I blame my promotion missions for all this guilt, that seems to be accumulating as time went on. Even after I sent Inari back to her home, these guilty feelings didn't disappear, rather they are increasing by a lot.

Why can't my promotion missions ever be normal?

I skipped the first three promotions from Tier-1 to Tier-3 but from there the nightmares started for me.

My Tier-4 promotion mission brought me Inari but that was because the other options were not suitable for me ever. They are all weird. Even that option was but that was the best out of them.

Moreover, the system started to be sassy. The skill descriptions started to be vague and at times berating me for not even understanding such simple terms.

I can't understand what's that about.

There is no way that everyone's description of skills was that way. If it were, then it would have been mentioned in a book somewhere. Moreover, it started after reaching I killed that demon, not before. It was as if something changed at that moment.

What, I have no idea.

I don't mind it being sassy but when it comes to the promotion missions, it is becoming difficult for me. The missions continued to be weird and even the options to choose from reduced as my rank went up.

It makes me wonder if the Tier-7 promotion mission would be only a single option. It would mean that I have to do a compulsory mission and have no other choice. If I don't complete the mission, then that would mean that I can't reach Tier-7 ever.

Thinking about that, my brain is heating up.

Since I can't do anything about that, I need to push that problem for the future me to solve, which future me, I have no clue about that.

I may not solve that, but maybe I can find out the reason why it acts the way it does.

There are still many volumes that I still can access in the Nexus library. Maybe I can see if that information is available in the sections that I skimmed over as I had other things to concentrate on. If there is no information, then there is nothing that I can do about that.

I still have a month of holidays, which I originally thought to dedicate to my training and improving my rank.

I have yet to reach level 30 in Tier-6. There are more than 70 levels yet to cover and each level would require a EXP more than the previous level. It means the difficulty of reaching Tier-7 before the end of the first half of the fifth year has reduced.

It matters not. I don't see anything big happening in six months either.

Nothing goes in your way, you should mould it to your way. It's the only way to survive. If you don't recognize or forget that, then that would be the end of your life.

I know that Angela was able to hold off until the end of my fifth year, which would conclude her contract with the academy. After that, her family would see someone to marry her.

Though she may have pushed that away, I am sure that they were searching already ready to present when the twins complete their tenure and return home. It means that I don't have much time to improve myself.

What to do?

I have no plans now on how to convince her parents. So I decided to improve as much as I could and let fate decide what would happen.

So that means, I would hunt or use the skill Rank Booster to improve as fast as possible but those plans changed when I returned to home after the fourth-year exams ended.

A surprise was waiting for me.

My mother was home but neither she nor my father cared to inform me about her arrival beforehand. Now with her home, things changed.

I would hunt monsters and improve my rank but I can't do as much as I wanted to. So my increase in this month would be less than it was in the past five months at the academy. There was nothing I could do.

My mother can't leave easily and coming here now would be a rare chance for us to spend some time together. I already know that the plan to gain Angela through absolute strength may have taken a nose dive, and I need a new approach for that.

Since that was gone, I can spend as much time as possible with my family now and can think about something later for that issue with Angela's family.

Since my mother returned, my father spent more time with us than he used to before. This was because of the "advice" of my mother.

Before I started last semester, I spoke with my mother about the difficulties that my father faced. So we spoke with him to make use of the family and reduce work on him.

It wouldn't be good for the family if the entire work was done by him alone.

I thought that after my mother's advice, he would have listened but he didn't. He continued as he did before. My mother found out about that and the reason why she took leave and came home.

After she arrived, she changed how things were done.

Yeah, she arrived a week ago before I came home.

Now, my father has responsibility for doing things that are the most important but other things were done by members who we know are not against us.

Everything that the family did would be recorded and my parents would have access to it. if they think that it needs to be reviewed then that would be what they would do.

As things changed, my father had the time to spend with my mother and me more.

The month was over before I could do anything with it. Now it's time to return to the academy for the fifth and final year at the academy.
