Whew! I secured my safety here in Haynes Family for the time being.Why? Well, if someone invites you to a meeting and didn't even shake your hands at first, means that there is some hidden agenda, and the trust is a complete zero.But when the tension was gone, the meeting ended with a firm handshake. It only means one thing, trust was built.Since my movement is not restricted here and no one can order me around, I asked one of the maids where is the library.I walk in the direction she told me and reached the end of the hallway.I opened the door and was amazed that there were lots of books more than I expected.The library housed many books.I inhale deeply and smell the familiar scent of books.How I miss this smell.Okay, already secured my role as a knight and my safety. It will not hurt to laze around and read a book for a couple of days, right?Thinking of the future ahead, my goal is still not within my reach.Whatever, since I came here to fill my head with more information
I glanced at the window beside me and saw that the sun is setting.It happened all the time during my previous life, once I immersed myself in reading, I lost track of time.I finished reading the books I get from the shelves.The majority of what I read was utterly meaningless. But it didn't stop me from reading as long as I can differentiate what is useful information from meaningless ones.Information is vital. Even if it's meaningless for now, who can say that information cannot be used in special circumstances in the future?I get up from my seat and retrieved the books from their shelves.I stretched my arms upward and felt hungry.I leave the library and proceed to my room, for sure some of the maids will call me before the dinner starts.Time passed and now is the day for the ceremony of being knighted.Well, I do not expect things to be grand but what shocking news.After being knighted, a banquet party was held solely for the ceremony. I ask Elena if this is the normal way t
My days passed repeating the usual. Woke up, had breakfast, talk to Elena then headed to Library.In the afternoon visit the magician's research room and train with Leo and Klein.Since Elena is always inside, my duty guarding her is not hectic. She told me that is okay not to follow her around since its safe inside.Elena and I are getting close, but I made sure that there's still a clear line that would not develop into some feelings. I must focus first on my plans before anything else.Elena was smart and she understood but it doesn't hinder us from being friendly with each other. And if someone looks at us. One can say that our relationship is friends more than that of a Knight and Lady.Now it's time to attend the Riverdale Elite Academy.I'm kind of looking forward to it. Somehow, I missed the time when I'm still a student.Riverdale Elite Academy.School for the most talented magician in the Narva Kingdom.There are different academies built inside Lithe City. Normal citizens
After reading a bit inside my room. I called Elena and told her when we will leave for class.Though this world had no smartphones. They develop a device solely for communication. Unlike smartphones that you can use to call someone even on the other side of the earth, this world's communication device is the opposite. After receiving her answer, I prepared to leave and waited outside the dormitory for Elena.After waiting for a couple of minutes, Elena appeared but not alone.It seems that she has some friends inside the academy which is good for her."Did I keep you waiting long?" Elena"No, I just arrived here also." Jin"Is that so? Anyway, Jin these are my friends. Melissa and Sasha. We are in the same class" ElenaI slightly bow my head to pay respect to them and properly introduce myself."Hello! I am Jin and Knighted by Earl Albert Haynes to protect Elana." Jin"Hello, it seems that Elena's stories are true." Melissa"Yes, I wonder if the other story she told us is also true."
After ending her lesson and getting all the applications from the upcoming match. Beatrice left the classroom and headed to her office.Jin Hale, you are a mystery. First His Majesty personally wrote a letter to skip the strict initial screening and the headmaster himself invited you to his office.She entered her office and start evaluating the application from her students.This years' elimination match will be eye-catching since many 3rd-year students that surpass the standard of the academy will participate in the said event.But what added to the fire is the mysterious Jin Hale. She already did the investigation about his background since she was very pissed off when the strict initial screening was skipped.She was one of the two out of five instructors who didn't accept bribes, do the initial screening, and choose students if they have potential.All information was blocked except the day he met Alena and knighted due to the deed he did.Since it's itching her to know more, she
The news of an official match traveled like a free wind on the whole academy.Many students started betting on who would win. There are also instructors that we're intrigued by the match.And two particular instructors were most intrigued, namely Beatrice and Robert. Both of them are friends and previous advisors of His Majesty.They were seated exclusively for instructors."Who do you think will win the match?" Beatrice"Hmm. I think it's Jin if he can go all out and avoid a single mistake. Chad was gifted since he was young and honed his magic and swordsmanship." Robert"How about Jin?" Beatrice."He's competent enough, although the headmaster personally screened his potential. I can't say that he can easily win this match." Robert"Are you saying that Jin has a higher chance of winning this match as long as he goes all out?" Beatrice"Yes. Besides my gut tells me that child is a veteran swordsman." Robert"Oh-ho! That's exciting. Let's see how powerful he is. If His Majesty wrote t
Every time I yawned his face become more distorted. I was about to say something when I heard him confidently say that he will end me now.Did I hear it right?Then he laughed"HAHAHAHA!" Chad"Now face the consequences of embarrassing me!" ChadAnd then he fired his most powerful attack.Oh-ho. I can feel that this magic is comparable to the E-rank. How can I tell?Ever since honing my core and magic, I become more sensitive to mana.Since I can tell how powerful his attack was. I supposed I'm currently on D-rank.Everyone is amazed how a fireball can be that large and fast.Unfortunately for him. I use mana strengthening on my feet that are quickly infused with wind attributes.Then the large arena where I was standing was covered with fire.I still heard Chad laughing his heart out loud.All the students and some instructors who were pissed on me due to my deal with Robert cheered with joy.Guess it's about time."Are you done? Why are you laughing?" JinHis happy face becomes conf
News of defeating Rank 17 by a new student in an official match sent an uproar in the Academy. Even the instructors were surprised.He thought that the gazes he received will die down, but he was wrong. Defeating Chad added more gazes toward him.Whatever, I've done what should I have done.I felt a little built of guilt for making him my steppingstone to my goal.I will not forget your contribution to my plan.Three days quickly passed, and I become more excited.Beatrice and Robert promise to teach me every Saturday until I learn everything they can teach.Are they too trusting?It's weird that they are willing to teach me. Regarding Robert, it's understandable since we made a deal, but I cannot say the same with Beatrice.I think she wants something in return.Whatever it is, I can just solve it for my future self. For now, let's enjoy the benefits of getting more information and honing my skills and magic.Speaking of skills, the only skill known to every race is mana strengthenin
