The unprecedented incident in which a prime minister and a princess fainted at the same time ended without any significant repercussions compared to the severity of the accident.
“Damn it, damn it, zenjaaaang-!”
“…”
Of course, Atalanta, who had a devil-like expression on her face, dragged Elnor and Sullivan out at the same time and sent them off to their duties, while repeatedly making inhumane screams.
Our president is in a position where, when something like this happens, he is the first to be caught up in the situation and has to take care of it. Let us understand.
Fortunately, there were no signs of trauma to the two, and Elijah’s workmanship was so neat that Elnor and Sullivan also fainted without realizing it.
It must be a great news that the victims don’t even know who to blame or what to blame.
Right now, Atalanta conveyed with a stiff expression that there was no intention of a more direct conflict between Elnor and Sullivan.
“Originally, the Petronus family and the Tristan dukedom did not have an amicable relationship. “There is a level of awareness that if the fire spreads this far, nothing good will happen to both of them.”
of course.
“This is a matter of which you have no part, Daoud. “There is no guarantee that a collision like this will not happen again in the future.”
Of course, there will be a clue like this.
With a bitter smile, he nods at Atalanta’s words.
“…We need to find a solution quickly.”
He gives that answer with a sigh.
The problem is not simply the conflict between Elnor and Sullivan.
The conflict between demons is bound to intensify in the future. Those two are just the beginning.
Especially in a situation where the number of demons entangled around me is increasing, the possibility of such a thing happening increases exponentially.
It is said that Elijah came with the ability to directly hit the devil’s fragments, but that is a fairly unstable deterrent.
I don’t know if it was a demon ‘before’ it went berserk, but it would be impossible to do such a thing after its power had truly begun to be released, as was the case with Elnor.
“Do you have any Bara in mind?”
“…”
It has to be there.
In the end, if you can’t prevent something like that from happening, the best thing you can do is at least provide a means to fix it when it happens.
And, there is only one thing that can ‘mediate’ the fight between demons.
A warrior holding a holy sword.
When he completes his final growth, he will become the strongest human in the human race.
Even in the Sera worldview, she is the top two in combat power alongside the Gray Devil.
“Looking at your expression, it doesn’t seem like you like it that way.”
That is also true.
Because the risk is too high.
Not me, but Elijah’s risk of being caught up in this event.
“…But it’s also clear that we have no choice.”
As he answers, he brings up a window in front of him.
< System Log >
The starting point of [ 〖 Chapter 4 – Red Night 〗 has changed! ]
As far as I know, the start of Chapter 4 should come a few months from now.
However, as always, thanks to the twisted scenario, the starting point is just around the corner.
‘…It makes no sense for him not to use the holy sword.’
The hero holding the holy sword is of equal importance to the gray demon selected as the ‘final boss’ in the progression of the scenario.
I don’t know anything else, but I definitely need this. The moment that part is misaligned, this entire world falls apart.
Guys like ‘False God’ and ‘Brand of Bad Omen’ in the latter part are guys who had to base their strategy on the existence of Elijah holding the holy sword from the beginning. The moment you don’t have that, you don’t even have the option of waking up at all.
but.
‘The stakes are too high.’
Being recognized by the first warrior’s holy sword is easy to say, but if you make a mistake, your life will be lost.
In the original, Elijah passed the test with flying colors, but…
“…”
I have handled most of the trials he has to face in the game so far.
then.
The key is whether Elijah’s ‘growth stage’ as required in the original work has been fulfilled.
Of course, I suddenly acquired the crazy ability to hit the devil’s fragments directly, but that and receiving the Holy Sword’s recognition are two different things.
but.
“When did you say the selection of warriors would start, President?”
“I heard that in a few days, candidates will be selected from academies in each country. “The Holy Sword cannot be used on humans over a certain age.”
I nod my head while listening to Atalanta.
As expected, there is no time this time either.
The story goes that in just a few days, the main event will hit you right away without you even being prepared.
then.
There is only one way left.
“…Can you do me a favor, President?”
“What is it?”
“There are two things. First of all, the contact information and meeting rights of the senior professor in the Department of Theology.”
Atalanta glared at me with narrowed eyes.
“I won’t ask why you need it. It’s not that difficult. However, you do know that he is a bit unusual, right?”
“…I know very well.”
In fact, he is a person I don’t want to get involved with unless he is a senior professor.
As Atalanta said, ‘unique’ means that they packaged it up a little too well…
He’s a bit crazy. Him.
“Secondly.”
anyway.
I sigh and continue speaking.
“Please allow me to participate in the hero selection event.”
“…”
Atalanta looked at me with a stern expression.
“…There is only one student from El Fante who can run for office.”
“I know.”
At least, to be a candidate for this kind of selection, it is impossible unless you are a person who has heard people around you say that you are a ‘hero candidate’ before.
but.
“Not as the warrior candidate himself, but as an ‘attendant’ assisting him. “Wouldn’t every country send that amount?”
“It would be possible… but it would be extremely close to impossible to influence the selection process to that extent.”
Atalanta continued speaking with a shocked expression.
Absolutely, yes.
Considering the progress of the event called hero selection in the game, it is ultimately up to the candidates to overcome the ‘trial’ given to them. At most, an attendant is at the level of a coach.
but.
“It’s close to impossible, but it’s not impossible.”
“…yes?”
“Has any of the things I’ve accomplished so far been possible?”
It’s the same thing I always did.
I am responsible for the butterfly effect that happened because of me.
therefore.
Receiving the Holy Sword’s approval at the end is a problem he must overcome.
“I will make that guy a hero, President. No matter what happens.”
At least paving the ‘road’.
It’s my job.

“…”
I survived today too.
As soon as I returned to the dormitory’s private room, I wiped my face as I thought of those thoughts.
With that thought in mind, I look at the small bracelet wrapped around the top of the amulet.
This is an item that Elijah bought as a gift from the tribal alliance.
In my head, the conversation I had just had with Elijah was replaying.
-Selecting a hero? I’ll do it!
-…
I was at a loss for words for a while at the answer that came out so cheerfully, and then finally got the words out.
-…Are you saying you know what that is?
-Hmm, when you say it like that, it seems like it’s dangerous?
-Yeah, dude. If you do something wrong, you could die, so please think carefully-
-But, it’s helpful to you, right?
-…
I was at a loss for words and just kept my mouth shut.
The guy smiled brightly and gave the answer without any hesitation.
-Then I will do it.
-…hey.
-And, above all.
As if that weren’t the only reason, he smiled bitterly and continued.
-If I become a hero, I might be able to find my brother.
In the voice that spits out such a sentence.
There was also a determination that no matter who tried to stop him, it would be of no use.
If you think about it, the reason she hated being called a hero candidate or anything like that in the first place and wore it was because she was trying to find her brother, who had gone missing.
“Caliban.”
[…]
“I know you’re awake. “Let’s talk for a moment.”
I don’t think he’s been this quiet since he was with me.
As I was thinking about that, Caliban spoke in a low voice.
[…cover your eyes and hide, you bastard.]
“yes?”
[Isn’t it certain that my younger brother will be thrown into that place, sooner or later? Why didn’t you tell me that in advance?]
“…”
That’s right.
In the end, it was clear that this person would also find out someday.
[…He is the only bloodline I have left.]
Caliban said as if chewing.
[If something happens to him-]
“Caliban.”
He slaps the Soul Linker.
This won’t cause any harm to this person, but it will at least have the effect of calling attention.
“I told you because I was sure something wouldn’t happen.”
Who do you think is a simpleton?
I think I’m an idiot so I didn’t listen when the prime minister spoke and made me listen when the president spoke.
[…]
A look of bewilderment rose from within the Soul Linker.
[…therefore.]
Caliban then continued speaking.
[Are you saying there is a sure way to get recognition from the Holy Sword?]
“There are ways.”
[…What method are you using? Let alone getting the Holy Sword’s recognition, it doesn’t make sense to get through the selection in the first place-]
“Hey, that’s easy.”
Saying that, he brings up a window in front of him.
< System Log >
[The ‘survival assistant’ rule is activated! ]
[ Target ‘Elijah’ reacts sensitively to your crisis situation. ]
[The target’s abilities increase significantly! ]
[The target opens the ‘Eyes of Truth’! ]
This is the spear that came to mind when Elijah hit Elnor and Sullivan in the back of the head.
If nothing else, there are two things to see here.
The part about Elijah reacting sensitively to ‘my crisis situation’ and that ‘his abilities increased significantly’ as a result.
‘…No matter how much I improved my specifications under Kwon Seong-nim and came back.’
It is impossible for two vessels of the devil to have struck each other without even realizing it.
What’s more, if your opponent is Elnor, whose basic specs allow her to rub shoulders with Margrave Kendrid.
In other words, common sense.
That’s why it’s fair to say that the increase in abilities that this guy gives me when I’m in a crisis is crazy.
And, that will be the means by which he can gain an unconditional advantage in the selection process.
“Caliban.”
I take a deep breath and continue speaking.
“To be precise, Elijah is not the only one who passes the selection.”
And, of course, it’s a very obvious thing.
“We are in this together, Caliban.”
[…what?]
“It’s a bit difficult to explain the method, but if I continue to live with the risk of my life, his… abilities will also increase.”
[…]
therefore.
This is a bit of a funny story.
In order to always have such ability enhancements, I need to be constantly exposed to situations where I feel like I am sandwiched between the devil’s vessel that is about to go crazy.
“And, it’s not that difficult.”
If it is the selection of heroes, it is an event where the leaders of each country, the selected heroes, and the enormous forces that will accompany them all appear at once.
Even if you don’t have to go to the devil level, it’s not that difficult to create a situation that threatens your life.
[…therefore.]
Caliban responded with a tone of bewilderment.
[At a place where all the continent’s powerhouses appear.]
“yes.”
[Are you saying that I have to continue with this absurd attempt at suicide?]
“yes.”
[…What are you going to do? Are you going to start a fight over every single thing?]
“That’s not it.”
[As expected-]
“I have to make everyone there rush at me like they’re going to kill me. “You can’t just start a fight.”
[…]
I think.
In order for Elijah to pass the selection safely and be recognized as the owner of the holy sword, he has to go to that level to be safe.
It is a credit to everyone there.
To do that, shouldn’t I just do what I’m best at?
My specialty is something that everyone recognizes.
“I will be trash, Caliban.”
[…]
“It will show how far a person’s character can be ruined.”
I leave the clean and honest image to Elijah.
In the meantime, I will scratch the bottom of humanity.
[This is done against continental powerhouses.]
“yes.”
[…]
Caliban was silent for a long time and then finally spoke.
[…okay. You’ve been showing me being swayed here and there a lot lately. I forgot about it for a moment.]
“yes?”
[Of all the crazy people I’ve seen, you’re the best.]
“…”
For now, I will take it as a compliment.
