Episode 105 – What Happened?
#One
Accidents happen in an instant.
It is a common occurrence for the Shinigami to take a scythe and slit their throats when they are careless.
Such was the sight Anais saw.
I was careless.
Reaching a new level, I thought I would die just by exulting in magic.
To think that he would do his final act like that-.
“senior! Senior Manus!”
Anais’ whole body was filled with anger.
As she was about to take a step, the hand placed on her hand.
“Young lady, don’t worry.”
“Senior is eaten!”
“Look over there.”
coo-!
The giant trembled.
Something that should have been crushed on the inside was on the contrary, resisting by overcoming the huge weight class difference.
coo-!
The snake’s throat bulged out and returned to normal.
Koo–!
yet again.
Whoop-!
Once again.
Seeing the giant snake pinned down and being beaten, it must be that an unprecedented force is exerting coercion.
“… … Was it that easy?”
“If it’s the current Confucius, it’s quite possible.”
Aden laughed.
It was amazing.
He was a man who only had a handful of mana that I could feel until a month ago.
Aren’t you fighting the monster alone now?
[Keuuu-!]
The watchman let out a strange moan and tried to open his mouth.
However, the chin did not open as if something was holding it tightly.
It was like being gagged with mana.
gurrr
I heard something burning inside.
And, the body of the giant snake was wrapped in flames and turned into ashes.
As if a snake shed itself in flames, where it disappeared, Manus stood on his own two feet.
“senior! are you okay?!”
“-okay.”
Manus replied calmly.
Anais admired the momentary burst of mana.
The magic I just used… … .
“Go back. It was a lot of trouble.”
“Seniors are the ones who lead the ugly juniors… … You really worked hard.”
Took, the hand of Manus, who had approached before he knew it, was placed on Anais’ head.
It was only for a moment, but the gentle touch brought something to her eyes.
“-I just need to know.”
Why is it that I feel warmth from the words that are casually thrown as if grumbling?
Anais vaguely seemed to understand his expression.
That’s why I fell for Cale so much.
She raised her head and smiled broadly.
It was as if the thick shackles that had been dragging her down in her mind were gone.
A feeling of clear vision.
It’s a little bit, but I felt like I was standing at the eye level of adults.
‘Now I can see it vaguely.’
The subtle remnants of mana blooming in his appearance as he collects loot and searches for the transmitter.
That alone showed how high a level Manus was.
That’s right, I should aim for something bigger than the small thing in front of me.
“next… … .”
just one year.
Next year, on this date, at this time, I hoped to be able to look up from a higher place than my seniors.
It will be hard work.
Still, I wanted to run.
You have a goal to constantly pursue.
That would be a powerful driving force in living life for Anais himself.
If you are not diligent, people will be weeded out.
‘I can go to a higher place, too.’
she laughed.
That’s a very confident and brilliant smile.
It was a smile that suited the name Floys so well.

#2
The day is over today.
After distributing the magic stones, I packed some useful loot on the way.
Occasionally, bosses or powerful entities will drop ‘identified items’.
It was a function that was activated after killing Mia, and the first one came from the watchman living on the 77th floor.
Fixed Reward: Memorize Ring.
It was an artifact engraved with the ‘Memorize’ magic that appeared in many fantasy novels.
An item with insignificant effects for equipment from the 77th floor.
‘In the game, it was a magic that could be used once a day, up to 5 classes, without any risk.’
A translucent floating window.
What was written there was the same text that Manus remembered.
Only in the beginning will they save and use 3rd class or 4th class magic.
However, this memorized ring is meaningful in that it removes the period between buff and attack.
Apply a buff and consume one turn.
Endure the enemy’s attack and attack by consuming one turn.
It is an artifact that completely breaks this cycle.
“Looking back, there are endless ways to use it.”
If you save it in advance, it is a fraudulent item that can also use magic made with cadenza.
Not only did it reduce enormous mana consumption, but it was able to sprinkle a reasonably useful buff + enormous power attack magic in one turn.
It should be good enough for about a year from now.
I also had the mind to prepare for the upcoming boss fight.
‘Is the rest a draw?’
When the artifacts were lined up, there were quite a few.
It’s a situation where you don’t know if the desired option will appear or not.
I’ll have to ask Emerson for an appraisal tomorrow… … should be properly distributed.
All you have to do now is spray any equipment and later farm it to match the options.
Albion poured a handful of magic stones into his mouth and fell into a sound sleep.
With one sweep of its soft fur, its long tail waggled.
‘Shall I sleep too?’
I lay down and remembered the real important thing, not the reward.
Interference.
That’s a strong interference.
The reward was beyond imagination.
[I confirmed the powerful reward.]
[Anais’ fate changes.]
[The fate of the Floyce family changes.]
[You are one step closer to a great achievement.]
[Reward: Slight increase in mana, 30% increase in fire magic attack power]
[Reward: Added the effect of Floyce’s mindset]
[Reward: 70% reduction in the total learning time of Floyce’s attitude]
‘Thanks to that, Floyce’s mindset skill acquisition time has been reduced to 9 years… … .’
I wondered if I could get it right away with a coupon after completing the next sub-quest or finishing the DLC story.
getting stronger
A growth that could not have been possible on Earth.
It was a completely different growth rate from the sluggish, so time-consuming days.
At this rate, wouldn’t it be possible to surpass the main character, Cale, and become the strongest in the world?
The conqueror’s heart, imprinted deep inside him, quietly lifted his head.
‘no… … Too many things get messed up when I bare my teeth.’
I pressed down my ferocious heart and covered it with reason.
As if you lived on Earth.
Manus lived in an age when words killed people.
It was a very familiar thing to live while hiding one’s true feelings.
In fact, I wanted to live a life far from politics.
No matter how strong you become, there will always be people who will try to take advantage of it.
‘Should I just live quietly in my family or somewhere else when the main story is over?’
Manus closed his eyes.
As the souma dragged his body down into a dream, his consciousness gradually faded.
Even as he fell asleep, he thought about it.
I have to become strong so that no one can touch me.

Drurr-.
The door opened lightly.
Red hair fluttering, Anais entered with a haughty step.
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Just a day ago, she was messing around with a zombie-like appearance.
Her skin, which I could see now, had a sheen running through it.
The gently flowing mana added to its elegance.
How can a person change like that in one day?
“Hey- Anais.”
“huh? why?”
Pearson called her cautiously.
A cold response or a word sung at the risk of being ignored.
Contrary to expectations, what returned was bright eyes, a beautiful face, and the image of a friend Pearson remembered.
“… … What happened to you?”
“What happened? I was a bit tired yesterday.”
“Yeah-.”
“Oh, by the way, senior Manus is waiting for me in the club room after class today.”
Anais left those words and turned his head again.
Pearson nodded blankly.
Glancingly, I felt their gaze and turned my head to see Cale hurriedly turning her head forward.
Pearson let out a small sigh.
Anyway, I’m glad Anais looks healthier than before.
He whispered so that only Anais could hear.
Because it was right in front of me.
“You were worried. Talk to me next time.”
“… … .”
There was no answer.
But Pearson was able to smile.
Because his red hair was flowing and he gave an affirmative answer.
Anais nodded silently, bringing peace to Pearson’s heart.
On the other hand, Cale was suddenly overcome with anxiety when he saw Anais, who seemed to have changed.
Anais was an aristocrat, and a person with a bright personality who continued human relationships.
When walking through the academy together, it reminded me of a scene where quite a few people greeted her.
Red hair was the symbol of an influential family, itself.
‘no. Because my senior told me not to think like this.’
Rather, it may be fortunate.
You had no idea how worried I was when she came in yesterday, in a living corpse.
Where have you been?
What happened?
“Nice to meet you all. Let’s start class.”
The professor’s words pierced her ears.
He looked at Cale and Anais and said.
“Student Cale, student Anais. I applied as a candidate for student body president.”
“yes-.”
Anais answered, and Cale nodded.
A strange tension passed.
The professor looked at it and smiled happily, as if it was rather good.
Then, as an adult, he decided to say something, and he opened his mouth with a benevolent expression.
The professor recalled what had happened that morning.
The content of the story was, ‘If you compete, your friends may fall apart, so always be careful.’
＜Professor.＞
＜ Huh? no, hey… … .＞
Someone had been looking for him since morning.
I never thought that he, who was always cold and ruthless, would come and ask me for such a favor.
Oh, even though he didn’t live long, it struck me that he didn’t know anything about people.
“-So, you always keep that in mind too. Mythos Academy is a venue for competition, but it is also a place for cultivating your character.”
The two nodded without speaking.
They wanted to look at each other, but the professor could see both flinch.
So, I was able to smile naturally.
At that age, what was I like?
It was a thought that came to me from time to time when teaching students.
This first year, like the second year, is said to have gathered the best talents.
“It would be a good way to compete and get to know each other. Now, let’s look at what we will learn today.”
The professor’s calm and indifferent words struck the hearts of the two who were stiff.
You never know who is behind it.
[Starts to interfere.]
‘Someone’ who spoke to the professor.
The message that popped up in front of him represented Cale and Anais’ feelings.
