Chapter 100: Life in Baym

It had been a month since we first arrived in the Free City of Baym. We’d generally take guild requests five out of seven days a week, undertaking what was generally considered menial labor.

Then came two days of rest, but...

“Sophia, you’re cheating!”

“Wh-What are you talking about?”

We were spending our free time learning new things. Today, we’d all come out to a ranch just outside of Baym to practice horseback riding. Aria, a rather active girl who was also formerly a noble, had some riding experience and quickly got the hang of it.

This ignited Sophia’s competitive spirit.

Sophia also had some riding experience, but she wasn’t nearly as skilled as Aria. The two of them were now competing in a horse race.

At first, it was Sophia trying to catch up to Aria who rode ahead of the group, but soon enough came Sophia’s moment when she finally overtook. That was when Aria got competitive and took her lead right back.

This repeated back and forth until, before anyone realized it, it had turned into a full-fledged race.

Initially, Aria showed her superiority, but—

“You used your Art just because you were about to lose!”

Not wanting to lose, Sophia ended up using her Art. Sophia’s Art allowed her to manipulate the weight of whatever she was touching. Simply making herself lighter was a huge boost to her horse.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Stop making baseless accusations.”

Sophia tried to play innocent, but the stiff look on her face said otherwise. Noticing the lie, Aria’s face flushed with anger and she decided to even the playing field.

“Don’t underestimate me! If I use my Art to acceler— Huh?!”

Aria’s Art allowed her to accelerate her own body and move at incredibly fast speeds, but this was completely meaningless when she was riding a horse.

Sophia chuckled. “It’s my win, Aria!”

“You cheater!”

Seeing Aria so worked up, my other comrades laughed too.

“Aria can be so clueless. Her Art only makes her faster, not the horse,” said Eva, an experienced rider who was enjoying herself, as it had been a while since she last rode a horse.

The same went for Miranda. “They’re both idiots. We should be thankful they’re realizing these things in training. That aside, Shannon—you mustn’t cling to the horse like that.”

Unlike everyone else, Miranda had to take care of a problem child that went by the name of Shannon.

Shannon was trembling, her arms wrapped around the neck of the small pony she was riding on.

“I mean, I’m scared!” she protested.

Shifting my eyes away from Shannon, I looked to Clara, who was also a first-time rider and was receiving instruction from Novem.

“Please calm down, Clara. Also, keep your back straight.”

“I can’t. I can’t! I definitely can’t! I-I-I’ll get hurt, very hurt if I fall from here.”

Yeah, it can feel surprisingly high up when you’re riding a horse. Looking down is a bit scary.

“Shouldn’t you stop poor Clara before she gets hurt?” the third head said with concern. “And what’s even the point of horseback practice when you have Porter? I feel sorry for her.
