The Greatest Man in the World Hides His Power

46 – Manor Affairs – 1

The day has come to return to the Stein Manor.

Originally, they had to teleport, but this time Cecil decided to return with them, so they got a separate wagon.

“Wouldn’t it be fine if I teleported first and then came back?”

“Teleporting isn’t that easy.”

There are quite a few things to prepare for teleporting once.

It’s really disappointing to hear that not only mana stones but also a lot of materials go into it, and there’s also a waiting time, so you can’t just use it like that.

“Then I can’t help it. Come on. Let’s get on.”

“Are you driving a wagon?”

“I couldn’t hire a coachman to go to the Stein estate. They seem to be busy these days.”

Originally, it would be right to hire a coachman, but you need someone.

“It must be because my undergraduate life at the academy started in earnest. I have to go here and there for practice…”

So there are no coachmen. What do you say when you say you won’t run long distances because you’re working short distances?

Then I have no choice but to do it.

“By the way, do you know how to drive a wagon?”

“This is the standard.”

“There are people who can’t even do the basics.”

“Your lord Cecil can do what I can’t do.”

If Cecil gives the enchantment this time, the growth rate of the territory will increase by at least 30 percent.

That’s something I can’t do either.

The only thing a warrior like me can do is slay the invading enemy.

If you look at it from a productive point of view, you can say that Cecil is much more amazing than I am.

“Is it the right place… That’s a good story. Then please drive safely.”

After saying that, she sat in her chair and turned to her thesis. Seeing her focus, I immediately moved the wagon.

As she left the academy area and entered the Guandu in earnest, she took her eyes off the paper she was looking at and opened her mouth.

“I have a place to stop and go on the way.”

“How are you?”

“Lake Plenian. We need to get some lake grass there.”

Lake Plenian. It is a lake in the middle of the road from the academy to the Stein estate. It doesn’t matter because it’s the way to go anyway, but why are you trying to save the lake pool?

“Didn’t you say you got all the materials for the enchantment?”

“That’s true. You can use lake grass to make medicine.”

“Do you know how to limit yourself?”

“I also got a license as a pharmaceutical company.”

“…Wow. That’s amazing.”

“Lucy can use healing arts, but with the help of medicine, the healing arts will be more effective. I should be as helpful as possible.”

She spoke in a light tone and focused on her thesis again, as if not to say anything more about her. I wonder if a real workaholic is like that, seeing that he doesn’t think about resting even during such a short time.

A place to stop was added, but there was no particular problem. Monsters and thieves appeared in between, but neither I nor Cecil were the ones to be caught by such things.

When they arrived at Lake Plenian without any special problems, she got off her carriage and stretched herself lightly.

“Hmm. I’m going to lose my eyes after reading the thesis for several days.”

“Are you okay?”

For several days coming here, she slept through the papers. She

I don’t know why she is focusing so much on her thesis.

“Other countries are also quite interested in the development of weapons capable of producing sword energy. There will be a lot of subsidies coming in soon… To think about how to use them, you need to review the papers that have been published so far.”

“It’s not easy being a sage. Isn’t it harder to become a great sage?”

“That’s right. Even at the academy, there aren’t that many people with a great sage’s degree. Ah. Here they are.”

Responding lightly, she plucked some grass from the lake and showed me one that looked like seaweed.

“Get as many of them as you can. They’ll be by the lake.”

“Okay.”

Cecile and I walked around the lake, raking as much grass as we could. After collecting enough lake grass to fill two boxes, Cecil tapped the boxes with a satisfied smile.

“Okay. Great. I could make quite a few potions with this.”

“That’s good. Anyway…”

I glanced at the forest connected to the lake. While Cecil looked at me, puzzled, I put my hand on the hilt of the sword.

“Why don’t you come out because you can see the hair?”

“……”

Realizing what I meant, Cecil put her hand on the staff she had tucked around her waist. How long did you wait for that A man in a black robe began to slowly emerge from the forest.

“The Black Alchemist… That’s right. There was a problem with that too.”

As Count Estal had told you, the Black Alchemist was aiming for Cecil. To be precise, both Cecil and Lucy.

“Cecil Stein. I need to go with you.”

“Why?”

It’s not that I don’t like it, but why.

It was a very Cecil-like remark. At that attitude, as if he had to solve the questions he was curious about, the Black Alchemist spoke in a serious voice.

“Wouldn’t you like to prove the existence of God?”

Proof of God’s existence. It’s a story I heard before.

To use the twins Lucy and Cecil to bring a god into their bodies.

The black alchemist uttered his words and tossed the paper he was holding in his hand.

Upon receiving it, Cecil calmly began to read her documents, and the Black Alchemist crossed her arms and waited for her to read her documents.

“It’s a pretty interesting topic.”

“Then…”

“But it’s a specification. First of all, there are too many problems here. There are many hypotheses that have not been proven, and theories that are close to far-fetched are mixed in. This paper is to prove the existence of God.”

She mercilessly threw the thesis back.

“It sucks. A failing grade. Fix it and resubmit it.”

“…My thesis is wrong?”

“Yes.”

“…Yes. I did not ask for understanding.”

Is it because you can’t communicate in words? The Black Alchemist pulled something out of her arms.

He lightly lifted what resembled a syringe, inserted it into his thigh, and injected its contents into his body.

“How dare you rate my thesis as poor? Then check if the results of my research are also poor!!”

The body swells. You grow taller and your muscles begin to show.

Light radiated from its eyes, and the killing spirit and hostility felt throughout its body was comparable to that of a top-notch monster.

“Huh. Is it a body strengthening type? I chose that as a way to hold the god…But it’s clumsy to me.”

Cecil snorted at her and pointed at his wand. At the same time, the light at the tip of her staff shot out.

I’ve seen it before.

A high level monster was burned in one shot.

“…Khehehehe. It tickles me.”

“Oh, what?”

But the black alchemist just snorted. Although the light is burning his body, he recovers faster than a burning body, perhaps thanks to his enormous regenerative power.

“Oh. This is a bit strange. It seems that some hypotheses have been physically tested.”

Her own magic was blocked in vain, but instead of being disappointed, she was only admiring her.

Um. I don’t think now is the time for this.

“Cheonyeong. It’s your turn next.”

“What should I do?”

She pointed to the black alchemist who was walking towards her stride and said in a light tone.

“Cut it down.”

“As ordered.”

I drew my sword. And blow.

– Sudden!!

When I cut off her arm, which has grown quite large, it cuts off and falls to the floor without much resistance. Glancing at it, the Black Alchemist chuckled and gave her powers.

-Charrr!

At the same time, dozens of tentacles were pulled out from the cut surface. Cecil lightly clapped her hands as they came together to form her new arm.

“Great regenerative power. It shows that some of the theories in your thesis are correct. I’ll give you extra points for that part.”

“hahahahaha!! It is a body that will hold a powerful being called God! Although I am not qualified, I made that body as similar as possible! If this power is transplanted to you as well, you and your brother will be able to become gods! !”

To become a god, you have to become a monster like that.

I imagined Cecil and Lucy changing like that.

I don’t think it’s particularly fun.

“Can I try one more time?”

“Huh? Huh?”

“Die!!”

An outstretched fist. I dodged it and put strength into the hand holding the sword.

– Ugh…!!

Darkness begins to fill the sword. It’s not black The blue energy starts to coalesce and coalesce, turning into a pitch-black light.

“That’s what…”

I didn’t have to answer.

I let go of the sword dyed in a completely black light, and at that moment, drawing an arc of black light, I flew freely and quickly cut through his body.

“Keuuk!!”

The sword that had slashed him dozens of times and circled in the air drawing a black picture in the air returned to my hand.

In the meantime, he made an effort as if he was trying to regenerate.

“Uh, why?! Why?! Why doesn’t it play…?! No… No…”

You’re weak for a god’s body.

The one struggling into the air is slowly dying. Watching this, I put the sword back into the scabbard, and Cecil, who had looked at me, gave me a questioning look.

“When I looked at that guy’s thesis earlier, it seemed that damage beyond a certain level would be impossible to recover… It certainly is. But what was that just now? I don’t think it’s a sword skill.”

“Um…”

How should I explain it?

“I just mastered the sword.”

Yes. It’s just a normal swordsmanship.
