C-A 2: Getting used to a new life.
clack clack
In the large dining room, all that can be heard is the sound of the tableware clanging against each other. No one speaks, no one makes unnecessary noises.
So this is how it feels like to live in a noble household. Utterly boring.
''Alia.''
''...''
''Alia?''
Oh, it's .
''Yes, father?''
''Can you tell what happened?'' The relatively good-looking middle-aged man with the sa blonde hair and blue eyes as asks.
''...I was just feeling down. Nothing happened, Father.''
''I see. If you have any trouble, just tell .''
''Yes, father.''
Well, at least this man seems to be a good father, both from the ga and from what I've seen so far.
''Or, if you don't want to tell him, then co to .'' The woman sitting opposite speaks up.
''Yes, mother.''
Alia's mother in the ga wasn't ntioned much. But I guess this is where most of her beauty ca from, with how beautiful her mother is.
Hah...
It's been a day since I've possessed this body. Getting used to this new environnt was needlessly tiring and boring. There is virtually zero entertainnt here. On top of that, my interactions with Alia's family were and still are awkward, mainly because I have no idea how to treat them.
So, I decided to just gloss them over. The only thing I'm caring about right now is how to get stronger. Now, there are three main ways to do that in the ga, one is leveling up, two is acquiring skills, and three is acquiring equipnt.
Leveling up is straightforward, one just needs to defeat other creatures to gain experience to get to the next level, and your stats, except for INT, will increase along with it.
Skills can be either bought or acquired by fulfilling certain conditions. The main source of skills is from the shop, and therefore, skill points are very important as there are only a few ways to earn them. Fortunately, Alia wasn't a fool. She chose her skills quite well, in fact. I just need to improve this body and its skills further.
And finally, equipnt. These are called 'nad items' in this world, and they are scattered all over the maps. I jotted down the ones that are easy to get, and ones that are broken already, so I just need to get them when I can. Most of them are in the academy or the evil forest, so are at other places.
I personally would love to have sothing like the absolute barrier necklace, or the gauntlet of severance first... But they're hard to get right now.
So until my admission into the academy, I want to master the control of this body and its skills, and maybe level up so more by going on expeditions. The first major enemy won't appear until the opening ceremony anyway.
Phew... It's ti to test this body.
''Please excuse .'' I stand up and bow lightly before walking out of the dining room.
''Hap!''
My sword rips through the air with a loud whistle and runs smoothly through the tal pillar, slicing it in half as easily as if it were butter.
''Hah... Ridiculous.'' I mutter, staring at the rolling piece of tal on the floor.
I've never touched a sword before, and this is what I can do after trying it out just a few tis... Well, it's muscle mory, I suppose. And not to ntion, Alia is literally the head of the first-year students - the strongest of them freshn, counting in both the Magic Departnt and the Knight Departnt.
''Let's try fire magic next.''
I aim my hand at the still-standing part of the pillar and will my magic. Instantly, a flock of fire appears in front of my palm, it rapidly inflates until it reaches the size of a basketball.
Strangely, it doesn't feel hot.
boom
When I think about launching it, the fireball imdiately runs away from my hand to the pillar, blasting it with a small explosion. It managed to lt a bit of the tal, which is comndable, considering that the skill is only at level five.
''...''
Let's make a fla sword.
''Oh.''
The blade of my sword suddenly catches fire, burning ferociously. And how much MP does it cost to maintain this again? This is one of the many inconveniences of the system - not providing enough information. It's not a wonder why they made an entire subject about exploring the system.
Well, considering the state of the system's creator, this does make sense, I guess.
Either way, let's try so more moves. I've always dreamt of being able to wield a fla sword after all.
''Hah... I really want to show her this.''
Roughly two weeks after my possession, and I'm sowhat used to this life. That doesn't an that it is exciting. No, not at all. A routine of training, eating, studying, sleeping, repeated day after day... It's boring as hell. Well, at least I can go on an expedition tomorrow. Can't wait to test my skills on those monsters.
''...My Lady?'' Nydia's voice sounds behind .
''What?'' I turn away from the nightly cityscape out the window.
''Can I ask what is on your mind?''
''Hah.'' I sneer. ''Getting quite bold, aren't you?''
Hearing that, Nydia gulps nervously, but doesn't seem to be as scared as she used to be when she thought I got mad during the past two weeks.
''I'm sorry if I overstepped any boundaries.'' She bows her head.
''No, it's fine.'' I reply nonchalantly.
'''' ... ''''
What? You still want to speak?
''Nydia.''
''Yes, My Lady.''
''Do you like boys or girls?''
''H-Huh?!''
What are you getting flustered for? You literally asked for it.
'''' ... ''''
''I-I think girls... My Lady.''
Figured. She's not a heroine for nothing. And fortunately for both Nydia and I, this world generally allows sa-sex marriages. Maybe I'll marry Aurora in this world. Saves the hassle.
''Is that so.'' I reply nonchalantly. ''What type of girls do you like?''
''Eh...'' Nydia ponders again. ''I... Would like a bird girl just like , maybe, heheheh...'' She scratches her cheek. ''How about you, My Lady?''
''I have a person I like already.'' I reply.
''Really?! Can you tell who it is??''
I would love to, but she's not in this world. I don't want to sound like I have an imagined crush.
''Go fetch so tea.''
''Eh~'' Nydia pouts, but still obeys my order.
But a bird girl, huh... I wonder what Aurora would look like with a pair of wings.
''...''
gulp
That might be really hot.
