Episode 258
* * *
In my past life, I worked hard.
To have power.
To get revenge.
To change me.
The experience I gained in this way is giving me strength even at this moment.
It felt like dozens of hours, but in reality it was probably around 6 hours.
The bones meshed together without rest, the blood vessels widened, and the entire body grew slightly larger.
After that, I slowly opened my eyes.
The mana I had summoned was now motionless in the sky.
Around me.
It wrapped around me exactly and circled me.
If you look at it broadly, it’s like the eye of a typhoon.
In the middle of it all, I cleared my throat.
First of all, you have to observe your own body.
Slowly clench and unclench your fist.
I tried jumping around lightly on the spot and even swinging my arms.
Height: about 178cm.
Weight: 69kg.
My arms have gotten longer, my legs have gotten longer, and my organs feel stronger.
Bones, needless to say.
Crucially the circle.
There were exactly eight circles spinning around my heart.
Slowly stop rotating.
I clenched my fist.
Okay then.
Kookung-!!
All the mana around me, the mana that had made me the eye of the storm, was all gone.
It happened so quickly.
In the middle of it all, I took a step.
The first thing I see is Benedict looking at me with his longbow loaded with arrows hanging down.
I took a quick step towards him and made the Master, who was sitting on his shoulders, sit on my shoulders again.
“How is it? Isn’t the private seat a little wider?”
My teacher laughed at my laughter too.

[His shoulders were already broad compared to his peers, but they have definitely gotten wider.]
I turned my head.
Beyond Benedict, hundreds of people can be seen.
These people are just looking at this place from a distance of about 1km.
hmm.
“Is there anything interesting to see?”
“… … .”
I finally asked, but no one answered.
Oh, really.
“Benedict.”
“Yes… … Yes, Your Majesty.”
He put his arm around Benedict’s shoulder and spoke as if to tell him to listen.
“I thought the preliminaries started today, am I mistaken?”
“No. The preliminaries are starting today.”
“Then those people are weird. They must have a lot to prepare, right?”
Benedict laughed bitterly.
Then, as if everyone suddenly realized something, they hurriedly left their seats.
In that place where only the two of them were left, he spoke first.
“great job.”
“It’s nothing. I’m telling you this because I thought you might not know, but it’s been about 7 hours. It’s about 6:00 AM now. And.”
“and?”
Benedict’s eyes began to tremble slightly.
To be exact, I’ve been shaking since a while ago.
“… … Congratulations on becoming the youngest high-circle mana user on the continent. It’s not even 7th circle, it’s 8th circle, I think. Wow, I still don’t understand it even after looking at it. Is this possible?”
I don’t know how to explain it.
Because this is a slightly different concept.
“I’ve seen people who grow quickly, but I’ve never seen anyone who grew their body while increasing their circle. If I reported this to the academic world, they’d burn like firewood.”
Pick laughed and tapped Benedict on the shoulder.
“Even if I tell you, you won’t understand. But.”
“But?”
“Have you eaten?”
There’s probably a smile engraved on the corner of my mouth.

Benedict also laughed at that laughter.
“It’s a meal.”
then.
“Let’s go eat. I think it would be great to hear about the vision of the Archery Department while eating. What do you think?”

Benedict grinned.
“I didn’t plan for this, but I feel like I have a lot to talk about.”
“okay?”
“Yes. You probably won’t regret it.”
* * *
My condition was excellent and I felt good.
Vaguely.
I can really get a vague idea of it.
Transcending time, or more precisely, beating causality.
Should I say that I only see a vague shape before my eyes?
So I just feel good.
I felt good even while having a very constructive conversation with Benedict.
Even when he asked Benedict to sign up for today’s preliminary round, the smile never disappeared from his lips, even up until the moment he asked Thanos to be placed at the very end of the preliminary round.
Benedict tilted his head as he left his seat.
The teacher, who could not stand to watch, asked.
[Why have you been laughing so pointlessly since earlier?]
just.
“I feel good.”
[hmm.]
He shrugged and took out the communication device.
Let’s enter number 11 at the same time.
{Master?}
Aveiro appears.
“Nothing happened?”
{Yes, there wasn’t. But… … .}
Aveiro paused for a moment, tilted his head, and then continued speaking.
{My lord, has something happened to you?}
“why?”
{It looks like you’ve lost a little weight.}
“okay?”
{Yes. I think your jawline has become a bit sharper, and your baby fat too.}
Without saying a word, Aveiro bursts into laughter.
{You’ve lost some of your baby fat. If someone saw you, they’d think you were 16 or 17, not 14.}
Certainly Aveiro has great observation skills.
just.
“You mean you’ve become more handsome?”
{Yeah… … right.}

He smiled faintly and then got straight to the point.
I’m thinking of creating a new archery department.
I will appoint Benedict as the head of the archery department and ask him to recruit new instructors.
And since you have a new family member, I hope you are doing well.
After summarizing it very briefly and summarizing it in three lines, I told it to Aveiro right away.
{Archery School… … Yes, I understand. I will finish all preparations before the lord arrives at Teslan.}
That was enough.
I just leaned my back against the tree.
“What happened with the suppression of the bandits?”
{Well, first of all, the suppression is going well without any problems so far. As reported about an hour ago, about 30 bandit groups stationed within the Teslan Kingdom have been wiped out, and the number of bandits is about 10,000.}
“Really? I took Blanc out of that for a bit, but there were no problems?”
{Yes, Death Knight was enough.}
He nodded slightly and said.
“Yes. You’ve worked hard, and you’ll work even harder in the future.”
{insect!}
Should I say the timing was perfect?
Thanos arrived as soon as the communication was cut off.
I told you last night to be here by 8:00 tomorrow morning, so I guess it’s 8:00 now since you’re here?
“What about food?”
“I ate.”
“How’s your condition?”
“great.”
“Then let’s get started… … .”
I stopped talking.
Because our Thanos handed us a small bundle-like thing wrapped in something from his bosom.
As soon as I received it and opened it, I burst out laughing.
“I know you haven’t eaten. I prepared some separately… … .”
There was a rice ball inside the bundle.
A whopping 7 of them.
Each one is bigger than my fist, so wouldn’t seven of these be almost like seven bowls of rice?
There’s no way my stomach and Thanos’ stomach are the same.
still.
He reached out and patted Thanos’ head.
You punk.
I had a meal with Benedict at a nearby noodle house before you came, but you didn’t know.

“Anyway, thank you. And did you eat, Inma?”
Naturally, Thanos tilted his head like Aveiro.
My lord, you seem to have suddenly grown taller. Your jawline seems to have become a little more defined… …etc.
It was obvious that he was going to say something like that, so I just waved my hand.
“Aren’t you curious?”
“yes?”
“Why did I call you here? Why did you and I end up here alone when all the Academy kids went to the plaza to register for the preliminary rounds in the morning? Aren’t you curious?”
Thanos nodded.
“It’s natural to be curious. But I trust you. I believe that if you do something, there must be a reason for it, and even if there is no reason, if you say so, I can follow whatever it is.”
I didn’t look at that sight with satisfaction or anything.
Because that’s a really dangerous idea.
When I tell you to do something, do you follow it unconditionally even if there is no reason?
What if the order was to rape an innocent girl?
Thanos is saying he’s following through.
First of all, I didn’t point it out.
Let’s do it all at once later.
“I won’t tell you twice, so open your ears and listen carefully.”
“I will listen.”
first of all.
“You have reached your limit as a mana user.”
It started with facts from the first sentence.
“Circle 4, that was the limit I expected you to have, and now you’re at Circle 4. Growing beyond that? It’s impossible. That’s because your blood vessels are narrow. Because the shock you received in the past completely destroyed your blood vessels.”
“… … .”
“Shocking, huh? But you felt it too. The shock of your Mana Circle being completely destroyed when you were young severely limited your growth.”
“… … Yes, I felt it.”
I approached the guy stealthily.
“I will restore your blood vessels to the state they were in before they were damaged. To be exact, I will restore them.”
Thanos’s eyes widened, his already large eyes widening even further.
“Is that… … possible?”
When I first met Thanos, I said clearly.
Whether the guy has Mana’s talent or not, it doesn’t matter since he met me.
That’s not just empty words.
“If the strongest prosecutor on the continent is only 4 circles, even a passing dog would laugh at him, Inma.”
“… … .”
“First, take a deep breath.”

Thanos’ condition was not normal.
I should say I was really excited.
The guy keeps gasping for breath.
I waited for a moment.
* * *
How should I explain it?
The time I spent in the Kingdom of Teslan has already been over four years.
For those four years, every day was hell for Thanos.
laugh?
Honestly, I never smiled for a single moment before I met Jack and Sel and Charlotte.
I couldn’t laugh.
There was either sympathy or contempt from those around him, and not a single person took his side.
Oh, there was one.
General Rommel.
He was the only one who helped me and I met Jack.
When I first heard that the limit was 4 circles, if it were anyone else, they would have gotten angry and thought, “Why me? Did I see something wrong? Did I have a thorn in my eye? I only have 4 circles?” But Thanos did not.
Because I knew better.
It might have been okay before the circle was destroyed, but it was after it was destroyed.
For four years, I endured a tingling pain that felt like an electric current was running through my entire body every time I raised my mana.
however.
But… … So now I don’t have to do that?
Can you restore your blood vessels?
It was Jack, none other than Jack, who swore to serve, who spoke.
then.
It can be done.
Thanos was furious.
How can I ever repay this favor?
You are such a wonderful person.
I closed my eyes and tried to control my emotions as best I could.
It hasn’t recovered yet.
Jack is trying to do something.
So let’s get ready.
Taking several deep breaths, Thanos opened his eyes.
Jack said to the calmed Thanos.
“Have you heard of something called a mana transplant?”
