A couple of minutes had passed since after I saw the letter that was placed behind my Adventurer's ID. Without much thoughts, I continued on with my training silently. Using my left, I clutched the sword tight. While on my right, I tightened my grip and aimed my sword directly at the middle.I strengthened my left, then used my right hand to guide the direction of where my slashes will be."Haaaa!"With a fast and swift cut, the dummy in front of me got sliced cleanly in half, as it's upper-part slowly slide towards the corner to the right before falling to the ground.Letting out a long breath, I once again fixed my stance before aiming my sword to the once-fallen dummy in front of me. It was slowly starting to recover.I continued this training again for a couple of minutes until Cossette's class was over. Then, sat down to the bench to rest.๐๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ด๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ข ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ช๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฅ๐ฐ ๐ช๐ต ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ธ... I thought. ๐๐ถ๐ต ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ? ๐๐ง ๐ฏ๐ฐ
A day had passed since after I met up with the Principal. I'm currently making my way downtown once again to meet up with Sophia.After reaching the expensive looking restaurant, I surveyed the whole place to look for her. "Now, where is she?" I wondered. Then, my gaze fell on the masked-lady that was inside the VIP area.I walked up to the door, but some guards stopped me after I was only a few meters on reaching it."This is the VIP area, kiddo," The guard spoke. "Anyone who doesn't have any reservations here can't enter inside this area."Hearing this, I took out an ticket inside my [Pocket Ring], then showed it to him. He then took it from my hand lightly before starting to examine it.After he's done, the guard turned around and nodded to his companions, who slowly opened the door for me.๐๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ: ๐๐ฆ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ช๐ข'๐ด ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ ๐ช๐ด ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ณ๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐จ...I shook my head and went inside the area without changing my indifference expression. Sophia noticed me entering
After Sophia got home, she went ahead and placed the suitcase on the table. When she was about to close the door on her back, her legs suddenly gave out.-Thud!"I can't feel them..." Sophia murmured to herself. After touching her lap with her fingers, she noticed that it was shaking."St-stop shaking!" She shook her legs, but it didn't listen. After waiting for a few minutes, she finally git tired of it and decided to drag herself towards the door to close it.When she's done, Sophia slumped her back to the wall to try and calm herself down. But, all she could think about was what happened earlier.Seeing the darkness covered the whole body of the boy, she suddenly felt a new emotion steering out inside her.Although she had managed to hide this new profound emotions up until she got back to her room, it seems like her legs finally gave out after what she just experienced.Sophia didn't know what it was since it is the first time she felt this, but she knew that if someone where to re

I'll probably try and live similar from my previous life where I became a shut-in."

I asked.[[๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ต'๐ด ๐ค๐ณ๐ช๐ต๐ช๐ด๐ฎ, ๐๐ฅ๐ช๐ฐ๐ต.]]I was about say something else when suddenly, I heard a loud sound coming from the top, just on the second floor building behind me....Isn't that Sophia's room?With that realization, I promptly stood up and used the bench to hop on."Hup!"Thankfully, the window seemed to be open. As soon as I was only a few meters away from her window, I folded my body sim
After I woke up, I immediately went straight to the bathroom and took a shower. When that's done, I went up to check on Sophia if she was now feeling okay after what happened yesterday."Sophia...?" I knocked on the door lightly, and then waited for a couple of seconds for her reply. But after awhile, I didn't get an answer, so I decided to use my dark magic to open the door on the other side.๐๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฑ, ๐ด๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ข๐ด ๐ด๐ต๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ด๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ. I thought to myself. Looking around the room for a few minutes, I then went to the kitchen to grab something for her to eat after waking up.But..."This are all uncooked ingredients..." I took some vegetables from the cabinet and began examining them one by one."Is she perhaps a vegetarian?" I pondered. But after recalling about our first meeting and her eating steak, I dropped those thoughts.Cracking my fingers and preparing every ingredients to the table, I began cooking.๐๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ข๐บ๐ด ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ถ: ๐๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ง๐ข๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ด ๐ท๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ๐ต๐ข?
For the past few weeks, nothing noteworthy happened. So far, only the classes in the academy almost took up all of my remaining my time. If I didn't include my special training with Cossette that started three weeks ago.While walking alone at the dormitory' hallway, I've stumbled across Leo, who was also walking around alone.He probably had noticed my presence since he lifted up his head and stopped walking. "Oh... Is there anything you want, Young Master." He asked me casually."Oh, please. Stop with the 'Young Master' thingy and just call me Athan," I spoke. "Anyways, how was the plan coming along? The dungeon exploration should be happening tomorrow morning. If something happens while I'm out, just remember to protect those people on the pictures I gave you a week ago." I pointed my fingers on to his pocket with a small smile. Leo just shook his head, slightly raised his glasses properly before nodding."Athan, what you said is indeed correct," he said before yawning casually, "A
[A/N : I would like to apologize for the delay chapters. Since the only left to do right now is to finish my remaining projects and review for the exam that'll happen in just a few weeks, or probably month, I would probably have enough free time that I could use to focus on writing new chapters.]"A dream?" My eyes opened up wide open as I slowly raise my body up to take a sit on the bed. "It has truly been a long time since when I first dreamed of this." I muttered to myself.I then rubbed the back of my head while letting out a yawn. Soon, I stood up and went quickly to the bathroom to take a quick bath.When I got out, I heard a knocking sound coming from the door, as a feminine voice later called out my name."Sir Athan, Miss Cossette ordered me to pick you up to guide you back to the entrance," She said. "Also, everything else was already packed and you're the only person they're waiting for."Hearing this, I fastened my pace and put on my uniform before replying, "I'll be there
An hour later.Every group had decided to split up, while also trying to get to know each other. Like some people say, 'Communications and trust is the vital in team-fights'. Almost similar to what we're currently doing."I elected Athan to be the leader." The first one to speak up in our group was Reymond.That's right. Although we had already decided our group a couple of weeks ago, we still haven't yet decided who our leader will be."I also vote for Athan!" Xavier spoke, raising a flag with my face in it up.... Question, where did he got those from anyway?"I'll pass. I think Aries should do it." I spoke up, ignoring their comments from earlier.The trios just straight up looked at me as if they were speechless from my reply. Then, Aries just tilted her head to the side. "But... Is that really fine, Athan?" She asked innocently. Because of this, the idiots who was beside me clutched their heats tightly while saying, "I've seen enough."I just sighed when I saw them like this and
