<h4>Chapter 26: Aizu</h4>
“Yale... I heard that name before.”
After the teacher thought for a while, she remembered who Yale was.
“You are Ange’s little brother, Yale Roanmad!”
Yale face became unsightly as he heard the teacher.
“Teacher, I already told that my surname didn’t matter...”
Yale said it in a rather low voice, but they still managed to hear him.
Yale didn’t mind about the teacher testing his immunity as he understood the strangeness of that Passive Skill, but telling his surname after he said that didn’t matter made him a bit angry.
“Wait, with Ange are you referring to the genius healer Ange? That kid is her little brother?”
That time was Aizu who was shocked, Ange was very famous in the Nacesai Academy and even in the whole Nacesai City due to her talent.
Furthermore, the story of her little brother skipping the tests to join the academy was also well known to all the students and a lot of rumors circted about him.
However, as the tests for the elemental sses were only paper tests and individual talent testing, the members of the Magus sses didn’t know each other like the Warrior sses members, so no one noticed that Yale was the lucky kid until the teacher said his full name.
Fortunately for Yale, at that moment only the teacher, Aizu and Yale himself were awake to hear it.
Of course, Aizu and the others noticed Yale since the first moment as he was the only guy in the whole ss, he would catch the attention of the girls only by that.
However, no one in the ss linked him to that famous story; there were too many unknown students to them who also passed the test for the elemental lessons, the chances of coincidentally meeting Yale when only was one guy in the ss were extremely low.
At that moment, Yale was thinking about what to do since the teacher revealed his identity.
Yale managed to wash away the influence of his unorthodox joining by battling in the Warrior sses, but that wouldn’t work in the Magus ones.
If he also wanted to wash away his reputation in the Magus sses, Yale thought that he would need to do more than showing that illusions couldn’t affect him.
Initially, Yale wanted to be low-key as he knew that he entered the academy in an unorthodox way and that wasn’t good in his ssmates’ point of view, but all his intents were frustrated by some reason.
First, in the sparrings, the system notification made him took them more seriously than he nned, the temptation for more Innate Talents was something he couldn’t resist.
In the battle with George, his blood boiled as he found a worthy rival to fight.
In the archery sses, he went all out as he was still excited about his previous battle and ended showing his talent andpeting with Zack.
Finally, in the Light Elemental ss, he did nothing but his Passive Skill which was impressive enough to catch the attention.
Yale already decided to stop trying to be low-key, he already showed that much, so he can as well show more.
Aizu initially thought that Yale was like her and hated his n due to how he introduced himself, but after that, she learned that he was Ange’s little brother, the lucky kid who entered the academy relying on connections and not on his talent.
Aizu despised people who relied on the n status to advance in their life because doing that was the same as epting to obey the n in exchange.
She hated her n and being controlled by them; Aizu would rather die than ept a favor from her n that made her owe them anything.
The reason was that Aizu’s n engaged her to marry out since she was three years old.
At that time, her mother just disappeared, and then the n sold her as a future wife to a fat lewd old man who had more than a hundred wives. Furthermore, he also had the worst reputation of the whole city, and the rumors said that he kidnapped a lot of women who didn’t belong to any n nor had any background.
Thus, she hated her n more than anything else and only wanted to break rtions with them as her fate in the n would be worse than death.
The only reason she didn’t do it yet was herck of external background if she dared to leave the n without anyone supporting her, the n would act against her even if only was to gift her to that old man.
One of her motives for joining the academy and disying her talent was to obtain some background that could shelter her.
Deciding the marriages of the younger generation was something ordinary in all the ns, as long as one remained belonging to the n, one couldn’t refuse anything the n decided about their life. Most of the younger generation within the ns serve only as chess pieces for the schemes of the older generation.
The lewd old man offered a lot of resources to Aizu’s n in exchange for a young girl to marry him, and as Aizu had just lost her mother and her father loved wealth more than his own kids, he decided to sell his daughter to the old man.
Fortunately, there were somews in the city, and it was forbidden to marry without reaching the proper age; that rule was created by the Nacesai Academy to avoid the destruction of young talents due to the greediness of the elders in the ns.
If anyone disobeyed the rule, the Nacesai Academy would hunt them down, and with the power of Sainac, no one wanted to offend him by not waiting a few years.
In fact, The Roanmad n had the tradition to n the marriages of their younger generation when they turn fifteen and then marry at sixteen, which was the minimum age that the Nacesai Academy allowed.
Ange was already at that age, but due to her status the Roanmad n didn’t dare to even suggest it for fear of offending Ange and the academy, and after Swordmad left the n dared even less than before.
Aizu admired Ange because of that reason; she wanted to be famous enough like Ange did and then her n wouldn’t dare to force her to avoid offending the academy. However, even though Aizu was talented, her talent wasn’t as shocking as Ange’s.
Thus, Aizu didn’t know what to think about Yale, who initially seemed to be the type of person she hated the most based on the rumors.
However, after all, he was her idol’s little brother; and after meeting him in person, the feeling Yale emitted wasn’t the one that she expected.
She saw Yale’s expression when the teacher told the name of his n; any other student could have interpreted that face as anger because he wanted to hide his identity as the lucky kid of the rumors.
However, Aizu didn’t think about that when she saw Yale’s face, because that face was the same she put against the mirror every time she remembers her n, that was a face that expressed no desire to be rted to the n one was born into.
Aizu felt that the rumors about Yale didn’t fit the reality and had the intuition that the true story of Yale wasn’t as simple as everyone thought after hearing the rumors.
Only the fact that Yale was immune to the illusion spell cast by the teacher was enough to show that he wasn’t a normal lucky kid who could only rely on his n. If Yale showed his illusion immunity in the academy’s entry test, even if Yale did poorly in all the other areas, he would still enter the academy.
Aizu was starting to be more curious about Yale, the more she thought, the more mysterious Yale became.
The most recent rumors said that the lucky kid was ignorant and didn’t know his limits and joined all the sses; Aizu didn’t know if that was true, but as she had also entered all the elemental lessons; thus she would confirm it herself.
Furthermore, Aizu decided to pay close attention to Yale to try to unveil the mystery that in her eyes surrounded Yale.
While Aizu was thinking about the truth about Yale, Yale was thinking about the best way to show his talents without being excessive, as he proved to be unable to be low-key.
Thus, he wanted to try showing off while controlling himself to seem talented but not too monstrous.
The teacher instead wasn’t thinking anything profound as she was only relieved that Yale was Ange’s little brother.
She heard about the incident in the Roanmad n a few years ago and knew how Ange’s little brother avoided falling into a powerful illusion and managed to save Ange’s life. In exchange, Yale almost lost his life.
Compared to the teacher’s previous casual illusion spell, the spell cast in the Roanmad n was a huge one, and that kind of illusion required a lot of preparation or an extremely powerful expert.
Thus, there was nothing strange in Yale being immune to her spell, and it wasn’t shameful to her either.
Before any of them started to talk again, the other eight students in the ss began to show signs of awakening.
The three of them had their reasons to didn’t say anything about what happened to the rest of the students, so the ss continued when the eight other members of ss became fully awakened from the illusion.
The only difference was that Aizu was paying more attention than before to Yale.
