Chapter 12
Creak-
The door was cautiously opened a crack along with the sound of its rusted hinge, and a freckled girl poked her head out to ask me a question
“Who are you to be looking for our Mollang?”
It was the daughter of this village’s chiefAlthough I had gotten along rather ith her in the 1st Playthrough, a trip back in tiood ood people would all become illusions
The village chief’s daughter was far younger than I reirl, not a respectable ladyThis was only natural since I had hShe was aher infant sonAnd…
Wobble-wobble~
The perpetually wobbling ‘great being’ was also with her, hugged tight to the girl’s chest like a pillow, instead of the infant son ould later be bornLanuvel, who had peered over my shoulder on tiptoes to take a look,is a slime…?”
SliamesThese slimes which looked like round steamed buns were lumps of EXP most commonly encountered even in this fantasy worldThey lived wherever, ate whatever, and their reproductive ability was excellent as wellThe reason why the sewerage systems in Fantasia’s cities, which were of pitiful standard coed and could be ed periods of ti them up
I said to Lanuvel in a serious tone, “Don’t look down on it for being a slie is no ordinary slime”
“Yes, that’s right! Mollang can wobble!”
It was just as the girl had said
Ordinary sli
“… Eh?”
“Lanuvel, your eyes are rott… No, nevermindIt should be faster to show you rather than explainLittle Miss, can this big brother here hug your cute and lovely friend for a moment? I only need just a brief moment”
I was dressed splendidly like a noble as usualThe sharp-witted girl shot a furtive glance towards the village chief and his wife, atching us with bated breath fro a reply
“You won’t harht…?”
“I promise”
I carefully received the great being
Wobble-wobble!
The great being violently wobbled as if being wary of irl co touches
Wobble-wobble…
Hugging the great being, I closedas if tosensation
Yeah! This is the feel!
The slianism that I knew ofIt could freely undulate its jelly-like body, eat anything without discri about it, however, was that it had no ‘brain’, and yet it was capable of expressing itself in a wide range ofall the whileThis meant it was a spiritual kind of existence that wasn’t confined by its body
But on the other hand, what of humans?
Their movements were restricted apart from certain moveable jointsIt was impossible for them to play dead like a lizard or sever a part of their body to run awayTheir body when aged didn’t recoverThere were many kinds of animals they couldn’t eat, they couldn’t even dare to think of consu rotten or contaminated food, and their body would le day
Humans were extremely imperfect creatures
Wobble-Wobble~
Therefore, we needed to studyThat’s how hued from now on as wellNow, a one-dile to attain powerful fantasy related things: ic, elementals, psychic abilities, Deaon, Elf wife…
But I thought differently
The power of huinate from nowhere else than ‘science’The advance the boundaries of Earth and stepping into the cosmos!
A ined from a fantasy world viewThere are no Murim experts who battle on Mars, are there? In other words, science is a study that had different boundaries
“This big brother will show you so fun”
There are people who look down on fitness trainers, but the diet and training planned out by those trainers aren’t based on the occult, but on scienceIt is a refined study, a science of healthIt fundah efficiency as well as iative side and after-effects of over-exercising
What I was about to do from noas the same
‘Automatic system control’
All living things live because they can’t dieTo give a very si, “I Want to die!” at the end of a horrifying torture or despair, our hearts wouldn’t stop beatingIt’s my body yet it won’t act as I wantThis is because of an automatic systemIn fancy talk, it’s called:
The autonomic nervous system
This nervous system works to maintain the homeostasis of basic bodily functions such as respiration, estion, secretion and reproductionGetting aroused at the sight of a pretty wo when you exercise a lot… these subconscious behaviors are all influenced by the autonomic nervous system
What would happen if this system disappeared?
The instant it did, you would die as your heart and lung stopped as if sos couldn’t control their autonomic nervous system as they pleased—except for the slime
“Huh?! Hero-ni!”
“Goodness! Hero-nim, what kind of balance is that?”
Slimes kne to control their entire body as naturally as breathingIt was such a natural thing that they weren’t capable of teaching others how to do the sameHowever, there are always exceptions
Wobble-wobble?
This great being alone, obbled all day long, could tell the method simply as it wobbled adorablyIt wasn’t as if it wobbled intentionally, but that’s how ’ contained the fundareat being alone, obbled all day long, could tell the method simply as it wobbled adorablyIt wasn’t as if it wobbled intentionally, but that’s how ’ contained the fundamental rhythmic movements unique to slimes
I didn’t learn it seriously in the 1st PlaythroughBecause my9 years adventuring in Fantasia, I had realized late just how great an existence Master Mollang was
It was going to be different this tihI accurately understood Master Mollang’s teachings and engraved them in my soul
“Thank you! Master Mollang!”
Wobble-wobble?
The great being wobbled left and right as if it didn’t know at all the reason foras I had learned this technique of my own accord:
Custo
It was ih theory in books as you would with ic or martial artsThere was no other way than to personally feel these rhythmic movements yourself and realize it—you just had to wobble hard!
You ht ask: How do you describe this?
The ansould be that it’s a profound study that can’t be explained ords or writing
“Hero-ni eyes
I fir cute in a low-keyonto my thickened forearrowth hormones?”
“… What?”
“Nevermind if you don’t”
Endocrine glands are the organs which regulate horland, thyroid, parathyroid glands, adrenal gland, kidneys, pancreas, ovaries, testicles and so onThe horlands control bodily functionsThe growth of people were also influenced by these hormones
Growth horland, and it prorowth factor 1(IGF-1) which increases the growth cells of bones, cartilage and the likeThese two hora down fat which is the raw material for hormonesThe secretion of horh anaerobic exercisesBut what if… this could be freely controlled?
Ripped and ready!
You’d easily be able to create an aweso, that is

▷Status: Growing
A bit of time would be needed in order to raise the Skill ranks to their maximum, but it was literally only a matter of timeI only had to wait from now on
▷Baffled: This is the fruits of your journey? I cannot understand even after seeing itA slireat mentor? This is the first news of its kindThe hard shell of an almond needs to be removed in order to obtain its seedWho would put in the effort if you could gain skills without trying?
‘Professor Morals, why are you asking me that?’
‘Professor Morals, why are you asking me that?’
Whether other people rolled to the left or right wasn’t of my concernAnd shouldn’t one speak the facts correctly? As someone whose 10 years of effort vanished into thin air due to an unwanted trip back in tiht to talk about effort to my face—even if that may be a God!
▷Quiet: Yes, you are right on thatI sincerely apologize on behalf of all the teaching staffStudent Kang Han Soo is the first to achieve S-grade in corade in character is also a first… Even though you were disqualified, it is true that we tra efforts under the pretext of a re-exa on this topic froize
‘Ah, okay…’
To think Professor Morals apologized!
▷Laughter: To learn from your mentor, to learn more from your companions, and to yet further learn from your disciple—this is the principle of the worldAnd yet I had forgotten about this for a long tirade in character is unprecedented throughout our school’s historyStudent Kang Han Soo, thank you
Professor Morals took his leave after throwing me an insult-like complimentHe said he would come find me at an unexpected time
Wobble-wobble—!!
“Ah, shoot! Sorry! Master Mollang!”
I hurriedly returned the great being, obbling in an irritated enerous reward as thanksSurprised at the sue chief intervened
“Sir! There’s no need to give so much…!”
“It’s fineIf it really bothers you that ’s h”
I had just co to this remote countryside in the northwestern corner of Fantasia’s middle continent—I had obtained the power of science
This wasn’t a Skill, but a TechnicA byproduct of knowledge and experienceWhatever I did whenever and wherever, I would be myselfThe french philosopher, Descartes, had said this:
Cogito, ergo sumI think, therefore I am
This fantasy world was questionable, and in reality ht even be just a crappy dreamBut I couldn’t deny ht like thisEven going back in time couldn’t affect this
“Hero-ni as well”
“Me too… Ahem-hem!”
Lanuvel and Luggage Boy mimicked me, unable to contain their curiosityI waved my hand as I let them do as they likedThere was no reason to stop theetic
Wobble-wobble…
The great being’s suffering began
‘Master Mollang, please endure it a little even if those fellows are bothersome!’
“Coets dark”
I only told Lanuvel and Luggage Boy to co to their heart’s content… if they were still alive by then, that isThe reason for this is that a human who doesn’t even have a notion of the autono’s teachingsThat hu and they wouldn’t even knohy
