103. Niflheim (15)
We have almost reached our goal here.
First of all, I was able to get a lot of useful information.
What the heroes of Niflheim think of me. And the relationship between the hero and the master. About how to use the power I have roughly.
Next was skill acquisition.
I was able to learn intermediate weapon skills much faster than training alone.
Separation of skills was not bad, but most of all, learning to combine new swords was worth congratulating. Intermediate weapon skills can be obtained even if it takes a long time. However, this skill can only be learned here. As it is an excellent skill, it will be of great help to me in the future.
Finally got new equipment.
A ring that can manipulate information and a growth weapon.
If you use the ring properly, you can greatly increase the area of activity, and growth weapons have tremendous potential. It would be nice to look forward to the future.
‘There’s also something about Aaron and Jenna.’
I smiled bitterly.
Aaron must be concentrating on training with Muden right now. I can’t predict what the outcome will be. I just have to wait and watch.
“Master, are you there?”
A knock was heard.
It was Nisled.
“come in.”
“Excuse me.”
Nisled opened the door and entered.
As always, Nisled, who was heading towards the bed, stopped.
“……master.”
The bed is perfectly made.
Not a single wrinkle was visible.
“Today is the last day. I paid attention.”
I put my sword on my belt.
It’s been exactly one month since I came here. As of yesterday, Niflheim’s recruitment training course was over. Today was the day of awarding of certificates and resignation ceremony.
“By the way, why am I in first place? I haven’t done anything.”
I said disgruntled.
There is a problem with education. That is, in the grades released yesterday, I ranked first among all recruits. Except for the first class, I rarely went out.
<Of course. Because the Master is the best among 100 people.>
Yurnet’s words rang in my ears.
“It’s stupid.”
<It is also because of the justification for giving the item.>
“You mean this?”
I hit the hilt of Bifrost’s sword with my elbow.
Right now, this weapon has become an A-class magic sword by information manipulation.
<Yes. It is a reward for the first place in training in Niflheim. Please accept without hesitation.>
I clicked my tongue.
It does need a justification. It was clear that Amkena would look after me when I got back.
“What about second place?”
<Jenna Shirai. 1st place in the thief section. It’s 2nd overall. He was a very special talent.>
“Don’t touch me. I have to take you.”
<I told the warden.>
‘That guy was there too.’
Eccle Pardisa, the head of the training center.
According to Nisled, he came to my room several times to apologize to me. But I was always out at training or doing errands, so I couldn’t meet him and went back.
I took out an envelope from the drawer.
Inside is a note. I don’t have the time to meet you now, but I thought it would be better to tell the story, so I wrote it. Recipient is Eclat. The content is that we will do our best in the future. Nothing special.
“Take this to the warden.”
I handed the envelope to Nisled.
Nisled bent down and accepted the item.
‘Today ends.’
Fog gathered in the corner of the room.
A shadow was formed that imitated my appearance.
The welcome will return to the room after the completion ceremony. And after packing up, we set off and return straight to Taoni.
“You did a good job too.”
“It was an honor to serve you.”
“What is glory?”
I smiled and walked.
The goal is the dimensional door next to the bed. It is connected to the 13th floor of Niflheim. It was made by Yurnet last night, asking her to stop by. stepped inside
The fog that obscured my vision dissipated.
The scenery of the garden, which I had seen many times, caught my eye.
“Master, I’ve been waiting for you.”
Yurnet stood up from her seat.
It wasn’t the plain patterned robe he always wore. He was wearing Niflheim’s uniform.
“This way for now. I’ll prepare a meal.”
“Don’t prepare. This is enough.”

I picked up the bread from the basket.
I don’t like to eat a lot of breakfast. I took a bite of the bread and said.
“Why did you call me? You didn’t let me go until the graduation ceremony.”
I haven’t seen Jenna face to face in quite some time.
“I’m leaving today, couldn’t I call you?”
There was a slight dissatisfaction in Yurnet’s eyes.
The expression of dissatisfaction then changed to regret.
“When you’ll be back… I don’t know exactly.”
can’t answer
If I leave here, I don’t know when I’ll be back. It was true.
“Master, I want to ask you one last question. Are you sure you want to go back to Taoni? You can stay in Niflheim. Siris too…”
“…”
“I’m sorry. You already answered. Let me excuse you.”
Yurnet bowed her head.
I sighed.
“I’m grateful for the work here. If it wasn’t for you guys, I would have had to go back a long way.”
“No. We are only sorry that we can only do this.”
“You guys are so… amazing.”
I continued.
“If I were you, I’d be very annoyed. Roll it tight, put it in a difficult battle, and deal with it.”
“We’re not like that at all.”
“That’s amazing.”
Four heroes, including Yurnet, have been with me from the beginning of Niflheim to the present.
In the meantime, I had given harsh orders several times. They put them into battle with an extremely low survival rate, or drove their comrades to death for making minor mistakes.
‘Except for Siris, I never rebelled.’
Even Siris refused only the orders I gave while half-eaten.
Other instructions were accepted without hesitation. It was a judgment for efficient attack, but some instructions at that time were close to suicide even when I think about it. The old Amkenna looked ridiculous.
‘If only I had thought more deeply.’
Many failures came to mind.
Heroes who died because of my mistakes in judgment. Among them, there were a lot of guys who had the same potential as the current main party. If I had carried out the attack a little more thoroughly, they would not have to die.
why didn’t you know
While researching and analyzing like that.
I couldn’t even imagine that the hero of ‘Pick Me Up’ was actually a living being. I just fell into the prejudice that it was a mobile game and handled it carelessly.
“Master, what do you think?”
“It’s nothing. Just some miscellaneous thoughts.”
I shook my head.
“Anyway, I want to repay you.”
“If you do…”
“Except what remains here.”
Yurnet became sullen at once.
I said with a smile.
“There’s nothing I can do for you.”
“No. If you just do it… even if you contact us from time to time.”
“Communication?”
“As I said before, the ring I gave you as a gift has a communication function. You should be able to talk to us in Taoni too. It won’t last long.”
Yurnet taught me how to use it.
Turn the ring to the left, bring it close to your mouth and say.
“Like this?”
“Sounds good.”
Yurnet smiled.
“Once a week is enough. How are you doing, is your body healthy? If you haven’t gotten caught up in a difficult situation. If we have anything to help, we’ll come to you.”
“It’s very burdensome.”
I spoke quickly before Yurnet fainted.
“Anyway, okay. I’ll call you once a week. If you need help from Niflheim, I’ll call you.”
“whenever.”
I thought to myself.
‘If the time comes to borrow Niflheim’s full help.’
The situation is already at its worst.
so much that it is hard to get your hands on. I can only hope not to go there.
“Master, it looks like you want to meet Lidigion too. He said he would give you advice.”
“Don’t come out to see me off.”
I stepped
Yurnet stood still by the table.
‘Is this the last?’
The scheduled departure time is 2:00 PM. If you leave here, you won’t be able to see Yurnet for a while.
Yurnet bowed to me.
Her thin white hair flowed down.
“Yurnet.”
“yes.”
“I will never forget your help.”
“I wish Master good luck.”
I smiled and left the garden.
Next, the farewell to Lidigion proceeded calmly.
He taught me about swordsmanship until the moment we parted ways.
“I’ve told you everything I have to say.”
As they left, Ridigion said.
“The next day you call me, I’ll just show you.”
Behind the conquered Lidigion, three swords swayed.
came out of iron
There are now three members left. However, all three areas are empty.
‘I’ll see you someday.’
I went down the elevator.
Go into the annex on the second floor and organize your luggage. There is nothing to take care of. Two auxiliary daggers and a reserve health potion were all. I put on my belt and left the room. My illusion had already disappeared.
I went out to the parade ground in the annex.
The recruits gathered together, ready to leave.
“Here, brother! Here!”
In the corner of the parade ground, Jenna waved.
Joined Jenna.
“I’m saying goodbye to this place today. I think it’s been a year.”
“It wouldn’t have been wasted time.”
“I did. You taught me in detail. Thanks to you, I learned well. But I like my original place rather than here. I have older sisters and brothers.”
Jenna scratched her cheek and laughed.
Following the instructor’s guidance, the procession headed for the dimensional rift departed.
“I want to take a bath when I get back.”
“Isn’t the bathroom better here?”
“The facilities here are better, but I should say it’s more friendly there. Anyway, that’s right.”
We walked down the street chatting with each other.
There were three people when they came, but one seat was empty. Jenna didn’t bother to bring it up.
“How will things change when I go back? A lot of new colleagues must have arrived, right?”
Landgrid 07 was waiting in the hangar.
It was the airship that I had been on when I came here. got on board
<It’s only been a month, right? Did you all learn well? I hope your experience in Niflheim will be of great help to you!>
Liddell said cheerfully.
At the same time, the airship started slowing down.
A dimensional vortex was spinning at the bow of the airship.
Light surrounds the airship.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a familiar sight.
Volcanoes spewing lava and thick sulfur clouds. It was outside Niflheim.
<It’s dangerous outside, don’t stick out. Can’t you just come out?>
I put my arm on the railing.
In the airships that came and went around, Niflheim’s tower was getting farther away.
‘When will he come next time?’
There’s nothing you can’t do if you’re forced to come.
<Dimensional leap, ready!>
The airship began to shake.
I looked away from the tower.
That moment.
“…?”
One end of the floating island next to it.
A blurry human figure came into sight.
It’s far away and I can’t see it well. I focused my eyesight.
‘That’s it.’
Golden hair like the sun.
She was looking this way with her sword on the floor.
Prominences emitted from the sword dyed the sky red.
‘… … under.’
I’ve seen it several times.
I couldn’t forget the color of that flame.
‘Levatein.’
Siris Argentheim.
Niflheim’s strongest man and number one in the hierarchy.
‘Did you know.’
Siris is staring at me.
The distance was not great, but the burning eyes were clearly felt.
‘Not yet.’
I laughed.
Now is not the time to meet that guy.
Later, when I am truly strong.
“Brother, where are you looking at?
“not a big deal.”
I looked away.
The light of the dimension leap was enveloping the airship.
