"I…" Chloe hesitated a little. She gulped and looked me straight into my eyes. She couldn't hide her happy expression. Her lips curled up a little. She didn't seem to believe me as she asked. "Are you serious?" "I am. As stated in the contract, I will die if I treat you as a Hero. I will treat you normally, like a normal girl of our age." Maybe she was still hesitant because of the words 'normally.' For her, words normally indicated her as a Hero. It was normal for her to clear dungeons. It was also…-

The Hero, Chloe, was the character with the most potential in my novel. She was not called a Hero for nothing; her talents and traits earned her the title. Her Talents were ridiculous. 3 S-Rank Talents similar to Zaiden, and her Trait made her stronger than anyone else when she helped someone. The reason for that was simple. She has the Hero Trait. She was someone who was born to be a Hero in this world. She appeared in the story 3 years after Zaiden became an Awakener. At that time, she was already…

The sparring tournament ended with Zaiden being the winner. After he was healed by the Awakener that the school hired, he was able to defeat his opponent easily. He fought the girl that played Lisa around and paid her back for what she did. Lisa had also made a full recovery after resting for a while. She was happy when she saw Zaiden defeat the opponent who played around with her easily. After the tournament, Zaiden went back to the dorm to rest while the girl went in a separate direction. Lily went…

I closed our distance at a faster speed. In less than a second, I was already in front of Zaiden and swung my sword. He was clearly surprised, as he had reacted quite late. He moved his sword to parry mine with much difficulty. He was lucky to be able to move. His sword parried my sword that was aimed at his head, changing its direction a little, making it hit his shoulder. Tak–! "Ugh!" He grunted in pain. His balance was disturbed by that. I used this chance to kick him in the stomach, and he was…

I was able to find the girls quickly. They were chatting about my last match earlier. As expected, Mirana was the one who made a fuss about it. However, Lily has unexpectedly explained a reason to her. "Listen, Mirana. In a fight, something like that happens often. I remember Zaiden being beaten to a pulp by his dad, and that was only training." "I-is that so? I thought he beat his opponent because he hated him." "No. Something like that often happens in a fight." "But… he looked like he was…

Zaiden walked past and entered the infirmary with Lisa in his arms. I looked at the ceiling with no one in the hallway. The flickering light from the light bulb in the hallway made a humming noise of electricity. Bzt–– hum–– It was quiet with no one talking. The electricity noise calmed me, for some reason. "Damn it… Now I feel bad for not giving her some fighting ability." I had heard everything with my sharp ears. I heard how Lisa asked Zaiden why she was too weak. Lisa was an expert in…

My opponent was weak. Even though I tried my best to keep my strength at a Non-Awakener's level, he was knocked out by just one kick. I was told to go to the winner's waiting room to wait for the second round. While I was walking in the hallway, Zaiden exited the waiting room and closed the door behind him. "Yo, good luck in your second match." I greeted him, and he turned to me. "Oh, Vincent. Yeah, thank you." He was looking at me oddly. It was like he was sad and determined. Anyway, he was…

The third match was not worth seeing. The fighters were girls, but they were just slapping and clawing each other in the arena, which was painful to see. The referee decided to stop the match midway and continue on to the fourth match. "It's Lisa's turn," Ao muttered as she looked at the arena. "Is she strong?" I asked Ao curiously, and she shook her head. "Lisa is not much of a fighter. I think she only wants to try what she can do in this sparring tournament." "I see…" That much was expected.…

The Academy allowed the students to use weapons in this sparring. They had even prepared wooden weapons on the side of the arenas for the students to use. There were swords, spears, rapiers, and even a whip that was made from leather. The whip was still more lethal compared to other weapons, but as the students couldn't imbue mana into the whip, it was still allowed to be used in the sparring. Long-range weapons were not permitted in the sparring. The reasoning was that the arena was too small and the…

Two days had passed, and it was now Monday. The Academy was open, and it was time to take classes again. Yesterday, I spent my time training at Smith's place from morning to evening. Using a Training Facility and being trained require money. I asked Smith about how much I should pay, but he brushed it off by saying that I should show results in a week to pay for his lessons. I was really grateful to him for not asking for money for the lesson, as I wanted to save my money. Not to mention,…
