Amon's eyes slowly fluttered open, taking in the light around him.
As he beca more aware of his surroundings, he noticed three people standing around his bedside.
'Where am I?' He questioned groggily to himself.
Last he rembered, he had fainted after killing all of those....
His half-opened eyes suddenly opened with a shock, and he sat on his bed, panting at a rapid pace.
Without any care for where he was and who was around him, he quickly ran his eyes down his body.
Finding himself perfectly fine, he quickly ran his hands down his arms and legs, as if not believing his eyes until he felt them.
He let out a deep sigh.
'I-I'm fine.....so it was training.' He thought with relief.
He had sacrificed so much of his body in training, all upon the basis that it was "training" and he wouldn't lose anything in real life, even though he had no guarantee for that theory.
'Wait, real life..'
A realization suddenly struck him and his head quickly jolted to his side, only to find his sister, Elizabeth and an unknown person looking at him worriedly.
As his eyes t the warm hazel brown ones of his sister, he saw the emotions contained in her eyes finally burst.
Before he could speak, Katherine quickly ran upto him, before embracing him in a tight hug.
"You idiot!....there was no need for you to go that far." She complained, burying her head in his chest.
Taken aback by her sudden reaction, Amon lost his will to speak.
But even so, he felt a familial warmth creep up in his chest, making him smile lightly and rubbing her back with his hand.
Katherine did not move, as if enjoying the solace she found in his embrace.
Not minding it, his eyes flickered towards the other visitors.
As his eyes landed upon Elizabeth, he found her cheeks tainted red.
"Hey." He greeted while also tilting his head in confusion at her shyness.
Startled by his voice, she quickly composed herself and raised her head.
"Hey, you fainted at the grounds, so they carried you to the infirmary." She explained and Amon nodded along.
"I see."
Then, she gestured towards the unknown lady.
"As soon as your sister heard of the news, she and my sister quickly ran up here to check what happened."
Amon nodded again, understanding that the new person was her sister, before suddenly raising a question.
"Wait please, who inford my sister?" He asked and Katherine quickly freed herself from his hug.
"You see, and Alice here are best friends, so when you fainted, Elizabeth inford her sister through her watch, who in turn, inford ." She inford the whole situation.
At the ntion of Alice, his eyes quickly drifted towards Elizabeth's sister, finally getting a good look at her.
With long black lustrous hair and shining gray eyes, her beauty was on a level equal to Katherine's.
He finally recognized her from the novel.
Alice Snowcrest, the first daughter of the Snowcrest Dukedom.
Just like what Katherine had said, she was the elder sister of Elizabeth.
Furthermore, she was the second strongest in the third years, just behind Katherine.
She was also the president of the disciplinary committee in Eldergrove, making it not too strange for her to be the best friend of his sister.
Then, Amon's face turned into a deep frown.
Unfortunately, she died later on in the story when a dungeon incident happened with the first
years.
The incident prompted the student council and disciplinary committee to head inside, which also included Katherine and Alice.
Since his sister was never ntioned inside of the novel, he didn't know what happened to her.
But, Alice died protecting Elizabeth from a high ranked monster, thus also initiating the breakdown and withdrawal of the latter from the academy.
It was one of the worst incidents to go down in the history of Eldergrove, also giving a deep injury to its reputation.
Now, looking at Alice, Amon knew that he couldn't let her die.
Not only because of Elizabeth's position in the main cast, but also because of....
His eyes quickly travelled to the corner.
Katherine.
He couldn't predict how much of an effect it would have on his sister, but he did know now that since they were best friends, it would be anything but positive.
And not a small one as well.
He sighed deeply. The future was surely going to be tireso.
Noticing his sigh, Alice quickly spoke for the first ti. Her voice coming out sweet and
mature.
"Are you okay? You lost too much blood with that cut."
Amon quickly shook his head with a smile.
"No, not at all. I was just dozing off since I just woke up."
At his answer, Alice nodded politely.
Katherine quickly coughed, prompting him to turn his attention towards her.
"Anyways, why did you never tell that you had a [Blood] affinity!? For three years, you never showed interest in magic or even used your elent?" She questioned. 'Huuuh?' Amon bafflingly questioned in his mind but kept up his smile while scratching his
head.
"Hahahaha, I guess it finally sparked up in today." He made an excuse, but he was in a turmoil inside.
'Wait, so the original Amon never told his sister about him not having an elent? Because, I'm sure when I woke up there was no other elent available to him except [Void], which then again, was given to by Zepyhra.'
It was interesting, very interesting.
Why did Amon, who did not even have a single elent, never tell his only family, his sister,
that he did not have an elent?
Did he expect her to get mad or shun him?
Whatever it was, he knew that he would find the answer to this sooner or later when he would
dig up this body's past.
For now, he had so other things to worry about.
After so more chatter with Elizabeth and both sisters, they left him alone to rest.
Finally free from everything, he turned towards the thing he was excited about.
However, he was sure to first check up on the goddess inside his head.
'You there my lady?'
Fortunately, the reply arrived soon after.
'Hmph! Nice of you to finally rember . And enough with your flattering or rizz, that
doesn't work on now.'
At the ntion of 'rizz', a cheerful laughter escaped out of his mouth.
It was a term from his world but he didn't know how Zephyra knew about it.
Nevertheless, it had lightened his heart a lot, and he also got a feeling that Zephyra smiled as
well.
Moving from the light exchange, he quickly focused on the more important task.
