I have never been outside of the castle before as i am not allowed to. My siblings have already gone out and explored the city while i was still stuck in my room. Finally when i turned 5, i was taken to a nearby church to take the test of summoning the status window. "Hurry up and come quickly. Make sure no one sees you." my mother said as she walked discreetly to the nearby church.
As i entered the church, there was no one there except for me, my mother and a priest. Why my mother led me to the church is because one of the parent has to be there. "Now put your hands on this crystal ball and you should see your status window appearing." the priest explained to me while taking out a transparent ball with fog like substance inside it. After i placed my hands on the ball, the priest chanted "Heavenly father, please allow this unworthy one to access the status window." That was some weird ass chant that priest pulled out of his ass. While all this was happening, my mother just stood at the back of the church, not paying attention to me.
"It is done my child" the priest gently smiled while talking to me. "Well thanks so how do i see my status now?" i asked him. "Just say the word status loud and clear in your head and it should appear in front of you. Take note that no one else can see it unless you give permission." Status!

Before i had the chance to look more closely at my stats, i was pulled away by my mother back to the castle. I was also wearing a hood all this time. "When you turn to the age of 8, you shall start attending school.'" my mother suddenly said in a monotone. "What?! What about my appearance?" "You shall attend the school under a different name from the royal bloodline." Does that mean i have to pretend not to know my own family? Well if so then FUCK YES! Fuck the royal family. I would have more freedom.
After reaching back, mother did not bothered to check my status screen and just left me in my room. Well better for me since i dont need to deal with that hag any longer. I checked my status window with more details after she left. What the...... why is my mana zero! Does that mean i cant use magic? Cant believe this shit. I thought reincarnated people were suppose to be like overpowering but noooo my stats is horrible. What about my skills then.
Skill Name:Skill Rank:Skill Level:Skill Experience:Otherworldly KnowledgeI10.0%Allows user to gain all knowledge from previous life. As skill rank increase, so does the amoun of knowledge he gets.
Skill Name:Skill Rank:Skill Level:Skill Experience:External Mana ManipulationI10.0%Allows you to use mana that is around you. As the skill rank increases, so does the amount you can manpulate.
Skill Name:Skill Rank:Skill Level:Skill Experience:Blessing of the CreatorNoneNoneNoneDoes nothing
Hmmmm..... external mana manipulation is pretty sweet in my opinion. So basically i can still use magic. Whew, scared me there for a while. Otherworldly knowledge seems decent but i dont think it will be much use for now. Blessing of the Creator is absolutely useless. It does nothing. It is like there to piss me off.
I tried out my otherworldly knowledge and if i wanted to make a pistol, i would know how to do it but i can't remember how to build things like nuclear reactor unless my skill rank goes higher. I can't even build a pistol since i don't have the material needed to build one.
When my 7th birthday came, unexpectedly, they celebrated it for the first time. I sat down on the dinning table with my family and saw my father. He looked almost the same the last time i saw him. "Uhhh hello father....... long time no see eh hahaha" i awkwardly said. " "Watch your mouth!" my mother said cutting me off. "Well sorry for my mouth then.....by the way where is brother? i have not even seen him before. "He does not have the time to attend pointless birthday dinners" my father replied back instead of my mother.
Sooooooo if my birthday is pointless....... why are we even celebrating it in the first place dumbass is what i wanted to say but i kept my mouth shut. Gotta keep it in until i turn 8. "This will be your first high class dinner you will be having Aoi.....it is meat with potato stew." That's it? Meat with potato stew.... wow that is considered high class food. "This is not ordinary meat" my father continued. "This is human meat Aoi and keep that in mind. Now we all know that human meat is rare as livestock tends to kill themselves." What the fuck. They actually eat humans? i thought that book was joking or something. "I will have to decline this meal father as i do not feel fine. I shall head to my room first." i said while getting off my chair and giving a small bow.
"Sit down" father shouted out before i could leave the room. "Just let her leave dear" "No she is still our daughter and we should give her one proper birthday before she leave for the academy." Wow, father must be a tsundere.... "Sorry father but i am not eating human meat as i find that disgusting." "How rude!" mother exclaimed. "That's fine by me though since i get my servings" Yui spoke out.
As the food was served before i left, i stared at the stew, wondering what it looked like. It looked like a normal stew though i knew the meat that floated around would probably be human meat. Even though the smell was incredible and made me drool, my mind was in disarray since i used to be human. "Well if you really do not want to eat then you can go back.." father said dejectedly. Sorry but i can't stomach eating humans now. Maybe in the future though.
It's the day before i turn 8 and i started packing up my belongings to leave the castle and enter the Academy of magic. My horns came out from the side of the upper head and curved in infront of me. My long black hair reached down to my waist and my kitsune tail turned black. Surprisingly, during my final year living in this castle, i was not really bothered by anyone else. It seemed that my family has accepted my appearance partially i guess.
Stolen novel; please report.
I am wearing a plain white shirt and shorts while wearing a dark robe over it. Reason i am wearing shorts is because i can't bear to wear a skirt or a dress. It's too embarrassing to wear one since i used to be a boy. Speaking of which, i trained my body with push ups and jogging on the spot in my room since i had nothing to do.
"Seems like today is your big day Aoi." i heard a voice behind me. "Seems like it dad." i replied back. He stood at the doorway with his hand holding a pouch. "Well i thought you might need some money so take it" he said while tossing me the pouch. Woah his giving me money! What a nice guy. "Ehhh thanks i guess?" "Sorry that you have to register under a different name. Your mom make me do it." What! My mother was the bitch all along? Fuck that old hag. "No problem and thanks for the money!" i cheerfully said while walking past him. "Wait..... if you have any problems, tell me okay?" he said with a gentle tone. "Okay bye dad!"
-------Yui P.O.V-----------
When i was 5 years old, my mother told me that i had to stay away from a monster that lived in a castle with us. I wondered why didn't my mother or father chase it away so i went to the tower she asked me to stay away. I went inside, sneaking from shadow to shadow. As i turned into a corner, i was knocked down from banging something.
"Ouch...Watch it kid" i heard from in front of me as i was getting back up. For a moment, i thought i had run into the monster but it was just another person.
As i looked at the person in front of me, she swiftly walked past me before i had the chance to look at her face. "W..wa...wait please" i called out but she had already disappeared. I decided to head back before i got scolded by mother. I share my room with my sister Rika. After i got back, i told her about my adventure to find the monster. "Monster? What monster? There is a freak living there! Not a monster." Rika said to me smugly.W...why do you look so smug when you talk about it?" i asked her as she looked as if she owned the world when talking about it. "Cause i can order her around! That's why."
2 years later.........
I found out that the freak Rika was talking about was actually my older sister. I don't know why she calls her a freak. She looks beautiful to me with horns and fox tail. She also had different eye colour and i thought that was cool. Maybe Rika was jealous? I didn't really talked with my older sister much but i heard that she was leaving the castle today. I rushed out to at least bid her goodbye but it was too late. She had already left on the carriage. I vowed to myself and said, next year when i go to the same school as her, i will start treating her like my sister.
------Aoi P.O.V------------
I am currently sitting in a carriage with 2 horse pulling it. "It will take 2 days ma am" the couch sitting outside said. 2 days stuck in this small ass carriage. Soooo boring...... nothing to do. I will damn sure make a Bugatti veyron when i can. Sigh.... still sitting in this carriage while it shakes and shakes.
I know a few magic spells though. I learned it from a spell book that i found in my father's room. There are tier I to X with different elements. Because i found the spell book in my father's room, there were only tier V and VI fire spells. As the tier increases, the mana consumption increases dramatically but since i use external mana, which people normally can't do, i basically have unlimited mana as long as there is mana near my vicinity. Spells!
Spell Name:Spell Tier:Spell Level:Spell Element:Blazing TempestVI4FireSummons a flaming tornado at the intended location
Spell Name:Spell Tier:Spell Level:Spell Element:Frost FlameV2Fire/IceSummons a freezing flame of ball. Target hit will get burns and frost bites
Gah, i only know 2 spells. Even though they are mid tiered spells, i still feel pathetic. "Orcs!" shouted the couch from the front. Finally a battle.... been itching for one. "Urghhhh" a groan was heard with grunts and snorts overcoming it. "That couch was pathetic....... my turn now eh."
I jumped out of my carriage and jumped onto the roof. Damn that's a lot of orcs and goblins i guess? No matter.... i shall use my blazing tempest to get rid of all of them at one go and it is my only AOE spell after all. Hmmmm first i collect mana from the surroundings into my hands. Then i imagine a fire vortex and let it go at where i want it to be is how i cast blazing tempest though all this only take a couple of seconds.
The orcs all looked up at me and started snarling with saliva spitting out everywhere. Orcs looked like a huge grey humanoid beast with lumpy bumps all over it's skin. Goblins look like well.... green skinned things i guess that also has humanoid figure. Blazing Tempest!
A huge fire storm surrounded me and burned away at everything that i willed it to be burned inside the vortex. SREEEHHH cried out the orcs and goblins as their skin started melting off and their bones turning to ashed. GAHAHAHA THAT'S WHAT YOU GET UGLY SHITS! After the fire vortex dispersed, there was nothing around me except the horses which was frantic and the carriage and ashes floating around.
"Well that was easy." "That was too flashy..... i got to make a weapon that can easily kill any monsters soon. Better start going to the academy or i might arrive a day later. This horn of mine is seriously wicked looking though. Hope it grows longer so i can fire Cero like the hollows in one of the manga i read before.
2 days later............
Finally i arrived at the academy. That does not look like a school at all. It looks like a fucking fortress with a huge ass gates. As i walked closer to the gate, the 2 status at the side came to life. The statue at the left looks like a phoenix while the one on the right looks like a Chimera. "Halt. What is your business for being here" "To attend the academy obviously." i replied annoyed with my arms folded across my chest.
"Show me your I.D card then" the phoenix spoke this time. "And while taking it out, take off that hood." Shit i left my card at home i realized. Fuck my life. "Let her in" a wispy old man voice came from behind the gates. "But headmaster, she has no I.D card. "I know here father so let her in." "Fine." The gate opened without a sound and a old looking man with a pointy hat was standing there.
"Welcome princess Aoi to the academy of magic. All races are allowed to attend as long as they can contribute somehow either with magic or innovations." the old man said with a grin. "Well thank you headmaster..... well i shall be going then." "You are in dorm C princess and remember to use a different name." he said before disappearing into thin air.
Fuck, i been walking around for nearly a hour already. Where the fuck is this dorm c. "Are you lost?" a sweet voice came from behind me. I turned around and saw a girl with pale skin and grey hair that reaches the shoulder. She also has piercing red eyes that seemed to stare into your very soul. "Y...yeah i am looking for dorm c." "Well you are in luck because i also stay in dorm c" she replied excitedly. "Follow me!" and if that she grabbed my hand and pulled me along.
We walked towards a forest but i could not spot any buildings in my view. "Are you sure this is the right way?" "Of course!" she said while pouting. "It's here!" She went over to a tree and damn son a small ass magic circle was inscribed on the tree. "Place your hand on this magic circle and you will get teleported to the dorm!" She pulled my hand and placed it at the magic circle. I felt my sense of balance tilting and had a rush of adrenaline coursing through my veins. After a while, i felt solid ground. "Urghhh" i groaned as i got up from the floor. My hood was still on luckily. I didn't want anyone to make a fuss on the first day i arrive at the academy.
"By the way, my name is Aria Bloodheart. What's yours?" the pale girl asked. "Uhhh my name is ehh Zaomi Kazuya." i replied hastily while modifying my real name slightly. "Wahhh what a unique name hehe" Aria giggled. "Well your room number is 34. Hope we get along neighbour." she said before skipping away. And thus started my short school life.
P.S If you have trouble imagining what the horn looks like, it is basically like the horn of Albedo from Overlord.
