One month, that was all the time that I have to spend home after the first semester. After the second semester there is that secret realm. Since I wanted to enter that realm, I can't return home.
I am sure that the academy would give a few days for the students that enter the secret realm. After all, the ones that enter the realm would be tired after a month of continuous battles inside the realm but the rest would probably too small to enjoy time at home.
With the teleportation circles, I can instantly return to home but the new year should have been started by that time. So the academy might allocate a few days to rest, probably until monthly exam but with that not far behind, I can't enjoy the time I would get like I planned to do so in this month.
So I decided to dedicate this month to the family. Moreover, Eritrea would come home in this month. Her military contract has expired. So she can come home at this time.
I don't know whether she would return to the military or not but I recall my parents discussing her wedding before I went away to the academy.
She is the oldest child and yet not married at this point.
Though people has the chance to live longer, noble heirs married early so that they would leave a heir of their own behind in case of emergencies.
Eritrea being Eritrea, didn't follow the norm. Moreover, my family is the kind of people who don't much follow those etiquette. Moreover, she left to serve in the military. So no one could say or do anything about that.
Now that her contract expires, there are preparations to marry her off. Whether she would marry into other families or wanted to inherit after our father, was still not clear.

Eritrea appeared two days after my arrival. The first thing that she did was "mother" me. Since there was a huge gap of age between us, she acted as a second mother for me.
If it was back on Earth, she would have been married and probably carrying her own child at this age.
How old is she you ask me?
I won't say as she would beat me up if she learned that I brought up the topic of her age. No matter what, I wouldn't involve myself in that affair, as that would be considered as bad for my health.
If she agrees to marriage, then I can be there for her as a brother. If she wasn't interested, that's her choice. Moreover, unlike on Earth, here people can live longer as long as they are awakened and ranked up. How long they survive depends on what rank they are able to reach.

The month long vacation is almost over and it was time to return to the academy. I spent a lot of time with my family learning more about the family affairs.
There was also a bit of shopping with my mother and sister. It burned a lot of my patience.
Moreover, I decided to spend some more time with Inari. After I entered the secret realm, it would be time to say goodbye to her. Wasting too much time in the academy on sex instead of training is something that is not permissible. So whenever I got a chance here we did it.
There was a neglection of training because of those reasons. A few times I did train and also a few spars with Eritrea but that was it.
I can use clones when I am alone but that won't be possible with others in the vicinity. So I could only do one thing at a time. Unlike at the academy, where one can't barge into other's quarters without persmission, I lack such privacy at home.

[A/N: Sorry I forgot to add Perception skill to the status panel though I mentioned it beforehand. After that, I forgot about its existence. So it was Lvl. 6 before the academy started and increased to Lvl. 12 at the academy.]

There are only three changes in my panel. There is a single level increase in Devour, Sexual Stamina and Parry skills. Except for that the status remained the same.
