Episode 67
Chapter 7
Cell thought.
What on earth is that person’s true identity?
When I first met you in the basement, I wanted to kill you.
Although they haven’t lived for very long, dragons are fundamentally more intelligent than humans.
The speed of growth is also on a whole other level.
That’s why Cell hated humans.
They cut off his arms, drained his blood, and drove huge iron bars with magical properties into his heart and body to prevent him from using his mana.
How can one like such people?
But, ironically, it was humans who saved him.
And he was strong.
Cells remember.
That both parents had abandoned him.
Not only that, Cell remembers in detail that he wrote a clue about a heterodox union or something on his body and threw it into the landmass known as the Tulcan Empire.
Dragons are such beings.
Cell also remembered the prophecies of the three lords.
The moment I first saw Jack, the prophecy immediately came to mind.
And, I felt a little disappointed.
‘Ah, so this is how the world is going to end.’
But what’s more surprising is that the devil’s power wasn’t electrical power.
Cell thought.
‘Ah, so you’re trying to gather more power and destroy the world.’
A demon dyed black.
What on earth do people with the power to destroy the world eat?
I won’t be eating ordinary food.
There is no way that a person like that would eat ordinary food.
For example, it should be like dragon meat.
That’s why I was scared.
Ah, so it was the food that saved me that saved me.
But that wasn’t it either.
A man named Jack wanted nothing.
He showed concern and gave me warm looks.
That’s why I could be sure.
Blackened demon? The end of the world?
Advertisements
It was indeed manipulated.
No, why would such a ‘good’ person destroy the world?
Cell raised his head.
Jack’s body, sitting in the middle of the training ground, is surrounded by blue light.
Should I call it admiration?
Although it hasn’t been that long since he was born, Cell knows what kind of being a human is and how difficult it is to cultivate mana in a human body.
I know… … but when I look at the phenomenon before my eyes, I feel like my existing common sense is being shattered.
After Jack sat like that, exactly one hour later, a third circle was created in his heart, and another hour later, a fourth circle was created.
And two hours passed.
Phew-!!
A fifth circle was created.
“Wow… … Ah… … .”
A girl of the same age who introduced herself as a vampire exclaimed in admiration.
Cell was secretly impressed by this little girl named Charlotte.
Cell’s eyes can sense the details of what is happening in Jack’s body.
Should we say that the process and appearance of the circle being engraved are both visible?
But, Charlotte next to him seems to see and feel it clearly too.
[Cell.]
So I couldn’t even respond when someone called me.
[Cell.]
Only after hearing it twice did Cell jump up from his seat in surprise.
-Yes… … Yep!
[You don’t have to be so nervous. Just sit down.]
-yes…….
As Cell sat down, Valentine said.
[I can confidently say that the talents of the two of you are among the best in this continent. So, look carefully. That is the most ideal form of circle.]
Valentine’s finger pointed at Jack, and Charlotte and Sel followed his finger and looked at Jack.
[Even within the same circle, there are cases where the strength of power or magic varies, and that is exactly the case.]
Cell didn’t know what to call Jack sitting in the training ground and the human woman before his eyes.
Just a mere human?
no.
These two were not beings defined by such words.

god?
reply?
monster?
[It is so strong that it cannot be described, and it does not stop there. Each and every circle perfectly seeks to harmonize the body and mana. This is called mana oneness, becoming one with mana. If you can control it perfectly, then you will reach the realm of the Wuji-kyung 武極境. However, Cell.]
-… … Yes… … Yep!
As Cell, lost in thought and belatedly answering, stood up again, Valentine reached out and made Cell sit on his lap.
[You’re worrying about pointless things.]
-ah…….
The cell could feel it.
This woman, no, this person, sees right through my thoughts.

[Are you curious about my identity and that of my disciple?]
-… … A little.
[I can tell you about myself, but I cannot tell you about my disciple.]
Could it be because trust has not been built up to that extent?
The moment I thought that, Valentine continued speaking.
[Actually, I don’t know that much about my disciple.]
Valentine smiles.
Charlotte smiles too.
But Cell couldn’t laugh.
[I probably know better than my students what happened in that laboratory.]
-… … .
[You must have been scared. You must have been in pain. You must have had a hard time. You must have been lonely. You must have wanted to die.]
Tears well up in Cell’s eyes.
[Trust my disciple. As long as you are by that child’s side, no one in this world can capture you or kill you.]
-yes yes.
Valentine, who had been staring blankly at the cell, slowly reaches out his hand.
He gently stroked Cell’s head, and tears flowed from Cell’s eyes.
[Come to think of it, I’ve never seen it before.]
-… … Ugh… … Yes?
[I’ve never seen you smile.]
Valentine’s hand continues, and Valentine’s eyes are filled with warmth.
[Would you like to smile? I want to see you smile before my disciple.]
At Valentine’s words, Cell felt as if the lump in his heart had disappeared in an instant.
So I laughed.
Brightly.
[It looks good.]
Valentine also smiled brightly.

5 circles at age 14.
It may seem like I’m gilding my face, but it’s something unprecedented in hundreds of years of history.
however.
‘Was my body originally like this?’
No matter how I think about it, it seems strange to lump it all together and say it was an experience from a past life.
To be honest, it was a bit too much.
I was more focused than ever and made the circle as quickly and reliably as possible.
But as I did it, I realized that it was really easy.
When I made the 1st circle in the Marquis’ prison, and when I made the 2nd circle by Ron’s side.
I thought it was pretty fast back then, but now I’m speechless.
I jumped from 2 circles to 5 circles in just 5 hours.
After much thought,
‘It’s not just because there was no turbid energy in the body… … Is it because of the hormonal energy?’
Hon-gi is a higher energy than mana.
If we were to explain this in legal terms, we could call it the principle of priority over higher laws.
It is impossible for someone who is good at handling the spirits to be mediocre at handling mana.
Besides, my body is in the growth stage.
Advertisements
When the body in the growth period adapts to the marriage period and you train in the lower energy, mana, the speed and power cannot be the same.
To put it simply.
‘It means that I can become stronger than my previous life… … .’
I ended up laughing in vain.
Become stronger than your previous life?
Are you telling me to destroy the world?
That was when.
A thunderous applause can be heard from all around.
“Wow!!”
“This is the best!!”
I raised my head.
The actors standing on stage are bowing their heads toward the audience.
The title of the play is The Phantom of the Opera.
Personally, I didn’t like the play at all, so I was having all sorts of random thoughts, but surprisingly, my teacher seemed to like it and was clapping his hands like a seal next to me.
Cell and Charlotte being held by their Master.
Judging from the fact that they are both smiling brightly, they seem quite satisfied.
But this is the first time I’ve seen that little dragon kid smile.
I thought you forgot how to smile.
‘If I had known this would happen, I would have brought Thanos.’
When I formed the 5th circle and stood up, the first thing I saw was Thanos with his mouth wide open.
Should I say that I was stimulated by my appearance?
When I asked him if he wanted to go see a play, he shook his head and said he wanted to continue practicing.
So I just left it.
Well, is it easy to become the continent’s strongest prosecutor?
[I guess the play wasn’t that great.]
When I turned my head slightly, I saw the teacher smiling mischievously.
“Not really. It was pretty fun.”
[Is that so?]
“Yes. My vision is still hazy. The twist was also amazing.”
[Oh, by twist, are you talking about the part where Christine was the Phantom of the Opera?]
“Yes. Isn’t the twist really amazing?”
But the teacher’s expression is unclear.
Cell and Charlotte, who were next to him, also tilted their heads.
[They say the Phantom of the Opera was not Christine, but a man named Eric.]
“… … .”
[I guess it wasn’t really fun.]
I feel a little embarrassed.
hmm.
“Would you like to go eat?”
When we change the subject, the teacher chuckles.

[Next time, try to pick something that you think will be fun. Still, your acting skills are pretty good. The technique of putting mana into your voice is also good. It’s been a while since I had a fun experience.]
He shrugged.
If the master is satisfied, then that’s enough.
As I was walking towards a nearby restaurant, I spotted a familiar face among the crowd.
[The name was… Aveiro?]
“Yes, that’s probably right. Adventurer’s Guild Branch Manager.”
He was sitting on the bench with a very complicated expression on his face, wondering whether he had come to see a play or just to kill time, when he happened to turn his head.
Our eyes meet, surprise fills his eyes, and complexity takes hold.
Are you wondering whether you should leave or not?
He stands up from his seat and approaches me.
“I didn’t expect to see you in a place like this.”
“You weren’t following me?”
Aveiro shakes his head.
“Not at all. It was just a coincidence that we met here. And, are there any informants who would make their stalking so obvious?”
Honestly, even I think it looks sincere.
I glanced at my teacher and it seemed like he felt the same way.
And Aveiro right before your eyes.
It looks a little different than it did at the branch.
What should I say?
Should I say that it is a picture of someone without a mask?
anyway.
“You came to see a play too. Do you have a lot of time? You must be busy trying to get my money back.”
“… … I’ve already found about half of it.”
That’s a bit unexpected.
“You’re getting things done pretty quickly, huh?”
“That’s what it is.”
Then Aveiro looks at me with a strange look.
“Why? Are you looking at me with questions?”
“… … There was something like that, but I don’t think this is the place to talk about it.”
I ended up laughing hysterically.
In this situation, everyone’s attention is already focused on the situation.
The teacher’s appearance is already unique.
And then I turned my head and saw the man who had played the role of a ghost in the play approaching me.
“Oh, beautiful lady, if you don’t mind, would you do me the honor of serving you?”
The teacher smiles brightly.
[I’m sorry, kid. I’m a little busy today.]
“Haha, I see you have a prior engagement, Lady. If so, I would like to meet you again next time… … Where do you live by any chance… … .”
The ghost takes off his mask and looks brimming with confidence.
Advertisements
But it looks a little bit shabby.
Just when I was about to say something.
Aveiro stepped up.
He whispers something in the ghost’s ear, and the ghost steps back with a thoughtful expression.
And then he left that place, it was like he was trying to intimidate me.
“What? Why is this happening? But I won’t pay you a commission.”
“I don’t intend to charge a fee. It’s a commission. It won’t even take a week. I’ll come see you tomorrow or the day after.”
Just as Aveiro was about to turn around.
[Hey, have you eaten?]
Aveiro turns his head.
“Are you talking about me?”
The teacher nods.
“It’s still before the meal.”
[Then, let’s do it together.]
The teacher turns his head and looks at me.
It seems like a look that means, “Is it okay?”, but what can I say in this situation?
I have to go. What else can I do?
however.
“I’m asking just in case, but do you have any money?”
“……yes?”
“Did you really think it was free? It’s Dutch pay, man.”
“… … I have money.”
