Another year has passed, and I have been in this world for nine years.
With daily practice, his swordsmanship improved somewhat, but his magic remained stuck at a bottleneck...
I finally realized that it was impossible to break through the current predicament by just figuring things out on my own.
I need a teacher!
I know very well that I am not a genius, and neither is Anna...
Her magical skills are indeed far superior to mine, but she has also reached a bottleneck. This is not to say that Anna is not a genius.
In this environment, she had access to very few things...
I'm the same way; I've only read a few books, and my understanding of magic is practically nonexistent!
My biggest desire right now is to enter the academy for training!
Furthermore, I had the idea of taking Anna with me to the academy for training.
But the biggest dilemma right now is!
No money!
My family wasn't particularly wealthy either; our income came entirely from the bounties my father received for clearing monsters from the village.
Although the income was meager, it was enough to support me in attending the college.
but……
Where is Anna...?
I thought about work.
There's still a year before Anna enters the academy, which is more than enough time for her to earn tuition. As long as she works part-time, her living expenses shouldn't be a problem.
"Father! I still want to go to the academy..."
When I arrived at my parents' room, I got straight to the point and tried to discuss with them whether there was a way to pay for Anna's tuition.
"You already have Anna! And you're still so greedy..."
I didn't answer my father's question, but looked at my mother, hoping she could give me some advice.
"I want to take Anna with me!"
Upon hearing this, the father frowned slightly, but the mother seemed to have anticipated this, and her expression remained unchanged.
“Leon…you need to understand, our family isn’t as wealthy as you think…”
Just as I expected!
“I understand… So, Anna’s tuition… I plan to find a job for the rest of the year…”
The father hesitated for a while, clearly having some concerns, but he quickly reassured himself.
Have you decided which college you want to go to?
"Yalan Academy..."
Arlan College is one of the world's top colleges, with nearly 10,000 new students every year. It is located at the intersection of the two major countries of Naroland and Chisbia!
Carola City...
This city was jointly built by two major powers. It is said that they established this academy to resist the "sea tide".
The book doesn't provide detailed information about the "tidal bore," only stating that various monsters appear during it, which is the work of the Demon King! That's why it's called that!
Yalan Academy is the only academy that does not discriminate based on race, identity, or status...
Although it has a history of less than 50 years, it has gathered outstanding students and mentors from all walks of life, which is why Leon chose it.
It is said that there is more than one academy established by "ocean tides," and their origins seem to come from a distant eastern continent...
However, they are all called "Yalan Academy"...
"I'll try to make the connection for you, but I can't be sure if it will work out!"
My father used to be an adventurer. Although he did a lot of half-baked things, at least he had connections, which was much better than me wandering around alone.
...
About a week later.
I was sparring with my father when a carriage drove into the courtyard...
The carriage didn't look particularly luxurious, and a woman stepped out!
"woman?"
I have a feeling something terrible is going to happen...
My father suddenly seemed like a different person, and his attacks came at me like a tidal wave...
"Shinto style!"
This is Shinto-ryu, there's no mistake. I clearly promised I wouldn't use this kind of swordsmanship! Why!
I started to panic, wildly parrying my father's attacks with my wooden sword...
It was very fast, and its moves kept changing. The wooden sword was knocked away in one go.
"Oops!"
I have never seen a father like this before. It's as if he wants to kill me. I want to use magic to distance myself from him...
My father appeared behind me at a speed I couldn't even see!
Bang……
I felt a tremendous shock coming from the comfort area, and my vision went dark...
...
When I woke up, I found myself in a dark, cramped box...
Judging from the loud, rattling shaking, I must be on some kind of transportation...
"Was that the carriage from earlier?"
I'm not sure; my head feels heavy, and my vision is very dim, I can't see my surroundings clearly...
I tried to sit up, but found that I couldn't muster any strength at all...
Thinking back to my father's blow, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief!
"Thank goodness it's a wooden sword!"
"Are you awake?"
Just as I was sighing like this, a sweet voice came from in front of me, before I could even express my surprise.
With a whoosh...
"So bright!"
The whole room instantly became bright, so bright that I quickly closed my eyes...
...
After my eyes adjusted, I slowly opened them...
It was indeed inside the carriage, and the surrounding scenery was already clearly visible.
I noticed a woman sitting in front of me...
She wore a pink dress, her breasts were high and firm, and her fair skin was as clear and translucent as glass...
A pair of jewel-like eyes were full of spirit, ice-blue hair fell over her shoulders, and pointed ears peeked out from her hair.
"Elves?"
These words came to mind.
“Hello! My name is Leon Cabreen.”
I'll start by introducing myself, since that's a necessary step to start the conversation.
"Hmm... Does SEG really have such a polite child?"
"As expected, it's another woman Father knows!"
"I am also a child of a mother!"
"That's right! He's Felicia's son, so it's not surprising."
"call……"
They seemed to be my mother's friend, which immediately put me at ease!
If another Faith Hill were to appear, that would be a real problem!
"My name is Lili Marta... I look forward to working with you from today onwards!"
For some reason, her voice was very sweet, giving off a friendly, older sister vibe.
Please give me your guidance!
The window behind her had been opened, and light squeezed in through the narrow opening, no wonder it was dazzling.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, I reflected on what had just happened...
My father suddenly gave me a good beating and then threw me onto this carriage...
"Why?"
"This is supposed to be work, why did you knock me out!"
"Damn it, I wanted to say goodbye to Anna properly. Now that I've suddenly disappeared, she's probably frantically looking for me everywhere!"
It's all that half-baked father's fault. Couldn't he have just talked things out properly?
“Um! Miss Lilimarta…”
"Hmm...you should remove 'Miss' from the title, little Leon!"
"Um... Lili Marta, what did Father just say to you?"
I'll try asking her; she should know something.
"I don't know!"
Her answer was decisive; it was unclear whether she was deliberately concealing something or if her father genuinely hadn't said anything...
"Oh...I see."
I seemed somewhat disappointed, which is typical of that half-baked person.
I sat up stealthily and began to complain about my father.
"However, it seems a maid gave you a box!"
"Um……"
"Is it Sylvie? Or Anna?"
I was somewhat surprised as I took the box from Lilimarta.
The box was small and exquisite, looking as if someone had carefully decorated it...
I opened the box, and it looked like a letter?
The words "Sylvia" were written on it in big letters!
"It's Sylvie!"
Below the envelope is!
necklace!
"How could I forget something so important? I'm so awful!"
I picked up the necklace and put it on my chest. Without it, how could I go on...?
"Oh! Is this a token of love from your girlfriend?"
"She's not my girlfriend!"
"That's your wife?"
"..."
I was utterly speechless, wondering where she got her strange theory from...
I opened the letter in my hand...
The first sentence reads:
"My dearest, Master Leon. By the time you read this letter, I will probably be no longer alive..."
"ah……"
I practically stood up and yelled, staring incredulously at those few words…
