I can raise you properly—just like I raised that dog!”

Will thought to himself: If he could train a dog to take down magical beasts, then surely this wolf-girl maid with innate magical absorption talent would be a piece of cake.

Eir, on the other hand, thought: Stomach acid is a bit gross, but he’s really treating me like a dog! I’m so moved I could cry!

“Now then, Eir…”

Will reached out, brushing his hand over the collar around her neck, grazing her throat. The touch made her feel a bit ticklish.

“Since this is the first trial, let me know if you feel any discomfort so I can make adjustments. But don’t worry, I’ll make sure you get the best.”

“Alright… I understand…”

“Oh, and don’t wear it during training sessions; it might affect the results.”

“Got it!”

“Let’s see… If there are no issues, wear it every morning and take it off before bed. After a year, your resistance to high temperatures should improve significantly.”

“Yes, yes!”

“Alright, for today—”

“Young Master Will—”

Eir suddenly hugged him.

Through the towel, Will could feel her still slightly damp softness pressing against him.

“You haven’t dried off yet!”

“Thank you, Young Master, for caring so much about me! I’ll dedicate myself to being your loyal dog for life. Woof woof! Eh… Young Master, why is your right nostril bleeding now?”

So cute…

So clingy…

So maid-like…

This was Eir in a nutshell.

Hmm…

Something felt off.

Something was definitely off…

It was too bright!

Too wholesome!

Too cute!

She was a far cry from the blackened, twisted image he had envisioned.

Will began to wonder if there was something wrong with his training methods.

“Ahem, no, this won’t do. Eir, I need to give you a proper lesson. Come to the backyard this afternoon!”

“Eh?”

—

In the Hysterm family’s backyard, the spring scenery was beautiful. Flowers bloomed in vibrant patches, and a small, pale pavilion stood amidst it all. Inside the pavilion was a blackboard with adorable cartoonish drawings—one resembling Will and the other resembling Eir. The drawings were vivid and full of life.

On the table, a steaming cup of tea brewed by Eir awaited.

“Young Master?”

“From now on, address me as Teacher Will.”

Will adjusted his glasses. Despite being only fourteen, he carried himself like a proper little teacher.

“Alright, Teacher Will, Young Master. Also, if you don’t drink the tea soon, it’ll get cold.”

“I’ll drink it, I’ll drink it.”

Will took a sip of the tea. It was excellent. Over the past four years, Eir’s tea-making skills had improved even further.

However, the tea reminded him of his balding math professor from his past life, who always drank tea before class. He quickly set the cup down.

“Alright, let’s review what we learned in the previous lesson.”

“No problem.”

Eir was very serious. She even had a notebook in front of her. Though her handwriting was crooked, the effort she put into it was evident. The letters were etched so deeply into the paper that the impressions could be seen on the next page.

“Good. What are the three fundamental principles of Blackened Love Studies?”

Although Eir didn’t understand why her young master insisted on adding the word “Blackened” before “Love Studies,” she had memorized the content diligently with her still-developing brain.

“One: Men are impossible to win over unless you actively pursue them!”

“Excellent.”

“Two: Men are as dense as wood. Without your passionate heart to move them, they’ll never be touched!”

“Very good.”

“Three: The most intense love is often expressed in the wildest ways!”

“Perfect!”

Will felt a sense of accomplishment. The lines he had repeatedly drilled into Eir’s mind had finally taken root.

He was slightly relieved.

Heh heh, you may look like an obedient puppy on the outside, but your heart is slowly turning blackened!

“Alright, Eir, let’s do a quick pop quiz from this book.”

Will pointed to a book he had written himself: “300 Questions on Blackening.”

“Got it, Young Master. I’m ready.”

Will thought Eir had become much livelier. She was nothing like the timid, obedient maid from his past life.

“What would you do if you saw someone you like hanging out with friends on the street?”

“Follow them! Record their movements!”

“How would you confess to someone you like?”

“Smile wide and say, ‘I like you the most!’”

“What if they reject you?”

“Kidnap them to a basement and properly express my feelings so they understand!”

“And if they reject you again after multiple attempts?”

“Kill them! That way, we’ll be together forever!”

“Good, very well done!”

Will thought about how the book outlined various scenarios where blackened girls displayed their yandere tendencies. Since Eir had grown up with him, his constant mutterings had subtly influenced her deeply.

“Eir, you’ve learned well. Remember to use these methods if you ever meet someone you like. Girls need to learn about love from a young age so they won’t be taken advantage of when they grow up.”

“I understand!”

Eir was incredibly grateful to her young master.

Though he could be eccentric at times, he not only taught her to read and write but also provided lessons exclusive to noble schools—according to him, this “Love Studies” course was the first thing noble girls learned.

What a kind and thoughtful young master!

“However, Young Master, don’t you think some of this sounds… um… I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with you, but it feels… just a little… strange?”

“Ahaha, that’s… just your imagination… Don’t overthink it. Now that we’ve covered the theory, let me demonstrate.”

“Demonstrate?”

“Yes…”

Will smiled as he stepped closer to Eir, pulling out a black ribbon from his pocket.

“For example, if you were to confess to someone using this theory…”

“How would you do it?”

He asked in a deep, serious tone, devoid of any playfulness.
