chapter 11
When she first grabbed the sword, Kiana felt it.
The feel of the sword wrapped around his hand seemed to speak to Kiana.
this is your way
“I told you to stop being useless! Kiana Elias!”
A mother in an uncomfortable-looking dress opened Kiana’s door and shouted.
Apparently yesterday I was the youngest to master the ascending sword… Kiana did not understand her mother’s words.
My mother’s beautiful arms were wrinkled.
“I thought it was just a hobby, so I left it alone. Swordsmanship isn’t a bad thing!”
The mother opened the fan in her hand.
“By the way, what is the youngest rising swordsman?! What useless things are you doing! A child like you!”
The blushing mother was hot, so she cooled her face with a fan.
It’s the exact opposite of Master’s reaction yesterday.
Kiana smiled bitterly.
Suddenly, Kiana missed Master’s vulgar laughter.
“If you’re a girl, be a girl! Dress up your looks! Go to a social church! Stop wearing that kind of manly clothes!”
She repeated the words her mother always used to make sure she wasn’t tired of it.
In fact, when Kiana ran into her room, she had a thought.
Master’s smile was too bright when he performed the Ascending Swordsmanship.
Master’s proud smile made me think that he had really done a great job.
If this is enough, I think my mother will understand and be proud of Kiana.
expected
Kiana was as funny as she had expected.
In the end, to her mother, a daughter was nothing more than a pretty doll.
To keep it beautiful and nurture it to use it as a link with other families.
And Kiana was a special doll made by the family.
Until you grab the sword.
Unbearable, her mother threw things at Kiana.
Of course, avoiding Kiana’s face.
Kiana did not avoid flying objects.
“Why! You only rot inside me! Why! Like my sister Emma! Just! Listen to Mom!”
None of the objects thrown by my mother, who had only been walking for exercise all her life, did not hurt.
Kiana was saddened by the childlike power contained in the flying object.
Alas, my poor sister Emma.
Emma was different from Kiana.
Being a good child, she listened to her mother straight away.
Snow-white skin, almost unable to leave the room.
A child who always smiles brightly whenever she sees Kiana.
She likes melon bread, so whenever Kiana came back from the academy, she always asked for melon bread.
As much as Kiana went wrong, her mother expected Emma.
That must have been a burden on Emma.
“Please! Stop playing with swords like that!”
The mother who threw the object stopped breathing.
Tears welled up in her mother’s eyes.
“Didn’t you give birth so beautifully! Why are you playing with such an ignorant sword! He also had white skin… His hands weren’t so rough!”
Her mother took Kiana’s hand with trembling hands.
Swinging her sword, she patted Kiana’s callus-covered hand with her soft, soft hand as her mother couldn’t find it soft.
“I also understood the Hero Academy. There are many children from high-profile families! But what?! The talent of the century?! Why does a girl have a talent for swords!
As she was speaking, her mother slapped Kiana on the cheek, as if her anger had risen again.
This is surprising.
My mother didn’t touch Kiana’s face no matter what, because my grandmother’s childhood look was so similar to mine.
I felt a small pain in my cheek.
Even the mother who hit her on the cheek was surprised, and her eyes widened.
“Then please stop doing such useless things!”
The mother stroked Kiana’s cheek and turned around and left.
Obviously I was beaten, but why is my mother crying?
Kiana looked down at her callus-studded hands.
That’s ugly.
Kiana, who smiled exhaustedly, stood in front of a needlessly large mirror.
In the mirror stood a woman so beautiful that no one could deny it.
It was literally useless.
I’d rather be born ugly.
So that no one expects futile.
Kiana forcibly wrinkled her expression.
Of course, despite the effort, the face was beautiful.
It’s really useless.
***
Time passed again.
In the end, Kiana, who was stubborn, did not let go of her sword despite her mother’s opposition.
“No one would have perfected ascending swordsmanship like this at your age hahaha, you’re my disciple after all! Fuhahaha!”
Master smiled vulgarly and rolled on the ground.
Sometimes I had doubts.
Such a person is the greatest sword of the Empire.
“You are the next greatest sword of the empire! Kiana! It’s going to be hereditary! Phahaha! I can already see the death of Old Belle!”
Master turned his stomach upside down and laughed.
Is it such a great thing?
Kiana didn’t feel it.
“Huh? Kiana, aren’t you happy?”
After laughing for a while, the master raised his head and asked.
“I’m glad.”
Kiana put on the most joyous expression that could be expressed.
“After all, Kiana is such a boring kid! Fhahaha, what do you think! It’s the next greatest sword of the Empire! I miss Old Belle’s face soon! Fhahaha!”
Master rolled the floor again and laughed as the world passed away.
In the end, Kiana followed suit and smiled.
“What do you master ascension swordsmanship?!”
She threw the bread her mother had eaten in Kiana’s face.
Kiana realized that the bread didn’t hurt.
From now on, we’ll have to talk about awkward conversations at dinner time.
“Yes. The youngest age in the Empire.”
Kiana’s voice contained a pride she couldn’t hide.
“What are you doing at dinner?”
father yelled at mother
Mother took a deep breath and sat down again.
“Congratulations. It wasn’t a lie that the First Sword of the Empire told me that I had the best talent.”
My father said in a calm tone.
At the voice of her father, who had no high or low voice, Kiana wondered if she was really celebrating.
“thank you.”
“The engagement came from the Valentino family.”
The father spoke calmly and stared at Kiana with his golden, cold eyes.
“I will… become the best sword in the Empire.”
Kiana told her father her will for the first time.
“Is that so. Got it.”
Dad nodded and put the steak in his mouth.
After a little silence, the father’s mouth opened again.
“Emma’s wedding will be in half a year.”
the father said quietly.
“But Father!”
Kiana raised her voice for the first time.
Emma was too young to be engaged.
Even though he’s a kid who’s never left this mansion before, he’s getting married.
“It’s not your business. It’s a family business, so don’t worry about it.”
Eyes the same color as Kiana stared coldly.
Kiana hurriedly turned her head to look at Emma.
Emma smiled warmly at Kiana’s eyes.
The smile seemed to tell Kiana that it was okay.
Unable to bear the seat, Kiana ran out of the dining room.
“Kiana!”
I heard my mother’s angry voice.
Kiana recklessly left the mansion and walked.
The mansion grew unnecessarily ignorant.
As I walked aimlessly, I arrived at the place where I used to hide and play with my younger brother.
A place that only the two of us knew without anyone knowing.
On the floor were the pretty-shaped stones that we had collected.
Kiana squatted in the corner, just like her childhood.
He grabbed a handful of stones and threw them away.
Someone from behind gently grabbed Kiana’s shoulder.
“It’s okay- Sister.”
My brother said in a bright voice.
The arm holding Kiana was so thin that it felt like it would break if I held it tight.
“…are you okay?”
A dry voice came out of Kiana’s mouth.
“Yeah, of course it’s fine. He’s super handsome! He’s tall! He’s very popular. Well!”
His brother’s voice trembled slightly.
“So, your sister will definitely become the best swordsman in the empire! Then, if my future husband is abusive, she will come and punish me! Okay?!”
“Don’t worry. It’s sure to happen. If you make you cry, anyone will be cut down. Maybe- even if the opponent is the emperor.”
Kiana vowed and vowed to her brother’s trembling voice.
To become the first sword of the empire.
***
A letter came to Kiana’s room.
It was a letter from my brother.
It was about the fact that the marriage ended well and that the other man was also kind to him.
And he said that he was more handsome than I thought, and he said that he is happy, so don’t worry-
At the end, it was written that he would bring a lot of melon bread when he came to see him later.
In the end, Kiana was not invited to her sister’s wedding.
Kiana was disgusted with herself, feeling fortunate deep in her heart.
He ranted at himself, who sent his younger brother instead to do what he wanted to do.
I spent a while in the bathroom to empty my stomach.
Funny enough, I was hungry after emptying my stomach.
Kiana was so selfish and disgusting with herself.
Suddenly, I wanted to eat the melon bread that my brother said.
Kiana had never eaten melon bread before.
It was probably sold at the Academy canteen.
Kiana muttered a little and moved forward.
It was lunchtime, and the academy canteen was full of students.
Kiana stood in line to buy melon bread.
The students sneakily avoided such Kiana.
I have never done anything particularly harmful to others, but the students around me had a hard time with Kiana.
Sometimes it was lonely, but sometimes it was comfortable.
I was lonely now.
Two men were standing in front of Kiana.
“Hey damn it! Stop making weird noises!”
Vulgar and harsh words came out of the man’s mouth.
ah! remembered
It was the man who came in yesterday with dirt on his left shoe.
A man with slightly raised eyebrows that doesn’t make a good impression.
I don’t know for some reason, but he was a man with a sense of freedom.
Next to him stood a man the size of a bear.
The two seemed very friendly.
Kiana was envious of the two of them.
I used to look at men’s shoes.
This time, the man’s left shoe had dirt on it.
I’ll have to tell you later.
Soon the line got shorter and we reached the turn in front of Kiana.
A big man made a lot of this and that.
“I’m melon bread.”
A man said a word from the side.
Melon bread seems to be popular.
Will it be delicious? look forward to it
Kiana struggled to change her mind to melon bread.
The men who received the bread were excited and ran.
Finally it’s my turn
Kiana had never in her life waited so long for something.
“A melon bread, please.”
The voice ordering the order trembled with anticipation.
“Oh my gosh, how come the melon bread that student just took is the last melon bread…”
The store clerk told me.
no.
I don’t like melon bread, but now I really want to eat it.
It was unfair that Kiana could not eat even a single melon bread of her own will.
The sadness that I had endured for so long came up on a single melon bread.
Kiana forced herself to hold back her tears and hurriedly followed the boys.
I didn’t see a big man, but only a man with raised eyebrows.
“for a moment.”
Kiana called the man.
The man turned to Kiana’s voice.
The man had already torn the melon bread.
Seeing that, Kiana kept her throat choked.
“Some melon bread.”
Kiana, who was thirsty, couldn’t say anything behind the scenes for fear of crying unsightly.
“Ah yes!”
The man smiled brightly and gave Kiana half a melon bread.
The way you hand the half of the melon bread to Kiana without asking, it looks so warm.
Kiana couldn’t hold back her tears any longer and spilled them.
The man was bewildered by the sudden appearance of Kiana crying and handed the other half of the melon bread.
Kiana’s face was funny and warm, so she cried uncontrollably and laughed.
***
There is melon bread in the kiosk.
One of my soul foods is melon bread.
“Does Aiden smell like a coop?”
Kayle, who was walking next to me, made a strange noise and sniffed me.
“What kind of bullshit. And it doesn’t smell like shit!”
I got stabbed by Kayle’s words and smelled the clothes.
It doesn’t smell anything, but damn it.
Why do you keep smelling coop?
“I can feel the faint scent… This scent… Kate-chan?!”
Kayle closed her eyes for a moment and whispered Kate’s name into her mouth.
crazy shit.
“How do you know Kate’s scent. Crazy creepy.”
“Yeah! This scent smells like Kate-chan’s pale rose!”
Kayle stuck her nose in my clothes again and sniffed.
“Why is Kate-chan smelling here!”
Kayle, who grabbed my clothes roughly as if they were about to rip off my clothes, shouted.
“f*ck the kid! Get off!”
Even when I hit Kayle’s head with my fists, my hands still hurt.
“Now it just smells like coop.”
Kayle, who had been sticking to me for a while and smelling it, fell and murmured.
“Because it doesn’t smell like coop! Shit!”
As I was arguing, I arrived at the front of the store.
Because it was lunchtime, there were many students in front of the canteen.
We stood at the back of the line in a hurry.
Suddenly, students shouted all around.
I glanced around and saw the unlucky Kiana standing behind us.
It was scary to have no expression on his face, but he always looked perfect.
Maybe God made Kiana and made me when I was tired.
Should I keep this
I was worried, but the line up until now was a waste.
I tried to pretend I didn’t see Kiana and just stared in front of me.
“Is this the scent of Kiana-chan?! The faint scent of azalea mixed with the smell of iron!”
Again, Kayle had a seizure and began to bark.
“Hey damn it! Stop making weird noises!”
I don’t want to look hateful to such a predator.
I tried to stop Kayle by force, but to no avail.
“Ugh!”
Kayle looked back slightly and inflated herself with a strange sound effect.
“No, what kind of animal are you!”
Seeing Kyle like that, he shook his head.
Kayle inflated her body like that when an attractive woman approached her.
Is it a self-defense mechanism?
Fortunately, if you inflate your body, you can’t speak.
There was a tingling in the back of the head because of the predator’s feeling behind his back, but he was able to get to the canteen without any problems.
Kale swept everything according to his size.
“Give me melon bread!”
I ordered my soul food.
Warm Melon Bread, one of the few strengths of Hero Academy.
Kale even bought my melon bread cool.
After all, the man who keeps his promises, Kayle!
I gave Kyle a thumbs up.
“It’s a nice day to smell Kiana-chan’s scent without wanting! Then I’ll go!”
Kayle, who was far away from the classroom for the next class, said goodbye and disappeared.
Melon bread and an environment where no one sees.
My peace of mind has come.
I carefully opened the bag of melon bread.
I was mesmerized for a moment by the enchanting appearance of melon bread.
Ah, Melon Bread…
To relieve the tension of Melonpan-nim, who seems to have been taken off suddenly, I gently touched her to relieve her tension.
The moment when you are about to take a bite of Melonpan-nim, who has finally finished caressing.
“for a moment.”
A cold voice came from behind.
I forcibly turned my head, not turning.
I don’t know why, but Kiana approached with a lot of anger.
Why is that girl?!
I did nothing wrong really!
Without realizing it, my body hardened in the eyes of the predator.
I glanced at my shoes to see if there was any dirt on them.
Oops! There was some dirt on the left shoe.
But isn’t this outside the building yet?
“yes?!”
Kiana, very angry, came right in front of me.
I put on a face that was as good-natured as possible.
“Some melon bread.”
Kiana said in a cold voice.
No, I don’t think that’s too much.
Aristocrats who have many possessions take away commoners’ bread?!
Even that vicious bitch didn’t even put a verb in the sentence she asked for.
How much do you look at me like shit.
Of course, it’s f*cking shit, but I think this is lunch.
But as a herbivore, I had no choice but to manage my facial expressions.
He raised the corner of his lips that did not rise with all his might.
I couldn’t give it all because I couldn’t eat either.
I couldn’t betray my ship that was eagerly waiting for melon bread.
He moved his trembling hands and cut the melon bread in half.
I cut it in half exactly.
I gave Kiana half a melon loaf the most politely in my life.
Please be satisfied with this, Predator.
As soon as I handed him half of the melon bread, Kiana burst into tears.
shit?
Why are you crying all of a sudden?
Are you saying that I didn’t give you all of them now and cut them in half?
I had goosebumps all over my body.
real devil bitch
Yes, eat them all!
I forcibly handed the remaining half to Kiana as well.
Then Kiana laughed and cried.
crazy.
It was too terrifying for me.
Why are there so many weird kids these days?
I should have bought holy water and sprayed it.
You must go to the church and buy holy water.
I swore and promised again.
holy water. memo.
