Chapter 5: Antique I
Translator: J_Squared Editor: J_Squared
The morning passed in the blink of an eye. Swordsman Pero only focused his attention on those who had elental affinities. On the other hand, he let people such as rlin and Anson who had no elental affinities do as they like.
Swordsman Pero clapped his hands to announce the end of the morning swordsmanship practice. So people already stood up and started to leave.
Macy appeared excited. It seed that she yielded good results under the guidance of Swordsman Pero today. Macy had an eye contact with Anson who greeted her sowhat awkwardly as she ca to et rlin. “Young Lady Macy!”
“Humph.”
Macy ignored Anson and turned around. It seed she was not fond of him.
“Let’s go, we shall hurry back.”
Macy took rlin by arm and quickly left the church. Outside, Moss had long waited on the carriage.
“rlin, see you in the afternoon!”
From behind, Anson made a strange face at rlin before getting into his carriage and leaving the church.
In the carriage, Macy stared fiercely at rlin and gasped out in anger. “rlin, I’ve told you many tis not to hang out with Anson. He always influences you to fool around...”
It seed that Macy was not fond of Anson at all and regarded him as a bad influence on rlin. However, judging from their interaction earlier, Anson seed more fearful than angry of her.
“Why does Anson seem to be afraid of you?” asked rlin.
“Didn’t Anson tell you?”
Macy looked suspiciously at rlin, but soon, she seed to realize sothing. She nodded and said, “I understand, it must be too shaful for Anson to say.”
A few seconds later, Macy raised her fist angrily. “I found out the last ti Anson took you to fool around with so won, so I secretly taught him a painful lesson. However, it seems that he didn’t learn from experience. It’s about ti for another reminder.”
rlin was speechless looking at the way Macy was pleased with herself. Perhaps his sister had violent tendencies! However, it was no wonder Anson was intimidated of her considering the frightening power Macy possessed.
The carriage kept bumping along the road, and it was feeling rather dull inside the carriage. After a long while, rlin asked Macy hesitantly, “Macy, how did you sense the Elents?”
Macy lifted her head in surprise, but she still considered his question seriously before whispering, “It’s really simple. I can sense it when I close my eyes, but I can only sense the Fire Elents. I can’t see or touch it, but I’m able to sense it. I can even sense when they gradually enter my body. Later, I can gather them into a powerful force when I finally accumulate enough of them!”
rlin nodded slightly. He quietly closed his eyes and try to feel it the way that Macy explained, but he could not sense the slightest thing. Perhaps elental affinity was indeed innate. There was no way to change it. The people without elental affinity was not possible to sense the Elents.
rlin’s plan of becoming an Elental Swordsman fell through.
Not long after, the carriage arrived at the Wilson Castle. The butler had already prepared a hearty lunch. There was a lamb that was roasted to perfect golden yellow that gave off strong aty aroma.
However, rlin had no appetite and only ate a little.
Macy, on the other hand, ate with a gusto. When she finally devoured the whole lamb, she patted her belly satisfactorily. She leaned back on the seat and glanced at rlin before speaking in a worried tone, “rlin, I’m skipping etiquette class this afternoon to practice sword in the church. You’ll go to the class in Moss’s carriage, but you must co back before night falls. Don’t you dare go fooling around with that bad influence Anson again! Otherwise, hehe, you know the consequences! Father specifically asked to keep an eye on you before he leaves!”
rlin nodded slightly at Macy’s threat. It seed that the forr rlin was always sort of half-baked.
Macy left the castle soon after. rlin felt the weather was getting colder, hence he went upstairs to fetch himself a thick coat before returning downstairs to get into Moss’s carriage.
In the carriage, rlin rubbed his temple at his problem. He completely had no idea that he was to attend an etiquette class in the afternoon. This showed that his mory loss was actually quite severe.
Fortunately, he had Moss. He was a good person. Moss had not much to say in the carriage and fulfilled his duty to send rlin to the class.
rlin got out of the carriage. In front of his eyes was a three-story building with a rusty iron fence at the entrance. An old gatekeeper curled up in the corner seed to be dozing off, his eyes half-squinting. However, he would open the iron fence as long as soone arrived.
“Young Master rlin’s here unusually early today.”
The old man who guarded the door was wrapped in a broken coat, his face had turned red in the cold wind. He greeted rlin familiarly.
Due to rlin’s mory loss, he could not rember the old man’s na. He only nodded and smiled.
It was empty inside, so rlin headed for the small building. The creaky floorboard squeaked as he stepped on the wooden stairs as if his weight was too much of a burden.
The walls next to the stairs were painted with so colorful murals of characters and scenery of various quality. Even he who was not involved in the art world would notice that so of these murals were no different from graffiti.
rlin ca to a few empty spacious rooms as he loitered aimlessly on the second floor. There were so instrunts such as tambourines and organs, so these should be the place for music lessons.
“Hey, rlin, what are you doing there? We don’t have a music lesson, but a history lesson for today.”
rlin turned his head around at the familiar voice. It was the red-haired Anson.
Anson grabbed rlin and brought him to the third floor, all the while acting mysterious and winked his eyes at rlin. “Co on, we should hurry so we get good seats. I heard that we have a new history teacher today. A really beautiful one. I’m really looking forward to seeing her!”
rlin was unsure where to go so he followed Anson all the way to a spacious room on the third floor.
There were already more than a dozen young n and won dressed in gorgeous costus seated in the room. People gathered in a small group and chatted gaily. When rlin and Anson arrived, a fat man sitting in the front row waved frantically at their direction.
“Good job, Gutt. You got us such good seats. You’ve always been the most proactive every ti we have a beautiful teacher.”
Anson was all smiles when he greeted the little fatty.
