When I woked up, the first thing I saw in the corner of my sight was a black haired girl that had two horns on the side of her forehead, sleeping while holding my blanket.I was about to say something when the girl suddenly opened her eyes and sat up."Huum...." She let out a cute humming sound as she rubbed her eyes before stretching out her arm.It looks like she hadn't noticed me yet... Because of this, I closed my eyes to pretend that I'm still sleeping.After she was done stretching, the girl turned her attention towards me and poked my chest with her little fingers with a pout."Hey... Wake up already." The girl continued poking me on the chest, then arm, then up on my leg. This continued on until she went and decide to poke my cheeks that made me open my eyes and shove her hands off in annoyance."!!?""Stop that, will you?" I unconsciously opened my mouth to speak.The girl's pouted lips disappeared as she then crosses her arms and stared at me in complete silence.𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭?
Athena and I had a quick talk about what happened in their group before I arrived. Although I already heard every thing from Alicia, I just listened to her wholeheartedly without saying anything.Every time she opened her mouth when she was trying to say something, in my vision, I saw a faint silhouette of her with her previous life appearance.𝘈𝘴 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥, 𝘐 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦.After the long talk about what happened in the dungeon, I finally decided to change the topic by saying, "Anyways, you said earlier that you wanted to ask me something. Can I know what is it?" "Ah... There's no need for me to ask that anymore?""Hm...?""Well..." Athena started fidgeting her fingers as if she was trying hard to think of something that could shift my question to a question that was not related on my question.Sighing, I waved her off to attract her attention back to me. "Actually, there's no need for you to ans
After Arthur left both of us alone, Athena once again continued with her long sermon. This lasted a few hours, until..."As I was saying," Athena crossed her arms. "It was because of you working together with your brother that she managed to graduate college. Also, it was thanks to your recommendations, her talents got recognized by government and was later placed to the same research team you are in before you retired. If it wasn't for your help, her life wouldn't be the same as the one she had in our previous life." She took a long breather before she continued, "She felt indebted to you after seeing you do those things. Even though you weren't blood related, and even though you could have choose to escape those responsibilities, you didn't but instead chose to help them. Because of this, slowly, that girl fell in love with you." Finally finished from saying everything she wanted to say, Athena slowly lifted her head to look at me straight in the eyes to see what's my expression.B
After my katana and I finished our long talk that reached until midnight, I decided to take a rest and closed my eyes to sleep.Without much thoughts in mind, I slept peacefully and woked up with my body that was fully healed by now.The nurse who took care of me two days ago was surprised when she saw that the injuries I attained during the dungeon exploration had fully disappeared a day after I woke up.I was immediately called out to the principal's office after they found out that I was fully healed to question everything I remember back at the dungeon, and how I got that injuries from.To keep things short, of course, I made a lie telling them that I fought some monsters while I was on my way to back Arthur and the others up, and that I got injured after those monsters ganged up on me, barely managing to survive.But, even though the lie I made up was a bit detailed, the principal, Eva, gave me a long stare before saying."I'm not an idiot," She sighed. "Stop lying or I might exp
Right after the man arrived in my room, both my mother and I was taken back to the principal's office.While we were being led to the principal' office, I suddenly felt something off. My instinct kept on telling me I'm about to have a bad day.*Sigh...*𝘛𝘰𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮... 𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘢 𝘨𝘰𝘥𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵?!Contrary to what I've expected, after we reached out destination, William, Persia and the person standing in front of the door had been waiting for us.As if noticing our presence, the man turned around only to have stare at us... No, to my mother with a stiff expression."How have you been, Adam~?" My mother's bright smile made the king to pitifully shiver unconsciously, as he backed away when Celestia was only a few meters away from him only to notice me standing behind her.Adam's expression suddenly brightened after seeing me. Next, within a matter of seconds, he disappeared and reappeared behind me to hide."Save me from h
There are actually two common method of utilizing mana. These two are: enhancing body with mana (Enhancer), and emission of mana to the outside (Caster).Enhancer are the most commonly seen amongst the combatants who utilize their mana to strengthen their strength, defense and agility by enhancing their bodies with mana or magic. They are common for knight, swordsman, and other who specializes in close-combat.As for Caster, they have the ability to bend their surroundings at their will by casting a spell that gives off a certain effect on their targets or surroundings. They are commonly called as Mages and Magicians.Though, there are few rare cases that some people had the ability to use both of this method. And these people are commonly called as Battle Mages.Unlike the two common-most method when utilizing mana, Battle Mages had the ability to strengthen their bodies using mana like Enhancer and use spells like Caster.Athan, the name of the person who's body I was possessing, w
After the principal asked something about Chloe's existence, I looked at Alicia as she looked back while tilting her head, before I let out a deep sigh.*Sigh...*Thus, after a few moments, I began telling them about the whole story starting from the beginning until the end, which was when we finally got back at the mansion.Of course, unlike last time, I thoroughly explained everything on how we saw Chloe alone in a crib, and how Alicia and I came across an Onyx. They were left surprised when hearing about this, and as for my mother, she was a bit upset after learning that I didn't told her everything I know when she asked me about what happened that day.Well, I can't blame her for that.At the very least, I was lucky enough that there are few people watching us. Because if there isn't, I know that if ever we were left alone, my mother will take advantage of this and ask me some troublesome questions.Not to mention, now that Chloe had woken up from her quick slumber, when she and
Two months had passed since after the dungeon exploration. To say the least, nothing interesting happened these days. And so far, only the classes in the academy almost took up all of my remaining my time.Anyway.Random student A - "Hey... Isn't that the person who was ranked as 1st in every test and the evaluations?"Random student B - "...Yeah. Look at him with his cheeky grin."Staring at the overall ranking after combining the grades of the professors' evaluation and the integrated exam, I looked at it with a look of content.[1st Place - Athan Von Lohengramm]Naturally, I ignored the ranking numbers below me because I didn't want to waste any of my time to look at the ranking of other people since I'm already sure that they'll never be able to get past me. Fuhahah!You call me arrogant, but... so what?The only reason why they score lower than me is because that's all they can get. And, I always get 100% in test because that's all there is to get.While wearing a cheeky grin in
