by fnovelpia“Why did you come out alone?”
A night in which commemoration is still in full swing.
The forest outside the training camp.
I faced Rauf.
The jade-colored liquor bottle in his hand seemed to be crying desperately.
“Didn’t you go in confidently?”
He seemed very disappointed in me, perhaps because he had promised to kidnap Croshell alone and returned empty-handed.
But it’s okay.
Although there is a hint of resentment, it is very easy to persuade this guy.
“It was for your daughter.”
“… … … I see.”
Just mention Ronica and you’re done.
Of course, the reason was also provided.
“If we take him out now, Ronica’s favorite training center will be ruined. So, at the earliest, tomorrow, when the royal investigation team takes Croshell away, we will kidnap him.”
“Are you putting it off for a while? It’s unfortunate if that’s the case, but I’ll bear with it.”
“Okay. Don’t worry about getting caught spying on Ronica.”
“Hardly anyone here will notice me.”
“Is that true too? There’s no need to worry. I’ve finished my business, so I’ll come back tomorrow.”
“I understand.”
“Okay then.”
Swish~
After turning around and jumping over the fence, turning into a baby phantom beast, he approached the disciple who was at the memorial service as if nothing had happened and slowly climbed onto his shoulder.
“Hee hee. You’re already here?”
The guy greeted me with a hearty smile.
Soon after, the candles began to blow out one by one, and the memorial service came to an end.
Afterwards, return to your accommodation.
We fell asleep together.
*
The day after the memorial service.
Accommodation plan.
“I don’t see anything happening today either.”
“Yes. I heard that the school will be closed tomorrow after expressing its position.”
Ronica and Fiona woke up leisurely.
This is because today’s schedule has all been cancelled.
Tomorrow too.
Even the day after tomorrow.
Even after three days.
There is no schedule.
This situation will continue until the warlock incident is resolved.
No, they said school would be closed, so everyone will be leaving here soon.
The Arch Lich descended from the tower.
Even a transcendent level demon that is much more powerful than that.
Closing schools was natural.
When such a huge incident occurred, there was no way it would be easy to operate smoothly.
Instructor manpower shortage.
Comfort of a dead cadet.
Other than that, compensation to the family, capture by the royal investigation team, and opposition from various families will occur. It will take time for this to subside.
How will training centers change in the future?
Perhaps the various corruption issues at the training center may be revealed. The director of the training center also seemed determined to change the training center.
But it won’t be easy.
The ability of the training center director to be weak in judgment and politics.
A central aristocrat who holds on to power and exerts pressure.
Quite a few instructors stuck with them.
Whatever happens, your ankle will be caught.
On the other hand, there are only a small number of people, about 10%, including Chalosi, who join the training center. It will be better than before, but it is difficult to expect a big change.
… If this body didn’t exist.
‘How can I help you?’ .’
Yesterday, while kidnapping Croshell, I ran into the head of the training center and set a goal.
Normalization of training centers.
Corruption is rampant at the training center.
First we need to fix this.
Originally, I thought that an environment where corruption was rampant was not a bad thing, but the Croshell incident made me change my mind a little.
There is nothing good about allowing the worst villains like Croshell to grow up.
Quite a lot of corruption.
An instructor who never knows when he might fall.
A cadet like the light moon who is colored by that.
This dirty environment will not be of much help to the disciple.
Instead of giving me growth experience, it’s just annoying.
Therefore, as long as the training center director does not give up, I will gladly extend my hand.
“Then where will Fiona go when school is closed?”
“I… mountain. alp. I plan to stay where Master is conducting research. What about Ronika?”
“Maybe~ I’ll go back to Venus.”
“Venus?”
“It’s like my home. There are a lot of people waiting for me there.”
I took a moment to watch the conversation between the student and Fiona.
I’ve made plans to help the training center director, but there’s no need to move right away.
It would be appropriate after the royal investigation team visits.
Even if I can’t, I’ll have to wait until lunch.
So, I laid down by the window with my arms crossed.
The warm sun makes me feel tired.
I closed my eyes and listened to the story.
“Fiona, come visit sometime! I’ll treat you big.”
“I want to go!!”
“And… Hi-Hi. You can join Venus. Venus is an information organization, and there is nothing wrong with joining. There are no restrictions and you can only be active when you want to… … .”
Every word, every word.
Ronica attempted to recruit Fiona.
I guess someone is Venus Boss. The sales spirit is quite clear.
There’s nothing bad about each other either.
“Can you earn pocket money by sending information to Venus? Is even trivial information possible?”
“Depending on importance, but possible as long as they do not overlap. Interesting rumors are also possible. You can think of it as a side job.”
“Affirmative!! I am very short of money. Master, you’re a beggar!”
“Beggar to your teacher?… .”
“B. Venus sign up required!”
“Hee hee. Then Fiona is also my subordinate now.”
“… Subordinate?”
“Kyahaha!~ It’s a joke. Our organization does not force informants to do anything.”
“Ronika. Is Ronica the boss of Venus?”
“Ahem~ Call me Chairman.”
“Chairman Ronica. Chairman Ronica… Amazing!!”
“Ehehe~ Good to hear.”
It’s a peaceful conversation.
Since I am always receiving education and training, it feels strange to have small talk like that.
okay… My student was originally a talkative person.
For some reason, I listen in a daze.
It makes me smile.
Sometimes a break like this isn’t bad.
I guess I should take a little break too… .
“Cologne~”
If you fall asleep like that.
Soon I feel a warm hand.
“Shhh!… The black guy sleeps.”
“… Yes!”
I take off the pillow cover from the blanket, turn it over, fold it, and place it on top of me.
I carefully lifted it and moved it to the bed.
It’s full of warmth.
I fell into a dream.
*
Blue fairy.
She sat on the ice throne.
“Are you okay? He looks unwell somewhere.”
Spirit King Atrot glanced down.
A superior ice spirit in human form is looking at you with concern.
But is that worry unreasonable?
Atrot’s face was slightly wrinkled.
[Never mind. There was something to work on for a moment.]
Familiar atmosphere.
A familiar voice.
Familiar scenery.
‘It’s been a long time since I had this dream.’
A dream about Artrot
No, is it really a dream?
At this point, it’s hard to deny it.
I eventually realize that this is not a dream but reality.
If you think about it, he lent me his strength.
A power that was quite helpful when killing demons.
The highest level of freezing power.
I’m curious.
What is this guy thinking?
Why did you lend me that kind of power?
So, if this is stealing from reality… .
Sze-
I watched more closely.
I was curious about this guy’s thoughts.
Strangely enough, the girl who used to be the size of a finger now has the height of an ordinary human girl.
Similar size to Ronica.
This one also seemed to be able to adjust its size.
Sze-
Atrot, the lord of the Ice Mountain and now the Ice Spirit King, put his subordinates behind him, crossed his legs with a bored look on his face, and rested his chin on the ice throne.
Strangely enough, the guy feels weak.
boredom.
Boring.
and… Even loneliness.
This guy has been showing low tension ever since the land spirit he took care of died.
In other words, it is still changing.
How will things change over time if we let go?
[…] hey. Are you watching?]
… … What is it?
I felt like I made eye contact with this guy.
No, we definitely encountered it.
The guy is looking straight at me.
Can you feel me?
[I think it’s there… You mean thing. It must be you. Did you receive my help well? Because of you, I am dying of exhaustion while recovering my strength.]
This is clearly said to me.
She smiled coldly and continued.
[You may have seen me in your dreams sometimes. And I too have been watching you for a long time. however… You are listening to me right now, right? I definitely feel it… I can’t tell because I can’t see it.]
You watched it?… .
okay.
Why didn’t I think of it?
If I can look into this guy, then this guy can look into me too.
Were we watching each other?
[Anyway, I thought for a long time about how to kill you… I’m not sure yet. So don’t get killed by anyone other than me.]
Don’t let others kill you… .
That’s a strange sound.
Could it be that that was the only reason he lent his strength when slaying the devil?
No, there are definitely other reasons.
However, he hides his emotions and thoughts so well that they cannot be easily read. Maybe he was a god for no reason, but he also has an outstanding poker face.
[So… He was taking care of a little boy.]
… … … .
Ronica’s face passes by.
Is this a threat?
[Oh my. I feel alive. That kid is your weakness.]
Don’t touch it.
I glared at him with that feeling.
[Don’t worry. Because I don’t feel like it either. Actually, at first I was thinking of getting revenge by killing that kid, but… I don’t want to do that now.]
Artrot showed off his queenly side by tapping his middle finger on Okja’s armrest.
weird.
I don’t feel like it.
Why?
I wouldn’t fight over something like that in the tower.
Art Lot.
It has also changed.
Something has changed in that guy.
The cold-blooded monarch who seemed merciless was feeling skeptical about something.
[So, I will think about it more. How should I kill you painfully?]
Honestly, I didn’t think much of this guy.
I thought we would never meet again.
But for some reason, he connected with me through my dreams and is capable of interfering a little.
in other words.
An enemy to prepare for has appeared.
The motivation to become stronger appeared.
I wanted to live comfortably this life… It’s going to be even more difficult this way.
Because this guy is different from the others.
Godhood is not something that anyone can attain.
A person with great power who can achieve the impossible like a miracle.
For example, Atrot can create ice mountains.
You can freeze everything.
Ice that has not melted.
Burning ice.
Living ice.
A chill that even freezes the air.
It can generate power that is close to impossible.
I have to deal with people like that.
[I’ll leave this story here. I’m finally starting to feel it for you, but if I run away because I’m scared, I’ll only be in trouble.]
That won’t happen.
… I want to say that, but unfortunately my voice doesn’t come out.
It seemed like I was in an intangible state.
This place is a dream to me.
In fact, it would be like a non-existent entity.
[There’s something I want to talk to you about… First of all, you need to learn how to speak informally. I really don’t feel like talking to myself. Next time you come, cook it.]
It’s a way to speak out loud.
Surely, with that, we can have a conversation even in this intangible state.
It is easily called aspirated sound.
Much more advanced technology than the electric sound seen from the tower.
You can engrave intuitive meaning in your mind using the conversation method that Artrot is currently using.
For this to happen, we need to deal with class… .
Gyeok (格).
This is such an esoteric power.
I don’t know how to handle it either.
Rank is like the mass of all power assigned to a person’s very existence.
It is literally the power that manifests existence.
What kind of power can you generate?
Even what kind of work you have done.
It is also an existence that includes all of that.
Beings of high rank have many achievements and are generally strong. Therefore, although it is not absolute, rank often serves as a standard for strength.
The rating here is average.
godhead.
reply.
transcendence.
omnipotence.
divinity.
It is divided into five categories.
Artrot is a god.
I am a demigod.
The demon I killed was transcendent level.
Arch Lich… I was struck with a divine star.
If we had to evaluate Rauf, he could be considered just below god star.
So it’s difficult.
Because there is no one who can teach you how to use case, let alone how to use it.
In my past life, there was no need to deal with cases, but now I feel the need.
If you raise the level and release it, it can cause a huge blow to the psyche of an ordinary person and knock them down, and you can communicate with anyone you want in silence.
It was because of this aspirated sound that Atrot spoke without any form.
So, I wish I could learn this too… .
[By the way, you don’t even know how to handle formality. Well, it’s a mean thing. However, I am willing to teach you especially if you kneel down and pray.]
It is an absolute refusal.
I have no intention of learning from this guy.
[You can hear it even without saying it. It would be a rejection. done. Go now. Because facing you like this is quite annoying.]
Hehe hehe~
The guy waved his hand.
Of course, I’m not the one to go just because I’m told to.
I just observed the guy.
[…] … … Are you going to keep watching me?]
He is currently the biggest threat to me. So, I plan to observe it properly.
[Something mean… How dare you keep spying on me? It is extremely impure!!]
There is no use in getting angry.
Because you can’t attack me when I have no form.
I stared indifferently.
[You foolish and mean thing!! Get out now!! This means that you are not someone who would dare to steal!!]
The way he runs wild is quite childish.
Just because someone is a god, doesn’t mean they are full of dignity.
[profit!!… A mean thing. Why don’t you hurry up and go!! If you don’t go right away, I’ll harass your little bastard.]
this.
Is this a petty threat?
I can’t ignore this.
There would be no benefit from further stimulation.
So, close your eyes-
No, I escaped like I was falling away from the world.
“… Sniff.”
That’s how I woke up from my dream.
Quiet room.
Ronica is taking a nap next to her.
Tiring!!
◎︎ Soul fusion has progressed to a certain level.
◎︎ Regression side effects are alleviated.
◎︎ You have gained access to your previous life. Acquire the ‘Reincarnation’ skill.
◎︎ Fuse mixed souls to enjoy full return perks.
“What?”
My eyes suddenly opened wide.
A sudden soul fusion.
Is it related to regression?
More than that, why did I meet and talk with Artrot and get a message about regression… .
Ah, that’s stupid.
If you think about it, it’s obvious.
At the time of my regression, I had no regrets about life, so I had no business knowing whether it was regression or reincarnation or anything else. I thought it was enough to just live freely.
So I wasn’t thinking about it. If you think about it for just a moment, you will find the answer.
Art Lot.
This guy brought me back.
I found out the reason through a dream I just had.
He wanted revenge on me. It seems like my self-destructor took a big hit.
The question is, what is soul fusion? .
What happened when I died?
Did his soul and mine merge for some reason?
Really soul fusion?
But I don’t feel much.
It’s all just a dream.
We are different both personality-wise and physically.
This is a fact that will not change in the future, and we will never merge.
Maybe the soul vessel was a little mixed up. Like I gave Ronika a little bit of her soul.
The soul is also material.
Some wounds heal on their own.
Probably not a big problem… .
It seems that soul fusion progressed quickly after meeting Atrot.
In other words, I quickly absorbed some of the Atrot soul that might be inside my body.
If this guess is true… .
It’s an unexpected income.
Through soul fusion, I can awaken some of the power of return.
Additionally, by absorbing Atrot’s high rank into your soul, your rank may increase, and perhaps you may even discover freezing abilities.
Although I can only imagine it now.
Maybe in the future… .
We may be using each other’s strength.
‘… It would be good for me.’
Because I have more to gain than that guy.
If I can, I will use all your power.
But first… .
Let’s check out the newly acquired skills.
