The Heroine of the 1st Playthrough Remembers My Training.

Episode 125: Pink And Pink (1).

Inside the carriage heading to Carnea, I checked the status window.

‘…This is strange.’

Vivian’s training progress was rising on its own.

The progress, which had been stuck at 95%, broke through to 96%, and before I knew it, it reached 99%.

‘…Why is it rising? Auto-play?’

There was nothing bad about the progress increasing, but I thought Bianca’s clear strategy was a must to surpass 95% of Vivian’s progress…

‘Was there another method I didn’t know?’

In the first place, “Academy Trainer” was a game full of variables, so it wasn’t too strange if there was a conquering method I wasn’t aware of.

─Ding.

At that moment, Vivian’s training progress changed.

[Training progress: 99% > 100%]

It was the first time I’d seen the progress rise in real time like this.

Until now, I had only checked the status window after the training was completed.

[Vivian Beatrice’s trauma has disappeared.]

[The stat limit on Vivian Beatrice has been removed.]

[Name: Vivian Beatrice]

[Occupation: Mage]

[Title: None]

[Training progress: 100%]

[Stats]

Strength 15, Agility 13, Stamina 15.

Intelligence 54, Magic Power 55, Luck 8.

‘Oh.’

I marveled as I checked Vivian’s stats.

As expected, her talent in magic was overwhelming.

‘Now, I should request to have Vivian placed in Class 1.’

Before, it was a bit ambiguous, but now there would be no problem in transferring her to Class 1.

As I was about to close the status window with a satisfied expression, something strange caught my eye.

-Trained Heroines-

─Lucia Uruella.

─Vivian Beatrice.

─Reika Calliope.

─Garcia Maisha.

─Emma.

─Parvoli Melpissa.

─Bianca Beatrice (NEW)

“….?”

It was one thing for Vivian, but how was Bianca trained all by herself?

“Is something wrong?”

Lucia asked, and I shook my head.

“No, I’m just a little bored.”

“Hehe. Master, then say ‘ah~.’”

I munched on the fruit Lucia fed me as I checked Bianca’s status window.

[Name: Bianca Beatrice]

[Occupation: Unique Ability User]

[Title: Hard Worker]

[Training progress: 80%]

[Stats]

Strength 38, Agility 41, Stamina 35.

Intelligence 13, Magic Power 20, Luck 9.

Bianca’s stats were slightly lacking compared to the top students at Carnea.

However, Bianca’s true strength lay in her unique ability.

Unique Ability: [Body Enhancement (Rank A)]

An impressive Rank A unique ability.

Considering it was only recently that my telekinesis reached Rank C, a Rank A unique ability was truly overwhelming.

If someone were to ask why someone like Bianca, with such a powerful ability, wasn’t at the top of the second year…

It was because the Body Enhancement ability, while making one stronger quickly, was simple and had clear limits.

‘…But I am different.’

Trainer (Rank EX)

-Master’s is Master’s, even the toilet’s is Master’s!

-You can use up to ‘3 > 4’ of a trained heroine’s skills (magic) at a maximum power of ‘74%.’

-The number and power of usable skills change based on the heroine’s training progress.

[Wind─Blade (Basic Wind Element Magic)] – [Created through training from ‘Lucia,’ Power 74%]

[Cut—Wind—Blade (Intermediate Wind Element Magic)] – [Created through training from ‘Vivian,’ Power 69 > 74%]

[Shadow (Parvoli Bloodline Magic)] – [Created through training from ‘Melpissa,’ Power 74%]

[Body Enhancement (Rank A)] – [Created through training from ‘Bianca,’ Power 59.2%]

As a ‘Trainer’ who could use multiple magics and unique abilities simultaneously, raising my stats with such abilities was an absolute win.

Woooong—

‘Damn…’

When I tried using Body Enhancement to check its power, all my stats, except for Magic Power and Luck, increased by 8.

‘It’s a shame that my physical durability didn’t increase…’

But still, this was more than enough as my trump card.

“We’re arriving at Carnea soon.”

As I released the Body Enhancement, Marjan’s voice rang out, and shortly after, the carriage came to a stop.

“Hoo…”

As expected, there were still a few days left before the start of the semester, so there wasn’t a single person in sight at the entrance.

“Please go ahead inside. I’ll park the carriage and follow.”

I asked back after hearing Marjan’s words.

“…The guards can’t come in with us, right?”

Even if it was acceptable for servants, guards capable of wielding force were strictly restricted from entering Carnea.

“Oh, I apologize, Sir Yujin. I forgot to mention it. I have also enrolled in Carnea this year.”

“…?”

As I widened my eyes in surprise, Lucia added an explanation.

“Master, Marjan was enrolled to keep an eye on the Saint.”

“Ah…”

While I thought it would be best not to get involved in the main story, there were two exceptions.

The first was, needless to say, the Imperial Princess, and the other was the Saint.

The reason was…

“Well, the Saint is a bit… innocent, right? I thought at least a minimum safeguard was necessary…”

Lucia was trying to soften her words, but in simpler terms, she was saying the Saint was a ‘blockhead.’

A seriously… big one.

…But that wasn’t the part that surprised me.

“…Marjan is younger than me?”

“Oh my.”

Lucia covered her mouth with her hand and widened her eyes, while Marjan’s face trembled as if she was deeply shocked.

“…S-Sorry… Sir Yujin… It’s because I… I look old for my age.”

“No, that’s not what I meant…”

Looking at Marjan’s expression, I felt extremely sorry.

‘Come to think of it…’

Upon taking a closer look at Marjan’s face, it was clear that, although I hadn’t noticed due to her confident demeanor and presence, there were indeed traces of youth left on her face.

“…Sorry.”

“No, Sir Yujin, there’s no need to apologize… It’s all my fault for not being able to escape the ravages of time… haha…”

…That manner of speaking and attitude was exactly the problem.

After briefly looking despondent, Marjan shook her head firmly and returned to her usual lively self.

“Anyway! Sir Yujin, Lady Lucia, I, Marjan, will carry out my duty to keep a proper watch over the Saint to the best of my abilities.”

I nodded.

“Right, and once we’re inside Carneia, you won’t be a guard anymore, so there’s no need to call yourself that.”

“Then what should I call you and the Lady?”

After pondering for a moment in response to Marjan’s question, I replied.

“Call me ‘senior.’”

There was no better title to be called by a younger student in the academy.

“H-How could I dare, as the future husband of Lady Lucia’s…”

“…Marjan?”

As Marjan tried to come up with an excuse to refuse, Lucia stepped forward and interrupted.

“The Master is ordering you.”

“…Ugh… Yes, Lady Lucia.”

Marjan, now subdued under Lucia’s pressure, responded with a humble attitude.

“…I-I’ll be in your care, Senior Yujin.”

Albus Singledore.

At first glance, he looked like some guy who would be drunk on beer at a local pub, but to sum him up, he was just below the top rank in the Carneia Academy hierarchy.

In other words, he was the vice principal of Carneia.

“Are you really sure… about this?”

Even Singledore, as imposing as he was, couldn’t casually speak to the young girl standing before him.

“Of course.”

The brown-haired girl answered with a bright smile.

“…Once again, I must tell you, hiding your identity and living like this won’t be easy.”

“Huhu. I appreciate your concern, but who do you think I am?”

“…That’s obvious. You are the Saint…”

Boom!

At that moment, the Saint, Lilith, slammed the desk and stood up.

“That’s right! I am Saint Lilith! The top student of Parthenon! The one who serves the Goddess closest! There’s no way someone like me could have her identity exposed!”

At the same time, Lilith’s unique ability seemed to activate, as the air around Singledore became noticeably fresher.

‘Sigh…’

…The problem was that due to her ability, her previously brown hair had reverted to its original deep pink color.

Considering she was already making mistakes like this, could she really keep her identity hidden until the ‘purification’ was complete?

Singledore clutched his throbbing forehead.

“…While I know well of your greatness, Saintess… the atmosphere of Parthenon and Carneia is completely different. I worry you might face some discomfort…”

“Huhu! I’ve anticipated as much! So, please don’t worry and just stamp the enrollment documents!”

Lilith, with her sparkling eyes, leaned in close.

Seeing those determined eyes, Singledore knew any further persuasion would be useless.

Letting out a deep sigh as he looked at the papers on the desk, Singledore stamped them.

“…Here they are. You can submit these to the admissions office.”

“Huhu! Thank you very much!”

Lilith, holding the documents to her chest, beamed as she hurriedly rushed out.

“…!”

Watching her go, Singledore called out.

“…Saintess!”

“W-What is it?”

Lilith responded, hiding the documents behind her back as if she thought he was trying to take them away.

Suppressing another sigh, Singledore pointed to his half-bald head.

“…Your hair is pink.”

“Huhu. That’s impossible. I made sure it was dyed properly… Huh?! When did it revert…”

Ssssk─

Lilith quickly poured her magic into the magic tool and turned her hair brown again.

“Hmm… It seems there was a slight issue with the tool. But thank you for pointing it out! Well then, I’ll be off now!… Oh? The door’s locked…”

“…It’s a pull door, not a push door.”

“Ugh…! I-I knew that! Well, goodbye for real this time!”

As Lilith ran off, trying to hide her flushed face, Singledore let out yet another sigh, wondering how many it had been today.

“…I’m really worried… truly…”
