'[The Human Kingdom, Luxion], a kingdom that has existed for 500 years and was led by the greatest monarch who fought alongside his four comrades for prosperity and to lead humanity.'

'As the Kingdom developed, the King's companions eventually became the great noble houses in the Kingdom.'

"Is that all you got?!" A boy shouted, tauntingly.

*TAK*

A sound being hit with wooden sword can be heard.

'One of the great houses, [The Welford family], they were the new noble family that has been a great help for the kingdom from generation to generation.'

'They were an adventurer who accompanied the old king in the war from a long time ago, and were rewarded with the title of the new Dukedom in the Kingdom.'

'The Kingdom had four Dukedoms, but due to [the Welford], there were now five, and they were referred to as [The Great Five Family] of [the Human Kingdom, Luxion].'

"Agh–!" Someone yelled, followed with another one.

'They were also the biggest noble family in history that produce strong heirs that enough to rivals the other noble families, and they have been supporting [The Royal family] since long ago.'

'Furthermore, the head of the Welford family and the present King of the new generation were buddies from their young age, so you can only imagine how powerful their connection are.'

'Not just that! The present head of the Welford family was a commoner like us who rose to the highest position as an adventurer and married the most beautiful and strongest woman in the Welford family.'

'As a result, their daughter, Iris was well-known as one of the Welford family's greatest geniuses throughout history.'

"Now, I understand, why her maid and guard were unfriendly to me." The boy finally replied after hearing the stories of one of the great noble families.

"And that also explains why the kids were surprised about me being friends with her."

'Yeah and also, that Alex kid that you met few days ago.'

'He came from one of those nobles family with the name [Schafer].'

'They were a family who produces people with [Mage] job and become one of the [Great Mage family] from generation to generation.'

"Oh, that explains, why he had low stamina."

*TAK* *BUAK*

Someone fell down to the ground and by the sound of it, they landed badly.

'Indeed, and are you done?'

"Yeah pretty much."

Rei replied after Ray explained about the five great noble families as he was standing there between the other kids who were lying down on the ground with exhausted look.

As you can see there is James, Hans, Bob, and even Alex himself. All of them were lying on the ground, whimpering in pain.

"Ugghh..."

Today Rei trained with the other kids in the village, they asked him to teach him a simple swords technique and how to fight.

The reason they asked him was because they wanted to become strong like him after they found out their own jobs. Surprisingly, James' job is [Warrior], Bob is [Guardian] while Hans and Alex, both of them are [Mage].

And now they're currently holding their painful arms and legs after they got the lesson literally beaten into their body.

Rei was standing between them and rested a wooden sword over his shoulder.

"I guess I overdid it..." Rei commented the scenery in front of him.

'You pretty much beating them up into pulp.' Ray replied to his comment.

"It's not my fault!...your training pretty much the same!" Rei yelled at him and watching the kids trying to get back up with much difficulty.

James was first to get up, "Ugh... just as expected aniki...you are so strong!" As he said.

Meanwhile, Bob and Hans just nodded their head as they remain on the ground.

Alex looked up towards Rei as he still on the ground, "If I may ask..."

"What is Ray-san actual job is... four of us couldn't hit you at all." Alex asked exhaustedly.

James was surprised, "Yeah!, aniki... I never ask about it!" He spoke and curious about his big bro [Job].

"Oh, I bet it's [Swordsman]!" Bob guessed confidently.

"Of course not you idiot! He is probably higher than that!" Hans retorted.

Rei laughed after hearing their guesses, "Hahaha! it's actually neither of them." He shook his head amusedly.

"Then, what is it aniki?" When James asked him, they were looking at him curiously together.

Which put Rei in a bad spot, "Hmmmm, I'm not that proud of it, but my job is [Blacksmith]." Then he answered with a smile.

"Huh?? HAAAAAHHH!!?"

The four of them went silent with their wide eyes and jaws that almost touched the ground.

"B-b-blacksmith!?!" They yelled in unison.

"W-wait? y-you were [Blacksmith]?!" Alex stuttered while in shock and even get up from the ground as if his tiredness just went away.

Rei shrugged nonchalantly, "Believe me or not, I'm a [Blacksmith]." As if it wasn't a big deal.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

"And the sword I used to kill those wolves, it was made by me." He even stated that.

"T-that sword?!" They were reminded of the sword he used to kill those wolves with so ease.

Though Alex didn't understand, because wasn't there in the scene, but somehow he felt admiration just from his imagination.

Alex then looked at him again, "But, h-how can you move like that? You are on the same level of soldier in my houses!" Alex continued.

"By training a lot of course." Rei raised his wooden sword and aimed it at them, "By doing push ups and sit ups to increase my muscle."

"By doing running to increased my stamina."

"And finally, doing sword training everyday to sharpen my sense." Rei explained.

The kids were still in a daze, they seemed to be struggling to process what's happening and his explanation.

But they know, what he did is something that no one would do, especially with production job as him.

James raised his hand, "B-but aniki! I have never seen you sword training before!" He spoke.

"Of course I did, remember when you first sneaked out from the village through that secret passage?" Rei asked him.

"Y-yeah?" James recalled and nodded quickly.

"And saw some marks around the trees?"

"Y-yeah?" James somewhat getting nervous by his question.

"Those marks were made by me, I always went there early in the morning everyday before playing with Emily."

"And even now, I still go there, before training you guys."

"So, do you need any proof that I need to show it." Rei replied confidently about his daily activities, except the night where he trained with Ray in his [Mind Realm].

James shook his head vigorously, "N-no, aniki."

"But just so you know, you guys can do the things I did, as long you guys never give up."

"So keep working towards and achieved your ideal strength, and the outcome will be fulfilling." Rei gave them some advice.

"Y-yes!" They replied together.

Then Hans raised his hand, "Ray aniki! Can we know if there is an easy method to improve ourselves?" He asked.

But Rei shook his head, "No, there is no easy method nor any skill that could get you strong faster, because those who took the easiest method to become strong, comes with a risk." He replied.

"W-what is the risk?" Hans asked once more.

"Hmmm, well...you can get crippled and lose your [Job] skill." Rei replied with a smile.

Which made Hans trembled in fear.

"But keep in mind, when you become strong, there will always be people who are stronger than you on outside of the world."

"Because that's also apply to me." Rei ended his explanation.

"For now, I will be giving you guys a tasks."

"First, James, you will be swinging your sword for around 100 times each days to increase your strength as a [Warrior], do not forget running and do some weight lifting as well to increased your stamina and endurance." Rei ordered him.

"Yes aniki!" James answered him confidently.

"Bob, you will be training on how to block any kind of attack to increase your sense, also join James training of weight lifting as well to increased your endurance as a [Guardian]." Rei pointed out Bob.

"Y-yes sir!" Bob answered him.

"Meanwhile for Hans and Alex… since you're a [Mage], I'm sorry that I don't have any knowledge for being a [Mage]."

"But I do know that you both had the same weaknesses."

"Which is stamina, so you both will have to run for whole day to increase them, oh and Alex, share some of your knowledge to him." Rei pointed on these two.

"Y-yes, Ray-san!" Alex replied while feeling confident.

"That's all I can say, so are we clear?" Rei finished it with smiling.

"Y-yes sir!" All of them shouted in sync.

"Good." Rei smiled, feeling quite good with himself.

Alex looked up at him with nothing but admiration of how strong he is, despite having an inferior job unlike himself.

"Now then, how about we call it off for to—" But before Rei could finished his words.

"Ummmm…Ray-san!" Alex interrupted and approached him.

"Yes?" Rei turned his head around to look at Alex.

"If we're done with our training, will you teach me—no, us, how to fight again!" Alex asked him with such determination on his eyes.

Rei looked at him as he slowly smiled.

"Of course, that was my plan to begin with. But now you all must go back home to rest and also…drink this."

Rei threw four bottles that was filled with green liquid inside of it. They caught the bottle and wondered what it could be.

"Ray-san, this is??" Alex asked, a bit confused.

"That's a healing potion of course." Rei said calmly.

"Heal potion?! W-wait where did you get this?!" Alex was surprised once again.

"Oh! this is...!" James said when he noticed where the item came from.

"Yeah, this is a healing potion made by my mom. Even if she looked like that, she was an [Alchemist] before." Rei explained to them with a grin, but the only one who was still shell-shocked was Alex.

"Alchemist?!" Alex freaked out, he should be tired hearing these mind boggling information which invaded his head but he's really not.

"Is [Alchemist] that rare??" Rei asked him while blinking his eyes.

"Of course it is! To think someone was able to create a healing potion like this—! You need a [Priest] to heal an injury!" Alex explained.

"I see, well…Alex-kun. How about we have a talk together? I wanted to know about the outside world." Rei suggested, genuinely curious.

"Ohh! I wanna hear it too!" James agreed while the other two nodded quickly.

"W-well sure? hehehe~" Alex said while rubbing the back of his head and his cheek began to blush, feeling flustered at the sudden attention.

Rei smiled as he wondered a bit in his head while looking up the sky.

'Outside world huh...I wonder how Iris-san is doing.' And wondering about Iris current situation.

*****

Meanwhile in the Human Kingdom Luxion, Iris was found in the terrace of her room and sitting on the chair while holding a book. The weather is clear and nice today, that's why she chose this particular spot to sit and spend her time.

While wondering the same thing as she looked at the book she's holding.

'I wonder, how is Ray-sama doing?'

Iris thought, deep in her daydream.

Until suddenly.

"Ojou-sama... ojou-sama!"

A voice from her side snapped her back to real world.

Iris flinched, "Y-yes?!" Then she turned around to see who was the one that called her.

It was Silvi's voice.

Silvi is Iris' personal maid, she has been working for her ever since she was born. She has a white silver hair and violet eyes and a slim body.

She was standing right beside of her all this time while Iris was busy daydreaming.

"Mouu~ Ojou-sama, were you daydreaming again? How many times was it?"

Silvi nagged while pouring a cup of tea in front of her.

"Ehehe~ sorry, I just can't help it~"

Iris chuckled while rubbing the back of her head. She was wearing wearing a white dress and styled her hair into pony tail.

"So…what is it exactly? May I know what you've been thinking about?"

Silvi asked politely while tilting her head to the side.

"Eh? Ah…Ahaha~ it was nothing~"

'I can't say that i was daydreaming about Ray-sama...'

Iris deflected while trying to hide the truth.

The maid sighed and couldn't help but to smile at her.

'She must be thinking about that boy again.' Silvi guessed, and when they looked at each other, both of them just laughed it off.

The laughter eventually went down and they went back to what they were doing again.

As Iris resumed her reading, she began to review about herself once again.

'Let's start again, [Iris Mei Welford]—the daughter of the [Welford Family].'

'Including myself, The Welford have four family members, the head of the family—[Henry Von Welford], his wife—[Eliza Luth Welford], the first son and the heir of the family—[Albert Dragh Welford].'

'The Welford family is one of the powerhouse in the Human Kingdom, Luxion. They have been supporting the royal family ever since the kingdom was established.'

Iris took a sip of her tea while reading the book, she suddenly sighed.

'And...It's been three months ever since I woke up into this world.'

'It is like a dream, but I still feel conflicted since this world was based off of [the Otome game] that I played.'

Iris flipped another page of her books.

'Otome game, was called as [Fantasia Love, Doki-doki ♡ in Magic Academy].'

'Despite having such a cringe and weird name, it is still the most popular game in the present for otaku girls like me.'

'And I have two roles in this world. [The Villainess] A.K.A [Iris Mei Welford] and [The Other Worlder] A.K.A myself [Hanamachii Yomi].'

'Of all characters, I got stuck into a Villainess' body who known as the most notorious character in the game.'

'And somehow...' Iris could see the reflection of herself on her tea, 'She looked exactly like me in that world.'

'Is it a coincidence? No, I mean I already had a feeling that she look exactly like me the moment, I seen her in the game.'

'Moreover, she had so many death flag in the game...so, I need to stay low, so I won't die in the future.'

'Though, being a daughter of well-known family, I can somehow relate that she can be too popular.'

Iris sighed once again which makes Silvi worried over her.

'But, the thing that I never expected was...him, [Ray Houston].'

'I never knew that Ray-sama could be that strong...because I knew him in the game, and he was never that strong."

'And the power he shown that night...it was [irregular].'

'Especially his eyes, I remember that Ray-sama should have both golden eyes color, but why does his right eye was red...? Is it because of my influence in this world?'

'And those attitudes and personality...'

"The more I think about it, the more he resembled [him].'

'Is he...fine in the real world?" When Iris thought about this person, she saddened. "It's my fault..."

Iris murmured softly then sighed once again before she closed her book. She glanced over the flower bookmark that Rei gave to her and it made her smile.

"But if he wake up...then he would look like current Ray-sama~ fufu~"

Iris giggled, Silvi who was watching by her side just simply smiled seeing her young lady this happy about something.

"Now then! Let's start training~ training~" Iris said after she put the bookmark on her book and closed it.

She decided to get back on her feet after that and stretched her body a bit.

"Silvi! Prepare my equipment and snacks! I'm going to train again!~"

Iris ordered with a smile while Silvi—the ever faithful servant, bow her head.

"Yes! Ojou-sama!" Silvi replied and started preparing the snacks and her equipment.

When Silvi finally left her alone in the terrace, Iris spoke quietly.

Iris saw her status and she exhaled once again.

"No matter how many times I see this, just as expected [The Villainess]…she have an abnormally strong status. Especially her ridiculously high Intelligence because of her titles and mine."

"And her current skills are already strong enough...which giving me a headache. But why does she have a [Light Magic]?? If I remember, the only one who have this is [The Heroine] in the game?"

"Bug? No...is it because of me being here?"

Iris closed her status and walked out from her terraces towards her room.

"I shouldn't think too much about it. Right now, I need to make myself stronger...and I will live...live to go back to his side as soon as possible."

'Because...no matter who it is...if they try to get in my way...I won't hesitate to kill them...'

While Iris vowed to herself with nothing but determination, her eyes that was blue-sky in color, changed into red-blood for a moment as she waited for Silvi and went to the training place.

The path of the young blacksmith have been sown, giving birth to another path for this young villainess to finally step into her next arc.

To be continued...
