Episode 41. No, we’ll see.

It’s historically very common.

You dirty your hands for the sake of the country, but when you don’t need to get your hands dirty anymore, being executed for dirty hands.

Such a monster also attacked the Jugret family, which had contributed countless times to the war, but the family head ended up taking revenge against all the forces that tried to oppress him.

The moment I stained my hands with blood even in the age of peace.

Nevertheless, the current head of the Jugret family considered his decision correct.

Even in these times…

No, rather, because it is in this era, people like you must never disappear.

‘War will happen again.’

Bean’s father always said.

‘No one can be sure that this era of peace will last long. So, we have to be prepared no matter what. In order to protect the Empire as well as those who were enemies of the Empire, and furthermore, to be an addition to the necessary balance for peace.’

Peace only comes from mutual agreements…

It is a terrible misunderstanding. There are no deterrents to promises that are mere words.

Aren’t even the rescue units sent to the forefront for the purpose of rescuing lives exposed to countless murderous intentions just for reviving the enemy?

Treaties that rely on humanity are meaningless in the face of madness.

But power can control such madness.

If you know each other can threaten each other.

If the balance of power is right, we will never hurt each other carelessly.

‘Beans, never forget. What does peace come from?’

Her father, the head of the Jugret family, always emphasized this.

What does peace come from?

Is it from the promise that each other will not hurt each other?

Where does that trust come from?

Can peace really come from blaming those who violated that trust?

Who sets the standard, and even the fight between those who criticize and those who oppose can be said to be the result of a broken peace in the end?

Yes, after all, a promise made by mouth is of no use to peace.

The morality and order that people talk about ultimately comes from a solid system built in society, and it can only be established when there is a huge power and overwhelming power that can control it.

“…… Dale Enburton. Why did you accept a duel with me?”

That’s why the girl couldn’t help but feel a terrible hatred towards the person in front of her.

It is said that everyone will be happy if they are just friendly.

Because I know that those guys whose heads are full of flowers are the ones who will only cause chaos in this world.

“I want to be friends with you.”

“…Those thoughts. I guess that applies to other high school students as well, right?”

Do you think others will open up if you just reveal that you have no hostility?

No, peace achieved only through words is no better than a scarecrow.

On the contrary, just by giving the other person the power to ignore them, taking that weakness as a reason to show sadism, and displaying malice for no reason, because humans are beings.

“You know, none of the people there are welcoming you.”

Because a person who can only become good is a being who will only be crushed by being exposed to the world’s malice.

“Neither do I… I have no desire to participate in such nonsense.”

So Beans wanted the person in front of him to give up that attitude.

He hoped that a being with such potential and a talent that surpassed even himself would have an attitude befitting his position.

Only in that way did he truly believe that his efforts to surpass him were meaningful.

“But…”

Nevertheless, the boy still asks back.

“But I… Want to be friends with you.”

I just want to make friends.

Is it wrong to strive for such a simple ideal and insist on it even at the cost of blood?

“…You can’t hear me.”

From noble mtl dot com

Of course, if you look at it objectively, you can never say it’s wrong.

Because it is only possible for an absolute monarch like the emperor to disparage the opponent’s purpose as wrong, just because it is different from his own.

But that is why people always have to think.

In order not to interfere with your own goals, you have to figure out what other people’s goals are.

Before that, we need to understand the ‘objectified justice’ that society insists on.

‘Yes, that kind of understanding doesn’t exist in this little boy.’

Perhaps that is something that I inevitably lack because I have lived in a society called Leninslive where laws and norms do not exist.

That’s all I can understand.

In the first place, responsibility is the virtue of those who stand above the law. Because not everyone has to deal with it.

“Okay, I hope you understand that I mean it.”

“Then… ….”

“It is only understanding, not sympathy.”

So don’t let it crash.

To make you fall miserably from a place that doesn’t fit your fountain.

Assuming the responsibility, it must be the only salvation that can be given to the ignorant.

“So let me prove it. How clumsily you spoke those words.”

-Ugh.

The mana imbued with such a will vibrates quietly, and the air currents begin to swirl starting from the place where one steps.

“The position you are currently occupying is a position that can be attained through bloody efforts.”

The power derived from that rampage wildly due to anger, and slowly begins to subside through the coolness that came soon after.

– Blame it!

Soon, as the power contained in the land was converted into physical force, the land around the area cracked and fragments began to rise.

***

And.

“Creating a circle!?”

From that moment on, fierce exclamations erupted from all over the audience.

It’s not just students.

Teachers selected and recruited from the best people on the continent.

To the extent that even they spat out their astonishment, what happened at the gymnasium at this moment was considered absurd.

“Am I really creating a circle?”

Compared to the entire gymnasium, a 14-year-old girl is very small, but the haze that stood out around her was so clear that even its shape could be identified.

A state in which the mana gathered around gradually forms a ring, and furthermore, the rough flow gradually stabilizes.

It was the moment when the circle that proved the scale of mana users’ realization was manifested.

“How can that kid develop skills that no matter how good he is, he has to go to high school to create them?”

“Isn’t this almost unheard of in Maris?”

Creation of circles. With that alone, the girl proved to everyone here that she was a natural being.

But maybe some people, myself included, have a hunch.

That girl wants to do more than just create a circle.

“Seine-sensei, that’s…”

“Yes. It’s not just about creating circles.”

Yes, I knew that technique.

It was also used by a hero character belonging to the Jugret family in the game.

The technique used by a mage from the Empire who was directly active on the frontlines.

-Ugh.

The circle created from the body gradually sinks beneath the girl, and the power begins to be released while remaining in the ground underground.

The moment the mana you control interferes with the energy of the tectonic movement.

When the power was raised to the ground again, the shape changed to something other than a ring.

It covers 360 degrees in all directions, but the top is a curved terrain.

Like the glass that surrounds this arena, the shape to be called the “Dome” Was formed with that girl as its starting point.

‘A space that is not a ring.’

Theoretically, a shape that can attract and gather a much larger amount of energy than a circle.

However, it is a technique that criminals cannot even imitate as far as it is theoretical.

Unless you use a vision passed down from generation to generation.

“Are you the family’s arcane mage… ….”

Arcane Magic.

It is a unique skill passed down from generation to generation in a closed group, such as a family or church.

To be precise, it is the result of handing down the usage of ‘techniques that produce results without knowing the principles’.

In fact, as it is the result of repetition until a specific result is obtained, there are many cases where the principle cannot be interpreted or it is difficult for people outside the group to implement it even in modern times.

Of course, it is even more difficult for those with little experience.

Nevertheless, that girl succeeded in implementing a skill of absurd difficulty by using the Circle she had learned at an early age.

“Dr. Lloyd, are you thinking the same as me?”

“Yes, maybe…” ….”

Mr. Lloyd nodded in a cold sweat at the shocking sight.

Seeing the situation belatedly, he covered my mouth with his hand and opened his eyes.

“Now… I am sincerely glad that the war ended before that child became an adult.”

This is not an exaggeration.

Even though it’s still lacking, I’ve only felt this kind of sentiment for the motherf*cker.

To use an analogy, human nuclear weapons.

An existence that corresponds to the ‘asymmetric power’ that suppresses all hostility of the opponent just by existing.

At this moment, the girl’s potential displayed in the gymnasium showed the potential to reach that level someday, even though she hadn’t reached that level yet.

Just by collecting mana in the form of a dome rather than a ring, that girl will be able to handle ‘more than 100 times’ the mana that a normal person can handle.

-Deuddeuk, Kurleung!

Of course, it is virtually impossible to control all that mana alone.

No matter how much mana you can gather, if you try to control that power directly, the loss will inevitably be enormous.

Look at it now. Most of the dome’s mana, which was created from the girl as a starting point, spreads out uncontrollably, unintentionally creating cracks in the surrounding area and sweeping away fragments.

It’s not an exact metaphor, but if the mana gathered by the circle causes a loss rate of about 50%, the loss will exceed 95% when using the mana gathered by the dome.

Even with that kind of loss, the only thing to do is to hold on to mana, so it would be impossible to use ‘magic’ through application.

But if you look at it as an absolute value, not a ratio.

5% Of 10,000 and 50% of 100 show a total difference of 10 times.

In other words, it is like overpowering by twisting the terrain with a difference in power that is 100 times greater in momentum alone and 10 times greater in actual combat.

Those who encounter it will surely feel as if they are facing an army alone.

“Anyway, it’s a family’s vision, but mastering it is another thing.”

Talent or hard work…….

It’s a state that can’t be achieved with just that. After all, mana comes from will.

In order to keep the vast amount of physical force within herself, she needs to have that much willpower, which means that the girl’s willpower is just as great.

The desire to stand above everyone else.

To the extent that this moment overwhelms everyone.

“Wow… ….”

But only one person.

There was one person who was the only one who was staring calmly at the stage where even the teachers, who were said to be the best on the continent, could not hold back their astonishment.

“…Awesome.”

Dale Enburton.

What should we call that boy who is in awe of the genius who embodies the army in his own body?

“Isn’t that something that needs to be dried? If you saturate it with that much mana, it won’t matter if it’s protection…….”

“No, let’s see.”

Looking at that innocent look, I started to have high expectations.

“I want to see it once. How far can the child I lead go?”

The boy who learned to control his powers in just one week.

The anticipation of how far I would have grown in a place where my eyes could not reach.
