The first one is as expected.

And the last one is a little surprising.

Warning! This is a universal notification!

May their achievement ring out throughout the known universe!

Which brings my total number of etched skill slots to ten. Which is more than I really need if Im being honest.Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

You do know that most people would strangle you for that casual dismissal of etched skill slots, right? Tar points out, but I ignore the tanuki that just ate his own tail. And regrew it in moments.

He opens his mouth to say something, only to close it again. Then open it. Then close it. Then open it.

Finally he decides to give up on whatever he was gonna say and instead says, Hello, Your Highness.

I blink in surprise before lowering my hand and tilting my head as I ask, Did you hit your head or something?

Because thats definitely not something the general I know would say. He would be getting into an argument with me right now.

Also, I think I just saw a vein pulse on his forehead. Or maybe Im just imagining that?

Does that actually happen outside of tv shows? Where a vein on someones forehead pulses out of anger? Or is it just fiction?

Might also be that my senses are strong enough now to really pick up on things like that if it does happen.

I think Tar begins, but I just shrug, deciding its not important, making him trail off instead of finishing whatever he was gonna say.

Anyways, my thought tangents aside, the general takes a deep breath and then says, Congratulations on making it to Class V, Scarlet.

Ah, hes calling me my name again.

Scarlet, is it just me, or are you acting a bit more carefree now? More like how you acted when we first me, Tar comments, making me frown for a second before shrugging. Almost like the curse doesnt have as strong a hold on you now that your Class V.

Its possible. But Im me no matter what, so I dont care all that much.

As long as I dont end up losing myself to my Sin or something like that again. Because that would suck.

Putting that aside for the moment though, I do wonder just how strong I am now.

I really want to go test it out.

Miss Archeron, the general says, making me briefly wonder if hes just trying out different things to call me at this point, please dont destroy our training facility. If you wouldnt mind, go find your mother and ask to use hers or something.

I find my jaw dropping open at that.

Tar just laughs.

Rude.
