Chapter 353 You Won’t Understand Since You’re A Tomboy
Nicole lazily looked at the road that led to Limeburgh Town from the top of one of the Academy’s viewing towers.
She arrived at the academy a day ago after spending some time with her family.
During their gathering, the Heir Wars were mentioned once again, and her Grandfather stated that the official start of their competition would begin this year.
The Main and Branch Families of the Asta Clan would all be participating in this event, which would then give birth to the future leader of their family, who would hold the same power as their Patriarch.
The rules of the competition were simple. This content has its origins in n0v£lbin★
Anyone below the age of twenty-five years old could participate, with the exception of those below ten years old. They were grooming the younger generation of the Asta Lineage, forcing them to excel in any way that they could.
They would then compete through a Merit System, where they would earn points depending on the contribution that they made to the family, as well as achieve accomplishments that they could convert into Merit Points.
These accomplishments included conquering Dungeons, setting new records, and anything else that would make the Asta Family’s name resound far and wide in the Human Kingdom, as well as the other Kingdoms in the Shire Continent.
Truth be told, Nicole didn’t want to participate in the Heir Wars. But, since she was born into the Asta Family, she was duty-bound to play her part, regardless of whether she liked it or not.
Nicole didn’t dislike her family.
In fact, she was even thankful for being born into it.
The only thing that she didn’t like was that she was born in the era when the first Heir Wars was held, which led her parents to have great expectations of her.
“Expectations, huh?” Nicole sighed as she shook her head helplessly.
There was no one on the viewing platform aside from Nicole and Lily, so the pink-haired beauty didn’t hold back and said what was on her mind.
“... Has he arrived?” Lily asked after hearing the young man’s name.
“Look at you. The moment I mention his name, the first thing you ask is if he has already arrived,” Nicole said in a teasing tone. “Is this what love is like?”
“You wouldn’t understand since you’re a tomboy,” Lily replied.
“Well, I do admit that I am attracted to both handsome guys and beautiful girls,” Nicole smirked. “It’s a shame that the ones I have my eyes on either have girlfriends or have become Ethan’s girlfriends, you included.”
“Very funny.”
“Hey! This is the part where you should be laughing.”
Lily shook her head helplessly. Although she could pinpoint Ethan’s exact whereabouts, she could only do it when she was in a meditative state.
Right now, she wasn’t using this ability, so she had no idea whether Ethan had already arrived or not.
Nicole once again resumed looking through her telescope, just in time to see three black specks on the horizon flying toward Brynhildr Academy.
Without even saying a word, Nicole summoned her flying broom and flew towards the three people, whom he had been waiting for to arrive.
Lily was surprised by Nicole’s sudden action, so she looked in the direction where her friend was headed.
Suddenly, a familiar connection tugged at her heart, making her understand why Nicole suddenly rushed out like that.
“He’s here,” Lily thought with a smile before following behind Nicole to meet with her beloved, whom she hadn’t seen for the past few weeks.
She needed to tell him that her mother and older brothers would soon come knocking on the doors of the academy in order to see the young man who didn’t accompany Lily to her homeland during the Winter Break.
