Chapter 355
A name given because it exists but does not exist.
circle of nothingness.
Collision of conflicting concepts that exist and do not exist.
If the average person hears about this topic for the first time, it’s sure to get them in their head.
‘No, what nonsense is it that it exists and does not exist?’
I’m going to curse in the middle of the day.
“I’ve read and researched cancer, but I don’t understand what it means to say that this exists but does not exist.”
In fact, even Mimir doesn’t understand, so I’ve said everything.
“I think this can be interpreted a bit… … .”
Mimir looked at me with an expression of disdain.
Even though I said I would read all the books in one day and understand 100%.
It would be a shame that I didn’t understand the most important concept.
“It’s worth it. That concept is so difficult that even Tay-sama doesn’t understand it properly.”
“… … It makes me feel worse to be treated the same as him.”
Mimir’s expression hardened even more.
It was said with the intention of comforting her, but it seems she chose the wrong words.
“anyway… … . sorry. I earned a month at most, but I made it delayed again like this… … .”
Mimir frowned and sighed.
I’m sorry I couldn’t help.
He seemed to think so.
“Oh, you don’t have to worry about that.”
I don’t have to be sorry.
“I already understand the concept to some extent.”
Mimir’s eyes widened.
“Why are you so surprised? Is it really that surprising that I know something you don’t?”
“No, I’m not specifically ignoring the heir… … .”
Mimir blurted out his words with a mysterious expression.
“The information on the 8th circle has just been unlocked, right? That means that even the heirs knew about that concept for the first time yesterday.”
“yes?”
I first learned about the eighth Infinity Circle yesterday.
“That means you understood that esoteric concept in one day, right? So how can I not be surprised?”
When Mimir thought about it again, he laughed out loud.
“How could you understand? I really don’t feel it.”
“hmm… … .”
How did you understand… … .
“I didn’t understand it right away, either.”
It is a difficult and esoteric concept that even Mimir cannot understand.
How can you see it at a glance and understand it at once?
“I just knew a similar concept before.”
The reason I immediately understood the singularity of the eighth Infinity Circle was that I already knew a concept similar to that singularity.
“Is there a similar concept?? With this esoteric concept? what is that?”
A light of interest lit up in Mimir’s eyes.
It seems that they are interested in the fact that something else with such an esoteric concept exists.
“Heart sword.”
“… … A sword?”
However, that expression was short-lived.
The emotion of interest in Mimir’s eyes immediately disappeared.
“A sword, not magic?”
“uh. It’s a prosecutor’s concept.”
“hmm. I see.”
A chilled expression.
It was an expression that showed no interest in things like swords.
‘… … Are all geniuses like this?’
For some reason, Terun’s face overlaps behind Mimir’s face.
It was the same as Terun-nim’s expression when he talked about swordsmanship.
Who is not a genius, even the parts that have no interest in anything other than the field they are interested in are the same.
“Heir. Did you learn swordsmanship?”
“no. didn’t learn I did some studying.”
“You mean there was only an academic approach?”
“Exactly.”
“… … Hmm.”
Mimir’s eyes lit up again.
It seems that the word academic approach has sparked some interest again.
“Academic approach to swordsmanship. It’s fun. In the days of the Empire, there was only the perception that swordsmanship was a product of the body and senses. I haven’t been able to approach it academically.”
“okay? I’m surprised I thought you would have approached that way at least once.”
Mimir laughed bitterly.
“hmm. Actually, I tried to take an academic approach and analyze it… … .”
Looks like a lot of thoughts.
“… … I got scolded and quit.”
“Honna?”
“uh.”
“To whom?”
“To the vassals.”
“why?”
Is there any reason to get mad?
“It’s an insult to the sacred swordsmanship.”
“… … huh?”
For a moment, I didn’t understand what you meant.
“Don’t you understand? In fact, I still don’t understand.”
Mimir laughed bitterly.
“just. It was like that. Swordsmanship only exists as swordsmanship. Why do I have to listen to an outsider who knows nothing about it?”
“… … A vassal said that to a country’s princess?”
That’s even more shocking.
“Oh, of course I didn’t hear that directly. I just heard you say that.”
“Even if you haven’t heard it yourself. If those words were conveyed to you, did you really say those things openly?”
Having those words reach the ears of the princess is the same as saying them in front of her eyes.
In the era of the Empire, when most power was concentrated in the king, that was a kind of disrespect.
Minimum price to be released from office.
In the worst case, it is a mortal sin that would not be strange even if you were put in prison.
“Did you put up with that?”
“… … I had to put up with it. you know that? That my position at that time was a bit like that.”
The only heir who cannot use magic.
During the Imperial days, Mimir was treated as a virtually non-existent person.
“No matter what, it’s a problem with the prestige of the country for a mere vassal to ignore the princess.”
This isn’t just Mimir’s problem.
Ignoring Mimir is like ignoring his father, Ray Bell Bytenor.
This is a matter of state prestige.
“Did Master stay still after hearing that?”
“… … If you listened to Obama’s personality, you wouldn’t have stayed still.”
Mimir’s head turned very slightly down.
“But, at that time, Obama was on an expedition. You couldn’t know.”
“After you come back? Didn’t you tell me or not?”
“… … huh. I didn’t tell you.”
“why?”
“Because I don’t want to punish that vassal.”
“why?”
“He went. I sound like a bad person from what I said, but I wasn’t that bad. It has a bit of an authoritarian side to it.”
“Anyway, it is. After being insulted like that… … .”
How can you keep quiet after being insulted like that?
“and… … . He was the strongest knight in the empire.”
Mimir smiled bitterly.
“We couldn’t cut power in those chaotic times.”
“that… … .”
that time.
It must have meant the time of war with Saguk led by Bale Stall.
“Because if it were Obama Mama, she would have kicked out that vassal with a question and answer dance… … . It was something that shouldn’t have happened.”
Mimir forced a smile.
“It was not only for the empire, but also for me. If that vassal had been kicked out because of that, he would have had to turn all the knights into enemies.”
so i just skipped it
No, I had no choice but to pass.
It was like that.
“… … okay.”
It was an upsetting story.
“So after that, I stopped paying attention to the sword.”
It’s absurd, so I can’t help but laugh.
“Why would you say something like this to someone you don’t know? Really stupid.”
“… … Are you stupid?”
“That’s right. Mimir If you had analyzed and developed the sword in earnest, it would have evolved one level. I kicked it because of stubbornness.”
Stupidity pierces the sky.
Within the category of learning, Mimir’s talent is unmatched.
What if such Mimir tried his hand at swordsmanship in earnest?
I can say for sure.
Swordsmanship would have evolved incomparably before.
“That’s why I couldn’t properly reach the extreme of the sword.”
If that was the case, a person who had reached the stage that Sein-sama had reached even in the days of the Empire might have appeared.
And if such a person had appeared, then the bale stall might have been completely dealt with.
“Oh, I’m really pissed off. What are you bastards doing?”
Why did the people of the empire ignore Mimir so much?
I can’t understand it even if I try to understand it.
“That vassal. If I were right in front of you, I would give you a blow.”
“Heir… … .”
Mimir stared at me with a moved expression.
The eyes are quite moist.
“… … thank you.”
It was a greeting full of sincerity.
“Thank you. I was just telling the truth.”
I exhaled deeply.
I feel the anger escape with my breath.
“That, um… … .”
Mimir looks at me with a mysterious expression.
On the other hand, I am grateful for being angry because of myself. I’m sorry for making you angry.
It looked like he was thinking about it.
“Kuhm.”
Mimir cleared his throat with a forceful look on his face.
“The conversation leaked because of me. so. What is the relationship between that sword and this circle of Mu?”
A change of topic that is as forced as a forced action.
First of all, what do you want to do with this unanswered atmosphere?
It was the expression and behavior that showed such will.
“… … okay. I stopped talking about it.”
But well, in this situation, it was an appropriate topic change.
It was also a moment when the atmosphere needed a change.
“Did I sneak up on you the other day? While you were asleep, Sein-nim entered a level higher than that of Shim Gum… … .”
I slowly started talking about the connection between the sword and the 8th Infinity Circle.
“I was very impressed with that sword, so I studied it in many ways. Then I discovered a rule… … .”
My talk lasted about an hour.
* * *
next day.
After completing the training, leaving Danteroa’s book, the way to the research institute.
“What are you doing here?”
I met Sunchan.
“… … help me.”
As if they were waiting for me, they were squatting on the road leading from the mansion to the research institute.
“I don’t want to die at this young age.”
“… … huh?”
A look of yearning for the world.
It looked like he was receiving death threats from someone.
“Why is he like this?”
Mimir looked at Sunchan and tilted his head slightly.
The expression that I can’t understand why soonchan is showing this reaction.
“well… … ?”
It was something I couldn’t understand either.
“Boy. Aren’t you only in this lab for two days?”
“that’s right.”
It wasn’t like I was walking around outside and my life was threatened by meeting the Black Mage Tower guys.
I was only in the lab, so why did they react like this?
I don’t know.
“Aslan was also with me. She wouldn’t be in any danger.”
Startle!
At that moment, Sunchan’s shoulders trembled.
It was exactly the moment when the name ‘Asran’ came out of Mimir’s mouth.
“Aslan Polo Hamruin.”
Sunchan’s body trembled even more.
“aha.”
“That’s it. It was faster than I thought.”
Mimir and I exclaimed at the same time.
He must have noticed why Sunchan was in this state.
“This guy. You couldn’t withstand Aslan’s hell training and jumped out.”
Mimir clicked his tongue and said.
“It’s only two days. Can’t stand that and run away?”
Mimir shook his head.
“Only two days… … ?”
Sunchan raised his head and glared at Mimir.
“… … uh?”
Mimir trembled.
“Princess.”
empty eyes.
“You know what?”
The vitality in Sunchan’s eyes had completely disappeared.
“Two days… … long.”
“that… … . uh… … .”
Will the expression of a suicidal aspirant on the verge of giving up on life, fallen into the abyss of despair, be like that?
Mimir was taken aback.
The expression that I didn’t know that I would be making such a face.
“Two days is not a time that can be described as a mere one.”
“uh… … . that’s right long hmm.”
“You just said that. Could you please apologize?”
“That, yes. sorry. I guess I made a mistake.”
As if Mimir was pushed by the momentum, he apologized as it was.
I don’t think Mimir had anything to apologize for. I’m pushing this out of momentum.
‘but. Sunchan’s atmosphere must be so vicious.’
It’s possible that Mimir will be overwhelmed by the momentum.
“Is it that hard?”
“Ha, is it hard?”
Sun-chan smiled with a confused expression.
“Okay.”
It was like looking at a tree that had been burnt white.
“It’s hard… … what?”
‘Oh… … .’
The degree of mental collapse is considerable.
It seems that Aslan’s special training was quite difficult.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve seen his mental breakdown like this.’
Sunchan’s mentality should be enough to belong to the top 1%.
Breaking this in two days.
What did you do and how did you do it?
“What training did you do?”
“training?”
Sunchan laughed.
“That is not training. It’s more like torture than training… … .”
It was then.
“You’re sick.”
Aslan-nim appeared.
After a long period of operation, it went into a cooldown state for a while, and now it must be back in operation state.
“Ha, are you serious?”
Soonchan snorted.
“If that is cruelty, death is also cruelty.”
Aslan-nim laughed.
“hmm. In other words, I’d rather die than train. Is this what you mean?”
“yes. You got it right.”
Sunchan sprawled on his back.
“I can’t! No, no! 6 more months of training… … . I’d rather die!”
cut the belly
i can never go
Sunchan’s will was firm.
‘It looks really tough.’
Even my hell training endured.
How can that happen in two days?
“Asran. How much did you roll the kid?”
Mimir glared at Aslan.
‘Even if I roll it, I shouldn’t roll it moderately.’
Mimir’s eyes said so.
Asran-nim let Mimir’s gaze moderately and focused her attention on Soonchan.
“hmm. I mean I can’t stand it. In order to be on time, I have no choice but to maintain this level of intensity… … .”
Aslan-nim stroked his chin, still holding on to his scorn.
“If that’s the case, there’s nothing you can do about it. I will lower the training intensity.”
A blush appeared on Sun-chan’s face.
“Excellent choice! right The training right now is still too much… … .”
“step.”
Aslan’s expression cooled down.
“If you lower the training intensity, after six months. When the planned catastrophe arrives. You cannot be of any help.”
“… … yes?”
Soon-chan’s expression hardened again.
“Not to mention the backs of Shin Ha-yul and Adela Stewart. You won’t be able to properly protect your family and even your lover. The only thing I can do is watch my friends die right in front of my eyes by the servants of the veil stall.”
“… … .”
Sun-chan’s eyes trembled.
“but. If you follow my training clearly. 6 months later. When that day comes, you… … .”
Aslan-nim’s eyes leaked.
“I will become the best wizard who will not lose to anyone. I do not say.”
“that… … case… … .”
Even in an earthquake, Nanyang trembles violently.
“Choose.”
The two looked into each other’s eyes.
“Is it hardship for the future? Is it a snack for the present? I will abide by your choice.”
“… … .”
Sunchan bit his lip.
“Choose… … .”
As if he had made up his mind to do something, the light returned to his eyes.
“In the first place, there is only one option, right?”
Sun-chan’s eyes didn’t tremble any more.
“yes. All right.”
A series of sounds rang out from Sunchan’s mouth.
“I die now. a little bit Do you really want to die?”
A man who can exert more strength when moving for friends and family than when moving for himself.
That was Ji Sun-chan.
“I knew you would say that.”
A truly moving sight.
People who didn’t know it would have been moved by Sunchan’s determination and Asran’s trust.
However, from my point of view, who knows everything, it was not a very moving scene.
‘Heir. Asran. Are you selling drugs?’
Mimir whispered in my ear.
‘… … uh. You’re selling drugs.’
The excitement is a bitch.
Soon-chan is just a pitiful scapegoat being scammed.
Just lowering the training intensity doesn’t make that much of a difference.
There will be a difference to some extent, but it’s not to the extent that I can’t do anything like Aslan-sama said.
Soon-chan is now immersed in the keywords of family and friends, and is only being deceived.
“ruler. Then let’s go back to hell.”
“Yes yes. let’s go. go.”
Hogu Ji Soon-chan does not know that he is being deceived.
He embarked on a journey to become a voluntary hukou.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Mimir and I quietly bowed our heads as we watched Sunchan and Asran leave.
“devil… … .”
Mimir mourned Soonchan with a compassionate gaze.
“Still, once you’ve endured, you’ll be really, really strong. cheer up.”
6 months later.
Soonchan’s appearance was expected a little.
What will Soon-chan look like after completing all of Asran’s hell training?
“Six months later… … .”
Whatever the reason, Sunchan made up his mind.
Once a decision is made, Soonchan will never give up.
“I should try harder too.”
In order not to lose to Sunchan, I have to work harder.
I also made up my mind again.
