"Erm… can you forgive me already my cute little sis…?"
"…………"
After I'd finally confessed my incident back at my active time from 17th July to 18th July, my cute little sister, Restia— got angry with me.
She locked herself in her room, which Ruby and Fortuna are accompanying her.
"Cheer up, myaster."
Felix came to cheer me by snuggling her head on my hand.
I probably am making a terribly pitiful look right now. Though it's not Felix that I need now, but it still soothes my heart a little.
"Oh, thank you, Felix—"
"—NYAA!!?"
BAM!
Just as I was about to hug Felix in my arms, Restia snatched her away into her room.
"—……Eh?"
…It took me a while to react&m
“RISE AND SHINE YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING BRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”A terrible, annoying shout shook the entire house with its might.…It can't be, that guy— he's actually serious…?!BAM!!!He barged into my room—"—RISE AND SHINE!!!"BAM!!!—and Restia's room."—IT'S MORNING ALREADY YOU IDIOTIC BRATS!!!""…WILL, YOU, SHUT, UP!!?" Restia complained."I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE FEELING DOWN OR WHAT, JUST MAKE UP WITH YOUR BROTHER ALREADY!!! TIME~! TO~! WAKE~! UP~!!!"So annoying…!!!"STOP BOTHERING MY LITTLE SISTER ALREADY!!!"I swiftly stepped into Restia's room and yelled at him.He doesn't seem to be bothered by it at all. 
Living room. As soon as we carried Restia and Ruby to the sofa, I went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast while Principal is recovering Restia's mana deficiency with his own mana. As for Dómr and the other magical beasts, they were out hunting as training. "…Here." Placing the bowl on the table with a resounding clatter, I patted Principal's shoulder, which he turned, glancing at the bowl. "Meatball soup noodles?" He muttered, looking dissatisfied. "…Yeah. I didn't have a proper meal for the past few days— I can't eat fried or spicy food for these few days." Even if I had a deteriorating body, I still need to stay healthy to live for another six years. "And what does this have to do with me?" He uttered. Did he dislike noodles? I recall the cup noodles that Nightwalker prepared
Today's the last day Principal will be staying here. Ever since my true personality takes place that day— there are some visible changes. First, Dómr and the others are sparkling clean, and it seems they have been properly cleaning themselves ever since. Second, Restia and Ruby had been even clingier than they already are, yet for some reason, they also grew more independent at the same time. It's like they had some sort of resolve and determination. Restia had fully mastered teleportation magic in both long and short distance, and she could teleport several times a day in long distance. In addition, she also learnt how to grasp the 'Force of Will' as well. Third, Principal made me go through a hellish training. For the first two days, Nightwalker and I were taught of the 'Force of Will'. Apparently, the techniques we could pull off are in 50-50 fragments of our own.
The epilogue, or maybe, the punch line of this story. The next day after Principal left, or rather, returned to where he came from— I received an unknown call from Principal’s phone. If it isn’t for this call, I would never realize that he purposely left his phone here just so he could contact me. Anyways, I regretted accepting his call. He gave me a task to deal with the aftermath of the war against the Regalia Empire. The war? An overwhelming victory with all 16 million Regalia armies completely annulated, plus, all Regalia spies was dead— or so he told me. Lucillea, the Prime Minister of Central Imperial Island, went on a vacation with her husband and daughter after the war, leaving her work behind. Since there’s too much work for him and Vice, he had some fair share for me as well. Throwing the cou
2nd June, Year XX93. “OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!” “WHOA— WHAT THE HECK!!?” As soon as the door at Training Room 1 closed and locked— I mustered strength on my legs and run towards Principal at full speed. “EAT THIS!!!” While yelling that, I throw a punch. BAM!!! “GEH— ARGH!!?” My fist caved into his face, sending him flying to the wall. “Guh— you stupid brat…!” He stood up while healing the bruise on his face. “I forgot my multi-layered magic barrier doesn’t work on you…!” “Hahaha! This is what you get you damn old fart!” “Isn’t this supposed to be a touching reunion after six years!?” He asked. “What is wrong with you!?” “Who cares about that?! I don’t have much time left anyway, haha…!!!”
The White Mansion, 1st floor, Classroom.After our lengthy discussion about putting my duties as the King candidate and Highest Executive of Imperial Knights Academy to a holdoff and focus on my role as a Special Student— there's still some time till lunch break.Unfortunately, the Cafeteria at the Central Section is still closed, so I had to return to the White Mansion on the buggy.I took a nice shower in my room. And I was surprised to see Kuroyuki reading a book at her usual spot when I entered the classroom afterwards.I didn't want to interrupt her, so I sat next to her and read a book too.Compared to Kuroyuki, who's literally holding one, I read e-books (electronic books) instead.It's a research journal written by my father— a history about the <First Star-Revolution Generation> of Darkness Element, also the founder of the <Star-
Once I agreed, she took half of the chicken and chopped it into smaller pieces.I took the chicken pieces for a wash and threw them into the boiling water to skim off the scum on the chicken. Then I poured some oil on the frying pan and preheat it, adding some garlic crumbles.Then, Kuroyuki took a bag of marinated minced pork belly meat and poured all of it into the frying pan.However, the amount she prepared beforehand... It's as if she expected my arrival."When did you prepared that much...?" I asked her, while pan-frying the minced meat."...I wasn't expecting you to be late for six months." She told me."I wasn't expecting myself to be late for six months either."While telling her that, Kuroyuki took away the pot with the chicken and poured it into the sink. She cools the chicken with water and plucks off the blood clot, tendons,
It’s been six years since my parents were gone— no matter how much I wished, they never returned.It’s really depressing when I can’t even recall their faces.After all, my parents didn’t even leave their pictures behind…What remains with me are my hazy memories.While Kuroyuki and I finally sat down for our lunch, I told her about my parents’ disappearance that happened six years ago, at the Forest of the Black & White.…It was painful to recall those memories, but at the same time, I also felt relieved that Restia and the others were doing well.The effort that I devoted to them for six years has finally borne fruit— but… it’s coming to an end soon.‘I’m going to die soon.’As if I could easily say such words to the gir
After Persia and I rode the subway station towards the centre of the Central District, I immediately got off the train and was currently…“Blerghhhh……………………”…puking my soul out in the men’s washroom.Ugh, I feel like crap.I can’t believe I had motion sickness.Come to think of it, this was my first time riding a train. It was unexpected because I was fine despite riding a shaking helicopter under such crude weather.So… a train motion sickness it is.I still had to ride it one more time when we went back… ugh…… just thinking about it gives me the chills.‘I bought the pills’ Persia sent me a message.‘U can come out now’Rinsing my mouth and throat with water, I sloppily exited the washroom with a fatigued look.“Here, water,” Persia said as she gave me a bottle of water.“…Thanks, Persia……”“I also bought the pills you wanted.”Saying that, Persia handed over the entire tablets of Antihistamines.Antihistamines… I might feel drowsy, dizzy, and decreased mental alertness from the si
Hot.…So hot.The weather's so hot.It's been a while since I last felt summer heat.Since I met Kuroyuki Shiroha, my concept regarding heat seems to disappear.Okay… it looks like I got here a little early. I might as well ask Mr Waals Junior regarding to 'that'.Activating my screen, I looked for Reus Waals's contact with my authorisation and contacted him through the IKAssembly.'Morning, Reus Waals' I texted.'This is Lucifer Nightwalker von Nightmare, the special student''I have a favour to ask of you'
Nowadays, there aren't many who mastered all three keys. Those who mastered them are called the triplex magicians, which were rare to find in this era."Yes, I'm one. And…?" Lefiya answered without being proud, or rather, she was unconcerned about it."Oh, nothing," I replied. "I was merely curious about it.""…That sounds like the lines of a person who will ask me a favour later," Lefiya said to me with a stern look."Why, indeed," I answered blandly. "How did you know?""…From experience." When Lefiya made that remark, her stern, cold expression remained."Sounds like a bad one," I said."…It is." She answered coldly.Whatever happened in her past looked like she'd been through a lot."Oh, that's right— Lefiya, do you have any plans later?" I asked. 
Magic, or magic spells is a supernatural power to bend the laws of nature. It could be cast by converting the source, which is mana, and performing either one of the 'three keys', which are the catalyst for it.Before talking about the 'three keys', let's talk about mana.To begin with, what is mana?It's a form of energy that could be converted into magic spells— but only by performing either one of the 'three keys' could convert mana into magic.Mana was stored inside your body— the mana core. Like how unique it was in everybody's Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), fingerprints, and even their genetic and cultural traits, everyone was born with a different mana capacity, density and wavelength from each other; there may be similarities, but not the same. Just the mana capacity itself is rather distinct when you compare human's mana capacity (the lowest) with the elves (one of the highest).
Lefiya continues to apologise with her head lowered."… It's no use to blame her about that now," I said. "For now… let's just focus on these."Telling him that, I look at the items on the desk.A silver semi-auto pistol with a magazine of a capacity of 20 bullets.19 9×18mm Ultra bullets.A strand of scarlet hair.Video: Lefiya's bullied scene with video quality of 4k, 120 FPSPicture 1: Lefiya's blood stain on the grassPicture 2: Damaged tree trunk and bullet holePicture 3: Damaged grass and soil and bullet hole"Looks like the only thing useful is probably the fingerprints on the gun and that one strand of hair…" I said."No, don't you give me that." Principal retorted with his eyes squinted at me, seemingly annoyed. "You al
CLAP."Alright then, let's get down to business, shall we?"With a clap, Principal invited us to sit in front of his desk as he casually sat on his seat.BAM!!!He immediately slammed his fist down on the table when we sat."WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, LEFIYA RIOS CHALLIA!? HOW MANY TIMES HAD I WARNED YOU NOT TO STICK YOURSELF INTO TROUBLE!!?" Principal yelled with bloodcurdling anger.…It made a dent at the table.It surprised Lefiya so much that her hair turned mauve purple, but not me— I'm already used to it. It's his common pattern to slam onto something when he's angry."Wait, so it's like, she's gone missing before too?" I asked."No, no, that's not it." Principal corrected me. "It's just that every single trouble she involves herself in is putting this country into greatttttt danger.""I-I-I-I-I'm sorry……" Lefiya hurriedly apologises by bowing her head several times."What do you mean…… putting this country into greattttttt danger?" I asked.Principal heaved a short sigh afterwards
It was said that elves are the most prideful among all races, even more so than dragons.They are a race specialising in the use of magic in which every one of them had an extraordinary amount of mana that stood at the top of all races.They had a similar appearance to humans except for their long ears. It was also said that every one of them is beautiful, and perhaps such is the cause of their arrogance.That said, the worst ones are the light elves living in Alfheim, which is one of the countries in the World Tree Yggdrasil Republic, surrounding the world tree Yggdrasil.That said, there are also dark elves, sea elves, snow elves, and forest elves.Among these five elves races, forest elves— said to be one with the forest, were in charge of the World Tree, Yggdrasil.Because the fairies were said to live within Yggdrasil.Fairies
I hurriedly head back to the Second Year Faculty.…Has it been five minutes already…? Let's hope those people haven't fled the scene.When I got back to the central courtyard, no one was there anymore.The bullets, bullet shells, glove and flip knife, were gone. Even if I scanned the whole area for metal detection, none of them showed up.What's left was the bullet hole left at the tree trunk and the ground, and this stain on the grass is probably Lefiya's blood.Annoyed by not having any solid evidence, I heaved a long sigh.It was when I realized a strand of scarlet hair stuck on my shirt and the pistol the girl used was in my pocket.…Better capture some images about these first.The only solid evidence I had now were only this strand of scarlet hair and the fingerprints on this pistol.
Because I was standing behind her, she couldn't see who I was.As for her companions— they recognized my face, and were stunned in shock.Six of them wore a black masks covering their faces. They had gloves, and they even wore coloured contact lenses to hide their eye colour.… That's awfully well prepared. They aren't those Second Year C-Class students listed in the check-in records, are they?"That's my line." I retorted while gently twisting her arm."Ahhh…!?"The girl was forced to let go of her knife because of the pain.Still grabbing her arm, I removed her hood; it revealed her beautiful, long scarlet hair.It doesn't seem like a wig, but I can't really tell whether it is a wig or not. Nevertheless, not one of the seven students that I memorized earlier has this kind of hairstyle or hair col
