The morning after Sin Friday.

    After eating breakfast and returning straight to the room, I organized the information we had gathered to relay it to the 10th Warrior.

    -We’re going to train together now…

    -You’re already going in?

    Why should I turn down the precious offer to train with the kids?

    I couldn’t help but feel angry at the fact that I couldn’t play with the friend I worked so hard to make. It’s just that I couldn’t argue with him because he was the king.

    This damn king, the day I saved my daughter, you forced me into this situation.

    ‘He seemed nice, but it was all a joke.’

    Cock–cock!

    While I was expressing my feelings that would not be conveyed, Ade’s cold words rang in my ears.

    “Are you listening?”

    “…a little?”

    “You didn’t hear that.”

    “Now let’s focus.”

    There’s nothing I can do.

    I have some hot skills that I haven’t seen yet for times like this.

    [Skill) Black Magic Resistance]

    [Skill) Shadow Storage]

    [The ability values ​​of other abilities increase]

    Actually, I didn’t check it yesterday because I was tired after going to the temple, but it wouldn’t be a problem to save it for this time.

    Well, I don’t want to bother thinking about it any further, so let’s just leave it at that.

    What’s important now is why this skill was created.

    I guessed the reason why the skill suddenly appeared was probably because of that touch yesterday. No, I was sure of this.

    Thinking back to the time of Naizu, it was because of that touch yesterday.

    I don’t know why that hand suddenly grabbed me, and I don’t know why I was given that skill.

    I didn’t want to think about it either, so I decided to just throw it away.

    Anyway, it’s my skill now.

    I won’t give it back even if you ask me to, so you don’t need to worry about that.

    Now that we’ve warmed up to this extent, let’s take a look.

    I turned to the status window and looked at the detailed information about the skill.

    [Skill) Black Magic Resistance]

    [All black magic attacks are nullified (limited, opponents weaker than your own ability)]

    [Edit] The restriction is removed as the priest’s level is considered to be that of a cult leader.]

    [Skill) Black Magic Resistance]

    [All black magic attacks are neutralized]

    [Skill) Shadow Storage]

    [The basic magic among the basics of shadow magic]

    [Can store objects of a certain weight and size]

    Both skills were exactly what I needed right now.

    For whatever reason, if you have these two, you won’t have to worry about the threat and transport of heretics in the future.

    Honestly, it’s good. It’s so good that I’m anxious.

    Why did these great skills appear in front of me at such an appropriate time?

    Is this the ‘fate’ that Naiz spoke of?

    I will never fight against that fate.

    -[Kill Ammm.]

    In the first place, why do I have to fight something whose name I don’t even know and whether it’s animate or not?

    I think it’s just crazy to fight sincerely just because you heard something like that.

    If you were a righteous hero living somewhere, you might fight for me, but I tell you this over and over again, I’m not that kind of guy.

    If I could cut this thread of fate, I would do so without hesitation.

    ‘I was bragging about my skills in the future.’

    If this is the case, then it would be right to throw away the skill, right?

    But it’s the most important skill in the current situation…

    Someone gave me the answer when I was wondering about this skill.

    There was another status window running wild right next to the skill status window.

    [Asbel’s sword says why are you thinking of throwing away your innocent skills]

    [Even if you throw away Kraverk’s fangs, don’t throw away your shadow skills]

    [Asbel’s sword opens its eyes wide and glares at Kraberg]

    [Kraberg’s Fang says that shadow magic has nothing to do with fate]

    [Asbel’s sword is surprised by Kraverk’s remark]

    [Asbel’s sword, then, reveals that black magic resistance has no effect]

    .

    .

    .

    [The ‘Status Window’ forcibly closes the status window at your own will]

    ‘…what?’

    “You loser… Do you want to lose?”

    “Oh, right.”

    Ed, who had been making an angry face, suddenly let out a deep sigh and muttered to himself.

    “Ha…Why am I in the same group as you and having to go through all this trouble? Is it my fault for expecting too much?

    Is this kid really just a useless piece of human garbage?”

    I thanked Ad for being patient and not getting angry.

    If that’s the case, it would have been better if you had talked to yourself a little more quietly.

    ‘It hurts.’

    “This kind of story is over now.”

    “I’m sorry.”

    “Shut up, there’s something more important to talk about right now.”

    “What’s more important?”

    “Even though I have been given a mission, I cannot neglect the exam as it is my duty as a cadet.”

    “That’s why I keep winning without losing.”

    “Yeah, I’m winning. By myself.”

    Ad’s sharp gaze was fixed on my pupils.

    “Why aren’t you doing anything?”

    “We’ve never been in sync like other kids, so we’re just sitting there, afraid that if we try to help, we’ll be in the way.”

    In fact, even if it didn’t match, I could have just helped you out.

    I’ve seen Ad’s fighting style so many times that I’m sick of it, even though I don’t want to memorize it.

    But I didn’t want to stand out and it was annoying.

    Of course, there are other things too.

    “Aren’t you hoping I won’t help you?”

    That’s why I was able to leave everything to Ad without feeling guilty yesterday.

    “Yeah, I thought it would be better for me to handle everything myself rather than leaving it up to you yesterday, today, and tomorrow.”

    “But?”

    “The level has risen. To the point where I can no longer win on my own.”

    “…”

    “What is it?”

    “I didn’t know you’d admit it so easily.”

    “What do you think of me?”

    ‘Mad…dog?’

    If I say that, you’ll be angry.

    “I had a bad thought.”

    “No, I thought you were smart.”

    “Okay. What can I expect from a guy who won’t help me anyway…”

    ‘That’s too harsh…”

    “If it doesn’t work out, just forget about it, I’ll get help from my servant horse.”

    “I’m fine. But…you had a servant!?”

    “Yeah.”

    “But why haven’t you written it until now?”

    “A servant is not an object.”

    “…”

    ‘If you say that, what does that make me?’

    ***

    After the meeting, unlike the other kids, we didn’t have a morning game so we left the dorm right away and went to the area we hadn’t explored last time.

    Because the land is so vast, it feels like it doesn’t get any smaller even after several days.

    If the teacher or the 10 warriors see this scene, they will definitely remember us as responsible cadets.

    I don’t even know what the cadet investigating it is thinking.

    ‘Ha…I want to rest.’

    I really want to rest.

    Who would go out to investigate in the morning without resting when they know there is a match in the afternoon?

    My opinion to preserve my physical strength was ignored, and I was dragged out semi-forcibly, or rather almost forcibly, so I had no intention of investigating.

    “I don’t have much time, so I’m only going to investigate one area anyway. So don’t joke around.”

    “You’re kidding… It takes 2 hours to investigate that one area.”

    “It only takes 2 hours.”

    “…”

    How can I overcome this stubbornness?

    It’s easier to just finish it as quickly as possible and go back.

    “So where are we going to investigate today…?”

    As Logs’ footsteps stopped, Ad’s feet also stopped and he started to twitch.

    “There’s no time, come quickly…!”

    When he looked at Logs, Logs was already staring at one place with a sly smile.

    Adodo, who was curious, turned his head toward that place.

    There was the little boy I saw yesterday.

    ‘It looks like you know that bastard.’

    I remember that they didn’t seem to be on very good terms.

    Ade let out a deep sigh at the sight of Logz thinking of bullying that kid again when he had no time.

    ‘How can you take the Emperor’s orders so lightly?’

    Even if you’re a loser, shouldn’t you have at least some common sense? Or are you just a really stupid person who only studies well?

    No matter how much he abandons his job as a guardian and takes up a sword,

    He was not an unfilial son who did not follow his father’s words.

    So, it was hard for Logs, who grew up hearing his father say, “Serve the Emperor,” to live freely under the name of “Adga Mangnani.”

    Every time that happens, my thoughts don’t change.

    ‘Why did I end up in the same group as this kid?’

    There are a lot of kids more capable than this guy… Ha…

    Adun shook his head with a dry wash.

    ​Although Logs may seem weak in front of the individual strengths of the leaders, when looking at it comprehensively, his skills were better than all of the leaders combined. This was a fact that Adey knew better because he had studied him countless times in order to defeat him.

    In that respect, he was stronger than anyone else, even if he didn’t want to admit it.

    He asked himself, “Will the day ever come when I can overcome that wall?”

    The reply I got back was nothing but a slight ridicule.

    “Hey kid!! Are you stealing someone’s wallet again?”

    “… Why, why are you in this area!”

    “Can’t we stay here?”

    Logs approaches Aldro with a shameless smile.

    Aldro, who felt fear at his appearance, muttered, ““Fuck, if this is the case, there’s no point in me running away from that area.”,” and ran away from the Rogues.

    “I tried to surprise you, why did you run away?”

    “You really don’t know why?”

    Logs smiled and answered Ade’s pitiful expression.

    “Uh.”

    “Tsk, let’s move quickly.”

    ***

    “Ha…it’s finally over.”

    Lina answered Sarah’s sigh as she laid her face on the table.

    “I’m glad it’s better than yesterday.”

    “But from the quarterfinals onwards, all those eyes…ugh, I feel like I’m going to throw up already.”

    “Can I go to the semifinals?”

    “Shut up, Logs.”

    “That’s too much.”

    “Do you think you can make it to the quarterfinals? You almost lost today.”

    “You won in the end, right? It’s tomorrow’s game, so you’re going to win, right?”

    “I’m getting beat up, should I beat him up a little?”

    “Whether to lose, or instead consider the attention being focused on?”

    “Ugh…”

    It’s so great that I can keep teasing Sarah even though it doesn’t fit!?

    I didn’t think of letting my smile go down at the thought of being able to tease her tomorrow and the day after.

    “Tomorrow is already the round of 16.”

    At Kadira’s words, who had put down her spoon while eating, Robert put down his spoon and opened his mouth.

    “There are many teams that forfeit even if they win because their injuries are too severe.”

    “You have to do it even if it hurts. No one has the guts.”

    “It’s funny because you’re saying what your senior said.”

    “Ella?”

    “What the hell is that? Is the food good?”

    “Yes, it’s delicious.”

    The other kids around him nodded along.

    Ella smiled at their answers and looked at the face of the man in front of Sarah, as if signaling something.

    Ella stared into his eyes for a moment in silence. A hint of murderous intent almost came out.

    “Then enjoy your meal.”

    Fortunately, she quickly regained her composure and quickly got up and left them. A few seconds later, one of the cadets also got up.

    “Where are the logs?”

    “To the other world…”

    “Huh?”
