The fortified city of Lamur. With a population of about 50,000, it is only a mundane, medium-sized city in the Holy Amelia Kingdom.

However, Lamur has one major characteristic that is rare in the world. Whenever there is a turn of the times, a large number of children are born with special favors (gifts).

And in recent years, the offensive of one of the four great demon kings - Ashmedia - has brought the kingdom of Amelia to an unprecedented crisis. To this movement, Rosemary Lotto Amelia, a saint and the first princess of the Amelia Kingdom, summons the brave and the wise in rapid succession. As if in response, children with the gifts of the Swordsman, the Spear King, and the Great Mage appear in this lamur.

And the boy with the gift of the Spear King is my opponent for today's mock battle.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's the matter with you? The world's most incompetent person!

The beautiful brown-haired boy's wooden sticks barely prevent his head, chest and abdomen from being thrust into the air. However, when I say prevent, I mean that the brown-haired boy is merely manipulating the stick with one hand and for fun. Still, it's all I can do to dodge.

No, Roman, I'm not the most incompetent person in the world, I'm the most incompetent person in the world!

The brown-haired boy, Roman's fellow blonde-haired handsome boy, yells at me, and the boys in the dojo where I am training laugh at me.

Ora, got it!

Immediately after Roman's bouncy voice, a stick is snapped into my forehead, and my consciousness is easily ripped away.

From the pleasant breeze on my cheek and the pain in my forehead, I open my eyelids to see a beautiful blonde girl looking into my face with a worried look on her face.

'Lila?'

When I moved my head to check, I found myself in the shade of a tree in the corner of a mock battlefield. From the nearby dojo, I could hear the call of a mock swordfight.

You're not going to be able to get away with it. It looks like you got a pretty decent shot at the face?

She asked me, holding her long, wavy blonde hair, which was waving in the wind.

She, Lila Herner, was my, Kai Heinemann's wife-to-be, but that temple revelation when I was thirteen years old dissolved as soon as it was discovered that my gift was [the most incompetent in the world].

'Yeah, I guess I just had a tantrum,'

My childhood friend peers at my forehead, and I realize that my cheeks are getting hotter as two large breasts push up against the black uniformity of my clothing. I'm aware that my cheeks are getting hotter as two large breast bulges push up against the black uniformity of my clothing, which is getting closer and closer. You're not going to be able to find out if you're not going to be able to find it, but you're going to be able to find it.

Since the expression of the gift of [the most incompetent in this world], my physical abilities have become significantly lower, and no matter how much I train, my physical strength will not improve. I am now more frail than an untrained woman and child. That's me. It's rather fortuitous that I only had to deal with a single bump.

Lila gently touches my forehead and exhales deeply. I'm afraid I've worried her too much.

"Are you going to the capital soon, Kai?

Yes, it's a little difficult for me to stay here.

I'm not sure if it's because of the pride that this place, Lamur, has been releasing beneficial bounty (gift) holders to the world, or if it's because of the gift supremacy of the Amelia Kingdom, which treats those with trash gifts like me with coldness. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. I've had strangers hurl abuse at me, and even stones thrown at me.

I'm sure your mother's strict orders to come to the capital must have been due to her inability to see that.

''So you are going to get a job in King's Landing?

I'm going to look for it in the neighboring [Babel]. I'm sure you'll be able to find a job there, even for a junk gift holder like me.

A neutral academic city - [World Magic Academy (Babel)]. It is a huge academic city with several academies where the sons and daughters of important people from all over the world attend. It's not a big deal for the giftless race to learn, so discrimination against scrap gift holders like me is not a big deal. I think it's easier to find a job than I thought.

I see. ...... to Babel. 

Lila nodded her head surprisingly easily.

She was initially quite reluctant to leave her childhood friends, me and Raina, but from the looks of it, I think she has come to terms with her feelings.

"I'll write you a letter.

It's unnecessary. Because--

He smiles softly and says something, but closes his mouth and stands up.

I need to pack up my room, so I'll take my leave. Okay, Kai, I'll see you later.

Uh-huh. Also,

I stand up too, raising my right hand while tilting my head at the strange nuance of the greeting.

Now, let's go say one last thing to Grandpa.

As I sat up, thinking about it

"Hey!

Roman's voice is dense as he approaches me, as if he's replacing Lila.

'Yeah? What?

"I'm the gift holder of the Spear King!

That's pretty abrupt. Well, it always is.

I guess so.

"You and Lila are no longer wives! I'm a branch of the Heinemann family, but I'm also a member of the Heinemann family. I have the right to be with her. No, it's only me!

Me and Roman are cousins. Apparently, Roman has always been poppycock to Lila, and he has this blatant rivalry with her.

Roman's gift is the [Spear King]. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is the future supreme warrior of the nation, so to speak. Naturally, the government of the Amelia Kingdom insisted on training in the royal capital, as did Raina and Keith.

However, Roman was adamant that he would prefer to train here in Lamuur. Of course, Amelia's government is reluctant to do so at first, but when it learns that Roman is unwilling to budge, it eventually gives its permission on the condition that he does not miss his apprenticeship with the Heinemann family.

Probably the reason Roman was so adamant about his apprenticeship in Lamur is because Laila had turned down a government scout and wanted to live in Lamur.

That's for Laila to decide.

Not long after Lila and I dissolved our marriage, she declared to the Hellner family that she would choose her own partner. Originally, she was against the old-fashioned traditions of the house, and that's just like her. I think the dissolution of my fiancee's marriage with me was a good opportunity for her to distance herself from the house.

You have a lot of confidence, don't you? You think Mr. Lila would choose an incompetent person like you?

No, you and I have a different quality of feeling for her. That's an unnecessary worry.

Lila and I have grown up like brother and sister. It would only perplex both of us if someone asked us to get married now.

What do you mean by that--

Roman, don't talk to such inferiors, get back here! Let's continue the mock-up!

One of my mentors, a big-boned man with a split-jawed shaved head - Ciga scolded Roman loudly while giving me a look of contempt. Even that one was favorable until I got that title, so people change.

Master Sigha is right. What kind of a fool would waste our precious time on such an incompetent failure in life?

Rikku, a handsome blond boy next to Master Ciga, admonishes Roman with a sneer.

'Damn! I know! Don't get any closer to Lila!

I click my tongue and let out a discarded word like that, and Roman runs off at a trot.

I let out a light sigh and head to the main house where Grandpa is.

"Thank you for everything you've done for me,

Posture and bail

"I'm sorry I've gotten around to it.

Grandpa comes up with an apology.

"What?

The fact that you broke off your engagement to Lila and that you've effectively kicked her out of here.

Laila and I had a brother-sister relationship, and I had dreams of going to King's Landing and Babel. So I'm not pessimistic about it at all.

This is my heart. It has been my secret dream to go to Babel, the mecca for hunters, to become a hunter. So, I'm glad to see that I got that chance, even if it was just a small one. The case of Lila is also a chance for her to change.

You can come back at any time, you know.

No, I don't belong here. Never again--

Come back to show your face once in a while!

Before I could finish my answer, Grandpa exclaimed angrily and got up to leave the room.

So that's it, too. Since I was a little girl, Grandpa had always taken care of me as the next head of the family, even if I was a lousy bastard. Even if I'm a lame, lousy dropout, that doesn't take away the family's compassion.

I bowed my head once more in gratitude.
