Rebirth Just Before The 10th Circle

“Are you my opponent? 4th grade.”

"Ah! That stuttering Kay?”

“Stuttering Kay?”

“Why are you there? That bastard.”

“Ah, I remember hearing your words. Was he in 4th grade?”

“See if it was. ugly bastard. The first edition will go up lightly.”

The two boys who had a conversation like that left the room.

Winston gasped as he heard their conversation.

“The first edition should be light . . .”

Winston, who was strangely muffled, looked at Kay softly.

“Hey, Kay.”

“Uh, huh?”

“If you lose to that guy, you fall behind me.”

“···········?”

Kay tilted her head, talking to herself and giggling, then turning to see Winston walking away.

Zeppelin tapped his shoulder, who didn't understand English.

"Do not worry about it."

"Wee, Winston... Why, why is he doing that?"

“Well, it’s a sign that he acknowledged you in his own way.”

“Is that so?”

"uh. And, as Winston said, if you lose to ‘that guy’, won’t you die first at the hands of the top owner, not Winston?”

“... well, that’s it.”

“👀. Anyway, make sure you win. Well, I don't think I'll lose."

So Zeppelin smiled and left the room, and Sasha disappeared with her gaze telling her to do well.

Everyone left and Kay was left alone.

He felt strange.

'If it were like the past, they are kids who wouldn't have even looked at them...'

Sasha, Winston, Zeppelin.

If it had been Kei in the past, he wouldn't have been able to even be in the same room, let alone chat with them.

But now, such people were supporting and acknowledging them.

After receiving Merlin's approval, indescribable emotions surged.

Kay clenched his fist tightly.

***

Meanwhile at that time.

"Alas······."

Merlin is voluntarily working from home after getting a house to commute to work.

"Ah ah ah ah ah···!"

He rolled over on the bed and struggled.

Then he raised his upper body and muttered.

"boring."

The realization to reach the 7th circle did not come easily.

It was something that only time and hard work could solve.

There, the research institute was closed under the guise of working from home, and the Dwarf City was in the midst of reorganization, and was so busy.

All Merlin was doing right now was finding a way to get Excalibur absorbed into her body, but even that didn't work.

Merlin muttered blankly, staring at the wall.

“After all, it was best to sleep on the desk in the classroom…”

The environment changed and I couldn't sleep.

There was a soft bed, but that hard and uncomfortable desk made me yearn for it.

[Dad, what are you doing?]

Ciri, sticking her head out between the blankets, sneaked up to Merlin's side.

Ciri climbs on Merlin's arm despite having wings.

As if climbing, Ciri succeeded in climbing over Merlin's head, forming a flag with mana and putting it on Merlin's head.

And he raised his hands high and shouted

[hurray!]

“...you play well on your own.”

Siri, who had been alone for hundreds of years, was a master at playing alone.

There was a body, and there was a person to play with, so the environment was much better for Siri than before.

Merlin sighed a little as he saw Siri diving over the duvet from his head, and laid back on his back.

Siri climbed up on Merlin's stomach and sat down on his butt.

[Are you bored, Dad?]

“Ummm… a little?”

To be honest, I was very upset, not a little.

[Then let's go play!]

“Hmm… is that so?”

At Ciri's words, Merlin gently lifted her upper body again.

Merlin ponders for a moment when she tells her to go play.

Soon his eyes twinkled.

“No, no, I can’t use it to play young youth.”(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

[I saw it in a book and I was surprised because I was young...]

“Don’t believe such nonsense written by people who haven’t even been 100 years old. At least I'm old enough to say I'm young enough to be surprised! Just ignore the chatter of people under two thousand years old.”

[Yeah! So what do you do when you're young?]

“Of course you have to make money!”

[carbuncle?]

“When you’re young, you have to save even one penny so that you don’t suffer when you get old. Remember.”

[Ah, yep!]

It was Merlin who succeeded in instilling his thoughts into Siri as always today.

He smiled happily as if he was decorating something else.

a few days after that.

murmur-

The academy was noisy due to the round of 256, which started two days ago.

In the meantime, there were all members of the Avalon Tower.

“Ugh…”

Kei's face turned white as if something went wrong.

Seeing this, Sasha asked.

“Senior, are you okay?”

Winston, Zeppelin and Sasha have already finished their match the day before.

No, in fact they couldn't even say they had a match.

It was because the three opponents withdrew on their own.

And today was Kay's match day.

At Sasha's question, Kay nodded her head slightly.

“It’s okay, it’s okay…”

Looking at Kay, who didn't look all right, Winston clicked her tongue.

“Are you nervous about this kind of thing that the guy who blows his head hard even among the monsters that comes rushing in?”

“Hey, it wasn’t a human!”

“Well, try your best. If you don't want to die at the hands of the top owner. ”

“···Uhhhhhhhhhhh.’

It was Winston who gave encouragement that was not really encouraging.

Kei's complexion, which had been pale, became even paler.

Ignoring this, Winston looked at Zeppelin and asked.

“By the way, what is this... a festive mood?”

“Even the professors in the lower grades don’t give lectures and come out to watch.”

“Well, in fact, a lot of teaching assistants and professors were left out because of the operation of the decisive battle.”

All the 4th graders participating in the final match, as well as the lower grades who came out to watch the final match.

The academy created a festive atmosphere because the management team and professors did not prevent this from happening.

There were some who jumped on board and brought food from outside and settled down, but there were also cadets who played a gamble with a drink more than that.

Avalon Tower and the group were walking around looking around like that.

At that moment, Sasha's steps suddenly stopped.

She was staring at something.

“Sasha, why?”

“...that over there.”

Where Sasha points with her finger, her brown-haired cadets are battling for a match.

“Ah! If you only bet on one person like that, there's no point in playing this game! make sense! Hey, you're the last one! You walk on the other side.”

“Ah, no… I said I’d bet with my money, so why…?”

“When you say a good word, do you bet on the other side?”

A boy who controls the flow of money with counter-intimidation.

Seeing this, all members of Avalon's tower were at a loss for words.

“·················ogue.”

“Um… is it an auditory hallucination? Have we suffered too much?”

“Yeah… I think I also have strange hallucinations?”

It was obviously the first boy he had ever seen, but it was a strangely familiar voice.

“Hey, maybe it’s just the voice that is similar.”

“That, right?”

But to say that only the voices are similar...

heh heh-

That evil, sinister laughter made me very uncomfortable.

“Eh, it won’t be.”

“Yeah… it won’t be.”

Even though they tried to deny it, they all knew it.

Whose voice and characteristic laughter belong to?

A squeaky murmur came out of Kay's mouth.

“Ta, Top Lord?”

What? Would you like to eat it raw? (3)

What? Would you like to eat it raw? (3)

All of Avalon's towers approached the brown-haired boy as if possessed.

The boy, who had been ecstatic with the stakes he had collected, shook his shoulders as he saw the people approaching.

Then the boy asked all the Matopians.

“Oh, do you too? I'm sorry. Is the recruitment for this edition over?”

“·················ogue.”

Four pairs of cold eyes flew towards the boy.

Still, the boy was calm.

“Then I will.”

Just as the boy waved his hand and was about to get out of his seat.

“Top lord?”

The boy tried to go his own way as if he didn't hear Sasha's voice calling him.

But Sasha wasn't the one to just let it go.

"Where are you going. Top lord?”

At Sasha's voice, the boy turned around.

“Top owner? What does that mean?”

Sasha looked at him with a fat face at the boy's unfamiliar voice.

The gaze that flew into his face stinged, but the boy looked like he didn't really know anything.

Then Sasha suddenly called someone's name.

“Hey Siri.”

[Huh!]

A little head sticking out from the inside of the boy's uniform jacket as soon as his name was called.

“·················ogue.”

“·················ogue.”

Boy and Sasha...

No, Merlin and Sasha.

And there was an awkward silence between Kay, Winston, and Zeppelin.

participating in that.

“I don’t know what you are talking about, do you?”

Kuk-kook-

Merlin pressed his index finger on Siri's head and tucked it into his jacket.

[Alas! Daddy! Do not do that! Don't do it! I'll see you too, Sasha!]

Ciri murmured, grabbing Merlin's fingers with both her hands.

Ciri, who had been arguing with Merlin's fingers for a while, flew through Sasha's clothes.

Between Sasha's jackets, Siri makes a sad expression on her face.

[Sasha! I want to be with you today!]

“Let’s go home and see you.”

Merlin said sarcastically at the sight of Siri clinging to Sasha.
