Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Pranav

“…As expected of the Mage Country Things are now even more ridiculous than before”

It was a sea of books The countless number of ancient bookshelves were filled with books, and each ical secrets tocertificate froht to enter this library In this world, books were thewas a luxurious form of enjoyment Back then, it had been quite the difficult task to just obtain pere Country was far enerous in this aspect Even if it was thanks to Kaid’s recoh these precious ancient toe Country was built on—recording and trans the truth and secrets of the world

“Truth Overseer” was the glorious, highest-ranking title in the Mage Country, and was already an explanation of its goal The e and truth, and their highest ranks simply meant that those individuals had obtained e

Of course, this was the ideal concept of a e In reality, there were plenty that were attracted to the ained to exchange for the common world’s authority and wealth was far too easy There were even so authority fro to a certain extent, they would naturally leave

Yet the current es as I was already spending ical books

However, there were far more books than I expected, and many books were covered in thick layers of dust It would see tianized It was exceedingly difficult to find the ones I was looking for; perhaps I would be unable to succeed in what I wanted here

Also, the uninvited “guest” kept slowing down ress as well

“What a pity Aston/Fione up one more rank”

When old classmates had a reunion, it was only natural to discuss about what happened to the other classmates However, there was only one type of sentence that always ended up being the conclusion—an excla—and it h-leveltheir lifespans wasn’t a difficult proble into artificial life, half-elemental life, God Envoys and so on were all possible Even if one’s luck was terrible and they turned into so like an undead Lich, it was still yet another possible path

Of course, the prerequisite was that one’s power level was high enough Those who couldn’t even reach the Saint rank wouldn’t have any access to such lifespan-increasing options

What es, who should have reached such a rank to begin with, would always die off for seely random reasons

“Just recently, an acadeh-rankedThe undisputed leading cause was battle and hich took up a whopping 71 Natural deaths like dying of old age or disease was only nu accidentally during experiet involved in soe over personal benefits and end up losing their lives All those drea”

Kaid felt that it was both a regret for the geniuses that perished as well as a fortune, as he knew that aic was considered slightly below average It was just that he was the type that disliked co with others, and he preferred to always hole up in his home and conduct research, which ieniuses that co but death, and the one as below average and aware of it beca tie one ho received everything In a way, this was a subtle, wondrous irony

Forto becoer, what stopped theth but rather temptations and troubles from the outside world

“By the way, are you really notof these words were familiar to me After all, I had died several ti orldly affairs due to this and that, but Kaid chuckled at enius? Apart froe Personal Defense, what genius would have all his grades barely above the passing mark? You even failed a basic class like Elemental Concepts three tiot cozy with so ago”

When I heard this, I was instantly angered and couldn’t respond I knew it So that seemed cute, like childhood friends, weren’t cute at all in real life, especially when the childhood friend was the saender as you and knew about your dark history They should all be sent to the nome rockets

“I was pretty happy to have you in rade of our classes significantly I wouldn’t have to worry about being the lowest scoring person in the class…”

Alright then, Roland the lowest scoring and Kaid the second-lowest scoring individual were chatting together about tieniuses had already perished This seemed even more ironic now

“Don’t say that! You make it sound like I depended on wo atto turn on you”

“You bastard! Don’t you have any self-awareness? ‘Roland who’s good for nothing except his face,’ the ‘Holy Knight that entered the wrong job class’ was quite faot with both Teacher Harloys and Teacher As of you and used you as a voodoo doll?”

“You seem to be quite well-inforhtly in an obvious warning, but this guy didn’t notice it at all

“Of course, this was one of my main sources of inco about it, and just drawing a picture that reseh Not only did it need to look like you, but it also needed to piss people off, and I needed to draw vicious smiles on your handsome face in order to satisfy my customers Especially after the news that you abandoned Amelia spread out—h orders to keep h tuition old coins offthis old felloho always acted so serious but wouldn’t shut up about the topics he liked, I couldn’t restrain !

This tiht of so on that bastard’s face

“Stoneskin h I didn’t feel any waves of a spell being cast at all, Kaid’s skin was obviously as hard as iron It was a ic I invented endary story about the ‘The Forest’s Nun Convention and the Eighteen Wolverine Old Ladies’ that you told me in the past I also named this spell ‘Golden Bell Skin’ after the same technique in that story! It’s able to transform my skin and bones into metal and make me as undefeatable as the undefeatable old lady and wolverine old ladies in the story! Isn’t it aical version of the ancient Chinese martial arts technique “Golden Bell Skin” I didn’t even knohere to start co from anymore The wolverine old ladies, the nun convention, or the undefeatable old lady?

Nonetheless, this helped me understand that the current Kaid was truly a powerful arche, even if he still wasn’t the serious type at all

Just like how ice ic to earth ic, which was renowned for high defensive power Unlike ice ic, which could be learned as its own unique branch, the htly connected to the earth eleic to a certain degree there wouldn’t be any way to learnable to peric spell like this was doubtlessly a unique high-level technique

Not only did this indirectly help ave me a new idea

“Kaid, come over and help ic”

Since Karo City es in it, its library was, of course, focused on inforic, earth eleicalup on information here, it obviously wouldn’t be because I wanted to learn earth ic wouldn’t have any downsides—it could even be adaptable—based onto learn an entirely new eleic would take me at least several decades I definitely didn’t have the free time for that

“Emordilorcan’s the apex of earth elehtly connected to him I don’t believe he only has the power of this entire Earth Elemental Plane His past history, any weaknesses he has, any specialties of his, what eleic he excels at, and what ace cards he may have—before we battle with hi this, Kaid revealed a smile that seemed to say, “I knew you would be like this”

“…If soht with you, you would seem like you didn’t care at all, but in actuality, you would work overnight on investigating the previous eighteen generations of that person’s family You really are the same as back then”
