Volume VI - Chapter 8: Nobility Ceremony

Three days. Today was the third day since I arrived in Cevilian. I had already met and talked to most of my friends.

I still hadn't spoken to Sue, though. Julian and Lucia weren't at the academy either, so there hadn't been a face-to-face meeting, but they were aware that I had woken up.

Everyone was aware, actually. After all, the whole world now knew that I was awake... knew what had happened to me.

And that I would become a noble.

The ceremony was only a few minutes away, after all. And where I was now was at the back of a very large, very large indeed, auditorium.

Hundreds of Cevilian nobles, 'guests' from the Holar Republic, maybe hundreds of cameras... and more.

They were all waiting for me, for my appearance on stage.

I took a deep breath, let myself be silent for a moment... preparing.
