Natan stepped up to take the test. Incidentally, he was also the last one to take part in this test. My eyes narrowed slightly as I saw him go up. One thing I knew for sure, was that this wasn't Nathan. At least not him in his usual state. However, depending on this person's magical prowess, I can determine if they are blatantly just pretending to be them and just have an incredibly good disguise. Charlotte hesitated, but spoke up. "Y-You better do well, commoner! Don't disgrace the prestige of…-

Harold took notice of the missing seat, gazing at it for a few moments. However, he looked away soon after. "I shall begin the class." My brows furrowed, but I decided not to harp on it too much. Instead, I decided to use this period to ponder over what could've happened and what I should do about it. Then, if he was still missing after- "Sorry, I'm late!" My head snapped to the side, seeing Nathan awkwardly rush into the classroom breathlessly. There was an awkward smile on his face as he…

When we got back, Jess dragged me off the carriage with her arms around me. The servants all looked at us rather strangely, and rightfully so. Even when changing clothes, she was very reluctant to separate. It was honestly kind of suffocating. She was a little weirded out by the book I had on me, but I was able to convince her to just set it aside for now. As she dragged me along and began washing me while pressing herself against me, I came to a realization. It was a realization I should've come…

After Bernie had left, a short silence hung over the table. I looked at my hand which had been scalded by the steaming water. It almost made it seem as though it was shining bright red. A maid had hurried over and wiped me down with a handkerchief. "O-Oh dear..." I closed my eyes as she hurriedly rubbed against my face, wanting to rush it as quickly as possible, but also afraid to push too hard, lest it hurt me. She was definitely overthinking it though. I mean, I was literally being burned by…

A man took a seat across from me on the table. Realistically, he looked like any old middle-aged man, with brown hair and a beard. But there was one thing that I must commend to whoever made this guy's sprite. He had what seemed like a gentle smile on his face, but at the same time also felt fake to a certain extent. I honestly had no idea what about it made me feel this way. If you forced my hand to describe it, I would say that it made me feel welcomed, but also distant at the same time. Hm. Now…

Raisa tried to sit next to me in the carriage, but Jess forced her out and sat next to me instead. I didn't comment on the situation, since I didn't really care. I just focused on meditating. Despite the fact there were people nearby, I still felt comfortable enough to focus on learning how to dual cast. Of course, I wasn't actually casting any spells, but rather moving mana into those ways. Time passed rather quickly. Before I knew it, the carriage had stopped and everyone set things up. Both…

Jess maintained a calm expression despite Raisa's questioning. "I am not disturbed by your presence, but I cannot say the same for your actions." Raisa frowned. She had suddenly changed from an innocent little girl to a cocky arrogant noble in a flash. "Oh? And what exactly about my actions are so offensive to you?" Jess couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly. "...If you wish for me to be blunt about it, then I will. People like you only get close to others when they see benefits for…

While I had agreed to let Raisa come along, there was still some time before that would happen. I began to wonder what I could do in between to kill the time, but Raisa suddenly spoke to me. "Are you casting a spell right now?" I looked at her strangely. "Huh? No?" She looked back at me somewhat bewildered. "...Then why is the mana in your body moving so much?" I scratched the side of my head. "I'm meditating." Raisa gawked at me, like she saw a dinosaur in the zoo. "What? How…

I could only vaguely see the eyes of Raisa's bodyguard through her helmet, but they were definitely glaring at me. "You are treating this matter far too trivially! Your status may protect you while in public, but not even being the daughter of the archduke is enough to protect you from everything in the black market. Countless desperate and ignorant people are there." I raised both hands in the air. "Alright, alright. It sounds like you're quite experienced in it though." She didn't respond.…

To be honest, my nerves felt a little tense as I made my way to the black market. From what I remembered of the game, while there weren't too many plot points connected back to it, however, there was definitely a lot of danger. While we were making our way there, I noticed that Raisa was looking at me strangely. She obviously had something she wanted to say but didn't mention it. Since I didn't really care, I didn't bother asking her. However, she did end up eventually voicing out her worries.…
