Happy Reading~
===========
Don’t know why, but I unconsciously showed my small smile.
As long as I live, I don’t expect anyone to care about me.
I thought, maybe I should have some friends?
And now, I can’t help but change my mind.
"You are finally awake! I’m glad you’re okay!" said the Saintess, unceremoniously starting to hug me.
Don’t know the reason, but I don’t have a problem letting this woman continue to hug me.
For me, what this woman did was normal.
"By the way, I think you are getting stronger." Liliana commented, unable to help but feel surprised.
She didn’t hope, didn’t know how I could improve my strength.
In Liliana’s mind, was it possible for the Orange color talent to reach the middle layer Inner Core stage?
Of course, it was impossible for an Orange stage talent expert to reach this level.
"I was lucky. While I was exploring the ruins, I discovered something. And thanks to all this, I was able to reach the middle layer."
"I see... You are truly amazing. In 2 weeks you have reached this level." praised Liliana, admitting that I was no less than a talent on the Green stage.
Normally, many talents above the Green stage could reach the Inner Core stage within a few months.
Maybe, if given more time, sooner or later they could reach the top layer?
Who knows?
"Noah? Are you awake?" without realizing it, I saw a woman and a man right in front of the treatment room door.
It’s true, these two people are none other than Ian and Siena.
Initially, they intended to meet me earlier.
But unfortunately, they had no choice but to restrain themselves.
After all, the place where I am right now has a woman.
It could say, this woman, she was the most influential woman in the empire.
In the future, it is possible for this woman to become very famous.
"You guys... Come here. What’s wrong?" I asked, feeling confused about what was happening.
Don’t know why, but I think the reason why they are silent is because of the Saintess.
If it weren’t for the Saintess, it would be impossible for them not to approach me.
And that’s right, a moment after I said my sentence.
Ian and Siena, they decided to approach me.
Unexpectedly, I heard Ian’s whispering voice right in my ear.
"Noah, why don’t you say you recognize the Student Council President? You’re so lucky!"
’This man… What do you think I am? Well... He wasn’t wrong either. Liliana and I had known each other when I first entered the academy.’ I thought, unable to help but try to ignore Ian’s words.
From the start, Liliana and I didn’t know each other.
But thanks to my practice, we can actually connect with each other.
Still, I don’t regret my actions at all when I got to know a woman as amazing as Liliana.
I’m grateful, happy. If it weren’t for Liliana, I don’t know what I could have done.
At most, my talent in magic couldn’t progress this fast.
Maybe it’s true, every time I’m in a relationship with someone.
Of course, it was impossible for me not to be indifferent towards them.
But Liliana is different, she is my savior.
Every time I practice, she always gives me lessons on various basic and intermediate spells.
Maybe because of that, I felt comfortable when I was with Liliana.
Likewise Aisha, I think she is an attractive woman.
"Hm? Who brought these fruits for me?" I asked, absently looking at the basket of apples near the table I was at.
For a moment, Liliana’s expression couldn’t help but suddenly turn sluggish.
"Do not be surprised. The person who gave you this fruit is none other than the princess."
"Oh..." don’t know what the reason was, but I relentlessly continued to act as if nothing had happened.
I thought, is it possible for the princess to give me something like a basket full of fruit?
’Did she come to visit me? No, that’s impossible. There’s no way the princess will come to visit me. After all, I have done something inappropriate to the princess.’ I thought, endlessly thinking it would be impossible for the princess to come visit me.
In the end, I had kissed the princess’s lips without asking her permission.
If this was known to other people, they would definitely think the same as me.
Therefore, it is not strange for me to behave like this.
"Aren’t you surprised?"
"No. Should I care about this matter?"
"Well… You’re right. But Noah, don’t you want to know the results of the inter-class hunting test?" not wanting to ask any further, Liliana, she decided to change the topic.
For now, Liliana, she intends to tell me the results of the interclass exams.
Of course, I immediately agreed to what Liliana said.
"Tell me. Did we, class E, successfully pass this exam?"
"Hehe~ Not only did you pass, you were also awarded second place in all classes."
"Eh? Second place? Us? How come?" finally, I couldn’t help but show my surprised reaction.
In my opinion, is it possible for class E to be ranked second?
Supposedly, if I remember E class can only hunt above 100 monsters.
And since this woman said we were ranked second, I couldn’t help but ask.
"Look at this."
"What’s this? Pearl balls?"
"No. This is a recording of each student’s hunt."
As if realizing what happened, I unconsciously dripped sweat on my forehead.
’Damn... Could it be that the academy’s watch is to record every trace of the students?’
And sure enough, what I thought really happened.
"As expected of my friend. You are very strong. You can fight a monster like a Griffon without having to be helped by anyone else." praised Ian, knowing that I would definitely pass this test.
From the first time he met me, he knew I was a hard worker.
With that alone, it is possible that I can reach second place.
’Thank goodness... I’m glad the footage from the battle against the Minotaur wasn’t recorded. And also, I should be grateful that my struggle against demons is non-existent.’ even so, I still feel like I should be grateful.
If the results of my fight against the Minotaur were recorded, I didn’t know what to do.
At worst, my name in the academy and the empire would inevitably become very famous.
But luckily, I guess the academy did this to not expose me.
However, when I fought against the Minotaur I was still wearing the watch from the academy.
With this alone, I know they decided to keep my fight a secret.
"Ian is right. I didn’t expect you to hide your talent. Noah, did you keep your true strength a secret?" Siena asked, trying to dig out a little information about me.
She was curious, wanting to know if I was really an Inner Core stage student?
If so, why am I fighting against a peak fourth rank monster?
With that alone, it is enough to make anyone not believe that I am an Inner Core stage student.
"..." for a moment, I unconsciously fell silent from where I was.
Don’t know why, but I can’t say anything about this secret of mine.
If I open my mouth, I’m sure there’s no way they can keep my secret.
"What do you mean? I was just lucky. If it wasn’t for this monster being injured, I would have died at the hands of this creature."
"Right... I remember Griffin was injured from the start. Looks like you were really lucky." luckily, Siena, she thought I was just down on my luck.
If this monster wasn’t injured, it would be impossible for me to win this fight.
Worst of all, I definitely couldn’t help but get pierced by the claws of this monster.
...
"What do you think? I told you he was attractive, didn’t I?"
"Emperor… Did you come just for this child?" asked the academy principal, constantly showing an annoyed expression.
In the old man’s mind, he wanted to know why the Emperor had come to visit the academy.
If the Emperor had come to ask for something, why would he make small talk?
Especially, judging by the way the Emperor made small talk like he was threatening.
"That’s right. Let’s stop this nonsense talk. I came to ask you to erase the evidence from the island. Erase all traces of the demon race."
"Are you serious? Can’t this be used as evidence?"
"No. The demon race are not stupid creatures. Since the hero appeared, the demon race has decided to move more aggressively. We cannot continue to remain silent. Sooner or later a war will definitely occur."
"War huh... After 200 years, we have to restart the war against the demon race."
Not knowing what else to do, this old man, he could only accept the request from the Emperor.
He knew, it was impossible for the demon race to be persuaded using this evidence.
If this were the past, he was sure the demon race would prefer to retreat.
But now it’s different, just after the hero was born.
To the demon race, the hero, he was a threat to every demon.
If he was not destroyed, they would have to be destroyed a second time.
"That’s how it is..." unfortunately, before the Emperor could move from where he was.
He remembered something, he remembered about the fight when I fought the demon race.
"Ah, also don’t let anyone touch this boy. He is our valuable asset."
"Leave it to me. I also have no intention of letting other people disturb this boy. Because, he is a boy who was recommended directly by you."
