36 – Fishers of Men (1)

As he was passing by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen. I will make you fishers of men. Immediately they left their nets and followed.

New Testament Hannah Chapter 3 Verses 16-18

After my short adventure in the middle of the night, I returned to my dorm room and lay down on the bed.

There is nothing to worry about because Io went outside after confirming that she was asleep earlier.

I looked at the small pill in my hand.

No my hidden peace!!!

Artifacts have gone and turned into pills!!

It’s a pill….

Was Ivan Perisic well versed in alchemy or medicine?

As an excellent mage, he has left a great legacy in artifacts and magic, but he is new to pills.

An ‘avatar’ is an artifact with built-in magic that creates a clone of one’s body.

The clone created through this artifact was not an ordinary replica.

It is an alter ego that can share not only the appearance and abilities exactly like mine, but also the subspace of the main body.

And the best part is that when this alter ego gains a new ability or stat, the main body also gains that ability.

Conversely, even if the alter ego is seriously injured, the main body does not suffer the same damage.

No matter how much magic was developed in the world of [Deus Ex Machina], Only the artifacts created by Ivan Perisichi were rare enough to make such an alter ego possible.

There is also a function that assists the main body’s thinking, making it possible for the user to freely manipulate not only the main body but also the alter ego at the same time.

Well, it’s just the setting, but creatively using it was impossible due to the game’s system. In a game, at most, events happening simultaneously in two different places at the same time?

However, once it became a reality, it became possible to utilize 100% of the abilities of this piece.

However, there was a downside of being unable to leave the academy because there was a limit to the distance that the created clone could fall away from the artifact, but without that, the performance would be deceptive to the point where it wouldn’t make sense.

If my alter ego trains separately or takes an elixir through this piece, the speed at which my total amount of magic increases will double.

I thought I was trying to get this artifact for this purpose, and Ignis also asked me to get this artifact for the amount of magic power.

Until I saw this pill.

Ivan Perisic’s hologram was said to be a ‘secret art’.

Doesn’t secret art sound like a skill?

Does eating this make me learn ‘avatar’ like a skill or magic?

If that’s the case, it might be more convenient than carrying around and using artifacts, but…….

I still don’t know why the contents of Ivan’s hologram and the contents of the Hidden Piece have changed. Even if the world has changed because of me, it’s been the last 10 years.

Ivan is a person from 200 years ago.

…… Let’s eat first

Those are Ivan’s pills. It won’t do me any harm

The next day.

“Nice to meet you, freshmen. I’m Marcus, and I’ll be teaching you a class on ‘Military Self-defense’ for the next semester! I’m counting on you!”

Along with Sunny and Andre, I was taking part in the only class all academy students were required to participate in, ‘Military Self-defense’.

“I know that all of you have the ability to do one strand. However, no matter how talented a person is, life is about dying in an instant. This ‘Military Self-defense’ is a class designed with the goal of enabling you to overcome even if you encounter such a situation!”

Now, in my eyes, I saw Marcus, the first-year professor in charge of ‘Military Self-defense’.

And…….

At the same time, the sea came into view.

The city where the academy is located is a completely inland city called Caland.

You can go to the nearby sea by riding a horse for at least a day.

Still, I was watching the academy’s ‘Military Self-defense’ class scene and the sea at the same time.

As if sharing someone else’s view like a game.

I swallowed the ‘Avatar’ pill yesterday and was able to acquire the ability of ‘Avatar’.

It’s similar to the ‘Avatar’ of [Deus Ex Machina] That I know, but a little different.

The characteristics of vision sharing, ability sharing, and belongings sharing are exactly the same as that ‘Avatar’, but there are different characteristics….

From noble mtl dot com

There was no limit on distance.

In the first place, the avatar created at the time of obtaining the ‘Avatar’ ability was not inside the academy, but in the room of Ivan Perisic, who had been teleported earlier.

It was too late, so I went to sleep yesterday, but I woke up today and came to class, and at the same time broke the room with my avatar and escaped.

And while looking for that place, what I saw was this sea.

Anyway, even though I’m moving two bodies at the same time, I don’t feel any discomfort at all.

It’s really amazing. After coming to this world, I had a lot of strange experiences, but this is more mysterious than any other experience.

Even if I’m concentrating on moving the avatar, my attention won’t be distracted from my main body. It feels like my brain has become a dual core.

The main body is participating in the academy’s ‘Military Self-defense’ class, but the avatar continues to explore in an unknown space.

The sea…….

Where is this?

Even Ivan Perishich wouldn’t have built a hideout outside of the Calandra Empire.

If this is a place within the Calandra Empire….

Territories with the sea are Galilee, Haifa, Beersheba, and Hebron.

It’s hard to understand just by looking at the topography. You should also meet someone else.

While walking aimlessly alone like that, I came across fishermen who were organizing something on the beach.

The fishermen were pulling their boats to the pier, probably on their way back from fishing. The net was empty for such things, but…. I guess the fish didn’t catch well.

“Look at me.”

Some awkward words came out, probably because it was the first time I had ever experienced being thrown out like this with my body alone.

In the meantime, at least I’ve been with Hans, or I’ve only been to places I know.

“Who, who are you?”

The fishermen who got off the boat and cleaned up were startled by my sudden presence.

The fishermen seemed to recognize that I was a nobleman, probably because my original appearance was copied as it was and I was wearing a luxurious robe taken from a subspace.

“My name is Luke.”

I unknowingly spit out the name and was surprised. I gave my name without thinking…… Well, they’re just passers-by, so it doesn’t matter.

“I got lost and I started talking like this to ask for directions. What kind of territory is this?”

“Oh, I see. This is Galilee.”

Galilee. Is it the Galilee that touches the domain of beastmen?

It’s pretty far away. I heard that you were damaged by the recent flood, but I can’t believe I came here. Well, even if I came, it would be an alter ego.

“I see. Thank you.”

Now the question is how to act.

My original plan was to find hidden peace in class through ‘Avatar’ within the academy, or to develop my own strength through training….

There is no need to do that in a state where the distance limit has disappeared like this.

It is also possible to collect hidden pieces outside the academy that have not been collected in the meantime.

Hmm…….

“Brother Simon~. I had a hard time~! I brought you a meal…… Eh? Who, who are you?”

Then, on the other side of her pier, a woman carried her basket.

“You must be a noble person who got lost here. Look at that cutie.”

Her fisherman, with whom she had a conversation with me, approached her and whispered in her own language. I could hear everything because I strengthened my hearing with magical powers.

“Wow, that’s right. Oh, how are you?”

“Hello.”

But that woman… Something feels familiar. Something… ….

Flash

At that moment, a memory of something flashed through my mind.

Why didn’t I remember that?

Galilee Episode!

In [Deus Ex Machina], Students went to Galilee for practice.

It was such an episode that I solved the mission entrusted by other nobles as an academy student, and then I met a brother and sister.

The names of those who met like that are Simon and Iaco.

The two possess strength and special gifts that do not match living as fishermen in rural areas.

However, in the process of defeating the episode’s boss, Simon dies and Iako becomes a special scholarship student and transfers to the academy.

I never thought I would meet these two here!

Simon’s ability was very strong and special, but it was a pity that he left right away, but if you save Simon, you can’t take him with you!

Huh? Wait for a sec.

Why was I just thinking about collecting hidden pieces?

Based on the memories of [Deus Ex Machina], We can gather such strong people as allies.

Why didn’t I think of that until now? As if you had subconsciously limited your thoughts on that side.

…… Good.

Decided.

With this alter ego, he gathers talents and talents outside the academy.

The plan changes completely.

I like it even though it’s not what I originally intended.

“Brother, did you catch a lot of fish?”

“No. They didn’t catch me at all today.”

Once you’ve decided, you don’t have to worry any more.

“Dear Simon.”

“… Yes? Did you call me?”

If you ask me to follow you like this, you won’t follow me. No matter how aristocratic he may seem, there is no way he will follow someone he sees for the first time.

But if I show you something like this, the story will be different.

“Go to the deep water and cast your net again. Then you will be able to catch fish.”

“Noble sir, we have tried all night and have not caught one. …… But since you say so, I will cast the nets.”

…… Huh? I was thinking of something persuasive, but suddenly?

Ah, now that I think about it, this is how nobles feel for commoners in this world.

If you don’t listen to me, you don’t know what kind of disaster you’ll get, so you follow me?

Even if I don’t have an escort, this world is a world where magic and sword skills exist. Being a nobleman, he had no choice but to have something special, so without even thinking about attacking me, Simon launched the boat to catch the fish.

Well, whatever the reason.

I just wanted to open it up.
