chapter 40
Elementalism (3)
“It’s Aldebaran….you have a relationship with a pretty great being.”
“I know. But next time, will you spit on the side where I am not? Do you feel very uncomfortable?”
After washing my body in the shower facility in the health room and changing into clean clothes, I ended my conversation with Walpurgis.
And, of course, Walpurgis was also well aware of the Aldebaran I had signed a contract with.
“why? There are quite a few people who want to drink the coffee I spit or want to be beaten.”
“Unfortunately, I am not. Or do you want me to?”
“…well, something is vague. Maybe it’s good or maybe it’s not?”
“….That’s Okay.”
Let’s talk about bittersweet for a moment-
We went straight to the point.
“It’s a middle-class spirit in Kwongang….I said that the child had a connection with a higher-level spirit, so you’re saying that it’s almost certainly okay to go up to a higher-level spirit?”
“It would be like that.”
Intermediate spirit in Kwongang.
Considering that Elena will be able to easily contract up to the higher spirits in the future, I am a being who can command even higher spirits in Kwon Kang.
Walpurgis smirked at him and tapped me on the shoulder.
“It’s a total monster. At the age of 15, an intermediate spirit in Kwon Kang. If this is enough, it wouldn’t be strange if the Empire would take the dukeship~”
“Don’t make fun of me. Kwon Kang is difficult to use without mana stones, and it is several times more difficult to maintain and fight an intermediate spirit differently from other spirits.”
“It’s a joke, it’s a joke.”
Of course, the problem was that all of them were like a mirage in the desert.
Kwon Kang needs mana, and to me, who has the damn restriction of mana extinction, mana could be said to be synonymous with mana stone.
In other words, without mana stones, there is no mana or power.
Spirit summoning was similar.
This mana is supplied indefinitely from Aldebaran, but my body cannot withstand the thick mana of the spirit world.
In the end, it is unreasonable to use intermediate spirits in battle, and for now, only low-level spirits are available.
In such a situation, even if you make a contract with a higher spirit, it’s a picture cake anyway.
I let out a sigh as I watched Walpurgis patted his shoulder with a smirk.
“This guy’s body is always a problem.”
“Didn’t you ever think you were here because of that body?”
“…well, I can’t deny that.”
A body that is naturally unable to have mana, but has great superpowers.
Without this body, Walpurgis would not have been able to attract attention, and he would have been just an ordinary extra with a bit of knowledge in this world.
‘I’d rather this be better.’
Instead of lacking something, there was something special about it, and it wasn’t too bad to see the outstanding man slowly covering up his shortcomings.
“By the way, you know about Aldebaran. It’s a little surprising.”
“Now that it’s come, it’s not surprising that it’s like that.”
“Well, you’ve been like that since the first time we met.”
Walpurgis didn’t pay much attention to the fact that I had information about Aldebaran at an age that looked straight through him.
On the contrary, I had to show interest from my side.
“How do you know, Walpurgis? The story of Aldebaran-sama belongs to little-known secrets.”
“That’s right. But I seem to have forgotten who I am for a moment, and I am the first witch.”
“Ah, you are as old as this continent…”
“Less than that!”
puck!
Flying tree roots hit the head.
it hurts badly
Certainly Walpurgis also seemed to be a woman.
As soon as I can say a word about my age, I see a creepy check flying in.
Anyway.
“So, do you know about Aldebaran-sama?”
“At first, Aldebaran, the first spirit king, and Yggdrasil, the world tree, are closely related. So even if you don’t want to know, it’s hard not to know.”
“…why is the world tree suddenly appearing?”
Aldebaran, the first spirit king, and Yggdrasil, the world tree of the elves.
The relationship between the two is not dealt with in detail in the game, but I thought that Aldebaran was also roughly related, considering that the four elemental kings were well summoned by elves around the world tree Yggdrasil.
But aren’t you talking to Walpurgis now?
It was only natural that I was surprised when Yggdrasil, the world tree, suddenly popped out.
of course-
“Oh, didn’t you tell me?”
“What?”
“Is my mother Yggdrasil, the world tree?”
“…when did you say such an important thing!!!”
The sudden pop-out of Yggdrasil, the world tree, was a fairly closely related story.
“The last name of Pena is then…”
“One of the many names of the World Tree. There was a time in the past when they were called Pena.”
“…I have a lot of surprises today.”
Not only was it not enough to see Natasha and Elena’s life-threatening decisions right in front of their eyes, but now they know the secret of Walpurgis’ birth.
what day is it today?
“Then Walpurgis-sama, would you get to know the elves as well?”
“Roughly? Occasionally we go and contact and meet.”
“…I don’t feel comfortable talking about elves like a neighbor who lives next door.”
“It’s like a real neighbor who lives next door to me. Those kids who are much younger than me.”
“Elena is also for Walpurgis-”
“It’s like a distant cousin. There must be a stark age difference. Still, he said he inherited the blood of a high elf? Then it will be a little closer.”
Ah~ I remember the past and it was good~ and I can definitely feel it when I saw Walpurgis smiling.
‘…That’s why they’re called Munchkin NPCs.’
He has the same body shape as a little kid in front of him and has become friendly with each other, but Walpurgis is the first witch and a transcendent who has lived far away.
The average stat is S, and in terms of magic, it is a monster among monsters between S+ and SS.
In particular, considering the length of time he has lived, it can be seen that he is an SS or higher level existence.
‘It wasn’t that I didn’t care too much about Natasha.’
A cold sweat broke out as I remembered the first time I met her and tried to change my mind by selling Natasha.
If an event occurred and I hadn’t shown transcendental strength, wouldn’t I be the fertilizer of the tree I am today?
“Anyway, it’s encouraging to see that the number of things you can handle has increased.”
“It is.”
It is encouraging enough to be able to use elemental techniques even if it is second to whether or not you can handle intermediate spirits properly.
Because those who thought only of strength were more likely to be embarrassed by the sudden elemental magic and open up a gap.
“Grow up well. If you learn the spirit art, it will be helpful when you meet the elves later.”
“Oh, I guess.”
Elves like beings friendly to nature, and elementals are especially fond of them.
It is the best if you are a Elementalist who has signed a contract with a high-ranking Spirit.
If there was Estelle Bantam, who inherited the blood of the elves for nothing and signed a contract with the highest level spirits and even the spirit kings, it was not easy to enter the elf village in the game.
“But isn’t it a free pass with Elena?”
“…don’t talk back!”
“….Yep.”
Of course, Elena has a rare morale talent by her side, and she has the blood of a high elf, so maybe Elena can swallow the elf village itself.
Still, Walpurgis didn’t want me to neglect her spirits, and I respected her wishes.
In the first place, there are not many kinds of abilities that I can handle, but I have to work hard to learn even if it is spirit art.”
“There will be exchanges with other academies soon. It would be great if I could show you the spirit art at that time.”
“Before the exchange… it will definitely help.”
exchange before.
My heart was pounding as it came close to my nose, which is also called the mid-event of the beginning.
Meetings with other characters and confrontation with the middle boss, Bert Halsey, etc.
There are many things to gain and do in the exchange battle itself, but what I was most looking forward to and worried about was the battle with the middle boss, Bert Halsey.
‘…can you pass it well?’
Worry was unavoidable.
There was an unexpected person named Elena, but that was because I was told that there might be an additional enemy that I did not expect to appear in the exchange battle.
“Should I be stronger?”
“Yeah, should I be good enough to win? Is it light too?”
“Well, if you become a god, you can do that.”
Defeat Walpurgis lightly – maybe even the final boss, the Demon King, is impossible.
Of course, apart from that, in a world where it was impossible to know one inch ahead, it was not so good to believe in the memories of the game and fight, so I could clearly feel the importance of training.
“What are you planning to do during the exchange?”
Even so, I asked her about her schedule, as it is self-evident that it would be reassuring to have someone as big as Walpurgis by her side.
“I want to go a little farther to get the ingredients to make the mana tobacco you will use. After all, there were quite a few health teachers besides me at that time.”
“….That’s too bad.”
“Oh, I want to see you, but hold on. After all, the exchange isn’t that long, is it?”
“…Yes, it is.”
Unfortunately, Walpurgis didn’t seem to be in the academy at the time of the exchange.
It’s like the story goes in the game, but I couldn’t help but feel sorry for it.
You’re going because of me, but I can’t stop you.
I woke up from the bed in the infirmary, looking at Walpurgis with his palms fluttering with a strange expression on his face.
“Why don’t you take a break?”
“I don’t think the children who will come to rest will leave me alone.”
“Ah, that’s right~ Come to think of it, does it mean that another person has increased? Ira, a high elf who is now interested in my daughter, a hero, and the Spirit King…. Be careful. It would be difficult for even one person to handle, but if there are three, my body could be divided into thirds~”
“…don’t say anything creepy.”
To be honest, when Walpurgis clicked on the part I was worried about, I felt chills rising without me knowing, and I strongly denied it.
However, it is true that I am concerned about the characteristics of the female personnel who have been around me recently, and that their abilities are beyond imagination.
“…but you can’t get too far away.”
“Are you going to take all of them? That’s great.”
“It’s not like that.”
“I know, I support you. Come with your life The fragmented body will be enough to connect them together.”
“…that scares me more.”
Who are you trying to turn into Frankenstein?
Oh, was Frankenstein the name of a doctor?
Anyway, while arguing with Walpurgis, I let out a deep sigh at the sound of footsteps coming from outside the health room.
“I’m already excited.”
“Would you like me to give you some energy?”
“…If it were normal, I would have told you not to play around, but to be honest, I really want to drink now.”
I have no stamina left to take on two or three of those who are too heavy for one.
Mental strength is natural.
As soon as I received the energizer from Walpurgis to supplement my lack of stamina, the door to the health room swung open and women with colorful hair rushed to me.
“Hey, are you okay?”
“I think my body is too weak, should I get some medicine?”
“Heize, Heize, Heize. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Heize because of me…”
“…Large, it’s not good when a man faints frequently. I brought some good medicine to take when I’m in a hurry, so take this.
Natasha, Bella, Elena, and Estelle Bantam.
Despite the visits from splendid greetings, his hardened face hardly opened.
It was about two months before the exchange.
And that day, I even missed the difficult mentor and mentee classes with Ren, who suffered from them all day.
