Not in a weird way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the Class 1 Ainsidel’s eyes trembled uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His reaction was so excessive compared to the question that I became flustered instead. I waved my hand and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry. I just wanted to get closer, but it was too sudden.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Thump!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ainsidel slammed his glass down on the table, and beer filled it to the brim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He downed the alcohol without pausing for breath, then wiped his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Okay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why so solemn?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ainsidel now stared intently at me without blinking and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Of course. I asked if I could go because I’m okay. More importantly, isn't your stomach hurting? You’ll get sick if you keep pouring only alcohol without eating.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfectly fine. Me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ainsidel spoke nonsensically, shaking his head rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet his voice remained devoid of emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t mishear that earlier, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah. You heard correctly. And I really just meant I wanted to visit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know. I know. So, the words about coming to my house, those were your words?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I said so.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narrowing my eyes, I tilted my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he already had zero interest in my body language.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just gave up and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then when should we go? I need to formally greet your uncle, so how about going after finishing training on an afternoon when your uncle is home?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Yeah. No, first, I’ll go ask.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how I think about it, it’s surprising he accepts so readily. Though I was the one who brought it up first, that was with intention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s hard to believe this worked when we’re not close at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps he acted this way because he, like me, has intentions, but that reaction just now is rather baffling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Could it really be…?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then why isn’t the Favorability increasing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While I looked around, lost in thought, Ainsidel too had his gaze fixed on the opposite side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long silence followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Class 1 Ainsidel, who had been blinking idly for a long time, spoke lowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the first time I’m bringing a friend home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stared intently at his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eyes met Ainsidel’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My uncle… might say no. He’s strict. Still, I’ll try my best to persuade him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice had a strangely quickened rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only I had the Insight ability, I could know what he’s thinking right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I displayed his Favorability window, which still showed no stage progression, then dismissed it with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, we could just hang out in the dormitory, or if we really wanted to go out, we could hang out around the school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no reason to go all the way to someone else’s house just to hang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the Class 1 Ainsidel didn’t ask me for a reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Is he really just preoccupied with making friends, or does he have ulterior motives too?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humans with hidden intentions often show such unnatural behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like me, suddenly asking if I could go to his house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘More importantly…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hangover….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pressing my forehead firmly, I closed my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luca’s body really isn’t accustomed to alcohol. I didn’t think I was particularly drunk while drinking, but the aftermath is hitting hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Just three glasses, and it’s like this?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No. Three 500ml glasses, that is quite a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Luca’s body, that is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finishing the brief self-reflection, I took out an Elixir from my pocket and drank it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘To think I’d end up drinking Elixir as a hangover cure instead of Dawn.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The me from a year ago would have thought, what on earth does that mean? Truly, one never knows what lies ahead in life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narce, watching this, asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Want me to purify your liver~?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. Let’s start the meeting now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Right… Narce…. Let’s finish quickly and go train…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I came here now for the 3rd phase meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone seemed unwell, likely having stayed out late playing last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I probably look the same, but for me, it’s because I spent the hangover state purifying the entirety of Bavaria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narce opened his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First, this exam will be against a Grade 4 victim. You know this is the highest grade victim we’ll face in the field, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narce naturally took the role of our team leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though I’m 1st place, I didn’t particularly intend to lead, so it’s convenient someone else stepped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They told us to proceed as stored in Mimesis for this exam too. Of course, I think we need to consider that the school might throw us into a train station with ten thousand people like last time or drop us at an altitude of 2500m.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Narce. Do you anticipate how the school will act?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Haha, I’d need to see the professors’ faces to know that, but I haven’t really encountered them so far~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday and today, I only met my homeroom professor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the 1st Academy is setting the questions this time too, then Narce has no way of knowing either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other students, unaware of Narce’s abilities, just dismissed his words as a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, shall we discuss the important things first? Since I basically don’t have a Unique Ability, let’s go around starting from Oswald.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Divine Power is your Unique Ability~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oswald said, snapping his fingers playfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there’s a biggest problem in our team, it’s this friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This friend was the one who played Faust on the festival day previously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because of the memory of being attacked by Pleroma, or maybe it’s just his personality, he moves most aggressively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oswald pressed the tip of his nose firmly and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First off, mine isn’t particularly useful either. My sense of smell is good, but Vitriol doesn’t have a smell.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, certainly…. Still worth remembering. Then, Helene?” (*Note: Assuming 헬레네 is Helene, a female name.*)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narce pointed to another friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the two Class 1 friends who participated in the Potion Competition together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Invisibility. Though it only works when I’m in good condition, it’s still a Unique Ability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ooh~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oswald exclaimed in admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many students with quite noticeable Unique Abilities advanced in this exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s only natural; if everyone performs similarly well, you should pick the student with a good Unique Ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, I think the key will be how well one can apply and utilize their Unique Ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cool~ What range can you use it on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everything I’m touching. But the usable time is less than a minute.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Probably because it’s illusion-type magic. Maybe you could even use Divine Power later if you do well?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narce said that and looked at the next student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other one is just one of Leo’s numerous friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The type who considers themselves close to Leo, even though Leo himself doesn’t think so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And, like most of Leo’s friends—self-proclaimed—they don’t like me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether they like me or not is none of my business; as long as it doesn’t interfere with training, it’s fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I use fire. You saw during the exam yesterday, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guy said, looking back and forth between me and Ainsidel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't talking to me, though. He still seemed prideful about being pushed back despite being in the same field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moving on, when it became his turn, the Class 1 Ainsidel silently shook his head. Narce coaxed him with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, tell us. We might be able to utilize it if we do well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Useless. Especially in this kind of combat environment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll be the judge of that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Class 1 Ainsidel scanned Narce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Averting his gaze from him, Ainsidel said with a nonchalant face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can read the past by touching objects.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Objects? Hmm~ Cool ability?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narce asked, staring intently into his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do your family members also have abilities like this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Some others do, some similar. Why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, just that people with similar grains often have similar abilities. I asked because I personally thought it was a cool ability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Hmm…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, Narce easily grasps things like Unique Abilities even without asking. He easily figured out Asman’s Unique Ability before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can relatively quickly grasp things that are already determined and unchanging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, things that are currently changing constantly or are too entangled, he couldn't grasp easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deducing from past commonalities, that's how it seems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would have known Ainsidel’s Unique Ability without asking, so there must be a reason why he specifically asked to draw it out and inquired about his family having similar abilities too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, overall, it’s an ordinary combination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just Team 2, us, but Team 3 and Team 4 are the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, that’s enough sharing Unique Abilities. Shall we start training right away?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narce said, standing up from his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 3rd phase training went smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Is this really okay? Isn’t this easier than the 2nd phase?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no friend scared of me like Philip, and everyone utilizes their own Unique Abilities sufficiently to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other teams are probably similar, to the point where dropping 6 people from here seems more difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Anyway, it’s comfortable and good, I guess.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The school might pull another Zugspitze-like field, so I need to be vigilant, but worrying won’t solve anything, so I should enjoy this peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enjoy it to the fullest while I can.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After training ended, Narce encouraged the students and stood before the Class 1 Ainsidel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heike. You look happy today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do I?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Class 1 Ainsidel answered bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the record, outwardly, he didn’t look happy at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah. I felt you did well during the 2nd phase too, but today’s training was cool. I’ll look forward to next time too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narce said that and shouted to the students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, you can go back now. I’ll have a strategy meeting with Lucas.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“See you tomorrow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students waved and disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Class 1 Ainsidel remained beside me, then spoke bluntly just like before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go ask my family. If okay, let’s go today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he warped away, Narce cleaned up the empty training ground and led me outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Decided to go home?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Said his Unique Ability is reading the past of objects, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narce brought up out of the blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confirming the sound-proofing magic was deployed, I nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But that’s not all. From what I read, he can use it on people too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you talking about the past of the soul, or the past of the body?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is there much meaning in separating them~? I don’t know that far. Probably Heike himself doesn’t know well either since he hasn’t used the ability often.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narce plopped down in the rest area outside the training ground and continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Simply touching doesn’t activate the ability. Seeing as he doesn’t use it often, it probably activates only when he wills it. Still, since that friend is approaching you, be careful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brief silence fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narce, looking out the window, suddenly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And there’s one more thing you need to know, Lucas. That friend and Ainsidel have the same ability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using Ainsidel here instead of Heike clearly refers to one person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Reading the past is Ainsidel’s Unique Ability. Of course…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narce narrowed his eyes and touched his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Met him too briefly, and he’s a difficult type to read, so I couldn’t read anything beyond the Unique Ability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That was helpful enough. So that’s why you brought up family earlier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right. Usually, family members receive similar abilities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, they must be related by blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, Ainsidel introduced himself as ‘Ain,’ and I was the first one to utter his surname.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since I read the name Ainsidel through the status window, the possibility of him lying about his surname was somewhat low anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘To look so different, yet be related.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe they only don’t resemble in appearance, perhaps their insides are similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But, Narce.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does your Authority work fully on Heike?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile spread across Narce’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. Lucas, looks like you’re in a similar situation? You also have an ability similar to Insight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh-huh. There are some ambiguous parts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me too. Even trying to read, I feel like hitting roadblocks. Didn’t expect to encounter someone like this at school, surprising~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silently, I fell into thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps deciding not to dwell deeply on what he couldn't read further anyway, Narce had already moved on from Ainsidel and brought up another topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Lucas, do you like Sauerkraut?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm? Why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was at the food booth yesterday, and you kept coming down to buy Sauerkraut.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Less liking it, more just a familiar taste.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, right~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a white lump was seen peering this way from afar. Making eye contact with me, Elias quickly ran over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Break time must have just started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you guys here? Was surprised to see you just as I thought of you~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Talking about teammates.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Widening the range of the sound-proofing magic, I answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elias pulled out a chair and sat next to us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right~? Guys. I have something to tell you now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps sensing it, Narce spoke immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You went to check out Primrose Path again last night, didn't you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right. Went home. Because yesterday after the Arts Festival, the Primrose Path article suddenly disappeared from the Imperial Newspaper.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They took down the article?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Applying various charges and raiding them, and now this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Hmm…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intention is clearly visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was collusion with Primrose Path, and they intend to drop the investigation soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah. Soon the articles will disappear from local newspapers too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elias clenched his fists, his eyes wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Knew this would happen, already scraped the article and saved it~ Get it? Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thorough…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have to be. Listen. Does it make sense for all the Primrose Path establishments to band together and sue the Empire?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huhh? Makes sense, but their heads will roll soon~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right! Exactly. Then, do you think it makes sense for the prosecution, those things, to drop the investigation because they’re afraid of being sued?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Momentarily, my eyes met Narce’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘As expected…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are they planning to move so hastily when the heat hasn’t even died down?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If those guys are involved in the *Vitriol* incident as Elias suspects, things shouldn't proceed like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they committed more than just one or two crimes, yet they plan to turn a blind eye to this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like this story is going to get long, what are you guys doing later? Got time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I planned to go to Heike’s house.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elias asked, reacting strongly again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why go there?! Did they say it’s okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dunno. He just went to ask his family elder now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh…. Right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elias stroked his chin, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luca.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s a way to visit the Ainsidel ancestral home and also hear the Primrose Path story. Kill two birds with one stone, save time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just say it properly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go together.”\u003C\u002Fp>",2569,"2026-06-06T03:11:08.304Z",1,"novelbin.me","a932a6e5e3111dc11ad106bdb778f478628713b6fd4d5d834cb337fae53928dc","how-to-survive-as-the-second-son-of-a-mage-famil-chapter-161","how-to-survive-as-the-second-son-of-a-mage-famil-chapter-159",367,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhow-to-survive-as-the-second-son-of-a-mage-famil-cover.jpg"]
