Episode 282
* * *
As I watched Thanos and Roman facing each other in the stadium, I couldn’t help but let out a word.
“That crazy guy.”
Let me be honest.
I’m surprised now.
I was really surprised.
[I was in the 7th circle at 17. I definitely had talent, but not to that extent.]
The teacher’s tone was heavy.
And you could guess the mood from the tone.
That was understandable.
I feel exactly the same way as you, Master, right now.
As expected, the game started and we were chatting for a bit, and then the entire Colosseum started to vibrate.
It wasn’t the Roman aura that shook the entire Colosseum, it was the spectators.
Waaaaaaaaa-!!
Roman Stewart-!!
etc.
The voice of Roman, who became a high-circle mana user at the age of 17, echoes throughout the Colosseum.
ha.
“What the Master said is completely correct. It’s true that I have talent, but it’s not to that extent.”
As far as I can see, there are only two people on this continent right now who have almost irregular levels of talent that are of all-time level.
Iskandar Tulkan, and our older sister, Elizabeth Valantier.
Among them, my older sister completed the 7th circle at the age of 18.
But a year earlier, a boy named Roman completed the 7th Circle?
That’s ridiculous.
Even if there are individual differences in how one cultivates mana, this level of difference is impossible.
This is my judgment after seeing it with my own eyes.
But how was that possible?
It’s simple.
“I really didn’t expect this, a mana transplant surgery.”
I slowly moved my gaze and looked at a man in the audience.
Heynckes Beckermann.
He noticed my gaze, looked at me, and then quickly turned his gaze to the stage.
Look how proud the pup is.
[What could have driven that child to the edge of a cliff like that?]
The nuance of the teacher’s words was a bit strange.
no way.

“You’re not trying to say it’s because of me, are you?”
[I can’t say no. The one who was called a genius saw you playing with those who were called masters at a younger age than him. How did he feel at that time?]
I slowly crossed my arms.
[It could be an inferiority complex, or a sense of desperation. He probably thought about it a lot. And he decided. He had to somehow gain strength. He had to remain a genius.]
Personally, I don’t like overusing the word genius.
This way, kids can make stupid decisions.
[No matter what the people who received the mana transplant surgery said, that child must have thought, “It can’t be me, I’ll be fine, there are already people who break common sense, so why can’t I do the same?” He must have thought that way, and that’s how it ended up like that.]
Jack Stewart, the last person I saw in my past life.
The kid clearly said that his father, Roman Stewart, was not a good father.
Yeah, I don’t think he’s a good father either.
Should I say that the sprouts are visible?
Then I realized another thing.
Why don’t I remember anyone with that kind of talent?
There’s a high chance that he did something similar in his past life.
Those who are called geniuses from a young age usually have arrogance equipped as a basic passive.
The reason I’ve been rambling like this all this time is because I feel so sorry.
“I was able to raise him to at least the upper level of Master, but now I don’t know.”
It’s such a shame that a truly talented person who could burn brightly ends up putting up a wall around his own talent.
[Still, if this is the case, it will be a bit difficult to win the swordsmanship category.]
For the first time, I made a face like, “What kind of nonsense is that?” at the teacher’s words.
[Don’t think that everyone is the same as you. If there was a difference of one circle, there would be at least a chance to turn it around, but there are two. Even if it was a circle that was forcibly created through a mana transplant surgery, there are definitely two differences. That’s big.]
The teacher was serious.
[Right now, that kid named Roman is challenging common sense and is determined to win. Thanos can beat that kid? If I had to give him a probability, I would say it’s around 10% or lower, but judging by his expression, he still doesn’t seem convinced.]
I guess it was quite obvious.
Of course, what the teacher said was not wrong.
The circles are not different by one, but by two.
Even if it’s half, two is two.
but.
“Would you like to make a bet with me?”
[… … I’ve felt this way for a while now, but you seem surprisingly interested in things like gambling, so be careful not to get carried away.]

He shrugged.
“I’ll bet on Thanos to win. Where do you bet, Master?”
[There are many unpredictable things that happen in the world. Here, for fun.]
The Master’s eyes shift from Thanos to Roman on the other side.
[I guess I should walk to that kid named Roman.]
Charlotte and Seldo, who were just listening to my conversation with the Master, seemed to have something to say.
“Boss, is our Thanos brother losing?”
“I think I’ll win, but why? Do you think Thanos will lose?”
“… … To be honest, yes.”
Charlotte doesn’t have no eyes to see.
After going through the Pianhua, I made great strides and naturally my vision improved.
“I saw that student, Roman, use a sword in the preliminaries and the finals.”
“Have you seen it?”
“It’s different. It’s different from other students.”

A smile appears on the lips.
“How is it different?”
“It’s neat and tidy, no frills. But it’s also unconventional and fast. Like.”
“like?”
“… … I think I see the instructors.”
To summarize, it seems to me that it is not just the level of a student, but similar to the level of an instructor who teaches a student.
The cell next to Charlotte.
-The boss said that before.
What did you say?
You talk so much I don’t know what you’re talking about.
-I think I now know for sure that this is a world for humans only.
Cell didn’t seem to care whether Thanos won or lost.
Because Cell’s eyes were firm.
Our master said Roman would win, but our cell seems to have raised its hand.
-I felt it in the magic department, but there are definitely a lot of talented people. This will change now, right?
I could tell what his intentions were by the way he looked at me.
Although the human borders have become blurred by communication tunnels, the ‘Forest of Demons’ still remains an unknown region.
Even now, talented people like this are emerging one by one, so how much talent is hidden in the forest of demons where the different races reside?
Because of the size of the landmass, there may not be more of them than humans, but that’s a different matter from being curious.
Interaction between different races and humans.
When will that be possible?
I’ve said it before, and I’ve said it countless times, but the world will change.
Because it’s still changing.
He said, lightly patting the heads of the two little ones with his hand.
“Let’s just wait and see.”
I focused, our little ones focused, and our teacher focused.
Thanos’ fight.
But, you really won’t support it, right?
Chapter 4
Roman Stewart with a small physique and Thanos with a huge physique.
If you are an Ishmaelite citizen, you cannot help but know what your country’s king, Tem-Samit, looks like.
That huge size and massive muscles.
Thanos resembled Tem-Samit.
So, the people of Ishmael cheered for Thanos.
Because strangely, I felt like Ishmael’s warrior.

So I really had a hopeful thought.
Even if the opponent is a young genius from the 7th Circle, Thanos would be a little different.
I’ll show you something.
It was a mistake.
Chae-Ang-!! Chae-Ang-!!
When the match started, a whopping 70% of people thought Thanos would win.
After one minute, that 70% became 30%. After two minutes, no one except Jack and his crew thought Thanos would win.
Roman’s sword is swung.
Thanos lifted the greatsword with his thick tendons in front.
Kwaaang-!!
“Ugh.”
I was pushed back by the ridiculous resilience.
Roman approached Thanos once more.
Kwaaang-!!
Gulp-
“Didn’t you say that the continent’s strongest prosecutor isn’t something that can be explained with words?”
Roman laughed and brought his sword down.
Thanos hurriedly dodged to the side, but Roman’s sword slightly grazed his ear and stuck in the ground.
Boom-!
As the dust rose, Thanos, who had lost one ear, quickly stepped back.
“I didn’t say it out loud.”
Roman approached Thanos again and kicked him with his foot without even using his sword.
“Because at least I knew I had no enemies among my peers. Of course, except for that monster called Jack.”
Thanos rolled around on the floor a couple of times, looking like a mess.
Only three minutes had passed since the match began, but blood flowing from his right ear had soaked almost half of his upper body, and his blood-soaked clothes were covered in dust and had turned into a dirty mess.
“It’s really strange when you think about it. If the Academy Wars hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have known what kind of kids my age were. I really… … .”
Thanos ignored Roman’s chattering words from before.
Just focus on the situation.
Let me be honest.
Roman Stewart.
It was definitely strong.
Although it wasn’t to the extent of Charlotte in her prime, at least Charlotte was clearly capable of winning comfortably.
Slowly, strength enters your grasp.
give up?
I didn’t do it.

I have no intention of doing it.
‘Let’s think about it, Roman, what is his weakness?’
First of all, his swordplay was simple.
It was like when I was competing with Jack inside the magic circle.
The level seems to be exactly when Jack is around 4th circle.
That was when.
“The border is quite wide… … Are you thinking about something else right now?”
Roman, who had been talking about something, left the room as soon as he said that.
Thanos instinctively.
He raised his sword as if he was in a magic circle and guarded his ‘neck’.
Wow-!
Thanos’ body flies straight up.
This is the problem.
What initially set Thanos apart from other students was his strength.
If you lift a huge sword with that strength, that strength combined with the weight creates tremendous destructive power.
But now, Roman was wielding a sword that was only half the size of the greatsword Thanos was holding, but was producing far greater destructive power.
In other words, Thanos’ strong destructive power, which was his strong point, has disappeared.
Thanos wipes the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth and slowly stands up.
Clearly, his talent is impeccable.
but.
“I don’t think it will work.”
Roman must not have heard the voice speaking softly.
If you had heard that, you might have laughed at me and said, “You’re just a second-year student.”
But then I heard what he said.
“It is not the strong who win, but the one who wins who is strong.”
“What the hell are you talking about? Are you suffering from 8th grade syndrome?”
Roman ran over, assumed his signature stance, and swung his sword twice.
From top to bottom.
From bottom to top right.
Crunch-!
Crunch-!
Blood sprayed into the air, and objects that appeared to be made of Thanos’ flesh flew around.
That was just the beginning.
Top slashes, cross slashes, upward slashes, and even stabbing.
All sorts of movements unfolded in succession from Roman’s sword, and all of those attacks, clean and without any unnecessary details, hit Thanos’ body.
