For a while, we enjoyed conversation and sweets. Well, it was the night after a big party ended, so there were plenty of things to talk about. Combined with the confections made by a first-class patissier, it was truly an enjoyable time. "Shall I prepare some tea as well?" As the arranged plates began to empty, Eleanore said that, though it seemed a bit late. She extended her white, delicate hand toward the cupboard. It was certainly not a distance where her hand could reach by…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
An event where boys and girls who have turned 10 years old go to forests, caves, and other places designated near their residential area—places commonly called dungeons—to test their skills and courage. That is what the Trial Ceremony is. In this world, 10 years old is an age where, while not yet an adult, it's inappropriate to treat them as a child, and they receive treatment as if they're half-adult. Accordingly, from this age many children need to learn martial arts and magic and do things…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
We were making steady progress deeper into the forest. Our destination was the Sacred Rock, as it was called—a large boulder located at what was considered the deepest part of this forest. The condition for clearing this trial was to reach that point and bring back a fragment. It wasn't particularly difficult. The atmosphere might be somewhat intimidating, but this forest didn't have very strong monsters. Even children could defeat them if they tried hard enough. Well, of course, if you…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
After that, we didn't encounter any monsters at all along the way. It might be because we took a relatively open and safe path, but even so, I hardly sensed any presences. Did the guards exterminate them all? I did tell them to at least leave some small fry monsters, keeping in mind the purpose of the trial ceremony. Well, I suppose I should think of it as not having to waste stamina or nerves unnecessarily. So that's how we proceeded without any obstacles and reached the Sacred Rock, the…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
"Uwaaaaaaah?! What, what is it?!" "The rock, the rock is split...?!" As expected, the children were in a state of panic. Well, it was no wonder—their missing friend had suddenly appeared, and just when they wondered what would happen, the giant rock behind them was destroyed. ...That was close, really close. If I'd been one second late, it wouldn't have been the rock that was split in two but everyone here. The boys, Eleanore, everyone... Thinking about it made my spine…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
In the arena, a mock battle facility attached to the private training grounds of Egenhardt. On this battlefield with no obstacles, only a vast area set up, two swordsmen face each other. One is clad in the armor of the Anciness family knight order, while the other is lightly equipped with only a chest plate as notable protection. The swords they possess also show a clear difference—one is a fine sword issued to knights, the other is a plain stone sword, well-made but crude. An obvious disparity…- 94.5 K • Ongoing

"Um... my name is Erett. For this test... let's do our best, okay?" "Yeah yeah! Let's work hard together!!" Not long after I entered the room, another member also came into the room. Not a name I recognized. Probably a character who didn't appear in the main story. Until now, when meeting people, I hadn't really thought much about whether they were mob characters or not, but this time such a filter was unavoidably placed in my thoughts. All of this was caused by the girl enthusiastically…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
……… …… … "A-Arcs-kun!" "Um, Arcs-san... hello" When the exam ended and I left the arena and made it to the school gate, two voices called out my name. They were none other than Emma and Erett. "Ah, good work to both of you. Why are you here?" "We were waiting for you, Arcs-kun!" Emma came running over to me with quick steps... grabbed both my hands tightly, and showed a smile that bloomed like flowers. I was startled by the sudden close approach, but well, I didn't…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
"I'm Kiril Geister, and I'll be in charge of this class. I'm also a graduate of this academy, so I'm your senior before being your teacher. Please feel free to talk to me. My subject is swordsmanship, and I'll be working you hard, so you better prepare yourself now, got it?" Homeroom time began, and the woman who introduced herself as Kiril started her self-introduction. Her hair was cut short, with absolutely no atmosphere of dressing up fashionably. She possessed a well-trained body visible even…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
