Chapter 391
that afternoon.
We finished with an additional break of 2 hours and 30 minutes in total.
We headed straight to Nokseong’s main training ground.
“Is Mimir still in the Book of Danteroa?”
While moving, I asked Elena, who was floating and moving in front of me.
“yes. I finally found what I was looking for… … I’m sorry, but I’m going to do some research on my own for a while. He asked me to tell him that.”
“is that so.”
found what you were looking for
‘Master was right.’
Master was right when he said Mimir would find what he was looking for in Area B-3.
It’s strange.
Master at the time heard from me that Mimir was prolonging his life in this condition.
How did he immediately understand what Mimir wanted?
“Oh, and Ha Yul-kun’s training was supposed to be watched by Tei.”
“Are you Tay?”
I’m surprised To think that Tay would accept such a troublesome task.
“How is Tei going to train?”
“well. I’ve never seen Tay teach anyone, so I don’t know. Hear it directly from Tay.”
“aha.”
It’s that rare.
“I just arrived.”
In the distance, I see a huge gate, a comfortable green color.
That is the grounds of Halamanium, the main training ground of the second stage. It is a gymnasium for Nokseong.
“It’s grand.”
Soon-chan looked up at the door with an exclamation of ‘Ya~’.
“… … this green. Isn’t it artificially painted green?”
Adela was observing the door with a very curious expression.
“Did the mana flowing from the magic stone inside turn the door green?”
Miss Elena looked at Adela with a surprised expression.
Aslan-nim next to him was also making a slightly surprised expression.
Maybe I’m making a similar expression.
“No, that’s right. Like the Luminous Magic Stone Cave. The inside of this training ground is also full of special magic stones. This iron gate is colored green because of the mana that the magic stone emits. You’ve noticed. The door was completely blocking mana, so mana wouldn’t even be detected.”
About the structure of Nokseong, I hadn’t told these two at all.
Judging from Elena-sama’s reaction like that, it doesn’t seem like Elena-sama was talking about it either.
Then Adela noticed on her own… … . What did he see that convinced him that there was a magic stone inside?
“I couldn’t have heard Mana’s voice.”
Before, when I separated my mana from the dragon’s mana.
I heard that he heard Mana’s voice and recognized it.
But not this time.
‘I can’t hear Mana’s voice.’
Mana’s voice wasn’t something only Adela could hear.
I can hear Mana’s voice better than Adela.
To say that I can’t hear anything is like saying that Adele didn’t hear anything either.
“yes. no.”
I knew it.
“just… … . The green color on the door looks like Mana’s face.”
“The face of Mana?”
What do you mean?
“face… … Would you say it’s a little weird? Should we call it the appearance of Mana?”
It was said that he had detected the form of mana in that green color.
“anyway. You mean you felt a mana-like phenomenon in that green color?”
“yes.”
Adela nodded and continued.
“Assuming that green is a mana-related phenomenon, I thought that the only thing that could color such a thick and large door like that was only magic stones filled inside.”
Adela added, ‘It also reminded me of the Luminous Magic Stone Cave.’
“… … The more I look at it, the more I feel great.”
Miss Elena praised Adela again with an expression of admiration.
“no… … . What’s so great… … .”
Adela smiled bitterly with a shy expression.
“It’s the face of Mana… … .”
I took my eyes off the two of them and looked at the door.
After listening to it, there was definitely a strong trace of mana in that green color.
As Adela said, it also looks like Mana’s face.
‘There are things you can only know because you don’t know.’
Suddenly, a phrase I saw somewhere in a book came to mind.
Something that people in the know would take for granted.
People who don’t know it find it strange, so they dig deep and study it.
Maybe this is the situation right now.
“… … that’s interesting. The color also proves the form of mana.”
Should I say it’s like a person going on a trip somewhere and leaving a sign on the wall to leave a trace of himself?
“The connection between color and mana. nice Thanks to you, I learned something new.”
“no. As far as saying you’ve learned… … .”
“no. I really learned a lot.”
When you know one, you miss the other.
Mimir and I may have missed the basics in improving myth magic.
Mana is soon classified as a color. It seems that I was only looking at mana from the dragon’s point of view.
‘Wouldn’t it look different if I looked a little more purely at Mana’s natural appearance?’
If this is also an enlightenment, it must be an enlightenment.
After entering the training ground, let’s do our best to live this realization first.
‘Somehow I feel good.’
Something lacking in me seems to be satisfied.
I felt that way.
* * *
After that.
We carried out the task of infusing the door with our mana.
This is an act to obtain entry qualification, and if you enter the interior without doing this act, a rejection action will occur.
“Whoa. You suck too much.”
Soon-chan, who had finished the work, approached me shaking his head.
“tired. exhausted.”
“It’s tough.”
You can see that I’m not tired at all.
“… … that’s what the saying is Normally, staring at the clock is the hardest thing.”
“Admit that.”
Nothing is as exhausting as boring work. That’s why I hate the hospital’s overhaul.
“… … .”
Adela came to us with a worldly languid expression.
Adela also seems to have just finished work.
“I’m sleepy?”
It looked like he was carrying all the tiredness and tiredness in the world.
“yes. little… … .”
It’s not Soonchan who is tired, but Adela.
Not physically, but mentally, it seems to have completely spread out.
It would be even more exhausting for Adela, who hates boring work.
“All three. You have suffered a lot. With this, authentication is complete.”
Then Elena-sama approached us.
“You can go in now.”
Elena-nim smiled bitterly after looking at me, Soon-chan, and Adela in turn.
As soon as he saw Adela’s frightened eyes, his expression changed.
“It’s a typical genius department up to this point.”
Seeing that he couldn’t stand boring work, he seemed to think of the characteristics of a genius.
“… … yes?”
Adela answered blankly with half-closed eyes.
“no. Thank you for your hard work.”
Miss Elena smiled and passed it over.
“anyway. It’s all over, so you can just go in.”
Mistress Elena pointed to the green door.
“Then, since everyone seems to be bored, let’s go right in.”
“… … yes.”
Adela answered in a blank voice. Would it have been so boring?
‘Ah, when I was resting earlier. I wasn’t sleeping alone.’
During her breaks, Adela opened her notebooks and studied hard.
Maybe that’s why I’m so sleepy right now.
“Come to think of it, I haven’t told you about the training yet.”
“… … !”
Then Adela’s eyes flashed open. The word training content flashed her mind.
“The content of the training is simple.”
Ki-yi-yi-!
The green door slowly opened.
“You win.”
Green light began to flow through the cracks in the door, and a panoramic view of the interior came into view.
“To be more precise… … . Beat each other’s partners. Earn victory.”
The interior was a typical parade ground.
The only peculiar thing is that the walls in all directions, up, down, left, right, front and back, are colored green.
“A partner?”
Sunchan tilted his head slightly and looked at Adela.
“… … You mean to fight Adela and win?”
“no. different.”
Elena-nim looked at Soon-chan, then at Aslan-nim.
“Sunchan-kun’s partner isn’t Adela, right?”
Sunchan’s eyes widened.
Looking at Elena-sama in front of her eyes, she reacted as if she had seen a ghost.
“Eh, Miss Elena… … . body… … ?”
no. is it the opposite
It should be said that it is not a reaction like seeing a ghost, but a reaction like seeing a person.
“yes.”
Elena smiled and held Sunchan’s hand.
Originally, there should be no tactile sensation or warmth.
Because Elena-sama doesn’t have a body.
“Don’t touch me… … ?”
But not now.
Currently, Elena-sama has recovered her body.
“Are you surprised?”
Elena-sama’s smile brightened even more.
“The official name of the green Magic Stone that fills the periphery of the parade ground here is ‘Hwanmongseok’. It is a magic stone with the power to blur the line between dreams and reality. It’s so special that it’s hard to classify it separately… … . If you have to classify it, it is a magic stone that belongs to the hallucination class.”
“… … A fantasy stone?”
“yes.”
Miss Elena took her hand away from Sunchan and gathered the mana around her into her fingertips.
“You can put the target to sleep, hallucinate it, or make it dream. If you increase the density of mana, you can make your dreams come true. It is such a magic stone.”
Green formed a clear shape.
“We used this power to create a body.”
Sunchan was silent with a blank expression.
“So you’re saying this situation is a dream?”
“It is also a dream. It’s not even a dream.”
“… … ?”
Sunchan’s eyes narrowed.
It’s an expression that doesn’t understand anything in the world.
“It’s a hallucination, but would it be easier to understand if I said it wasn’t a hallucination?”
“… … I don’t know more.”
“hmm… … then… … .”
Miss Elena thought with a troubled expression.
“As the mana of the hallucination-type magic stone is concentrated in one place, the hallucination does not remain as a mere hallucination, but a hallucination with a form. It has become a kind of hallucination.”
“uh… … . hmm… … .”
Soon-chan’s expression changed to ‘I think I know?’
“If you don’t know, just think of it as a virtual space. Elena-sama’s body is a kind of avatar.”
“aha. Virtual space and avatars.”
… … To be honest, it’s very different. No matter what you say, it seems difficult to understand. I decided to just leave it as a virtual space.
“understand. Sorry for interrupting you. Please continue talking.”
“… … How far have I been talking?”
“You even said who your partner is.”
“Oh, there it was.”
Elena-sama cleared her throat.
“The main purpose of this training is to improve actual combat capability. The way to prove that your fighting power has increased is to fight your partner and win.”
“yes. So, who is that partner?”
Sunchan asked with a stiff expression.
“… … Did you not notice even after I said this?”
Miss Elena was at a loss for words with a puzzled look on her face.
Even though I’ve said this much, I can’t seem to notice it.
He was making a face as if he were saying that.
‘… … It’s blocking the brain from thinking about it.’
Sunchan doesn’t know anything else, but he’s quick to notice.
If it was your usual sunchan, you would have noticed who the ‘partner’ was a long time ago.
There is another reason why Sunchan is acting so stupid right now.
“grow.”
“… … yes?”
trauma.
Now, the trauma that fills Soon-chan’s head is preventing him from reaching the truth.
To put it bluntly, it means ‘escape from reality’.
“Ah, Aslan? what is that… … .”
“Your opponent is me.”
Just like Elena-sama, Aslan-sama, who had a body, smiled and placed a hand on Soon-chan’s shoulder.
“Ji Soon-chan. Welcome to the real hell.”
Sunchan trembled and turned his head.
“Where do you win?”
The grim reaper was standing there.
“If I can win, that is.”
9 circle space wizard.
The worst grim reaper named Aslan Polo Hamruin.
“… … .”
Sun-chan knelt down with a look of despair.
“Adela. Your opponent is me.”
“yes.”
“Take care.”
Right next to the two of them, Elena-sama and Adela were laughing harmoniously.
“I am… … I’m screwed… … . ruined… … .”
Heaven and Hell.
Two things that couldn’t coexist coexisted together.
