Denial

I vaguely remember what happens after my despair earlier. My mind has been flooded with my bad memories regarding my [Dark] magic. Perhaps the only good thing was the fact that [Dark] affinity is rare in humans, so perhaps somebody was saved by my cell donation... However, I still have doubts regarding my cell was ever used at all.

I was forced to reincarnate to find that out by myself, but I doubt it. Confidentiality was the policy of this cell donor matter.

The moment I regain my senses, I realize that I am at home.

Perhaps sensing that something is wrong with me, or if it is just my bad try at hiding what's on my mind, the others who welcomed us quickly get worried over me.

And Mom—being a good mom she is—decided to not tell anything to the others and would just discuss it as a main family matter—which means the only ones who will know about my magic affinity test result are Mom, Dad, and Alt-nii.

After having a dinner—a light one for me, as I really am in no mood of eating anything... (resulting in the others scolding me as I am in my growth period... they also teased me on how I might turn out small if I don't eat much)... the discussion begins in my parents' room.

"So... the reason as to why Lyra is down right now... is indeed her magic affinity result?" Dad asked, he cannot hide his anxiety in both his tone and expression.

"What's wrong, Lyra?" Alt-nii's face shows that he has no clue at all.

Mom heaved a long sigh, and started to speak.

"Lyra has strong affinity to 5 magic elements, and the three of them are rare. We ran a second trial and the result is still the same."

Huh?!

You ran a second what?!

I didn't even remember that...

Was my shock and denial that strong?

I quickly glanced over Mom, and she replied with a bitter smile.

"Ah, as I thought, you didn't remember? You looked so unfocused at that time, Lyra. We did try to hover your hand towards the sphere and saw the result. At that time, you refused to look over at the sphere and just gave us a blank look..."

Mom's face turned wry from recalling the whole thing.

I see... So that did happen...

But, if they have run a second test on me, and that the result is still the same... That means I really have the strongest affinity to [Dark]. That is even a bad news to me, since it means my affinity is 100% fixed. My fate has been sealed.

I should have asked God to alter my magic affinity as well, if I were to know all this... God, have you really forsaken me?

Though I didn't request for any cheat, shouldn't you be merciful and give me any compensational cheat for my forced reincarnation? Like, this is what I want to alter, if I were given the option. Or, is it your so-called cheat? Then, we have a more appropriate term for it. It's curse.

My family don't seem to have any kind of prejudice against [Dark] magic... and my mom is even the Head of the Royal Magic Court, so she should not have any... bad thoughts towards any magic element, right?

"Whoa, that's awesome, right?!" Alt-nii exclaimed, "then why the long face, Lyra?"

"I may have an idea... So let me tell you all about Lyra's elements," Mom said, and she glanced over me to make sure I am ready for it.

Well... basically, sooner or later, Dad and Alt-nii will know. They are my family, after all. Hiding this kind of major thing won't do.

I replied Mom's gaze with a slight nod. Receiving my hint, she shifted her attention to Dad and Alt-nii.
