Glancing at the plate's more accurate instructions, Eddra had the urge to scrunched up his face. Why would he need to seek her help? He did not even want to tell his mother about him joining the army. However, if he would not do it, then he would simply reset again. Who knew how much would change if the [System] would reset again...
”... Mother,” a simple call to her made his palm sweaty, ”I do not wish to enroll in the academy.” While Eddra stared straight to his mother, waiting for her reactions, he heard a loud clank from a utensil that fell on the dish plate. Shifting his attention to the sound, he saw that it came from the direction of his second brother.
This might be what had happened 3 years ago when Eddra declined his mother without knowing the consequences of his actions, however, he did not think of it as something unusual. Considering the time when Eddra accepted to enroll in the academy, and when Everette was also asked for his attendance by their mother, there may be a possibility that Everette planned to take the chance to register himself for the army the time Eddra accepted their mother's offer.
This thought forming in his head made Eddra felt relieved that his dumb self was forced to enter the army for once...
”I wish to register for the army, Mother.” Even an image of his second brother, or even one of his brothers, setting foot on the training course and playing the part with the sparring that happened almost every day, if the knight major wishes for it to happen... Eddra could not digest such thought.
”What did I just hear, Ed?” was his mother's reply, wearing a smile on her face.
”I am joining the army.”
”... Brother,” Eddra heard Everette muttered a word.
Clenching his fist and staring down to his mother who had a confused expression drawn on her face, at last, Eddra had built up his courage to tell her, hoping he would not receive a slap or two before they could even start the celebration.
”I want to become a knight, too!” his adorable third brother butted in, not knowing that he was simply adding fuel to the fire.
As if it turned to some kind of small argument, Allie went in and cheered out, ”Then I will be the cleric!”
”What? A knight? You'll be killed immediately since you're stupid, brother Lan,” Cordell teased, ”Archers and mages are much cooler, though.”
Eddra brought a hand to his face. Peeking down, Eddra felt that at whatever time now, their mother would burst and would let them have a taste of her wrath. These siblings of his did not even know the power of their words...
”Silence.” It was not a shout nor loud, however, Eddra could feel their mother's anger dwelling inside her from the tone of her voice. ”Eddra, we shall have a long discussion about such matter later, take a seat. Firstly, let us fill our stomachs with the food our household's chef prepared for the celebration. I hope I would not hear the noises and non-important talks while we eat peacefully at the table.”
...
The celebration was the quietest household dining that ever happened throughout the years. It was remarkable that Eddra did not want to forget such an event. He made a core memory of his mother's expression while the whole children were quiet and scared to produce a single sound.
To sum things up, the dining part was hilarious, however, Eddra started to get nervous with each second knowing he would be summoned in her study room for a long talk tonight. 'It's already evening and she hasn't called me yet.'
”[Status].” He tried his best to shrugged the uneasiness and survey his [Status] and [Side Quest].

Remaining Stat Point(s): 1]
Doubting to either add a point to his single numbered [Base Stats] or simply let the [Remaining Stat Points] stay there for a while as Eddra solved the mystery of the [Base Stats]. Precisely, the second choice was the most logical thing to do since he really had no clue what most of the contents of his [Status] were.
For certain, Eddra acquired one point of it when he finished the [Side Quest]. Then surely, the number would increase once he completed the other one. Shit, these kind of thoughts were confusing and mind breaking for Eddra.
