Episode 338
Chapter 3
I will live as Antos Cradle, and once things are settled in the Cradle, I will live as Thanos again… … .
Why does that resonate so deeply with me?
Even though it was a position where he could have had quite a lot, he didn’t show any regret.
That’s probably why.
I thought I knew pretty well what kind of guy Thanos was, but this was a little surprising.
I saw in Thanos a man who trusted me to that extent, a man who was willing to sacrifice his life for me.
It’s sturdy.
Yes, that explained everything.
It was really solid.
As Thanos returned to the Cradle Palace, Antonio Senna approached me.
“Excuse me, Confucius?”
“why?”
When there are just two people, use polite language, but when there are several people, use informal language.
Antonio didn’t find that strange of me.
I just figured out that he was that kind of guy, I guess.
What is Antonio trying to say?
“I’d like to teach him a little bit. Is that okay?”
The guy we’re talking about here is Thanos.
Oh, really.
“You said you would protect your older sister?”
“Yes. I will keep it.”
“But how can I teach you? My older sister is a marquis.”
Antonio smiles faintly.
“Won’t Thanos join the Academy as an instructor in three months?”
“yes.”
“I understand that the Academy has vacations. If you could send him to where Lady Elizabeth is during those vacations.”
“You want to teach him while also being his escort?”
“yes.”
I laughed too.
Tem-Samit was like that, and so was Antonio. Did you like it that much?
Well then, let’s take a look at the interview.
“What are you trying to teach Thanos?”
Antonio answered immediately, as if he had already prepared.

“The guy has a problem with balance and power distribution. He uses his main technique to maximize his body’s power through rigid body techniques, but the problem is that his power is too unbalanced.”
“unbalance?”
“Yes. That imbalance will eat away at and destroy his body over time. I will improve both of those things.”
Up to this point, I’ve been very satisfied.
These are the parts that I was trying to resolve by teaching him separately anyway.
“and.”
“and?”
“I want to teach the non-believers.”
“Why? Raise me as a warrior?”
Antonio shakes his head.
“That’s not it. From what I’ve felt, he and the Musinryu go well together. If you’d allow me, I’d like to assign a master to him to help him with the basic Musinryu movements and his training methods.”
There was a brief applause.
I like it.
“I’m fine with it, but I don’t know about Thanos. Go talk to him directly. And if he says okay, then do it.”
When Antonio nodded and started to leave, she motioned for him to stop for a moment.
“Just wait.”
Okay, so next part.
I asked about 7,400 monks who had come to the cradle.
Is there anyone who wants to stay in the cradle?
Of those, more than 4,000 said they wanted to stay in the cradle.
I didn’t bother, block, or do anything like that.
I want to live.
Then it’s done.
He said, looking at Antonio.
“Tell them to hand over those 4,000 people and introduce them to jobs. They need to eat and live. And if the budget is insufficient, tell them to request help from the Continental Battlefield.”
“Yes, I will convey that.”
With those words, Antonio Senna disappeared from his seat like smoke.
If you look closely, that guy seems like he’d be good at assassination.
Nothing much happened after that.
It was decided to send the remaining 3,000 or so peach blossom members by boat, and my older sister would accompany them on that boat.
So that was it, and I dismissed the people.
After that I called Saxony.

Then he gave the guy a few orders and leaned back on the sofa he was sitting on.
Phew.

Kingdom of Teslan, Milos Academy.
There, mana stirred.
Phew-!
The sound of a storm churning is followed by the sound of a crash landing.
A man with short hair.
He had two daggers and five daggers tucked into his waistband, and a shortsword and shield slung across his back.
His name is Saxon Bayes, and he carries more weapons than you might think.
He moved around the academy naturally.
Hiya.
As expected, the continent is really nice.
There are also wonderful buildings like this.
Of course, I wasn’t here to tourist, so I was still thinking about something inside.
‘A girl with blonde hair, a dagger, and a strange, non-human appearance.’
Saxon looked around and then smiled brightly.
There was a kid walking by who fit the criteria perfectly.
I walked towards the kid.
Keep a distance of about 5 meters.
“Are you Charlotte?”
For a moment, Charlotte’s brow furrowed.
I just found the man who was 5 meters away.
When on earth did you come?
Saxon, oblivious to her reaction, smiles and takes a step closer to Charlotte.
“I have somewhere to go, so would you like to follow me for a moment?”
Charlotte said.
“Someone I know said this.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You shouldn’t follow strange people.”
Saxon tilted his head.
You’re saying that you shouldn’t follow strange people?
Not someone you don’t know?
That fleeting moment when Saxony let his guard down.
Charlotte’s hand moved.
It wasn’t like I was trying to attack or anything.
He grabbed the dagger that was stuck on his back and just kept it there.
Swish-

He brought it to his own neck.
“What? Why?”
Saxon shook his head and took a step forward.
“Stop, stop right there. Take one more step and I’ll tear this up.”
Saxon felt a slight eerie sensation as Charlotte took a step back while saying that.
That’s understandable, because this kid was definitely being sincere.
no.
What are these?
From that big kid named Antos, there isn’t a single one of them who is ordinary.
“Are you trying to take me hostage?”
What is this?
“Me? Me you?”
“Yes. Sir, I bow to you.”
“No. Why should I?”
“How would I know that?”
“I told you not to be serious. I’ve never seen you before. Why are you taking me hostage?”
Charlotte, who was already looking at Saxon strangely, looked at him even more strangely.
“It’s my first time seeing you, so how did you know my name? And you asked me to go with you? Why did you ask me to go with you when you don’t know me?”
Saxon said as if it was absurd.
“Because I told you to bring me.”
“Who is it?”
This part was important.
Because it was the point where all misunderstandings could be resolved.
Saxon said without hesitation.
“The Lord told me to bring you here.”
That was a mistake.
“Doju? Your name is Doju?”
Saxon, who was about to say something, couldn’t.
I slowly turned my head.
Since when did it start?
A man standing with his back against a tree about 8 meters away.
Saxony felt his energy.
He’s not some pervert, he’s just hiding somewhere like that.
The level is intermediate.
A man whose face looks quite bushy, including his sideburns.
Advertisements
Saxon assessed his first impression thusly:
It seems like he’s quite bright with money.
“Kidnapping in the middle of the academy. You have guts.”
Saxon just opened his eyes blankly.
“You’re not even keeping up with the basic agreements between nations, and you’re even trying to kidnap one of our students by teleporting out of the blue… … A mana user I’ve never seen before, but he seems to be a mid-level master. Is he the master who was hiding in Tulcan?”
“… … Are you talking about me now?”
“Who else here besides you would use teleportation in broad daylight to trespass and kidnap a student?”
Saxony was outrageous.
No, they didn’t even get the message?
“I really am going to go. I told you that I came because the Master called me.”
“You’re a runaway… … I’m hearing this for the first time in my life.”
Only then did Saxon realize how foolish he had been.
“Jack, he asked me to bring you.”
Charlotte and Harold’s eyes frown simultaneously.
“It seems that the culprit is quite big. At least in Ascension, there wasn’t a single person impersonating Confucius… … .”
I’m going crazy.
Saxon shook his head slowly.
If talking doesn’t work, what can I do?
We have to take her by force.
Saxon Beis, who was trying to take out the sword and shield he had on his back, and Harold Lynch, who saw that, took out the longsword from his waist as well.
It was at that moment that the two of them were trying to let out their energy.
“wait a minute-!”
A man was running towards the Academy Information Science building, his remaining hair flying madly.
It was a man named Krapp who was in charge of wiretapping the Cradle branch, and he shouted.
“Are you the Saxon Base sent by ‘Confucius’?!”
Saxon answered with a bright smile, as if he had finally found someone he could understand.
“Yes. I am Saxon Bass. Now I feel like I am speaking the Continental language.”
“He, he said. When you bring Charlotte, stop by the ‘Villa’ and bring the longsword and white mask, and also bring Benedict, the dean of the archery department.”
Although he was treated as an errand boy, Saxony didn’t care.
Because this was enough.
Harold asked Saxon, who was putting his longsword and shield back on his back.
“… … Are you the person sent by Confucius?”
“Have you been living like that? Do you think I should go around committing fraud at this age?”
Harold approached Kraff, who had relayed the information, and asked him.
Is that really true?
Advertisements
“Oh, Dean. I’m really sorry for the late information, but it’s true. It was sent by ‘that person.’”
Such conversation went on, and Charlotte, who had been observing the atmosphere, eventually stuck a dagger into the back of her waist.
The boss sent it.
Saxon, who was looking at Charlotte like that, eventually burst into laughter.
“I’m the one who kidnapped you, kid. The world is still worth living in. Should I buy you some candy?”
Charlotte’s eyes, looking at Saxon as he spoke, were the kind you get when you see a really strange person.
anyway.
“Can you show me where that villa is? It shouldn’t be difficult since I’m not a strange old man or a stranger anymore, right?”
Charlotte thought for a moment and nodded.
Harold followed, as if he couldn’t send them alone.
Saxon asked as if he had been waiting.
“By the way, you are the dean of the department?”
“You have a keen ear. Yes, I am the Dean of the Faculty of Commerce at the Milos Academy, and I am also the Acting Dean of the Faculty of Swordsmanship. What about you?”
“I am a warrior from an island far away.”
Harold tilts his head.
Is this guy joking around?
I wanted to ask something, but it was too late.
Because Saxony asked first.
“Our Dean looks a little shabby. How many 3s?”
“17 thousand hits with pure flesh.”
It was a very high number considering his thin body, but Saxon gave a short, sparrow-like laugh.
It was an attitude that anyone could see as laughable.
“Wow, 17,000? Hiya, are there only 10,000 people teaching the kids here? Aren’t the Deans of the Faculty responsible, or at least the senior Grand Master? On our island, even Grand Masters with less than 20,000 people aren’t treated as people. The continent is really big.”
Harold frowns.
“What do you want to do with us?”
“Then it’s good for me.”
It was two masters fighting in a strange place.
“Please follow me up to the rooftop.”
“Ah, the anchovies told me to follow them, so I can’t not go.”
Hehehe, Saxon is smiling and Harold is a little angry.
“Shouldn’t you go to the boss first?”
At Charlotte’s words, he stopped dead in his tracks.
It’s a new fact, but the biggest driving force for Mana users to grow is competition.
Even if they are of the same rank, it is the masters’ desire to rank them.
Saxony and Harold look at each other.

Their eyes crossed, and eventually they turned their heads at the same time.
It’s an unspoken agreement to first take care of what you’re told to take care of, and then think about fighting afterward.
Charlotte took the lead and asked Saxon as if she had forgotten.
“But why doesn’t the boss come and why does the old man come?”
“Oh, didn’t I tell you this too?”
“Yes, I didn’t do it.”
Saxon said casually.
“I said I was going to the Demon Forest. I was taking you with me.”
