Winter has passed and it's time for my sister to return to the Liberi Laguna Academia. She taught me lots about this world's magic and some entry level swordplay taught to them in her school. Father and mother were overjoyed when seeing us get along together too.
The whole duration of snowfall and cold winds didn't really feel cold at all… Unlike the life I used to live.
[Ammon, write more often to me from now on if there's new things you discovered alright? Or I'll ask you if there's something I don't understand from my lectures okay?]
[Ari, isn't it supposed to be you who's teaching Ammon and him asking you about his uncertainties in his studies?]
[You ask him things from the books you own too father, I see nothing wrong in relying on my cute brother. Isn't he supposed to be the man of the family after you?]
Father and Ariessa is still bantering like that in front of the carriage just before her departure, but the atmosphere surrounding us is still as warm as ever.
[Send me copies of your lessons too big sister. I will write lots to you too.] I beamed at her fully using my cute little brother card. And it's super effective.
She stopped her arguing with father and rushed to me who was beside mother holding her hand.
She then bent over and talked to me face to face.
[Ammon, don't fight the other kids at your school okay?]
[Mhm.]
[But hit them hard with a wooden sword if they look down upon you okay? Swift and accurate like we practiced okay?]
[Mhm.] Damn her reminders are as brute as ever.
[Also don't pick up girlfriends from other noble houses alright?]
[Mhm.] I will honestly flirt around since I don't want to grow old loved only by mother and you.
[When you are of age to come to my school too, propose marriage with me alright?]
[Mhm. I promise.]
Well she'll probably forget this silly sibling promise after 5 years so I guess I'm safe. Might as well humor her since she'd been so helpful to my training.
[Ara, dear it seems like Aliessa's wish to be married to a Ventura will be fulfilled by her daughter.]
[Indeed. Ammon, be a proper man so you can marry your sister alright? It's fine since you two aren't blood related at all, Ari won't even need to change her name.]
I never had my dad and mom in earth raise me but I'm sure parents aren't supposed to be this easygoing. I hope I won't be heavily influenced by them, I still have some years to go before I can go after big sis Ari to the magical school.
But I never thought it would be bad living with these kind of people, it's kinda warm and I like it I guess.
[Adolph dear, we shouldn't hold our little Ari back now. At this rate she might just not go to school anymore and start her bridal training.]
Whoa hold up, brides have to be trained here? Even if I'm not on Earth anymore, this really feels just like I'm in medieval Europe.
[Ari, be careful out there okay? It just gets harder each year in that damned school. Remember to write to us often okay?]
[Yes dad, now stop clinging to me. I don't want to be unwed because of you.]
And with that, my sister Ariessa climbed up the carriage and waved at us goodbye while smiling broadly to show that she's happy. It would've worked well if I didn't notice her eyes were so moist and tears were in danger of falling from her cheeks.
[It's our little treasure's turn next right my love?]
Father and mother then turned their attention to me once the carriage was out of our sights.
So it's already time huh.
I prepared for this day with Ari the whole winter. Two days from now I will be entering the preparatory school for promising children. Well basically a prep school for children of nobles, aristocrats, and there are minority of commoners who were seen with outstanding potential by the staff of the school.
[Yes my dear, I will be going with Ammon on his first day to school alright?]
Eek-
Why did the temperature go down again?
I looked towards my mother's face and saw the beautiful cold smile plastered on it again.
Women are too scary.
[Leta don't be like that, I will be the one to come accompany Ammon to his first day at school right?]
[But I want to be the one with Ammon on his first day at school Adolph.]
C'mon where did the lovey dovey married couple go? Why are you competing with who goes with me. Is it such a big deal?
[Mother, father, why don't you both go with me on my first day at school?]
The two stopped their little quarrel over me and once again faced me.
[But Ammon, won't it be better if you're with your loving mother during your first day at school?]
[No Ammon, isn't it safer if you're with your super strong father at your first day at school?]
What's with the first day at school that my parents are going crazy over it?
[I would be happier if I come with both of you tho. Do you not like it?] For the love of God, I would really be happy if you stop being such kids because of me.
The two of them looked at me then looked at each other's eyes, utilizing the communication only available to loving married couples using eye contact.
After a few moments they seemed to have reached an understanding and sighed.
[Alright Ammon, your loving mother will go with us during your first day at school and assist with your battle.]
Battle? What battle? Holy shit is that for real? I get to fight as soon as I go to school?
My eyes shone when father said those words and mother saw that. She chuckled lightly and bent over to give me a peck on the cheeks.
[Ah, why is my little treasure so smart and adorable. Only because of you will I let your foolish father come with us during your first day at school.]
When father heard that, he retorted once more turning the fight for who goes with me to school into the fight of who was really the one just tagging along.
But without this kind of silly banters, they wouldn't be my loving parents right?
Didn't I dream of something like this when I was a child back in Earth? A loving and fun father, and a warm and kind mother?
Even if I haven't done much yet on this world, I'm really thankful for having them raise me.
[[[Don't. Be. Fooled. By. Such. Small. Things.]]]
Ah fuck it not again.
I ignored the voice once more and didn't let my troubles show on my face.
I just wondered how the battle will be during my first day at school.

A week has passed after Ari's return to the academy. And today I'm wearing a white school uniform that clearly screams 'noble' when you look at it. I was reluctant to wear it when I first saw it but after trying it on, I'd dare say it's pretty cool.
Seems like my chuuni side may have it's resurrection on this world.
Nope, not happening. I might make stupidly cringy chants if ever that happens.
But still I must be vigilant. Father gave me a reminder last night but I have to make sure by myself that other than my four basic elements, no one must know about my possession of time and space elements. Not like I can use them as easily as the four elements, but I have been properly able to slow down time around me to a certain extent because of Nmemosyne's mark.
If word goes around that I have the two of the rarest elements while still haven't gone through proper awakening, I'd might be forcibly taken to the capital and be trained or experimented extensively.
Welp, not as if I'd show more than two elements at school. I might be the Ava**r if ever I used the four elements at once. A fire lord might appear suddenly and wage war against this kingdom.
[Young master, are you worried about today?]
[No uncle Bland, I'm pretty excited about what I'll learn at my new school.]
[Father, there's no point asking him things like that. He should have been named Bland instead of you. He never plays too much and is always holding a book or practicing with a wooden sword.]
[Hahahaha, well you should try to be a bit more like young master Ammon Oli my dear. Playing is alright but it isn't alright to just play and never study you know? Your mother was like that when we were children too come to think of it.]
[No! I want to have lots of friends! I don't want to just have books and swords as friends like Ammon!]
Urk-
That hit a critical spot kid. You better watch out when Bland is out of sight. Get prepared for Divine Punishment Oli.
I scowled at her but she just put out her tounge and scurried off to the carriage they will be using.
But still this is pretty unsettling… How do kids make friends again?
I didn't really experience a great childhood back in Earth, it was all books and educational tv shows for me…
Gulp.
[Ammon hurry up! It's almost time we head off!]
Mother called me from the inside of our carriage, and father was there too seemingly mumbling about something and looking shady as heck while at it.
I just sighed in resignation. I hope they won't overdo whatever battle is happening later. Even if my mother acts all docile and my dad acts stupid all the time, ever since I grasped how to read mana in the air I mentally noted to myself not anger them purposely.
They're not just pretty strong. They're hella strong.
Celestial beings that watches over me, please protect me and guide my family not to do any harm to others later…
