All races have their own specialties. Elves stood out more in their affinity with spirits, bows, and nature, while Dwarves excelled in mana handling of earth, fire, and metal.
Beast races differed according to the most basic form of animals, but basically they had excellent physical parts.
The Yomas, a hybrid of demons and humans, have traits related to emotions and spirits, although they are evil powers, so each has its own characteristics.
Then what about the mermaids?
“You stupid child!”
The mermaid man smiled and began to collect mana from the water that was spreading everywhere.
It would be foolish to dare to reveal it to the mermaids in the sea, and to those who received royal blood!
It was not without reason that they were called the true rulers of the sea, despite their numbers being significantly smaller than humans.
Unlike humans, who can’t go out into the ocean without a boat and can’t even catch a single marine monster properly, mermaids are the strongest race where there is water.
If only one well-trained mermaid warrior steps forward, the mediocre merchant ships will not be an enemy even if dozens of ships flock to them.
If only the ship was destroyed without coming out of the water, who would be harmed?
However, it is not that each person’s strength is weak.
‘Yes, no matter how many users you are!’
I can’t stand myself in a place like this.
The black-haired man cuts off the arrows of water that were fired several times with his sword, and the blond-haired man behind him is bounced off by something invisible.
‘It looks like he came this far because he’s confident in his skills.’
Well, unless you’re a mermaid who can move freely in the water, a normal human has no choice but to cross that vortex zone, so he’s not an ordinary human.
From noble mtl dot com.
However, on this small island, you can see the sea wherever you go, and the beach is just a few steps away.
To point a sword at the mermaids in a place like this, especially at those with royal blood.
“You’re crazy about wanting to die.”
The mermaid man stretched out his hand to Kane, a human man with black hair who rushed towards him with a tear-stained laugh.
The mana of water that instantly fell over the pale blue skin.
As he clawed the air with his hand as if he were wearing a sharp glove, the mana grains split and attacks poured down on Kane.
A mermaid is almost invincible if there is water, and the sea at the same time. No matter how severely injured he is, as long as he breathes, he can take time to recover.
There is little talent for the aura that draws the drifting mana into the body and then adjusts it to suit one’s temperament, but the mana from the outside.
In other words, the power to handle the mana of water was by far the best among all races.
He split the mana he threw with his sword, gathered the water’s mana itself, and shot the approaching man like a giant cannon, pushing Kane away.
‘It’s a narrow cave, so there’s no way to avoid it.’
It would be an easy victory if he pushed the blond human behind him out of the way and chased him down in the sea where the mana of the water was overflowing.
“Ouch!”
It’s been a while since I judged my superiority like that.
Surely, the pressure of mana filling this narrow cave was shooting like a cannon, but what was that person who broke through it and jumped out and grabbed his own throat?
“Turn it off!”
A grip that lifts one’s heavy body with one hand and tightens the neck at the same time.
The mermaid man struggled against it and attacked the hand with mana-young nails, but it didn’t even get a scratch, let alone cut it in one fell swoop.
‘lie! At that age, you’re a master, not a user?’
No matter how high the level of aura is, even if the appearance becomes younger, it is usually maintained in the 30s or 40s.
The man in front of me looks like he’s in his early 20s no matter how hard he tries.
‘Humans are so strong?’
The mermaid man’s eyes widened in astonishment. I tried to shout that it didn’t make sense, but thanks to the violently held neck, all I could hear was a rustling sound.
At the same time, a grip that gets stronger and stronger. When I lowered my eyes and looked down, those golden eyes showed no emotion.
Except for living as if he would break his neck right now.
‘Porridge, die!’
The very moment when the mermaid man convulsed in fear.
“Don’t kill me, bring me back.”
“Know.”
The tension in his fingertips, as if he were going to break his neck at any moment, was released and his breath freshened.

Anyone who has played a game that includes the concept of a race that says they care a little will know.
That’s because it’s an element that gives fun to roll with compatibility and eccentricity.
‘Beast races are compensated for strength and stamina, and fairies such as elves and fairies are compensated for mana and natural power.’
Then what about humans?
In the original work, they called themselves the most fundamental form on this continent and the race of infinite possibilities.
On average, he could not handle spirits or bows better than elves, but at the same time he could handle metal.
Although their bodies were not as strong as those of the Beast Tribe, they were able to possess mental traits at the same time as the Yoma Tribe.
If other races are more specialized in one field, humans have shallow and wide talents in many areas.
In terms of games, there are no special characteristics that break through the parameters, but it is said that the overall ability is even.
However, in any race, people with more talent can come out that surpasses the value of their own race.
‘Like Kane.’
“Turn it off.”
I opened my mouth after watching Kane lift the mermaid man who was making a foamy sound by grabbing only his neck.
“Don’t kill me, bring me back.”
“Know.”
You weren’t trying to kill him for not being able to control his power subtly, right?
Doubtful, very.
I held the codex while looking at Kane with white eyes.
In my heart, I want to quickly run to our surprised healer and ask if he’s okay.
‘I believe in the power of clichés.’
I bound the mermaids Kane had brought and pushed them into the cave.
“Bring it. You must have been very surprised, but politely.”
Like a hero, the main character has to step in.
Subtly, he created a chuck light that could replace the magic crystal embedded in the book spine of the codex, calculated the wide angle, and quietly turned it into the air. Kane’s face came out well, like a halo.
And what the inside looks like.
At the end of a narrow cave, there was originally no light, so the walls were covered with only moss and a puddle of water underneath.
And the shape that seems to be crouching in the innermost seat.
The moment I checked it, I opened my mouth involuntarily and let out a sound.
“… uh?”
* * *
“miss… Shall we heat the car up again?”
“It is done.”
Gadia sat down on a chair and read a book, swallowing the now cooled tea.
No, rather than reading a book, it was as if I was just following the shape of the letters with my eyes.
‘I never thought things would turn out like this… … .’
I can’t read the text because my head is complicated. At the sigh that spreads lightly, the lady-in-waiting from the main house flinched.
If she had spent her time at her parents’ home, she would have received not only general education, but also spiritual education. Nevertheless, it is likely that others will be able to see how uncomfortable she is in responding to Guardia’s own sighs.
“Go in and rest.”
“yes. miss… … .”
One year, no, what is one year? It wasn’t even half a year.
That Violet, Lily. And a woman called Payyan.
The time she served Guardia herself wasn’t that long, but it was probably because she had gotten used to it.
Suddenly, Guardia, who was tidying up her hair that had only been brushed, let out a rare sigh.
“Neither the foolish younger brother nor the younger brother’s subordinates.”
You only caused trouble at the academy.
Gadia, who is insensitive to other people’s affairs, has said everything to the extent that she feels it.
Should I come and ask about Violet even after knowing the rumors about her hating men?
‘Is that really Violet? Didn’t you go back to your home?’
‘Seniors. isn’t it? Please say no… … . please.’
‘You said Violet got someone’s note before she died? Who is that!’
The academy is bigger than most villages.
At that scale, there are bound to be several warehouses out there that are not being used right away.
‘miss. I think my work is over for today. Don’t be too surprised and if you want to see me, please contact the boss for a while.’
Leaving those words alone, Violet put on her clothes late at night and went out.
And on the outskirts of the academy, in a warehouse that was not being used, a fire broke out with the door locked from the outside, leaving only one casualty.
Did you say that only a few bone fragments were left due to the intense fire?
The only thing that could prove that the dead body there was Violet was an academy pass made so that it would not burn in strong fire, and a necklace that someone had given her as a gift.
Although the necklace was a low-grade artifact and melted in places, half of its shape remained.
The academy pass was also enchanted to be lost the moment someone else took it, so everyone could tell that the corpse with only part of the bone was Violet.
In terms of common sense, it was.
But how can a person act according to reason?
The evidence was clear, but those who did not believe at first denied it.
Violet couldn’t have died.
If the door was locked from the outside, someone did it to kill her, but someone would. That sweet Violet.
So it won’t be Violet.
But again and again and again.
Thanks to the order to reinvestigate anonymously from dozens of aristocrats, not just one or two, they were convinced only after the temple and academy custodians and imperial inspectors came several times.
‘If you look at the small body, it’s definitely a woman in her mid-20s. And among those who entered the academy that day, those who left the academy, and those who lived there, the only person missing was a woman named Violet.’
negative and negative. After all the anticipation of not happening again has faded.
All that remains is anger.
Anger prevailed among young nobles who were selfish, greedy and had enough power, and among the servants who did not have much but existed throughout the academy.
Who really killed Violet, why, and for what reason?
‘Thanks to that, the academy is ugly.’
To the extent that Guardia could feel it with her own skin.
At first, I couldn’t believe that Violet had infiltrated to keep Verbut in check.
not sure now
No, this is more than a check.
‘Are you planning to completely root it out?’
Inside the academy, only Guardia knew of Violet’s survival, but she did not know how she was alive without any trace of escape from the burning warehouse locked outside.
Was he really alive in the fire that all the investigators said he would never get out of alive?
Although Violet apparently said she knew it was a trap before leaving that night.
‘Am I really alive?’
It’s to the point where you’re curious about yourself, so others will do more.
And I don’t know how Violet will connect that question and anger to Verbut.
What if you do?
‘Can Verbut survive?’
Guardia shook her head as she closed the book that was no longer in sight.
