Episode 145 – Malice always squirms
#One
The league of the week is over.
Cale went out to deal with the mission that came in from outside, and naturally, the attack on the tower also stopped.
However, the 2nd and 3rd graders, including Manus, continued to attack the tower today.
Catching the watchman is all together.
For now, we decided to focus on developing each of our abilities as much as possible.
In particular, isn’t it the perfect time to farm panzers?
“Guillermo, you will be fine.”
“Is there a problem?”
rest time.
I grabbed the daemons around me and sat down on the stairs and chatted.
Nia looked at Manus, who brought a strange bundle of papers, and said.
“You don’t have Manus. Our league is in trouble because of him.”
“Is that enough?”
“San Toreo lost. I was there too.”
Santoreo.
The great family knew even Guillermo.
It was the target point for Berkeley, and it was the family of a giant dominating the North.
Santoreo, from that family, was the pinnacle of the 3rd grade eagle class.
That Santoreo lost to Manus?
nonsense.
Guillermo raised his eyes and looked at Manus, who was sitting calmly.
“Is it true?”
“If it had been head-on, I would have lost.”
“… … .”
Which mage goes head-to-head with a warrior?
Guillermo frowned and looked at Manus.
He, too, will not be able to take the attack of Santoreo properly.
He was known to have reached the level of an Auror Expert.
‘By the way, you said you won against Santoreo?’
“I’m glad I’m on the same side as that monster.”
“Whoa-.”
Guillermo didn’t really answer.
I just sigh and nod my head.
I should have realized…
It’s not just you who become stronger.
It wasn’t just him who could climb higher.
I thought I had gotten a little stronger, but there was someone who went higher.
Only then… … Wouldn’t it be just to come to play?
‘Still, you shouldn’t be impatient.’
He controlled his heart with a hard face.
If you get eaten by impatience, you will eventually collapse before long.
If you keep going up at your own pace, one day you will stand in the same place.
Still, it was a bit envy.
At the same time, I thought of my sister at home.
After the conflict with Manus, what has he been doing?
I changed my mind and what kind of training did I do to become that strong?
‘That would come naturally. and… … .’
Will I ever see the light again?
Before coming to the garden, the ziggurat was a dark labyrinth.
Will she, who belongs to the Berkeley family, be able to regain the light just like they did when they entered the garden?
Manus, how could that bastard pull her out?
“Let’s start off soon.”
“Okay, Manus, we haven’t gotten your artifact yet, so let’s get it and go down.”
Guillermo stood up without a word.
He has one thing to do.
It was to destroy the demons, pull down their masks, and absorb their power.
‘… … Did you say Trace?’
[Interference has begun.]
[The future direction of the character is determined.]
A strange message suddenly appeared in front of Manus’ eyes.
what kind of interference
Now, it seemed that just breathing was interfering with them, and the story and the world were starting to run amok here and there.
Whoa-.
Manus let out a long, thin sigh.
That’s why I had to be strong, and that’s why I couldn’t be broken by anyone.
One second, one second of time passing felt so regretful.
#2
weekend morning.
The students of Mythos Academy were able to spend a free weekend using the teleportation device.
People who go to family, people who go to nearby tourist spots, or people who go to do something special… … .
Because of this, there were not many people in the dormitory on weekends.
This time, the leisurely weekend, was the busiest time for the maid who manages the academy.
Under Aden’s orderly direction, they moved quickly and accurately.
It is a rule that maids do not make personal friendships, but who would do that in a place where people are in conflict.
“Siren.”
“Oh my, Assistant Professor.”
The issue that maids should not have s*x with academy students, professors, and teaching assistants was strictly observed.
However, there was not a single person who said anything with their acquaintance.
It was true that if a maid builds a friendship with an assistant or professor, unfair treatment is reduced.
It was absolutely impossible for a person not to have a relationship while living.

Just like when two or more people get together, words naturally flow, the maids of the academy also live in various relationships.
Siren.
She hated Manus.
How did Veronica, the previous head maid, be treated by him?
“Can we talk for a minute?”
“yes. Please be brief. The room is very empty and needs to be cleaned.”
“Sure.”
Chesthip Assistant.
He excelled in elemental science.
In particular, he received excellent grades in the interpersonal battle, and was selected by Professor Kai’Sa.
However, Siren knew an open secret.
A truly bitter and realistic secret.
It was said that teaching assistants never pick the best students.
If you go back to each family, there is a better environment and knowledge, so why do you want to be a teaching assistant?
In particular, Assistant Professor Chesthip was an example of such a case.
‘This person was also a person whose family had fallen-.’
Of course, there were many who became teaching assistants, received professorships, and headed for better places.
On a continent where professors at the academy are treated as semi-nobles, there were certainly those who received excellent treatment.
Siren was extra careful not to poke the sore spot unnecessarily.
Academy assistants were people with a status that was incompatible with maids.
She moved as cautiously as possible.
The two of them head to a place where no one comes, where there are as few people as possible.
“Siren. Do you know Manus?”
“ah… … yes i know That youngster.”
“This time, I saw him using magic. however… … That was out of the ordinary.”
“yes? What do you mean?”
Siren’s eyes shone.
Caesar Manus.
The son of a diabolical duke with no weaknesses.
The depravity he committed had gone too far.
I just had no choice but to look at him for a year.
Seeing that Manus’ evaluation had completely changed, she was dumbfounded.
People know that it is never, never rewritten.
By the way, the evaluation has changed because I’ve been wearing a mask lately?
“I used class 3 magic, but the power is like class 4… … . Isn’t that a bit strange?”
“… … Even if it’s not weird, I can make it weird.”
“Well, that’s kind of like that, I’ll have to grab the exact evidence.”
Siren nodded.
Manus.
If it wasn’t for Caesar, he wouldn’t be surprised if he was kicked out right away.
There were quite a few maids who were dissatisfied with that unfair treatment.
When the sorrow of the weak explodes, it usually changes history.
Now, it’s time to bring down the tyrant.
Assistant Chesthip held out a basket to her.
It was a lunch box that smelled delicious.
“Eat this. with close friends.”
“Ah, thank you.”
“This… … You can throw it away.”
After that, he handed me another small basket.

Judging by the rattling, it seems to be a small disease.
Siren was quite quick-witted, and immediately recognized what this was.
A puzzle that fits snugly in your head.
I seemed to know how to use them.
She smiled quietly.
It was a smile that was pure and clear, yet wriggling with the utmost malice.
“I’ll eat really well. then-.”
Shiren lowered her head and left with quick steps.
Little by little, malice was gathering to destroy the fortress.
Chesthip laughed quietly.
It must not stop at the line of damaging Caesar’s reputation.
In order to please Professor Kai’Sa, I’ll have to prepare something else.
All he could rely on was Professor Kai’Sa’s knowledge.
Anyone who tried to steal the rice bowl could never be forgiven.
#3
On weekends, Manus moved his body where he could train all day.
Magic is also magic, but I thought that strong mental strength and solid physical strength should be the foundation.
When I lifted a barbell weighing several tens of kilograms, my thighs throbbed.
Too much weight hinders growth, so he chose a painful method.
Training for a long time to the point of being drenched in sweat.
Thanks to this, he has a solid body that he never had on Earth.
“Whoa-.”
While taking a break after wiping the sweat with the towel he had brought, Manus looked at the message that suddenly popped up.
It meant that something was happening without your knowledge.
[The DLC story begins.]
[S7: Aggregation of Malice]
[Reward: Acquiring all skills registered in the skill slot]
‘… … really?’
Even when I was reading it, it was absurd.
You want me to learn all three?
There was absolutely no reason not to.
What bothers me is that I have no idea what the content is or what the goal is.
Should I find out on my own?
If you look at the story content alone, it was unsettling.
‘If it’s a story like this, it’s usually a story related to me.’
DLC stories have something in common.
It was that the events revolved around Manus.
In other words, that malice is also malice towards oneself.
I let out a sigh.
16 years without confidence.
What kind of wrong did Manus do, and how many people were harmed?
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Just thinking about it made my head hurt.
What can I do though?
Now it’s the karma you have to shoulder.
‘I’m going to have a hard time.’
16 years.
It was a long time, and a period in which many mistakes could be made.
However, over the course of many more years, I was able to correct enough.
Children’s faults were usually not great.
Did he commit a heinous act like the Chokbeop boy in Korea?
Or have you been doing more than that?
Now they must have started to rise to the surface.
‘still.’
Still, you’ll have to move on.
I already knew that there would be a lot of criticism and malice.
As Caesar, as someone who wants to save this world, there is only one thing to do.
To keep moving forward even when carrying everything.
And, to see the end of the original work that could not be reached.
After that, preparing for the time when this life is completely yours.
Even if it ends in tragedy, he must move on.
“More than that, I want a reward more.”
After a long time, the man’s true personality was revealed.
There was no one in the world who did not like a free reward.
You should know that too.
That there is no such thing as a reason.
The corner of Manus’s mouth rose quietly.
