Academy’s Power Master

Elf Village (2)

After finishing the conversation with El Deia, I ran towards the World Tree located in the center of the Elf Village.

The word that I needed his permission moved me, but I made the decision because I wanted to meet the World Tree at least once.

Obviously, even though I had started first, I was able to reach the front of the World Tree by playing with my tongue at the formidable speed of Eldea that was getting closer and closer.

“It’s big.”

A huge tree that encompasses the village.

The tree so huge that the entire village could be covered under the shadows was not enough to be called the World Tree.

“Is it big?”

“Yes, it is big.”

That’s monstrous speed.

Not long after I arrived, I nodded my head, biting my tongue as I looked at Eldea sitting next to me lightly.

Apart from Eldea’s relentless speed, the world tree was really large.

Because it was understandable that it is a tree that supports the world and a tree that has existed since the beginning of time.

‘Walpurgis is the parent.’

It felt a little funny to think that the tomboy-like great witch’s parents were the world tree in front of me, but that was for a while.

“How do I talk to the World Tree?”

“Well, there is no specific method, but there is no way other than talking directly to the World Tree… … .”

“Then I’ll wait and see. Are you okay?”

“It doesn’t matter… … Are you okay? No one knows how long it will take.”

“it’s okay.”

Eldea showed a slightly worried look, but I didn’t care.

It wasn’t a waste of time to spend time talking to the World Tree.

Even if they couldn’t talk until they left the village, it wasn’t a waste.

‘That’s how important the fruit of the world tree is.’

fruit of the world tree.

If it was to get the thing that would allow me to jump over the S-class wall, I could have waited that long.

And fortunately, it didn’t take long for the World Tree and I to start talking.

-He is a child who left a deep trace of my child. It’s a kid who has wandered outside and returned home. He is also a child recognized by Aldebaran. Do you have anything to say to me now?

The voice of an old man.

I heard it for the first time, but at the familiar and warm voice, I muttered blankly looking at Eldea.

“… … I’m going to talk to Seongse-soo-nim for a moment.”

“What?”

“Shh, be quiet.”

“… … .”

only a few minutes.

few days.

It was the time it took for the world tree, which I could barely talk to once every several months, to talk to me.

Eldea, who was absurd, was perplexed, but then quietly shut her mouth.

It was because the rustling of the branches of the World Tree was proof that they were really talking.

Leaving behind Eldea, who had become so quiet, I slumped into my seat, closed my eyes, and was sucked into somewhere.

* * *

“… … It’s similar to when I met Aldebaran-sama.”

– That friend and I will be the same age, so our tastes and methods are inevitably similar. Well, crucially, there is a big difference between that friend and me.

mental world.

A heavy old man I met in a space close to infinity came out to meet me.

When I saw him shrugging his shoulders and drawing a friendly smile, he smiled involuntarily.

Wouldn’t it be like this if you had a grandfather you’ve never seen before? enough to want

– Sit down first. Did you not want to talk to me?

“Ah yes.”

all of a sudden-

As soon as the words were finished, a tree root grew in the near-infinite mental space, and eventually became a table and chair of an appropriate size.

A wooden teacup was made on a table with an antique feel, and it was filled with tea made from the leaves of the world tree that I drank earlier.

“But drinking tea with leaves in front of the World Tree is a bit different.”

– Don’t worry too much. Humans think that leaves are a part of our body, but as a world tree, I am not a huge tree, but a soul body. Because that’s what you’re seeing right now.

“… … I will drink.”

-Have you already experienced growth once? As a soul, you will be able to grow once again.

“… … !”

The growth of the body by drinking tea brewed with the original world tree leaves only once.

After that, no matter how many liters you drink, your body does not grow at all.

It’s probably just a matter of getting your body healthy and clearing your mind.

But according to the world tree’s words, it means that drinking tea in the spirit world strengthens my body once more.

bum bum-

– It’s good to see you drinking well.

Watching the world tree happily looking at me emptying my cup full of tea at once, I could see the message window that popped up.

[The power of the World Tree overflows through your body.]

[The agility stat increases by one level. B -＞ B+]

“… … thank you.”

– Your luck.

With this, the stats of stamina and agility were matched.

Of course, A-grade in strength is still a bit far away, but I think it will be fine.

“Now we can have a serious conversation.”

-Yeah, what do you want?

Looking at the world tree, which calmly asks what he is asking for, as he looks like a kind old man, he pulled out a business.

“The fruit of the world tree. Give me that.”

-… … Whoops!

And the world tree, who heard my request, spouted out the tea he drank with his kind face.

I smiled broadly as I felt the spray of water wet my face like a pocket monster.

‘For the fruit of the World Tree, I can be baptized with water over and over again.’

fruit of the world tree.

If it was to get something that would break through the S-class wall, he could take any number of water baptisms and thunderbolts.

* * *

-… … Do you know how big your words are?

After a bit of confusion, the World Tree looked at me with an absurd face and asked.

fruit of the world tree.

Even though the huge tree is not the main body, it is the huge tree that symbolizes the world tree in the real world, and the fruit of the world tree was made by gathering the nutrients of the huge tree.

Just because it’s a fruit doesn’t mean it’s not an ordinary fruit.

So it was natural for the world tree to be so absurd, but-

“Yes, I know. And that it will be something that will protect me from the dangers to come.”

-… … You’ve been saving it and trying to give it to a kid like your friend.

“If you don’t have that, you’ll be fine because you’re strong.”

– No mercy.

“… … I have to eat too.”

Unlike Natasha, who has the talent of a hero, I couldn’t miss the opportunity to raise my physical abilities because I didn’t have the means of mana.

finally-

-gist.

“… … thank you!”

– Do you think of it as a gift to a child who returned to his hometown and his old friendship with Aldebaran?

The World Tree chose to give me its fruit.

Giving it over with a shaky face seemed like it was taking it from me, but it was really good.

It bothered me to say something meaningless, but standing in front of the sweet fruit of the world tree, I only focused on the rice cake in front of me.

-I’ll go back then. Prepare well for the coming tribulation, and use the gift I have given you.

“thank you.”

– The tribulation is not far away.

“… … Yes?”

tribulation.

The demon-related episodes could be said to have started in earnest from the middle.

So I also tried to prepare slowly, but did not prepare in earnest.

But it wasn’t long

“What does that mean-”

– Be careful. The danger is near.

I tried to find out about the danger by asking him a question again, but the World Tree only emphasized the danger, and soon I was kicked out of the World Tree’s mental world.

It was a pity, but I was able to get what I wanted, so I returned to the real world without much worry, and there was a huge fruit in my hand.

“… … Did you really get it?”

“Yes, the World Tree has taken good care of me.”

“… … You can’t miss it either.”

“I beg your pardon?”

“No, nothing.”

Eldea, who saw the fruit of the world tree, mumbled something with a surprised face, but it was good.

‘The fruit of the world tree. You’re mine!’

It was just fun for me to have the perfect thing to help my strength stats go to S-class.

ugh-

Of course, I didn’t plan on eating right now.

It was a judgment that it would be best to eat when muscle strength was just A+, and that judgment must have been quite right.

So, with the fruit of the world tree in my arms, I moved to the building where others were waiting.

“let’s go together. A human being chosen by the World Tree.”

“Call me Hayes.”

“… … Hayes. That’s a good name.”

Of course, Eldea was also there.

Hayes… … Leaving behind Eldea, who was pondering her name, I moved forward in a hurry.

* * *

A few days passed.

The elf village was full of the energy of nature, and it was like saying that it was a very suitable place to gather mana.

“It feels like my mana is increasing day by day!”

“It’s not a feeling, it’s real.”

Natasha and Bella.

The two wizards gathered so much mana that they couldn’t contain their joy.

“… … I could be stronger.”

“The spirits love it! I think I can even sign a contract with an intermediate spirit!”

Marlon Haster was satisfied with the amount of mana increasing day by day, and Estelle Bantam was satisfied with seeing the spirits happy.

In a life that everyone was satisfied with, there was only one person who was dissatisfied.

“… … Muscle loss Nandah.”

Hayes.

So it was me.

It was a great opportunity to gather a huge amount of mana, but it was useless to me without a connection with mana.

There are no exercise equipment, so there is nothing you can do other than bare body exercise.

I didn’t really lose muscle, but I continued to live a lazy and boring life that made me feel like that.

“Shall we go back?”

“no!”

“I’ll be back in a few more days.”

The desire to return to the academy seemed like a chimney, but the elves treated them well, and above all, all the team members opposed it.

Could it be bad to increase the amount of mana, get close to the spirits, and be welcomed by the elves?

Except for Heize, it was a happy moment for everyone.

“I wish something happened all of a sudden.”

After a quick increase in strength by one level.

I want to eat the fruit of the world tree right away and make my muscle strength S-class, but the current peace is boring and boring.

That’s why I’d rather have something happen- when I wish.

aa

A loud noise could be heard in the distance, shaking the entire elf village.

“… … I don’t really want that.”

Feeling Eldea, who was chatting next to me, looking at me with a hard face, I got up from my seat with a shaky face.

“Shall we go once?”

“Not bad.”

There is no way that an attack will happen just because I wished for it, and there is no way that only first-year students could threaten the elf village.

Eldea also relaxed her expression and suggested that I go with her, and in a moment of boredom, I followed her with a happy face.
