Chapter 13: Gymnasium (2)

Start from the beginning
                                    

I looked at Adelia, who looked nervous and asked a question.

"Are you friends with my sister by any chance?"

"Huh..."

Adelia looked at Nicole as she was about to answer. Nicole still had an angry expression on her face but responded with a flick of the chin.

At this, Adelia gave an awkward smile and answered quietly.

"Yes. We are friends. We've been together ever since we entered school."

"Then just speak informally. You're my sister's friend."

"Really? Is that okay?"

But I said without honorifics right away. When Adelia asked with a broad smile, I nodded, though I was dumbfounded.

At that, Adelia let out a sigh of relief, as if she was finally going to live, and started to speak at a rapid pace.

"I'm really, really, really sorry. I'll apologize again. I did it because I wanted to know who Nicole had brought. But I never dreamed it would be her brother."

"As I said before, I'm fine. It's a thing of the past, and you threw it with the expectation that my sister would be able to block it anyway, right? I am glad you didn't throw a dagger"

"I'm sorry, really sorry. If I threw it at someone other than Nicole, I would have been expelled"

"How can a girl who knows me play such a joke?"

Adelia couldn't come up with a good excuse when Nicole pressed her with a ferocious voice. She let out an embarrassing laugh and hesitated, then bowed her head in her apology.

Nicole, too, sighed heavily when Adelia seemed to be reflecting on her sincerity and reluctantly forgave her.

"Huff. Like I said before, don't play a prank like that from now on. I don't know if it's only once or twice, but every time I come to the gym, I get annoyed too."

"I'm sorry..."

"Sister. Have you been like this since the beginning?"

"It's always been like this every time I come to the gym."

Somehow the reaction was quick. It seems that Adelia's criminal record was more than once or twice.

Nicole must have been quite annoyed when she joked around like this every time she came to the gym. Besides, today, even more so, I, not anyone else but her younger brother, was almost in danger.

I looked at Nicole who was scratching her head, and suddenly a question came to mind, so I looked toward the entrance to the gym. The entrance was in the form of a long passageway, and it was dark inside with some light, but I could barely make out the figures.

But Adelia was certain that Nicole was coming from the darkness. Even if a familiar silhouette was walking, she wouldn't be convinced by that alone.

"Miss Adelia."

"Huh? Did you call me?"

"Can Adelia-san also grant mana to the eyes?"

"Of course. Even if it looks like this, it's as good as one skill."

It was a response full of pride. Obviously, seeing that she follows my older sister as a teaching assistant, her skills have already been proven.

If you're asking what the ability to inject mana into the eye has to do with skill, just think about how sensitive our eyes are.

Being able to check objects straight in the dark by injecting mana into the eyes proves that they are excellent at mana control.

I know this because I had asked my father when I first wrote Xenon's biography. My father was also delighted, and he told me that he had this and other abilities. Other than that, I created it separately by borrowing memories of my past life.
