[After revisiting, the current quality of these chapters are about a 5/10. Starting from Chapter 122, we replaced the editor, and we’re aiming for a 7.5/10. Tuesday is the last day for us to gather data regarding the demand for this series. Cheers!]
It’s easy, isn’t it?
I couldn’t see the progress of the Black Box mastery like the other skills, but it felt like the A-rank froze at 99.99%. Up to A-rank, the skill increased quite normally, but it was as if an invisible wall was blocking it.
And finally, I understood the reason. I thought Black Box was a common skill, assuming that the First Hero developed this power. That was a mistake. The First Hero was also a “student” of Fantasy in the past. He, like me, used the power of the Status and was constrained by his level and skills. So he invented this skill and fled.
Of course, there had to be “something” that allowed the current rules to be ignored.
”I looked at everything too lightly.”
I became nervous because the easy thing didn’t work well, but Master Mollan showed me the right path. My soul and body calmed down my mind clearing. My worries washed away.
And then the solution that I couldn’t see before began to form in my mind. And here was the result of it.
▷ Type: Skill
▷ Name: ■■
▷ Rank: S
▷ SS: □□□□
▷ S: Record.
▷ A: Confuse the target.
▷ B: Destroy the target.
▷ C: Consign the target to oblivion.
▷ D: Immunity to Chaos.
▷ E: Immunity to destruction.
▷ F: Immunity to oblivion.
The S-rank effect of the Black Box, which was covered by the mosaic, was revealed to me.
Record. Judging by the previous order of effects, I thought it would have something to do with “oblivion,” but a completely different effect appeared. I was supposed to react like, ‘What does this “record” mean?’ But I already knew the answer.
“The Chaos Artifact was created with this effect, wasn’t it?”
The technique of sealing one’s power in an object was like recording on a tape. It’s similar to a magic square, but it can be created unlimitedly with a medium that you bought. But this power is different.
The only problem was that when you create each such item, you lose your strength. To do this, you need to be ready to become weaker. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the first Hero’s brooch gave to his wife was a part of himself.
And the conclusion…
I don’t need this S-rank effect. I don’t want to share my power with anyone. Although it would be possible to give a gift to my parents, unfortunately, it was impossible to meet with them now.
Miss Trainee. There is no delivery service here, right?
►Confirmation: Of course not!
I would create a tennis racket, put the power of the Black Box into it, and send it to my parents. It will be difficult to conquer the whole world with its help, but superiority at the national level would be quite possible.
When I thought about it, a good idea popped into my head. If I get good grades this time and return to Earth, then it’s okay, but I need to keep a backup plan in mind if I fail. I will ask for help from someone.
►Question: To whom?
Good question, Miss Trainee.
On Earth, I met the Old Prince. He was able to escape the fantasy world on his own. When the Old Prince was hammered by a female Golem and weakened, I asked him…
And was surprised by the Old Prince’s way.
►Interest: What is it?
If you promise not to tell the faculty, I’ll tell you.
►Oath: I swear I will keep it a secret!
Good decision, my secret friend! The Earth and the Fantasy dimension are linked by the Black Box.
What does it mean? The probability that two people from different galaxies of the limitless universe will meet again approached zero. But what happens if you tie these people with a strong thread that will never break? With such a thread, they will find each other.
But this was easier said than done. If people were connected through a huge space by a thread, it wouldn’t last even a second. Space is expanding, and dark matter hasn’t been properly investigated at all. It would seem that no thread would be capable of such a connection.
…But what if there was? Black Box ignored all such rules. This is the unbreakable thread.
►Admiration: Incredible!
With the help of the transcendental skill, ‘Injection’, the Old Prince went hunting for the “power of chaos” scattered across the continents of Fantasy. And then he returned, following the same thread. I want to use his same method.
►Note: But cadet Kang Han Soo, isn’t the Old Prince dead?
Oho! Miss Trainee, you say such terrible things! The old Prince isn’t dead.
He became my experience points and will live forever. A beautiful mermaid remained on Earth, which the Old Prince treated so well. Maybe there are other survivors too. If they are bound by the Black Box, there is another opportunity for the Old Prince to return to Earth.
I had hope. First, send the Old Prince to Earth, and then track his Black Box and return me.
“Well… that’s something to think about if I fail the 9th playthrough.”
So far, everything had been going smoothly for me. If this continued, there should be no problem with the release. Then there will be no need to risk using such untested escape routes.
I’m a coward, after all.
► Embarrassment: You’re just very careful…
In any case, I experienced further growth that didn’t show up in my Status: mainly, the evolution of my body. The most important example was the wings of a just Hero. Falling straight into the Pacific Ocean when the Old Prince and I clashed again in battle, I was at a disadvantage.
I needed the wings. Then, I decided to create wings, and my body reacted to them.
If I don’t want this, my lower body won’t move even from the softest touch of the most incredible beauty, but I couldn’t stand the touch of Master Mollan even for one second. This is simply impossible.
But it is a cold-blooded reality.
Puduk-puduk.
I rebuilt my body. A terrible sound emanated from each bone, but if this way I can become stronger, then it’s nothing. Even without the skills of the fantasy world, I must overcome the Five Disasters without any problems. More samples of strong creatures will be needed.
“I need Noebius’s help.”
The King Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius. My dear friend had strong scales and deadly poison. I wouldn’t want to disturb him in his old age, but he was the only strong being nearby.
At that time…
MOLLAN?
Master Mollan began to sway from side to side.
”Hmm? Teacher. Are you so glad we’re leaving soon?”
MOLLAN, MOLLAN!
As if confirming this, he continued to swing.
”Ha…”
I was so upset that I let out a heavy sigh, but bI could understand his relief because of Lanuvel’s actions in recent days.
*
We spent six days in the village where Master Mollan lived. After that, I followed the same route as in the 2nd playthrough.
”Kuku…!”
”Bu-Buu!”
We headed towards the settlement where the Orcs lived, whose average level was 50. Even if I ignore something or pass by, it won’t affect my reputation, achievements, or personality in any way, but there was a knight from the guard of the king of elves wife.
I didn’t want to interfere with the elf, who decided to devote herself to sensual pleasures with the orcs, but during the 2nd playthrough, we couldn’t talk, so I had little information about the situation. If I save her, maybe there will be some hidden event?
I was curious, so I decided to intervene.
What will the event be? If I graduate this time, I will not know anything. I don’t think anyone will be among the graduates on Earth who know anything about this event. Because at this time, ordinary Heroes became a punching bag for Alex.
”Hero! It’s full of orcs!”
”We’ll deal with that!”
“I’ll join too, Hero Savage.”
I didn’t dissuade them. The spirits that harassed my body every day could have dealt with it in no time, but if the dummies had such a low level, they would only slow me down. They must be at a level that they could defend themselves.
”I think they should have at least level 500…”
If you are traveling with an S-rank Hero, then your level should be at least this high.
”TuTu~ ?!”
”JuJuu~ ?!”
The trio very quickly dealt with the orcs in the forest. A porter with good spear skill and a level of almost 300 easily exterminated the orcs of level 50. Lanuvel burned them with magical flames, but it was annoying how she spent time in the middle of a fight to act cute.
Thief E was the most outstanding.
”Come to the call of Elfheim! Greatest Magic Sword!”
It wasn’t an Artifact of Chaos, but a Magic Sword passed down in her family from generation to generation. The blade of the sword was covered with Dark Energy, and the dagger from her belt was covered with snow-white Divinity.
In the right hand is Dark Energy. On the left is Divinity. Since Thief E didn’t have Black Box, she couldn’t mix the two powers, but because of the “Chaos” race, she could use them separately. Usually, you had to choose one.
I was genuinely surprised.
”You have an amazing ability to waste energy so stupidly!”
She was fighting normal level 50 orc scouts, but she was already putting so much effort into it. If she had the Infinity skill like I did, it would be understandable, but Thief E was an ordinary inhabitant of this world and not the same as Hiplia.
”I can deal with it!”
”Oh! I love your grit.”
Then you have to kill about 500 thousand orcs. I will pray that you have enough strength.
► Embarrassment: Kang Han Soo, isn’t that more than the 2nd playthrough?
Miss Trainee, you’re careful. About 100 times that much, isn’t it?
I am only training them so that they wouldn’t die from the poisonous breath of my dear companion King Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius. Therefore, I roughly estimated…
The three of them needed to catch about 500 thousand orcs each.
”Wow! The hero considers you a simple Porter, but your mastery of the spear is amazing!”
”Haha! I’m flattered. After all, you, Miss Lanuvel, aren’t only an archaeologist but also an outstanding magician. Oh! Of course, Illina is also just incredibly wielding twin blades.”
”Enough speeches. Well…although you’re pretty strong too.”
They made such a big deal of dealing with regular Orc scouts. It felt unpleasant to watch them try to praise each other. So, I decided to cheer them up a bit.
”Tomorrow, we will be fighting one of the Five Disasters, so persevere in your skills and levels.”
”What?”
”Huh? Pardon?”
”What did you say?”
Isn’t ten days enough to kill an Ancient Dragon? The success rate was confirmed on the 2nd playthrough, and my situation was much better now since the number of assistants increased from two to three. With these, you could bring down the Demon Lord Pedonar.
►Embarrassment: Few companions can meet your criteria, cadet Kang Han Soo.
Oho! Miss Trainee. This S-rank hero will lead by example.
”Follow me. I’ll show you how to level up quickly.”
Taking the dummies with me, we approached the orc settlement. Here lived male orcs and an elf who monopolized their love and attention. We passed through an inconspicuous wooden fence and penetrated deep into the settlement.
”CuCu.”
”VuVu.”
The orcs passing by couldn’t find us. The race of orcs with a pig nose had a well-developed sense of smell. Therefore, they blindly believed in their sense of smell. Just as the sentry soldier believed in his eyes and ears, the orcs reacted only to the enemies they could smell.
I took advantage of this weakness. Thanks to the Spirits of the Wind, our smell evaporated upward, bypassing the orcs. No need to get dirty with orc blood like in the 2nd playthrough. Thanks to this, we could get to the leader’s log house without ever getting caught.
”HuHu…!”
”Sob, sob!”
Inside the log house, an orc and an elf were engaged in merging their two races. Unlike the chilly street, it was quite hot inside.
▷ Race: Orc
▷ Level: 387
▷ Specialization: Chief (Leadership = Tribe↑)
▷ Skills: Combat B, Leadership C, Hand-to-Hand D, Resistance D, Endurance E …
▷ Condition: Excited
As far as I remember, the skills of the Orc chieftain hadn’t changed, like the elf who lay under his huge carcass.
”Sir Hero! We need to save soon…Hmph!”
“Lanuvel, if you don’t shut up right now, I’ll trade you with that elf.”
“…”
We quietly left the orc settlement. I started the briefing.
“The reason I brought you with me and brought you inside… isn’t intelligence. Shut up and listen carefully. If you want to level up quickly, you need to be dexterous in hunting. I’ll show you an example of how to end the hunt quickly without endangering the elf.”
I summoned the Lightsaber in my right hand as I explained kindly.
”You need to apply a horizontal swing. You have only to cut the air at the waist level of the orcs. You don’t have to aim for the heart or throat. The orc will die if you cut it in half~.”
I invested experience points into it.
Level 2765 → Level 2665
A bright green glow burst out. Then I made a horizontal swing with the sword at the orc’s waist level.
Level 2665 → Level 2813
Wooden fence, lookout towers, barracks, and orcs. Everything was beautifully cut…all but the elf, lying in an obscene position. And the levels that I spent on it recovered instantly.
”Sir Hero?”
”Huhu, huhuhu!”
”How is this possible…?”
The dummies reacted differently. With facial expressions like that, they would make great comedians. I dispelled the sword.
”Well, how is it? Easy, isn’t it?”
There was no answer. Everything seemed to be so easy and understandable that they had no questions.
