Episode 87

“Do you want to eat this?”

A little girl in front of me, about four years old, said.

She is currently opening her chocolate and handing it to me.

Now, following her call, I entered the president’s office.

Now, there were only her and me inside the president’s office.

“No. It’s okay.”

The person in front of you right now is not just a child.

He is the president of ‘Elpon’ Academy who has lived for hundreds of years.

At the same time, he is one of the strongest in the world.

There’s no way anything would go wrong in front of such a person.

“Yes. Don’t do that”

She put her own chocolate into her mouth.

She munched on the chocolate and put on a happy expression.

“It’s so delicious, are you really not going to eat it?”

“Yes. Because I don’t like chocolate very much. hahahaha.”

“Then I will eat it all.”

She picked up her chunk of her chocolate on her desk and shoved it into her own mouth.

I looked at the four-year-old in front of me.

At first glance, he looks like an ordinary child.

However, in reality it is not.

In there is the president of the ‘Elpon’ Academy, who has lived for hundreds of years and has mastered the world.

She stopped chewing on her chocolate and leaned back in her chair.

“Oh, yes. By the way, are you quite curious?”

“Yes?”

“Do you know any future? How did you know that ‘Cain’ was attacking the ‘Samhwa Bio’ presentation site today?”

“Somehow I found out.”

“What happened?”

She said, narrowing her eyes.

“Yes. I just happened to know.”

“Hmm – is that so?”

That’s right, I can’t say that honestly.

I know because I played the game before I became possessed.

“How long do you think you can cheat?”

She said with a smile.

“…Yes?”

I didn’t understand what she was saying.

“You. You know the future, right?”

“…..I don’t quite understand what you mean by that.”

“Other people can definitely fool you, but it doesn’t work for me.”

As she said that, she pointed to the glove she was wearing on my hand.

“I am the one who breathed soul into those gloves.”

“Yes? What the hell is that?”

This is information that I hadn’t heard even while playing the game before being possessed.

“I obviously set it to react only to a ‘savior’ who knows the future when I blow soul into that glove.”

“….”

“By the way, do you have those gloves? Is that really a coincidence?”

She looked at me with a confident look.

I don’t think there’s any point in hiding it here anymore.

“Yes. It is true that I certainly know the future.”

“Isn’t it?”

“Yes. However, among the parts the president said, there are also parts that are wrong.”

“…Wrong passage?”

She said, tilting her head.

“It is true that I know the future, but as I said there, I am absolutely not a ‘savior’. I just simply know the future.”

Really.

I am not the savior from the old books.

Above all, I don’t have the ability to do that.

The true savior of this world is the hero. Not like me

“Hmm- is that so?”

She stood up from her seat, looking at me with a meaningful expression.

“By the way, do you know what?”

“Yes?”

“Since you know the future, you can speak comfortably. There are no such things as heroes in this world right now.”

“Yes? What the hell is that… “

” To be precise, he died after being summoned.”

“Yes?”

It sounded like a clear-cut army.

A hero who will be in charge of the core of this world is dead?

“It is information that has not been resolved at all because if it is disclosed to the outside world, the ripple effect will be enormous and people will be anxious.”

“….”

It was quite twisted from the future I knew.

“This is really something you didn’t even know about. I don’t know who the god you were entrusted with is, but didn’t you tell me that? Well anyway, that’s not important right now.”

“Yes… That means yes.”

“Yes. It means that mankind cannot survive in the gate to the demon world that will soon open.”

This world is a few years later.

The passage connecting the demon world and the human world is opened.

The monsters that appear there far exceed the monsters that exist in the human world.

It’s only natural that these monsters are amplified by Magi.

The problem is that such monsters do not come out one or two, but in thousands or tens of thousands.

“But, if you have the President, wouldn’t humanity have a chance?”

“No. I’m too lazy now.”

“…”

“I’m closing the gate right now, and it’s draining my life force.”

As she said that, she rolled up her forearms.

The forearms were quite lean, even for a child.

“I probably have at most a few years left in my life. As soon as my life is over, that gate will open.”

Currently, she was closing the passage between the demon world and the human world with her own life force.

“But if you give up closing the passage to the Pandemonium now, the gate will open right now.”

“….”

“Then can the current human race survive? With the hero already dead?”

“Wouldn’t it be possible if the President fought together?”

“No. Not at all.”

She said, shaking her head.

“I will be able to deal with the higher level demons that come through that gate. No, it would be very easy.”

“Then, stop closing the gate even now, and start a war by joining humanity right now…” .”

“No. That’s impossible I saw it clearly.”

“What.. You mean?”

“The ‘Devil King’ who reigns as a king in the Demon Realm”

“….”

“I can use a special ability every few years.”

“A special ability..?”

“I can see the Pandemonium, which is currently closed to the human world, so I can’t look into it.”

“….”

“I saw it there. ‘The Demon King’. And now the modern demon king… “

After that, the president couldn’t continue his words.

“Is the President so strong that he can’t help it?”

“Compared to the former demon king, the modern demon king is incomparably stronger. Maybe even if I did my best, I would barely be able to get a single scratch.”

“…Really?”

“Isn’t that why I’m closing the gate? If that thing ever comes over, there’s hope for mankind…”

“However, closing the gate is only a temporary measure after all. Won’t the Demon King come over someday?”

“I just need to be able to kill the demon king as soon as he comes over.”

“A demon king that even the president can barely get a scratch on even with all his might?”

“Yes.”

“What the heck.. How do you mean?”

“Isn’t that a problem that the ‘savior’ has to solve?”

She said with a grin.

“I am not a savior.. I am”

“No. You are the savior.”

“Yes?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Did I make it clear? The glove is said to have been imbued with a soul so that it only responds to the savior who knows the future.”

“…”

“Can you give me the glove?”

“Yes. All right.”

I handed her her gloves which I am wearing.

She took her glove and then channeled her mana towards it.

Ugh-

The glove and her mana began to resonate.

She closed her eyes.

It’s probably looking at the record of mana engraved inside her glove right now.

Instantly, her eyes opened.

“No. Clearly there were no errors. You are the savior.”

“But.. What kind of power do I have?”

“You. Looking at it now, you were born with the qualities to use ‘instant kill’?”

“…How the heck do you do that?”

“That’s not important. It’s important that you have that ability.”

“…..”

“If you have that ability, even that demon lord can be sent to death in an instant. In other words, you are humanity’s only hope right now.”

However, the really big problem is that I don’t know how to unlock the ‘instant kill’ skill.

As for the instant buy machine, the unlocking information was not disclosed while playing the game.

So it was the number one skill I wanted to unlock, but I still haven’t been able to unlock it.

“However, I don’t know how to get that ‘instant kill’.”

“What if I knew that information?”

She said with a bright smile.

“…Yes?”

I said with a dumbfounded expression.

“What if I knew how to unlock that ‘instant kill’ skill?”

“….”

I don’t even have to say anything.

You have to unlock instant kill by any means.

“…Must do it.”

I said.

It’s a story you don’t have to worry about.

“Okay. Then listen carefully to what I have to say from now on.”

The president leaned forward and said.

“Yes.”

“Go around ‘Elpon’ Academy and collect what I say.”

“What can I bring?”

“To put it simply, they are old books. But… The real problem is that deciphering the old book is almost impossible.”

“If deciphering is impossible, then how…?”

“Right now, the language that can decipher the text of that ancient book has been cut off.”

“Ah..”

I put on a devastated expression.

The president smiled at me as if I was having fun.

“Ah. But, whatever it is, it doesn’t matter. There is only one place that has handed down the characters.”

“….What the heck is that?”

“The current president’s family is the only one that has passed down the characters.”

“…You mean that?”

“Right. He said he really needed Jeonghanna’s help. I just have a problem.”

“What if it’s a problem?”

“Originally, the transmission of the script will not end until two years later, as usual. So, her knowledge is incomplete now. It may not be useful for deciphering the old text…”

“I don’t think there will be a problem with that.”

“Oh. Do you have any sharp tips?”

“Yes. You can make Jeonghanna use the 5th circle magic ‘Library of Knowledge’.”

“Hmm- I know Jeonghanna isn’t in the 5th circle yet, right?”

“That’s all I have a way.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes.”

“Then let’s look forward to it. Savior”

She grinned.

“By the way, I have a question. Can I ask you a question?”

“Yes. Try.”

I don’t quite understand.

If it is inside the ‘Elpon’ Academy, wouldn’t the president himself go out and bring it?

Why bother asking a student like me to bring it?

“Couldn’t the president collect the old book himself?”

“…”

The president looked at me without a word.

Then he shook his head and said.

“Only students can enter the place where the old book is. No, to be precise, only those who have not reached the age of majority can enter.”

“….”

“Mana flows in an unusual way in the area where the ancient books are hidden. People beyond the age of majority cannot enter there.”

“…”

“Is this enough of an answer?”

She said with a grin.

“Yes. That’s a good enough answer.”

“And let me tell you something I really need to be careful about.”

Her expression became serious in an instant.

“…Yes. Please tell me.”

“From the moment you picked up the old book, you must complete the decoding within 5 minutes.”

“…In 5 minutes?”

“Uh. If you don’t, the old book will disappear.”

“…”

In 5 minutes?

In order to do that, Jeonghanna’s knowledge must be in perfect condition.

To do that, she must be able to use the 5th circle magic ‘Library of Knowledge’.

“And one more caveat.”

“…What?”

“The moment you pick up an old book and decipher it, no one should see you deciphering it for 5 minutes.”

“Even just one?”

“Yes. If even one person sees the moment of deciphering the old book, the old book will disappear anyway.”

“…”

Why are the conditions so strict?

Are you saying it’s not an instant kill for nothing?

“Oh, yes. With the only exception, you are fine.”

“Yes?”

“‘Savior’ is the only exception.”

“…”

“You understand? Then, from now on, collect it diligently. I will contact Jung Hannah and tell her well.”
