Chapter 181: Start of my fourth year (1)



This evening, I intend to spend time with Angela. Over the last year, the relationship between us entered a stage where Angela became dependent on me. I became the dominant one, well most of the time. There are still times, when I have to listen to her, just like now.

She informed me to come to her, on the same day that I returned to the academy. This was why I returned to the academy in the evening, instead of at night.

If there was a romance option for the night, I don\'t want to wake up late in the morning.

I want to pick the best of the missions and see if my luck is on those missions.

Yes, I was hoping to have some favourable encounters during the mission.

Thinking about the next day, I reached the training room of Angela.

---

"Oh, Celine, I didn\'t think you would be here. I can come back later," I said to the twins as I was about to leave.

Celine stopped me saying, "You can stay Magnus. I am about to leave anyway\', and then turned to Angela, "Think about it, Angela. See you later", and then she left the room.

Looks like I walked into a private situation between the sisters. It felt a bit awkward, though I have no idea why. Wait, she knew my name.

SHE KNEW MY NAME!

WHY WOULD SHE KNOW MY NAME?

I never had interactions with her. I only attended the classes that she taught but the last class was more than a year ago and that was when she taught more than five hundred students.

The only time she could have known me from classes was more than two years ago and she still remembered me from then.

Probably, but less likely.

Did Angela mention me to her?

Wait, Angela, what were they talking about before I interrupted them with my untimely arrival?

"Angela, is this a bad time? Should I leave?" I asked her, who had been silent since Celine left us.

I don\'t doubt that she doesn\'t know about my presence. Celine spoke my name. So Angela should know that I am still here but she didn\'t greet me or anything.

Whatever they spoke about must have involved some pretty heavy stuff or she would have at least acknowledged me by now.

The longer I stay here, the more awkward it would be for her to greet me. So instead I broke the ice between us. If it were any longer it would be too awkward for either of us to speak up first. It would be a just waste of time.

Since there might be something serious happening between the twins, I decided to give her a break and started the conversation.

Angela didn\'t answer for a few seconds and then she spoke, "I\'ll contact you later Magnus".

I nodded, "Okay, I am leaving", I said and left her training room.

I don\'t know what happened between those two but I am not going to poke in that matter unless Angela wants to. Though our relationship progressed very much, it was not at a stage where we would speak about our worries to each other and help each other in quelling those worries.

We are partners but not a couple yet. If we are categorized, I say we are sexual partners at this point. Of course, we would speak about each other to one another but the matters remained to the ones on the surface level.

We never involved ourselves in speaking matters of heart to each other.

Maybe I should, if I ever hope our relationship to progress any further, but not today. If I suggest that at this point, it would look like forcing my opinion on her. No, if she wants to talk, that should come from her.

The decision in matters such as this should come from both of us, not from a single partner.

She would talk to me when she wants to talk to me and if she wants to talk to me about it. Until then, I decided to give her some space.

---

I returned to my quarters after leaving the training room. Once I was back, I ordered dinner for the night.

Usually, with my mother present, she would pack some food to take with me whenever I returned to the academy. Now though, she was not present. So no food for me from the home tonight. I had to fill my stomach from the academy\'s canteen.

Since not all the students had arrived by then, the delivery was a bit slow. This was because these are usually taken by the first to third-year students.

Since the first years had yet to join the academy and the ones who were third-year last year were now the fourth year, the students who are on those jobs are low now.

Anyway, after having my dinner, I spent some time with Asya and then went to sleep.

---

Ah, the sleep was not enough. I want to sleep for some more time. I kind of became a lazy ass in the last six months or so, after I successfully took the Tier-6 promotion mission and completed it.

It has been months but not even a single level in my rank moved.

I wanted to have a slow life but I feel that this life is too slow. I should improve myself at a constant rate, but while I improve myself, I should keep in mind that levelling up is not the only thing in this world. I need to enjoy what the world has to offer.

I got a second life and have a chance to not repeat the mistakes that I committed in my past life, but here I am almost making the same mistakes in a different way.

First, I worked too hard and improved faster than anyone else. Sure that "accidental" demon kill helped me to achieve such rank faster but in order to not fall into the schemes of others I worked harder than anyone.

No one can blame me for that, not even me. There was an attempt on me when I was on my adventuring session before I got into the academy. There were assassins who tried to kill me in the forests. Though they failed to do so, nonetheless there was an attempt and that means there could be others if there was a chance.

The worst was that the attack was initiated by someone from my family.

This made me hide even more than I used to and work harder than anything before. One after another there was one reason or another that made me push forward pretty fast.

So when I got a chance to slow down, I did but I slowed down too much that I appear as a lazy person. Once I enter such a stage, it would be difficult to pull back myself up.

The fall is easy while the rise is very difficult, no matter where.

I should pick myself up quickly before I fall into that zone. If I fall into that zone, then there would be nothing that could save me at that point. In this world, being lazy would mean signing their own death certificate.

Even in the 21st century Earth, society was never nice to the weak. Sure it appears that it was nice but it wasn\'t.

The only pro was that it was possible to become strong as long you worked hard and talent to reach the top. Sure that was not a hundred percent guarantee, but the odds were pretty good compared to the society that I live in.

The laws now are not as tight as they were on Earth.

In this world, the word of a noble or an awakener weighs more than that of a commoner. Unless you have proper evidence that the one you are fighting against in a court has done wrong to you, you can\'t win.

Even if you win, what then?

If that person was a sadist, then would that one would leave you alone?

Would he leave your descendants alone?

An awakener can live longer than someone who didn\'t awaken. It means though he may not act against you, he can still wipe out your descendants in the future.

The fear of such happenings had stopped commoners from fighting someone higher than them most of the time. There are a few who would fight, not fearing for the future but for the present, hoping that their future can be bright, but that\'s not always possible.

Wait, what am I saying?

Yes, I should stop being lazy. I should enjoy life but should work hard enough to not end up in the weak zone.
