From the time I can remember, I knew what an āAkinistā was like from the people around me.
Everyone is afraid of me who is yet to humanize.
Even those who came to see my parents are afraid of us Akinists.
āCongratulations on the birth of the long-awaited child.ā
āThis has increased the number of Akinists.ā
Theyād smile even though theyāre scared.
(If youāre so scared, you shouldnāt have comeā¦)
Every time thereās a visitor, I thought so.
Cause theyād just have a cramped smile.
Apart from that, we had no other encounters. When I go outside and they saw me passing by, theyād even hurriedly jump awayā¦
My interest in others was declining.
Originally, I wasnāt that interested in other people, but I became completely disinterested shortly before I humanized.
āāeven with my parents.
When I grew up to a certain extent, I was making money because I was subduing monsters, and I didnāt have to rely on my parents.
When I subdued monsters before I humanized, my father was quite angry, but when I said that Iām going to become a soldier when I humanized, I donāt understand why heās still angry.
I was told that a child like me didnāt have to subdue monsters, but for me, who had decided to work as a soldier in a few years, itās like practice.
During the day, Iām less likely to stay at home and talk to my annoying parents.
I will never meet my annoying parents once I humanized.
Thatās what I thought.
āāāā
āā
I humanized and left home.
To celebrate my humanization, my parents gave me a house, butā¦I couldnāt do any housework, so I made arrangements to live in the barracks.
Only when I get promoted will I be able to leave the barracks.
Itās said that weāre only allowed to leave the barracks if I become a deputy captain or above.
I humanized myself at 17 years old.
Itās also the same year I became a soldier.
I was hoping for the Third Corps, but I was advised to join the First Corps, which I ignored.
In the end, I enlisted in the Third Corps.
Itās said to be the busiest corps.
Because I was riding my parentsā stuff and since I didnāt have that chance anymore, I immediately went to buy a Sekisva.
Since my parentsā Sekisva is already an old horse, I decided to buy a new one.
However, I heard that itās difficult to find a Sekisva that wasnāt affected by an Akinist, and when I approached, they were terrified and tried to escape.
Even when I tried to ask if there are other Sekisvas, the shop owner also ran away.
(Do I have to do this againā¦)
Just when I was thinking of going to a horse dealer in a different town, I felt something pull my clothes.
Iāve never seen anyone do that to me.
A little surprised, I turned around andāā
There was a Doniclon with dazzling silver hair.
Itās considerably larger, more powerful, and has higher endurance than Sekisvas.
I heard that itās a race that chose its master because of its high intelligence.
Iāve only seen the Doniclon race a few times.
Because itās a race that decides on its master, it wouldnāt listen to what I say even if I try to buy it.
I only had the impression of it rampaging at the horse sales floorā¦
Apparently, this Doniclon recognized me as its Lord.
Itād be more beneficial to buy this Doniclon rather than a Sekisva thatās terrified of me.
Doniclon, once they recognized a Lord, would pledge their alliance only to that person throughout their lives.
Although their number is small, Doniclons arenāt that expensive, probably because thereās little demand.
It was a good purchase.
When I took the Doniclon, whom I named āSigā, to the barracks, I told him, āIām an Akinist.ā
Itās said that an Akinistās aura is āintimidatingā and awe-inspiring.
I have good physical abilities and when I participate in the training of the Third Corps, no one could follow me.
Even in a sword battle, if I just become a little serious, Iāll win.
Then I was told to become the Captain.
ā¦itās only been a few months.
Even when I said I wasnāt interested and that I canāt get close to others, I was told that itās okay.
Whatās required from the Captain of the Third Corps is a 'strong forceā and the āpower to surviveā.
But even with that said, Iām a just humanized kid.
No one came near just because Iām an āAkinistā.
In terms of age, Iām the youngest.
āāāā
āā
Like the former Captain told me, I soon became the Third Corps Captain.
The former Captain became my Deputy Captain, saying that he would assist me.
Even when I became the Captain, thereās no dissatisfaction, probably because Iām an Akinist.
However, Iām not interested in others, so I canāt care for the members.
All the follow-up was left to the Deputy Captain.
With the Deputy Captain in between, I was able to talk more with the members.
However, I left the barracks as soon as I became the Captain.

They couldnāt stand my Akinist aura and the members would often move from room to room.
Seems like they canāt get used to an Akinistās aura.
Even the former Captain whoās now the Deputy Captain.
As for me, it should have decreased substantially once I humanizedā¦but itās incomplete.
Itās impossible to completely suppress it.
Since my parents canāt do it, thereās no way the just humanized me can do it.
ā¦itās highly possible that the reason Iām not interested in others was that I donāt want to affect them.
I donāt even know how to keep it down.
Iāve only heard my parents say that humanization can suppress it.
Thereās no other Akinist, so I canāt ask someone else.
Since I became the Captain of the Third Corps, the members have changed many times, but I basically do the same thing.
Just go out before anyone else and subdue the monsters.
If thereās a support mission, only a small number is needed to complete the mission.
When His Majesty visited another country, Iād sometimes escort him.
There are no Akinists in other countries, so theyāre either surprised or afraid upon seeing meā¦
Itās around that time that I became known as āMarihectās treasureā.
Wanting my power, the other countries waged war on Marihect.
But it doesnāt matter to me where I live.
My parents just happened to live in Marihect so I joined the Third Corps there.
His Majesty seemed to understand my nature and raised my salary.
He even tried to give me a fine sword or a first-class cook only for the Third Corps barracksā¦
However, I have already bought the sword that suits me, and Iām not interested in food. For me who felt that itās okay as long as it doesnāt taste bad, I donāt really need those.
Years and decades later, I have no object of interest.
Akinists are said to be adults at 100 years old.
ā¦no, was it 120 years old?
Many races grow into adulthood when theyāre over 100 years old, and upon reaching that age, theyād start looking for a marriage partner.
But I remained uninterested in others.
Those who approached me is only because Iām of a rare race called an Akinist.
I can see that theyāre really scared.
And they just want the title āAkinistās loverā.
Thereās no reason to like such a partner.
As expected, it didnāt last long and weād soon break up.
This repeated several times until I got tired and stopped having a lover.
I canāt be kind to the other person like a lover and I wasnāt really that interested, so I left after a few days.
I couldnāt even imagine getting married and since everyone was scared, I gave up on marriage early on.
No one is unafraid of Akinists.
My father said that I canāt get married without a mate, but even if I found one, thereās no certainty that they wouldnāt be afraid.
Even if theyāre attracted, I canāt say for sure that theyād lose their fear.
Even so, His Majesty sent me a command to leave the blood of the Akinist, even if itās half.
ā¦of course, I threw that away.
Iām not going to have a child with an unwanted partner for the sake of the country.
Iāve been thinking that way for a long time, butāāā¦
