Episode 272
I finally got my appetite back. Ugh.
It’s surprising, but someone as good as the Red Master is usually much quicker on the uptake than these guys.
He just turned his head away.
I met the eyes of my teacher who was looking at me.
“Are you curious about what kind of relationship you and I had in our past lives?”
[… … .]
“If you want, I can tell you everything. But.”
[however?]
“I personally want to start fresh.”
[Starting anew?]
“I think it would be inappropriate to tell you everything about what it was like in my past life and what happened to me.”
[Inappropriate?]
“Yes. That is just something from another world that even you, Master, have never experienced. The Master in my memories is the same as the Master you see before me now, but he is a different person.”
Same but different.
There could not have been a more appropriate word.
The teacher in my memories and the teacher now are the same person, but they are also different people.
Because the first button was different, the first meeting was different, and the ending was different.
[So that’s why you said you were starting anew. I want to reestablish a new relationship and develop it anew… … I want to change the ending of you and me in our previous life… … In order to do that.]
The teacher paused for a moment, then picked up his glass and took a small sip.
[You don’t want to talk? If you talk, you’re substituting the ‘me’ in your memory for the ‘me’ of the present, so you’re not respecting the two selves… … Is that what you’re saying?]
He nodded.
Then the teacher nodded as if he understood.
[I guess I made you worry by saying something unnecessary. I’m sorry.]
He shook his head. Rather.
“I’m sorry. I made you worry.”
She smiled naturally and clinked the milk in her hand with the teacher’s glass.
Then he raised his glass towards Samit.
“I’m sorry for taking my anger out on you. As you know, I have a bit of a bad temper. I guess you could say I have a bit of a harsh aftertaste.”
Samit, who was grinning, lifted his glass and clinked it with mine.
“If you mean the aftermath, are you talking about that time when I threatened you in the carriage?”
“That’s right. But don’t worry about it. It’ll get better as time goes by. But come to think of it, I’ve been treating you badly lately. Hmm, why did I do that? After all, you’re the king of a country.”
Samit, who had downed a shot of alcohol, blurted out the words in a flowing tone.
“That must be because the king was not being kingly.”
He shook his head.
That’s not it.
As I stared blankly at Samit, I realized something.
“In your previous life, you shouldn’t have died so meaninglessly.”
“… … .”
“You are more of a warrior than a king. I wish you would stop worrying about politics and just continue to train yourself.”
“If I had done so?”
“I might end up using the ‘Black Mana’ I write. Within about 5 years.”

The restaurant becomes quiet.
Breaking the silence, Samit asked.
“You were talking about past lives, past lives, all this time. Why don’t you explain that first?”
He laughed silently.
“Who the hell are you?”
He picked up the meat and put it in his mouth.
Well, well.
It’s delicious.
Then he slammed the fork down on the table.
“Who am I?”
“… … A vision and an atmosphere that cannot be had at a young age. And strength. 14 years old? 15 years old? They say that there are geniuses in the world, but you are not one of them. Of course, you are a genius. However, a genius is ultimately influenced by the common sense of the world and society in which he exists. However.”
Samit, out of breath, continued speaking slowly.
“I can’t transcend everything like you. Who the hell are you, or rather, who are you?”
Should I say it’s been a while?
I think a lot of people overlook this. I’m leaving.
“I came from the future, about 20 years in the future. Should I say I regressed?”
“……return?”
“Oh, so that’s me. A regressor.”
Samit put his glass down on the table and showed quite an interesting reaction.
First, he sweeps his face with both hands, then, as if he still can’t calm down, he sweeps it again, and finally, he sweeps it once more from his shiny crown to his chin.
“… … Hui… … Ears?”
Samit’s voice was shaking, and his eyes were shaking even more than his voice.
It looks like you were really shocked.
I filled the empty glass I was holding with milk and handed it to him.
But then you take it again.

He said he didn’t like milk that much, but he drinks it all up.
I guess it’s really shocking.
* * *
The shocked Samit could not calm down for quite some time.
I had to clear the entire table while I waited for it to settle down.
“… … Huh, regression? Regression… … So that’s why you had that much power. I wouldn’t have believed it originally, but since there are results, I have to believe it. I have no choice but to believe it, but is that even possible?”
“Which part?”
“The part about regression, about turning back time. Is that really possible?”
He shrugged.
“The result is in front of you, just like you said. Then it is possible.”

Samit looked dazed for a moment, as if he had lost his mind.
oh my god.
“What on earth are you planning to do?”
“huh?”
“Are you trying to create a nation?”
“……huh?”
“What are you going to do after killing the crown prince? You regressed? You can turn back time, but you are… … a god.”
Ah, now I understand.
Why is Samit talking nonsense with such a blank expression?
“It’s a bit embarrassing to say it myself, but I don’t know why I regressed.”
“……what?”
“I thought I was dead, but when I opened my eyes, I was in the body of a 14-year-old.”
“Really?”
Wow, do I look like some kind of braggart?
“Then are you kidding me? Why did you come all the way here to joke around?”
“… … If it’s okay, could you tell me a little bit about what will happen in the future? Is that okay?”
It won’t be difficult.
I just told Samit what happened in my past life.
Just a light flow.
As a result, all kingdoms collapsed and Tulcan united the continent.
Oh, I should tell you this too.
Actually, this is something that has never been mentioned in detail before, but Iskandar only unified the areas where humans lived.
The only thing he cannot control is the Forest of Demons.
I got in the way while they were trying to do that.
Let’s just summarize those stories and Samit is thinking deeply about something with a very complicated expression just like before.
Just waited this time too.
It would be strange not to think about it when it tells you the future.
It also foretold a future of destruction.
Samit said.
“You said you were not God.”
“That’s right.”
“But, you know so much, as if you were God.”
Is that so?
“Have you ever thought it was strange?”
Didn’t answer.

“Humans are the ones who don’t know what will happen even an inch ahead. No, to be exact, no intelligent being knows what will happen an inch ahead, or even a minute ahead. Of course, they can guess to some extent. But you know ‘with certainty.’ That difference is a realm that humans cannot reach. It is literally a realm of transcendence.”
Samit paused for a moment and remained silent.
After about five minutes, Samit, who had been thinking deeply about something again, asked me a question.
“There’s one thing I don’t understand.”
Since we’ve already brought it up, there’s no reason I can’t give it to you.
“What is it?”
“Iskandar Tulkan, is he that great?”
It’s a topic that no one has ever asked about, or, more accurately, no one has ever thought to ask about.
Iskandar Tulkan.
If he is excellent, what part is he excellent in?
Well, this one is a little difficult to answer.
“Even though the Tulkan Empire is huge, is it possible to unite the continent with it? Even if the Half-Bloods you mentioned, those who gained power by shortening their lifespans, are stationed around it, well. I don’t know much about politics, but if the territory is that large, there will naturally be a transition period and some will become greedy.”
If you are talking about historical inevitability, I agree.
I nodded to Samit’s words.
The guy seemed to have a lot to say.
Hey, that kid is such a talkative kid.
“Yes, greed. We don’t have to go that far. The Half-Blood I mentioned earlier, I find that questionable. They were just sitting still? They had that much power during that transition period, and they were just sitting still? Iskandar Tulkan was so great that he could tie them up at once? Even if Heynckes Beckerman was the strongest swordsman on the continent, and even if he was a Half-Blood, if other Half-Bloods united, they could still take the power, but a Half-Blood with a limited lifespan killed that huge greed?”
There may be some parts that you don’t quite understand.
Even if I didn’t know the circumstances, I would have expressed such doubts.
“Besides, I saw Iskandar seven years ago. He wasn’t a mana user then. I think he’s in his early 30s now, so what on earth happened?”
I ended up laughing hysterically.
Yeah, this part is enough.
This is why I value Tulkan and Iskandar so highly.
Even Tem-Samit, the Red Master and the strongest warrior on the continent, doesn’t know about it.
You don’t know even though you actually saw it.
“Iskandar, he must be a red master like you right now.”
“……uh?”
“His swordsmanship is on par with Beckerman’s, and while his magic skills are lacking compared to a dragon, he can create high-circle magic, and the best part is that he can use empty air mana to a degree that is superior to others. That’s all there is to it.”
He raised his hand and spread his index finger.
“Except for me and my master, who is currently the strongest mana user on the continent?”
Samit would have guessed from the flow of the story.
But I couldn’t say anything.
“The strongest swordsman on the continent is Beckerman, the strongest warrior on the continent is Tem-Samit Ishmael, the strongest magician on the continent is Duke Hell, and since Angela Hell replaced Duke Hell about two years ago, let’s call her Angela Hell. But, here, Beckerman is called the strongest swordsman on the continent and the strongest mana user on the continent. Right?”
Even until Tulkan unified the continent, Beckerman was still called the strongest swordsman and the strongest mana user.
That’s common knowledge and I just assumed it would be the same.

Because I wasn’t interested.
What’s the point of ranking? Everyone is equal under Nana Master. So it’s better to just ignore it.
Even now, I’m just talking about it because it came up. If not, it’s a story that wouldn’t have come up.
So, while we’re on the subject, let’s just make it hot.
“Since we cannot ignore experience, the strongest swordsman on the continent is Heynckes Beckerman, the strongest warrior on the continent is you, the strongest magician on the continent is Angela Hell, and the strongest mana user on the continent is.”
I stabbed the meat with a fork.
“Iskandar Tulkan.”
If this were the end, it would be a little disappointing.
“And he will realize the power of the soul on his own within the next two to three years. Isn’t it funny when you think about it? The courage to make Beckerman his right-hand man as Madame Face. You said it. Why didn’t the Half-Bloods get greedy back then? To be exact, I didn’t.”
I put the meat in my mouth and chewed it carefully.
“If I had been greedy, I would have lost right away.”
He put down his fork and leaned back against the seat.
“Who do you think the half-transcendent Half-bloods saw to realize the power of the soul? How could they possibly have realized the power of the soul, which they could not even grasp in reality, even if they combined it with a dragon and a body? It’s simple. They realized it because they had a sample. In his previous life, Iskandar Tulkan was a guy who held both individual power and group power at the top. He was a very sinister guy.”
That’s Iskandar Tulkan.
A person with hidden power… …um, a person of power.
Now it’s time to speak with some more culture.
A person in power who hides his power.
This seems just right.
