72 Settling This Reincarnation of Peace Creator 'sMagician's

"Ah, you are here, Erwin-sama, Yuika-sama, Aura-sama"

"Ah, Marina-san, Good morning"

"Good morning"

Aura and Yuika answered at the same time, I lean back a bit and look at them one after the other and notice that they haven't exchange view to each other all this time, I just feel like Yuika only try to talk to me, she didn't look straight at Aura even when she asked Aura to sit on the bench before.

"I'm sorry to disturb, but, the breakfast is ready, please head to the dining room before the food gets cold"

"Well then, Yuika, can we pay again another time?"

"Eh...? why don't we do it after breakfast?"

"Ah, about that, I want to ask Elis-nee to have a little training session with me"

That's right, I want to be stronger, Elis-nee said she was one of the best graduates from the Blotyce academy, she must be so strong, watching and learning from someone stronger is the best way to get stronger itself, right? I can't let this chance to learn from Elis-nee slip just like that and after I saw her awesome magic, I can't just siting and waste my time here without doing anything.

I look at Yuika after having thoughts about what kind of training I should do with Elis-nee, she looks sad and she just looks down and let out a deep sigh.

"Don't be sad like that Yuika, we can play something once I'm done, alright?"

"Okay..."

"Now then, Erwin-sama, Yuika-sama, Aura-sama, let's go to the dining room, please follow me"

Marina-san is walking in front and I follow her from behind with Aura and Yuika, I haven't seen the dining room because yesterday I wasn't able to see the dining room yesterday since I ate my dinner in the kitchen.

"Now then, please enjoy the meal, I will excuse myself and call Elis-sama"

"Thank you Marina-san"

Marina-san just bows and leaves the room, she closes the door and leaves us in a silent moment for like 2 minutes.

"Should we eat now?"

I can't just sit here and not eat the served food on the table right? but why is this awkwardness suddenly appear, no one says anything to meltdown this situation, I know I'm hesitating after I saw so many foods lined up on the table, but Yuika has been here for a while, right? why is she hesitating now and not touching anything, I really wanted to pick up something and put it on my plate, but I don't know what to choose, this is too many to choose from.

"Ah, you all are here?"

"Ilya-nee... where did you go before?"

"Ah just went to my room to fix my hair a bit"

Ilya-nee is suddenly coming in the dining room, she looks a bit pale when I saw her close the door, but her expression suddenly changed, she sits across me next to Aura, I look around and still feels a bit strange with this dining room, the table is pretty big, it can even fit 12 people to sit here and do a dinner party.

"Ah Ilya-nee, why are your eyes red?"

"Eh? what is it? I'm sorry"

Ilya-nee quickly rubs her eyes, I don't understand why she did that, but her eye bags are a bit swollen, and her eyes look red, even the distance between our seats is a bit far, I can still see her eyes show me a bit of sadness.

"Are you fine Ilya-nee?"

"Eh? Ah, Don't worry Yuika-chan, I'm all good, come on, let's eat before the food get cold"

"Ah, yes"

I pick up some foods near me that I don't even recognize what that is.

"Is everyone else here?"

"Yes, Elis-sama"

The door opens and a red-haired girl enters the room, she is talking with Marina-san who's behind her, she isn't even looking at us when she enters the room.

"Oh you are right, ah, please don't mind me, you guys can enjoy your meal"

She said that and just sit next to me after that, she doesn't bother to sit next to Ilya-nee or somewhere else, she just sit straight next to me once she saw me.

"Hey, Ilya, would you reconsider it, please?"

"Eh? what is it?"

"Your little brother, please consider to enroll him to Blotyce academy, I'm sure he will become a great magician, I can feel it, his hidden talent, he has a lot of potentials"

Why is Elis-nee keep insist to enroll me in the Blotyce academy? I'm happy she said I had potential and even offered me to enroll under her name, but I think for her to keep pushing Ilya-nee to enroll me isn't a good thing, I don't mind even if I don't attend that academy.

"I-I..."

"Oh, it's here"

The door is suddenly open and uncle Alto is coming into the room, his hair still looks wet, I guess he just come out from bathroom after his morning bath, but he went to take a bath like 5 minutes ago, he took quite a fast one, well, at least he looks better than when he soaked in sweats this morning.

"Oh, uncle Alto, you're done with your morning bath?"

"Oh, Erwin, yeah, can I sit here Ilya?"

"Ah, please, don't mind me"

Uncle Alto takes a seat next to Ilya-nee and then just pick up some foods around him, it looks like he's familiar with the food and he didn't even hold back and take loads of food on his plate.

"So then Ilya, can you please think about it?"

"What are you guys talking about *munch *munch"

Uncle Alto... talking with your mouth full of food isn't good, how if you get chocked because of it? at least please gulp it down first or remain silent when you're eating

"Ah, Uncle-san, I was thinking about enrolling Erwin-kun to Blotyce academy, she had a talent as a magician, I saw it myself"

Elis-nee says it quite excitedly, she really wants me to attend Blotyce academy that much? I'm grateful for the compliments and the offer, but I can't decide it myself, because I don't want to be selfish to Ilya-nee, I don't want her to be sad because of me.

"Ah, about that *gulp, *burb ah excuse me"

Ew uncle Alto, try to close it before you let out the burb, I can still hear it from here even it's not that loud, what are you thinking to burb like that around these girls, and it's not even in your house.

"So, I heard it from Erwin, you said you want to enroll him under your name as a noble?"

"Yes, and I hope Ilya will give her permission to enroll Erwin, I will help him to get the scholarship"

"And how are you going to do it?"

"The test, the type of test they did always same every year, it will be a paper test and magic test, the paper test is about magic knowledge and the magic test is to hit a dummy target, I and Erwin-kun did that training this morning"

"Ah, you did a little match, right?"

"Yes, how did you know uncle-san?"

"Well, Erwin mentioned it before when he talked about your offer to enroll him in the Blotyce academy"

"Then you already understand, right? you agree with me, right, uncle-san?"

I keep myself low and try not to join in the conversation, I have no idea what they're talking about, so I think I will just join in when they ask me something.

"So what do you think Erwin?"

Wait, did uncle Alto just read my mind? I've been thinking it for a while, but, it seems that uncle Alto might have some kind of magic power to read people's minds or something, it's not the first time he did that.

I look at Ilya-nee, she looks at me and just gives me a small smile, I don't understand what she's trying to say, but, I think, I will just give them my honest thought.

"*Gulp Well, I think a magic academy sounds cool, and if I ever have a chance to attend to one, I would gladly accept it but with Ilya-nee's permission, and I don't want to leave her alone and just be selfish"

"So then Ilya, what do you think? If it's me, I would let him enroll since he will also enroll under a nobles name, Rosaku-san also said that he got talent after he saw Erwin used magic before"

"Rosaku-san? the person Erwin wanted to meet before?"

"Yes, and let me tell you this Ilya, he was once a royal magic researcher but got kicked out for some reason"

"Eh a magic researcher...?"

Elis-nee suddenly stand and hit the table, it makes my food almost jump off to my face, why is she suddenly got so excited? is it because she wanted to become a magic researcher? well, I think there is no other reason than that.

"Woah, calm there, yes he's a former magic researcher, and Ilya, what you think about that? a former magic researcher and also this girl said Erwin has a talent, he also said it himself, right? that he wanted to try to enroll if he gets a chance"

I keep on eating my food, I think I won't involve myself here for now.
