I am lucky. To think that I was this blessed.
Ah, My name is Grisis. Grisis=Diebold=Ractos=Nizzet=Ractos.(TL: My name as long as this)
Its long name right? Well, since my big sister and little sister, my family and everyone who were close to me used to called me Grisis, you can call me like that, too.
I suppose people sometimes called me as "Mad Sorcerer", too.
Amazing right? Mad Sorcerer they say. I"m happy though, but it felt kinda embarra.s.sing.
Then, ah right. It"s about how lucky I was.
That"s right, I was blessed, so blessed. To the extent I felt sorry about it.
First, the age when I born.
I was born on the day where there was no war.
It seems that when my great-grandfather, Diebold=Ractos, was young, it was still in the middle of a great war.
But now, while there were still some little trouble, but it was relatively peaceful.
Next, family.
I was born in the Braniska Continent, Azolias Kingdom"s Duke house, Ractos Duke household.
It was well known that Azolias was a kingdom that famous for its military power. And I born into their duke household, you know? Furthermore, my grandfather was someone that so important to the country, he was the governor of the kingdom.
In short, unless there were some kind of misfortune coming one after another that was defying logic, it was the most stable place to live.
On the top all of that, the talent that I had.
It"s kinda shameful for me to say it by myself, but since it was the truth I"ll said it anyway, in a magic sense, it could be said that I born with the greatest talent out of all people.
Including the sorcery trait of shadow, that now was widely recognized as something that was born from my family lineage, I was granted four useful sorcery trait in my possession, furthermore, my sorcery apt.i.tude also high.
Thanks to my grandfather I also had deep relations.h.i.+p with sorcerer in authority, in the first place, my mother came from sorcerer lineage.
Its kinda rude to put it into word like this but, I was blessed in environment I could become rich just with my talent and my connection alone.
I suppose it"s fine to said that I had bright future in front of me.
Lastly, it was the fact that I didn"t need to succeed the house.
What I said about succeeding the house was the Ractos Household.
After all, being able to succeed the Nizzet household equal to be able to do any experiment I love.
Thought the first three were also the reason I thought I was lucky person, but the last reason was the biggest of all.
Due to some reason, it"s already decided that Sera would became the next head of the house.
Normally, something like that was impossible to happen.
It wasn"t like there wasn"t any predecessor of a d.u.c.h.ess before, but in Sera case, she already received all of the education needed to become the head of the house by the age of thirteen.
That was the thing that was never happened before.
If I was a normal eldest son of a normal n.o.ble house, or if Ractos house just a normal n.o.ble house, surely things wouldn"t go like this, and I would be dissatisfied by being unable to succeed the house.
But, the reality was different. The moment it was decided that my little sister would succeed the house, I was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with happiness.
With this, I could freely exhibit the talent that I had without any hindrance.
I will spend my whole life devoted to sorcery experiment.
Until that moment when Sera was chosen as the next head, to be honest I felt a bit regret being born in this kind of life.
That"s true right? Look, my father, Jake=Ractos, who had a brilliant qualities as a sorcerer didn"t able to continue his way on the sorcery because he had to succeed the house as he was the eldest son.
Thus, if I had to succeed the house, then I had to gave up on sorcery.
Thats why, I regretted being born into this position as the eldest son.
I want to create it. Using my talent to the utmost of its capability and creating the research that would leave my mark that I had contributed in society.
In the place where people compete in knowledge, experience, and new invention, and not in the contest of bloodbath .
Its fine if many didn"t praise me for what I had done.
I just wanted to left some proof.
If I became the next head of the house, I sure that I would drift away from the way of sorcery. My father was the good example.
But, all of that worry, were gone thanks to my sister!
I, would be able to do sorcery experiment without anyone blaming me! How blessed I am!!
But, well...
Indeed the time when I first enrolled into this Diebold Academy, I was so ecstatic due to the fact that I would be able to do sorcery experiment for my whole life and so my tension was at its peak.
But was it alright as a big brother, to shove the difficult matter of succeeding the house to my little sister just like that?
Recently,I thought about that alot.
My big sister, Daria, said that she would help Sera in our hometown for a moment while she looking for a marriage partner after she graduated.
And even if I would adopted into Nizzet House the moment I graduated, I suppose I still had to do something for Sera"s sake, too.
The thing that I could do... yep, sorcery, right...?
Perhaps I should created some spell that made someone able to get pleasant sleep and took all their fatigue away?
Hmm, but I wonder. I felt that it would be hard with me alone.
That"s right! At time like this, lets not thought about it alone, and ask other people for their thought, too!
No, not only just their thought. Wouldn"t the efficacy and the probability of success raised for several times if I create a team rather than doing it all alone, right!?
Also, doing experiment together with everyone, helping each other to reach one result, felt like something really worth doing!
Now that it"s decided, I had to find the member to do the experiment together!
Well, even though my cla.s.smates felt a bit distance from me, probably due to my name, but it wasn"t like I didn"t had any senior or friends that had the same thought as me.
If from those people I were able to recruit another members, there"s possibility that I would be able to finish my project before the graduation!
AMAZING! The plan started to grow! As I thought, sorcery experiment, pursuit of magic, it"s really fun!!
"Kihi... Hyaha! Kahyahyaahya...!!"
Ah, not good, I got too ecstatic that I unconsciously let out laughter.
It seems that I sometimes laughed without realizing it to the extent that my family reprimand me to fix this habit of mine.
Aah, everyone sure thought of me as a weird person because I suddenly laughed out of nowhere, right?
Perhaps, the reason of everyone taking their distance from me was this, rather than my pedigree.
... Probably, I should invent spell or magic potion to make one able to held her laugh first.
No, I didn"t really care what other people thought about me. I had to do something for Sera first after all.
While I said that I wanted to create a spell for Sera, but actually ,Sera was kinda simple, and for better or worse, an airhead. So, I had follow up for her no matter what.
Now that I thought about it, I became kinda worried about her...Really, will she be alright? But, there should be lot of people that look after Sera, after all.
Yep, she should be alright.
