Volume 1 - They're Actual Monsters...

A few days before the fateful meeting between Corinna and Emilia, at the office of the Sirussiyan Embassy in Vienna, the royal capital of the Altair Kingdom where the Sirussiyan Ambassador of the Altair Kingdom is talking to someone via a crystal ball.

[Is this true, Your Eminence? The Holy Empire has found the first member of the Hero’s Party?]

[Ah indeed... indeed… A kid from the Kingdom of Arciesia of a common background. Our appraisers have identified the kid as the “Saintess”.]

[It must be a piece of good news for us!]

[Archbishop Leon, don’t celebrate this early. We haven’t found the Hero yet.]

[Ah yes yes! You’re right, Your Eminence.]

[Earnestly continue the search to find the Hero and bring that person to us. We already know where in the world that heroic aura came from at the time of that kid’s birth which is within your region of influence. 

We just need to pinpoint the exact location yet…]

[Yes, Your Eminence Pope Alvin VIII.]

...

The fuss with the discovery of the Saintess has reached the ears within the Celestial Duchy. And all I could hear is just the gossip from the wet market from the capital of the duchy, Celeste. 

Although those kinds of stuff just instigate trouble even if I touched that topic a little bit anyway so it’s better to feign ignorance… And speaking of that one…

[Emi! I want to learn magic!]

Yeah, I really want to feign ignorance about what my brother wants to do…

But sometimes, things just go haughty when something like this happens…

[Ara? You want to learn magic, Sir Clarence?]

My adoptive mother, who was a Magic Swordsman, Clara entered the room while carrying a tray of snacks. Clarence then immediately took a cookie from the plate when Mama Clara puts the plate full of cookies on the table within the gazebo inside the mansion grounds.

The said cookies were a new recipe from me which I made a few months back. But that's not the important part for now...

[Auntie Clara! I want to learn magic!]

[Sir Clarence, before that… Are you most certain that you’re willing to be responsible for even exercising or using like that when your face has a lot of crumbs.]

As Mama Clara said that, I immediately picked up a napkin cloth from the table and gave it to Clarence.

[Sir Clarence, here’s your napkin.]

[Thank you Emi.]

Indeed, indeed… Knowing Clarence at his age, if he actually learned magic and actually misused it, it’s always a matter of either life or death, or whether you actually broke the Kingdom’s laws or not…

[Say Emi…]

[Yes, Mama? What is it?]

[You’re nearing your 6th birthday, am I right?]

Now that I think about it, yeah… I’m actually going to be 6-years-old in the next few months… Not that I’m expecting something big or something like that, but you know… I could be around 23 years old right now if counting my previous life…

[Hmmm… When I was around 6 years old, your grandpa started teaching me magic and swordsmanship… Do you want to be trained by me?]

Eh?! Seriously!? Clara’s going to train me?! Wait... didn't I just hear very important information that even Mama Clara didn't tell me about?! Her father thought her both magic and swordsmanship?!

[Auntie Clara! Can I watch your training?! I want to see how you actually fight against what Marie-neechan said to us!]

[Oh? Marie? She told you that story huh… Ask for your parents’ permission first, and then we can talk about it.]

[Yes, Auntie Clara!]

Oh, man… I mean… Sure… Clarence could also watch me but to be honest, I’ve always been self-studying ever since before middle school in my past life.

[Emi-chan, you’re still not answering my question…]

[Ah! I’m sorry… I was spacing out a bit…]

[Ah don’t worry about that! I’ll be taking it easy on you when the training starts… But tomorrow, you need to be appraised by Her Royal Highness first… I’ll make sure you’ll go through it just fine.]

[Unn~!]

I replied as Mama Clara winked at me since she probably guessed that I’m a bit too tensed up in those kinds of manner which she’s actually half-right about it. Though the part where she’s wrong about that is the fact that I need to get ready for tomorrow’s appraisal.

...

When I was walking beside Mama Clara and Clarence on our way back to the mansion from the gazebo, we then passed by the knight hall's yard on that same day. The two of us had a chance to observe how knights and mages train… 

And what can I say? It’s too disappointing, although not on the knights’ side…

[Emi-chan, look look! Look how cool they are! I want to swing a sword one day like Father!]

I kept quiet even after that… What’s the reason for that?

[Emi-chan? Emi-chaaaan!]

[Emi-chan, is something wrong?]

Mama Clara quickly shakes my body a little bit, making my mind go back to where it belongs, my brain.

[O-Oh! I’m sorry, I’m just quite enthralled about how the mages train.]

It’s actually a lie, I am undoubtedly feeling such a weird chill full just knowing that I’ll have to go and be like those mages that need to chant their spells just to summon a spell… 

[O'fire, lend me your overpowering heat. Incinerate anything that's in front of me, Flame Lance!]

It’s really reminiscent of the time I was a complete chuunibyou… It’s so traumatic that I really want to just imagine it after all…

[Chantless Casting has been acquired.]

Ah… yes… of course… The status window would notify me of this… How convenient this Hero Skill has...

[Hero Skill – One of the effects of Anastasia’s Holy Blessing, provides the user with the necessary skill that is deemed effective to defeat the Demon Lord.]

Ah of course… My status would show this one as well...

...

After getting permission for Clarence to watch my training with Clara under the condition that Clarence must take up his ethics education early on, as well as for Mama Diana to appraise me using a magistone crystal ball. 

And to be honest, I’m not even sure if my Information Concealment Magic is enough to deceive everyone. As much as I really want to protect everyone within the household, I still want my peaceful life without any need for my involvement against the demons… 

And the day of the appraisal did come, and I'm inside the office room that Mama Diana uses along with Mama Clara, Papa Edmund, and Clarence too since he will be appraised as well...

While they were preparing for the appraisal ceremony, I can't help but look at the statuses of the four of them out of curiosity… 

But what I saw from my Deep Appraisal... it’s quite terrifying to even believe it with my own eyes…

Holy sh*t! They're literally like any overpowered characters from the light novels that I usually read! With their age being similar to that of an early adult... how in the world did they gain that much EXP, or even levels at first...? They're actual monsters on the battlefield if they were even unleashed...

Anyways... For now, I need to focus on trying to conceal my status for now... With that, I need to secretly do this while they're still preparing... Let me check my status first...
