Along the way, Vaan and Media found several types of plant that can be used in the potion and also some herb. They minimize their use of strength by avoiding an unnecessary battle with the monster inside the forest by hiding behind the tree when they notice the presence of the monster lurking nearby. Not long after that, Vaan and Media reach the center of the forest; in the middle of the forest has some sort of magic circle on the ground.This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. Vaan walks to the center of the magic circle and stands still there. ¡°I wish to make contact with the spirit¡± Then the big tree in front of Vaan split in half where a giant lizard has appeared from it. Media ask is that a spirit he mentions before, Vaan quickly answers of course that not a spirit. Both of them prepare to fight but the giant lizard roar to its full strength and shaking the forest, Vaan start the battle by slash its feet with his sword and only deal minor damage and Media begin shooting out several of Aqua Lance toward the lizard and also deal minor damage. The giant lizard swings its tail around and breaks several trees around it but Vaan and Media manage to avoid that attack, knew that Vaan and Media don¡¯t have the strength to deal damage to its big body the giant lizard try to step on Vaan using its front feet. When Vaan jump out to out being stomp by that lizard feet, it¡¯s giving a head-butt to Vaan on the air which causing Vaan to send flying and hit a tree behind him. Media quickly tend to Vaan wound in order to reduce his pains; Vaan has being throws out few meters from the location of that giant lizard. ¡°What should I do, I can¡¯t let that lizard eat Media. I need to protect her.¡± ¡°I see that you having a trouble, human from another world.¡± A strange voice speaks from a distance. ¡°How you know, who you are, can you help me? Just please protect Media from that monster.¡± ¡°Oh, you still care about your friend even near dead.¡± ¡°She is my first friend and I won¡¯t let her die on me.¡± ¡°If that so, then let me lend you my power. Just wish then you will gain power.¡± Vaan realizes that something has happened in his body, he feels much more powerful than before. Vain remember that he just need to wish for power. He still in the confused state, should he trust the voice he hears just now but he has nothing to lose anymore then he closes his eyes and starts his wish. ¡°Under the light and in the dark, grant my wish to see the true path.¡± Hearing Vaan wished, his left eye has changed in color to the color of yellow with the mark of a clock. Vaan takes a look at the giant lizard that moving closer to their location and some pop out came out in front of his eyes, it just like the status screen but this time it showing the information about the monster he fighting with.

Without any plan for today, Vaan only spends most of his time to learn about his ability. With the help of Varias now he can understand his skill even better, Vaan realizes each time his fight in battle some of his stats will increase and other will stay at the original point. But he doesn¡¯t plan to go crazy and seek for a random enemy or going to hunt monster in the jungle just to make him stronger, to him that is suicide thing to do. Vaan plans to go and help Media with her store and herb gathering but according to Media grandmother, she has returned to the city of Vismuld yesterday morning. Media just leave a piece of note telling Vaan she had to return to her parents because she has something important to do. Separate with his first friend, and Vaan feels empty and loss in idea what to do after this. It first time he feels that kind of feeling and doesn¡¯t know how to handle it. Several days past, Vaan only doing his basic training without leaving the house until one day his family receives a letter from the king of the nation, tell that will be an event for the princess in the castle a few days from now. His father and mother have to be present at the event, so they will bring Vaan together this time because Vaan has become a boy with a good attitude and proper manner.If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. ¡°This will be your first time meeting with the king and the princess right Vaan, well just be yourself there,¡± says his father. ¡°Well, you need to learn how to be socializing with other my little boy Vaan, this will be a good opportunity for me to show off my son,¡± says Vaan mother. To prepare for the incoming event in the king palace, Vaan has dedicated himself to studies about the proper attitude when face the king and princess by the help of his mother. Vaan also find out the city he lives now is under the territory of the kingdom name Vious, the king that ruler, the kingdom is Victor and queen Viuow. They have been granted a single princess by the name of Virtie, the beauty of the princess is well known despite not many noble has seen her face because the king has given the order to hide his daughter until she reaches a certain age. The day of the ceremony has arrived, Vaan and his family departure to the castle to meet the king¡¯s family, upon arriving at the castle Vaan can see there are many royal guards watching over the gate and inspect each person who going to enter the castle. But because he is born in the noble family, they have been a grant an exclusive path to enter the castle, the event being held in the garden there Vaan can see there are nobler come the from different city and also several people from the ambassador of a different country. ¡°Well, is that the hero of kingdom Sir Gaia is it?¡± talk a noble with a fat body. ¡°Oh, count Alsir, you also come this time.¡± ¡°Is that your little boy, I see. He quite a handsome right how about us,¡± ¡°Sorry count Alsir, I don''t interest to listen to your topic. Please let us walk and relax here.¡± Vaan¡¯s father has stopped a noble from continuing his talking, and Vaan realizes that noble want to arrange his daughter married with Vaan, that why his father gives cold shoulder to that noble because that fat noble try to treat his only son like tools for gain fame. Gaia really hates those kinds of noble, but he keeps a barrier to that hatred because of his position and family. The parties begin with an arriving of the king and the queen but the princess is nowhere to be found after king greeting all his guests then he comes to greet Vaan¡¯s father. Both of them don''t shake the hand instead hug each other like a close friend, Vaan doesn¡¯t believe his eyes, but his mother says Gaia and the king have been together in all war and there are few times when Gaia save the king lives in battle. ¡°Vaan how about you go to child side, let your parent has their talk right now.¡± Receive order from his father Vaan goes to the child side to eat and drink. There he can meet with other noble kid, but he cannot blend in with their arrogant attitude. Each one of them only talking about how good and powerful also wealth their family is and some will begin to fight just because of that reasons. Vaan only stands on the far away side and enjoy himself with food and drink, Vaan also notices there is a maid that serve the food to the noble and for child side, a girl around the age of 8-10 be used to serve the food. Vaan tries to avoid any unnecessary problem with other noble sons until certain case happens in front of his eyes. A young maid girl has split a juice on one of the noble sons, all his friend laugh at him because his cloth has been dirty. The maid girl has asked for apologies and bows down her head to the ground, but that noble son gets angry and steps on her head. Still not enough with that, he draws his short sword out and tries to behead that maid on the spot but Vaan acts fast by grabbing that boy''s hand and throw of his sword to the ground. ¡°How dare you stop me from punishing that ugly bitch? says the noble son. ¡°You have been acting out of bound just for that cloth, I will pay for the damage and I hope we clear this mess up.¡± ¡°Who do you think you are, I the son of count Alsir, cousin to the princess you dare treat me like this? ¡°Sorry but I don¡¯t know who you really are and I could care less about that either.¡± Count Alsir son dash toward Vaan with a sword in his hand, before that sword cut Vaan, Vaan has given that boy a gift with a kick on his face. Realize that he cannot defeat Vaan alone, he gives a signal to his bodyguard and 3 young boys come and ready to attack Vaan on the order from their master. Vaan doesn¡¯t want any other problem, so he closes his eye and the moment he opens it again Vaan has to release a serious killing instinct and that sensation has made those 3 boys piss in their pant and start to cry. *Claps* ¡°That will be enough kid, please stop with you¡¯re playing and continue to eat and be friendly okay,¡± says the king himself. Vaan nods his head and goes to help that maid girl who is bow down his head, Vaan takes her to his place where he eating and offer her some of that food. ¡°Why do you help me? I just a dirty servant and do not have anything to offer at you,¡± says the maid. ¡°Well, I can¡¯t ignore when someone is about to be killed in front of my eyes you known.¡± ¡°But you are noble and I just a maid, we are not the same in status.¡± ¡°If I throw away my noble status and you throw away your maid rank, are we, not just a human and humans are all equal right?¡± After listening to what Vaan has said, that maid''s face turn into red and she cannot face Vaan directly, then suddenly she runs toward the king and hides behind him. Vaan, who watching that can¡¯t believe what has happened, that girl whispering something to king¡¯s ear and after that king look at Vaan location and start to smile on his face. Next, the king called Vaan¡¯s father to his side and talking about something, Vaan¡¯s father just shock and shake his head left and right then he calls Vaan to go to his side and meet the king. ¡°Listen very careful Vaan, the king and I have been discussing something about your future,¡± says Vaan¡¯s father. ¡°Vaan actually, the maid you help just now is my princess and because of you brave action, my daughter has fallen in love with you,¡± continue the king. ¡°So will you marry our princess Vaan?¡± says the queen, who joins in the conversation. That maid girl, repair her hair and her cloth and right after that, in front of Vaan standing a girl around his age with the beauty that can be par with the goddess. Vaan becomes speechless with that situation, and he looks into his father eyes. His father then, whispering something into king ear then the king once again smile. ¡°Vaan I will not force you to marry my princess yet, but you will be engaged with her until you reach a mature age and you learn to love my princess back. Until that time both of you now is a fianc¨¦e,¡± declares king to his guest. Vaan still can¡¯t process the thing that happens now and his father and mother just laugh together with the king and the queen. They leave Vaan alone with the princess and goes to have a drink as a new family. At Vaan side, the princess comes and talks to him with a soft voice yet show courage in her eyes saying something. ¡°Please take care of me from now on, Vaan-sama,¡± and princess closes her face with her hand. Vaan just smiles and don¡¯t know what to say back, he just finishes drink juice that he is held for a long time and gives a look at princess'' face. Vaan thinks in his mind that he might be the luckiest guy in the world or maybe the unluckiest guy. Chapter 7: Festival’s Time *In castle chamber* Now, Vaan¡¯s family is discussing with the king¡¯s family on the topic of marriage between their heirs of family. Referring to the king suggestion, Vaan and the princess now is in fianc¨¦e relationship, but Vaan¡¯s father suggests that let both of them reach the mature age which is 18 to be able to marry. The king agrees with Gaia idea, and he will wait until that time, during the discussion the princess keep staring at Vaan and that make Vaan feel nervous because a very goddess like girl staring at him. Vaan¡¯s father has set several rules in order to protect Vaan from dangerous because he will be married to the princess, so he suggests that this matter will be kept in secret until the time has come. During Vaan stay at the castle, princess Virtie has spent most of her time by escort Vaan to look inside the castle, Vaan has tried to befriend with Virtie and he realizes that princess doesn¡¯t have many friends in the castle. Vaan says to Virtie that he will be her first friend that makes Virtie¡¯s face turn into red because she is blushing after listening to Vaan. Vaan realizes that as the princess in the kingdom that makes her feels burden even though she still young, thus Vaan do the best he can at least to make Virtie forget that she is a princess for that day. After 2 days at the castle, Vaan and his family are going back to their house. ¡°Why you should leave now, can¡¯t you stay here and play with me,¡± says Virtie in a sad face. ¡°Vaan, need to going back to his home my dear, he can come again when he has time,¡± says the king. ¡°I promise you princess Virtie, I will come and meet you after this.¡± ¡°We will meet again, take care Sir Vaan.¡± ¡°I will Princess Virtie.¡± Saying their farewell Vaan enters the carriage and it starts to move, a few minutes later the carriage is nowhere to see anymore. *2 days later in Varan city* One of every 4 years, Varan city will be holding a festival. This festival is known as the Festival of Ruter, the name come from the first mayor of this city and in order to remember the good deed he has made to create the city every town people will hold this event. The period of this festival is 3 day straight and there are many mini-events that will be held during this time, not to mention people from around the world will come and also this is the good opportunity for the shop to gain more profits. Vaan now is walking around and help other people to set up their shop, the reasons why Vaan helping them is because he wants to create a good relationship with all the town people and help them as much as he can. Another reason is, by helping them, Vaan also can train his body and stamina at the same time so that can be considered as a win-win situation. Finally, the event that will be held in the festival has been decided, first there will be a cooking tournament, and then will be a beauty contest and the main event in that festival is a tournament. The tournament is open to who wanted to sign in and the winner will get 100 pieces of gold coin. ¡°You think he will enter this year too?¡± asks the A man. ¡°I don¡¯t know but if he enters again who can defeat him right,¡± answer B man.Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. ¡°Can I know who is the person you talking about,¡± Vaan join the talk. ¡°Well, no one knows him or his face, during last tournament he is wearing full black cloth and wearing an Oni mask during the fight,¡± says A man. ¡°That not all, he manages to beat your father in one on one fight and win the tournament by KO.¡± Add on B man. ¡°Wow, he can even beat my dad.

Went he asks what happen to that person, the bakery owner says that he now lacks butter and without enough butter, he cannot produce the signature dish for his shop in the festival. Vaan offer himself to help the owner after listening to owner instruction Vaan head to the Voga village in order to retrieve the butter for the owner. Voga village located in grassland near the Varan city, and there is a place where the farm of the goats and cow is located.

Vaan does not bring his sword with him today because he been helping people, looking at situation Vaan know that he is in danger. Before Vaan able to make his move, the entire bandits begin their attack at the same time. In the blink of eyes, all bandits have been lying on the ground. Vaan quickly take a look around the surrounding area, and he sees a person wearing black cloth and Oni mask stands behind the tree, that person is matching with the guys that described by the town people. Judging from that man body and appearance Vaan can take a guess that he is around 30 plus, not to be rude, Vaan says his thank to that man and said he needs to quickly back to the city. That man keeps silence and Vaan walk pass by that man. ¡°By the way, sir, are you going to enter the tournament this time too?¡± ask Vaan. ¡°I will, and I once again will be the champion,¡± answer the man. ¡°Then I will be watching your fight in that tournament.¡± ¡°No, no, we will meet in the tournament.¡± Says the man and disappear from Vaan sight.

At Vaan¡¯s house, his father and mother are ready for dinner, and Vaan joins in to eat together. They have been talking about the festival, and Vaan¡¯s father will not entering the tournament this year because he has received news about the bandits around the city during the festival so he needs to be on duty to protect the town people. As for his mother, she is not the type who likes the crowded place, so she will stay at the house and just be reading the book for a day. Vaan tired and head to his room, then his father stop him for a moment to talk about something. ¡°Vaan is preparing for the festival okay,¡± says his father. ¡°Why I need to prepare dad?¡± ¡°Well, this morning I just sign in your name into the participant list for the tournament in the festival.¡± ¡°You did what?¡± ¡°Well, just prepare yourself okay my son, show them who the boss around this city is.¡± ¡°Why you always decide something without discussing anything with me, dad.¡± *First day of festival* Today is the beginning of Varan¡¯s Festival day, many people start to come into the city and the center is being crowded with people early in the morning. The today main event is the cooking tournament in the morning and then in the afternoon, the beauty contest will be held.

As for the tournament, there will be 2 blocks which are A block and B block. Vaan has been placed at B block and the Oni man is in the A block. He will only meet the Oni guy if he keeps winning in the B block, Vaan doesn¡¯t have any motivation to fight in the tournament at first but realizes that he can fight the Oni guy he suddenly starts to prepare for the incoming fight. The tournament will begin on the second day of the festival. ¡°Sir Vaan¡± a voice comes from behind. Chapter 8: Date before the Fight Surprise with the voice coming from behind, Vaan become speechless because he only can see a girl wearing hat and glasses standing near him. Vaan recognizes the voice and when he tries to speak loudly that girl stop him at the moment. That girl is his fianc¨¦e, and she comes to the town in order to meet with Vaan and also because of the festival. According to Virtie, her father the king also arrive today in the town and now at Vaan¡¯s house meeting up with Vaan¡¯s father, but the princess comes to the festival in order to meet with Vaan, because Vaan¡¯s mother told her that she could meet Vaan here. ¡°So, can you take me to walking around the town and show me around for today?¡± ¡°Well, I got nothing to do for today, so why not.¡± ¡°Where should we go first? Oh, please pick any interesting spot you think in your mind.¡± ¡°Trust me, you will enjoy for today.¡± Vaan takes the princess walk around the city, and Vaan¡¯s plan is to let the princess see the atmosphere around the town which she hardly can see. First, stop that Vaan pickup is the place where selling an ice-cream and crepe, the princess seems to enjoy her meal and she even orders for another one to eat once more. The second destination is the bakery, place where Vaan help the owner getting butter. The owner seems happy to see Vaan bring another girl with him into his shop, as for show the kindness, he treats Vaan and his girl for free special bread from his shop. ¡°Sir Vaan, the town-people are kind and nice towards you, what have you done to earn their respect?¡± ¡°I have done nothing for that, I only help them at the time they need and never ask for payment of benefits.¡± ¡°I see, I hope someday I can be like you Sir Vaan.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s both of us work hard to be someone fit with our title.¡± ¡°That a promise okay.¡± Vaan replied with a smile on his face, then he brings the princess to watch the beauty contest when it about to start. Vaan can see on her face there is a little bit of jealousy shown when Vaan stare at the contested of the show after all the contested has been introduced now is the time for the judge to pick who will win the match. Today judge is very special because the first judge is Vaan¡¯s father and the second one is Virtie¡¯s father the king himself, both of them looks happy to be the pick as a judge and for Vaan and Virtie is an embarrassing moment to see both of their fathers with a lustful eye watching the women on stage. Among the people, suddenly Virtie scream and hug Vaan¡¯s body, confuse and shock about the situation Vaan tries to calm down the princess. Vaan asks why she screams, and the princess says that someone has taken her money and then run away in the sea of people, Vaan tries to look around but because there are many people in the area it hard for Vaan to pinpoint the suspect. Vaan holds Virtie¡¯s hand and began their search for the culprit. 30 minutes in search, but there is no sight for the suspect. The princess¡¯s face starts to change as she starts to cry because her monthly money has been stolen from here. Vaan touches her head in order to let her feel safe, but Vaan also has met his dead end on the way to find the lost money. Vaan keeps thinking until a voice come from his mind. ¡°Use my power; you shall see who the real culprit is,¡± says the voice. Please grant me the power to see the truth. As per word Vaan say by his mouth, his eyes began to change once again. Virtie, who is watching that happen, just can¡¯t utter another word about what happened, not only Vaan¡¯s eye changes but at the same time, his power also increases. Using his eye ability, Vaan tries to look around once again and this time there is a pop out status show about people status, the difference this time is, it only shows guilt or not. Vaan keeps looking for guilt status and then finally he found that person running to the west side of the city where many orphanages live there.The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Vaan and Virtie walk to that place and they can see many poor people there, Virtie feel insecure but Vaan keep his poker face as they walk there. Vaan stops his movement until they reach an old house at the end of the city, Vaan knocks the door and open it and in that moment a boy with a knife trying to stab Vaan¡¯s body but thanks to his training Vaan easily grab the knife and throw the attacker off balance and fall down. ¡°Please don¡¯t bully my brother,¡± said the young girl. ¡°Please forgive him,¡± says the young boy. ¡°Stupid don¡¯t come out, keep hiding inside,¡± said the oldest boy. Based on the situation they seem to be in one family, Vaan let go the oldest boy as he approaches the youngest girl and asks what is really happened here. Based on the girl stories, their parent has been killed by the monster 3 years ago and now the oldest brother is taking care of them, but because he cannot find any job, he starts to be a pickpocket and take other people money. That is not only the reason, but the younger boy also seems to be sick and in bad condition. Before Vaan able to touch that sick boy, Virtie has cast her healing magic and cure the illness in that boy. The brother and the young girl seem to be happy that their brother is healthy once again. They endless bow their head and say thank the princess, the princess forgives them and let them have the money earlier. Vaan seems satisfied with Virtie attitude and mindset as he begins to smile, Virtie ask is there something wrong with her face and Vaan only reply with there is nothing wrong with it. The end of the beauty contest is also the end of the day, Vaan and Virtue return to Vaan¡¯s house when they see both of their fathers being punished by their mothers because of what happened today. Vaan says to himself that he needs to be careful when dealing with a woman in his life and future, Vaan also confuses why the king and his family stay with him rather than at good inn and the princess answer by doing that she can meet with Vaan every day. Vaan blush and head to his room quickly and start to sleep. *Second day of festival* Vaan walk toward the tournament area early in the morning in order to prepare himself, he thought that he the only one think like that but at the arena many people who sign in already been there. All of them look at Vaan and smile because a boy joins in the battle, Vaan can see that some of them are an adventurer but many of them only a farmer and regular people he can find in the city but he still can¡¯t let his guards down this time. The tournament begins after the arrival of the king and king¡¯s family, Princess Virtie stands in front of the seat to get a clear sight on the man she loves will fight in the arena. The tournament near to start, but suddenly the king gives his idea to change the fighting schedule, asking proposed the tournament for this year will be the battle arena where many fighter fights in the same time. The citizen looks unsatisfied at first, but after the king explains his idea all the citizen begin to cheer again, and so the battle begins with the entire fighter walk in into the arena. On the sound of magic, all the contestant begin the battle, they attack and beat any person near them and as for Vaan he takes a good measurement and keeps his energy of use to the minimum as he can see this battle will be a long battle. One by one the contestant unable to fight and need to withdraw, Vaan keep a close eye on the Oni man. Vaan shock because he alone can take out four people just using his hand only. Lost focus in the battle, Vaan being hit by a huge man using his club. Vaan¡¯s head seems to be bleeding but that attack just woke him up from the dream as he unleashes his weapon and in the blink of time he cut the opponent down, luckily that sword is just a fake so the big guy escapes from the deadly situation. The viewer screams and cheers up for him until Vaan see that Oni man being surrounded by 10 opponents, Vaan try to help that person but Vaan realizes something not right about that situation. On that man''s hand seems to be something shining and suddenly the cloud began to turn dark and feel chill so sudden. Knowing on what will coming, Vaan quickly makes a large distance from that man, the viewer says Vaan is being coward but suddenly, when the Oni man moves his hand down, few of lightning bolt also came down and swipe the entire arena. Few seconds after that, the persons who able to stand are Vaan and that man themselves. As the battle near to the end all the viewer keep their mouth closed and even the king himself can avoid from being curious who will win the battle. As waiting for a good moment to strike Vaan known that he can¡¯t win using a normal method so he will use all his knowledge and skill in order to fight this man and beat him. End First Arc - Chapter 9: The Conclusion Vaan begins his move by using one of his magic in order to test out his opponent ability and also to create an opening to strike back. But the Oni guy manages to avoid Vaan¡¯s fireball magic and then rush to the front and close the gaps between him and Vaan, Vaan has realized that his opponent only using bare hand combat but also at the same time is enhanced using some sort of magic to increase the damage that dealing. Vaan can only defend himself from that combination attack, and he has been pushed to the end of the stage when he realizes the Oni guy tries to corner him at the end of the stage Vaan quickly use another magic that he learns which is the flame enhancement on his body and also the weapon.

Satisfied with the result, Vaan returns to his home and sneakily go straight to his room and sleep. Tomorrow is a big day for him so his plan to just take a good rest for today. Woke up due to the noisy thing, Vaan can even get enough sleep today but he cannot be mad because all the noise is coming because of his birthday party preparation. Vaan walk around his house to see if there anything that he can eat or help but the offer is rejected by the head of the maid saying that Vaan needs to rest and be prepared for tonight. Vaan can¡¯t oppose the head maid order because he respects her just like his mother, so Vaan goes to the reading room and just sleep there until the time for the party is near. Tonight is the time for the birthday party, Vaan prepare himself with black cloth with a blue light button, pant from high silk also color in black, beside him is his father and mother wearing noble like cloth. Together they enter the hall and Vaan can see many people clap their hand after the entering from Vaan and his family. Chapter 12: A Surprising Gift Greeting the guest then gives them a smiling face, and Vaan finds it is hard to maintain that kind of face but seeing his parents able to do it Vaan cannot give up in the middle of the party. Vaan can see that many of the guests are not what he thinks he will see, based on Vaan¡¯s father the guest is a noble from various countries and kingdom but what he can see is a face that looks like not a noble type of person. This because some of them have scar on their face and many of the guests are not wearing a fancy type of cloths, Vaan looks confused because it not what his father mention before when he said noble and important people from many countries but now if Vaan keep he eyes wide open he can see that most of the people are an adventurer and scholar people, only a few of them is noble. ¡°Are you surprise my son?¡± ask Gaia. ¡°Umm, you said many important people would come, but I can see only common people here and few noble families.¡± ¡°Well, all of them is a friend of mine and your mother Vaan, and they have helped us in any way from past so they are the important people and noble for us.¡± ¡°Hello Gaia, it good to see you again¡± a man with red hair greet Vaan¡¯s father. Seeing that man is his father friend, Vaan try to sneak and find something that he can do during the party but he can¡¯t escape because his father keeps him close to his side and introduces too many people who are Vaan¡¯s father friend. Done with his father adventurer friends, Vaan being drag out by his mother next, as for his mother friend most of them look like a great in magic and knowledge and few of them also an adventurer. Vaan keeps his face and shows respect for all of them, most of them see impressive with Vaan attitude because even he is noble but Vaan does not show any sign of arrogant which typical noble child show in front of the commoner. After thinking all of that is done, Vaan catches a glimpse of shape that he recognizes behind the curtain. Quickly walk to that place, Vaan¡¯s eye can¡¯t believe in what he sees it was Media inset of cloth that can boost her charm and smell of perfume is sweet and catch Vaan attention. Realize Vaan has lost in his mind, Media become shy and cover her face with her hand but then Vaan quickly apologies for his attitude and explain why he acts like that. Media accept Vaan forgiveness and think that Vaan attitude as praise for her looking tonight. During his conversation with Media, Vaan can feel few eye look at them and after few minute he knows that all of that eye is looking at Media side and that make Vaan feel sad because Media has been a center of attrition for the man in that party. But he knows that Media charm is not an easy thing to be miss look at that party. ¡°Let¡¯s go and grab some food shall we?¡± ask Vaan. ¡°Okay, let eat Vaan, and I can¡¯t wait to taste that food tonight.¡± ¡°All of these foods are being prepared by the head chef, but I still can guarantee you that I taste as good as my mother food.¡± ¡°Really, that is nice than.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know that you are a heavy eater Media, and you need to be careful with food or you will be fat.¡± ¡°Vaan, you really need to learn the proper way to talk to a lady right.¡±The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. ¡°What you mean by that Media?¡± ¡°It is nothing¡± answer Media with a smile. Vaan really doesn¡¯t know what Media try to tell him so he just takes it as a note and will ask someone again later on, but now he realizes that the king and princess are nowhere to be found. If he not wrong, his father also invites the king family but it seems that they cannot come tonight and it a little bit sad for Vaan because he is hoping to meet up with Virtie in the party. Now is the time for Vaan¡¯s father gives his speech to the guest tonight and follow up with his mother than last but not least is Vaan turn for the end of the party. During Vaan¡¯s father speech several of noble come close to Vaan and whisper something, but Vaan just ignores them and head to where Media still eating her food. Media how to look at the incident ask Vaan what has happened, Vaan explain that those noble suggest to Vaan that they will give slave as the present for his birthday party but Vaan just walk away from that conversation because, in his previous life, the slave is not something that can be accepted in this world. Media then clap her hand because Vaan''s decision and she pat Vaan head as praise for what happens, Media seem happy because Vaan refuse to accept such gifts and she said that Vaan doesn¡¯t change even in the future and stay like that. After Vaan¡¯s father speech is done, next his mother goes about giving her speech to the audience in the party. Vaan suddenly feels nervous, but Media is helping him out from that situation. Media keep Vaan nervous away by talking about different thing and topic with Vaan. Finally, the time has arrived for Vaan turn give his speech. Few minutes after giving his speech, finally Vaan successful too finish his speech without having a problem and the audience seems to be like and satisfied with Vaan original speech. The end of Vaan speech also means the end of the party, after sending few butlers to accompany Media to her home, Vaan head to where his parents at. Look at the reading room, where he can find his mother and his father together. ¡°Come here sons, let¡¯s have a small talk,¡± says his father. ¡°It now times for our turn giving you a gift right,¡± says his mother. ¡°First, here is the gift from your mom, please take care of it.¡± Open the cover, Vaan find out that he got a ring from his mother. Think it as a normal ring until he realizes that ring has something craft on it but he can¡¯t seem to understand that kind of language and symbols. According to his mother, Vaan needs to wear that ring as proof of protection from dangerous things and only remove it when he is in great danger only. Listen and noted as his mother word Vaan give his promise after that. ¡°Then now is father turn right,¡± says Vaan¡¯s father. ¡°Here is your gift Vaan,¡± say Gaia and pass a piece of a letter to Vaan. Vaan quickly read the content of the letter which his father just gives to him, on the paper wrote the sentence of ¡°Road Academia¡± which is one of the most famous magic knight schools in the kingdom. Keep reading the letter Vaan finally found out that his father has set him to go studies in the different town that known as Vismuld, thinking like he has heard that town name before but because of the now tired his brain can find the answer. ¡°You will be leaving after 4 days from tomorrow my son.¡± ¡°That so early dad, I still not done prepare my stuff yet.¡± ¡°Then, you better start tomorrow son, hahaha.¡± *Next morning ¡°Media¡± Vaan shouts early in the morning in front of Media house, Media came out with rush because she hears Vaan scream for her downstairs. Media find she is in a clueless situation about what happens because Vaan wasn''t acting like he always does. ¡°Sorry for disturbing your sleep Media, but I want to ask you something.¡± ¡°Go on Vaan, what is your question.¡± ¡°Did you say that you were studying at the town of Vismuld?¡± ¡°Yes, and the school are teaching magic and knighthood.¡± ¡°What is the name of that school?¡± ¡°If I do not mistake, the name is Road Academia but why are you asking me that Vaan?¡± ¡°Really? That is great then because I also will attend that school 3 days from now Media.¡± ¡°Wow, then we can be together again even in different town.¡± Both of them seem happy with that news, Vaan returns to his home and start to pack his stuff. Then, his mother comes in and shows him another piece of letter. Vaan takes and read but this time it has a royal symbol on it, from that letter he knows that he has been summoned by the king and need to meet him at the castle as soon as he can. ¡°Well, I will invite Media to come with me and maybe Virtie and Media can be a friend.¡±
