Reincarnated as the Legitimate Son of a Duke Family's ~ Just Trying To Live Live My Life Normally, But Somehow I've Got a Harem?~

Chapter 14 : Serious Lack of Stamina and Physical Strength

Qi Energy, also known as Chakra — it’s said to be a power bestowed upon the human race which is considered to be weaker than the other races in this world.

[T/N : Lol, author took reference from Naruto, can’t believe he used Chakra for this novel]

Elves possess spirit magic, dragons have dragon transformation, and beastkin are endowed with unique innate abilities.

For the physically weak humans, it’s said to be a skill they invented to counteract this.

Well, I don’t really know the details… Probably something like that… Never mind, I don’t really know.

What I do know is that using Qi energy consumes stamina, and even among the human race, there are only a few who can use it efficiently.

“That concludes the explanation.”

“Who are you saying this to?”

“It’s nothing! I mean, you’re still as fast as ever!”

My running speed is probably around 60 kilometers per hour. I moved by utilizing surfaces like walls and trees to avoid colliding with people…

In the midst of that, Kaera was also running alongside me, wind element magic wrapped around her legs.

“Hehe~, I still won’t lose to you, master. This is my specialty, after all. By the way, doesn’t this feel nostalgic? Lately, we haven’t done anything like this.”

“Oh yeah, we used to play tag a lot, didn’t we?”

“That was a scary moment for me also. The Patriarch had such a frightening expression on his face while chasing us.”

“Definitely. He looked way too intimidating back then.”

My father is pretty imposing… He can make unknown children cry just by his appearance.

Back when my father used to come home often, we would play tag around the town as part of Kaera’s training.

During those times, both of us were chased by my father.

“Should we play again when the lord returns?”

“Ugh, spare me. But seriously, I’d rather not see him if possible.”

“Saying that is so pitiful. The lord actually finds the master quite cute, you know?”

“Is that really the right way to put it…?”

He’s the type who could attack someone the moment he meets them and back then I was sure that he might kill me, who is the eldest son of our family.

I always felt like I was desperately running away. Yet, he’s incredibly soft with Maria… Life is truly unfair.

While having this conversation, we somehow managed to arrive just before the bell rang.

“Well, we made it.”

“Oh, who are you saying that to? You’ve slowed down, haven’t you? My master wouldn’t have been so late with just this.”

“Le-leave me alone… I feel dizzy, oh no.”

“What should we do? Rest for a while now? Or go to a nice place?”

“I won’t rest, and I won’t go to a nice place either! And don’t make me expend any more energy…”

“Alright, alright, I got it… Well then, I’m off.”

“Yeah, see you later.”

I moved my heavy legs and somehow made my way to the classroom.

And just as I opened the door, the chime rang signifying the start of the first class.

“Phew, that was close.”

“G-Good morning!”

“Merle-san, good morning… You seem energetic even in the morning.”

“Hehe~, all I have is my energy.”

“No, that’s a good thing. Well then, please take care of me today as well.”

“Yes, I’ll do my best. I’ll attend the classes properly and learn more about this kingdom.”

Saying this, she clenched her fists and pumped them up.

It’s only the second day, yet she’s so motivated. I should learn a thing or two from her.

☆☆☆☆☆☆

…Or at least, that’s what I thought, but… Ugh! Before I knew it, it was already lunchtime!

I didn’t attend any classes! I came here for nothing! This doesn’t look good at all!

“How did it come to this?!”

“Well, isn’t it obvious? Considering how things were going, you probably used too much Qi Energy, which made you tired. By the way, weren’t you sleeping too much?”

“Um, well… I did my best to wake up.”

“Merle-san doesn’t need to apologize. It’s quite clear who’s at fault here. Could it be that yesterday’s events were all a dream?”

“Ugh… You!”

Darn it, my stamina is far too low.

Well, it’s not surprising given my lazy lifestyle.

I might need to do some training from now on… Ugh, that sounds like such a hassle.
