Uhhh…

When Yona woke up with his body aching all over, he wondered how long he was out for.

As he woke up he scanned his surroundings.

“Where am I?“

Elaine? He noticed Elaine by the side of the bed, sleeping on his hand, she must have been worried because I pushed myself too far.

But, to be honest, that was a pretty intense fight, and I didn't stand a chance, but as they say, failure can eventually be a lesson to address your weaknesses and allow you to strengthen them.

I would have loved to have kept that ability.

However, the tutor would notice if his ability was stolen and would be traced back to me because I used that skill.

Yona recounts his sparring experiences with Elaine.

When Elaine slowly opened her eyes.

“Yona!! I'm sorry, I think I went too far," she said as she hugged Yona

"It's all right, I think I had Mana Exhaustion."

It wasn't your fault."

"You just tapped me with ice to impede my movements, but it appears that I have a low mana pool and depleted my mana doing that move I've never really tested my aptitude yet so I didn't know the range of my mana pool"

"How long was I asleep, Elaine?"

“You were asleep for 3days, I was really worried.”

"It's fine, I'm really hungry, would you like to have breakfast with me?"

“Okay”

"Oh, young master, you've finally woken up"

“Oh, Aunt Rai, we're hungry. Could you please prepare some food for us?“

"Certainly, young master."

(after a day spent with Elaine)

Yona was resting on her bed.

"Now, let's go over the fight again."

If I had stolen Elaine's latent talent, I would have had a much better chance, but there's still so much missing. I think with my eye, I can definitely beat Mages, but it looks like my combat style would be more of a mage. I can keep up with swordsmanship, but I think I want to be more on the magical side of being a magic swordsman.

I'll have to put my aptitude to the test as well. My mana is dense and thick, but it's small, so I might only have an aptitude of 20-30.

I'll try to get it tested tomorrow.

For the time being, I'll simply rest.

After Baroness Claire arrived she went directly to Yona and hugged him "Yona are you alright." she wasn't home for Yona she was very worried since she heard that news that yona collapsed she couldn't go home directly since she had to attend a meeting for Yona's brothers.

They were already old enough to attend Demacia Imperial Academy, the most prestigious academy for nobles and commoners.

Everyone takes their chances to enroll in that academy, and if one graduates from that academy, it is already certain that you will be able to get any job that you desire because you graduated from this Academy where competition is encouraged.

I also need to prepare, Elaine and I plan to enroll next year because they encourage younger students to enroll and discover their potential early on.

"Can I take an aptitude test, Mom? I'd like to know which side has the most potential."

"But we'd have to leave the mansion. Are you okay with that on second thought, yeah you should come with me you've been holed up at this mansion and no one has seen my third son it would be a waste not to show my handsome son's face and pinched yona"

“Okay mom, let's go."

As they approached the Town Square, many stares and murmurs followed them.

"Is that Baroness Claire's rumoured son?

"Wow, he's stunning."

“With his long hair, he looks like a girl.“

"Will they take an aptitude test?"

As always Humans are always curious, even when one is just minding their own business.

When Yona and her mother Claire arrived, they were greeted by the head of the mage tower.

"Oh, Baroness Claire, you've arrived; this must be your son Yona,"

"Hello, sir Gray."

"Come on, Yona, let's get you tested."

as Yona scanned his surroundings, he noticed other mages carrying books and others creating inventions.

“let's just take this magical elevator.“

as the mage stated, all Yona saw was a blue space with a white symbol of a lion.

“Okay, just stand there and we'll be teleported in a second. this must be your first time using a magic elevator, but don't worry”, he said to yona.

they were standing there when they were suddenly teleported to the top of the tower, where a large orb was located in the middle of the room.

There were two to three other people testing who were nobility.

When Yona saw the people, he recognized some of them from the previous party years ago.

"Viscount Henry, it appears that your daughter is gifted with the sword. According to the aptitude test, she received 61% with the sword and 14% with magic."

As the mage told him that she lifted her daughter into the air, swinging her around like a barbarian “Way to go for my daughter BAHAHAHA!"

"Baroness Claire, you've arrived are u here to take an aptitude test with your son."

I've always wondered why this guy was a Viscount, perhaps it was his strength that put him at the top.

"This must be the little kid from the party years ago, you've grown, little man you need to work on your muscles more to unleash the beast within you"

he smiled as he said that showing his teeth.

"Well, I must depart, Baroness Claire, for I have business to attend to. The Viscount must have been in a hurry and simply wanted to spend time with his daughter, even if only for a brief moment."

“Yona come here!“

His mother called him.

To get closer to the large orb in the center of the room.

He was given instructions by the Head Mage.

Okay, just put your hand on that mini orb and close your eyes for 3 seconds.

In terms of how the orb works, Yona, the first color it displays is your aptitude for your sword, and the second color it displays is your aptitude for your magic.

Yona walked up to the ball and placed his hand on it as the mage said this.

[Aptitude Analysing]

When the mages on the side noticed the glow on the orb, they examined the color.

[Magic Color Aptitude Chart]

Red = Aptitude 10-20%

Blue = Aptitude 20-30

Purple = Aptitude 30-40%

Green = Aptitude 40-50%

Orange = Aptitude 50-60%

Yellow = Aptitude 60-70%

Gray = Aptitude 70-80%

Black = Aptitude 80-90%

White = Aptitude 90-100%

Yona's first aptitude color appeared as he touched it.

Purple As the mages noticed this, they looked at the side of the Orb, which had codes written on it to determine the specific number in the purple range.

"All right, your Sword Aptitude is 39%."

Yona's mother Claire was cheering him on.

“Okay, put your hand on again for your magical ability.“

[Aptitude Analysing]

*Bmmmm*

The color was revealed as the orb glowed.

Purple, as Yona noticed, it appears that my talent isn't all that great. This could be the reason for my low mana pool, as my magical aptitude may be limited. When the mages noticed this,

They did what they did on the first orb and looked at the side of the orb where there were digits written on it.

“Your accurate magic talent is 31% congrats u made it to the threshold of a genius having a combined talent of 70%, not bad little Yona congrats to your son Baroness Claire he is talented”

Yona was thinking about something as her mother expressed her gratitude to the mages at the tower.

"Damn, only 70%. I mean, it's more of like the peak of above average rather than genius, Even Elaine's aptitude slaughtered both my aptitudes combined, Oh well it's pointless to cry over spilled milk."

I'll just train harder next time. it's not like I don't have a trump card, but I don't want to rely on it too much. because I'll be nothing without it, as he thought, it looks like being more like a Mage killer is a better choice for me rather than going to the backlines to cast spells, but either way, he thought I can still steal crazy spells I may not be a genius in aptitude, but I can still do things I want in certain ways.

As they got out of the mage tower with his mother, he told her he wanted a skin mask.

Yona wasn't sure if there were things like those invented in this world. but he was a little assured, because he knew it was a little advanced in this world even though it had a medieval magic setting, Of course if one were to think about it was impossible that they didn't think about making skin mask to infiltrate places. there was always an innate talent that could make u smarter.

As Yona asked her mother, she wasn't surprised because she thought Yona was uncomfortable with his face.

"Mother, it's not that he smiled, I just don't want problems and people staring at me with this beautiful face you gave me, especially since Elaine and I are going to the academy next year.

“You know how kids make fun of stuff like this."

Yona was speaking maturely.

He didn't have a choice because he didn't want his beloved mother to be worried. and even though he had memories of his previous life, he was the type of person who would really care about someone if they had an emotional connection to him, but he knew he would never be one of those characters in fantasy books who had an overwhelming sense of justice,

Even though the person they were going to save wanted to kill him at one point, Yona knew that he'd never want to sacrifice himself for someone he didn't know or for the majority of people's lives.

He was selfish and self-aware, he desired to live his second life solely for himself and not for the satisfaction of others.

Claire, knowing why Yona wanted a face mask, supported his son's wishes and took him to the best skin mask shop in town.

“Here we are, Yona, as they arrived by carriage.“

Claire and her son were always the center of attention wherever they went.

“Is Mom already used to this?

I had no idea being so beautiful and handsome would be a curse; aren't we walking eye magnets?“

As they entered the store

Yona saw a variety of skin masks, including animal faces that could be worn to ambush people while lying down on grass.

When Yona and her mother entered the shop, the attendant greeted them and asked what they wanted.

As she said, "Good evening, Baroness Claire, what would you like to buy?" she looked at Yona and waved.

“I'd like to purchase a skin mask for my son that does not appear overly mature or childish.

Just the right mask to keep him out of trouble,”

“Come right here, Baroness Claire and young master Yona.“

As they followed suit, Yona noticed a room full of skin masks that appeared to be faces ranging in age from 9 to 15 years old.

“All of the faces from ages 9 to 15 Madam Claire are licensed and usable.“

Yona was taken aback. What did she mean by licensed?

“Were they dead people? Or are there still people alive who have only sold their faces?

And what if you met the real person behind the mask you were wearing?“

While the Attendant and his mother were talking about what skin mask would suit Yona's body. And what would still be usable with his growing body.

Yona raised his hand and posed a question.

“if I were to wear this skin mask

Is it possible that I will meet the people who once owned this faces?“

He asked an unusually advanced question for someone his age. the shopkeeper was perplexed as to how he could answer a small child's question and whether he would understand it if she explained it in detail, but she tried anyway.

“Um, young master, the faces in the shop are from people who sold their faces and were only made after they died with minor changes to avoid being identical to their faces and to honor their death.“

Yona was shocked to learn this information.

Nonetheless, he understood it and came to terms with it. If he died, he would have liked this if the person who bought it didn't do bad things using his face.

He was looking through different faces in the shop.

His mother called him to try a skin mask. The skin mask had a fairly handsome face with a noble aura to it. He wasn't the type to attract people, but if one looked closely, they'd notice he had a fairly handsome face.

The attendant gave him three different faces and even gave him the option of wearing a girl's face because his body wasn't very masculine and had more of a model outline on it. He thought it wasn't very good to have a female face because he was afraid of being courted and chose the first mask that the attendant gave him.

Yona didn't understand the currency in this world, but the skin mask was worth 15,000 Neptonian. The attendant gave him the mask and instructions, explaining that it could get wet and be removed whenever the user desired, much like a spell. It could also be removed forcibly by being touched in the face and ripping it off directly without the user knowing.

As they arrived Yona thanked his mother and went straight to his room to test the theory magic used in the mask. he was interested in it, even when Yona still lived on earth he was the intellectual type that had the most curiosity in things the only thing that stopped him was that he was the Low effort person type.

He never had problems and didn't want problems, he was just going through life at his own pace until those incidents occurred.

The thought of betrayal made him shudder. But quickly forgot about it to avoid stress, as he observed the mask, there were properties of water, he didn't know about the other properties but it was complex and had combined elements he didn't know about.

All he had at the moment was that one book he had finished called

[The Basics of Magic]

He wasn't sure about magic combinations because all of the information in the book was about mana theory and element information.

He only had one year left before enrolling, so he had to make the most of it, possibly even attempting to be top one in Exam Scores; this was a possible achievement for Yona for the time being.

He didn't mind being in the spotlight because he already had a skin mask; all that mattered to him was having fun.
