[Chapter 5: Good Morning, Princess]

~~~~~~~~~~

The first night after reincarnation, I slept like a baby.

Tired? Yes, I was too tired to the point that I fainted once I rested on the bed all in the suffocating dress.

Waking up like that, my body was all stiff from the way I slept.

"I really need some comfy t-shirt and some shorts to crash in." I spat out a sigh while regaining the memories of yesterday.

I was still frustrated and that was mostly due to this.

It was just telling me to survive. The hell am I supposed to do? No time limit, no hint, no rewards, no penalty.

Anyway, my worry wouldn't solve it anyway so I had to just go on and put it aside for now and focus on today, the second day since my reincarnation.

The Sun was shining, and the birds were chirping… then pooped at the window.

"Perfect! Where was I?"

Right, a new day. I should collect the Handgun I want from the family's Gunsmith; go through the Knights' Training Manual father gave me; prepare for the exams in two weeks; decide what career I will take after graduation; prepare some fancy dress for the Academy's Summer Festival three days after the finals where the Grades will be revealed; and survive a Heroine, a Prince, a Brother, a Friend, and some Hidden Destruction Route I idiotically avoided reading its spoilers. A completely normal day for a normal high-class lady.

Not stressed at all!

Now, let's just get rid of this dress and go into something comfy.

"System Shop, my man. Lady clothes, one set, a T-shirt, some shorts, underwear, you know the drill."

"Shoot! Fine, let's see… this, this and this."

Good, 180 SP from my 590, this lady knows how to spend.

I was about to purchase but I saw an option called "Customization".

Curiously tabbing on it opened a bigger window where it showed the item I have and along with customization options.

≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈

Well, that is… actually pretty awesome. I can do just about anything here. This is really something! I transformed the grey T-shirt into some green looking thing with a chess pattern then returned it back to its default grey color when I realized that Customizing ups the price.

A lady must know how to spend. Plain or whatever, I'll go with what I have until we get super rich.

I got rid of the dress after a series of painful twists and put myself in the comfy underwear, T-shirt and shorts.

"Ah! What a bless!"

What's next? Let's see… the Knight Training Manual.

As I held it and opened the first chapter, I read some words about some Martial beliefs and discipline... Yup, I'm on board… Heart of a Knight and whatnot.. maybe I'm not that knightish… Women and Cowards shouldn't train the noble art of knighthood…… Eat shit, asshole!

Who wrote that dumb shit?

Roland Moore!

Whoops, sorry grandpa! Love you.

Now to the meat and potatoes of things. The book says that the theory about Aura Knights is Harnessing the Magic Power to Refine the Body through intense pain and exposure to the elements.

Pain and Exposure?! What kind of perv were you, Grandpa?

Then again, isn't this just some normal gymnastics combined with Magical Philosophy?

So the Knights train their body normally to the point of intense pain and then the Magic Power of the Elements enters their body and enhances it similar to the way Metal is forged, one must put the metal in the heat of an oven then refine it to the best form and volume. The Knights Manual in my hand is just like that but some training sketches show extreme kinds of training like carrying rocks and shattering trees. The more refined the training technique, the more benefit returns to the body of the knight. Kinda cool actually!

"Okay, I'll learn it alongside the Training I know from the Organization."

« Would you like to register the "Moore Knights Training" in the System? »

« Would you like to restore the record "Medjay Special Regime" from the "Dormant Records" and register it in the System? »

"... You can do that? I'm not sure if I am going to regret this or not but yeah… Do it."

« Registration Complete! »

« Similar Data Values Detected! »

« Combining! »

"Wait! What are you combining! Stop right here, you dumb computer! I am the human here! … This Broken System… That's why I was afraid."

« Process Complete! By combining the B-Rank Moore Knights Training Manual with the Medjay Special Regime methods that were refined by years of constant scientific research, an SS-Rank Aura Training was created. »

« "Medjay Knight Training Regime" was registered! »

« New Quest Added: {Medjay Knight Training} »

Woah there! What have I done now?

SS-Rank? Daily Quest? Bonus SP? Free Panacea? Deducting SP?

I am so lost right now. A Medjay Knight you say? Now I feel like I have put myself in another troublesome situation.

The System generously offered me a brief description of the training manual it came up with and I skimmed through it fast. The important information was easy to get in my head anyway thanks to the [D-Rank Scholar] skill and I've got to admit, the stuff given by the System are super legit.

Anyway, I feel like I am fulfilled for the time being, I'll return the book to Father and tell him that I am training on agility now. Must not tell him that the family training manual in my hands has turned from B to SS or whatever that is.

Looking at my bed, I saw that 'Spatial Bag' I got yesterday. It is basically a palm-sized sanchel that can be combined with a leather belt.

≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
[Spatial Bag] <Rare>
• Capacity: 4 square meters
• Weight Reduction: 1/10
• Bound to Vivian
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈

This thing is a marvel. Noble houses have storage items like that but nothing this amazing as far as I am aware. Also, it is bound to me like everything else that comes from the System meaning I can't lose it and it can't be stolen.

Inside the bag, there was only the [Push Dagger]. Retrieving it was quite easy and felt like doing magic. Well… it is actually Magic.

Part of me is still excited about Magic which Nadia never knew while Vivian was kinda scared of being called a Witch… This identity crisis of mine needs a lot of work.

Now, let's stop dallying and get to work. Breakfast is a must.

I walked to the door of my room and opened it wide for my whole being to be suddenly stunned and for a stupid look to appear on my dumb face.

In front of me was a man who raised his hands about to knock at my door, this man was tall, brown curly-haired with a light beard, green eyed, dangerously staring, and seeing me in a T-shirt and Shorts.

"..."

"..."

*Slam*

And I slammed the door right away.

Okay, calm down. He didn't see anything.

Everything is going to be alri… WHATTHEFUCK!

This was dangerous.

Do not panic! Do not panic!

You are a big girl!

No! I'm panicking.

"System Shop, an old fashioned Long Skirt and a full-sleeved shirt right now. Make sure the skirt covers my ankles.

« Price: 100 SP »

"You thief… dammit! Fine."

The long skirt appeared before me and I hopped in it.

Safe!

Now, he must have seen only a blur. I moved fast. I am a nimble girl. He'll think it is nothing.

Good!

And I opened the door again only to see Mr. Dangerous but Handsome on the other side of the hallway making a serious face the moment he saw me.

NO! He clearly saw everything!

"Excuse me… Lady Vivian." He spoke to me with an awkward tone.

Somehow, his voice was soothing and I recognized it.

"L… Logan?"

"Ehem… Silver Ranked Knight Logan, in service of Lady Vivian." He bowed while saying.

Logan… my friend Logan… he… bowing?

"You changed…" Unconsciously, I said.

By that point, I just forgot everything that happened a while ago. Logan is… he is my friend. He used to be by my side with James but at some point after mother's death, everything crumbled apart and we were all separated. Now, he rather grew much taller in that time I didn't see him and gained a rougher look compared to the past.

"Yes, my lady. I guess we all did change." Logan replied remorsefully but he surely realized where that got wrong.

I mean, I surely grew up as well or whatever… let's just ignore and forget.

"It has been a very long time, Logan. I didn't even recognize you by the blazes!"

"Yes, it is as you say, Lady Viv…"

"Hey, don't call me Lady, we are friends."

"Ehem… excuse me, my lady, but Lord Julian has insisted that I…"

"I insist, Logan. Remember when you beat me up once?" I said as a long lost memory suddenly rushed to my head.

"EH! How… can… No! That was a long time ago." Afraid of what I might bring up, Logan cleared his throat and acted forgetful.

"I was the one at fault if I remember. I shouldn't have put the earthworms in James' tea because I was upset you guys went to play without me… and he certainly did it again." The last part came out a bit heavy on me.

"You really remember things well, my lady." Logan agreed with the same nostalgic face.

"Yeah, that was twelve years ago."

There was nothing of Nadia in that conversation just now. It was all the old Vivian taking the lead.

Logan, my childhood friend and now my knight. How can my life be so blessed after having a really bad three days?

Seeing him again was like a breath of fresh air dusting the gloom away. Now, I finally have another Ally I can trust after Father. I know Logan well.

"Fine, I'll allow you to only call me 'Lady' in the presence of others, other than that, we are friends here."

"... As you wish, Princess."

"Heh heh! Princess this time? Thankfully, that is not happening anymore." I said with a moody smile.

Logan finally returned as a Silver Knight after so long. He brought a warm feeling to my heart reminding me of the time with him and James. In summer, we would play and fool around all day the three of us. I was just a little girl running after them but they kept me close and played with me. Logan, my childhood friend and James my dear old brother.

If only the three of us can reunite again, nothing in the world will stand in our way.

"Why are you silent, Princess?"

"Eh! Nothing. Just remembered James and us." I realized that my eyes have turned moisty.

"Yes. The old times. He must be making a name for House Moore in Avalon now." Logan said.

"Indeed. Unlike some little fool, my older brother is the true spirit of our house."

Remembering these things always left my heart with warmth. How much of a fool was I to take poison for a minor setback when I have such amazing people in my life?

*Growl*

"And that's the glutton we know and love." He said.

"Oh, come on! It is the morning."

"Then it is good morning, Princess."
