179. It’s just like that
“Hmm…”
A buzzing ring.
Hwang Tae-son, who put the ring on his ring finger, prostrated himself on the desk with a painful moan.
How many months has this ring been ringing?
At this point, Schluss had a suspicion that he might not have summoned the soul, but rather resurrected it.
“Han Ah-reum······ Han Ah-reum······.”
I continued to order further investigation into the name.
But every time it was empty.
A name like that was nowhere to be found among humans, beastmen or elves.
Even if I secretly followed Schluse, there wasn’t much information coming out.
As for the success, it was only that the wives and children of the Lichtenburg mansion, which he often visited, knew something.
“Should I throw away my pride…”
There was a way.
That was to make a deal with Lichtenburg.
However, there was a risk that the dignity of the imperial family would fall if the crown prince made a deal with a noble family on an equal footing because of such a trivial matter.
Still, if the demand was made unilaterally, Lichtenburg, who had a high sense of pride, might have endured by asking for a price.
‘Isn’t that a serious matter?’
If it’s information about the national savior, Schluss Heinkel, no matter how trivial it is, wouldn’t it be important?
Even because it was information about the person he had lingering feelings for, it might be useful later.
It was the moment Hwang Tae-son, who finished rationalizing, stood up with a nod of his head.
“Huh?”
He felt a strange sensation in his left hand.
No, to be precise, the sense I was supposed to feel disappeared.
Suddenly turning his head and looking down at his ring finger, Hwang Tae-son noticed that the vibration of his ring had completely disappeared.
The soul summoned by Schluss had disappeared.
“Come now…?”
A feeling of futility passed across the face of the prince.

Yulia’s condition improved at a frightening speed.
Yulia, who always seemed tired, quickly regained her energy and went out often, which she didn’t like to go out in the past.
She recovered so quickly that she wondered if her legs would get better.
‘That nightmare, it must have been a very serious disease…’
She said that when Yulia’s condition worsened, she slowly deteriorated and did not notice it.
But after her condition improved, she seemed to realize just how serious it was.
Erica felt both her dizziness and the stabbing guilt in her chest that she had almost lost her brother.
It was a strange thing.
It was the Schluss who arbitrarily possessed the souls of the dead in her brother’s body, and it was the Schluses who got rid of them.
So, even though there was nothing to be sorry about, for some reason, her heart kept getting uncomfortable.
Purrung!
“What?”
Erika looked outside at the sound of the horse neighing and was startled.
Schlus was standing in front of the front door riding a black horse.
Erica opened the door and ran out before her maids could react.
“Haaa……. That! Isn’t that the horse you used to ride in the South?”
“That’s right. I got it as a gift. I ride it sometimes so that I don’t forget my face, but I happened to pass by this place, so I stopped by.”
“·······.”
Lies.
I heard you came all the way here on purpose.
Erica tried to trick me into opening her front door.
As soon as the door opened, her words tilted her head and tried to lick her Erica.
“This guy… He can’t come to his senses when he sees a beautiful woman.”
“Beauty?!”
“If you are not a beauty, then who is a beauty?”
“·······.”
Schlus must be casual.
Erica was a little annoyed as she watched the schluss grab the horse’s reins and pass them over to her butler.
She seems to be agitated only by herself.
“Did you come to see Yulia today?”
“She stopped by on the way.”
“Oh, yes. It was.”
“Should I just look at your face for a while while I’m here?”
“Anyway. There’s probably a flower bed in the back right now.”
“Thank you.”
Page.
After playfully lifting his hand and kissing the back of his hand, Schluss grinned and headed towards the back of the mansion.
It was a natural step.
How many days have you been looking for Yulia with excuses like that…?
Schlus continued to visit Yulia after that day.
He continued to see Yulia, even though she knew that her ghost was not in him.
She’s pretty sure she’s peeking at the dead man from Yulia.
I let go of her hand, but she still couldn’t let go of her lingering feelings.
She must be considering Yulia as her substitute.
“Haa…”
From noble mtl dot com.
Although it seemed that her feelings could be understood a little, Erika felt pity.
For some reason, I felt like I was annoyed.
***
There were so many problems we faced.
The emperor’s purge was also a big problem, and I had to be wary of the ‘crisis’ that Roman warned me about.
On top of that, the tyranny of the Asylum guys who are causing terror in various parts of the empire…
But the one that threatens me the most right now is none other than-
“It was really…”
It was the final exam.
I was so preoccupied with other things that I neglected my studies.
Especially, because Ludwig’s class missed the flow once, he could not keep up with the progress at all during the lecture, and he was put in a situation where he had to review at home what he had recorded one by one.
Still, I did well in the note test or surprise test.
Since all of them overwhelmingly won first place in the midterm exams, even if they land moderately in the top ranks in the final exams, they should be able to get top marks in the first semester…
“I can’t do this.”
Anyway, I only had an ominous feeling.
Thankfully, the midterm exam came out the same as the original, but there was no law that said that until the final exam.
Since I couldn’t predict the contents, I couldn’t even come up with a trick.
In the end, for the first time in history, I was able to take the Imperial University exam only with my skills.
Between the best geniuses in the empire.
“Now it’s really just a leap…”
I had nowhere else to turn.
Raising your stats is the surest way to improve your ability to adapt.
And fortunately, I had a means to rapidly increase my stats.
[Forbidden Elixir]
[Cost: 5 Shop Coins]
[Epic item: It is out of this world and cannot be duplicated or reproduced.]
[Description: Permanently increases random stats by 10 when drunk. Not delicious.]
Although it took me a while to not be able to specify that stat, it was fine.
Because shop coins are overflowing with decay to me right now.
[Shop]
[Items can be purchased using shop coins.]
[Owned coins: 34]
Recently, I almost forgot about the existence of the store, so I had 34 coins piled up before I knew it.
The cost of the Forbidden Elixir increased by 1 each time it was purchased.
Then I could have bought a total of four.
A whopping 40 stats go up at once.
If this goes evenly in strength, stamina, and strength, I’ll be reborn as a powerhouse in the trie class at once.
‘Let’s not expect anything.’
But what about reality?
If my luck is with me, things like computing power alone would happen with an absurd probability.
It will never enter the stats I want.
‘Stat window.’
[Shows stats.]
[Health: 19]
[Strength: 14]
[AGI: 12]
[Strength: 8]
[HP: 1]
[Mana Coordination: 1]
[Mana Sensitivity: 75]
[Compute Power: 48]
I turned on the stat window to check the stats before the change.
Somehow, the stats of stamina, strength, and agility seem to have increased. Is it because of my mood?
I couldn’t remember what it was like the last time I saw it, so it was hard to be sure.
[You have purchased 4 Forbidden Elixir.]
First of all, 4 elixirs were fired right away.
Then, four vials appeared shining in the air and landed on the floor of the training room.
As soon as I saw the color of the bottle, I suddenly felt sick to my stomach.
My body remembered that disgusting taste.
“Ooh!”
There was no time to hesitate.
I opened the bottle right away and poured the entire bottle’s worth into my stomach.
It felt like my stomach was suddenly contracting and my internal organs were twisting, but I couldn’t stop.
Because I knew for sure that I wouldn’t be able to eat it all if I stopped here.
Without stopping along the way, I dumped all four bottles into my stomach.
“Ugh…
In terms of quantity, it was like drinking 1.5 Liters of bottled water at once, but strangely, I didn’t feel full.
Is it something that breaks down inside the body as soon as you drink it?
However, the disgusting taste did not disappear in my mouth and continued to linger.
After hitting four bottles at a time, my tongue was completely paralyzed and tingled.
Still, you need to check what to check.
‘Stat window.’
[Shows stats.]
[Health: 19]
[Strength: 14]
[AGI: 12]
[Strength: 8]
[HP: 1]
[Mana Coordination: 41]
[Mana Sensitivity: 75]
[Compute Power: 48]
What is it?
Stamina, strength, agility, strength, and magical power are all the same?
What has changed?
“Ah. Seriously, don’t be a jerk, please…”
I hope I saw it wrong.
I really prayed earnestly.
But no matter how many times I called up the stat window, the result was the same.
[Mana Coordination: 41]
All of the 40 stats went into the mana response.
41, A stat four times that of a normal person.
It means that they can convert mana into magical power or magical energy, or vice versa, four times more freely than ordinary people.
If it was like before, I would have been overjoyed.
Because it is a morale stat that can convert all the magic energy emitted by Schlus’ internal circuit into magic.
But that wasn’t necessarily the case now.
After all, all the magic energy generated by the internal circuit can be channeled into the barfe.
“It’s just like that…”
So, in fact, the meaningless stats went up.
I’d rather have the ability to deploy magic that no other demon can match if the calculation power goes up here.
I was very resentful of my luck.
