Chapter 45 Candy
Early in the morning when everyone is asleep.
I went to the beach and stepped on the sand.
Because I had something to try.
“Menosorphos.”
It was activated with the magic circle’s range as small as possible.
I came to a secluded place away from the dormitory as much as possible in case any students noticed.
weaving
Rank – Shinwei (神位)
Hestia’s Brazier
I weave Hestia’s brazier.
Still, it was the brazier that Hestia always had by his side, so the grade was ‘Shinwi’.
Hestia is a god that does not appear often in Greek mythology. Despite being one of the 12 gods of Olympus.
All I know is that he is a god of the family. He is always by his side, guarding the flame of the brazier. As the symbol of peace-loving and benevolent God, as she said herself, a god who loves humans.
Greek mythology is like a record of events and accidents committed by the gods, so the docile Hestia rarely appears.
Whether this was applied as it is in the game ‘Ethius’, I have never heard of ‘Hestia’ in the game.
With much effort, I witnessed the hearth, the symbol of Hestia, the ‘God’s brazier’ and put it in the workshop.
It seems that it is not easy to find use immediately with a guy that is neither a weapon nor armor.
But I had something to look forward to.
“Five.”
One of the features I just discovered.
From the moment of weaving, the brazier is on fire.
Even without a medium such as charcoal, a flame was rising in the center of the furnace.
“Is this the flame that Hestia has been protecting?”
[Hestia’s Brazier]
Grade: Divinity
•Description: A brazier that Hestia always stood by. The deity of her who does not extinguish the flames resides in the furnace.
Ability Details >
– Flame of Rest: The flame inside the brazier does not go out. However, if the flame is moved to another location, the flame becomes an ordinary flame.
– Touch of the Goddess: Objects that touch the flame of the hearth will receive Hestia’s protection and their rank will rise. The higher the grade of an object, the stronger the effect. This effect lasts until the user’s mana is depleted.
First, ‘Fire of Rest’. This is the flame I see now.

No mediation required, unquenchable flame. However, when the fire of the brazier spreads, this characteristic disappears and becomes an ordinary flame.The reason the flame doesn’t go out is because of the furnace, and it’s probably because it’s not a characteristic of the flame itself.
This flame cannot arbitrarily increase or decrease the temperature. Just as the flame itself is immortal, so will its temperature remain unchanged.
It is such a flame that gives warmth to the inside of the house.
Of course, I’m not trying to do anything with the flame itself.
I am interested in ‘The Hand of the Goddess’.
“The higher the rank of an object, the better.”
As it turns out, the explanation is like this.
What to try is determined.
Weaving (織造), Heukcheon
Rank – Protagonist
Mjölnir
I broke the necklace ‘Heukryeon’ and grabbed Mjolnir.
Mjölnir was brought to the top of the furnace flame.
Then, the border of Mjölnir gradually lit up. The light gradually dispelled the darkness of the night, and soon after.
Kwang-reung-!
It thundered and trembled. I looked up at the sky. Really dry sky. Lightning struck from the dry sky and settled in Mjölnir.
I laughed.
“It’s like this too.”
I listened to Mjölnir in front of my eyes. Something like an electric current flickered around, sparking and making a sound. After a while, it was quiet again.
After the lightning subsided, Mjolnir looked the same as before, but there was a clear difference.
[Mjolnir]
Grade: Protagonist
•Description: The hammer of Thor, the god of lightning. One of the few new creatures that can completely withstand Thor’s superpowers.
Ability Details >
– Retrieval (Lock): Return to your hand wherever you are. But so far, only Thor has been able to. condition unknown.
– Thunder God grant (Open): The power of the Thunder God resides. Users can convert their mana or aura into lightning. The range and power of lightning become stronger depending on the amount given.
Lightning is Thor’s original power. The reason Thor uses Mjölnir is that Mjölnir is the right thing to withstand his power.
However, Mjölnir is a weapon that Thor has always carried.
Just as the power of the gods resided in Hestia’s brazier, Mjölnir cannot help but stain Thor’s hands.
As the rank increased due to the effect of the furnace, Mjolnir was closer to the ‘hammer of the thunder god’.
“We are almost ready.”
ruler.
Let’s go make the final preparations.
* * *
That morning.
Selena was walking around the dorm. With friends from Constell, whom I recently became close with.
Selena felt much more at ease than when she first entered Constell. I also learned to socialize with people quite a bit.
Frontier told him to stay at Bay Cape unless it was time to escort him, but if he did, he would find out she wasn’t in Constell and doubt her, so it’s inevitable that she will make friends and enjoy her school trip. It’s never something you want to do.
‘… … still.’
However, it was definitely a more enjoyable and comfortable time than when I was in Mangot. certainly.
Besides, Frontier doesn’t point out that he doesn’t go to Cape Bay while he’s in Constell.
Maybe you’re allowing it. It’s as if he understands Selena’s heart.
“Selena.”
“Ah yes.”
Selena’s thoughts were interrupted by someone’s call.
One of my friends had a fat face.
“You still use respect.”
“sorry. I am more comfortable with this.”
“Hmm, it’s okay. But Selena is Frontier’s escort?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
A friend spoke up from the vending machine in front of the hallway. Not really hiding anything, Selena nodded her head.
The facial features of the friends were concentrated in the middle. It was a sign of displeasure.
“How did he come up with the idea of having a girl his age as an escort?”
“So. Aren’t you completely perverted?”
“Selena, didn’t you do something strange?”
All the friends around Selena began to peel the frontier together.
A friend’s boss’ gossip is the most fun and the best story that doesn’t hurt each other.
Besides, being a human sloth Frontier is full of swear words.
“Strange thing… … .”
Selena had a subtle expression on her face.
In fact, Selena can neither deny nor affirm in that she tempted her to do the strange thing first.
There it was rejected again.
But Selena’s expression was understood differently by her friends.
“Are you really hurt?”
“Selena. If that’s the case, you should notify the teacher immediately. Mrs. Jane will definitely keep the secret, and there are so many more good things than escorting the Frontier.”
When the friends got serious, Selena quickly shook her head.
“Oh, no. It’s not like that. Nothing happened.”
“really?”
“Yes, really.”
whoops. Friends shot Selena with suspicion. But because it was true, Selena’s expression was honest. It’s true, so it’s a bit gloomy.
“Hey, you’re a human sloth, aren’t you? You can’t have that guts.”
“okay. If I tried to do it, would Selena kick me?”
“Ahahaha! right. You hired an escort to protect yourself, how do you deal with that escort?”
Selena rolled her eyes, not knowing what to say to the conversation of her friends.
Frontier kept her silent. It is a command to refrain from talking about his abilities or strength.
So, Selena cannot deny their words. Friends mock and look down on Frontier. But this is the sea Frontier wants.
In other words, if you want to obey Frontier’s orders, you have to agree with what your friends are saying, but Frontier is too scary to do that.
“Selena, if Frontier crosses the line, don’t hesitate to kick it in the groin.”
“No, let’s aim for the bottom line from now on. It’s nothing, right? Frontier.”
“Ah, that, that, that.”
The worst for Frontier?
Selena’s face turned pale involuntarily. Frontier’s cold gaze comes to mind.
“──Selena.”
“Hey?!”
Selena screamed when she heard a voice all too familiar.
As I forcibly turned my creaking head, I saw Frontier standing at the fork in the hallway.
Frontier raised his eyebrows and tilted his head slightly as if he was confused. I sang it normally, but it’s because Selena’s reaction was too radical.
“What’s going on?”
Frontier walked over to Selena.
Selena had fifty thousand thoughts. Did you just hear the conversation? Are you pretending not to know after listening? So is this a test? A test to check my loyalty? Can’t you act properly? Because you don’t match up with your friends?
The irony is that participating in Frontier’s ridicule is on the order of Frontier. Am I being reprimanded for not doing it properly?
“Oh, nothing, nothing.”
As Selena spoke, she glanced at her friends for help.
However, the friends who were talking behind the scenes of Frontier were avoiding their gaze and taking their eyes off them as if they had ever done it. But Selena’s eyes could see the pupil earthquake and her stiff face.
‘If that’s the case, don’t gossip! In fact, everyone is scared!’
The current Frontier has a different image from the beginning of the semester. His achievements in various tests, rumors, and recent performances undermine his title of ‘Human Sloth’.
However, since Frontier has hardly changed in appearance, its image is still there.
There is an image of a ‘human sloth’, so they ignore it emotionally or inertly, but their head is warning the students that it is dangerous.
In other words, Frontier has now become an unknown entity to the students.
“Hmm.”
Frontier also looked at the faces of the other students and snorted once. Selena saw it.
Frontier’s expression of guessing. In fact, it is a Frontier that was so neglected in Constell. You can tell just by looking at the faces of those people.
“Selena. Follow me.”
“Yes Yes?”
“I have something to tell you in my room. It won’t take a lot of time.”
Is it time for censure?
Selena swallowed her saliva involuntarily with tension.
To be honest, I’ve never really been punished by Frontier, so it’s scary for some reason.
“Or do you have anything to prepare? I’ll give you ten minutes—”
“Oh, no! I will follow you right now!”
Selena answered quickly. There’s no need to make you feel any worse.
Frontier nodded and took the lead. Frontier is not the dormitory here, so we headed straight for the entrance.
As Frontier and Selena who followed him disappeared, the rest of the students sighed in relief.
“… … Did you not hear me?”
“I don’t know. Even if you look really close, you can’t tell what he’s thinking.”
“I know.”
and silence for a while.
Someone who was hesitant opened his mouth openly.
“… … It’s a little scary.”
“I know.”
The answer came out frankly.
* * *
“Go to Mangot.”
These were the first words that Frontier said.
Selena was very nervous because she thought she was going to get scolded, but then she heard something unexpected and opened her mouth.
But soon one side of the chest became cold.
End Constell’s life. Because that’s how it sounded to her.
“… … Could you give me some time?”
“hour?”
“I have something to organize at Constell. Things I left there, school uniforms, over there, I had to say goodbye to my friends.”
Frontier looked at Selena, who was talking hard, for a moment, then her eyes narrowed. A sigh comes out of his mouth.
“You have a habit of thinking about anything that goes to the worst. Of course, it means that you are defending that much, but make your decision after understanding it accurately. Guessing is rather dangerous.”
“… … What does it mean?”
“I don’t mean to leave Constell. I have something to tell Mangot.”
“ah.”
Selena’s cheeks reddened and she bowed her head.
Indeed, I was thinking too much without realizing it.
Perhaps it was because he really liked life in Constell. I was afraid that the momentary life I didn’t want to miss would be gone.
“I have a promise to you.”
Then said Frontier.
Selena looked a little startled and looked up at Frontier again.
It could be her misunderstanding, but her tone was somewhat warm.
“I was going to send you to the family. Let your life get back on track. Getting you into Constell is the first step.”
“… … .”
“I will keep my promise. Don’t worry unnecessarily.”
“… … Yes.”
Selena shut her mouth and nodded.
For her now, that kind of affirmation was the best. I feel something in my chest suffocating.
Selena’s neck trembled. I tried to swallow something, but it didn’t go well.
“Then, what do you want to tell Mangot?”
“It’s nothing. As I told you before.”
“As I said… … ?”
“Tell me I’m not teaching you ancient languages anymore.”
Selena’s eyes widened.
Selena has been learning the ancient language so far, and she has learned the flow of learning the ancient language. And I was able to roughly estimate what Frontier said, ‘It’s a time when you shouldn’t teach more than this to ten thousand places’.
But it was sooner than she expected.
“But today I will teach you an important key to interpreting ancient languages. If you learn this, you can interpret 10% of the ancient language.”
said Frontier. 10%. From the standpoint of Mangot, this is a very valuable progress, but it is an unreasonable number to easily interpret the ancient language.
It’s such a sweet candy, but it just makes you crave the next one.
Selena’s head turned naturally rapidly. A time earlier than expected, a bait thrown at the Bay of Cape, a time when the Indus revolutionary plan approaches every minute.
Indus and Bay.

No way.Selena’s eyes widened.
“Shh.”
Knowing this first, Frontier put his finger to his mouth.
“You are right.”
