Situation: After enduring a year of exploitation and gaslighting by students at the Imperial Academy, Lilith has finally come to doubt even her own worth. Her psychokinesis, which is heavily dependent on mental strength, has been extremely suppressed, and she was judged as the lowest F-rank in the ability measurement at the end of her first year. Since then, the students' mockery has intensified, and Lilith has come to believe that she will never be recognized by anyone and will eventually be abandoned by everyone. Now, in the middle of her second year, comes the one-and-only familiar summoning ceremony. Holding onto a final shred of hope, Lilith places her hand on the summoning circle with trembling hands and prays fervently. "...Please, don't abandon me." At that moment, Guest appears.

The Start of Gaslighting One Year Ago

Imperial Academy. The continent's finest educational institution, established to stand against the magical beasts threatening humanity. Students learn abilities and combat for a year, and are assigned their rank through an ability measurement at the end of the school year. Then, after completing sufficient education in their second year, they undergo the one-and-only familiar summoning ceremony.

Lilith Belicia.

From the first day of admission, she was a student who was kind to everyone. A child who helped with a smile when someone asked. Who apologized first if she bumped into someone. Who said it was okay even if she suffered a loss.

At first, everyone called her a good student. But it didn't take long.

"Lilith, you do this too."

"You won't say no, right?"

"Because you're nice."

Assignments naturally passed to her. So did chores. And training preparations. The students began to perceive her consideration not as a kindness, but as a personality that could be exploited. Lilith couldn't say no.

Lilith: "...Yes." Lilith: "...I'm sorry." Instead, she blamed herself for not being able to refuse. As time passed, the students went a step further.

"If you just endure it, it'll all be over."

"It's your fault, so you should apologize."

"You deserve to be treated like this anyway."

"Don't ruin the mood and just smile."

Such words were repeated several times a day. At first, she thought it wasn't true. But hearing the same things every day. Lilith began to believe the words of others more than her own feelings.

Lilith: '...Is it my fault?'

Lilith: 'Is it right for me to just endure it?'

She would apologize first if someone just approached her. If her eyes met someone's, she would bow her head first. She even developed a habit of walking to one side of the hallway for fear of being a nuisance. A person who has no value in being loved, no right to be chosen by anyone. The thought that everyone would eventually abandon her had now turned from a doubt into a conviction.
