She reincarnated as the daughter of the major villain, Potimas!
Kanami Okazaki, also known as the elf teacher. She was the only adult among the 26 reincarnators. Although she had the elven name "Filimøs," most people affectionately called her "Oka-sensei."
Frankly, among all the reincarnators, the teacher's life was arguably one of the most tragic, second only to Oni-kun, who was reincarnated as a goblin.
Although she appeared in the anime as a graceful elf, if Kumoko hadn't secretly protected her, she probably wouldn't have even survived until the beginning of the human arc, having faced multiple mental breakdowns.
This was because the final boss, Potimas, was a member of the "elf race." In other words, the teacher was reincarnated into the villain's camp; one can only imagine how difficult her fate would be.
From the very beginning, she was hunted, deceived, and used. Her life never seemed to be truly in her own hands. It wasn't until the protagonist (Kumoko/Shiraori) "awakened" her in a "dream" that she realized she might have taken the wrong path.
As a reincarnator, the teacher possessed the exclusive ability [Student Roster]. Most of these reincarnators were her students from her previous life. With this ability, she could clearly see a portion of all the reincarnators' statuses, and even glimpse their past, present, and future.
Upon seeing that most of her students would die within twenty years, the teacher became frantic. She begged her father, Potimas, and managed to bring her students to the "Elf Village," believing it was her responsibility as a teacher to protect these children.
However, having just been born into this other world, she didn't know that her own father, Potimas, was an extremely sinister individual.
All her efforts became mere tools in his hands. And her actions of forcibly taking her students away to "protect" them, because she couldn't explain the real reasons, eventually created an irreparable rift between her and her students.
Was her "protection" truly correct? This kind of behavior, ignoring her students' wishes and acting solely on her own self-righteousness, was just stubbornness disguised as good intentions.
Her problem wasn't seeking help from Potimas at the beginning at that time, she was indeed too weak and needed to rely on others' strength.
It was that later, even when she vaguely sensed her father's true nature, she still didn't stop, stubbornly continuing down the wrong path. By the time she finally confirmed Potimas's true nature, there was no turning back.
Elliot felt sorry for the teacher's situation. If the story developed as it originally did, she would eventually become Kumoko's enemy.
If she were just an ordinary elf, it might be different, but she was Potimas's biological daughter, which completely changed things.
Potimas was one of the major power players in this world, with incredibly strong paper stats. With Elliot's current abilities, he couldn't yet confront him head-on.
The reincarnators possessed combat power far exceeding ordinary people. If he could bring them under his command, they would be a huge asset, whether for fighting the elves later or resisting the Demon Lord.
In the original story, Kumoko recruited 8 reincarnators, including Sophia. If they wanted to fight strong enemies, they had to form their own team. No matter how strong an individual was, cooperation was still needed.
Besides, both Elliot and Kumoko now possessed "Gnosis." As divine beings, doing everything themselves would be rather unbecoming.
"26 reincarnators..." Elliot mused. Unlike the teacher, he didn't have a [Student Roster] and couldn't know the exact locations of the other reincarnators.
Among these 26, several had already met unfortunate ends. One even reincarnated as a chicken and was eventually eaten as food arguably the most tragic fate.
In the original story, this classmate wasn't even named, nor recorded in the [Student Roster].
Since he would need elite subordinates in the future, Elliot decided to take advantage of the currently stable situation to gather as many reincarnators as possible, preventing Potimas from getting to them first.
Even if they weren't reincarnators, he still needed loyal followers to handle various troublesome matters for him.
Lost in thought, Elliot and Kumoko walked side-by-side deeper into the "Forest Nation."
Soon, they reached a barren area in the inner circle. Kumoko looked at the forest full of withered branches and couldn't help but grumble, "There's hardly any fruit here."
….
Forest Nation, inner circle.
"It's... an apple!"
"I can't let anyone else see it! I have to take it home quickly."
A little girl, about eleven or twelve years old, looked up at an apple on a tree, preparing to climb up and pick it.
She was small and thin, wearing faded, worn-out linen clothes. From her pointed ears and deep purple eyes, one could tell she was an elven girl.
Her silver hair, long enough to reach her waist, was carefully braided into a simple style. Her features were delicate and soft, possessing both a youthful innocence and a stunning beauty.
Her eyebrows were like distant green hills, her skin as flawless as white snow. She looked like an ethereal elf princess, making people stop and stare.
However, this innate charm didn't bring her respect. Among the elves, she was an outcast. Because she wasn't a pureblood.
Her name was Emilia, a half-elf girl. Although elven blood flowed in her veins, the other half was human.
Because of this, she had been considered impure since birth, subjected to the scorn and exclusion of her own kind.
What troubled her even more was a faint beauty mark just below her clear, autumn-water-like eyes.
Among humans, such a mark was a symbol of beauty, something to be admired. But to the elves, who prized purity and flawlessness, it was a "blemish," even repulsive.
Therefore, Emilia had been exiled to this resource-poor area since she was little, left to fend for herself.
Although the Forest Nation was vast, she was strictly confined to this zone. It was said that this area was where a powerful magical beast had fallen long ago.
Its decaying remains had turned into an acidic swamp, causing the nearby plants to wither and fruit to become increasingly scarce.
Emilia carefully climbed onto a branch and picked the apple. It was a shriveled fruit, with little moisture left, and not very appealing in appearance.
But she was still overjoyed. Since birth, she had eaten apples only a handful of times. The last time was ten years ago.
Her mouth almost watered, but she couldn't bear to eat it now. She planned to take it back to her hidden tree hollow and savor it in her own private corner. There, there was no ridicule, no insults, only a quiet world belonging to her alone.
"Time to go home." Just as she was about to climb down, she heard footsteps.
Her greatest fear had come true. Those pureblood elves who often bullied her were here!
