I, Who Was Dismissed as Worthless Failure by my Family and Fiancée, Discovered I had Reincarnated as a Game Character I Raised with Great Care and Vowed to Take Control of my Life and Defy Anyone who Opposes Me. - Chapter 32: I'll Torture You to Death

Chapter 32: I’ll Torture You to Death

“Okay. Once Douglas has fully recovered, shall we proceed with the duel?”

“I’ll make sure to kill you for sure.”

“Since Douglas has given us his consent, let’s begin. Excuse me, Old Lady, what kind of recovery magic are you doing? If you’re not motivated, you’re just getting in the way, so move aside.”

“Ha, how dare you speak to me like that?!”

“Alright, alright, let’s not argue. Now move aside, hmm? What? Can’t you hear me?”

“Hii—?”

I then told my mother, who was still lazily casting recovery magic on my younger brother, Douglas, to step back. She tried to bite me, so I sent out a little killing intent to shut her up. 

Once things quieted down, I used Light magic, level 3 [Healing Light], to restore the damage I had inflicted on Douglas by punching him.

Using Light Magic to heal, rather than Water Magic, typically used for recovery magic, was a surprise to Mother, who had a complex about not being able to use Light magic, despite being known as the healing goddess of the empire in the past.

I hoped she would be pleased with my surprise, but when I looked at her, she was biting her lips so hard that blood was dripping.

“Hey, are you going to sit on the ground all day? I went through the trouble of using my magic to restore a worthless creature like you before the duel, so get ready already. You’re seriously useless.”

“Gugigigi! Shut up!! It’s your fault for launching a surprise attack in the first place!”

“What? It wasn’t me who launched the surprise attack. It was you. You can’t expect to get away with initiating an attack and then crying foul when you get counterattacked. You’re not just useless but actually a fool, aren’t you?”

As if releasing all the pent-up frustration until now, I throw almost Douglas’ exact words back. However, it would be rude to continue this farce any longer with the aristocrats who have come as guests, so we quickly decided to start the duel to determine the inheritor of the Kvist family. 

“I’ll definitely crush you. Don’t think it’s over yet. After this, I’ll lock you up in the basement and make you suffer until you die!”

“Great, little brother. You look ready. Let’s begin.”

As we reached the center of the training ground, we exchanged insults disguised as pre-match greetings before starting the duel.

When we heard the explosive magic signal from our butler, Sebas, I saw my brother’s magic sword emit light. Apparently, he was about to cast some kind of magic.
