Episode 219
Jack said.
“If you have a dream, work hard, and if you want to grow further, don’t give up and keep going.”
Jack’s quiet voice echoed everywhere around him.
“There will be a moment when you realize the limits of your talent. Some people will even despair at the limits. But remember this.”
“… … .”
“The traces of the efforts you have made so far will not be erased. The traces of fierce efforts, those traces themselves are very noble. Because a person of that level will shine no matter what he does. Does anyone know that the word ‘magician’ in the past had the etymology of ‘one who helps others’?”
It was quiet.
It was really quiet.
“That’s a wizard. Someone who helps others and develops the world. Don’t give up and keep going. The path will open up.”
A testing room shrouded in silence.
Different class.
A being of another dimension.
The pinnacle of being a wizard.
Everyone realized.
The continent’s strongest swordsman, Heynckes Beckerman, the continent’s strongest warrior, ‘Tem-Samit Ishmael’, or the continent’s strongest magician, ‘Duke Hell’.
These three are considered by everyone to be at the top of the modern world.
And the top one among them is Heynckes Beckermann.
Because Beckerman fought those two and won.
But that was meaningless.
The men who reached the top of this world were not Heynckes Beckermann, Tem-Samit, or Duke Hell.
That man in front of you.
Jack Valantier.
He was on top of the world.
He smiles and asks the examiner.
“So, how much do I score?”
Chapter 10
Was it really that difficult to answer the question of how many points?
In the exam room, which was filled with silence, the examiner did not answer my questions.
I don’t think I could do it, but there was silence for about 30 seconds so I just went outside.
It may be just a feeling, but I think there is silence in the examination room even now.
As I was walking like that, I stumbled without realizing it.
He reached out and touched a tree that happened to be nearby.
Phew.
I took a deep breath.

“Ugh… … Master, I think I’m going to throw up now.”
[… … .]
The teacher said nothing.
When I turned my head, I met the eyes of my teacher who was looking at me with deep eyes.
Those deep eyes.
I’m probably the only one in this world who knows that there’s a feeling of surprise in it.
He just turned his head away.
Suddenly, I see an empty bench nearby.
I walked towards him and slumped down on the bench.
“Phew.”
As I said before, my body is not a body that has finished its growth period.
Since it is not a perfect body, it is natural that it would be difficult to force it to show quadruple casting or quantile casting.
No matter how natural it may be, it is my small body that unfolds it.
Thud- Thud-
A very faint sound.
It’s the sound of the muscles and tiny blood vessels that make up my body bursting little by little.
Then my fingers started to tremble a little.
I absentmindedly searched through my chest, but the potion didn’t come out.
Oh, if I had known this would happen, I would have brought one.
[You… … just when you think you know a little bit, you startle people again.]
“He’s like an onion, isn’t he? Full of charm?”
It was a joke, and he didn’t even respond.
[Not even quadruple, but quantable, and at the end, the Lightning World called 9.5 Circle was unfolded so perfectly. And what about dismantling it? Everything was so perfect that it felt out of place. Amazing. Really amazing. And I feel pathetic.]
Suddenly our teacher starts to reproach himself.
“Pathetic? Who in this world would call a teacher pathetic? Even I can’t do it.”
The teacher shakes his head.
[I have never done quantifiable casting. No, I couldn’t do it. It’s not a matter of mere talent.]
The teacher’s eyes change to one that looks a little pitiful.
[You have trained your magic in countless real battles, risking your life on the line of death.]
I just didn’t say anything.
I couldn’t do it exactly.
Because it was true.

[You said in your previous life that you were not able to control your soul when I died. Is that right?]
“Yes, that’s right.”
[So then you went out into the world in that situation where you could use maximum red mana. You said you immediately took the path of revenge after that… … .]
The Master’s eyes are filled with confidence.
[As a mana user, you fought against those who used the power of the soul. Risking your life at every moment.]
It’s a thing of the past, it’s already gone.
After the Master passed away and I came out of the cave, what exactly did I do, what did I meet, and what did I experience?
Just keep it brief.
That’s all I said, very briefly and in a flowing manner.
Since it is something that never happened in terms of time, I have never mentioned it in detail.
Because there was literally no need to mention it.
Advertisements
But it is natural that the scattered puzzle pieces fit together with the situations that unfold and the words that are occasionally uttered.
As the Master said, I came out of the cave and soon after decided to seek revenge.
The first thing I encountered was the Exile Pantheon.
I was the first to meet that guy who had killed three dragons at the time and was called the Dragon Slayer and was the crown prince’s closest confidant.
At that time, I was the owner of red mana and fought Exile who was using the spirit, and I even received a scout offer from Exile to ‘come under His Majesty’.
Of course, what I said at that time was ‘f*ck it’, and I cut down dozens of high-circle mana users on the spot.
Exile, who had been watching me blankly, decided to capture me and take me away, and he pushed me forward without using his own strength.
If I were to elaborate a little, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to say that ‘the fight was quite fierce’?
To be honest, I almost died on the spot.
If I concentrated all the red mana into my right arm and clashed my sword with Exile, I could have achieved some level of equality, but my opponent was a Half-Blood.
He took advantage of my opening, and as I said before, we fought very fiercely, and I barely managed to bite his neck while suffering fatal injuries, including a ruptured lung, a torn right arm, and a dagger embedded in my ear, cheek, and collarbone.
At that time, about ten teeth were broken.
barely.
We won by a narrow margin.
I realized my shortcomings and tried to awaken my spirit.
But how could that be easy?
I had the feeling, but it took time.
But the pursuers were after me, and I had no choice but to train the weapons I had.
That’s how it was completed.
Every day was a battle between life and death, and I won those countless battles where one misstep would mean certain death.
By overlapping and unfolding Meteor and overlapping Lightning World, I also completed the Fusion Magic that overlaps Hurricane and Lightning World.
That’s how I always achieved and always cut the throats of my enemies.
That’s the power I gained.
The reason why I was able to say that I was at the top of the world at the age of 34 was because I had that kind of experience supporting me from below.
He laughed bashfully.
“It’s nothing. It wasn’t that hard.”
The teacher simply nodded slightly at my words, which were slightly mixed with lies.
It is a memory that only I know in this world, and the Master knows that I would rather not mention such things if possible.
I sat on the bench and looked up at the sky.
Looking up.
I really want to look up without caring about anything.
I just turned my head away because I felt the gaze from the side.
Not the master sitting on my right shoulder.
The other side.
So, left by my standards.

There was another woman sitting on the bench besides me.
Blurry body.
A ‘something’ that neither Manado nor Innate Wisdom can feel.
I call this the thought of the dead.
corpse.
More precisely, the spirit of the dead.
To put it simply, it’s just a ghost.
I didn’t even say this.
The world I see is a world that others cannot even dream of.
If you look at it gloomily, it’s gloomy, and if you look at it positively, it’s positive, but I guarantee you that no one would want to see a world like this.
I asked that thought.
“Why do you keep staring at me?”
{……yes?}
“Huh? What is it? Why do you keep staring at me? Is this your first time seeing a living person?”
Thought body.
The woman with long hair and wearing an all-black academy uniform asks me with a blank expression.
{Can I see it?}
“Oh, honestly, I was surprised too.”
I’ve seen a lot of ghosts in my life, but it’s been a really long time since I’ve seen one like this.
Distinctive shape.
A ghost that doesn’t harbor any great grudge or anything, and is still sane.
If we have to categorize it, it would be better to call it ‘Ji-bak-ryeong’.
And I’ve only seen a ghost twice in my life.
If you include this girl in front of you, that’s three times in total.
“Your face looks unfamiliar. You don’t look like a student I was when I was attending the academy. What are you doing here if you haven’t become a Buddha?”
{… … You really can see me.}
Oh, really.
“There’s no way I’m talking to myself like this, rhythmically, like I’m crazy. Why haven’t I become a Buddha?”
{… … I don’t know.}
Pick, I ended up laughing.
From my many experiences, I can assure you that ghosts are not created for nothing.
It is natural for those who die while holding a grudge to become ideological entities or quietly disappear from that place.
However, when the resentment is diluted and the person regains his or her senses, the thought form usually attains Buddhahood there.
But sometimes, when I have that brief moment of realization that I really have to do this or see this, that thought becomes a ghost.
Of all the types of ghosts, this woman is simply a possessed spirit.
Advertisements
So, it doesn’t make sense for this woman to say she didn’t know.
Because you can only become a ghost if you are aware of it yourself.
And such a ghost will naturally attain Buddhahood soon.
It disappears regardless of the ‘conditions’ that were realized before becoming a ghost.
This is called natural enlightenment.
It just takes time to become a Buddha.
It’s probably not a word registered in the dictionary. I made it up.
In fact, the flow of the world is more mysterious than you think, so something like an ideology cannot exist in this world for long.
Because that space must be taken by Mana or another energy.
anyway.
“If you don’t want to talk, then don’t worry. It looks like you’ll be fine. Just stay quiet and become a Buddha.”
It was at that moment that I was about to get up from my seat.
{excuse me…….}
“why?”
{… … Could you please stay by my side for a little while?}
I looked at the teacher sitting on my shoulder for a moment.
What I see, others may not know, but the Master knows.
The teacher nodded quietly, and only then did I sit down on the bench again.
I feel like taking a break and killing some time.
Honestly, this isn’t so bad.
I was already exhausted from trying to keep my composure.
{thank you.}
The ghost smiles very brightly.
I looked at that smile and shrugged my shoulders slightly.
So, what’s your story?
