episode_0101

The stars that shine in the night sky were led by a woman’s hand and moved to a new location.

It was a strange phenomenon that could not possibly have happened, with a star moving at the touch of a hand without knowing how far away it might be, but the woman who did it just made an annoyed face.

A strange red light appeared and disappeared between the stars moving back and forth.

However, there was still a sense of discomfort in the place where it appeared.

As it has happened many times.

“Tsk.. I guess I have to block it again..”

Eros, the frowning woman, once again moved the star and left footprints as if writing letters in the place where the red light illuminated.

I don’t even remember how many times this has happened or since when.

When the final stroke of dozens of layers of circles and letters was drawn, the footsteps of the stars began to emit light all at once.

-Ugh!

The magic circle embroidered in the sky was activated, causing waves based on the center of the circle.

All the places where there was a sense of discomfort as the wave continued to unfold were filled, and the place returned to its original state as if nothing had happened.

When Eros woke up in the sky after all problems had been overcome, he took out a round bead from his bosom.

“.. Three months to go..”

Even though the bead glowed weakly and had lost almost all of its light, as if it were broken, Eros hugged it tightly.

I haven’t figured out what it is yet.

However, I feel that it is more precious than anything else.

Even though I forgot everything else, I couldn’t forget that.

I put the bead that I had been holding for a long time back into my bosom.

When I open my eyes, my vision is blurry and I shake my head from side to side.

“Phew..”

He was breathing heavily and trembling, trying to calm himself down somehow.

After repeating the long inhale and exhale dozens of times, the tremors lessened.

I opened my eyes that had been closed for a while.

For some reason, a certain determination was engraved in Eros’ eyes along with red veins.

“.. three months..”

There are only three months left.

Before that, everything needs to be sorted out.

Everything.

***

There were some happenings, but in the end, I created a new skill.

That’s also a skill that will make up for the double chant that I can’t use.

Even if they did, most of it would be a combination of electricity and ice.

It’s not that I can’t do other things, but either ice or water is fixed.

One magic must be tied to Tesdo, but since he is a spirit of water and ice, it cannot be helped.

If possible, I would like to make other spirits as well, but the first time I made Tesdo was also a success, so I couldn’t do it even if I wanted to.

I actually tried several times but failed.

“Ugh..”

I thought it would work out, but it always gets stuck..

It’s been like this ever since I came to this world.

I wouldn’t say it once or twice, but how many times is it now?

“Fuck you.”

With a short shout, I sat up from my lying position and looked around.

Green crystals were sitting on the grass, which was longer than when I first came.

It was originally longer, but once the forest was plowed, its size was reduced.

As I ran my hand across the grass, the crystals on top flew into the air.

The blue crystals flying in the sky were created by combining water and ice magic.

I made a new one, but I’m worried because I don’t have a place to use it.

I’m still activating it just because it looks good and to increase my skill level.

-Chiiing.

I grabbed the flying crystal with my hand and squeezed it tightly, but it broke apart without strength.

Water that felt a little cold flowed down my hand, and before it hit the ground, it turned into mana and disappeared.

As he did that a few more times, Professor Zan, who had been watching from afar, approached him.

“Okay, break time is over. Let’s start again.”

“Yes.”

That day, Professor Zhan thought I had discovered the double chant and was happy in his own way.

After that, he revealed that it was only possible with Tesdo, but he was even more delighted that it was good.

-“There is a lot to think about in multiple chanting, so it is easy to miss other things while doing it. It would be different if two people could do multiple chants like this.”

It uses two magics, but only requires concentration to use one magic.

I don’t know how convenient it is because I haven’t used double chanting yet, but I was able to roughly guess how much it was by looking at the envy of Professor Zhan.

Since then, Tesdo has been summoned at all times, except when sleeping or when meeting with others.

This was because the teacher said that in the case of spirits, they become stronger faster when summoned than when reverse summoned.

I think Tesdo has achieved a lot of growth, both externally and internally, but this level is still not enough.

– Swish!

He violently shook his head left and right and slapped both cheeks loudly to come to his senses.

I tried to use magic while my cheek was slightly stinging from hitting it too hard.

“Wait! I’m going to do something different starting today.”

“.. Yes?”

I dispersed the collected mana and looked down at Professor Zan.

Originally, he was of similar height, but after vacation, he grew a bit taller than Professor Jan in his human form.

But Professor Zhan didn’t really care.

What’s more important is that they say they’re going to do something different starting today.

If it’s something else… are you talking about actual combat?

“Since then, I have created several skills, so now let’s improve my proficiency through practical use.”

“But there are still many skills that can be created.”

“Then do that on your own time, after training. Quantity is important, but quality is also important.”

I nodded to Professor Jan, who was giving instructions with his index finger raised as if he were explaining the precautions, and prepared to spar.

He extends his right hand towards Professor Zan and tries to collect mana again.

“Wait a minute!”

“.. What else.”

When he was stopped once again, he waved his hand away and scattered his mana.

I felt a little annoyed when I broke the flow of my own words, but I didn’t bother to show it.

Professor Zan responded by swinging his arm and creating a gate.

“Now, please go in.”

“.. Yes?”

Professor Zan grinned as he looked at me, dumbfounded by the sudden appearance of the gate.

“I told you so. They say it’s practical.”

As I followed Professor Jan through the gate without saying those words, a large cave appeared in front of me.

A large cave with a huge amount of magical energy gushing out.

“This is…”

“It’s an acquaintance’s house. My last visit was probably about a thousand years ago.”

“.. Is that really an acquaintance?”

“An acquaintance.. maybe?”

Professor Zan, smiling like a mischievous man, entered the cave.

***

A cave that looks ominous at first glance, so much so that even demon lords wouldn’t enter it.

No matter how many times I looked at it, it seemed like I shouldn’t go in, but Professor Zan had already gone in and I couldn’t stay alone, so I followed him.

The dark cave became narrower as we went, and eventually it became so narrow that only one person could pass through.

“How much more should I go in?”

“Not much time left.”

If it gets narrower than this, I don’t think I’ll be able to get through.

Fortunately, that worry ended with worry.

As you go a little further, you come across numerous bones scattered in a huge space and a large dragon bone lying in the middle.

…It looks like he’s dead..?

“…”

“Hey! wake up! Wake up!”

note…

I don’t know what to say as I see Professor Zahn kicking a large dragon bone and shouting loudly.

Moreover, when his actions were combined with Professor Jean’s small body, it seemed like he was denying his friend’s death, which felt very sad.

[.. Who woke me up..]

While I was wondering whether I should sincerely comfort her, a deep voice filled the cave.

– Coo coo coo coo coo coo!!!

The cave trembled as if there had been an earthquake, and broken stones fell from the ceiling.

It was fortunate that I quickly blocked the falling stone with ice magic, otherwise it would have been so large that it would have formed a lump.

When the number of falling stones decreased, I looked up from the ceiling and looked for Professor Jan.

And when I found Professor Jan.

Both eyes had widened to their limit.

“It’s been a while, Ripper.”

[As expected…what’s going on? Reaper of the beginning.]

The sight that caught my eye, which had expanded to its limit, was a scene of a giant dragon bone having a conversation with Professor Zan.

I thought he was dead because only his bones remained.

“Reaper from the beginning… Isn’t this bringing up something from the past too much?”

[No matter what is said, it is true and only a few thousand years have passed.]

Rather, Ripper..?

If what I know is correct, Reaper is…

[More than that, perhaps the reason I came here this time is because I need the power of the Shinigami?]

It was a word meaning messenger.

Why did you think he was dead?

‘Bone Dragon’ was one of the monsters that often appeared in fantasy novels.

Of course, this is not a novel, but it is a fantasy world.

I don’t know who first wrote the fantasy novel, but almost everything in it exists.

Starting with gods, dragons, magic, etc.

I was confident I wouldn’t be surprised anymore, but I guess I wasn’t.

“As expected, I like that you are quick to notice.”

[..I haven’t given permission yet.]

“If you wake up at my call, it’s over.”

[.. It’s still the same..]

The bone dragon called Reaper spread its wings made of bone.

The wing bones that unfolded with a clattering sound contained hundreds of skulls.

A red light appeared where the Reaper’s eyes should be, and the light turned towards Professor Zahn.

[Which of the Reaper’s powers are you trying to use?]

“Resuscitation. However, do not give your life back completely. I don’t have any tolerance for killing people yet.”

As he looked at me, I flinched at Professor Zhan’s words about killing people.

In response, Reaper let out a snort and flapped his wings once.

-Rank, clatter.

[.. I didn’t know that the original Reaper would have a disciple while I was a Reaper.]

“Disciple…”

[Wasn’t he a disciple?]

“.. No. It’s a disciple.”

The two of them were whispering something, but I couldn’t hear them.

I didn’t even bother to listen.

By the way, I heard you said you would give it a real fight.

I wouldn’t do a real fight with that Reaper even if it was Spartan-style training.

Then why come here…

-Rank, clatter.

As I was wondering, the broken bones around me began to wriggle.

I tensed my whole body at the strange phenomenon and waited until it was completely over.

The bones that were wriggling like crazy flew towards the Reaper as if they were being sucked into something.

To be exact, towards the skulls attached to the Reaper’s wings.

-Rank, rattle, rattle!!!!!

Tens of thousands of bones fit together and turned into hundreds of skeletons.

And only then did I understand why Professor Zhan had brought me here.

“Now. Now we have to practice, right?”

Professor Zhan was definitely smiling brightly, but to me he looked more evil than anything else.
