Chapter 182
lunch the next day.
The three of us finished submitting our application for the accelerated class exam.
The exam schedule is yet to be determined.
Since the skipping test is not conducted by the school, but by the International Education Center, it will take some time for the exact schedule to come out.
“after. I’m already trembling. You only have one month left.”
Sunchan put a hand on his chest and took a deep breath.
“What are you making a fuss about already?”
“Hey, I’m going to take the skipping test, which is said to be taken only by the real elite, and I’m not nervous, then?”
The detailed test schedule was undecided, but the approximate test schedule came out. roughly 1 month later.
More precisely, it is said that the exam will be held in 28-35 days.
If there is no other schedule at the International Education Center, it will be held in 4 weeks, and if there is another schedule, it will be held in 5 weeks.
It doesn’t mean that there isn’t much time left.
“I rather find you more curious. Why are you so calm?”
Me and Adela, who are calm and weak in the world.
Sunchan glanced at us with an expression that he couldn’t understand.
“hmm. Because there’s no way you’ll fall?”
“Is there any reason to be nervous? It’s a test, and all you have to do is just do what you normally train for.”
“… … Things that don’t even look like this person. Do you have no feelings?”
Sunchan laughed and shook his head.
“And Ha-yul, you are really unlucky. He’s my friend, but I want to hit him.”
Sunchan smiled and raised his fist. A stop slightly higher. It was a gesture of wanting to hit me right away.
“Why are you not lucky? You were right.”
“… … I can’t deny what I can’t deny anymore. You are a genius of this generation.”
Sunchan let out a bitter sound and lowered his fist.
“Sorry. If you swing your fist as it is, I was thinking of increasing the training intensity a little more today.”
“… … this devilish bastard. I knew you would and desperately endured it.”
Sunchan sharpened his teeth.
“oh. our sunchan. I learned~”
“and. Seriously, it’s going to be a good night. Can’t you just give me one shot?”
“One honey chestnut? Of course not. hit one It hurts more if you hit it right here in the middle of the forehead.”
“… … If you do, are you going to increase the training intensity?”
“It could be. Maybe not.”
“Ah-oh.”
Sunchan’s lips trembled.
It’s an expression that I hate and want to die.
“after. The good me endures.”
“Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to attend today’s training?”
“… … under. Would I be patient for that reason? It’s all thinking of you. Thank you.”
He said so, but his expression was honest. He averts my eyes with a trembling expression.
Anyone could see that he was worried about training.
“ah. Did you really do something wrong? Skipping class on my subject… … . How do you last for a month… … .”
Soon-chan let out a sigh as the ground disappeared.
“Adela. Aren’t you worried?”
“What are you worried about?”
“The intensity of training.”
Soonchan asked Adela for her opinion. It seems she wants to share her worries and anxieties with someone.
“Can training intensity be a concern?”
Adela tilted her head, not knowing what she meant.
“I’m sure you’ll roll it to the limit.”
“no. That’s not what I meant… … .”
Soon-chan asked if he was worried, with the meaning of ‘Don’t you think it would be too hard?’
Adela seems to have accepted it with worry in the sense of ‘what if it’s too easy?’
“I look forward to it. I had a strong feeling that training these days was incomplete combustion as a whole. Extreme training to squeeze to the limit… … I’m already excited.”
“under. haha. ha ha ha.”
Sunchan snorted as if he was dumbfounded.
“Adela, why can’t you sympathize with me? are you a sociopath? huh?”
And then, all of a sudden, it took off.
With an expression that everything in the world is frustrating, he thumps his chest.
“Sociopaths… … . If you use it in the sense of empathy disorder, I think Sunchan is rather strange. Isn’t it natural to be expected?”
“No, this means I’m being treated as a weirdo?”
Soon-chan is extremely anxious about the training that pushes him to the limit.
And Adela, who is very, very looking forward to such training.
There was no consensus formed between the two.
Probably won’t be there in the future.
“I vote for Adela. Sociopath Sunchan seems to be you?”
“2:1. I got an answer.”
“and. This means that if there is a normal person among the abnormal people, the normal person becomes an abnormal person. It’s ridiculous.”
Soon-chan let out a laugh with an expression that he felt sorry for the world.
“ah. Things that don’t really look like this human. He only trains all his life, then becomes an archmage and throws it away… … .”
Soonchan poured out a curse, not a curse.
“Thank you so much. I hope that you too will follow us for the rest of your life, train hard together, and become the world’s third largest wizard.”
“… … Wow, you satanic bastard. Speak very badly.”
Soon-chan trembled with an expression that he hated the world.
“eww. I hate it. That I have to train the same as you all my life.”
Well, just say it like that. It wasn’t an expression of genuine dislike.
* * *
That night.
after all classes
Before we started training, we decided to have our own maintenance time.
Maintenance time is about 40 minutes.
It was quite a long time.
It’s not that Adela or Soonchan asked for maintenance time.
It was me who asked for maintenance time.
There is something I really want to ask Mimir before training.
“Mimir. I’m here.”
“hmm? did you come soon? You said you had some training today. What was canceled?”
“I put it off a bit. I have something I want to ask you.”
Mimir closed the comic book he was reading, stood up, and sat upright.
“What?”
“Something about the elixir.”
“Why the elixir?”
“hmm. Earlier, Mr. Seok-hyeon contacted me about the existence of the material and the possibility of obtaining it.”
“huh.”
“If you try to find something else, you can find it. They said that Laplace’s tears were the problem.”
The materials that I heard for the first time in my life only changed their names.
He said that he was able to find quite a few things quickly because he searched for them with a new name.
There are about two materials whose origins are still unknown. He said that if you look for this, you will be able to find it somehow.
The problem is, of course, Laplace’s Tears.
He said he couldn’t find any way to find it.
All information was cut off after the last bidding record 42 years ago.
Retrieving it is virtually impossible.
… … That was Seokhyun’s opinion.
“Unfortunately, it seems difficult to make heavenly tears. I wondered if it would be better to make another elixir.”
“Another elixir… … It’s not that there isn’t… … .”
Mimir blurted out his words with a mysterious expression.
“The rare materials used in other elixirs must be much harder to find than Laplace’s Tears, right?”
“… … Are you saying it’s harder?”
“uh. Laplace’s tears are still ‘herbs’ that can be obtained through gathering, right? But the other things are hunting materials that can be obtained through the corpses of monsters, right?”
“hunting… … That means fighting is essential.”
gathering and hunting.
It’s case by case, but usually the difficulty of hunting is much higher.
It was natural.
Hunting materials can only be obtained by subjugating monsters yourself, whereas gathering materials can only be obtained by finding them somehow.
“How strong are the monsters?”
“In this age of classification, it would be an out-of-rank endangered species, but… … .”
Disaster species outside the ranks is literally a proper noun that collectively expresses monsters that exceed the S rank.
In other words, monsters that exist above the S rank are all disaster species outside the rank.
“Practically, it will be two levels stronger than the non-ranked disaster species of this era.”
“… … Two steps?”
Gigantos and Fenril appeared in the 3rd Magic Stone Warehouse in the past.
Two steps stronger than those great guys.
“Compared to Drake?”
“About a notch higher.”
“… … oh my god.”
Even more so, he was one step above Drake. I can’t help but laugh
“ah. okay. You said you saw Horus and Darkness, right? You can think of them as roughly the same or stronger than them.”
“… … Are you saying it’s a mythical species?”
“Yep. that’s right. mythological species.”
Drake narrowly straddles the monster’s line.
That’s why it’s expressed as one step down.
“Looking at the fact that even the record that nine-tailed foxes were Shinsoo disappeared in the first place, the probability that they still exist in this era is very small. Have you ever heard of this name? Lepelachiunium and Palaitaniarin.”
“… … no. Hear it first.”
“right?”
In the first place, the word Shinhwa species is also a proper noun that I first learned here.
In this era, there are no divine beasts or mythical species left.
“That’s why I recommended making Heavenly Tears. The effect is top-notch, and the production difficulty is very low compared to others.”
I agree with the statement that it is relatively low. The materials of the other elixirs are by-products of the Shinhwa species.
“… … I don’t think finding Laplace is that easy.”
“Well, it is not easy. Isn’t there a possibility though?”
“It is not… … .”
Certainly, it is much more likely than catching a mythical species that is unlikely to exist.
“And the current heir has a nine-tailed fox, right? Finding Laplace’s Tears isn’t that hard if you get help from him.”
“Miho?”
I looked at Miho, who was lying curled up on my thigh.
It is wagging its five tails with an expression of happiness in the world.
“What are you surprised about? I do not remember? You said that the mythic magic you can get by clearing the pages of the fifth test will be of great help in your search.”
“no. Of course I remember… … . Wasn’t it limited to searching for artifacts left behind by Master or the medium of mythic magic?”
“It can’t be. A nine-tailed fox’s search ability isn’t just about that.”
Mimir looked down at Miho, who was rolling on top of my thigh.
“Do you know how gumihos find things in the first place?”
“… … no.”
Come to think of it, I hadn’t talked about it yet.
“The nine-tailed fox is a divine being who handles the soul. I classify everything in the world as a soul and remember it.”
remember with the soul
Something comes and goes.
“The soul that has checked and memorized like that will never forget.”
“ah.”
I have a feeling.
I know exactly what you’re trying to say.
“So, if Miho has seen something before, he can find it regardless of whether it is animate or inanimate. What do you mean?”
“Exactly.”
Search using a special medium called the soul.
I knew how Miho could find Master’s artifact or medium for mythic magic.
Certainly with that ability, being able to find something with pinpoint makes sense.
“And Gumiho has seen Laplace in person in the past. Of course he also remembers Laplace’s soul.”
Miho is Master’s partner.
That’s why, as long as Master owned it at least once, he remembers everything.
Since it was Master who first created Heaven’s Tears, it is inevitable that Miho has also seen Laplace.
“Ask me once. Can you find Laplace?”
I took my eyes off Mimir and looked at Miho perched on my thigh.
Then he gently stroked his hair and asked.
“Miho. Could you possibly find an herb called Laplace?”
Miho’s ears perked up.
I started to think deeply about something.
And then, as if he remembered something, he nodded his head.
“look. Did she say she remembers?”
“… … That’s right.”
I stroked Miho’s hair again.
As if Miho was in a good mood, he cried out loud.
“Then Miho. Can you give me a rough idea of where Laplace is?”
At my words, Miho immediately shook her head.
“… … Can’t you?”
“Stupid heir. How will you answer me if I ask you here?”
“ah.”
That’s right.
This is Mimir’s Book.
It is a space in a book.
There was no way they could find it even if they asked for detection here.
“If you want the exact location, go outside and ask.”
“I will.”
I stood up from my seat holding Miho in my arms.
“Then I’ll come right out.”
“ok. While I was out, I asked if there were any artifacts and mediums nearby.”
“uh. That’s what I was thinking.”
Perhaps there are other artifacts or mediums of mythology and magic left in Korea.
If so, you should prioritize getting it back.
‘And while I’m doing it, I’ll have to figure out, at least roughly, the location of Master’s staff that Aslan said.’
A staff-type artifact that I said would be of greatest help to me now and that it would be best to find it first.
Laplace is also Laplace, but it is necessary to roughly grasp its location.
