Cumbersome Staff

 is a weapon in SINoALICE.

Weapon Story
There once was a weapon that would unleash its user's magical abilities while also amplifying certain emotions. It was called the Apprentice Staff. The reason for the name is a simple one—all of its owners had died while still engaged in apprenticeship.

There came a girl who sought the staff despite knowing its history. She needed its power. Her parents had faced a demon and, finding their power lacking, were both slain. The girl wanted revenge against the creature above all else, and so she looked for the staff.

The emotion the staff amplified for her was arrogance.

The girl became prone to showing off.

Her fellow students resented her, but she used their envy to earn a reputation.

Before long, the demon appeared before her.

With a dazzling display of magic, revenge was finally hers.

A student stood before the exhausted girl. "I hope you feel better now." The students used recovery magic on her, but the arrogant girl had little interest in the actions of others.

She did not know they'd used such magic. She would never know that the students had lost one of their own to the demon.
