Episode 46
I’ve said it countless times, but the world is not fair.
Some are born as children of nobles, and some are born as children of commoners.
It takes talent to change that kind of birth.
I am definitely a genius.
He is unrivaled in feeling and using mana.
This clearly fell into the realm of ‘individual talent’.
With my individual talent, I overcame all limitations and even the wall of the master.
But how many people like me are there in the world?
And Thanos before my eyes.
That guy was born with such mediocre talent.
If we only look at his tenacity and effort, we can say that he is somewhat comparable to his previous life, but his limitations are too clear.
4 circles.
That’s when it was maxed out.
If you are in the 4th circle, you are usually called a bottom-tier knight.
It’s simple, seeing that the guy who was the apprentice knight of the Marquis… … whose name I don’t even remember, was a 4th circle.
Even though he had room to grow more, he is not the Thanos in front of us.
In summary, Thanos is a very unfortunate case in which he has a talent for hard work, but an average talent for mana.
[You, who learned from me, would know. The hatred and desire that child harbors.]
embrace.
I know it too well.
I don’t know who it was, but Thanos clearly hated someone.
To my master, a black magician and necromancer, and to me, that will is felt with great detail.
[Hatred and incomprehensible desires are the driving forces behind that child, but because of that, he is unable to control his own body properly. If he continues like that, he will not grow but rather regress. But since that child does not know this, how can this not be pitiful?]
The teacher speaks at length, unlike usual.
I think he must have read my mind.
Now that you’ve watched him enough, the nuance is that you should quickly decide whether to go and stop him or take him away.
Okay, let me emphasize that one more time.
Thanos caught my attention.
I have no intention of turning away from that cold, sad and pitiful reality.
It is clear that Thanos has little talent for mana.
But it doesn’t matter.
I like that spirit more than that talent.
“Hey, Thanos.”
Thanos, who had stopped his sword, turned his head to me.
“Why are you swinging your sword?”
“yes?”

“You must have a goal you want to achieve. I can answer that much, right? I’ve been listening to your feelings for the past few days.”
To be exact, it was only me who noticed, but I wonder if Thanos was looking at me a little differently too.
The guy wipes away the sweat that was running down his forehead and covering his eyes, and looks at me with serious eyes.
And then he said in a serious tone.
“He is the strongest prosecutor on the continent.”
huh?
Did I hear wrong?
“I will become the strongest prosecutor on the continent.”
For a moment, I closed my mouth.
The strongest prosecutor on the continent?
I don’t think this was said as a joke.
Because that serious expression and serious tone were so serious that you could never think of it as a joke.
Seriously, you’re going to become the strongest prosecutor on the continent?
So, you tried that hard?
haha.
“Ha… … hahahahahaha!”
Thanos looked at me for a moment as I burst into laughter, then turned his head.
Then he swings his sword again.
I don’t know if he took my laughter as mockery, but Thanos seems to be used to this kind of situation.
And the reason I laugh is not because I’m making fun of you, but because I’m surprised.
The hatred for killing someone and a desire that was a little different from that combined to create such a monster of effort.
I didn’t know what desire was, but the strongest swordsman on the continent?
I like it.
I really like it.
I said to Thanos, who was swinging his sword.
“Hey, do you want to be my chick?”
Stop!
“yes?”
“You heard me. Say it again?”
“I, I think I misheard. A chick…?”

“I heard you right. Do you have any plans?”
“… … What do you mean by ‘chicken’? It doesn’t sound good.”
This little punk is so damn quick-witted.
“Then instead of a chick, how about a guest?”
Thanos tilts his head.

Should I say that it is a look that is incomprehensible?
“Sikgaek… … Are you talking about Gashin?”
“Well, maybe. Maybe not.”
Let’s laugh meaningfully, Thanos said, still in a serious voice.
“I am a commoner.”
“so?”
“I have nothing and no money.”
“So, so?”
Thanos looks at me with a stern expression.
“I have honestly heard about the Valantier family.”
“Oh, now we’re going to move on to the family story? That’s natural.”
“… … I also know that you are very different from the rumors.”
Idiot, idiot.
There is no way that Thanos, a student at the Academy, would not have heard the word that refers to me.
“so?”
“Personally, I think that if someone is hiding a lot of things, it means that they have some kind of plan. I am a commoner and have no talent. Please choose a proper person as your vassal instead of someone like me. I will be of no help to you in many ways.”
My comment that it was pretty cute was quite appropriate.
Please worry about me too.
however.
“You said you were going to become the strongest prosecutor on the continent? Then I would have the strongest prosecutor on the continent as my vassal? But you said it wouldn’t help? Now that I think about it, I guess you were convinced that your dream was a dream that would never come true?”
Thanos looks at me with a strange expression as I sit on the bench, resting my chin on my hand.
“I know it myself. I don’t have the talent for mana.”
I burst out laughing.
No matter how I look at it, those words seem sincere.
That is also a sincere statement with many words omitted.
The guy must have judged himself to have no talent for mana and trained like crazy in swordsmanship to make up for it.
To become the strongest prosecutor on the continent.
As I watch Thanos spout off the words “I have no talent” as if it were self-defense, I’m starting to get a sense of what kind of man he is.
however.
“That’s somewhat true, but it misses the point. You have a talent that’s even better than Mana’s.”
“yes?”
“You clearly have tremendous talent, or rather, it has blossomed.”
“……yes?”
I stood up quietly from my seat.
Mana’s talent?

No need.
At least now that he’s met me, Thanos doesn’t have to worry about things like Mana’s talents.
And I wasn’t lying.
The guy has talents that are even greater than Mana’s.
“You have a talent for hard work. As far as I know, there are few people on this continent who work as hard as you do.”
This is not an empty remark, this is sincere.
There are countless people who have the talent of mana.
There are cases where a farmer who goes to a field actually has an incredible talent for mana, but he lives his entire life as an ordinary person without ever being able to use that talent.
What these people lacked was effort and persistence.
And does that effort and dedication come easily?
Not at all.
If I think about my past self, it’s simple.
I have a talent for mana.
Mana floating in the air?
To be honest, I didn’t know until I met the teacher.
That the world I see is completely different from the world others see.
I can see it in my eyes.
Mana of the void.
The result of this mana floating like air is that the mana surrounds my body.
I feel it all.
When did it start? Before I was ten years old.
I didn’t know it was talent, I didn’t have the tenacity, and I didn’t have the intention to put in the effort.
Because I was helpless and stupid.
“Don’t treat yourself like X. You have a talent that shines brighter than anyone else I’ve ever seen.”
“I am…….”
Thanos was looking at me, about to say something.
A rumbling sound was heard from the bushes on the other side.
I turn my head slightly and see three men approaching me through the bushes.
I guess I should say it’s a little bit strange.
The place where I am now is, strictly speaking, a very sparsely populated place.
For convenience’s sake, I said it was a park, but in reality, it was on the outskirts of the park, and even in the opposite direction from the entrance.
I think it would be more appropriate to say that it is just an empty lot where no one comes.
Even the space is very narrow.
To put it simply, I haven’t seen a single person come near here in the past five days.
The fact that three of them came here means that they have a purpose.

Then Thanos speaks to me.
“I think it’s time for you to go now.”
“Go? Me? Where?”
“Back to where you came from.”
The atmosphere is unusual.
At that moment, the one in the middle of the three students approaching said.
“Look at this?
He looks at me, then at the Master sitting on my shoulder, and finally at Charlotte, who is looking around beside me.
The corners of his mouth slightly curl up as if he finds it strange.
“What kind of combination is this? What’s with that little girl holding the doll? Do I remember that girl being at the academy? Is she a freshman?”
When I turned to the two big guys next to me, they also shook their heads.
The little boy in front of me bursts out laughing at the sight of me and Charlotte for the first time.
“How could I possibly know all those freshmen? I guess they’re freshmen, but did that beggar listen to me? Didn’t I clearly tell you not to mix with other guys at the Academy? You dirty commoner kid, you ignored me? I guess I didn’t have enough discipline. That’s my fault. I was wrong.”
I guess that beggar term was a word referring to our Thanos.
Because that guy kept looking at Thanos and saying, “Beggar, beggar.”
“Go. It’s my job.”
Thanos spoke to me in a small voice.
But this is true.
What should I say?
Can it be solved this easily?
“Those wounds on your body, could it be that they were the ones who did that?”
Thanos did not answer.
Just quietly block my path.
It looks as if it’s trying to protect me.
The three musketeers on the other side, who were watching the scene, burst into laughter as if they realized something.
Then he looked straight at me and said.
“Ah, that’s it.”
That? What is that?
“I thought it was strange that a beggar had a potion, but it turns out you were the one who gave the potion to the beggar.”
Do you know the potion?
I asked with a skeptical tone.
“Could it be that they stole the potion I gave them?”
Thanos said nothing this time either.
And this is clearly meant to be positive.
Wow, you got ripped off?
Advertisements
What I gave you?
“I will pay you back for the potion.”
So that’s why you said 40 gold or something earlier.
Looking back, this is quite a funny situation.
It’s not that he didn’t drink the potion I gave him, he just couldn’t drink it, and the wounds on his body that grew day by day were caused by those guys.
Now that I think about it, I’ve been here longer today than usual.
Normally, when I watch for 3 to 4 hours, I don’t see them, but today, when I watched for almost 7 hours, I saw them. This is really something.
Is this fate?
I really can’t help but ask.
“What are you so sorry for that you get beaten up by those X-gods?”
The one in the middle of the three musketeers shouts angrily.
“What the X god?”
Ignored it.
“Please leave now. It’s my business.”
