One month passed away like it was nothing.
Though I didn't train much, I have no regrets.

What do we train for?
It's to gain strength and what is its purpose, if not to enable us to live longer? Long life is so that we can spend more time with the one that we care about.
If we forget that and spend every minute only improving ourselves, then we might not be able to have what we should have.
Memories.
With the rank I am at now and the possible ranks that I can each in the future, I will live longer but that would be grown-ass me. I would miss out my childhood memories if I only keep increasing my strength and forget about other things.
Before I could graduate from the academy, I would become an adult ad it would continue to be so till my end. There is no way to reverse to childhood and enjoy the life as a child.
So whatever I could enjoy as a young child, I have two or three years at most and I intend to make sure I make unforgettable memories. When I grow old and about to die, I don't want to have regrets.
I am not sure whether that I can reinarnate again or not. It's not like there is a guide book for reincarnates.
Whether there is another reincarnation in line or not, that would not be me, certainly not this me. That me would be a different person. I can't be thinking about that me but this me.

By evening, I returned to the academy without any trouble in the way. I went first to the office to collect my room keys.
I had left them, when I went on a break. I need to collect keys from them or else I couldn't enter my assigned quarters.
It didn't take long before the keys were handed to me and I returned to my familiar quarters.
When I walked by, I felt that there are some changes in the living quarters near me. I am first as before. So my quarters remained same. Malia remained same too. So she should be in the one adjacent to mine.
I don't know who the other ranks are but there are one or two auras that didn't used to be here last semester.
It looks someone slacked just because they were top ten in the entrance exam and now has to face the consequences of that. They would lose out points that the top ten would get and that would mean that they would start to fall behind as long as these new members don't slack.
Anyway, from tomorrow my training restarts. I should plan my training properly so that can maximize the benefits that I can gain in the secret realm. This was not something I can enter again. So whatever I can gain the first time would all that I would have.
I should ask Angela to teach me the combat part of using hands. I would have to face a lot of monsters in the secret realm and if I ran out of mana, well I wouldn't but that's what I have to say to make her accept that there is no other way other than teaching me some moves to kill the monsters using bare hands.
I am a spellcaster and by definition, I have to make killings from afar but killing them from far away seemed unfulfilling. Only when I used the staff did I feel the kill. I want to see what sort of feeling would rise if I did it with bare hands.
More than that I want to see how strong my physical body is without any external help like magic or weapons.
Hmm, the training remains the same but I should make Angela alter a little bit of her training me. I hope it works.
