The second year of the academy... is actually when the academy truly starts. The first year is literally a preparation where a lot of things are restricted. It's not unlike a simple high school environment. Students are even required to wear uniforms... But from the second year onward, this high school-like system changes completely. Special courses with chosen specializations, no more limited contact with other years, new and more unique 'exams'... and much more. And not only that. This academic…-

*(A/N: Sorry... I was hospitalized for two days because of an illness and discharged only yesterday morning. That was why the chapter was delayed this much. I will try to make up for it. Also, this chapter was the last chapter of visiting others. The next chapter starts with the second year of the academy. I hope I didn't bore you too much with these chapters.)* Nobility... was something that brought a lot of changes to my life. I was of course aware that some things would change. There were many…

Three days. Today was the third day since I arrived in Cevilian. I had already met and talked to most of my friends. I still hadn't spoken to Sue, though. Julian and Lucia weren't at the academy either, so there hadn't been a face-to-face meeting, but they were aware that I had woken up. Everyone was aware, actually. After all, the whole world now knew that I was awake... knew what had happened to me. And that I would become a noble. The ceremony was only a few minutes away, after all. And where…

When I pushed the door, what I found was usually... a dimly lit room. Not completely dark, but certainly not bright. This time, unexpectedly, I was greeted by a quite bright room. The layout was exactly the same, just as I remembered it. The only difference was that the lamp overhead was lit. Ah, no... the only difference was not the lamp. "Huh...?" I couldn't hold back the sound that came out of my mouth, I looked in front of me, dumbfounded. More precisely toward the bed, and... the figure on…

Security at the academy almost kicked me out because I didn't have any identification. But thanks to Melany, I somehow managed to figure it out, so I didn't reveal my name. And... when I saw the familiar buildings of the academy, I couldn't help but smile. I didn't really care about the strange looks a few students gave me. I just... missed this place, the air, literally everything about it. But I didn't stay where I was for long. I moved before I was recognized by the strange looks of a few…

I was only halfway to Sue's apartment when my watch started to ring. I quickly opened it without looking to see who it was. On the screen in front of me was Ronald Potenbea. He was about to open his mouth and speak when someone else joined the call, and then someone else. The trio I had spoken to only a few minutes ago were now back in front of me. Ronald coughed a little, then continued his interrupted words. "Paul Demens left your sister's apartment and headed straight for his home. But... he…

"Oh... so... you broke up with your boyfriend while I was away, is that it?" Clara's eyes twitched. "Is that really what we are talking about...?" "And the reason your eyes are red is because of that little rat, you say..." "Brother..." "What's his name? I think it would be nice to meet him and talk to him." "Brother!" I raised my eyebrows and looked at Clara, who was squinting and frowning furiously. "Hmm? What happened?" "After everything I've told you, that's all you're stuck on?" I…

"I- I didn't understand...? Can you say it again, Clara?" I took a deep breath, straightening my posture even more than before. I looked at the person in front of me, my boyfriend, who was looking at me with dilated eyes. And I repeated my words. "If you can't tell me why you don't trust me... yes, I want to break up, Paul." His already widened eyes widened even more, his lips parted, but he just stood there. He was in shock. "Do you want me to say it once more?" I told him, everything. I…

Thin, comfortable pants that made me feel like I was wearing sweatpants. A simple black T-shirt that was a bit baggy. A thin black glove that covered my entire right arm, almost as if it was one with my skin, and did not feel uncomfortable at all. And a gray cane given to me so that I could walk without limping. I felt strange looking at myself in the mirror, as if I was looking at someone else and not at myself, but I didn't think too much about it. My lips curled up slightly as I turned…

As my eyes slowly twitched, the first sound that whispered in my ear... was the sound of machines beeping incessantly. Strange, I thought. Usually, I would wake up to the non-existent chirping of non-existent birds, the sensation of the gentle movement of the fake soft grass beneath my body. Then there would be the fake sun on my face, a brief moment of silence... and then two people reminding me that I was not alone. But now, it was different. There was no grass, just... a comfortable bed. No…
