Are you worthy of saving the world?

Yuri continued calmly, “All I did was write the title ‘Master-Servant Contract’ in bold letters at the top. That’s all.

The first clause of the contract states that our relationship from now on will be that of a master and a servant.

The black-haired boy began to recite the entire text.

"1. Stella voluntarily gives up her human rights. From now on, her relationship with Ulysses Falchion is defined as a "master-servant relationship."

"Second, Stella voluntarily obeys all orders of Ulysses Falchion and must not do anything to harm the master."

"Third, Stella voluntarily provides free labor services to Ulysses Falchion in exchange for the master's intelligence support."

"Fourth, Stella voluntarily refrains from participating in any union activities and voluntarily gives up social security, annual leave, and paid vacation."

"Five, Stella can come to the table to eat..."

"!?!?"

As Yuli read out the clauses one by one, Stella's face became more and more embarrassed.

"Stop talking nonsense! How could I possibly sign something as stupid as this? Tell me! What did you do?!"

Yuli, who was grabbed by the collar, spoke calmly with an expressionless face.

"Miss Stella, you can't read at all?"

016 The Girl's Secret

Stella has a secret that she keeps deep inside.

She was born with the ability to use magic.

Generally speaking, mastering a magic requires long learning and hard training, and it is a world completely out of reach for ordinary people.

Stella, who grew up as an orphan in a country monastery, had never received any education, but she learned magic without any guidance at the age of six.

Even a six-year-old can understand that this is a very remarkable thing.

However, when she excitedly showed the flame on her fingertips to the nun, she was scolded more harshly than ever before.

The old nun forbade her to use, practice, or demonstrate magic, and required her to forever keep the secret that she was born with magical powers.

When Stella was young, she felt very aggrieved. It was not until she grew up that she finally understood the old nun's painstaking efforts.

In this world, there exists a group of people who can master magic without any learning.

They are called witches.

Magic did not exist at the beginning of the world, but was born in a disaster two thousand years ago.

The culprit behind the catastrophe was a group of beings called witches.

According to the standards of magicians in later generations, they not only possess the strongest magic power, but also dominate the laws of chaos that govern everything in the universe.

All magic, whether it is the original magic created by the witch or the latest and most powerful modern magic——

Even the future magic that exists thousands of years later...

Any magic from the past, present, and future will be automatically updated and added to the Witch's Index the moment it is created.

The great disaster that nearly destroyed the world two thousand years ago - the Witch War ended with all the witches being wiped out.

Although the evil witches disappeared, the magic and enchantment they brought continued to remain in the world.

People were initially very frightened of this terrible force that almost destroyed the world.

However, as their understanding deepened, some people discovered that magic and magic were not as dangerous as they had imagined, but a technology that could be used effectively.

They were the people who were later called magicians.

At the beginning, the Tenli Church took a tough stance and judged magic as an evil existence, launching dozens of crackdowns on magicians at the time.

Although the Holy See has overwhelming power and authority, it is unable to prevent the spread of magic technology on the continent.

This is because since the Great Catastrophe, everyone living in this world has gained magic power to a greater or lesser extent, even the most devout monks are no exception.

Denying the magic that has coexisted harmoniously with the human body is anti-human in itself, just like denying the meaning of reproduction.

After hundreds of years of struggle with blood and tears by magicians, the Vatican finally recognized the legality of magic.

In modern times, even in the three major countries that believe in Tenrikyo, magic has penetrated into every aspect of people's lives.

However, witches are an exception.

The only topic that cannot be touched is witches.

Witches are the origin of magic and also the pinnacle of magic.

Witches who are born with the ability to use magic are not only regarded by the church as great evils that must be eradicated, but are also rejected by modern magicians as stains on the great history of magic.

Stella is obviously a descendant of a witch.

The techniques that magicians took years or even decades to master, she acquired easily just by growing older.

But on the other hand, the girl has become a harmful object that will be dealt with as soon as her identity is exposed.

The nun in the convent during her childhood was a kind old lady. She did not report Stella in order to show her piety to the church. Instead, she concealed her secret and gave the girl a place to stay.

Stella also abided by the agreement with the nun and kept the secret for the past ten years, even from her family.

She disguised herself as a second-level magician, although she was able to use some fifth-level magic when she was fifteen years old.

The so-called witches are beings into which the laws of chaos will automatically flow, even if they hate or resist them.

After the nun died, no one knew Stella's secret anymore.

In addition to the big secret of her identity as a witch, she actually has a little secret.

Just can't read.

There is no condition to teach cultural courses in the country monastery, so it is enough for the children here to learn how to write their own names.

Stella doesn't need to be literate either.

After all, the witch is knowledge itself.

The magic that those well-versed scholars have spent their entire lives pursuing is now within the reach of an illiterate country girl like her.

Sometimes the girl even thinks that it wouldn’t be bad if she were a witch.

This is the witch. Life is so easy and relaxing. I just want to ask you if you have such a simple life mode~

Stella also thought about learning to read, but she didn't seem to be good at self-study, and it was obviously impossible to find another teacher.

It is very strange that an illiterate 16-year-old girl is a skilled second-level magician, and she will definitely be suspected.

So she could only endure the occasional inconveniences in life and maintain her illiterate status quo.

When I meet the witch's companion, I'll ask her to teach me how to read, Stella thought.

She always pretended to be well-educated and even subscribed to a newspaper.

This is partly to keep the witch's secret, but there is another more important reason -

Because of face.

Because being illiterate is so embarrassing!!!

So today when Yuli handed the contract to Stella, she clearly couldn't understand even a single punctuation mark, but she still signed it anyway.

Because of face.

Because being illiterate is so embarrassing!!!

Exposing my identity as a witch is a small matter, but if this arrogant and conceited brat finds out that I can’t read...guwuwuwuwu!

However, she didn't know that this contract was proof of her slave's willingness to accept the arrogant and stinking brat as her master.

"Woo woo...who said I can't read!"

Still talking hard.

Stella: "You, you, who are you calling an illiterate country girl!"

Yuli: “I haven’t said anything yet.”

Stella's cheeks flushed, and she became angry and embarrassed: "I was deceived by you and became your slave, and I also let you discover my most important secret...

That’s enough! Now I have no choice but to kill you!”

The silver-haired girl shouted as a ball of crimson fire burst out from her palm.

Yuri remained calm: "If you do that, you will go down in history as the great sinner who murdered the Savior...

No, before you kill me, you will explode yourself for trying to violate the contract."

Stella gritted her teeth: “Stop talking nonsense! I’m going to explode with you!”

"I won't treat you unfairly," said Yuli.

"For the time being, I am also the son of prophecy that everyone is looking at. I will not mistreat slaves and ruin my reputation."

"Who cares about you!"

"Are you not going to look for your family anymore?"

"Do you think I will believe your lies again?"

Hearing this, the boy looked apologetic and said, “I’m sorry, I really didn’t expect you to be so angry.

If I have offended you in any way, please let me make it up to you."

"You offend me in every way!!!"

Yuri: "As compensation, I will add a special service to our contract."

Stella: "Who wants your service? I will die with you now! Explode! Child of prophecy!"

The silver-haired girl roared and swung her hand wrapped in red flames towards the boy's head.

However, just when her fingertips were about to touch the other person,

"I can teach you to read."

Yuli's words suddenly made the witch's fierce claws hang in the air.
