When Raphael brought up the issue of responsibility, Blair bit her lips. She lowered her head and murmured in a hoarse voice.
"I...I know it's my fault…"
She admitted that she's the one threatening her own family, and she did feel guilty about it. Because this family...was her everything.
"Blair will stay at home if that's what big bro wants…"
Blair crumpled the edge of her knee-length dress. The kid silently looked up at Raphael and smiled wryly.
"Sorry, big bro…"
"...it's okay. Next time, don't be too wilful when you want to do something that involves the family."
Raphael patted Blair's head and forced a smile for the kid even though he barely smiled at anyone.
"Just prepare for your enrollment to the academy. If you can get into the Elton International Academy before you're 10...dad will be proud of you."
Raphael shifted the conversation so that he wouldn't feel too awkward around Blair. Indeed, his tactic worked.
When he heard about the Elton International Academy, the kid's eyes brightened.
The Elton International Academy! An academy open for all ability users from various backgrounds and various races.
They not only have humans from all over the world but also have other races as well such as the fairies, the dwarves, the elves, and so on.
This academy was one of the most prestigious academies in the world that even other races viewed as a great academy to teach the Ability Users.
The academy got into many good relationships with other races because of this, enabling them to employ other races as the teachers to broaden the students' mind and experience.
They also often sent their students to unique places such as the abyss, or the underwater kingdom for training.
All in all, the Elton International Academy was what the prodigy kids from the 7 great and 7 sacred families idolized.
Almost everyone from the Godlif country would want to study at this academy.
It symbolised status and honour too.
"T-the Elton International Academy...they let kids below 10 enrolled too now?" Blair carefully asked as she calmed her chaotic breath.
Usually, the minimum age to get into an academy was 10 years old, after the kid held their society debut. However, there seemed to be an exception made since this year.
"Yeah. The minimum age is now 5 years old. As long as you have awakened your ability by then and passed the test, you can get in." Raphael nodded.
Actually, it was extremely rare for someone below 10 to awaken their abilities.
However, this generation had many prodigies, and that's why the academy let the prodigies enroll in advance to groom them earlier.
"But don't force yourself to enrol early. I heard that the Walter Family's heir had awakened his abilities when he was 6, but he didn't plan to enrol anytime soon."
Raphael recalled the rumour he heard at the society, and they said Finley Walter wouldn't enrol early and would stay in his territory to learn territory management from his dad.
"I heard that the test is extremely difficult. There can be death threats inside. Thus, I advise you to prepare well and try to enrol 2 to 3 years later."
Blair could enter the Academy after she's 7 or 8 years old. It would be safer that way.
"Hum. I'll prepare well, big brother. Thank you."
Blair also thought that she's not ready to get into the Elton International Academy yet. Thus, while she's grounded, she will work hard to improve!
Blair wanted to follow in Lael's footsteps. The boy already got into the Elton International Academy 3 years ago when he had just turned 10 years old.
This year, Asael would try to enrol too, and it seemed like he could do it as well.
Raphael had just graduated from the academy and didn't plan to go to a higher level academy since that was usually for the scholars and academicians.
The young man immediately went back to his family after his graduation and started to manage the family.
Blair was the only one that had nothing to do because she's only 5.
She got tutors at home and an early special ability training, but she also wished to go out and follow in her brothers' footsteps.
"Don't worry, brother. Blair will make sure to enter the Academy just like big bro Lael, Asael and big bro Raphael!"
Blair's face brightened. She no longer looked as gloomy as before.
When Raphael saw this, he secretly sighed in relief.
"Good. Study well. For now, I have to go. I have things to do. Be a good girl and behave, okay?" Raphael rubbed Blair's head once more before turning around to leave.
This time, Blair didn't stop Raphael. She just waved her hand. The kid waited until Raphael was gone before running to her bed and threw herself onto it.
Brugh.
"Huf...big bro is finally gone…" Blair sighed in relief as she wiped her forehead.
Talking with Raphael had always been nerve-wracking because the guy didn't seem to have a soft heart for girls and also didn't look that impartial.
It's hard to behave in front of Raphael so that he would like her.
"The academy enrollment, huh…." Blair softly murmured as she recalled Raphael's instruction.
Big bro Raphael looked furious when he came into the room. It must be because of the war incident...but he looked relaxed and hopeful when he spoke about the academy…
Blair fiddled with her hair, deep in thought.
I have disappointed Brother Raphael and probably dad too. If I want to regain their recognition, I better successfully enter the Academy before I turn 10.
I...can't disappoint them further...or they will not love me anymore.
