Chapter Index

    “Hehe. Shall we go around today too?”

    Smile.

    Ronica went outside with a confident smile.

    This is to find talented people to join Venus Orphanage.

    Currently, there are about 10 children living in the orphanage, half of whom were orphans with pitiful circumstances that Ronica picked up after wandering around the slums for three days.

    Those who moved into the orphanage believed and followed Ronica completely and were trained as informants as if they were brainwashed.

    At this point, I can’t help but be suspicious.

    Is it because he feels sorry for the orphan that he picks it up?

    Are you picking it up for Venus?

    … Probably both.

    Because Ronica has changed.

    “Let’s go there today!”

    “Kaaang~”

    I was bored and fell asleep on his shoulder.

    I’m sure he’ll do well, so I think I’ll leave it alone for a while.

    During a morning outing like that.

    “Did you hear that rumor?”

    “What?”

    “It looks like the Polisha village below was attacked. The whole village was destroyed?”

    “Ah. that? Didn’t it happen a few weeks ago?”

    Upright.

    While I was quietly taking a nap, the whispers of local residents tickled my ears.

    Ronica’s hometown.

    There was a rumor that the village of Polisha had been destroyed.

    Quite a long time ago.

    ‘Suddenly what… .’

    I slowly got up and looked at Ronika.

    The guy also stopped and eavesdropped on the conversation, as if he was surprised by the rumor.

    “I heard that it was the work of an undead.”

    “Undead? Isn’t it dangerous?”

    “So the subjugation team went there a few times, and all of them were cut with a single knife or something.”

    “… Is that possible?”

    “I don’t know. But strangely enough, it doesn’t attack first. He destroyed the entire village and stood alone in front of the burned house for several weeks before suddenly disappearing. I don’t know what will happen in the future.”

    A Death Knight passed through my mind.

    The black-bone Death Knight I encountered.

    It’s definitely about that guy.

    ‘Why? ‘I didn’t think he was that kind of guy.’

    It’s just a little surprising.

    It was a rational undead.

    You will realize that there is no benefit in destroying the village.

    Just being labeled as a target for subjugation in the temple makes me tired.

    It’s a very strong guy, so I don’t think it’s too much of a threat, but for some reason, I’m worried.

    A guy who was in deep agony.

    Why did you do that?

    For what reason.

    “Keu… It doesn’t matter to me anymore.”

    Ronica, slightly sullen, took another step.

    Even if I say it doesn’t matter, I’m sure it bothers me.

    That Death Knight.

    What was it really?

    There is nothing you can find out by thinking about it here and there.

    Ronica quickly shook her head and forgot about it and wandered around the slum streets.

    “Why are you lying there? Do you have nowhere to go?”

    Although it was a somewhat disturbing day, Ronica found and brought in one orphan.

    And then, like always, he smiled brightly.

    *

    “Negro. I’m ready!”

    A week after the orphanage began operating.

    The day has finally arrived.

    “Please take care of me.”

    After locking the door, Ronica sat cross-legged and took a deep breath.

    Next to him, Rowen watched carefully.

    Wow-

    I sat cross-legged on Ronika’s legs and focused on mana breathing.

    In that state, my mana flowed minutely into the gap in Ronica’s circulation circuit. Then, I could feel his mana circuit fully.

    The reason for doing this is simple.

    This is to raise Ronica to 2 stars.

    ‘It’s thin. ‘It’s a long way to clear the road.’

    Mana breathing has a great influence on talent and enlightenment.

    It seemed like Ronica would need at least one to two more years to naturally reach 3 stars.

    It would have been like that if I hadn’t been there.

    Fortunately, the minimum amount of mana was collected.

    The mana circuit has fully adapted to the body.

    If these two things are met, I can take him to the next level.

    Of course, it’s dangerous.

    If anyone saw it, they would call me crazy.

    gulp.

    Except for Rowen, who is swallowing saliva next to him.

    The reason he got to 3 stars is because he underwent a similar procedure.

    Forcing a path through the mana circuit.

    Shuyuyu-

    With the infiltrated mana, I traveled around Ronica’s circuit and drew a map in my head.

    Among them, I tapped two of the finely stretched, fluffy branches with my mana and sent a signal to Ronica.

    Shoooo-

    Ronica immediately moved her mana and concentrated it in two places with the intention of piercing it.

    It’s a cute level of control to me, but… .

    It seemed like it was enough to clear a path.

    However, it seemed like the mana was leaking somewhere else, so I held on to it so it wouldn’t be in danger.

    Although it requires sophisticated operational skills, it was simple for me.

    The process was repeated for half a day.

    Breaking a new path.

    Creating a new passage.

    Adapting to the new cycle.

    Shoot~

    Even though my eyes are closed, I feel dazzled.

    Ronica is probably emitting light all over her body right now. This is a process in which the mana beads undergo changes to adapt to the new mana circuit.

    In other words, reaching the 2-star level.

    Phew~

    I collected the mana.

    Soon, Ronica slowly opened her eyes.

    “… Ugh!~ Strange feeling. My body is so light that it feels like I’m going to fly.”

    The guy immediately got up and stretched lightly.

    Light body movements.

    Lively face.

    Fortunately, there seemed to be no rejection reaction. All I can do is break out in a cold sweat.

    ‘You followed me safely.’

    In fact, no matter how talented they are, they do not directly modify circuits like they do now. This is because they are not sure that this path will be correct.

    Each person’s path to mana is different, so no one can just create a path for you.

    The path to mana is often thought of as ‘talent’.

    In other words, if you rise to the level quickly, you are born with the path of mana.

    Also mana efficiency.

    The sophistication of mana.

    Mana recovery.

    They are all connected to the path of mana.

    However, there is a way to ignore talent and raise your level. This is the method of clearing your own path that Ronica just did.

    Instead, even the slightest misalignment can lead to degeneration, regurgitation, or disability. So, most people wait for the passage of time to open naturally.

    Even if you try, you can only connect one line at a time if you can see the path.

    In this case, it is usually expressed as enlightenment.

    It could be imaginary.

    It could be very simple.

    You may report it.

    I have experienced it all.

    At least mana handling is close to the pinnacle.

    At some point, I saw someone else’s path.

    So I told Ronica all the ways, and he trusted me without any distrust and modified the circuit.

    In fact, you can pierce it instead by possessing it, but… I hope Ronika realizes and grows on her own.

    There is a world of difference in whether or not you have experience.

    Doing everything would be blocking the way forward.

    “Congratulations! You finally reached 2 stars.”

    “Hehe. It’s all thanks to black people!! If there wasn’t a nigger, I wouldn’t have even felt mana. So thank you. My teacher, Geomdung Aang~”

    Flashing.

    The guy lifted me up.

    Softly~

    Now that I think about it, it’s the first time I’ve heard the word teacher.

    For some reason, I felt better.

    *

    Swish! Woe!!-

    Ronica sharply stabbed and cut with the wooden sword.

    Much faster than before.

    The higher the level, the more complex and flexible the path to mana becomes and greatly strengthens the body. At a higher level, even rocks can be broken with simple force.

    In other words, the current Ronica has reached a level where she can compete with the Golden Fist with her bare body.

    Because the average ability score excluding mana reached 50.

    If auras are used here, there is nothing to see.

    Shu~

    A fine amount of mana was loaded into Ronica’s wooden sword.

    It’s still so insignificant that it’s hard to tell with the naked eye, but it’s definitely an aura.

    “Hehe! I am also an Auror user now~”

    “Congratulations. If you continue practicing in the future, you will be able to make it clearer.

    Amid Rowen’s congratulations, Ronica smiled brightly and swung the sword again.

    It’s probably about feeling a little more.

    ‘I’ll focus on training harder today.’

    The physical vessel will grow bigger day by day.

    The efficiency of the circuit will further increase.

    In the end, you will hold the sword correctly.

    It’s time to teach him how to eat a herbivore or two.

    However, the problem is that it is difficult to teach with this type of body.

    Until now, it has been easy to teach physical strength and the basics, but correcting the sword requires accurate communication and the ability to demonstrate.

    Rowen has made up for her shortcomings with her talent, but Ronika is not like that.

    You will need a very detailed map.

    then… .

    Tiring!

    ◎︎ Use possession.

    This might be the fastest way.

    Pot!

    While Ronica was concentrating on training, she secretly inhabited the guy’s body.

    For reference, this is something I found out while inducing mana breathing, and after the possession skill was strengthened, Ronica did not faint for more than 4 minutes.

    Growth of mental strength.

    Reduced burden of possession.

    It will probably increase further in the future.

    ‘Hehehe… .’

    Suddenly, I can hear Ronika’s inner thoughts.

    The guy was swinging his sword and smiling brightly as if he was so happy.

    I don’t know why I suddenly smile while practicing.

    Let’s give a demonstration first.

    Whi profit!

    By taking control of her body, Ronica immediately modified the sword she was swinging.

    Each caught blow.

    It thrusts and rotates at the same time.

    Retrieve the sword diagonally and cut.

    He nimbly skipped a step and then took another stab.

    Hit and run.

    Light and agile movement.

    The so-called quick sword.

    Cut first and get out before you get cut.

    At some point, a strange wind path appeared from the handle of the sword to the tip.

    If your quick sword is weak.

    Take advantage of the wind.

    If you reach the pinnacle of this sword, you will be able to destroy a fortress with a single thrust.

    If you lack strength, cut faster and attack first, but do not allow the enemy to dodge. If it’s not enough, put a point of wind on the tip of your sword.

    숣쌈죁죁!!!

    He stretched his foot forward again and stabbed his sword.

    Then, it divided into several branches and stabbed the air as if it would crush the black opponent.

    A dusty wind blew like a whirlpool.

    It was similar to the spectral sword that Erica used before, but each sword had a sharp wind added to it.

    Hehehe.

    How are you?

    This is the first path of swordsmanship you will use in the future.

    Soon you will be screaming excitedly inside with surprised exclamation.

    ‘Hey… Joe, Joe… … .’

    huh?

    A completely different reaction than expected.

    Normally, wow!! Starting with, I don’t know anything like this! Hal was strangely quiet.

    And then.

    ‘It feels warm and good~’

    I mutter the same unknown words to myself.

    Tiring!

    ◎︎ Ronika has begun to adapt to your soul body. Solidarity and possession are further strengthened.

    What the hell… .

    Why are you doing this?

    Anyway, he is an unpredictable disciple.

    ◎︎ Releases possession.

    Wow~

    “What… .”

    When I lifted the possession, Rowen looked at me with bewildered eyes. They realized that I had possessed Ronika.

    It suddenly disappeared, and Ronica swung the sword so skillfully that you wouldn’t have noticed it.

    Cheer up.

    At the same time, Ronica smiled broadly and looked down at me with a red face.

    It’s a smile that looks pleasant.

    ‘… … What is it? That meaningful smile.’

    Instead of feeling suspicious about your body moving as it pleases, you wonder what kind of reaction this is.

    Could it be that you noticed the possession?

    “After. Do your best today too!!”

    Soon, the guy turned his head again and focused on his sword training.

    … Probably not.

    Swish.

    Hwaak-

    Great!

    The moves I did.

    It’s very clumsy, but… Still, you must have realized that this is the direction to move forward.

    “Rowen. Spar with me!”

    “Okay.”

    Afterwards, I finished the training by watching them spar and explaining the basics.

    So, when the sun went down, we had dinner.

    At night, we fell asleep together, feeling our breath.

    I woke up early in the morning and practiced again.

    In that way, similar routines were repeated.

    Looking for orphans.

    Playing with Andrew.

    Talk to organization members.

    We all train together.

    While meditating.

    I quickly fall asleep.

    When dawn comes, I practice once again. I try to do it secretly, but sometimes Ronica knows how and follows along and joins in.

    Then one time, Hysterion was following us and was caught and scolded by Ronika.

    At some point, Rowen came along, and Andrew said he was bored, so he brought Hysterion with him and we all trained together in the early morning.

    Everyone was surprised by Hysterion’s unexpectedly strong and strong performance.

    Nothing special, but not bad.

    No, happy every day.

    Two days.

    Three days.

    one week.

    one month.

    Two months.

    half a year.

    …1 year.

    About a year passed like that.
