LILVII.

Sometimes people become speechless or even scared when they encounter situations they don’t understand or experience something unexpected.

Even if it’s a good thing.

As the saying goes, if you get hit with too much money, it’s scary.

That’s me right now.

As you may know, I am currently traveling.

It is a luxurious journey that goes beyond luxury, completely different from a journey of self-reflection or ‘finding myself’ where I deliberately go through hardships or adversities like walking the pilgrim’s path.

For the first time since being selected as a candidate, he put down his weapon.

He didn’t even practice meditation to accumulate divine power, let alone training to use his divine power to the limit and then build it up again.

He was showing the height of laziness, like the wicked younger brother of a writer who is known for being lazy.

I ate three meals a day without fail, with snacks in between, for a total of five meals a day.

When I felt sleepy, I took a nap while enjoying the sun pouring down on my face across the vast ocean.

What did you do last night?

You ask again even though you know.

At night, there are adult games suitable for the night.

Anyway, he was enjoying the emptiness as if he had decided to let time pass by.

In fact, it is a large ship, but I cannot practice the spear technique where the thunderous energy swirls around here, so I am forced to enjoy the Mangjunghan.

Anyway, that’s the situation.

“Why is my divine power increasing?”

Divine power has increased.

The end of the superhuman.

So, after reaching the highest level of Grand Spear Master, the parts regarding the divine power core and divine power circuit were stagnant.

A state of stagnation that neither increases nor decreases.

But now.

I was just playing around, but my divine power had increased considerably since I left Evergreen’s mansion. When I meditated to increase it, the guys who wouldn’t move at all.

Isn’t it good that my divine power has increased even though I didn’t do anything?

Okay.

But it is dangerous because we have no idea why.

Not an expert or master level, but the very tip of the iceberg. A level where, with just one more step, one can break free of human limitations and become a superhuman.

At that level, an unexpected increase in divine power could be described as ‘dangerous’.

For a simple example, if you circulate divine power through the divine power circuit as usual, you may unknowingly experience a state of increased realm where much more divine power is transferred, putting a strain on the divine power circuit.

Also, as the total amount of divine power increased, the 1% increase there was a quantitative difference that could not be compared to the 1% increase when you were an expert or master.

“I’m going to turn around.”

If I had even a slight sense of it, I would have guessed how much stronger I could become and prepared for it… … Furthermore, it’s not that it’s bad, but I have to worry because my divine power has increased.

“Self?”

Perhaps because I was so focused on my rising divine power that I didn’t hear the clown calling me, when I raised my head at the clown’s call, she was looking down at me with a worried face.

“What’s going on?”

The clown looked down at me as I sat on the edge of the bed, pondering, and then quietly hugged me and asked me that. A soft, elastic sensation was pressing down on both of my cheeks.

What can I say in this situation?

Don’t just enjoy it.

Of course, I can’t speak because my mouth is blocked. Maybe.

After quite some time had passed and the clown had moved away from me a little, I finally opened my mouth, feeling a little regretful.

“Your divine power has increased. It’s a decent amount.”

“Huh?! Congratulations! But why is your face like that?”

“Thank you. It’s something to be happy about and congratulated on… … . I didn’t do anything. My divine power, which had been slowly increasing since I started my journey, increased considerably today. It’s almost at 5%.”

The clown is always an overly bright and energetic woman, but she was originally a quiet and serious person.

The clown who was listening to my worries right now was tapping her lips with her index finger and thinking carefully. Just like she was when she was the disciple of the Queen Dowager in the past.

“Hmm~. I have a guess. I’ll check first. What was your work like at Evergreen?”

“If you call it a routine… . It’s always the same. I wake up at dawn and meditate to accumulate divine power… … .”

My life was not only monotonous but clockwork. Even Aunt Papi would watch me move while doing something else and prepare lunch and dinner.

I usually wake up between 5 and 6 in the morning and meditate to accumulate divine power.

After that, I thoroughly do the stretching exercises that I was taught by the clown for about an hour.

Then breakfast is prepared, and after a quick shower, I eat breakfast and have a quick chat with the Arcanas, Lina, and Catherine’s family.

Practice 『Byeokhae (霹海)』 before lunch.

Have lunch, have a cup of tea, and practice sparring. Whether it’s Arcana or Superman.

And he practices the martial art 『Dan-lai (斷雷)』 included in 『Byeok-hae (霹海)』.

I finish the day with dinner and meditation. Spending quality time with the Arcana comes later.

The clown nodded while listening to my explanation,

“As expected.”

He nodded his head, showing a strong sense of understanding. But instead of explaining anything to me, he immediately said,

“Waiting here.”

He left the room like that. Like a mean host who says ‘I’ll be back in 60 seconds!’ at a crucial moment.

You might as well at least pretend to know.

And after about 600 seconds, the Arcanas came rushing into my room.

The sight of the Arcanas competing to enter my room through the narrow door made me feel as if I had done something wrong, even though I had done nothing wrong.

After a brief exchange of glances among the Arcanas,

“My lord. Wait a minute… … .”

Santa came first and raised his right hand, which had been activated by the Holy Power, to the sea of energy where my Holy Power Core was located. He focused his eyes on the Holy Power and a pure white light flowed out, sweeping over my entire body.

After a short while, the divine power surrounding Santa subsided with a long sigh,

“Did you figure it out?”

To my question, Santa nodded with a serious face.

“Yes. This is… … . my mistake, my lord.”

Then he says that it was a mistake.

“What is it?”

“No, that’s not it. Little brother Santa. It was my fault. Yeah. That’s right. I was a warrior and I didn’t take care of it.”

The one who interrupted Santa, who was about to open his mouth, was a clown speaking with an unusually serious tone.

“What is it?”

“No. Strictly speaking, this is my mistake as I have the most fights with the Master.”

Are you kidding me at this point? You even say that the punishment is your own fault. And you still won’t tell me what the problem is!

“So what is it!!”

Of course I was so curious I was going crazy!

“No. It’s my fault for designing and constructing the magic circle throughout the mansion.”

Even the witch.

Now, the Arcanas were seriously talking amongst themselves, as if they were completely ignoring me.

“What the hell! What the hell is a mistake!”

Eventually, I had no choice but to kick the bed like a tantrum-throwing child.

“Pfft!”

“Ho, hohoho!”

“Hehehehe. You’re cute, oppa.”

“Phew!”

.

.

As if they had been waiting for this, the Arcanas burst into laughter at the same time. Not knowing what others were thinking.

“Okay! I guess it’s cute. So what the heck is it?”

“It’s the same principle as how muscles become stronger and more solid through load-bearing exercise.”

“Huh?”

Even the witch’s explanation was difficult to understand.

“Master’s divine power core and divine power circuits appear to be constantly under load in Evergreen. They were always pushed to their limits, and the divine power circuits must have been under a heavy load as well.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. Just like when you do a load exercise to build or strengthen muscles, when you rest appropriately after exercise, your muscles adapt. In this process, your muscles grow and take on the desired shape.”

“Then, this?”

“Yes. The divine power core and divine power circuits, which have been used to their limit and have not had time to rest, are now receiving a reward for their hard work. Through sufficient rest.”

“… … .”

“Is it possible to say that the limit has been increased? The divine power core expands, becomes stronger, and becomes more tough as the limit increases. I needed a break for that, but Master happened to decide to go on a trip?”

“I was lucky… … ?”

“An ordinary person would have done so, but perhaps the Master knew instinctively.”

“Me?”

“Yes. The special eyes you received from Muheo and the enlightenment you gained while going up to the point of becoming a feathered immortal. These must have warned the Master. It was time to rest. Touching the subconscious.”

Today, no, not long after I started my journey, the Arcanas have been busy conspiring and teasing me, and as I ponder whether this lie is true, a ‘heh’ laugh hits my head.

“The feeling, premonition, or premonition of a Master who has become close to being a superhuman can be called a premonition. You can trust it.”

“I see. So, should I just enjoy it? The divine power that didn’t increase even after all that hardship?”

“Yes~. That’s enough.”

As if hearing the cute worries of her mischievous son, the witch nodded vigorously with a motherly smile.

“Ah! At least while you’re on the boat, just rest well.”

“Huh? Don’t do anything?”

“Yes!”

“Are there any games like seniors playing for their juniors?”

“Ah… … !”

“What do adults do for fun?”

The witches and Arcanas who had been teasing me with such arrogance looked flustered and at a loss for what to do after a long time.

But you don’t say ‘Take a break from that too!’ until the end?

Why is your face getting redder?

If the god of magic saw this, he would have scolded me, saying, “Why didn’t you ask that?”

I don’t know.

I don’t know anything.

Anyway, I don’t know.
