362 – Treasure Hunt (1)

I accidentally killed Leo again, but somehow resurrected him.

I know that Jesus was resurrected only once, but Leo did it twice.

However, it made no sense for a mortal to have no aftereffects after being resurrected twice.

“Why am I here?”

“Don’t you remember?”

“I don’t remember anything at all, brother. I remember going into the forest…”

First of all, it is short-term memory loss. Leo’s memory was completely cut off upon entering the forest.

So he responded that he did not understand why he was in the hospital at all.

However, because it was an incredible accident in many ways, I had no choice but to tell you everything. The rumor will spread anyway, so it’s easy to find out.

“Squirrel? I’m sorry, but have you lost your memory too?”

“It can make you unable to remember for the rest of your life.”

“I’m sorry, but I’m shocked to hear that I was attacked by a squirrel or something.”

Have you been hit yet? Leo denied the reality, saying it was absurd.

There was no use in denying it; Porori’s thunderbolt left a strong mark on his body

When you are struck by lightning, dark traces resembling plant roots are likely to be engraved on your body.

This is close to a scar and is difficult to erase. Something similar was immediately engraved on Leo’s body

‘I just wish my memory would disappear completely.’

It might have been better that way since he was such an asshole. This guy was just evil itself.

However, even if Leo dies, it is a problem. If that happens, he wouldn’t be able to take it easy in the Matra Empire.

Literally, existence itself is a precept. Karas is well aware of this, so there is a high probability that he will leave it alone.

‘It might just be a living ransom.’

When he wants to go somewhere, he sends Leo instead. They are so-called hostages.

Since we don’t know what will happen in the world, the more blood ties there are in the imperial family, the better. One person has already gone to goal at the hands of Karas.

“Then all you have to do is kill that damn squirrel! What are you doing?!”

“Shut up, you useless little brother. Before I killed you.”

“Yes, brother.”

Above all, in front of Karas, who is truly crazy, Leo can’t help but be indifferent. Look at it turning into a small octopus.

While Leo is easier to predict because he is an asshole, Karas is impossible to predict. That’s why he likes chaos.

“And you’d better start by thanking Sivar. He saved your life.”

“Last time I broke my head with a bottle, can’t I just pretend it never happened?”

“If you don’t want to break up with me again, bend down and apologize.”

“Yes.”

Is this what you mean by bowing down and accepting me? It is clear when you see him bending over with his face rotten.

I feel like I just want to put my feet on top of my head and take the picture. I didn’t like every single thing he did.

‘It’s cheap even if you get punished.’

I secretly asked Karas for a favor. Please spread the word that he was punished by heaven rather than being punished.

Since it was a lightning strike handled by a spirit creature anyway, it is not surprising that it was heavenly punishment. The thunderbolt is the sky, and the sky is the will of God.

Karas also accepted my request, probably because he thought it made sense. Leo already has nowhere to fall.

“In return, I hope to receive an invitation from the imperial family?”

“I’m not going. I’m busy.”

I don’t know about anything else, but I don’t think it will be as good as that. Now I have to go to either Tatar or the East.

As I said before, I am planning to go to Tatarstan or the East for training purposes. The level of difficulty varies depending on where you go first.

Currently, more weight is placed on the Tatar side, but the Academy has put it on hold because the situation in the East is unusual.

‘In Soul World, a rebellion broke out at just the right moment.’

I don’t know if that’s still the case. Anyway, as long as it is semi-established as Tatar, Kara’s proportion will increase significantly.

Here, if she even receives an invitation from the imperial family, she becomes so crazy that she has no choice but to leave. I have no intention of getting involved in politics right now.

Anyway, I thought about resurrecting Leo, who had been resurrected twice in one day, a third time, but decided against it. I don’t want to be bothered for no reason.

-aaah!

“?”

Just as I was leaving the hospital, I heard a scream that I assumed was Leo’s.

I wondered if Karas had really hit her head with a bottle, so I turned around again. I can’t hold back the screams.

Soon, when I entered the intensive care unit where Leo was, a complicated situation in many ways unfolded before my eyes.

“Doctor! What do you mean? Explain it again!”

“It appears that the lightning strike caused a problem with the nervous system.”

Leo is holding the doctor by the collar, and the doctor is making a sad expression even though he is being held by the collar.

And Kara and Diana are watching the situation from afar. Even though Diana didn’t know, Karas’ reaction was really surprising.

Normally, he would smile at everything, but he had a truly sad expression on his face. I became even more curious.

“What happened? Why is he like that again?”

“You’ll find out when you listen.” This time, even I can’t help but sigh.”

“Isn’t that actually a good thing?”

What on earth is this? I looked at Leo with doubt.

“I’ll tell you again, it will be difficult for the prince to spread his descendants in the future. Although he is not completely crippled… If that place does not stand, it will all be meaningless.”

“Then you need to treat me somehow! You’re still a doctor after all this?!”

“I’m sorry. I’ve seen quite a few people hit by lightning, but this is the first time I’ve experienced something like this in my career as a doctor. Even surgery will be difficult.”

“Ah… Ah…”

Leo collapsed helplessly at the doctor’s words, which were almost like a death sentence. What is out of focus is a face full of despair.

Afterwards, he looked at the ceiling with a face as if he were about to leave this world at any moment, and muttered helplessly.

“I… I can’t believe I’m a eunuch… I can’t believe this body is a eunuch…”

“··· ···”

“It’s ridiculous. It’s ridiculous! Hehe…”

Originally, if you were struck by lightning, you would become a eunuch. I tilted my head.

However, the force of lightning itself causes great damage to the nervous system, so it is not surprising that paralysis occurs somewhere.

Leo was just unlucky. And for Leo, this is the biggest punishment.

‘Did Porori hit that place when he struck with the lightning?’

It’s not out of the question. If that happens, Porori has really been given an appropriate punishment.

Or maybe the Gulag thought this was a bit… And adjusted(?) A little. Anyway, it’s a good thing.

“··· ···”

As the doctor left, Leo just looked up at the ceiling with a dejected expression. Even the lenses are dead.

Since I can no longer do the things I love so much, living is no longer living. Of course, it’s good for other people.

In the future, if a rumor spreads that Leo is a s*xual impotent, all the female students who are attached to him will fall out.

You may say that you can approach someone just based on his title as a prince, but if that’s the case, then it’s true love.

The caste system is structured so that one can only rise in status by having the prince’s child. Simply put, it is insurance.

Now that all that insurance has evaporated, it’s the worst in many ways. His position as a prince is also precarious.

‘It’s just a shell left.’

How can something like this happen? It’s really strange to see something like this.

At the same time, I was alert. I too have been struck by lightning many times.

There is no way that I will not end up in the same situation as Leo.

‘Gulags are also men, so they don’t do things like that.’

It’s kind of an unwritten rule. Unwritten rules between men.

Even if he is the enemy of Buddhism, he will not do anything to kick the critical place, the most critical place.

Because as a man, I know that pain all too well. Even colored magic is no different.

They don’t tend to kick the testicles in the middle of a fight, unless they overwhelm you with pure skill and then castrate you.

“My life is over… I have no reason to live…”

“··· ···”

“God… Why did you punish me so harshly…”

You still haven’t come to your senses. It’s because I’ve been acting like a fool so far.

I wish I could live as an eunuch for the rest of my life. Since we are the same man, it had to be that way.

“··· ···”

“······?”

Ah. We made eye contact.

Leo, who had been lamenting for a long time, turned his gaze towards me.

He looked at me for a while, then jumped up as if he thought of something.

The eye light that he had been on the verge of going out just a moment ago also came back, albeit slightly. With the light of hope.

“Yeah, that’s right! That guy! Didn’t you tell me earlier?! That guy made my heart beat again with a thunderbolt!”

“That’s true.”

“Well, then… Don’t you mean I can get my body back?! The doctor just said that it was damaged by lightning!”

“··· ···”

This is a truly admirable solution. I was more impressed with admiration than with absurdity.

How can you think like that when you’re not even a single cell? He really seems like an idiot.

I feel like an asshole and want to give it a try. But I think I should tell Karas first.

“Karasu.”

“Speak.”

“You have younger siblings. Did you split their brains in half when they were born?”

Kara is shocked by my tremendous harsh words.

Hehe.”

She let out a really strange laugh and covered her face with one hand. It looks like he failed to laugh.

[Faith rises!]

Chaos was the same. It’s not often that people attack my faith based on my words rather than my actions.

Meanwhile, Diana, who had been hit for staying quiet, argued with me.

“No. Why are you inserting me when I’m just sitting still?”

“Because they are similar.”

“Please don’t compare me to that idiot. Please.”

In my opinion, both are similar. If we only look at intelligence.

Diana is more rational, while Leo is closer to instinct.

“I’m serious! Try something!”

“I can do it. I can do it.”

“Then immediately…!”

“There will be side effects instead.”

“Side effects?”

Leo is shocked to hear that it is a side effect. Still, it appears that human intelligence remains.

To be honest, it is a procedure with a very high chance of failure. Moreover, I am the type that is far from ‘detailed’.

I looked at Leo who was nervous and held out the ax and said.

“It explodes.”

“It explodes? Where are you going?”

“Both. Pillar or egg.”

“··· ···”

“Do you want to do it?”

The answer was fixed.

*****

After Leo’s eunuch incident, the Academy was troubled by the Forest of Chaos issue for a while.

Most of them were stories about spirits living in the Forest of Chaos, which Lord responded to appropriately.

Until details are confirmed, access to the Forest of Chaos, or more precisely, the Porori area, has been restricted.

Even though it is not complete control, an official notice was issued saying that large penalty points will be imposed as soon as one enters the area.

Thanks to this, time passed as rumors grew, and soon the long-awaited day arrived.

“The midterm exam will be held soon. It’s more complicated than the practical exam, but it’s not that difficult, so don’t worry.”

It’s midterm exam season. The second-year midterm will be held following the freshmen midterm.

After revealing the period of the midterm exam, Diss looked around at the students and opened his mouth. It’s about the theme.

“The theme of the midterm exam is… A treasure hunt.”

“Treasure hunting?”

“Yes. It’s a treasure hunt.”

The content of the theme that Dis brought up was very brief.

“Scores will be divided according to the number of treasures found. Teams will not be divided, but scores will vary depending on the number of treasures found. And…”

Treasure hunt. And…

“If you obtain the treasure guarded by the instructor, you will be given an overwhelming score over other treasures.”

Another fun was planned.
