Episode 120
* * *
Exactly 7 days and 13 hours.
That’s the time I was down.
I’ve felt this before, but I feel like my body’s resilience is much better than I thought.
It’s similar to how I felt when I made circles before, but it’s definitely not because my body is young.
This is a more fundamental problem.
It is a well-known story in the world, there is a word called ‘Jeonggisin’.
It is also the name of a book that explains the relationship between the mind, energy, and body in various ways. According to the book, the intellectual body can elevate the body beyond its limits as long as the mind supports it.
In fact, people with great mental strength grow quickly, and I have seen countless such people.
This is why I rate Thanos so highly.
Why do I say this?
That’s because it feels strange.
‘The spirit basically means the soul.’
The mind is the soul and the soul is the mind.
As the soul grows, the spirit grows, and as long as the spirit supports it, the limits of the body also grow.
This category also includes resilience.
To sum up, I was feeling certain now.
That my soul has grown more.
‘I’m really going to die.’
It’s good to be strong.
That’s a good thing.
This one deserved some skepticism.
Because I didn’t expect it to get so strong that it would far surpass my expectations.
I was sitting on the bed, lost in thought.
Did that make me look strange?
The master said.
[You have a serious expression.]
I guess I got a cold.
I just turned my head and looked at my teacher.
Should I tell you?
He immediately shook his head.
Nothing is certain yet.
Even if there is, the teacher shouldn’t be stressed out by such things.
“I was wondering what to eat for dinner today.”
[… … Is that so?]
Judging from the teacher’s tone, it seemed like there was something suspicious, but he just let it go.

This isn’t the first or second time I’ve been like this.
I shrugged, and this time I asked the question.
“Have you had a wonderful week?”
The teacher turns his head briefly and looks at the lock guarding the door.
And looking at the location of the energy felt beyond that door, it seems like there is a gate lock on the main gate side.
There’s no way I could just stand there.
I guess they’ll vote for the law.
however.
[Oddly enough, nothing happened.]
They said nothing happened.
[No one came to find me.]
They say no one came to visit.
[I heard from Charlotte and Thanos that the atmosphere at the Academy is actually better without you.]
In the end, I burst out laughing.
The teacher, who had been staring at me blankly, asked me a question.
[Aren’t you upset?]
“What is it?”
[What you did was something that someone should have done. Now, the instructors will straighten out their behavior so that the same thing doesn’t happen again, and the children who will be staying at the academy will receive a higher level of education. It will be a natural inevitability because you handled it mercilessly, clearly, and cleanly.]
It’s true from start to finish.
[But, perhaps because they are still children, they don’t seem to understand the hard work you put in.]
Of course, that won’t be all of them.
Still, there must be some smart people who have sound judgment.
The Master is asking me.
Aren’t you upset that your children don’t recognize the hard work you put in?
But since when did I care about that?
“It doesn’t matter.”
Whom I kill, who I save.
I don’t intend to come up with any grand reasons.
“Reviving the Academy, and ensuring that the Academy’s children receive a high-quality education, all of that… … is just my self-satisfaction.”
Yeah, it’s self-satisfaction.

To put it more simply, just do it.
“If I had been after honor, I wouldn’t have killed the two Lords ‘now.’”
[… … .]
Spy war.
Public opinion war.
Is there anything difficult?
Making both Lords public enemies.
I guarantee you that a week will be enough.
If I create that situation and kill the Lord, I will become a hero among heroes and literally gain all the honor there is.
But I didn’t do that.
Because I wasn’t interested.
Than that.

“What does Master think of me?”
[……huh?]
The teacher is flustered by the sudden question.
But that was only for a moment.
[What does it mean?]
He smiled faintly.
I wonder if you took the nuance of the words a little differently.
As expected, you are quick-witted.
“I was asking you how you view the things I’ve done.”
The teacher answered without hesitation.
[Well done. It was something that had to be done, and I’m strangely proud that it was you.]
haha.
“That’s all I need. Other people’s opinions. I don’t care. I just need a teacher.”
Let’s look at the teacher happily, but the teacher slightly averts his gaze.
[and.]
and?
The Master looks into my eyes again.
[I don’t know if you remember, but I’ll say it again. Don’t ever go back to ‘that time’.]
I nodded slowly at the teacher’s firm words.
I have a feeling that when the Master returns to his original form, he will get hit again like before.
ha ha ha.
* * *
I should say the timing was perfect.
While I was chatting with the teacher about this and that, the door suddenly opened.
A little boy with silver short hair standing in front of the door.
Our cell stood there blankly for about ten seconds with its eyes wide open.
And then.
-boss!!
He threw away the towel he was holding and ran towards me.
It was as if the momentum of a magic arrow had been shot.
Phew-
I ended up lying down on the bed because of the guy who rushed at me, but the teacher who saw me like that snickered and stepped aside.
I raised my hand and slowly stroked Cell’s head, which was resting on my chest.
As I watched the back of the guy slowly shaking and my chest getting wet little by little, my little one.
I think I shed more tears than Thanos.
-Boss… …I’m sorry.
Sel, who had been crying for a long time, let out those words as if letting out her pent-up breath.
“What are you sorry about?”
-You were lying down for no reason because of me.
I shook my head and slowly lifted the face of the guy who was burying himself in my chest.

A tear-stained face.
And red, bloodshot eyes.
Furthermore, it looks like he has lost a little weight.
I guess you must have been very worried.
“It was something I had to do at some point, it just happened a little earlier, so why is that your fault?”
-but…….
“Of course, it’s also for your sake.”
Sel looks puzzled at my back-and-forth style of speaking.
“But, that was ultimately because I wanted to do it. If you say it’s your fault, what does that make me? It’s definitely not your fault.”
-… … .
Just as Thanos was impatient, Cell is also impatient.
No one would have thought that I really didn’t know what Cell was thinking.
Cell wants power and revenge.
However, he has no strength, is young, and is small.
When will I get revenge?
When will I be able to go to the two lords and shout at them why they abandoned me?
He used both hands to caress the tear stains on the boy’s eyes.
“Cell.”
-… …Yes, boss.
A smile blooms on the corners of your mouth.
“I told you back then. Come with me.”
When I bring up the story from the basement, the guy nods.
Just as it was when I first met my Master, the moment Cell first saw me was probably a moment he would never forget for the rest of his life.
The moment when someone becomes precious to someone else.
To take that moment lightly is not in my dictionary.
“Those words back then were definitely not said lightly.”
As I said before, I value two words: responsibility.
“You are mine. I would do anything for you.”
This is what I consider responsibility.
I took responsibility for Cell, I took responsibility for Charlotte, and I took responsibility for Thanos.
Because they are my people.
-… … But, it was for my sake that you stopped me from killing the two Lords with my own hands.
The hand that had been caressing the boy’s face stopped.
Is it because our kids are smart?
Wow, you’re quicker than I thought.

“Why do you think so?”
-They abandoned me and threw me into the world as a test subject, but they are still my parents. If I killed them with my own hands, I was worried that it would be hard for me… … They were considerate of me, weren’t they?
Early teens.
It’s an age where you can only call him a child.
But when you see someone’s actions, do you understand the inner workings of those actions, and even the deeper reasons behind them?
Can such a child really be called a child?
Our cell.
You’re all grown up.
“Children killing their parents and parents killing their children, that kind of thing happens quite frequently in this world.”
-… … .
“But there’s a reason why they say blood is thicker than water. In the case of heartless thugs, you wouldn’t feel any guilt, but that’s the case for those thugs, and not you.”
Our cells are good.
Certainly, by my standards, she’s kind enough to be compared to Charlotte.
Even though he knew that the two lords had abandoned him.
Cell felt sympathy for those two lords.
Cell is a really good kid.
When that cell said that he wanted to kill the two lords with his own hands, why did I stop that cell from doing that?
If Cell killed both Lords, there’s a 100% chance Cell would be sad for quite some time.
“This generous boss doesn’t want to see you struggling.”
So I killed it with my own hands.
I really don’t want my kids to have a hard time.
There is silence for a moment.
I’m sure Cell understood what I was trying to say and what I meant.
Because you’re smart.
-I think meeting you, Boss, was the greatest luck in my life.
Cell’s eyes began to tear up again.
delight.
happiness.
The guy just laughs like that.
Uh… … Hey, if you cry and then laugh… … .
As I thought that, the guy hugged me again.
-Thank you, boss.
I patted the guy on the back and said just one thing.
“Okay.”
Time passed like that.
Advertisements
Cell was hugging me tightly as if he wouldn’t let me go, and I kept patting his back.
A minute has passed.
I was stroking Cell’s head.
Five minutes have passed.
I was patting the guy on the back again.
ha.
I’ve felt this before too.
Like Thanos, our little ones seem to have a hard time finishing something once they start it.
How long does this have to go on?
That was when.
The yard guard who was outside came into my room.
(My lord, Gray Cerberus is outside.)
