It was twelve o'clock at night, and it was bitterly cold. Winter was approaching, and the empire would be under a cold spell for at least a half-year.
In our universe, there are only two seasons. One is scorching, dry summer, while the other is a cold, icy winter.
Each season lasted around six months, making people's livelihoods, particularly those of commoners, precarious.
The summer was pleasant since the heat was not severe enough to kill, crops did not wilt, and people could hunt for a living. The winter, on the other hand, was a whole other story. The temperature was so low that lower-class citizens with minimal clothing to keep them warm would perish from the cold.
And their crops, which they had sown with their lives on the line, bore little harvest, and the anima
"You're barely in time."The security guard at the door pursed his lips. We'd just about made it out in time.After mastering both abilities, we decided to put them to the test a couple of times within the library. We stayed in the library for about three hours. The skill I chose was a passive skill, so I had nothing to test except to see whether this face had become more attractive or if my skin had improved, neither of which occurred.I'm not sure if I was duped, but it doesn't matter.While Henry was ecstatic about his new Unique rank skill.I only recently discovered how long it typically takes to learn a skill. According to Henry, acquiring a common skill to perfection takes around three months, while learning an uncommo
Club activities span from dungeon adventure to alchemy and cuisine, among other things, and an artefact engineering, core engineering club was reported to exist.All of this was conveyed to us by Selena.To think about it.I recall her summoning me to the instructor's office for a meeting.Sigh.When did I catch the swordmaster's attention?Henry was interested in the management club, and I wasn't about to make him follow everything I did, so I let him investigate the club fair on his own.He stated that he wanted to learn management since he, too, will be the leader of a city, a baron, when his father retires. It's nice to know he him
"Wait, what happened to me?" It was the dead of night. I was in my dorm room, but I couldn't sleep. 'That damned women!' I loathed myself as I remembered that immoral instructor who tried to seduce her own student! Well, I was exaggerating a little here, but she did approach me in a pretty unhealthful manner. Everyone will think I'm a moron or that I turn dumb when I meet a woman, but it's not the case. Imagine a teacher approaching you and tempting you as though she was interested in you while concealing her heaven-shaking beauty. I'm sorry if you don't understand. Sorry for being a regular 18-year-old man who couldn't sleep at night because he dreamed about his teacher.
Eliza's suspicious gaze followed me as I escaped from the crowd."Well, I'm sorry for them!""What geniuses! Who knows how far they could have gotten if they hadn't been murdered! Oh, what a shame!"I brought my Oscar-winning acting skills, which I had kept concealed deep within me.Eliza glanced at the man who was often difficult to see through his thoughts, but now he was as open like a book.“Pfft. Follow me, I had no idea my business partner had such amazing abilities.""Alright, fine."I followed her through the fair, where she would stop at various stalls to converse with students before moving on. And, because it was a fai
I pulled my mind back to the conversation. My mind occasionally wanders to devilish and extreme concepts, as if coaxing and seducing me into making my thoughts a reality. I felt my second heart beating quietly as I subconsciously clutched my chest under the table. 'What will become of me?' I knew that if I even tried to move against her, someone would be swinging his blade across my neck. "But you don't have to be concerned about it. You will be automatically protected by the Kraus family if you join my club. Even if a family member tries to stand in your way, he or she must first answer to me." I cast a furtive glance at Eliza. She knew her own uncle was after me, yet she was willing to go against him for my sa
It was the busiest day of the club fair. Almost all of the students were preoccupied with recruiting, joining clubs, and getting along with their peers. They would also meet with the aristocracy who controlled the club. Getting the assistance of a higher rank noble family was a boon for noble students with low noble status, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a commoner who would receive the assistance of a noble family. Discrimination exists, and commoners may not be treated equally, yet any support they receive is preferable to none at all. And in the midst of it all, there was a word that a new faction has formed a club and is recruiting a large number of commoners while simultaneously providing them with the same assistance that a noble family would.
The "Association," generally known as the adventurer's association, was a group that was impartial to any empire. They cannot, however, be described as a harmonious and uniform group. The reason for this is that the association is made up of various factions, each with its own set of goals and desires. Since its formation, their only agreement has been to make their organization preeminent. Despite the fact that they have amalgamated to the point where they are at the same level as any empire, their strengths are not concentrated, and they just share common interests and values. Their approach and ultimate aims differed. Grand Elder Randolf's objective was to become one of the association's four leaders. This necessitates not only strength but also contributions. The association had agreed that if he completed the duty assigned to him correctly, he would be nominated as a candidate with a good chance of winning. "Recently, the Brightwing Empire has been frequently strengthening
"Do you feel all right?" Passing by the stalls without even looking at them, I cast a questioning glance at Eliza, who had stayed silent the entire time we were walking. Eliza's aura had been somewhat erratic since the accident. She appeared to be having difficulty regulating her body, mana, and aura all at once. Drip. In the midst of the fair's buzzing commotion, my excellent hearing picked up on a peculiar sound. And the blood mark on the floor proved it. Eliza was injured. Eliza wiped the corner of her mouth with her hand, slightly raised. Looking down, there was a little bloodstain on the ground. When she noticed it, she immediately stomped on it to cover up the stain. But, no matter how subtle she attempted to be with her moves, it couldn't escape my notice, and I stopped her. "What caused this?" It appeared that the earlier altercation had resulted in her suffering internal damage. The fact that she was able to withstand the pressure of that guy's aura demonstrates her s
