Princess In Another World: New Story
33
Tomorrow.
Behind headquarters.
“From today until your graduation day, we will do this exercise routine every day. At least 1-2 hours every morning. Do you understand.”
“Hey, you also have a schedule for the academy, lo. Don't forget about it.” (Lucy)
“I can take care of it, but for Iona. I want you to be serious, if you're serious I can focus on teaching you.”
“But..”.
“Nothing but-button, which I want with no word ‘YA’ you understand”
“Y-ya.”
“Less assertive!!”
“YA!”
“Good.”
“It looks more like a soldier's practice, lo.” (Lucy)
“Alright, for the first thing you have to do.”
“I ignored.” (Lucy)
“What magic can you use?”
“Eh? A-wind and water.”
“Hmmm, wind and water, yes.” 2 attributes that can support each other, even so I really hope fire and wind to be cooler, so, but this was enough after all magic attributes could not be chosen but rather gifts from birth so there was no use of it expecting anything else.
“T-but I can't really use it.”
“No problem, for this exercise you only need to use your magic to the limit or at least where yours is left 50% only.”
“Using magic?”
“Yes, use any magic but with a small scale so you can set the magic power you can control.”
“Hooo, that's an interesting method. Correct’ Ria.” (Lucy)
“I don't really understand such a thing, but it seems that deputy commander Ari is a great teacher.” (Male)
A few minutes after that.
“A-ahhh!! I-I can't, I always mess it up.”
“Hmmm, how about you just take out your magic. No need to use your magic atrimut.”
“Excreate magic?”
“The principle is the same as when magic equipment absorbs magic that is in magic stones, but you who serve as magic stones, you let your magic energy out of your body. Like that.”
“If it's like that, it looks like I can.”
“Then, start.”
A few minutes, again.
“How?”
“It seems to work, but I feel very tired.”
“Then rest, do not force yourself.”
“Good.”
“You're still paying attention?”
“Yes, I think there will be something interesting, like a typhoon that appears suddenly or a very heavy rain like that.”
“Hey, your thinking is too wild.”
“After all I heard that the royal family has a very stocky mana capacity, so I thought he could do that.”
“You yourself how, aren't you yourself part of the kingdom? You can't use magic?”
“I tried it, but I'm not interested. I never used it.”
“So, dear unfortunate. You two please take care of Iona, I'll be in to take a drink.”
“Ya.”
\=\=\=\=
“Daughter, are you okay?”
“Yes, I'm just a little tired.”
“So, definitely because most use magic, whichever one you have is almost exhausted.”
“I have never used that much mana before, I am currently so tired. And again, why suddenly Ari invites me to practice like this. He's not as usual.”
“Begini.”
Prince Lucy told him, the struggle Ari did so that I could be accepted into the magic academy in the kingdom of Guil.
“I did not expect deputy commander Ari would be up to do things that far.”
“Yes, he even tried to learn things that were beyond his comprehension just for you. Even so, he was still figuring out what a suitable method to train you, he could not use his magic but he was still trying to train you without burdening you. Yeah, it's hard for him I admit it. But he tried his best for you, only for you he was willing to fight that hard.”
“A-I can't let her down, I'll fight.”
“Ya, we will support you.”
“I'm back, Iona this is your drink.”
“Thanks.” I drank. “Alright, time to get back to training.”
“Do not force yourself.”
“Calm down, I'm fine.”
“Haaaa, I told you to rest. I know that you can't stand it anymore for today, so you can rest. It's better than I have to see you lying weak.”
He looked at me, he cared about me. “Thanks.” I think I really love him.
A few days passed.
My training went on as usual, as I was about to run out of mana Ari told me to rest and training that day was over. Despite that…
“Iona, is there an upgrade?”
“I don't know, but I seem to have gotten a little used to this.” I do things like this repeatedly, I do not want to make him disappointed therefore I have to fight with all my might so that the effort he did for me is not in vain.
“I've calculated your time, it looks like there is an increase.”
“Eh? Really?”
“Yes, on the first day I recorded about less than 2 minutes before you ran out and the next day was still the same, but in the following days there was a little development.”
“So, if it continues like that maybe I can... Aww!!” Ari hit me on the head. “K-why?!”
“Do not force yourself, your health is the most important. You have to remember that.”
“Good, I understand.”
His hand touched my head. “Sorry for hitting you just now.” He stroked my head gently and it felt very comfortable.
“It's okay, thanks.” I feel happy being this way, because I feel closer to him. Closer than usual, looking at his side who cared deeply for me directly.
\=\=\=
A few weeks later.
“Hmmm, good looks like you've gotten better at this in just a few weeks.”
“Iya.”
Iona's improvement in mana control is better than ever, and this makes my little effort pay off. “Alright, time to rest.”
“But I can still’kok.”
“I said break.”
“B-good.”
Yes, although lately he has often forced himself to train even harder, I want to do it but the condition of his body does not allow it to do that. Therefore, out of the many ways of practice that I thought about, only this way can be used by Iona for training.
“Ari, how about my record?”
“Hmmm, about 10 minutes more.”
“Wah, it was amazing, whereas yesterday it was only 8 minutes.”
“That's because you pushed yourself too hard today, what happened today?”
“Begin, the result of the value of the research I did will come out today.”
“So, you nervous?”
“No, of course I'm very happy. I've fought hard for today, I hope I can get a high score later.”
“Because the value is out today, means your graduation time will also arrive soon.”
“Iya.”
When I said that, Iona became moody. Since he will be studying in another kingdom, inevitably we will have to split up, that is likely what he is worried about. Even so, I was also worried because if he was in another kingdom I could not take care of him. “Hmmm, want to take a short walk.”
-----
“Why should be with Dravin?”
“Because the place is a little far away, so we need a ride from him. Correct’ Dravin.”
Groaaarrr.
We headed to a place on the Dravin, because the place was quite far away and difficult to reach Dravin was very helpful with something like this.
Long enough after that.
We have reached our destination.
“Wahh, this place is so beautiful. Full of colorful flowers.” A green field with 1 tree in the middle and surrounded by many flowers around it.
“Thank God if you like it.”
“By the way, how did you find a place like this?”
“Emmm, when I went for a walk I accidentally found her. Because the place is difficult to reach, I think this flower grows naturally here besides that I also do not see any settlements or anything near here.”
“So, yes. These flowers are very beautiful, and again the air here is very cool and comfortable. It seems I can feel at home if I linger here. Then, the tree was quite large, roughly how long he had been growing, yes.”
“Hmmm, I don't know. Maybe about 150 or 200 years, just maybe more.” The tree in the middle is indeed quite large, has a width of about 15-20 meters, and a height of more than 50 meters I do not know how certain is very very high.
“So. This tree must have gone through a lot of bad conditions, and I also do not know what dark history he had experienced. Even so, I'm glad this time this place became so beautiful like this.”
“You can come here if you want.”
“Then, we'll be here again, yes.”
“Alright, as you wish.”
After Iona was satisfied we decided to return.
“Maybe we can invite others there also later.”
“Which else? For what?”
“Of course, for a picnic of course.”
“So. Looks like it's a good idea.”
After quite a while we arrived and after that we went to the academy to take the results of his research.
Diaacademy.
“How?”
“I..”
“Once, yes.” His face looks gloomy, at least I know what happened.
“Sorry, I couldn't do any better.”
Iona was crying and I tried to calm her down. I stroked his head to make him calmer. “Relax, from a failure you can learn to be better. At least you just failed at this, not at war. You can fix it at your new academy, when it comes do your best.”
“But... I've let my friends down.”
“You've all tried your best, so it doesn't matter. View.”
“Princess, thank you for helping us so far.” (??)
“Without princess help, maybe this project will never be finished.” (??)
“That's right, don't blame yourself, we've all tried it's just that maybe the experience we have is less.” (??)
“That's true, so don't assume this is all your fault.” (??)
His study friends encouraged him. “Kalian.”
“You still have good friends like them, they already support you. So, no problem. Thank you for your hard work. I'll go first, you must have something to talk to them about, I'll wait.”
“Good.”
I went away.
“Yo Ari.” (Lucy)
“Lucy, what's up?”
“You've seen the test results?”
“Most I get the lowest score, I also do not enter when the exam is done.”
“Oh, by the way if you want to carry out the exam can be today, lo.”
“Eh? Can it be like that?”
“Yes, you know. This is not a public school, this is a special school. But, if you take this exam the exam will be very difficult from the usual exam. Yes, for you it's not a problem.”
“Thanks for the information, then I will go for the exam.”
“Ya, good luck.”
The academy head room.
“Cih, why should I come here.” I hate this place, but if I want to do the exam I have to ask permission from that person. “Haaa, how else.” Because I had to, I went inside.
“Hooo, there are foreign students.”
“Heh, as usual the atmosphere here is very gripping.”
“Princess is gone, no one will protect you anymore in this academy.”
“Protect me? Do I need protection? I'm that weak until I need protection.”
“Haaaa, forget that. You want to ask permission to take the retest’.”
“Heh?” His attitude suddenly changed. “I-iya.”
“Then, this.” He gave me the approval paper. “What's up? You don't want to?”
I'm picking it. “I don't think you can behave like this either.”
“Hahahaha, I just want to see you fighting. This exam is so hard, can you finish it?”
“Hah, want as hard as anything as long as it makes sense everything I can do.” I'm goin.
“I'm waiting for that, give me something interesting.”
In the exam room.
I was directed to the exam room.
And after a few minutes wait for the exam paper to be given.
“Hey hey, that's right. Nothing is learned in class. So this, yes secured a very difficult test.” Everything in this answer sheet does not belong to the learning category at all, everything is different from the curriculum of this academy. “Damn it, you set me up. I seem to hate you so much.”
Long enough after that.
“Yo you're back.” (Lucy)
“Ari, how?” (Lion)
“Haaaa, damn the head of that academy. Giving such absurd problems of his students.”
“You really took that exam?”
“Iya, shit.”
“I heard, even though the person with the best score was unable to pass the test. In addition, the exam was conducted for students who wanted to get the best grades. I didn't think you'd do that.”
“You how else, my grade is bottom. If it's not fixed then I'll stay class.”
“Leave class?”
“Eh? Here there is no system for students with lower grades should stay class’kah?”
“No.”
“S-fucking!! What am I doing that exam for!! Haaaa, stop. Everything is also answered.”
“Then, what about the result? How many questions did you answer correctly?” (Lucy)
“That's it, I had a headache thinking about that senseless exam. I'll be back in the box.”
“Princess, what do you think?”
“I'm sure all the answers are correct, he’kan indeed a person like that. (Smiling)”
---
Meanwhile.
“K-head of academy, no important news.” (??)
“What's up?”
“Seoang students managed to answer all the answers of special exams correctly.”
“Hoooo, who is that student?”
“Ari.”
“Interesting, it is very interesting.”
