Episode 259
* * *
Thanos appeared to have calmed down.
So, let’s get straight to the point.
“Have you heard of something called a mana transplant?”
“Yes, I have heard of it.”
The task of high-circle mana users forcibly creating circles by sticking to low-circle mana users.
That’s a mana transplant surgery.
It is also called a circle transplant surgery, but to be precise, it is a mana transplant surgery, as it forcibly injects mana to a level that the subject cannot use.
There have been many examples.
It was a case where the scoundrel of the Hermann family that I had killed before forcibly grew the Circle through a mana transplant surgery, and it was also a case where my beloved brother, our Peylon Valanti, who is probably in heaven right now and chatting with that old man, Count Mantis or Count Panties, also forcibly grew the Circle through a mana transplant surgery.
As I said before, mana transplant surgery can be easily raised from circle 3 to circle 4.
Usually, those who have received mana transplant surgery pour everything they have into it and somehow manage to make at least 5 circles and at most 6 circles, but the problem comes after that.
A circle forcibly created by colliding with various manas.
The more it is practiced, the more it collides with itself and slowly rots from within.
What happens to the rotten circle?
It’s simple.
The circle breaks apart and eventually becomes nothing but remnants.
When one breaks, the other will soon break as well, and over time, most of the mana will break.
In other words, a vicious cycle is repeated.
So, those who created a circle through mana transplant surgery tend to use the circle less as they age.
Because the more you use it, the more the circle rots.
So, the heads of the noble families formed about six circles and just stayed in their rooms.
It’s not for nothing that we invite and recruit other mana users.
That’s the problem.
The mana transplant surgery was originally a derivative of the ‘blood vessel healing technique’ that was created to help those with broken mana circles rehabilitate, but the idiots of this world did not understand this at all.
Of course, it’s not that I don’t understand.
Why bother when there’s an easy way to get it?
Even if the circle rots due to that side effect, it won’t affect me. I’m different from others. With that groundless thought, I receive a mana transplant and end up not being treated as a mana user and just rotting away in a small room.
That’s what the idiots who got mana transplants are saying now.
The reason I kept mumbling about this is…
“From now on, I will try both ‘Vessel Expansion’ and ‘Vessel Treatment’ on you at the same time.”
“……yes?”
“Ask questions later, listen now.”
Thanos straightens his posture.

“I never said anything, but your body’s mana sensitivity is higher than you think. The problem is that your blood vessels are narrow and you’re in shock, so you can’t develop any further.”
As the situation showed, Thanos was not without talent.
There’s no need to go too far.
Because the guy can easily try out the Rigid Technique.
That was definitely an area of talent.
The problem is still one.
“Bloodline. This is the real problem.”
“… … .”
“I know this is a long story, but I know this. From what I can see, you first began to practice mana when you were about 12 years old. Is that correct?”
“Yes, that’s right. I first learned Mana when I was 12.”
“It’s normal to learn mana at the age of 14. Do you know that?”
“……yes.”
“I think I have a rough idea why you learned Mana at the age of 12. You probably grew quickly physically. You were bigger and taller than your peers, so you probably didn’t think it was necessary to wait until you were 14, and you started right away. If you had continued to train Mana without any problems, then.”
Thanos gulps.
“I would never have become a master.”
You would be surprised.
Yeah, it’s natural to be surprised.
Because it’s probably something you’ve never thought of before.
Just as we were about to get to the main point, Thanos raised his hand.
“My lord.”
“why?”
“Can I ask you something?”
“What is it?”
Thanos asked with a puzzled expression and a serious tone.
“If one has to learn Mana at the age of 14 when the brain has finished growing in order to become a Master, then Charlotte and Cell… … Well, I’m being very careful about what I say, but is it possible that those two can’t become Masters?”
I wondered why this question wasn’t asked.
It’s a question that should have been asked, and the answer is simple.
“I usually try not to say things like this, but since it’s come up, I’ll say it. Cell doesn’t fit that description. To be exact, ‘dragons’ aren’t limited by the resonance between their brains and mana. As you know, dragons are the strongest life forms on earth.”
Innate differences, differences of race.
That is the privilege of being the strongest life form that receives Mana’s love.
So dragons don’t fall into that category.
Even if they learn Mana from the age of 1, they will naturally become masters.

The problem of resonance is simply a problem for other races who imitate and use the magic and mana created by dragons.
In some ways, this may seem very unfair.
When Mana users are ranking, they often say that it’s an innate talent, but dragons can’t be included in that category.

Since the difference is on a whole other level, I would say it wasn’t a competition in the first place.
“And Charlotte, unlike Cell, Charlotte is a little different. Even if she can use something called Pianhua and use monstrous powers, the resonance problem definitely applies to Charlotte too.”
“… … .”
“But who am I? Would I have taught Charlotte Mana without even thinking about that? Of course not. People like me aren’t called ‘Transcendents’ for nothing. I’m called Transcendent because I’ve transcended Mana, and there’s nothing I don’t know about Transcendent Mana. There’s no problem I can’t solve.”
Even when Charlotte kept throwing tantrums and causing a lot of little trouble, I didn’t stop feeding her my blood.
The reason is similar to the current Thanos.
okay.
“Let’s stop the small talk and get to the main point. From now on, I’m going to forcibly increase the width, length, and number of your blood vessels. I’m going to attempt that. Now, here’s the problem. Will this be easy?”
Thanos shakes his head with a hardened face.
Yeah, this can’t be easy.
“First, I’ll stabilize the narrowed and torn blood vessels with ‘Blood Vein Treatment’, and then I’ll expand the size of the blood vessels with ‘Blood Vein Expansion’. Then, I’ll create one more circle with the ‘circle remnants’ left in your body. Of course, there will be no side effects. It’s different from the mana transplant surgery. Now, let’s see again. We’re going to go through this process. Will it be easy?”
It was an extension of the previous question.
Thanos shakes his head again.
“It would be nonsense if there was no pain in breaking established limits.”
“That’s right. Others will never succeed. They’ll faint and give up halfway through. But you can.”
Thanos, who had been listening to me silently, asks in a serious voice.
“Effort… is it?”
“To be exact, your mental power was created through your own efforts. I believe in that. As a side note, why did I create a ‘magic circle’ and put you in it?”
“… … .”
“Surely you thought I should just train in there, fight my past self and learn swordsmanship, and then I’ll grow well?”
“… … To be honest, yes, I thought so.”
He smiled faintly and tapped the guy on the shoulder.
“That’s part of the reason, but it was more for this moment.”
“yes?”
“There’s a reason why all the blood vessel expansion techniques and such were put to waste. I wanted you to become more accustomed to pain. That way, you can recover the talent of mana you’ve lost.”
“… … My lord.”
In sports terms, this is called a build-up.
“The process of restoring blood vessels is never smooth. As I said before, normal people just faint or die. I think you’re ready now, Thanos.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“I believe in you, but do you believe in yourself?”
Thanos nods without a moment’s hesitation.
“Yes, I believe it.”
Okay then.
“Let’s get started right away.”
Thanos, who was quick-witted, sat down on the spot, and I went behind him.

Then I slowly relaxed.
I lightly stretched, turned my neck from side to side, and drew in mana to circulate it.
okay.
“Let me emphasize this again. It will be painful and heartbreaking. But endure it. And adapt. Don’t say you can’t adapt. Adapt no matter what. Are you ready?”
Thanos said through gritted teeth.
“Yes. Please begin right away. I will live up to your expectations, my lord.”
This is okay too.
“Close your eyes.”
Thanos closes his eyes.
“Take a deep breath, just one breath. Slowly circulate the mana through your body.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he put his hand on the guy’s back.
Then it feels like this.
The blood vessels in Thanos’ body, and even the mana that flows through them.
It’s pictured in my head.
The number of blood vessels in the guy.
Width of the blood vessel.
Which parts are torn and which parts are glowing like boils?
Which part of the blood vessel is dead?
I felt it all.
And then I remembered.
I lightly hit the guy on the back with my right hand.
“Gather your mana and grit your teeth.”
There is no need to warn you again, as we have already warned you many times before.
Naturally.
A black aura rose up naturally from my hand and was absorbed into Thanos’ body.
at the same time.
“Ugh!!”
Thanos’ scream, which seemed to be in considerable pain, echoed through the forest.
I feel a little sorry to say this, but
Hold on.
If you endure, blessings will come.

Duke Panamero returned to his residence in a daze.
“Your Majesty, are you alright?”
I really didn’t feel like saying anything.

No.
There was a lot to say.
The problem was that there were too many.
Boom-!
Panamero shouts as he slams the desk.
“Tem-Samit, you idiot!”
The knight in front of him hurriedly looked around.
Fortunately, no one heard, but that wasn’t the problem.
“Is his brain filled with muscles? This idiot… … .”
Panamero’s two eyes opened wide.
“You’re trying to ruin the country.”
The knight couldn’t stop the Panamero from muttering softly, “You little muscle pig.”
I just spread my mana, isolating the surrounding area, and trying my best to keep the sound from escaping.
After about five minutes, the six-letter words swept through Panamero’s residence.
Only then was the knight able to hear normal speech.
“Right now, gather together all the nobles who are on ‘our side,’ including Toronto.”
Our side.
It’s simple.
Nobles from the ‘former’ Ishmael Council.
They severed ties with the Tulcan Empire, but did not break off the ties they had formed along the way.
That is, they share secrets with each other, and that becomes another sign of their intimacy, establishing them as another force within the kingdom.
The head of the organization, which went by the name of the Ishmael Committee, was Panamero, and he had now made his decision.
“If we can’t do it alone, we have no choice but to join forces.”
No matter how much of a prime minister he is, he is still just a nobleman.
But if that number increases.
If they multiply and ask to execute Jack Valantier at the same time.
Samit cannot be ignored.
Because that’s politics.
“And tell this to the queen and the concubines.”
Samit’s first wife and three concubines.
They were all within reach of the Panamero.
To be exact, the queen is Panamero’s daughter and the three concubines are people Panamero personally selected from around the kingdom based solely on their appearance.
The article asked.
“What should I say?”
“Samit has no interest in wars to expand his territory. No one knows that. But.”

Panamero lifts his head and his eyes shine.
“Once the board is set and everything is ready, it will shake a little.”
The knight was quick-witted.
“So you’re trying to give Tem-Samit a role that will instill new desires in him?”
Panamero nodded.
