Morning had dawned. The sound of birds coming from outside the window was quite noisy. Those who wanted to sleep in frowned and burrowed deeper into their blankets.
But Lumian did not need to. It was because he had not slept.
He had been up all night, reminiscing about the events of yesterday, feeling both joyful and regretful.
‘Yesterday was really great. Was it my first skinship after being reincarnated?’

‘It was even better because she was pretty. Thinking about it now, she seems to have some aspects that are better than the ladies of my past life.’
‘I wish I had been a little more composed. When she realized I was a noble and backed away, I should have said I'd give her a chance to make up for her rudeness and asked her to have a meal with me······.’

‘Why was I so nervous? I wasn’t like that before.’
All the worldly troubles were in Lumian's head.
He let out a sigh, ‘huu,’ and got out of bed.
He was definitely different from before.

In the days when he had no expectations or motivation, he could maintain his composure no matter what women said or did in front of him, but now, his heart trembled at the slightest touch of a fingertip, just like a pubescent boy who had just awakened to sexuality.
In fact, he was no different from a pubescent boy. For Lumian, who had become active for the first time at the age of sixty, yesterday's stimulation was too strong. Currently, he had too little tolerance for women.
‘It's okay. Let's not be hasty.’
Lumian roughly washed his face with the water in the room. Then he took off his shabby old clothes and changed into his knight cadet uniform.

After packing his belongings, he checked one last time to see if he was leaving anything behind, and then he opened the door.
He went down to the first floor and glanced into the hall, but the waitress was nowhere to be seen. Shaking off even the slight feeling of disappointment, he left the inn without hesitation.

The warm morning sunlight shone down on Lumian’s face.
It felt as if it were blessing his future.
‘There is plenty of time and plenty of opportunities. As I gradually gain experience, I’ll be able to do well.’
No one is good from the start.
He reminded himself of the thought he had yesterday and walked the streets with a confident stride.
His destination was the Tarajan Royal Academy.

‘The semester starts tomorrow, so I should probably go the day before.’
The Tarajan Academy was a boarding school, and the dormitories could be used even during vacation.
That was why he did not need to stay at an inn yesterday, but he was heading to the dorms now because he remembered that there was construction until just before the semester started.
“Hmhmm, hmm~!”
Lumian hummed a tune.
Since the memories of the body's original owner remained, adapting to the new environment was not a problem at all. In the first place, there was not much he had to do. After buying the new semester’s textbooks from the bookstore inside the academy, all he had to do was go to his dorm and unpack his things. After that, it was free time.

So then, what should he do during that time?
‘Checking out the ladies, of course.’

Lumian smiled contentedly.
During his days as a eunuch knight, the most ideal romance he pursued was the love that blossomed between a knight and a noble lady in the capital.
It was not just because he was a knight. This was the most typical romance story that everyone on the continent could commonly think of.
But the youthful romance between young men and women that took place at an academy was a story that was just as interesting. It was not for nothing that there were so many romance novels with this as their theme.
Ěǹ ú m̃ а .і̃ ḋ
Lumian also quite liked such stories.
One might ask why a sixty-year-old knight had such tastes, but what was the problem? The current him was a fresh fifteen-year-old knight cadet.
“Hehe.”
His atmosphere changed slightly.

His sleepy-looking eyes became half-lidded, and his clear smile turned lecherous. As he got closer to the academy, his laughter became audible to those around him. Passersby frowned and distanced themselves from him.
Whether they did or not, Lumian did not care.
Ēnúmа̄ . і́ d̄
And so, he finally arrived at the academy's entrance.
After showing his identification to prove he was a knight cadet, he stated his ambition in a low voice.
“Graduating from the academy without ever having been in a relationship would be unacceptable.”
Yes, absolutely. Lumian, who even nodded at his own words, moved busily towards the bookstore. He planned to quickly take care of the trivial things and then go to the garden inside the academy.
It was to check out the women as he had originally planned. Not only knight cadets but also students from other departments frequented the place, making it the best spot to broaden his knowledge of women and increase his tolerance.
‘Since the academy is mostly filled with the children of nobles, the girls must be pretty too.’

Unfortunately, the original owner's memory on this part was hazy. But that was fine. In fact, it was even better in terms of raising his expectations.
Lumian imagined the beautiful women who would be strolling in the garden and moved his body even faster.
Just then, a person who made him stop in his tracks came into view.
A boy of a similar age to Lumian. A fellow with impressive freckles on his face, who gave off a slightly mean impression.
He had been walking from the opposite direction and, upon spotting Lumian late, showed a startled expression and likewise stopped walking.
A sudden staring contest unfolded.

“······.”
“······.”

After about ten seconds of silence, the two passed each other without a word.
But their subsequent actions were different. Lumian went on his way without looking back, while the freckled boy stared at Lumian's back for a long time.
A monologue escaped his lips.
“That bastard, he really seems to have changed······.”
W е b ǹ оv̌ е̂l Е̃ṅ ûḿа
The freckled boy, who had been watching Lumian for a little longer, turned around with a puzzled expression.
It seemed he would have to tell his friends.

“Tsk.”

Lumian, who had entered his room, threw his bag on the bed.
Both Lumian Calard and Ryan Promhart had rather neat personalities. Therefore, he would have normally organized his luggage first, but the situation was different now.
Ẃ е b nо v̄ еl E nu m̈ а̌
Lumian raised his hand to his chest.
He could feel the pounding of his heart strongly.
‘Fear is ingrained in this body.’
The freckled boy he met on the way to the bookstore was someone he knew. To be more precise, he was a classmate who had persistently bullied him.
One of the main culprits who had made the already timid Lumian's personality even darker.
The moment he saw him, a cold sweat broke out on his body. He was angry, and an even greater fear surged, making his body tremble.

“This is a bit of a problem. Hmm.”
Lumian, who muttered to himself, sat down in a chair and fell into thought.
Until he met the freckled boy, he had not thought about the guys who had bullied the original owner at all.
It was a given. What reason was there to think about swarthy men when he was busy thinking about women? And even if he had, he probably would not have been too worried. Scolding kids was not a problem at all.
But it seemed it was not something to be taken so lightly.
The pain and pressure the original owner had felt were much more severe than he had thought. The memories of the past that belatedly surfaced to the water's surface made Lumian Calard even more distressed.

“Hmph.”
Ryan Promhart’s soul blew it all away with a single snort.

His mind was not weak enough to succumb to something like this. He scratched the back of his head with his hand and thought.
‘Even if I’m fine now, my body might stiffen up again if I meet them.’
It was the same just a moment ago. He had tensed his neck to avoid showing weakness, and as a result, his body had been unnatural.
His expression had also hardened. He did not want to show such a disgraceful sight again.

‘If I show a frightened look, the girls might look down on me.’
He was already being treated like a halfwit; he could not afford to make any more bad impressions.
Lumian jumped up from his seat. Then he sat on the floor. Quietly closing his eyes, he quickly used Jenas’s Aura Cultivation Method.
Inhale.

Exhale.
He drew in Mana through his breath. The drawn-in Mana was transformed into Aura of a solid nature by Jenas’s unique, stable method.
Ẇêb̄ ñ о̄v̄ е l̄ Е́ n̈u m a
It felt as if a heavy rock had settled inside him. For this reason, the knights of Jenas also called it the ‘Rock Cultivation Method’.
‘It’s very stable because of the weight.’
It felt like pushing a boulder forward.
The speed at which it flowed through the Aura passages in the body was slow, but because a large amount of energy was moved at once, the speed of accumulating Aura was by no means slow.
However, Lumian was not satisfied with this.
He focused his mind. Then, the energy of the rock, which had a flat bottom, gradually became rounder and rounder.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE-
The energy, which had been processed into a perfect spherical shape, raced through the Aura passages.
It felt like rolling down a downhill path and gaining acceleration. The momentum was extremely fierce. One misstep, and it seemed like it would deviate from the set path and shatter the surrounding landscape.
It was madness. A normal person, no, even a knight confident in his Aura control, would not do such a crazy thing. The energy, which gained speed as it went, was like a disaster that could blow up one’s body with even a minor control mistake. The moment something went wrong, it was a minimum of being crippled, a maximum of death.
But conversely, it also meant that as long as nothing went wrong, there was no problem.
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE-!
Е́ nū m̌ӑ. і̃ d̄
One circuit, two circuits, three circuits, ten circuits.
Lumian continued to circulate the energy and accumulate Aura.

The rock grew like a snowball from the energy absorbed through his breath. He was not afraid. On the contrary, he rolled the energy even more boldly, as if the speed was just now picking up.
Twenty circuits, thirty circuits, fifty circuits.
And a hundred circuits.
Only then did Lumian, who had stopped his Aura cultivation, slowly open his eyes.

“Hmm, it’s already dawn. Have I been doing this for over half a day?”
The atmosphere he exuded was on a different level than before.
He, who had become a completely different person in one day, patted his bottom and stood up. He put a piece of bread he had thrown on the bed into his mouth and thought.
‘This should be enough to avoid being humiliated in front of the girls.’

If they dare to attack, I'll put them down gently like an adult.
Lumian nodded and thought.

While Lumian was immersed in Aura cultivation to shake off his fear.
The freckled boy was telling three other boys what he had seen and heard.
“Hmm.”
“It’s true. It was definitely Lumian. From what I heard, they say he took down a muscular mercenary who must have been about 1 meter 90 centimeters tall with his bare hands.”
“Hmm.”

“His atmosphere has completely changed too. He made eye contact with me this morning, and he just stared at me without flinching. Last year, he couldn’t even lift his head when I came near him······.”
“Hey.”
“Yeah?”
THWACK.
“Ouch!”
The boy who had been listening slapped the freckled boy on the head with his palm.
Е̌ ńùmӑ . i d
He said with a pathetic expression.
“Where did you hear such a baseless rumor and come spouting such nonsense?”
