Waking up to the sun shining, bright as ever, in my face through the glass wall, I sighed and reluctantly covered my face.
It had been three weeks since the Practical Exam.
My daily routine as a Glaive Academy student was starting to take shape.
First and foremost, I attended all my classes on ti, though, for most of them, I would just pretend to pay attention.
Now that I knew that a teacher was out to get , I had to be extra careful about the small yet important things like attendance and grades.
After classes, my schedule would shift depending on whether or not I had a training session with Daisy.
Usually, I would et her at so secluded spot among the academy’s forest, as the coliseum had beco far too crowded.
Throughout our last training sessions, I had been focusing on discovering the capabilities of my Ti elent and its gifts.
Only with her could I go all out, displaying my true strength without holding back any secrets.
With the use of my ti-stopping ability, I had even managed to land a small hit on the usually untouchable Daisy.
As I fell backward due to an instant counterattack from Daisy, she imdiately questioned, not even helping up from the ground.
"What was that? Did you just teleport...like a space elent user!? No...you’re ti, aren’t you?"
Using Ti Freeze required a massive expenditure of my finite ti elental particles, so I used it carefully.
Training was necessary, though, as I couldn’t just use it when it was a life-or-death scenario, as I would have no experience with the ability.
Faced with her barrage of questions, I waved my hands and answered.
"It’s a gifted ability. I paused ti and moved to your blind side, surprising you. "
Pausing for a mont and pulling out her revolver so that its barrel was facing the sky, Daisy suddenly exclaid.
"...isn’t that ability just a cheat code? What’s the point in training? Can’t you just...stop ti and go kill or defeat your enemy while they’re frozen?"
"There’s nothing they can do to resist or defend themselves."
Shaking my head, I retrieved my sword from the ground and stood back up.
Since Ti Freeze was my most powerful ability, I, of course, experinted with it.
I could already establish so major rules for the seemingly overpowered ability.
After waiting a mont to catch my breath, I stretched my hands and responded.
"I can’t. My sword would simply pass right through you. When I enter frozen ti, every single living being becos immune to attacks."
"They beco a hologram, having an intangible and unattackable figure. Everything connected to them, like clothes and weapons, also becos untouchable."
"The only thing I can do is move around and reposition myself."
Sighing and walking back to the other side of the clearing within the forest, Daisy complained with her back turned to .
"You’d be the perfect sharpshooter, you know? Are you sure your gift is sword-related?"
...my gift couldn’t have been more specific.
Your sword cuts through ti.
To be fair, despite the implications and obstacles that would co from defying my gift, I had considered picking up the gun like Daisy.
Unlike a sword, which was completely useless on Earth, guns were used everywhere, so I already have so knowledge about them.
And, there wasn’t much to learn.
Simply aim, account for recoil and wind resistance, and shoot.
But with a sword, I would need years of experience and training to master the weapon.
I even had my nose to sense the terrible scents of humans who could be planning a sneak attack.
Rolling out of bed and preparing for the classes today, I contemplated my plans after school’s end.
If there were no training session with Daisy, I would head to the training hall to advance my swordsmanship or just relax.
But, in the past week especially, my leisure ti has decreased significantly, due to a particular person.
Opening the training hall doors and seeing the two familiar figures of Liam and Charlotte, I was about to grab a sword when a sudden pressure gripped my shoulder.
"Where were you yesterday?"
Sighing and walking forward with Scarlett still holding my shoulder, I dragged us toward the wooden swords.
"I already told you. I don’t have the ti to spar every d-"
Completely ignoring my words and angrily picking up a sword, Scarlett said while glaring at the ground.
"I can’t believe I’m only ranked number 8!"
Suddenly coming to a realization, she pointed at with her sword and asked.
"YOU! How did you get number two? I’m way better than you with the sword."
Shrugging my shoulders and grabbing a sword of my own, I answered.
"Swordmanship isn’t everything."
Shaking her head and charging at with her sword stretched above her head, Scarlett muttered with a grin.
"Oh, shut it, you fraud."
With Scarlett constantly sparring against , my swordsmanship skills had increased exponentially, but slowly but surely, I was running out of ways to win.
Scarlett clearly had the technical advantage, so I had to constantly innovate while fighting to co up with ways to win.
Sohow, I had gained myself a sparring partner.
At the sa ti, I had lost sothing else, though.
Prior to the exam, Mira had always been the one to initiate conversations with , and I, whether I knew it or not at the ti, had continued them.
With Mira’s well-founded suspicions about my practical exam result, though, things had changed.
Now, I simply ignored or brushed her off.
And being the observer she was, Mira took the hint.
She didn’t try to dig deeper into or my mysteries, but simply backed off completely.
She had gotten too close, so I had to push her back.
Dressed in the academy uniform, I opened my dorm’s doors, ignoring the breakfast lying within the common room, and exited the building.
Today’s first class was with Professor Snape, and I had a feeling that so interesting information would be shared.
