My Daddy Hide His Power - Chapter 76
Monthly evaluation D-2.
The warm spring day feels like yesterday, but it’s already the end of June.
The bright sunlight is quite hot.
Under the shade of a tree on the school ground with its green leaves spread out.
As I lay down and opened a book in the air, I felt a bit drowsy, probably from starvation.
“Ugh.”
“Wow, you scared me!”
My eyes opened as I was about to close.
When I came to my senses, Uncle was holding the book that almost fell on my face.
“You have to be careful.”
My uncle looked down at me and smiled.
“I’m sleepy because Uncle’s knee is comfortable…”
“Then stop reading and take a nap. I’ll wake you up when class starts.”
“Eung. No. I have an exam the day after tomorrow.”
I jumped up and patted my cheeks to wake up, then opened the book again.
I don’t need magic formulas, but I still had to memorize as many of each type as possible.
If I use magic that is too difficult, my identity may be questioned.
It was to make an excuse, saying, “I use it because it’s a magic formula that everyone knows!” when a situation came up.
“But doesn’t Uncle miss my brothers? It’s been a while since you came back to the Capital, but you’re here. You can’t even go home and stay at the official residence…”
I felt a little sorry for Uncle, who had been working as an education officer for the martial arts department for about a month to see me.
He seems to be trying to reach his goal by coming here, and he always comes to see me like this after lunch—.
“It’s not. Since I go out, I often go home. And there’s not much time left for temporary work. I’ll see the twins soon, so that’s okay. I’m worried about you.”
“Me?”
“Can you do well alone?”
“I’m going to take the test in two days too?”
My Uncle blinked blankly at my words.
“You’re going to graduate at once for the monthly evaluation?”
“Yes!”
“Hahaha!:
My Uncle pinched my cheek.
“You are full of confidence. Even the twins took three months.”
“I can do it at once!”
“That’s amazing.”
Looking at my Uncle’s smiling expression, he admires me, but—.
The spirit of graduating at the end of the month evaluation was unbelievable.
“I can really do it?!”
“Yeah, yeah.”
“Tc. How long has it been since Uncle graduated?”
“Hmm, when was it in the training center… but I think I remember it. It’s a month.”
“What? Uncle took a month too!”
“That’s right. You can graduate in one month. Because four people are in a group. Since you’re popular, didn’t your boy friend say he’ll catch it instead?”
“That…!”
I was stabbed when I remembered Cheshire’s words that he really said he would catch everything, but I shook my head.
“I can do it by myself!”
“Ahaha, yes. No, but. Why do you catch it. In my day…”
Uncle narrowed his eyes as if he were lost in memory.
“That was the confession method that was popular in training centers. Go to the person you like and say, ‘Don’t lift a hand. I’ll get you all.’
“Ahahaha! That’s funny. Really?”
“Yeah. I seduced your Aunt like that too.”
“Yes?”
I was amazed.
“Did you meet Aunt at the training center?”
“You didn’t know?”
Was it a love marriage?
Nine out of ten high-ranking nobles are arranged marriages between families.
It was a very interesting story in the original worldview, where you can’t find romance even after washing your eyes.
“Tell me more, uncle!”
“Well, when I entered the training center, Ordia was already in her 2nd years.”
“Huh? What’s wrong with Aunt?”
By the way, Aunt’s rank is also DOS.
With magic major defense class.
“The evaluation was only take with Grade 6 friends every time. Those friends said that graduating was difficult, so she had to help them.”
“Wow.”
Indeed, Rubinstein to the bone.
There is no doubt that it was the protagonist’s older sister—.
“Ordia didn’t even have an offensive line, and her graduation was delayed because she shared her scores with her friends.”
“I see.”
“I don’t understand why she does that, but well. Come to think of it, I fell for that kind of personality.”
Uncle smiled, perhaps thinking of Aunt.
“But one day I saw her crying. She wants to see her father.”
“U, uh, what to do…”
“She wants to help her friends, but her graduation is delayed, and she misses her father.”
“I feel sorry for Auntie.”
“So I just went and said. Hey, let’s take the test with me.”
Uncle added with a stern expression.
“…I’ll make sure you don’t get a drop of blood on your hands.”
“Hup.”
I closed my mouth.
“S, so cool.”
It couldn’t be anything but a perfect confession in this bloody place 24 hours a day, 365 days a year—.
“U, Uncle is the best… really…”
“It’s no joke, right?”
Uncle was flattered.
“Yes! So what did Aunt say?”
“She glared at me while crying. And.”
“Then?”
“Tsk, are you not going to call me Sister?” (t/n : This is actually 누나 but it can be use to address older woman, not just a real sister.)
“….”
“That’s what she said.”
“Yes? Ahaha!”
I smiled as I imagined the cute two of them as children.
“Then we went to the exam together, and I got a Class A Monster.”
“Wow. Class A? Is there Class A? I thought Class C was the highest?”
“Ah, there are two Class A on the field. Just getting a Class A is enough to graduate. It’ll give you a thousand points.”
“W, whoa! Really?”
“Of course, it’s hard to catch it. No one catches it. It’s difficult.”
“But Uncle caught it, right?”
“Yes. I caught it, gave Ordia his core and confessed.”
Uncle said again with a solemn expression.
“Sister, will you go out with me when you get out of here?”
“Uh, ahahaha!”
“Hahaha!”
Confessing with monster’s core.
Indeed, it was like a romance that bloomed in a bloody worldview.

Monthly evaluation D-0.
Long-awaited day has finally come.
“Yap! Nice weather!”
“W, what should I do? I, I’m nervous…”
“….”
The monthly evaluation field is the Valkyrie Mountains behind the training center building.
Our group gathered at the entrance to the field and waited for the test to begin.
“Lilith, what did you bring so much?”
Jem asked, seeing me dragging a teddy bear bag on my back and a bundle in my hand.
“Mmh. It’s all we need…”
“Phew. I’ll hold it for you.”
Jem took the large cloth bag that was in my hand. It looks light for her.
“Huh. What is it? It’s light.”
“Wow. As expected, the superhuman power…”
“Ahaha!”
There were also many children at the entrance of the field.
It felt like I was at a picnic, so I was a little excited.
“Ah! The teacher called! I’ll come!”
Leader, Lilith Rubinstein!
I wore the magic tool bracelet given by the researchers at the entrance to my left wrist. It was a scoreboard of sorts.
Looking back, Cheshire and Jem are checking their weapons.
I saw Cheshire swinging a wooden sword.
‘Should I give it now?’
I was somehow embarrassed,
“Cheshire!”
“Yeah.”
“But how do you catch a monster with a wooden sword? You have to cut and tear it.”
“…? I can’t just catch it. I’m going to put mana on it and catch it.”
“You can’t just use it. We’ll save it because we don’t know what’s going to happen.”
“….”
Cheshire looked at me blankly, as if he sensed me using unnecessary words.
“L, look over there. Gerard has a good one too, right?”
There was Gerard where I casually pointed.
All the swordsmen members usually carry wooden swords, but there were also a few golden spoons that brought genuine swords with them when they entered.
‘Anyway, Gerard made a greedy combination.’
Gerard wore two Class 2 with red name tags on either side of him.
I looked at Cheshire examining the wooden sword again, then took something out of my bag that Jem was carrying.
Something like a stick wrapped in cloth. This—.
‘My present!’
It was a gift secretly prepared at the time before we went to the training center.
“What is this?”
“Open it.”
Cheshire, who was perplexed, quickly untied and opened the cloth after receiving it.
“….”
“H, huh? W, warrior L, Louie’s m, magic sword…”
Rom, who was watching, recognized him and his eyes widened.
Yes! Warrior Louie’s magic sword!
Who is the warrior Louie?
He is the male protagonist in the mega-hit fairy tale .
Chesier may not be interested, but it is a popular toy that ordinary boys want to have.
“This is…”
“It’s pretty solid and nice, right? Wouldn’t it be sharper than a wooden sword?”
Even a toy would be more useful than a wooden sword. This is because the hardness of the blade has been increased.
‘I copied the way the Emperor upgraded my wand.’
I stood there shyly to see Cheshire’s reaction, but he didn’t say anything.
“D, do you not like it?”
“No. I like it.”
Chessie threw away his wooden sword on the spot and swung his magic sword.
It was just the right size to fit in his hand.
“Thank you.”
“Hihi. Mmhm…”
“Hey, Cheshire. Is that all you got?”
Jem stepped in.
“What?”
“I like it. Thank you.”
Jem imitated Cheshire’s blunt tone, then mumbled.
“Is that all! Lilith brought something heavy and even gave it to you as a gift!”
“No, no! Jem, Cheshire is like that. Thank you is enough for me.”
“Oh, he’s such a boring guy. You won’t be popular with girls then!”
“….”
Cheshire stared at me.
“Oh, I’m going in now! Let’s go quickly too!”
“…Lilith.”
I was about to enter the field, but Cheshire called me.
“Eung?”
Jem, Rom, and I turned around and looked back at Cheshire for some reason.
“….”
“Why?”
“…Don’t even lift a hand.”
“….”
“I will catch them all.”
I opened my mouth wide.
No, wait. Isn’t this the ‘training center confession method’ that my Uncle said?
“Oh~”
Jem blankly tapped me on the shoulder and teased me. Beside him, Rom also laughed.
“O, oh, eung.”
Somehow, I was just wiggling my hands because I was embarrassed, but Cheshire walked past me and said,
“I’ll make sure you don’t get a drop of blood on your hands.”
…Whoa?
