4 – This is serious
The world is really going to ruin. What will happen to me then?
I thought world destruction or conquest was bullsh*t, but it turned out to be a reality?
“Going to the tower is only possible for those who have become real heroes and have graduated. But Enlil. How did you get into the tower when you said you never graduated?”
“Nothing special. I was sneaking in.”
“… Stealthily?”
“Yes. But somehow I ended up going to the top floor. I guess I was lucky.”
The conversations that followed with Enlil were nothing short of a nightmare.

So to sum it up, one of the brave candidates sneaked into the tower.
I managed to break through all the floors and stand in front of myself, and I’ve reached it several times since then.
As it turned out, he hadn’t even graduated, and all the guys who did graduate in the meantime died.
I tried to hide my frustration and asked another question.
If you can survive in the tower, you can graduate, so why are you still a cadet?
Then Enlil answered in a voice asking for the obvious.
“All of the senior warriors who graduated went to the tower and died there honorably. Befitting the name of a hero, don’t be ashamed of that title.”
“….”
“There are only two paths for those who have graduated from the academy. Do you destroy the tower alive or die and become the tower’s vengeful spirit? I’ve never been able to do either of those things, so graduating isn’t even possible. So I keep going to the top. For me to finish, or for me to meet the end.”
At those words, Leon involuntarily made his body tremble slightly.
Aren’t these people who want an honorable death kept asking them to come back and let them live?
With Enlil’s will thoroughly excluded, only Leon himself wanted.
From her point of view, she deserves to feel humiliated.
This is a situation similar to playing with a toy.
This figure in which her own fate is swayed by an irresistible existence―
‘Damn it, it’s just like me.’
The time she had to spend being the boss monster of the tower without even knowing why.
In When Can I Go Back, now even who I am is blurred.
To think that you, being destroyed by something huge, treat someone else the same way.
“… f*ck.”
As expected, it became something I had to do with all my might.
She tells Enlil and her other students how to become stronger.
And himself by one of those warriors. It would be better if it was Enlil.
To meet the end like a boss monster and find peace for everyone.
Thump-
Returning to her quarters, Rion first checked her mana practice.
If you go to the warrior academy tomorrow, you can use mana right away.
It is one of the fragments of the past that has not been forgotten even after 100 years have passed.
I know this world well. I know how to become strong.
Because I am a player who played the ‘game’ that was the original of this world.
Although everything that exists in front of me is not a game, but reality.
It cannot be said that there is no advantage because the fundamentals do not change.
There is definitely a mana training method in the warrior academy.
But yours will be just a little bit more useful.
Information related to fostering is lined up. Undoubtedly.
‘I hope you become stronger the next time you stand in front of me. And the next time I come, I hope I can put in an effective hit. And at some point Really, at some point….’
May the sharp blade that pierces the boss monster become the holy sword that saves the world.
‘f*ck, for real. Are you kidding me?’
The day I officially became an instructor and entered the academy for the first time.
Rion sincerely wanted to overturn the entire academy, including Enlil.
The Warrior Academy. It’s a really dirty grandiose place from the name.
In the game, it’s just a place for character development, but-
In this world, in this empire, it is a place where warrior candidates prepare to save the world.
That’s why Leon thought there must be something great.
The cadets have skills and mana management skills that are differentiated from others.
Those who teach the candidates for the hero, even if they are not heroes, are strong men of the same level.
Lastly, the best training and mana technique they have….
“Mana training method… What do you mean? What is it?”
“I am hearing this for the first time. Isn’t mana just a matter of using what exists in the world?”
“I’ve been a wizard for many years, but I’ve never heard of such an idea. hahahaha.”
“Instructor. I don’t know what the world you used to be like, but it doesn’t have to be here. With so much mana, what more can I do there?”
Yes. That was why Leone wanted to overthrow the academy.
There is no mana skill. Again, you ask why you need it.
Those who use swords, and even wizards, were busy tilting their heads.
He even asked an indirect question about why he did such a stupid thing.
‘Let’s wait. Be patient yes i can understand Because this world is rich in mana. You just need to draw mana and use it. I’m trying to explain with some strange method, so understand… To do, f*ck. Damn it!’
A lot of mana! Good night. Yes i admit that
But just because you have a lot of mana doesn’t mean everything!
As a metaphor, the mana floating in the world is a kind of silver vein.
And people use silver by mining the silver vein without limit.
There are some impurities mixed in, but silver is silver anyway.
On the contrary, the monsters and the things inside the tower are a kind of ‘vampire’.
Is. In other words, they are beings that are greatly damaged by ‘pure mana’.
Whether it’s quality or quantity, it’s weak against silver, so just pouring it can cause damage.
So it seems that this world is focused on ‘quantity rather than quality’.
Since the overflow is silver, it seems that it was unnecessary to remove impurities and polish it.
‘No, f*ck. When did that method become obsolete? If you use 10 to make a 5 deal, taking the prepared 5 and making a 5 deal is more profitable! Everyone knows that quality is better than quantity….’
Ah.
One important fact came to Leon’s head, who was lamenting.
It is none other than the users who created the ‘quality over quantity’ manarons to deal with the demons.
All the characters were raised by that training method, and the attack was successful.
However. In this world, there is no user who can suggest that method.
This used to be a game, but it’s not a game anymore. The world as reality itself.
With no user intervention, there was no change or development.
Still, in this world, quantity rather than quality, just a large amount of mana is everything. Caught in the spotlight!
“Whoa….”
Live and live The boss monster has come to teach the warriors how to practice mana.

“I am so sorry, Enlil. I would like to ask for a seat as an examiner.”
We started with very trivial things.
The examiner, who had a personal situation, asked him to act as a substitute.
I didn’t want to refuse, so I said I’d understand and went ahead instead.
“Oooh!”
I didn’t know that some crazy guy would sh*t on his pants there.
Thanks to this, Enlil, who vomited, hurriedly escaped from the auditorium.
After that, when I returned to the judging room, there was a certain dark-haired man sitting there.
“What a wonderful person. It suits the instructor’s position!”
“It’s also regrettable. If you were from the Empire, the holy relic might have chosen you.”
All four judges had passed over what the hell they had done.
They weren’t warriors, but they were good at teaching.
So Enlil decided to follow their opinions without contradicting them.
Even in his own eyes, the man named Rion was different.
‘… Person who is abnormal.’
It was strange, literally. Well, to explain why. I do not know.
It may sound strange, but it really was. I don’t know, but it was strange.
It’s definitely the first time I’ve seen it. He said he came from across the sea.
Why, why does it feel so familiar?
‘I must be crazy.’
Clap clap―
After tapping his cheek a couple of times, Enlil took a light breath.
Then he swung his sword at the monster that was aiming at him in front of him.
Kwajik!― Cheaaagh!―
The gigantic demon beast splits into two pieces and falls down.
Clean operation without superfluity. Mana that doesn’t fluctuate at all. To the hands without mercy.
It can be said to be everything a hero who will save the world should have.
At the moment, the soldiers around her are chanting her name.
“Eleanor! Eleanor! Eleanor Celestine!!”
If it was in the past, I would have said it was good when I was just a candidate for the hero.
But not now. Now, I can’t be happy about this.
“Eleanor Celestine.”
A voice that neither rejoices nor mocks even after defeating himself as a hero.
From noble mtl dot com
At the same time, even a little regretful and regretful energy was reflected.
A man who was supposed to kill and get rid of himself, saved and sent down again and again.
Thanks to that, he survived while being a hero who failed to destroy the tower.
I had to dwell on the bone-crushing sense of defeat, humiliation, and shame.
And, in the end, I also had the slightest question about not harming myself.
‘Why? Why are you doing this?’
The beginning is a sense of duty as a warrior. If it was a sense of mission to save the world.
Now there is one more reason for it.
The owner of the tower. Final boss. That he would definitely defeat that existence.
And at the last minute of the end, figuring out why.
‘Absolutely. Certainly.’
In order to do that, you have to become stronger than you are now. You must become much stronger.
The man I met today, named Rion, seemed quite strong.
If you’re lucky, you might be able to learn from him how to become stronger.
The current warrior academy is like a stagnant puddle.
No matter how clean the water is, in the end a puddle is a puddle.
There is no change. If there is no change, there is nothing anymore.
That’s why outsiders who aren’t warriors are invited to take the instructor test.
100 Years. For all these long years, the tower could not be erased.
I hope this small change will help the cadets and future warriors.
‘Wait. Master of the tower. Definitely next time. Please! I will win!’
