It was night.
Rewen had dinner with his family. His mother, as usual, kept on talking with Vinia. He could see that she (Vinia) was already very tired, having a forced smile on her face.
'Co to think of it, I don't know a thing about her.' Rewen was not thinking about her goals or what she does but her personality. While chatting with her, he found her rather quiet and reserved but he knew that it was only a part of her personality. 'After all, who will open up to soone she t just today? It's fine though. I'm pretty sure she too sees this as a marriage of convenience for the ti being.'
"Rewen? Ah, Rewen." His mother called him.
"Hm? What?"
"The guest room is dirty so why don't you sleep-"
"Hold up. I'll sleep in the living room." Rewen interrupted before she could finish.
"Yes. I was going to tell you that. Why did you interrupt ? Could it be you were thinking sothing else?" Mrs. Klofar asked with a teasing smile.
Rewen rolled his eyes and continued eating.
"Tsk, this boring guy. Where was I, Vin?"
"You were talking about how you and your brother t" Vinia had dropped eyebrows but still responded.
"Yes. We were talking about and Eldest Brother t Rewen's father. Back then, he was still very young but had a face full of beard. He looked funny but not unpleasant. Rewen had inherited his beard genes from his father because he already had the beard outline when he was fourteen."
Having listened to her story for over hundred tis, Rewen was not interested in staying in the chair after finishing his dinner. He got up.
"I'm going outside. Don't lock the main door."
"Co back quick."

Cracking his knuckles, Rewen stared at the trees in front of him.
A palm-sized was thrown towards the trees like a pitcher.
*Boom*
Another!
*Boom*

Active skills: Variant Fireball Lvl. 1 [5/20]

He used the [Variant Fireball] a total of two tis and used up 10 MP. "It's not that hard to level up my skill if I have so Mana Replenishing Potions. They cost a bit but it's worth it."
He had a few questions so he contacted his cousin Denny.

"Lost items huh. I'll see to it tomorrow." With that in mind, he returned ho.

Rewen found the main door open but found that the lights were out. He tapped his leg on the floor two tis and the lights returned. One thing he found really amusing is the chanism of electricity in this world. 'Unlike the laws of physics on Earth, there was no such thing as physics in this world. I an, there is physics but it's not realized yet. The lights in this world function differently.'
Just as he was another step, he saw Vinia coming down the stairs in her pajamas.
"So it's you" Rubbing her half-opened eyes, she said softly.
"Sorry to wake you up."
Vinia nodded, then turned around to leave when Rewen called out.
"Hey. Sorry for my mother. I know you already hate her but I give my word that it will get better."
"I don't hate her." She firmly denied. "It's just I am not used to a person like her. Her interest in overwheld ." Aside from her grandfather, she didn't have any close relatives. It was the first ti that she had t soone who showed this much genuine care and interest in her aside from her grandfather. "Although it was a bit annoying"
Rewen smiled. "That's good. By the way, the General Knights Recruitnt Group - A Exam is just around the corner. Are you preparing?"
Vinia was about to nod with a smile when her face stiffened.
"What's wrong?" He inquired.
"Today was supposed to be the last day the forms for the exam registration were given out. I-I" Biting on her lips, she didn't want to continue.
"Don't worry, I have the form." He took out two papers.
"Hn? Why do you have them?" Vinia approached him. Her face that turned gloomy seconds ago had relief written all over her face.
Rewen shrugged. "I thought that trying to beco a knight counts as an aim. I can't possibly stay in the ho doing nothing. I just want to do sothing worthwhile. I brought one for myself and the other for Sam but now that I think about it, I never ntioned this to him. I don't know if he wants to beco a Knight or not so it's better if you take it."
[ 5 Favorability]
Vinia took one of the two papers and had no expression on her face. "Thank you. If you are serious about the exam, I'll help you." She bowed and walked away.
Looking at her back, Rewen let out a smile. 'How mysterious. If I didn't receive the reminder, I couldn't possibly have known that her liking for increased. Also, system. What's with this?'
[Isn't it nice?]
'It's neither good nor bad.'
He went to his room and fell asleep soon.
When he woke up in the morning, he logged out.
***
Rewen took off his helt and laid on his bed. It was currently 5:02 p.m.
"I should finish my daily missions, then I'll go to the Club." This was his plan for the rest of the day.
*Knock* *Knock*
"It's open."
The door opened and Denny entered the room.
Rewen send a questioning look towards.
"Svety is here."
"Why now? Nevermind, bring her in." Rewen's mood was not good hearing her na. If Rewen had to na soone whom he hated the most other than the devil woman, then it would be Svety. She left an extrely bad taste in his mouth regarding won. So much so that he thought that it would be better to remain single for the rest of his life.
Seconds later, Svety entered the room.
She was wearing a blue one-piece dress. Contrary to her beautiful dress, her face looked very pale. With a single look, Rewen could tell she had cried so ti ago.
"What's wrong? Did you cry?" He couldn't imagine anything that could make her cry.
Svety's body jolted and she suddenly grasped his hand. "Rewen, you have to help . I'm being dragged down with you." Her voice was full of panic and fear.
"What happened exactly?" Rewen asked, still confused.
"Read this." Svety took out a paper and handed it over to him.

Greetings, Mr. Klofar.
I had hoped to et as an amazing man myself but work prevented from doing so. Who I am doesn't matter. Think about what you can do at this point. Still confused? Read the next part.
Your girlfriend Svety currently has a magic explosive of sorts inside her. It may sound hard to believe but trust , if I wanted to - I could right now destroy the entire Travil Town within seconds using the explosive inside her.
I think it goes without saying but take this as a request from this poor man. Don't try anything funny. I have placed a tracker as well as a microphone inside her. You also cannot inform anyone other than you and your girlfriend. If soone even overhears mistakenly let's not complete the sentence.
Why am I doing this, you ask? There are two main reasons.
One. You crossed paths with our n.
Two. I want to see the depths of your abilities.
Question: How would I see the depth of your abilities?
Answer: Oh it's nothing. Fight so tough n I send and you'll be done. Every ti you defeat my n, the next n would be stronger than the previous. This would help you in your self-developnt. I'll contact you through a one-way mail and tell you where to go and what to do.
Question: How long will this last?
Answer: It depends on you. There is a ti limit however. You cannot take more than three days to defeat a group.
Question: How powerful would my n be?
Answer: At the beginning, there would be so Rank 1 Mages. Then as you defeat more and more of my n, I'll send you stronger n. Just like those Big Bosses in RPGs. Don't sweat up though. You aren't an RPG ga protagonist so I'll go easy on you. At most, you will fight a Rank 3.
Believe when I say this, I truly didn't intend to pick a fight with you. If possible, I wanted us to be friends. Well! I still hope to reconcile after all this.
Best of luck!
Regards,
X.
