Episode 33
* * *
Charlotte thought.
This boy.
No, he was not someone who could possibly be called a boy.
Who the hell is this guy?
It was clear that the person was around my age.
Early teens.
The more this happens, the more confused it becomes.
Is this man really human?
This series of events unfolding before her eyes was showing Charlotte a new world.
Using mana to cast magic or maximize your body’s abilities.
Frankly, these things weren’t all that new to Charlotte, who had seen the Academy’s students on field trips a few times.
But if the level is so overwhelming that we cannot even dare to guess its power, then the story is very different.
Charlotte thought again.
Is this really possible?
I’ve honestly felt this energy around me a few times, but this is the first time I’ve seen all of it concentrated on one person.
Also, the man’s movements were agile and could not be followed by the eyes, and not only his strength but also the splendid words that came out of his mouth were so admirable that one could not help but admire them.
It was quite shocking to learn that the being he thought was his uncle was actually a dragon, that he had killed vampires and toyed with his own mother, but the scene where Jack swung his sword and forcibly opened the sky before his eyes, and then turned the dragon into dust, was even more shocking than common sense.
In Charlotte’s world, these things are a thing of the past.
Charlotte felt it.
That from this moment on, his life will change 180 degrees.

Valentine also felt somewhat similar to Charlotte, whose mouth was wide open next to him.
To be precise, while Charlotte felt boundless awe, Valentine felt admiration and confusion.
That was the difference.
‘… … I raised this monster?’
When the child first used the power of the soul, Valentine acknowledged the unrealistic situation called ‘regression’.
Because it would have been impossible to show that level of power without acknowledging it.
But the situation unfolding before my eyes was a story of a different dimension.
‘You opened the door to the spirit world? At that age?’
I heard at first glance that he died at the age of 34.
But, at the age of just 34, he opened the dimensional gate to the spirit world, the origin of marriage?
Of course, Valentine himself could open the soul realm, but he couldn’t have complete control over it, at least not as Jack had just demonstrated.
That child, no, that man, was completely in control of the marriage.

genius.
No, a monster.
No other words come to mind.
Even Valentine, who had stood at the top of the world in the past, was amazed at this moment.
This man also showed a strangely considerate side.
Clearly, the giant swords that fell from the spirit realm did not stick to the ground.
After lightly deleting the dragon’s body that was floating in the air, it completely disappeared from that spot as if it had been promised.
It’s not called perfect control for nothing.
If even one of those tens of thousands of swords had been embedded in the ground, this area would have been completely devastated.
That was clear.
Valentine suddenly stroked his left wrist.
Even though it was a doll’s body, I still felt creepy.
Then he turned his head and stared blankly at Jack, who was leaning against the wall, panting for breath.
To be honest, I was confused.
It makes sense, because Valentine clearly felt it when the spirit world opened.
The loneliness and extreme solitude that emanates from it.
And an intense longing for someone that transcends those feelings.
That was definitely Jack’s feeling.
Valentine naturally had doubts.
‘Who on earth did you miss so much that the remnants of that emotion still remain in the spirit world?’
The word longing.
It was a word that was very familiar to Valentine, even if others did not know about it.
That’s why, in this world, only Valentine could say this.
This child was as pitiful as I was.
* * *
I killed the dragon.
Did he just kill them? He just turned them into dust.
To be honest, I feel a little sorry.
If I had killed the guy when he released his polymorph and appeared in his original form, all sorts of byproducts would have poured out.
Thinking back, it’s still such a shame.
But what can I do?
What happened has already happened.

For a moment, my head feels tingly and ringing.
Severe headache.
I tried to ignore that f*cking feeling, like my brain was being ripped out.

Anyway, I’m used to this kind of pain.
Even when my arms were torn off, swords were stuck in my legs, and a hole was ripped through my stomach, I moved and killed the enemy.
I’m used to enduring pain.
Probably no one in this world can keep up with me in this area.
Pain, I’m really used to it.
I slowly raised my trembling hands.
The sword grip is still tightly held.
The problem was that the blade had completely disappeared.
hmm.
If there had been a mirror, I probably could have seen it.
The unmistakable annoyance that was clearly displayed on my face.
It’s a new fact, but weapons that can withstand the spirit’s energy are very rare.
Even if you make a weapon out of dragon bones, the weapon will immediately turn to dust after being infused with its soul energy three or four times.
I know this because I have experienced it myself.
What I need most now, no, what I need most in the future, is a sword.
And now that I’ve come to the Academy, that sword will naturally be in my hands at some point.
Although it is not mentioned in detail, it is a sword made of another dimension material that can completely withstand the black soul energy that Julius used.
“Phew… … .”
I took another slow, deep breath.
shit.
I feel like I’m going to fall down hard.
As I let go of the strength in my hand and toss the sword to the side with only the handle remaining, I feel a presence.
I turned my head slightly and saw my teacher walking towards me.
I looked at that sight and laughed in vain.
[What’s so funny?]
“What, I shouldn’t laugh?”
[… … .]
“If I had a mirror, I would show you. The way you walk, Master, is quite cute.”
The teacher sighs as if he has nothing to say.
This time I turned my head to the other side.
Next to me, Charlotte, who had arrived at some unknown time, was holding my left arm and looking at me with a worried look.
“Why you again? What do you have to say?”
“… … Are you okay?”
Even now, my hands are shaking as if I had a stroke.
My heart was pounding as if it was going to burst, and I was swallowing the blood that was constantly rising without showing it, and although it wasn’t clearly visible because it was covered by my clothes, my legs and my entire body were being torn and burst, so how could I be okay?
He took out two high-level potions from his bosom and drank them one after another.
But my hands still trembled.

Oh, this f*cking body.
I have a feeling this rebound will last a while.
‘When we took the Master out of the cave, he recovered in two or three days. This… I don’t know.’
One, three days? Four days?
I really don’t know.
One thing is certain, I won’t die like this.
I asked Charlotte, trying to look as calm as possible.
“So, what do you think?”
“What are your thoughts?”
“I told you I would show you. What kind of power the person who will take responsibility for you has.”
“ah…….”
I look at the little boy with a quiet smile, and he speaks softly as if he is shy.
“The best… … That was cool, oppa.”
It stung for a moment.
Hey, brother.
How old am I in real life, do I have a conscience?
“boss.”
“yes?”
“Don’t call me oppa, call me boss.”
The vampire kid smiles brightly like the goddess of spring.
“Yes, boss.”
Chapter 3
Dismissed-!
For a moment, I narrowed my eyes.
A tremendous pain shoots up from my right arm, which is hanging limply, like a lightning-struck earthworm jumping out of the ground.
He gritted his teeth and hugged his right arm tightly with his left arm, which was still good.
The sound of the slap continues and the clothes he is wearing, starting from his right sleeve, turn red.
rebound.
This is a real rebound.
A true rebound that cannot be stopped even if you drink potions to exponentially increase your body’s recovery rate.
The karma of killing that I have accumulated in my soul and its immense power cannot be handled by ordinary weapons, and of course, my current wretched body cannot handle that power either.
The fact that I can feel this much pain and rebound right now is all thanks to my god-like control ability.
I tried to endure it if possible, but oh, it hurts so much.
[Did you really have to fight?]
As I lowered my head to hide my distorted expression, I heard my teacher’s voice above my head.
I relaxed my expression as much as possible and raised my head.

[If you have regressed, if you can draw on the soul’s energy, you should know that your body right now cannot fully accept that power.]
In the midst of that difficult time where my whole body was tingling, I tried to smile.
Judging by the way the corners of his trembling lips curl up slightly, it seems he has succeeded in smiling.
[You’re laughing even though it’s not a laughing situation. Why are you laughing when your soul is torn apart and your body can’t stand it and is collapsing? Why on earth do you do that?]
Strictly speaking, I didn’t need to step forward in that situation.
Because the Master has sorted out the situation so that Charlotte is not to be touched until she becomes an adult.
But I didn’t like it.
It’s not that I didn’t like the Master, but I was disgusted by the way that little lizard cub dared to set a time limit and look down on the Master, or rather, at him like he was just looking at a bug.
Instead of saying any kind of nonsense like he’d come back when Charlotte was an adult or something, he should’ve just bowed to the Master right there and then, and quietly left when the Master told him to.
A covenant from the past? A covenant that will kill you if you don’t keep it?
That doesn’t mean anything.
Not only the Dragon Lord, but any being had to go when the Master told them to, and had to crawl when the Master told them to.
But he looked down on the Master arrogantly and dared to criticize him as a nobody.
The lizard baby crossed the line.
A young beast that doesn’t even know the subject should have its head cut off.
[I taught you?]
“… … .”
[Then you know how absurd this situation is.]
The smile that was being forced on me with great difficulty gradually subsided and my expression began to tremble slightly.
It’s not that I don’t like what the Master said, but I can’t keep my expression on my face because of the pain.
[More than my own life… … .]
“Nothing is precious.”
I forcibly interrupted the teacher’s words, took a deep breath, and continued speaking slowly.
“The Master told me to live selfishly. To turn a blind eye to injustice and to turn a blind eye to justice, to live only for myself, not to be concerned with unnecessary things, and to live only for myself.”
[so?]
