"It is difficult to acquire new skills; you must put in a lot of effort to at least practice the fundantals—"
Bianca ca to a halt in her utterance when she noticed the skill scroll glowing.
Ding!—

I was taken aback by the new system interface.
!?
'Has the update been completed? But why didn't I receive the notification that the system had been updated, though?' I gave it so thought, but decided to ignore it for the ti being and concentrate on the skills section.
And as I noticed the new skill I had just acquired, a smile spread across my face.
Consequently, I clicked on it to find out more about it.
[Atomic Slash★]
—It enables the user to execute nurous strikes with incredible speed in a single motion.
***
The ★ appears to represent my mastery of the skill; the greater my mastery, the more stars.
"That's pretty convenient," I muttered, turning my gaze to Bianca, who was staring at in disbelief.
"...."
"She is questioning her entire life, seeing how easily you were able to acquire that skill," Irethiel remarked after witnessing Bianca's expression.
"I'm pretty used to this type of reaction by now," I telepathically replied to Irethiel.
"N-No, How is that even possible? Did you pick up that skill with a single glance?" Bianca inquired, puzzled.
Before I could respond to Bianca, Ziona quickly approached and took the scroll from .
"Give it to , let try it as well," Ziona said, taking the skill scroll from .
For a few monts, she stared at the scroll from top to bottom.
"Huh? Why is the scroll empty? Was it a one-ti use?" Ziona inquired confused.
"Let see it," Kevin said as he asked Ziona for the scroll.
And as Ziona passed the scroll to him, Kevin examined it for a few monts and he couldn't find anything on it as well.
They both turned to look at Bianca in a perplexed manner, requesting an explanation.
Bianca snapped out of her stupor when she felt their gazes.
"N-No, it is not a one-ti use scroll. As I previously stated, you must understand the basic fundantals of the skill in order to acquire it," Bianca clarified.
She then looked at and inquired.
"How did you learn that skill without even understanding its fundantals?"
"...I'm not sure, I guess I just have a good mory," I lied as if it were natural.
"...."
'That's not sothing you can achieve just because you have a good mory,' Bianca thought to herself, but she decided not to probe any further.
"... Nevertheless, I congratulate you on learning a new skill. I believe it will complent well with your affinity for electricity," Bianca said with a smile and exited the training hall because the class ti was already over.
"...It's so unfair to be strong, handso, and smart all at the sa ti," Kevin remarked.
Ziona just stood there, expressionless, for a few seconds after hearing Kevin's remark.
"...Well, you're not entirely wrong. However, nothing in this world was ever fair, "Ziona muttered as she walked out of the training ground with Ares.
"At least he's no longer a prince," Kevin murmured as he followed them.

As we arrived at our next class's classroom, we discovered that it was deserted.
"...."
"Ah, Ares, you've finally arrived; what took you so long?" Livia appeared unexpectedly behind us and greeted as I entered the classroom.
I think she's been waiting for to get back from my advisor training class.
"Are there no classes today, too?" I inquired of Livia.
"Yes, today's classes have also been canceled," Livia replied.
"...I see; where have the others gone?" I inquired.
"They're waiting for us in the Archery practice area," Livia responded.
"OK, let's get going there as well," I said as I walked away.
And while we were on our way to the Archery range, Livia suddenly spoke.
"...I heard what happened,"
"Oh, you're talking about being disowned?" I inquired.
"...Yes, and also about your fiancee," Livia responded.
"...."
"And what about my fiancée?" My brow furrowed as I inquired.
"The head of the rchant association just announced the termination of your engagent to his daughter," Livia responded.
!?
"...Is that true? " I enquired as I quickly pulled out my phone to call Silvia.
Her father might have announced it without getting her permission, and knowing Silvia's personality, I know she wouldn't be taking this well.
As I pondered to myself, I phoned her.
However, I was unable to reach her because her phone was reportedly off.
"...."
"A-And that's not even the worst part," Livia exclaid abruptly.
When I heard her, I ca to a halt in my steps and turned to face her.
"...Can you explain what you an?" I asked, my face expressionless since I have a bad feeling about what she was about to say.
"H-He then announced her engagent to your brother Aretrus," Livia remarked with apprehension.
"...."
"Ah, sh*t!" I exclaid, as I hurriedly dialed Aegis
[Hello! What's going on, Ares? I heard—
When Aegis lifted her phone, she imdiately began to speak, but her sentence was cut off.
[I don't have ti for this! When did you last speak with Silvia?] I asked.
[Huh? Y-Yes, we just spoke a few minutes ago following the announcent of the termination of your engagent] Aegis responded.
[I see, did she say anything?] I queried.
[Yeah, she said she would pay you a visit at the academy. She might be there soon if my assumption is correct.] Aegis replied.
Beep!—
As soon as I heard her, I abruptly hung up the phone with Aegis and hurried over to the hospital where Aretrus was getting treatnt.
Because if my suspicions are accurate,...Aretrus' life would be in danger.
Even though I couldn't give a damn about his life, but if he passed away right now, it wouldn't be good for .
