"It's all your fault that I suddenly have more work to do, Fumiya!" Ryoshu exclaimed, a mix of frustration and affection in his voice.Fumiya, however, seemed completely unaware of his owner's irritation. The tiny creature continued to nuzzle and circle around Ryoshu, its actions filled with innocent and playful energy that made it impossible to stay mad for long."You're so cute that I can't even stay mad at you..." Ryoshu sighed, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips despite himself. He gently petted Fumiya, feeling the soft fur beneath his fingers, and then turned to look out the window.The view outside was serene, starkly contrasting the turmoil inside him. He thought about the morning's events, still fresh in his mind. If it weren't for Fumiya's unique ability to absorb and fuse with weapons, he wouldn't have any powerful technique to challenge Mr. Kenzo, the stern and formidable instructor.Mr. Kenzo was known for his rigorous standards and unyielding demeanor. Many stud
---0w0---In the present moment, Ryoshu found himself meticulously writing in his goal journal, contemplating his objectives for the near future. The light from his desk lamp cast a warm glow on the pages, and the soft sound of his pen scratching against the paper filled the room. He paused momentarily, admiring the bold, eye-catching title that dominated the page.**The Complete Grimoire.**This wasn't just any ordinary skill book. Unlike the common ones that dotted the world, this grimoire was said to contain every bit of knowledge that had ever existed from the dawn of the universe itself. Its vast repository of wisdom and secrets made it one of the most revered Treasures. The thought of such a tome, filled with ancient spells, forgotten lore, and the mysteries of creation, sent a thrill down Ryoshu's spine.In the world of Rainfall Disorder, Treasures are not just items; they are legendary artifacts shrouded in myth and legend, held in awe by the inhabitants of this fantastical r
"I've made up my mind," Ryoshu declared with determination. "My goal in Chapter 1 is to snatch... no, borrow! I will borrow that Complete Grimoire at any cost."The importance of this decision weighed heavily on him. Only by obtaining the grimoire could he hope to reduce the difficulty of Chapter 1 from impossible to achievable. The Complete Grimoire held the key to unlocking knowledge and power to make the challenges manageable."But... I wonder if that old blacksmith is still okay?" Ryoshu mused, his thoughts drifting to the eccentric yet kind-hearted craftsman who had helped him in the past. "And I really want to see that fat cat again. I'm curious about what kind of cat it is to be so formidable."The memory of the strange, plump cat brought a smile to his face. He recalled the moment when the cat had perched on his shoulder without him noticing at all. Its weight and presence should have been impossible to ignore, yet it moved with such stealth and grace that Ryoshu had been
"I need some fresh air..."With each step, Ryoshu walked over to the window, feeling the soft carpet under his bare feet. He reached the window and flung it wide open, allowing the crisp, cool night air to rush into the room. The sudden temperature change made him shiver slightly, but it was a welcome sensation. He rested his hands on the windowsill, feeling the smooth, excellent wood beneath his fingers. It had a slightly worn texture, a testament to the many times he had leaned on it, lost in thought. He took a deep breath, letting the refreshing breeze fill his lungs, and closed his eyes momentarily, savoring the sensation.Opening his eyes, he looked up at the moon, which hung brilliantly in the night sky, casting a silver glow over everything. The moon was full, its round face shining with an almost supernatural brightness, illuminating the landscape with a soft, ethereal light. The stars twinkled more brightly around it as if they were drawing attention to the moon's magnifice
Renggg…The bell's resonant sound began to ring, breaking the serene silence that had enveloped the area. It was a crisp, clear tone that echoed through the surroundings, signaling the end of a quiet moment. As the sound reverberated, a late summer breeze swept through the trees, causing the crimson leaves to dance before gently drifting to the ground. The delicate cherry blossoms, caught in the wind, fluttered down like soft pink snowflakes, creating an enchanting and poetic scene that seemed almost otherworldly.A young girl with silky white hair strolled leisurely down the path, a path she knew she would come to walk many more times in the future. Her steps were slow and deliberate, as if trying to soak in every detail of her surroundings. The air was filled with the sweet, faint scent of cherry blossoms, mingling with the earthy aroma of fallen leaves. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over everything, making the entire scene look like a painting brought to life.Shimmering like
The exam had barely concluded, yet Charlotte and Katia were already waiting in their usual spot under the giant oak tree near the entrance of the school courtyard. The spot was their favorite, providing a mix of shade and comfort, making it a perfect rendezvous point. Esther noticed them immediately as she exited the examination hall, her heart warming at the sight of her two best friends already there as if they had eagerly anticipated her arrival."Shall I go say hello?" Esther pondered momentarily, a small, mischievous smile playing on her lips. She could never resist the urge to greet her friends in the most cheerful way possible. With a newfound energy, she decided to make her way towards them. Her steps were light and quick, and she waved energetically, her hand high to catch their attention."Halloo~" she called out, her voice carrying a musical lilt that echoed through the courtyard. This was her warmest and most affectionate greeting, one she reserved exclusively for Charl
"You're good at ending conversations, aren't you?" Charlotte's tone was sharp, her frustration evident. It was clear she was not in a good mood. Her ordinarily cheerful demeanor had been replaced by an edge that made Esther wince inwardly.Esther felt a pang of guilt. She hadn't meant to upset Charlotte, and seeing her friend this way made her feel awful. Desperate to fix things, she quickly seized the opportunity to keep the conversation going."But Esther—" Charlotte began again, her voice softer this time, almost as if she regretted snapping.Sensing a glimmer of hope, Esther eagerly asked, "What's up?" She leaned in slightly, trying to show Charlotte she was all ears and genuinely concerned.Charlotte hesitated, her eyes darting around the bustling corridor. The hallway was packed with students milling about, searching for their room numbers, and collecting their keys. It wasn't the best place for a private conversation, and the noise added to her discomfort. "Well, it's just th
"Now, I must push myself harder to catch up with Haruki and Charlotte! I can't afford to rest on my laurels just because I secured the top spot in the entrance exam!" she resolved, feeling a surge of determination. She stood by her window, gazing at the horizon as the sun set, casting a golden glow over the academy grounds. With its towering spires and sprawling courtyards, this place had become her new world, where every day was a test of her abilities and resilience.The memory of the exam still lingered in her mind. The grueling hours spent pouring over books, the sleepless nights practicing spells and techniques, all leading to that moment when her name was announced as the top scorer. It had been a moment of triumph, a validation of her hard work. But now, standing at the brink of a new challenge, she knew it wasn't enough. The competition was fierce, and she couldn't afford to be complacent."But the title of Star Student definitely won't be mine anymore," she muttered to hers
