“ ...ber..think? “, said erik with a face look confused with tara's answer. Father and Leonhard who heard it also felt confused.

Tara who did not know what to answer, just said it. Luci who was next to tara patted his own forehead.

“ oi..THAT'S NOT THE RIGHT ANSWER!, HOW THE HELL ARE YOU! “, yelling Luci annoyed at tara but like a rabbit tantrum for father, leonhard, and erik

(don't scream like that! I don't know what to answer either!), inner tara. Tara figured out how to explain to dad, leonhard, and erik. 

“ a.it..think...we should learn to control mana first than others (maybe), and.how I can do it, it's all because of you. I saw you guys using magic earlier so I thought about doing the same but not the same (lying) “, said tara at length without gaps

(you think that way they believe? ), inner luci is upset

Father,leonhard, and erik fell silent for a moment as taraa explained. Their faces suddenly turned serious.

“ you didn't lie tara? “, says dad

“ no “

“ oh yes? “, says leonhard

“ Yes “

“ really? “, erik said

“ of course “, answer tara with an awkward smile and start sweating coldly. 

“ hmm..”, muttered the three of them with a suspicious tatpan on tara.

Tara could only smile awkwardly at them. Luci who witnessed it just kept silent no matter what happened.

“ tara, it turns out you..”, said erik with his stolen gaze

( huh? What?, am I caught lying? ), Inner tara cold sweat

“...apparently you sa~ngat genius! “, said erik cheerfully

(DID THEY BELIEVE?! ), inner tara and luci

“ he? Whahuh? “, said tara confused

“ yes. You can control mana that fast, you are so genius, even more genius than me “

(wait.), inner tara

“ yes, erik is right. Maybe you are also more genius than me, from father and mother also of course “, said Leonhard

(wait a minute ), inner tara back

“ hoo..totally also “, said father

(I DON'T UNDERSTAND! ), inner tara scream

Tara did not understand what her sister said. The father who realized the confusion of tara approached tara and explained everything that, most people can control mana at the age of seven to ten years, there were even those who could control where in his maturity age that was eighteen years old. Tara who can control mana at the age of five is a rare thing in magic.

Not everyone can do it, people who managed to do it at the age of tara there are only a few people and it can be calculated with a count of fingers. The one who can do it is called a genius. Generally this can only be done in the imperial noble family only. But since tara is not from a noble family, this time cases are very rare, maybe this is the first time that happened.

“ therefore we are amazed at you tara, you are so great “, said Leonhard with a gentle smile

“ yes!, it's just my sister “, said erik with pride, whereas who did it tara, but somehow erik who felt proud

“ we should celebrate! “, said father spirit

“ dad's right!, eat good! “, said the spirit of erik and Leonhard who only smiled and nodded his head once.

Tara could only smile awkwardly at those who were excited, but it was just a little thing that she did but how could her family be so excited like this? 

“ well, we end the training today and we start again tomorrow, today we prepare the celebration!“, said father spirit

“ well!, I want roast meat! “, said erik girang

“ we have to prepare the food tara likes. Anyway, this is for the celebration of the success of tara on the first day of exercise “

“ already, now we go inside and tell mom about this “, said dad

“em..you guys go first, I still want to play here with luci “, said tara

“ you guys have fun, we will prepare the celebration “, said leonhard

Tara nodded with a smile. They walked towards the back door of the house leaving tara and luci alone. After seeing them enter the house and disappear from view, tara could freely ask Luci.

“ huft..exhausting once “, said luci then lay under the tree earlier

“ yes.you are right, hey luci, what did you say was right? “, ask tara and then sit next to the lying luci

“ hm? About that genius?, yes it's all true “

“ what is this too.including the ability of the emores? “, ask tara back

“ yes..of course, what is it? “, answer luci and say a question to tara. The look on tara's face turned moody. Luci is confused why tara is like that but now Luci feels guilty when he does not know what his mistake is. Luci rose to take his position to sit down.

“ hey, what's wrong with you?, did I say something that echoes your feelings?“, tanya Luci felt guilty for tara

“ no, it's not your fault just that.I was thinking, can I do the role of an emores? “, said tara with doubt

Hearing him, Luci then smiled looking at tara. Yeah, she understands tara's feelings. Initially tara lived a normal life but after the events that befell her she had to bear a huge responsibility on her shoulders as an emores for the entire imperial territory.

“ of course you can do it, tara.dengar, I've seen everything in your past life “, said luci comforting and meyemangati tara. 

Tara used to be a friendly high school girl. He is responsible, unyielding, and good with everyone. He was willing to help others, even though he also needed their help. Many people like tara because of its goodness, but there is also because of the goodness of tara, they even hate tara.

“I know, it must be hard for you, but.believe me, you can be an emores unmatched by anyone. And you do not have to worry about anything else because I will always be by your side, in the future you will also get many friends “, said Luci comforting tara

“ ..luci. You know it's not the previous events that happened to me, sorry to disappoint you but..it looks like I'm going to be hard to trust anyone other than myself “, said tara moody

Luci was surprised by tara's words. She also felt guilty, nor should she talk about trust in tara after she was betrayed by her own friend in her previous life.

“ ta-tara.forgive me, I shouldn't talk like that “, said luci regretting his words

Looking at Luci like that, tara also felt guilty to luci. Not wanting the atmosphere between them to be awkward, tara said something to luci

“ is okay, I am also sorry to say such a nasty thing, but there is one thing I want to say, “

“ what is it? “, ask luci

“...i. will try to trust people again, you take it easy, I already trust you completely, so you don't worry about that huh?, you've helped me a lot“, you've helped me, said tara with a strong determination accompanying her.

Luci who heard it was happy with what tara just said. How not?, tara couldn't possibly do everything alone. He had to do it together with his confidantes later. A togetherness without a strong belief, there will be a split that can separate them later.

“ yes.., but remember one thing tara, you have to trust fully in your family, they love you so much”

“ I have trusted them from the beginning kok “, said tara blak blakan

“ heh?!, since when?! “, said luci with a little raise his voice

“ since the beginning, before you appeared before me, I already trusted them “

“ ja-so..I'm the second person to earn your trust after your family is so? “

“ yes. “, reply tara quickly. Luci exuded a disappointed aura around him

“ hah..I became the second, unfortunately my fate “, murmured luci. Tara just held back the laughter of seeing Luci in such shock

“ well, let's go back inside, they must have been waiting for “, tara stood up and took Luci

“ well..”, luci still put on his disappointed face.

They walked together and went into the house.

After a few seconds when they entered the house, a black aura appeared and formed an abstract figure near the tree that was previously tara and the others were. The black figure was like watching tara from afar and disappeared after tara entered the house with luci.
