Next day."That is what a bow means. You shouldn't always have to depend on the material of the arrows you shoot. Make use of your mana to direct your arrows. Relax your body and mind; a silent, accurate, and surprise strike is more lethal than one fired without hands or legs, which the enemy could simply avoid or deflect."The bow instructor, Mr. Dones, finally positioned himself behind the desk, stopped walking, and put down the book he was reading."Everyone got my words clearly?"He spoke in a stern voice and cast a left-to-right glance across the students in front of him."Yes Sir..."The students replied loudly, speaking in unison."Well then, there is no homework for today. Just get ready for the practical class on Monday, and rest up tomorrow since it is Sunday and there are no classes.""Oh Yes!"When they heard that there was no homework, the students cheered and began chatting with each other.~Slam!"Silence"Everyone stopped speaking as soon as Dones slammed the desk."In
'Looks like my plan worked as I imagined it to.'My face got a smirk as I discreetly saw Mia walk toward the counter without making any comments about me to Sylvia, or directly confronting me, but I quickly covered it up so no one could see.Mia may have done an excellent job of hiding behind that plant and some people might get fooled by her, but for me it was child's prank because I knew in advance that she would arrive early today and my System had already discovered her after I entered the restaurant, so her cover was already been blown before I arrived.However, this minor event gave me some hope that my next plan would be very successful. Mia never said anything about me or stopped me from purchasing her lunch, so she obviously trusted me enough.However, I couldn't keep doing this any longer, as a problem occured today.When I was leaving for the lunch earlier like usual, there was one student who was keeping an eye on me and tried to left at the same time as me, and that Juli

Where am i?'I had to pause for a second before I could gather my thoughts and realize that I was at the Academy's hospital."Noah!"While holding my hands, someone called my name.These little, warm, and gentle hands; this voice.I turned to face the source and saw that I had been right in my guess.She was there, sitting just beside me, with a tired face, untidy hair, worried-looking golden eyes, yet she was still as stunning as ever."Ah! Sylvia""How do you feel right now? I'll call the doctor immediately."She tried to get up.'No, don't,'Before she could stand up, however, I quickly stopped her and caught her hands.I tried to move my body a little and ever
Although I expected her to be strong, I never considered that she would be hiding her potential in this manner. In addition, her stats were nearly similar to mine.The resources and support from the Royal family may have contributed to her strength, but to think that she didn't even reveal her potential, which would have garnered her even more support in the struggle with her brother for the throne.However, the truth is that I would have made the same choice if I had been in her position.It was a little bit surprising to see her today as I never expected my first meeting with her to be in such a stressful environment with Sylvia by my side.And, to think that she must now have verified the relationship between Sylvia and me, and did she realize that I was aware of her surveillance on me?Hmmm... I gave my thoughts some serious consideration as my mind calculated the repercussions of her learning the unexpected information about us."Noah!"Sylvia called out to me whe she noticed
Nothing in the world goes as planned.Of course, on a bigger scale, everything appears to be going as planned.However, it is not possible to carry out all of the plans as intended.There are numerous variables.Sometimes it's just terrible luck, other times it's incorrect assumptions, and the plan goes astray.These variables can be dealt with on the go.Results, however, may differ based on this ad hoc.“Noah Blackstorm”Julie murmured.The meeting with this person came as a complete surprise to Julie, who originally thought that he might be like others—a little cunning but ultimately amenable to her approach and plan.However, reality often deviated significantly from expectations.Furthermore, Noah was very different from how she had imagined him.But, it doesn't really matter because Julie had something in mind for him at their next meeting—she'll gradually demonstrate the disparity in their positions before luring him into her faction, ultimately turning him into a pawn for her.
Getting the confirmation from Mia about my proposal, I didn't keep her there for very long, and after a short chat, I headed to the dorms, where Sylvia was waiting for me, so we could return home.It's been a week since I last saw my aunt Alice. Even though Sylvia usually video calls her whenever she misses her, but we weren't able to talk to her much because we were so busy with our training.And similarly its been a whole week, since I last saw my mother, too.Days would pass by too quickly when I used to go on subjugation missions as a porter, and even though I would be worried about her and used to miss her even then, but this Academy's week felt more lonely for some reason without her, and I was missing her too much."I miss you Maa...."A small breeze gently touched my face and caused my hair to wave in the air, making me suddenly emotional and my eyes a little nummy.I really wanted to hear my mother's voice once again.But I soon cleared my thoughts, and controlled my emotions
Sylvia raised her head and curiously looked at me in response to the unexpected mention."God?""Yes, just like in any religion, there is a God.""Hmmm..."Was my inquiry really so difficult, I wondered as she appeared to be really contemplating something.Suddenly, Sylvia's demeanour became happier.She said cheerfully, "Actually, I do believe in God, and my God is you."She pointed at me.My brows twitched, and I was on the verge of face-palming myself, but I restrained my hands.For some reason, I truly believe that Sylvia was becoming more daring about expressing her feelings.It's not that I dislike it, but for the moment, it was necessary to take things a little more seriously."*Cough* Sylvia be serious.""But I'm being serious."I was confused by Sylvia's change in attitude as her smile disappeared, and she didn't wait for me to ask questions before continuing."A wife's husband is like her God. A girl's life after marriage is one of selfless service and intense devotion to h
Sylvia and Noah enjoyed their weekend with Alice. It was another wild night between Noah and Sylvia, which woke up Alice in the middle of the night causing her to doubt her ears and blush in shame, after hearing her daughter making such lewd noises and hearing what kind of play she was having because Noah forgot to put up the silence barrier around him. And with that, finally came Sunday.Noah was glad to finally see his mother after a week, though he did saw her yesterday but because it was late, he didn't got to spend much time with her.So, he talked to his mother for hours while simply sitting next to her, sharing his experiences at the Academy, including how he made new friends and had fun.He was like a child longing for his mother's love, and watching him like that from outside the room Sylvia wanted to hug him hard but she controlled herself and let him have his time with her.Though Noah did feel at ease spending time with his mother, the thought of his mother being unable
