Chapter 64: Finally Academy(1)
Yumeria was liked by almost everyone in the family, though at first, many thought Leon had acquired her as a sex slave. His mother even gave him a stern scolding, accusing him of inappropriate behavior. However, when Leon explained the true reasons for her presence, the family calmed down a little. Even so, his mother remained cautious. Yumeria fit her husband's tastes far too well. Although Barkus was a faithful man, his fondness for women with curvaceous figures, especially round hips, was no secret.
Yumeria's hips, for that matter, even surpassed those of Lucce, which often caused the mother to look at the elf suspiciously. However, spending time together in conversations and household chores gradually changed her perspective. Within a few days, Yumeria became a good friend to Lucce. She grew to trust the elf and decided to protect her from any potential troubles. As a preventive measure, she sternly warned Leon—whose behavior occasionally resembled that of a flirt—not to lay a hand on her.
Yumeria was especially adored by Colin. Her plant magic skills amazed the boy, and the elf often entertained him with small, wondrous shows. Green sprouts, blooming flowers, and dancing leaves—all of it fascinated young Colin and brought him closer to Yumeria.
Other family members treated Yumeria either neutrally or with favor. She didn't provoke any hostility and even began to gradually integrate into their daily life.
Thus, a few days passed in peace and relative harmony.

At the same time, in the capital, Leon could be found at the Academy of Magic. He stood in the middle of the square, raising one fist triumphantly, a proud smile on his face.
"At last, I'm here!" he declared, clearly proud of his achievement.
But no one around paid any attention to Leon's words—everyone was busy with their own affairs. The Academy, teeming with students, buzzed like a beehive. Loud voices, shouts, and constant arguments filled the air. Leon tried to keep up his good mood, but it didn't last long.
