Chapter 147 – Narcissism and Narcissism -1-

Now that Robert has had the accident he’s been waiting for, there’s no reason to voluntarily stand guard at the academy right now, so he’s been concentrating on training lately.

In order to find Deganello, which I had erased without a trace, the imperial guards and people skilled in searching for people were mobilized and scratched the academy and the capital.

Since there are no traces, they are wanted, but everyone is naturally forgetting them.

Considering the criminals’ personal information and montages that are updated by dozens and hundreds in the blink of an eye, the only people who really want to remember Deganello and be caught are Robert and Isaac, or their families and acquaintances.

I’m not a victim, but I keep paying attention, so this empire is a bloody scene where blood is exploding every day.

Of course, when it comes to Deganello, I’m already on the dark side.

‘Next time, should I move to a house with a larger yard rather than a house… Do I want to become a manager?’

A time when Rike is devoting herself to her studies at her academy.

I was training in the yard with my top off and spirited.

Piing-!

Even though it was a chain, it cut through the wind so fast that it made a sound like a blade.

He swung Gleipnir continuously, without stopping, and melted it into his head and hands.

In order to increase efficiency in training and not to create simple and uniform behavior patterns.

Even if it’s a yard, think of it as a different space every time, and you have to change the type of virtual opponent and swing it.

If the width and distance are limited by themselves, the hand technique used is different every time and the head is used continuously without rest.

“Pu-hu-!”

I spit out the sweat that stung my eyes and tasted salty in my mouth and drank the water lying in the corner.

‘…If you think about it calmly, the extensions have improved. My proficiency hasn’t risen to the point where it’s obvious yet.’

Since the time invested is short, it is an obvious fact that there is no need to think deeply.

The basic mechanism for wielding chains without getting tangled is complicated, but once you master it, you won’t be able to operate it unconsciously.

I think my level when I actually used the [Chain with Lee Mae Mang-ryang] Was at that level.

But when dealing with Gleipnir, my mind is clumsy and busy, like a fledgling with a weapon for the first time.

‘As the woman in the image said, am I getting a penalty for living like a flirt with various weapons? It’s a bit of a hassle.’

The mana flowing through the body was visualized as an aura and poured into Gleipnir.

I tried to create a variable while thinking about the unique length control ability, so the level of difficulty did not increase slightly.

In my head, even thinking about this alone is overwhelming. I don’t even think about applying other small functions yet.

‘Still, our pretty girl deserves a name…’

Even if the sound of the song comes out naturally, Gleipnir has a demonic charm that you can’t help but fall in love with even considering the difficulty level!

Even compared to the famous weapons made by the famous blacksmiths of the empire, there are more than one or two points that I feel that the level itself is different.

Deganello’s attack and defense are laughably pierced, but the hardness that leaves no scratches is natural.

When white flames or auras are sent, the conductivity of mana itself is different from normal weapons.

Unlike the unique movement and shape of the chain, there is no sense of heterogeneity when trying to use a skill or aura, so it feels comfortable like a part of my body.

He tried using hidden swords or weapons made by famous blacksmiths, but there was nothing like this.

This is the simple yet most effective part.

The performance and potential of this guy, which is dependent on the user’s capabilities, has infinite possibilities for development according to my ability.

Gleipnir can be seen as a weapon that grows with me and an indicator of my growth.

‘Does it raise your eyes too much?’

The performance of this chain is incomparable to any weapon I know.

I am worried that I will feel awkward and uncomfortable if I come to a situation where I have to use a different weapon in a real battle with an equal opponent.

…
…

Come back from the bakery, a fixed routine for Rike and Dawn.

Her training, which began after having breakfast together and watching her go to her academy, continued until Rike returned from her class.

“Brother~!”

“How are you? I’ll be back soon.”

Rike made a small heart with her hands and sprinted into the house.

‘Cute.’

Chin-

Sit on a chair in the yard and prepare for the end of training.

For me, the end of training is not a stretch like a cooldown.

Washing dirt or dust between the seams of Gleipnir clean with water.

It’s not an ordinary item, so there’s no need to worry about rust or dullness due to moisture.

Finish by wiping clean with a damp cloth.

You can cut off the dirty parts and lengthen it again with mana, but this is a process to show my sincerity to Gleipnir, who has feelings.

‘I’m sure he likes washing… Is it good to be clean whether it’s a weapon or a person? Or simply because it’s cool?’

It was what he felt after cutting Deganello into pieces and pouring out the flesh, internal organs, and blood from Gleipnir on the spot with holy water.

Unlike petting, when you wash and wipe it with care, you are happy as if you are dancing.

Kiik-

Let’s wrap up our training and come home to wash up.

Rike returned to her academy conquest and was preparing dinner today wearing my oversized clothes.

“I’ll go wash up~”

“Brother?”

Staring at me with her purple eyes, I kissed Rike, who pointed her finger at her own lips, and quickly rinsed her body with cold water.

After taking a shower, helping Rike prepare dinner, setting the plate and setting her cutlery.

Ricke hugged me from behind and spoke her words.

“Looks like Chloe is looking for her brother.”

“Me?”

“She recommended a restaurant to Seria and me and said she should make a present for a man, so isn’t she trying to repay the ice cream?”

“Ah~ I’ve been asking for a meal since before. You don’t have to overdo it…”

Until recently, even though she didn’t have classes, she continued to spread around the academy like a keut, so she might have thought about that and searched for her.

Even if you look for it, it’s only today – Considering Chloe’s tendency, it must have been an act with a big heart, but it became regrettable.

“Can I stop by for a while tomorrow?”

“Brother, you’ve been busy with training lately. Wouldn’t it be okay to wait until the actual class?”

It’s strange that I feel like I’m trying to get some attention.

Considering the nature of her future sister-in-law, she may still be consuming considerable mental strength.

“Um~ I’ve been staying at home too much lately, so it’s about the academy… Shall we eat out together for lunch tomorrow? If Rike can come out.”

“Really?! I’ll come out unconditionally!”

“What about the menu?”

“What my brother wants to eat!”

When she invites her, she strokes the delighted Rike like every first date and selects the menu together.

‘I’d rather have a stew that’s soft and easy to eat rather than greasy. A place where you can properly stock tea and milk…’

Should I go to the academy and finish my business with Chloe before lunchtime starts?

Having lunch with Rike and going to the academy to do a Hanryang cosplay is also a concern.

After the decision was made and it was said that it was an academy, something came to mind.

‘Come to think of it, when can I get the library basement pass?’

I may be preparing, but I wonder if I should press once more while I’m gone.

*****

She was forced to sit in the place where Hellbroom, who had made a significant contribution to expanding the roots of Nemanatas, one of the three major warlock groups, had disappeared.

Ismay did not hide her annoyance, saying that it was inconvenient outside the gate, even if she rode the finest carriage like now.

“Ah~! Walking around isn’t good for me. Can you take this seat quickly?”

“I will study hard.”

Bernstein, who was learning her job by assisting Ismay, followed her silently, maintaining her expressionless expression even though she sometimes got hysterical.

Bernstein is the only newcomer who has shown talent for disguise and alteration black magic using sacrifices, and if time passes and she learns the art of living, she may be able to play the same role as Hellbroom.

Upon hearing the news of her, Ismay passed the procedure that her new recruits had to go through when she first entered her Nema Natas, and put her Bernstein next to her.

Her Bernstein stepped up to her taking care of her sharp fingernails with her supplies.

“Miss Ismay . . . May I ask you to learn one thing for her work.”

“Euheuheum~ I like the attitude of trying to learn. What is it?”

Without turning her head, Ismay blew her fingernails and waited for her question.

“I don’t understand why you chose ‘the guy’ for this job.”

The reason why Ismay is trying to recruit Leo Floyd, who is hostile to warlocks and is a specimen of a pet dog.

Even if Bernstein thought about dying alone, the answer did not come out.

“Ah~ If this is the case, it will take a long time to hand over the position.”

“Sorry.”

Ismay’s black hand wriggled up from her floor and smacked Bernstein in the head.

“For now, let’s leave the content of work. If you have any impressions while watching Leo Floyd, tell me.”

Bernstein thought carefully.

When Ismay visited Leo for the second time, she accompanied her, so although it was short, the feeling was clear.

However, since she was too simple and shabby, Bernstein, prepared to be hit by Ismay’s magic, brought out her answer.

“.

“Hmm~ I saw it properly. You have a keen eye!”

“…?”

Seeing Bernstein unable to accept her sincere compliment, Ismay grinned.

“Do you know what characterizes people who are narcissistic and narcissistic like Leo Floyd?”

“Please teach me.”

Tick-

Ismay, who flicked her fingernail supplies and threw them on the floor of the carriage, gave her an answer as she looked at Bernstein with her head down.

“You want something beyond your means, thinking that it will come naturally. Even if an undeserved opportunity comes, you don’t doubt it.”

If Bernstein thought about it for a second, he could understand it.

“…I definitely understood that.”

“If you let go of your pride and stand up for yourself, you’re the easiest type to deal with. Real people who have gone through a lot of prenatal battles are morbidly suspicious, so this kind of trick doesn’t work.”

It was advice that became blood and flesh for the future work – Bernstein stuck in libraries and laboratories and could not learn from books.

Just-! Just-!

As the horses galloped through the darkness, they stopped and heard the driver knocking on the carriage.

Bernstein got up, opened the carriage door, and waited with his head down for Ismay to come out.

Ismey, who came down from the carriage with a clicking sound, raised her mouth as she saw an inn operating in a remote forest outside the capital.

“Whoa- Shall we go see our foal?”
