We had met with and talked to the blood mage, Edward, early on. As it turns out, he hadn't become the crazed murderer he was in the previous game just yet. In fact, he was incredibly innocent and naive at this point. But if nothing else, he had the desire to save people. Assuming we could recruit him properly, then not only would he no longer cause trouble in the future, but instead the guy would be an ally. Yet, right now he did not know he was a blood mage. As such, I hatched a little lie to…-

I couldn't help but feel a little concerned. When Nathan spoke of his plan to me, it honestly sounded quite wishy-washy to me, but I have confidence that he knew what he was doing. It was probably going to be hard to fight against pretty much anyone with how our strengths were now, especially someone that could potentially be a blood mage. Perhaps Edward had actually become a mage earlier than we had thought. If that were the case, that would mean Nathan was in serious trouble. I hardened my…

After seeing that the person that had stepped forward was Minori, I slowly lowered my head, focusing my attention back on eating. However, this seemed to spur her on even harder. "How dare you pretend to be a good person! I know what you've done to Natan! I bet the moment anybody sits down to eat with you they'll be poisoned!" The butler next to me furrowed his brow, taking offense at that statement. "Preposterous! How could the food be poisoned when Lord Bryson personally steps down and eats…

Without knowing any better, I left Jess in the carriage, who was smiling to herself. Without another word, I made my way to class. On the way to take the steps, I couldn't help but notice two people I hadn't seen for quite a while. Carrot Top and Baby Man. To be honest, I'd almost forgotten they had even existed. They still looked as ridiculous as they always did, but there seemed to be bags forming under their eyes. For whatever reason, they weren't getting enough sleep. Not that I cared.…

Looking down at the squirming and blushing Raisa, I couldn't help but feel like I was looking at a kid. Oh, how first impressions change... Before, I thought she was a rather scary woman that I couldn't get along with, but now I wouldn't be surprised if she suddenly called me Onii-tan. In the end, her legs began trembling before giving out entirely, leading her to fall to her knees. Raisa was on the verge of crying as she looked at me. "I-I messed up really badly, didn't I?" A wry smile formed…

Raisa looked rather lost and slowly lowered her hand after I left her hanging. "What do you mean? Why are you second-guessing your desire for power? How could having it even be a bad thing?" I didn't really want to make a speech about how too much power was bad. There was a saying that power corrupts people or something along those lines, but I thought it was a bunch of bullcrap. Maybe I was completely wrong in thinking that, but that was my opinion. I didn't believe that power could just…

Raisa seemed to calm down somewhat by the end of the carriage ride, though it still seemed she was somewhat insecure about how people looked at her. Regardless, that was to be expected. It wasn't like some pep talk was just going to suddenly make her change. Upon stepping off the carriage though, I stopped thinking about those things and marveled at the place displayed in front of me. It was... unnecessarily huge. I knew that in reality, things like castles and noble manors weren't actually…

After all that, English class went on rather uneventfully. The only thing different from normal was that Dennis was even more unenthusiastic than before. In gym class, Rae began teaching us the basics of most of the wooden weapons, then got us to train by using them. From there, she would walk around and correct anyone's posture that was incorrect. Rae was giving us advice and pressing certain parts of our body to force the muscle into the correct position. It turns out she was surprisingly…

Though it wasn't something that Nathan really showed, he was a person with a lot of pride. In a certain sense, I guess you could call that narcissism, but it wasn't like he just took out mirrors to look at himself or anything. He looked at Dennis, the English teacher, and narrowed his eyes ever so slightly. "You think that this school would be better off without commoners, no?" Dennis scoffed and flicked his sleeve. "That much is obvious. Simply because they have a little bit of magical talent,…

After asking if he needed help in killing Edward, Nathan was unfazed. "I have a plan that should probably take care of him. I'll tell you how it ends up in a few days and if I need your help." With that, I asked no more about that. After eating my second serving of pottage, I felt quite full, but there was still stuff I wanted to talk about so I got another even though it would probably give me a stomach ache. "I think I found out why Bryson turned evil. There was this book that tried to take…
