‘Was it possible to see it this way?’
Russell’s eyes widened at the appearance of a green window that seemed to roughly summarize his current situation.
‘Characteristic, regressor. And congenital mana rod disease… … .’
Seeing that the characteristics were written like that, it seemed true that he had regressed.
and… … .
‘Heart, and eyes?’
However, it was not written what the eyes and heart were.
‘It was clearly written in the museum that it was the heart of a polyp.’
Could it actually be the heart of another being?
Otherwise, it is not known which polyp it is.
‘hmm.’
And the special details visible below the characteristics, Russell was just about to read them.
“Russell, Russell Raymond?”
Seeing him standing blankly staring into space, Professor Hubert tapped his desk.
“Oh, I’m sorry. professor.”
Russell, who came to his senses half a beat later, looked embarrassed and rubbed the back of his head.
“I was so happy when I received a compliment from the professor that I stopped.”
He handled the current situation skillfully, and Hubert gave advice while clearing his throat.
“They say it’s excellent, but it’s only well beyond the student level. The world of magic is wide and deep, so you should never be complacent.”
know.
The fact that magic related to the four major attributes is widely distributed not only in the low circle, but also in the high circle.
‘Although it was called ‘In-depth’, it was only in-depth at the student level.’
The higher you move up the circle, the more advanced understanding you will need.
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
When I calmed down my emotional turmoil and answered, Hubert tilted his chin in satisfaction.
“Rather… … .”
He said as he finished the peppermint tea he was drinking.
“You too will graduate next year. “Okay, is there anything you lack while studying?”
They say there were problems at Mana Road, but Russell was a talented student who never neglected his efforts.
It would be a lie if I said I didn’t care.
Hubert’s question came from that feeling.
“hmm.”
As Russell pondered for a moment, a thought suddenly passed through his mind.
“Actually, I do have one concern.”
“Tell me. “If there is anything I can do to help, I will do so as long as it does not go against equity.”
“I have no books to read.”
The corners of Professor Hubert’s eyes fluttered.
“A book to read. “There are plenty of books in the library.”
“I read all the books available in the student library.”
“that… … “A lot of things?”
Although it is said to be a student library, it has over 300 books, excluding duplicates.
But you read all those books?
‘There must have been quite a few parts that were difficult to understand at this level… … .’
I looked at Russell’s eyes with that thought in mind, but it didn’t really feel like he was lying.
“yes. “I read them all.”
Of course, not in this life, but in a past life. Thanks to repeating a grade several times, I had plenty of time.
“So what I’d like to ask you is…” … .”
“You’re asking to be allowed to use the professor’s library.”
“yes.”
When Russell answered without hesitation, Hubert narrowed his eyes, looked at him here and there, and said,
“If you really don’t have books to read in the student library, then maybe that’s what you should do.”
Based on his words, it seemed like he was giving permission, but his eyes seemed to say otherwise.
Therefore, Russell waited for the next words with a tense gaze.
“But it’s just difficult. “I really need to test whether you have accumulated enough knowledge to use the professor’s library.”

“If it’s a test… … .”
As soon as the horse’s tail began to droop, a green window appeared.
[mission]
Professor Hubert’s test.
Pass the exam given by Professor Hubert with high scores.
[compensation]
Access ticket to the first floor of the professor’s library.
Lesser Magic Stone (Edible) x2
* * *
Professor Hubert’s exam is about a month from now.
After supplementary classes were over, there was about a week left before the first semester of fourth grade began.
‘I guess it would be a good idea to stop by the student library during that time.’
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to quickly re-read it once in preparation for an unexpected situation.
If so, you first had to change your lifestyle pattern.
Training of ‘Overlord’ and ‘Wizard Body’.
After work was over, it was necessary to move up the training I had been doing in the afternoon to the morning. That way, I can go to the library in the afternoon.
‘Also, in order to practice circle ring, I have to wake up at least an hour and a half to two hours earlier than I do now… … .’
I’d inevitably have to cut back on sleep, but it was worth it.
‘The reward is not one but two low-level magic stones.’
What was previously only the lowest level has been raised to the lower level.
In addition, since they were definitely giving two, it was no different from saying that the level of difficulty was that high.
‘Now that I think about it, I stopped checking the compensation earlier.’
Let’s think about magic stones and rewards.
Russell, remembering what happened a little while ago, put his hand into his chest. He first took out the magic stone he received as a reward and additional compensation.
A magic stone that sparkles with a faint red light. The size was also twice as large as the previous one.
As big as it is -.
‘It would be nice if there was more mana.’
If so, I might be able to achieve the 2nd circle before long.
Russell, who was thinking about that, tilted his head.
‘What was that more than that?’
A large green window filled my eyes.
‘I definitely said I would activate the information window.’
It’s a disaster.
When the thought of an information window came to mind, a window that was no different from the one I had seen in the professor’s office appeared once again.
Among them, what caught Russell’s attention was the intermediate level of understanding of each attribute.
‘They’re all at the same intermediate level, but the numbers are different.’
Anyway, since it came as a reward, I thought it might have some special power.
Thinking like that, I stared at the flame attribute comprehension level at the forefront, and for a moment, above the green window, another window was activated.
It looks like two windows are overlapping.
[Intermediate understanding of fire properties]
-Additionally increases the level of understanding of fire attribute magic.
-The power of fire attribute magic increases depending on the level of understanding.
-The magic power consumed by fire attribute magic decreases depending on the level of understanding.
-The time it takes to cast fire attribute magic decreases depending on the level of understanding.
Not only does the magic power consumed and casting speed decrease, but the power also increases.
‘under-!’
After reading all the explanations of the window that came to mind, Russell opened his mouth without realizing it.
Along with the thought that I had gained another weapon of my own that differentiated me from others, a small worry arose.
‘What on earth is this green spear, giving me these amazing things?’
That too for a while.
Soon Russell stopped in place and lightly chewed his lip.
‘Anyway, it’s not a problem that you can come to a conclusion about right away just because you’re thinking about it.’
In that case, I have no choice but to take advantage of this green window as much as possible.
Because I had a purpose that I had to achieve.
Reviving a fallen family.
Finding the person in the empire who murdered his father and taking revenge.
‘You can’t give up anything.’
An amber light flashed along Russell’s eyes as he made up his mind once again.
* * *
“Grunt.”
Russell got up from the bed with a groan and hurried out of the dormitory.
Today is already the 10th day since I started waking up early in the morning.
To be honest, waking up early in the morning is not that easy.
Nevertheless, Russell woke up at the same time every day, around dawn.
I repeated the training of ‘Overlord’ and ‘Wizard Body’ through running and muscle training.
However, even though I repeated it every day, getting used to the exercise was not that easy.
It was worth it -.
‘The distance and number of runs I have to run every day is increasing.’
Russell looked at his trembling limbs and shook his head.
The distance to run today was a whopping 3.5km, and the number of strength exercises had increased to 80.
‘I’m dying.’
Even though I douse myself with cold water to cool down the sweat, I feel nauseous.
“Weeeek.”
It was a shame because it was before breakfast. If it had been after breakfast, it was clear that the thick vomit would have poured out.
‘Ugh, I still have to eat breakfast.’
Is it because of repeated bouts of nausea?
I felt sick and lost my appetite.
Nevertheless, Russell headed to the restaurant.
I mechanically chewed and swallowed a breakfast similar to the one I always ate.
And free time after supplementary classes and evenings.
During that time, I read books.
During supplementary classes, I read books that were borrowed, and during my free time, I would go to the library and read books.
As I thought before.
‘There’s no harm in reviewing it again just in case.’
Although the professor was teaching in front of him, Russell sat at the back and quickly turned the pages.
The thickness of the book is about the width of a finger joint.
Russell’s bag contained three more books of similar thickness.
‘Before dinner, I read all the books I borrowed yesterday.’
Boldly skip unnecessary content and check only the important points.
‘Professor Hubert is not a malicious professor.’
Even if it was a test, questions would be asked so as not to deviate from the core content.
Attached to the side leg.
They say that they will not raise the kind of problems that play around with trivial explanations.
[mission]
Read all the books you rented.
Read all the books you checked out yesterday before the student library closes at ten this evening.
1/4
[compensation]
Speed reading ability slightly increases.
Accuracy when speed reading increases slightly.
Additional rewards may be given depending on the content and understanding of each book.
[significant]
This mission can be repeated daily until a certain level of achievement is reached.
‘good.’
Just like when I started training for Overlord and Wizard Body, when I started reading the borrowed books, missions that could be repeated appeared.
Is it because I repeated that for 10 days?
Russell himself could feel that his reading speed had slightly increased compared to before.
Ten more days passed as the peaceful yet fulfilling daily routine continued.
* * *
“after-.”
Russell looked at the small pieces of stone in front of him and let out a long sigh with a nervous expression.
‘hearthstone.’
The size and the red light surrounding them were all different, but they were clearly magic stones.
Although they are all of the lowest level, they are edible magic stones.
The number of magic stones in front of Russell was about fifteen.
This is a collection of rewards from completing missions over the past twenty days.
Among them, the two magic stones I received from Professor Hubert’s office were also included.
‘With this amount, I might be able to achieve the second circle.’
In anticipation, Russell lightly licked his lower lip with the tip of his tongue for a moment, then burst into laughter.
‘I can’t believe I lost my appetite with the magic stone right in front of me.’
I felt like other people might think I was crazy.
Russell stretched out his hand, dispelling the tension with such a trivial thought.
‘First, start with the biggest one.’
He picked up the largest magic stone with his fingertips and shoved it into his mouth without a moment of hesitation.
Right!
