Episode 256
Only then did Benedict realize the situation and swallow his saliva.
Actually, not all people in the world are stupid.
When I blew up something bigger than I thought.
For example, when the punitive force was annihilated, or when the mercenaries of the Marquis were annihilated.
At that time, I was lying in bed for several days.
It is known to the public that they are training or resting, but how many people really believe that?
Anyone who knows me knows that I’ve lost my mind.
And Benedict is a master belonging to the Continental Battlefield.
There’s no way I wouldn’t know.
And there’s no way I wouldn’t know that it’s now.
“Something definitely happened.”
I waved my hand roughly.
Since I have to level up the circle anyway, I should just do it all at once.
and.
“I haven’t told anyone else about this either.”
“… … .”
“It was after I learned black magic that I started seeing it.”
“What is it?”
“Other people’s desires. That kind of thing.”
Benedict just kept his mouth shut.
“You’re lonely because there are no children who use archery. You want to raise disciples. You want to show those who look down on archery that the bow is more useful than the sword. You want to shout it out to the world, don’t you?”
“… … .”
“I asked, and they said no.”
Benedict looked around, looked at his bow, looked at his arrows, and answered:
“That’s right. I want to shout that. I want to shout that to the whole world. You’re so… … so accurate.”
I closed my eyes and settled into a comfortable position.
Not a fighting stance, but a stance for training mana.
He spoke slowly in that state.
“As I said before, I trust myself the most. My judgment? I’ve never doubted it. And that’s my judgment right now. The only one who can protect me right now is you, Benedict, not Blanc or our little ones.”
“… … .”
“The Continental Battlefield can’t make your dreams come true. But I can. So protect me. Expand your senses so that no one can enter within a 1km radius.”
I opened my eyes just like that.
“Dominate, control, and observe. You are the only person in the world right now who can make your dreams come true… .”
There was a pause.

Because Benedict’s eyes were trembling slightly.
I don’t know what I felt or what emotion it was.
So I tried to ignore it and continued speaking.
“I got a chance to help. It won’t take long. How about it, Cole?”
Benedict slowly reached out his hand with a hardened face.
His hands were on his quiver, holding a quiver of arrows, some magical, some steel.
About 20 arrows are planted in the ground, one by one.
Pok- pok- pok- pok- pok.
I just had this thought.
They all seem to have different uses, but what would Benedict look like if he went into battle holding them?
hmm.
Then the guy takes out his bow.
“I’m a little jealous.”
“what?”
“I really envy you for being able to trust your own judgment so much, and for being able to perceive other people’s desires so clearly.”
Benedict, holding his bow, slowly spreads his energy around him.
“I am ready. Whether it be a few hours, a day, or two days, I will protect you here.”
That was enough.
I closed my eyes again and drew up my mana.
Kukugugu-!!
The surroundings turned blue and mana rose into the air like a current.
It wasn’t a long time.
I am.
In an instant, I fell into a state of no-mind.

Circle and mana.
To the average person, it may seem incredibly complicated and mysterious.
But for Mana users, it was a little different.
The circle was simple, and mana was simpler.
Those who can handle mana better have higher circles.
This is the truth, the simple truth.
Since the Age of Glory, not hundreds of years ago, all races have studied mana.

We studied it like that and a lot of things were discovered.
This may have been something that should have been mentioned at least once.
All the masters, including Heynckes Beckermann, who is considered the pinnacle of the modern world, and Tem-Samit Ismael, had one thing in common.

That’s when I started learning Mana, when I was 14 years old.
There was not a single exception to this.
If so, why?
Why on earth would you learn mana at 14?
Why don’t we learn it at 10, 11, or 12 years old?
It’s simple.
brain.
It is because of the brain, the central organ of the human body.
Human brain development usually ends around the age of 13 or 14.
In some cases, growth begins as early as 12 years of age, but most complete growth occurs in the late 13s, or before 14s.
That’s why I’m 14.
Those who dream of becoming a Mana user learn Mana when they are at least 14 years old.
So the starting point for most Mana users is the same.
For example, someone who starts learning Mana at the age of 11 will never become a master, no matter how talented they are.
This is because the circles engraved on the body were created without properly resonating with the brain.
There were so many examples, and it was an established truth, so no one doubted it.
Jack doesn’t doubt it either.
That’s why Elizabeth, who became a 7th circle mana user at the age of 18, is called an unbelievable genius.
And those who have completed the 5th circle at the age of 17 are also geniuses.
Because the average age of forming a 5th circle is around 25 years old.
The younger you are, the higher the circle.
It’s no wonder he’s called a genius.
And now, all of these so-called geniuses who participated in the Academy Wars raised their heads at the same time.
Woohoo-!!
The flow of mana is ridiculous.
what’s this?
Among them was Torreira.
That direction.
It wasn’t hard to guess.
That was the hotel where the Milos Academy students stayed.
The instructors who had suddenly woken up were equally confused.
But an instructor is an instructor.
“Don’t make a fuss!”
The instructors of the Cradle Kingdom ended up sweating profusely all night.
This was something that happened commonly in all academies.

That was when.
A student opened the window and looked outside and said,
“I… … Instructor?”
“why?”
“Look outside.”
An instructor’s gaze shifted to the sight of the student pointing out the window with his finger.
And I could see it.
“……oh my god.”
All the students looked out the window at the one word that literally summarized the words, ‘I was very surprised just now.’
and.
“and…….”
Everyone burst into applause.
That’s understandable, because outside the window, a huge banquet made of mana was unfolding.
An unheard, unseen, and unprecedented event.
Mana.
If a living being with its own will were to fly through the air, wouldn’t it look like that?
It was very bright and splendid, like a worldly light illuminating the night sky.
So much so that everyone was mesmerized by it.
* * *
Jack was a man who was an exception to ‘common sense’.
To him, mana was more familiar than air, and the power of the soul was the same.
The problem is the body.
It was just that her young 14-year-old body was continuously preventing her from unleashing that power.
There were two options Jack could take to solve that problem.
The first is to just wait leisurely until the body’s growth is complete.
Second, by forcibly raising the circle, the body is also forced to grow.
Originally, Jack had no other answer than the first option.
But when an attempt was made to extend Valentine’s lifespan.
When the body was forcibly grown to a 34 year old.
That’s when a second option arose.
So that’s what I tried.
As Jack himself said before, Jack is a practical person.
The results were unfolding before my eyes.
It was night, but there was not a single cloud in the sky.
And there.

Kwarrrrrrrrrr-!!
A loud noise was ringing out.
The sound was like thunder, like the greatest thunder ever heard.
Benedict found himself looking up at the sky.
In the cloudless sky, blue mana was rising on the air currents.
That alone was spectacular, but that mana is also making a loud noise as it rides the air current.
Out of the ordinary.
An unprecedented event.
Kwarrrrung-!!
Following the unstoppable roar, the mana from the sky began to slowly descend.
It was around that time that the loud noise stopped.
A huge current of mana enveloped Jack’s body, and Jack’s body was hidden by the current and could not be seen.
but.
Boom!
Knock knock-!
The strange noise continued to ring.
Benedict asked the doll that was now sitting on his shoulder in a small voice.
“Is your Majesty all right?”
[well.]
Benedict doesn’t know exactly what Jack is up to now.
I just know that you’re raising the circle.
But it wasn’t Valentine’s Day.
[It’s clear that they’re trying to do something that no one has ever tried before, but strangely enough, I’m not worried.]
“… … .”
[From what I’ve learned so far, my disciple doesn’t act unless he’s ‘sure’ about something. So watch. From now on.]
Valentine’s eyes looked straight into Benedict’s eyes.
[I will be your boss.]
Benedict laughed awkwardly.
Actually, I didn’t mention it, but Jack’s status at Milos Academy was more enormous than I thought.
This is not a story about little kids who were burning with jealousy.
Mana users on the continental battlefield.
It was a story about the Mana users who were dispatched as instructors.
Jack Valantier.
Not only is his strength incredible, but his wealth is also enormous, and his ability to create artifacts is also amazing.
Not only that, he’s also smart.
He will be the center of the world and whatever he does will be continental.
I feel sorry for the owner, Roland, but if given the choice of either joining Jack’s or Roland’s men, everyone, without exception, would choose Jack.
That opportunity came to Benedict.
‘I need to think about what I should say to the owner in advance.’

A new department is created at Milos Academy, which is turning into the center of the world.
Archery department.
The dean of that department.
It’s so attractive.
That was when.
Benedict’s sensibilities were beginning to rub off on him.
The distance is about 3km.
It wasn’t about wandering around.
There were clearly people who had pinpointed the origin of the mana that was causing chaos in all directions.
If not, there’s no way he would be running so fast into this sparsely populated mountain.
Benedict slowly picked up his arrow amidst the numerous sounds.
An arrow with a blunt tip and yellow feathers.
This was no ordinary arrow.
An arrow engraved with the 6th circle magic, Lightning Night.
This is a magic spell engraved by none other than Benedict himself.
He shot it towards the spot where he felt presence.
Phew-
Bam-!
Next.
Phage crackle-!!
The surrounding area was dyed yellow.
About 50 mana users in front.
There were also students and instructors from other kingdoms’ academies.
And countless others followed suit.
A man’s voice rings in their ears.
“1km. I allow a distance of exactly 1km. If you come closer, I will pierce your throat without warning.”
Everyone stopped in their tracks.
“Listen, everyone. My name is Benedict. I am an instructor at Milos Academy and the head of the soon-to-be-founded Archery Department. Please, make a wise choice.”
Benedict’s cold voice resonated throughout the surroundings.
In that voice.
Everyone had an inkling.
Oh, that guy is serious.
There can be no exception to that.
Even though Benedict received less attention than others, he was a capable man.
Beginner Master.
Advertisements
This was clearly not a level that could be easily ignored.
That’s why those who heard his warning couldn’t close the 1km distance.
They had no choice but to comfort him.
“It’s a wise choice.”
The fact that Benedict, who is talking like that, is a master.
