[Eon's POV: ]
"We've co a long way, Celes."
[{ That we have, master. }]
After the class ended with my team's victory that I couldn't see with my own eyes… a lot of things had happened.
'Teachers praised the remaining students on the battlefield, they talked about how they had done a good job, and then, all of them moved to where we- the ones who were defeated during the battle- had transferred to.'
The mont I was transported to the place where the rest of the students were, Carla ca out of nowhere and punched in my stomach… and yes, it was painful.
'She did not like what I did over there. She wanted to fight and the rest genuinely. But after being eliminated by a gunshot that ca out of nowhere, she was angry and extrely upset.'
Sa went for Xlor, Luna, Prince Alph, (Misha), and Hide. Even Ezra ca and shouted at that what I did was unfair as Zoe simply watched all this and giggled from the side with Quin.
'Thankfully, aside from Carla, no one else hit or shouted more than Ezra did."
They were upset but that was a battle and they were fairly eliminated. It wasn't my fault that they couldn't avoid a sudden attack from an enemy.
'They lost since they had never expected there could be an ambush where the attack might hit them even before their unique senses could detect them or their skills and artifacts could trigger their protection feature.'
They were caught off guard, and that was the reason they fell. It was sa as an assassination, they were killed by an attack from an enemy they were never expecting.
'Nox had taken down many of the people from Zoe's side as well through this technique before Gabriel took him down.'
He was an assassin under Rein and she had trained him herself so he knew how to use his unique technique that could even pass through my basic detection senses.
'It was simple. I did what I needed to for the sake of victory.'
And on a battlefield, as they all know by now, things like these are pretty common.
"Do you rember when we first t in that cave, Celes?"
The classes have ended for the day now, so we are back to our dorm room.
Rein is sleeping, it's nightti, and… the moon is pretty today.
[{ Yes, master. If it weren't for you, I might not be here. }]
"We t by coincidence at that ti. I simply wanted a shelter to spend the night away from the monsters of the great forest?"
[{ It was fate, master. }]
"We can call it fate as well, yes. But, it was still by chance… if I had not been able to defeat that spider creature, if that cave didn't have that net and those red bloodstones, if it wasn't for the circumstances, we wouldn't have t Celes."
[{ That… is true as well. }]
After I got separated from mom and dad and fell into the forbidden great forest of Kamut, it was perhaps also fate that I was able to survive all those things at that young age.
'Surviving against the attack of a flaming boar, fighting creatures several tis stronger than , hiding in small places, observing things that were simply beyond my own imagination…'
I saw countless things in the great forest and I experienced countless more things when I was there.
A large part of my survival experience ca from my previous life's experiences, but I still wouldn't have survived that hell if it wasn't for Celestine, my partner familiar.
'If it weren't for my eyes that helped multiple tis in that place, I would have long died as well… sa with the storage origin skill that I obtained in the forest.'
These skills were an Important part of my own self now, but without them, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have made it out of that forest.
'Thinking back… I've experienced quite a bit of things.'
Fighting those Ants, running from that Ent, eting that certain white snake mother, eting those golden deers, and eting Fern.
eting the ancient willow, going forward, seeing those smiles turn into a corrupt being and almost getting killed by them, only to end up eting the person that now holds the highest respect in my heart.
'Learning from her, learning about her, and learning about things that I would never have known if it wasn't for her…'
I can certainly attribute eting her with Fate as well, but, it all started from eting Celes.
'I t my master, my grandma. I lost her, but obtained a Responsibility that I have to carry for my lifeti, and, a sister that… defeated in the last monts of the battle we had earlier today.'
eting Rein, eting back my family, eting my younger brother Alf and elder sister Carla… as well as the beautiful life that ca into the world thanks to my existence… my precious jewel.
'Even before coming to the academy, we have been through a lot of things.'
We fought demons and demon summoners that give up their humanity for the sake of destruction of this nature.
We saw holy and divine spells, we heard stories of the elders that have spent a lifeti with their partners before getting together before people that hold a great position in this world.
We have been through quite a lot of things and now that the first academic year in this academy is coming to a close… thinking back… this new life that I coincidentally obtained was surely no simple one.
'I have parents that adore , an adorable little angel that will soon hold a special place in this world, I have another pretty little sister that doesn't hesitate to slice my gut in half, and I have an elder sister that constantly tries to improve herself to reach the honourable goal she has.'
I even have friends now…
Tia, the troublemaker fairy that loves smutty romantic novels. Quinny, the unique friend of ours that didn't even know the common language of this world when we t her for the first ti. We have The royals and nobles, and we have simple friends like Lizzy and Luna that are nothing simple in many ways.
[{ It's a pretty night tonight, master. }]
"It sure is, right?"
I never really thought about it but… being part of the student council was a good decision.
'The headmaster who ca out of nowhere one day and just forced this position on the two of us while also losing a certain part of land that will soon have our first Ho in this world.'
If we weren't in the student council, I don't think we would have experienced many… many things that we went through in these recent months.
Be it the first war against the evil cultists in Lakr, or the grand conference and the happenings after that.
Knowing the president and Cradle has also been an honour… and though we have had our differences, I want both of them to be part of my team in the future…
'Thinking about it now, the two of them won't be around during the second and third year of our academy life anymore.'
This was their last year in the academy and soon, they will have to leave.
'We don't know where they will be going after this or what they will do, but, if possible, I want them.'
Both of them.
We still have countless things that we need to do and having them with us will make many things quite a lot easier than what it could be without them.
'Then there's my house…'
Wisdom Phoenix.
'For what I want to do in the future, staying at the top is an absolute necessity.'
I'll do whatever it takes to keep it at the top since if I fail to do that even for one of our sesters… what I want to do before leaving this academy will not be possible.
'Yes we have been through a lot already. And many of those things weren't really that simple.'
However, we still have countless things that we have to take care of.
Finishing the first main exams, then the long vacation and the break that we needed so desperately, dealing with all the complicated things that we have yet to even start… We have to do a lot of things going forward.
'It will soon be sixteen years since I've been in this world.'
But, there's still so ti left for that.
"What are you two doing… yawn~… outside?"
Rein walked out in her loose robes. Her pretty eyes still had an abundance of sleep and fatigue left in them.

"We were just about to head in, dear. Let's go. It's starting to get hot out here."
"Yawn~… yeah."
Looking at her like this, I really scored a good one.
'It was fate as well, perhaps.'
From the eting in that forest to fighting that evil spirit, from getting engaged to fighting the evil cultists on a battlefield together.
'From presenting before a council of Monarchs in the grand conference, to making a mountainous replica of this very island for the festival.'
We have been through quite a bit in these last few years.
"Yawn~~. Do you wanna-."
"You're sleepy. Let's just sleep."
"Haaaa…"
But many of them were fun monts of relief and joy.
Many of them were warm monts of bliss and happiness as well.
It wasn't all that bad, actually.
We certainly had fun with a lot that we have been through as well…
