─3rd POV
To the both side, the walls are composed of simple, gray stone, while beneath my feet lies a rustic, gray porcelain stone.
The area is reminiscent of a square, possessing ample space, surrounded by passageways on either side.
Currently, I find myself positioned at the center, the knights are watching from afar, donning brown leather armor. My attire consists of a leather-based outfit.
Clank
In front of me is a knight, we're standing by the side, our legs stretches, and our swords aligned to the side as we firmly clasp the hilt, a flickering emanates from both blades.

'Is this a Pressure Style?'
I momentarily recoil as his sword relentlessly strikes horizontally.
In an instant, I moved away from the position where his sword was about to strike down again.
I swiftly rotate my body and successfully maneuver past him. In response, he promptly reacts by pivoting as well, resulting in a direct confrontation.
Without hesitation, I swiftly grasp his hand while he maintains his grip on the sword.
He ceased his actions due to the fact that my sword was positioned directly at the level of his neck.
"Your Highness, the second princess, I-I surrender," he pleaded and we adjusted the position.
"Don't let your guard down, and don't be too hasty in fighting. Otherwise, you will face the consequences."
"I do apologize, the only thing I can do is speed up the movement and the enemy will retreat. I shall offer my life as people like me are a disgrace to the Virio Empire."
'Y-Your life? please, no, your loyalty is too much.'
"...It's fine, you have your own way but before you make a decision, you should consider what the outcome is in the end. Therefore, I politely request you to stand up as I am solely present here for the purpose of practice."
"As you wish."
"Are you trying to wield the Pressure Style?"
"Your Highness, how did you know?"
"The way you move."
"Princess, you are correct, I want to wield it so my strength will increase as it was part of me.
"The Pressure Style is a part of the Form Chronicles, owned by Ares, the God of War. When you achieve it, you should be careful with your movements because if you move wrongly, you will be weakened for the rest of your life."
"Y-Yes. Thank you and I'll be careful for the sake of country."
"...I'm leaving, my training is over."
They straightened their bodies and looked at me as I walked away from the training area.
'I still need to see my dad.'
Today, the current holder of the NUA Assembly has sent a letter to my father. I have been waiting to discuss the Grimoire with him as I intend to use it in the Rankings.
I have heard that he has already arrived.
Upon my arrival, I overheard a conversation regarding the aura flows while standing in front of the double door, to my left and right were white halls.
I did not enter the room and I decided to listen.
"..... .....Father, the aura flows should be invisible."
'This baritone voice, brother? Why is he here?'
"I can hardly believe it myself. Our blood contains mana and aura that surround our bodies. These two segments flow within our existence. The only visible flows are from the grimoire, which is the mortal's ability, that is why my title in the NUA Assembly is Solidity."
"The grimoire is a mortal's ability through generation but it must be read correctly for us to speak. If it is read wrongly, we will be unable to speak for a week. ...But still, it's strange, they don't doubt their daughter."
"Son, she is not bad, so they have decided to let it be and they didn't ask her."
"I see, can I marry their daughter dad? Let me introduce myself to her."
"No."
"Why?"
"Because she already has a partner, and the descendants of Angel."
"Y-Yeah."
"Anyway, why are you here? shouldn't you be in the world church cathedral? How's being a holy knight?"
"I am doing well, father. My sister is one of the Rankings, I'd like to watch and I am here to accompany you and mother as you attend the Academy."
'He leaves his duty for me?! B-Brother I'm hap── I-Idiot! I am not happy!'
– – It seems that I am experiencing a strong urge to express my frustration through physical force. Nevertheless, it would be best if I refrain from listening to this conversation. I still need to prepare myself for the day, but I will make sure to visit my father at a later time.
