I entered the world of the game, but ironically, in this world, I couldn't visually verify the game's system.

'What about my health, strength, mana, and intelligence!'

It took Eugene a while to come to terms with the shock of losing the status window, which had been as familiar to Eugene as his own limbs and had previously informed him of his situation.

"Yeah. Maybe there's no status window."

After some time, once he had accepted the reality, Eugene regained his composure.

It was due to the foreign sensation he felt from his body.

"Is this mana?"

An intangible energy, starting from his core, flowed gently within him.

Eugene hadn't expected to feel this sensation so vividly.

Under the current circumstances, he believed he could alter the flow of mana inside him if he focused.

This capability stemmed from his unique Talent.

Due to this Talent that set him apart from others, Eugene, even though newly incarnated in this world, was intuitively understanding the way to use mana on his own.

"Like this?"

He gently guided the mana inside him,

"Or like this?"

And by accelerating its movement slightly, he became adept at controlling it.

Then an understanding dawned on him.

"So, this part, I should disconnect it?"

He sought a method to cut the delicate magic threads linked to Tina, Celine, and Yerina the Enlightenment Sharing.

"Let's see, focus."

Eugene began to identify the three areas in his body from which a trace of mana was seeping out.

It was a demanding task.

While it wasn't difficult to identify the general region, pinpointing the exact location of the mana leak was challenging.

This too will be a form of training, I guess.

Eugene considered it an exercise in mana control, losing track of time as he focused intently.

By the moment the gentle light of dawn graced him,This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Whew! Whew! Finally.

He had successfully located all of them.

Drawing a deep breath, Eugene pinpointed all three locations.

He channeled his magic like a thread and severed those points.

Subsequently, he was soaked through with sweat.

It even seemed that his sensitivity to mana had intensified.

Unexpectedly, he had practiced the circulation of mana within his body.

"This feels like the 'meditation' they talk about in the game?"

He might have been overly zealous since he wasn't familiar with the technique.

Without knowledge of the correct technique, Eugene seemed to have replicated an in-game training method named meditation channeling and accumulating the mana within.

"Ill need to set aside some time to learn the proper method, but"

Nonetheless, the outcome was outstanding.

Upon inhabiting his current body, Eugene found fragments of memories from the bodys original owner swirling in his mind.

By going over these memories slowly, it seemed that he could easily master something like meditation techniques.

Eugene determined his first task.

"First, lets take a bath. Ugh."

To wash away the sweat drenching his entire body, Eugene left the room and took a bath.

When he returned to the room and looked at the clock, it was time to go to school.

"I dont want to go."

Given Eugene's recent incarnation, he had a mountain of things to figure out.

The sword techniques and magic he had currently mastered, the sword techniques and magic he could learn later on, and based on that, how powerful he could become in the future...

He had to figure everything out.

I already skipped class yesterday.

Would missing another day make much of a difference?

Eugene, who didn't want to go to the Royal Academy, decided to take the day just for himself.

The previous owner of his body barely had any presence in the academy and had only been obsessed with the three heroines, so he didn't have friends.

So, no one knew that Eugene was staying in this inn, and there was no reason for anyone to come looking for him.

First, let's understand the sword techniques I possess.

There was no way to know what kind he was good at.

"I guess I'll just have to swing it around."

Since there was no other way.

Without any particular thought, Eugene held the sword, took a stance, and swung it from top to bottom.

A simple downward slash without any trick.

At that moment, Eugene felt a strange sensation, as if he was seeing from a third person's perspective.

The sword descended vertically through the air.

The blade, swung with no force, moved not a single blade of grass.

Eugene could find no flaw in the graceful movement of that sword.

'I just thought of slashing it down and swung.'

Is it at this level?

He was mesmerized by the swing of his own sword. No, he had been entranced from the very start.

Desiring to see the beautiful trajectory of the sword once more, Eugene simply swung again and again.

Naturally, his body and sword became one.

This training continued until the sun set.

Eugene acclimated to the unfamiliar body and confirmed the level of his swordsmanship.

And he also realized how extraordinarily talented he was.

"Is it already night?"

After the constant sword training, sweat dripped from his soaked clothes.

Yet, a smile graced Eugene's lips.

How much will this sword that he wields grow?

How powerful will it become?

Merely picturing it, Eugene couldn't restrain his upward-curling lips.

"Hehe."

They say games are fun when you're winning.

Swinging a sword for the first time in his life, with genius talent, he never knew it could be this fun.

After several more hours devoted to the sword, an exhausted Eugene ambled back to the inn.

Along the way, he recalled the random thoughts he had while training with the sword.

No matter how he thought about it, if he hadn't done anything to the heroines and focused on swordsmanship, he could have at least gained Celine's favor.

Of course, that user was probably unaware of this and played abnormally, trying to win the hearts of the three leads simultaneously.

"But even so."

With this guy's body swinging the sword so perfectly, how could the heroines' affection scores be so disastrously low?

Eugene thought about it.

And after a not-so-lengthy contemplation, he found his answer.

No matter how exceptional the swordsmanship, one must have discerning eyes to recognize it.

Even if the students of the Royal Academy of Lucia hailed from all over the continent for their talents, they were essentially just 16-year-old novices when they were first-years.

Even when they witnessed the protagonist's swordsmanship during training, they probably only thought of it as slightly better than average.

They simply lacked the discerning eye.

However, Celine seemed to have noticed the protagonist's swordsmanship a few times.

This fool hardly ever swung his sword properly during swordsmanship training.

Being such a fool, the protagonist only swung his sword to the bare minimum required by the instructors, and was mostly occupied sneaking glances at Tina and Celine as they practiced.

There were a few instructors who sensed the unique talent from the protagonist's minimal sword demonstrations and approached him.

But they must have been turned off by his consistently ridiculous behavior.

Because he was obsessed with women.

People could be obsessed with gambling, or with alcohol, or with women.

However, being obsessed with women seemed the most pathetic of all.

The protagonist's repulsive aura, even with his impressive Sword Soul, was probably too much to bear.

And now, that protagonist was me.

I'm going crazy, seriously.

Just the thought of heading to the Royal Academy tomorrow made his back stiffen.

The way Tina and Celine looked at Eugene would, from tomorrow, undoubtedly become even colder and more indifferent.

Tina, probably drawing a line,

And Celine, genuinely disappointed.

Whether they act that way or not, honestly, I don't really care.

But it was still unfair.

Thinking about a future where he'd endure cold looks for foolish actions he didn't even commit, Eugene trudged on.
