I said this because I felt that the experience of dying and coming back to life in a contaminated area could be seen as a form of training in its own way.

“I ended up doing something roughly similar.”

“Uncle, why do you train until your body gets to this point when you have no use for it?”

“Why do I have nowhere to write? I don’t know what my life will be like in the future.”

It was essential to learn skills to protect my body in a situation where I didn’t know what would happen in the future.

“Ah… it doesn’t make sense that there isn’t a place to use it. How important exercise is. It’s important for your health.”

Rebecca catches Shine’s mistake and starts nagging him pointlessly.

“Ugh, what I’m saying is that you’re doing it to the point of getting hurt!”

“Hmm, that’s definitely a problem. It seems like it must have been quite painful to get such a black bruise. I only know the standard for awakened people, so it’s difficult for an ordinary person to not know at what level a bruise would occur.”

There is no need for that.

Since I have also awakened, I can look at it based on what I know.

I wondered for a moment whether I should tell them or not, but I also told Sasha and I thought there was no reason not to tell them.

It was perfect for waiting because I suddenly left the room.

“I have awakened.”

“huh?”

“???”

“He was over 30 and had awakened. That’s why he left to check on that.”

“You said the man has awakened?”

“As far as I know, no matter how late I wake up, I’ll probably be around twenty.”

Rebecca and Shine didn’t readily believe me.

It was a situation that did not fit common sense, so it is completely understandable.

To confirm for myself, I used telekinesis to levitate Shine’s body in the air.

“Huh? Huh? Did you do this?”

After an unexpectedly intense flight, his abilities grew to the point where he was able to lift a woman who weighs only a little like Shine.

Boom!

“Ugh!?”

Of course, it means you can float it, but it doesn’t mean you can hold it for a long time.

“As you can see, I did it.”

“What are your abilities?”

“Telekinesis! Right?”

Shine gave the correct answer sharply.

“that’s right.”

“So you’re really an awakened person? What’s going on?”

“That’s right. It’s so amazing. Congratulations!”

Normally, if a commoner becomes an awakened person, it’s something to celebrate, but…

“But if you’re awakened, shouldn’t you enlist? Wow! Don’t you have to enlist in your 30s?”

“Hi!”

“Once you’re discharged, you’ll grow older…”

Rebecca couldn’t finish what she was saying and opened her mouth.

It felt like a dagger had been stabbed in my chest.

“……”

“I’m just like being discharged and then re-enlisting. Enlisting at age 30 is a bit…”

“Why are you enlisting? It’s not like everyone who reports as an awakened person has to enlist. Isn’t it okay to do something because they’re not qualified?”

Like Shine said, we will find a way somehow.

There had to be no more enlistment in my life.

“I won’t enlist. I’ve never been trained in abilities like you, so if I enlist, I’ll probably die.”

“!!”

“You can’t die!”

Their expressions harden, as if they realized that the situation was more serious than they thought.

“That’s why I haven’t reported it yet. Looking at the situation on the front line right now, I think I’m going to drag them in because they’re wondering what’s going on.”

Rebecca came to her senses first, stood up, and spoke.

“You crazy bastard! Then it’s not the time to be like this!! Training!!! Absolutely training!! No, tomorrow, no, get training from me starting today!”

“Train with me!”

Shine also makes a fuss about training with me.

“I’m going to train, but I can’t do it openly. Are you still hiding it?”

You never know when something might happen, but you can’t not train.

But it was still time to take care of myself.

When a situation arises where you are not taken to the military, only then will you be able to use your abilities with confidence.

If possible, I wasn’t planning on using my abilities anywhere other than the general store.

“That’s not what it sounds like, uncle.”

“That’s right, it’s just like breathing. How can you not use your abilities? At the very least, you won’t even use them when training? That’s not true. If your tail is long, you have no choice but to get stepped on.”

“That’s your story. It’s normal for me not to use it. I’ve been living my whole life without using it. Moreover, my ability is telekinesis, so it’s invisible to the naked eye.”

I think I just need to not show it openly.

There was no way I would make the same mistake as someone who had taken their abilities for granted since they were babies.

“It seems like an ability that is easy to hide. But does anyone know this? Is it a secret that only we know?”

“I only know three or four of you.”

“Four people!?”

“Why are there so many? Apart from us, who are the other two?”

“Mr. Surprisingly, I meet a lot of people. I thought it was you.”

He fed honey chestnuts to Shine’s forehead after he said something cheeky and said.

“One of them is someone you all know.”

“Someone I know? Let’s say I know someone… Ah! Shasha?”

“Yes, there is someone else with Sasha. Don’t worry, I can trust you.”

The other person is Ariando.

I had no intention of telling Ariando, but I found out by chance.

“Are you going to train with me?”

Shine had been begging me to continue training with him from earlier.

“You can’t train where other people are.”

“All I need is a place?”

“We can do it at the Sasha training ground.”

Shine also nodded at Rebecca’s cool suggestion.

“That’s right. You can ask for permission and borrow it when no one else is around.”

“It’s no big deal to bother Sasha, but that’s the only way, right?”

“I think Sasha will probably be happy that she can help?”

“But is there a way to report me as an awakened person without having to go to the military? I know you’ll do well because you’re capable, but I was wondering if that was possible.”

method?

“I have a method in mind.”

“You have a plan! Thank goodness.”

“But I’m not sure, so I’ll tell you later when I’m sure.”

The military probably doesn’t want to take me with them either.

At best, he can’t even lift his own body, so what kind of monster is he?

I still get goosebumps when I think of the shadow I glimpsed back then.

‘Even if I took him with me, he wouldn’t be able to function properly as an awakened person, so should I take him with me? ‘It should make you think.’

If those in power subtly apply pressure, the military will not act harshly.

It was better for humanity if I stayed here rather than in the military.

‘Anyway, I don’t know if Ariando is doing well.’

Ariando, who turned the Academy upside down, must be very upset by now.

I was a little worried about how well I was handling it.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

“So what the student said…”

The student’s head teacher placed his hand on his throbbing head as if he was speechless because it was so absurd.

I think I stumbled a bit with my explanation because I’m not used to lying, but I’m not sure if it’ll be okay.

“After hearing the news that my older sister was injured, I went to visit her in the hospital, and on my way back, I fell in love with a man I ran into and ran after him, right? A duke’s daughter.”

“yes!”

“I can’t tell you who that man is.”

“Yes! I think I need to protect myself. If my father finds out, won’t he just kill me?”

The head teacher’s expression hardens as if he is saying something obvious.

“I chased after him so frantically that I hesitated and suddenly confessed, but he got dumped, so I had no choice but to return to the academy?”

“That’s right! That’s accurate!”

“Is this really all you have to say? If it turns out to be untrue later, you could be penalized.”

Even when the student’s head teacher scared him, he didn’t even blink.

‘What are you going to do if I say that?’

I thought I had come up with a good excuse, but aren’t there too many annoying questions?

I was a little annoyed.

‘Even if you look at me like that, I will never change my words.’

It seems that it is effective to look confidently even under the harsh gaze of the student’s head teacher.

The student’s head teacher, who was staring at me as if he could see through the truth, lifted his slightly lowered glasses with the back of his hand and spoke.

“First of all, I would like to send my deepest condolences to the fact that he was dumped.”

“Yes. It was a very sad incident. My tears still haven’t dried. Sob.”

“…However, no matter how young you are, it is a big mistake to skip the academy without permission.”

“I will accept whatever punishment you give me!”

“I really like the way you seem to be reflecting. I’m not sure if it’s right to reflect.”

I responded with a quick smile to what the student head teacher said.

“I am completely and completely reflecting on this.”

“Yes.”

Oops, shouldn’t I have laughed?

I realized late that I had made a mistake and worked hard to control my facial expression.

“It looks like your broken heart didn’t hurt you as much as I thought. I can’t see the slightest sadness on your face.”

However, the student’s head teacher began questioning him again, probably because he had already seen him smiling.

“Hey!! Is it okay for you to become the daughter of a duke’s family and be sullen after being rejected once? And, even though it’s sad, you have to manage your facial expressions. I’ve received early education since I was young. I have a poker face. Do you know?”

“…..”

The student head teacher’s expression seemed to be slowly decaying, but he pretended not to notice.

“And come back after you’ve finished organizing your thoughts.”

“Have you already sorted it out? Then there’s no need to follow along, right?”

“Do you think my love is a joke?! You must do your best until you admit that you have failed!!”

“Ha~ I understand. Let’s move on from this point. Instead, we won’t be able to get over this as a light punishment.”

“Yes.”

“I hear my family is waiting, so I’ll stop here.”

The student head teacher left the counseling room, and a little while later the door opened again.

Knights dispatched from the family.

When I thought about how I had to run away to the academy after suffering because of those people, I felt a rush of wind in my cheeks.

‘You went through so much trouble for no reason!’

Even if the knights hadn’t come to visit, I would have taken a leisurely rest at the inn and then moved on.

Then, I wouldn’t have been dragged to the counseling room without being able to rest properly like I am now and told a bunch of lies.

I looked at the family knights with resentment.

“miss.”

The driver, who felt my gaze, spoke as if he was somewhat embarrassed.

“I have traced where you went. Why did you go near the front line?”

“I explained everything? Didn’t you hear?”

“I had to hear it, but who would believe it?”

“I told you so, why don’t you believe me? Are you ignoring me?”

“…Miss, you need to tell me why you went near the front lines.”

“I already said everything, but I don’t understand why you’re asking me to say it again~?”

“If you keep lying, there’s nothing we can do for you.”

My lips pouted at the knight’s words.

Is there nothing you can do for me?

If I hadn’t been chased then, I would have been able to come to the academy much more comfortably.

“I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. I explained the situation, and the Academy said they would discipline me on their own. That’s it. I’m starting to get annoyed, so why don’t you just go back?”

“…I will report to the head of the family what I heard today.”

“Either that or not~huh.”

If you hear the report, your parents will probably scold you, but what if they tell you that the Academy has already punished you?

At least it will be much better than if the real reason was discovered.
