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...*๐๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ค๐ฉ ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฃ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฎ... ๐๐ข๐ฏ ๐ข๐ฏ๐บ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ด๐ฆ ๐จ๐ช๐ท๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ข ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฎ๐ฏ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ต?!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
In the afternoon, after the classes was over, I went to the Academy's Laboratory as always to complete my task as Mina's own guinea pig.Even though I didn't want to, to get more information about the academy or to outside, I forced myself to endure what I was about to experience next."Why am I tied while sitting on a chair today?" My brows twitched as I looked at the damn Loli, who was sitting on her desk while holding a shiny red button, with a bitter expression.๐๐ฆ๐บ... ๐ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ถ๐จ๐ฉ๐ต ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ญ๐บ ๐ธ๐ข๐ฏ๐ต๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฅ๐ณ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฌ ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ด. ๐๐ฉ๐บ ๐ข๐ฎ ๐ ๐ต๐ช๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ข ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฅ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฎ๐ฏ ๐ค๐ฉ๐ข๐ช๐ณ!!?Although I wanted to say this, I remained silent.Wiping the red button with clean cloth, Mina ignored my question and giggled sweetly to herself... I have a bad feeling about this.Since one could easily predict what torturous will happen next, let just get straight to the point.Anyways, what I experienced was pure hell!!After enduring the torturous torture t
Waking up from my bed, I sat up and yawned before stretching my arms up. "Yawn..."[5 : 29 A.M.]Scratching my back, I stood up and went to the bathroom to wash my face and took a shower.As I was nearing the bathroom, blood came out from my nose."A Nosebleed?" I muttered.Inside the bathroom, I looked at my reflection in the mirror, while removing the blood that came out from my nose."...Why does this happen very often nowadays?" I asked myself, and took out a clean cloth that was beside my toothbrush before wiping the blood coming out my nose.These days, almost every time I woke up from sleeping, I would always notice some blood coming out my nose whenever I look at my reflection on the mirror inside the bathroom.Of course, I tried consulting to the nurses and healers who took care of me while I was out for a week, but... they would only excuse themselves by saying that the reason for my nose to bleed might be because of stress and exhaustion.Even though I don't train my body
