The next day.

When I woke up, there was Toa next door for some reason.

Half-opened eyes gradually open.

"Mmm...... good morning. Masamune."

"Morning. That's not good morning. Why are you in my bed?"

"Because when I woke up, no one was there"

"I see. Yeah, yeah! -"

"Can't you?" Toa looks at it.

"... no. Nothing. Not" I can't say no to being stared at like that.

Then why are you angry?

"No, you're not mad..."

Toa is a virgin killer named one shirt.

There is a sweater in the world that kills virgins.

But a virgin can be killed with a thin shirt.

"Toa. Um, could you put some clothes on for now?"

"No, it's hot."

"Lord Masamune," the door opened. "Good morning. I heard some talking..." Sierra's voice.

"Good morning. Mr. Sierra" I woke my body up while I slept back.

"Morning. Sierra" Toa as well.

And, Mr. Sierra is shivering with a bright red face.

"... right? Lord Masamune is also a man. Maybe it's something we have no choice about. But if you can weigh yourself down. Above all, this place..."

"It's a misunderstanding! Toa's on his own for this!

"Then you should let Sierra in, too," Toa said. "Look, 'cause this side is empty"

"Well, that's not it!

I don't know... I feel like Toa is getting weirder and weirder lately.

Is it because the tension is coming apart?

That's where Mr. Hilda said, "Toa, are you there?" and appeared......

Looks like it was Mr. Hilda who taught Toa the room.

Come to think of it, Toa shouldn't know.

He also told Mr. Hilda to wake me up.

What the hell does this guy want?

I don't know, I mean, we were being played by this guy.

This is how I woke up in the morning.

I had Mr. Sierra put on an archery of swordsmanship.

"Time to take a break"

"Right."

It's hard to try.

I didn't think I could do it right away, but can you learn swordsmanship from me?

Mr. Sierra just compliments him for being quick to remember.

"By the way, how long have you been learning the sword?" I heard it was childhood.

"Is it about three years old? It was still a wooden toy at the time."

"Since when is Toa?

"I forgot. Maybe it was like Sierra...... My father helped me get lost in the woods and I was about to be attacked by Leowulf, and then I started learning swords and magic."

"Hmm... you got a lot going on"

"That's the only time I've ever felt scared."

"Is it Leowulf?" Late Mr. Sierra creeps.

"What's wrong with you?

"Speaking of Leo Wolf, it's an S-rank monster. Has Lord Toa's father been defeated?

"Yeah, it's decorated with Leowulf peeling at that time."

Toa is a demon.

He's Toa's father, so strong.

I don't think it seems strange to be able to defeat about S-rank.

"Does S-Rank mean you're stronger than Nutkelane?

"I can't believe I'm strong. It is a level where knights and adventurers from all over the kingdom can challenge and finally defeat in total. But there were individual differences in monsters. It's a different story, but the same kind can be S-rank or better depending on the level."

"In the end, you're levelistic. So if you had a level 500 mimic, how high would that rank be?

"Is it 500? I don't know what it is..."

"By and large, that's fine. Because I want Sierra's opinion."

"That's right...... if there were such a level of monsters, that would be out of rank"

"Out of Rank? What do you mean?

"The rank set by the Alliance is up to the basic SSS (Triple S). There's an infinite class on top of that, which means it's not real, it's not rank, it's unconfirmed."

"I mean, level 500 is unconfirmed, so you're going to be infinite."

"Yes, but it only means unconfirmed, so if a Level 500 monster is confirmed, that would be out of rank. Infinity is like insurance, as defined by the Alliance."

I see.

In essence, do you mean the rank is only up to SSS (triple S)?

The auditorium then continued until the evening.

I crossed Toa, who seemed bored, and eventually I was supposed to learn the sword from the two of us.

I opened my eyes gently.

Clouds... then white.

Cloud Sea.

One side around, all the clouds.

Apparently this place is on a cloud.

And check the area without knowing for sure.

Is this... a temple?

There was a building like that in front of me.

From among the clouds the sun plunged in and lit up the temple.

Long time no see, Masamune.

Suddenly, I heard a voice behind my back.

Looking back, I'm confused by the identity of that voice.

"... eh, Shawn?

That was Shawn I was supposed to kill.

Same tone.

I'm afraid of snake stares.

"Why are you here? You're me..."

"Wait. Well, follow me. Come and you'll see."

Block words.

I followed.

Inside the temple was less divine than the exterior.

It was quiet and calm.

It's the throne room, if you like.

There, not even sitting on the throne, was a man standing.

"Well done, Masamune. Instead, I invited him."

The man has short black hair.

"Who. You know Shawn?

"... you know this"

With that said, he flooded the man's body with red and black shadows, covering his entire body.

Wrapped in black armor.

"Correde, Dowda?

"The voice......" I immediately realized. "Dungeon's..."

That was the voice of the one who gave me the secret drug of vengeance.

"Right. You knew Shawn."

"He's my comrade. First name."

"Shawn!" a man suddenly blocked. "You don't have to say any more"

"With that said, you did. Sorry."

The man was back in his original human form.

"I know what you're trying to say. This is nowhere for you. Well, it's a prison for us."

"I see. Prison is... that's a brilliant expression. Friends," said Shawn.

They were laughing with their bellies about what was funny.

"Oh, bad, bad. That's what we talked about. Your body is on the bed properly. Now you're a mental body, so to speak. Don't worry about it."

"Mental body?

"Technically, it exists, but, well, that's good. Temporarily, but I called you here."

"... what do you mean?

"The secret medicine I gave you. That's the drug that connects me to my users."

"Just give me a minute. I'm not sure it's too abrupt, but what did you do to me with that drug? After using the product, I felt any change.

"That was made from a mixture of my blood. The effect is to give the user unique skills only once. Whatever comes out is random, the general skill, yes... infinite if I tell you what I know"

"I mean, unconfirmed? Skills no one has ever seen......"

"It is conditional on being unconfirmed. It's only rare. That's not necessarily why you get superior skills. You were lucky. I'm skilled enough to take you down to Shawn. But if I wasn't lucky, I might have died in that dungeon. It wasn't weird being eaten as it was by that mimic."

"... well. I found out about the secret medicine. Thanks for your help. Thanks."

"Never mind, that's my whim. I just put it down experimentally."

"So, why did you call me?

"Shawn Explains"

"It's Masamune. I teach you my swordsmanship."

"What?" It's all of a sudden. I don't know what that means. "Not. What I want to hear is why you called me here."

"I can't tell you that from my mouth. Maybe why can't we talk," said the man.

"Does that have anything to do with you not revealing your name?

"I can't say that either. It's the same if you ask Shawn."

"Then I want you to tell me, Shawn. What are you doing here?

"I can't tell you."

Can't teach, not, can't tell

I mean, are these two tied to something?

But why can't I even say that?

"I know what you're trying to say.

I wasn't particularly interested.

Was it more swordsmanship than that?

You can tell me if you want to tell me.

"Teach my swordsmanship. The professor is momentary. But just like when your Lord took in the secret medicine, pain occurs. Never mind."

"If you say you will, thank you, but swordsmanship, right? How much time do you have?"

"Then -" Shawn put his hand on my head.

"Hey... what is it?"

The next moment, the pain ran all over my body.

Severe enough pain to clog your breath.

And tremble.

That was a moment, but it took a little while for the aftertaste to disappear.

"This is..."

I remember something in me about swordsmanship that wasn't supposed to have happened before.

"That's swordsmanship"

"Serpent Class (Shire)... Beast King Class... Greyberg-style Swordsmanship... Imperial Swordsmanship... Lint... Petrified Bird (Cocatris) Class..."

I had a lot of swordsmanship in me.

"Lint... what?

"It's elf swordsmanship."

I checked a lot of swordsmanship in my head.

Go around memory for a while, and then reach one sword technique.

"This is..."

"My swordsmanship. Mixed all my swordsmanship with my own to create one sword without gaps."

"Nameless genre? What's that?"

"This swordsmanship has no name. There are only those who are slashed."

Shawn, for some reason, looked at me like he was staring far away.

It feels like it was there when I realized it.

"Why did you give me this?

"I can't talk," said Shawn.

"Think of me as a whim now," said Vengeance God. But it's definitely what you're gonna need.

"Necessary? I guess so in doing adventures. That's what you mean?"

Somehow I felt something like weight in the word "need".

"..." but the Vengeance God answers nothing...

"Can't you say that too..."

"Find out for yourself if you want to know. If you keep traveling, you'll see."

"Can't you answer the key thing? By the way, Shawn. I thought, if you're so strong, why did you lose to me then? With this swordsmanship, you could have won, right?

"I haven't seen anyone in 150 years. And combat. Well, that can also be said to be the cause. But I wasn't caught off guard. In other words, the Lord was above at that moment. The magic your Lord showed you. That was magic I had never seen either. Sure, it's thin, but I also felt signs of a friend there. That's why I mistook him for a moment. But it wasn't from magic, it was from himself who took in the secret medicine. I mean, I couldn't see the magic."

The point is, was your body dull?

"Masamune. Go Beyond. So I met a woman named Khalifa, and when I found her, I told her, 'I'm waiting on that hill'. The next time Khalifa asks you a question, you just answer 'It's in the third drawer'. And then I know."

"... I don't know why. Is that what you need, too?

"Oh" revenge God's eyes were serious in themselves.

"I just normally want to be adventurous. Well, I'll ask you when I stop by town."

"That doesn't matter. And one more thing. Learn magic."

"Learn magic?

"Anywhere, enroll in school. Wizards as old as you study at a magic school."

But I'm a healer.

"I don't mind. If you learn, you'll have more knowledge, and the scenery will change. The healer must have a destination you don't know about. It's like healing magic and support systems everywhere you can use them, but they'll be wider if you remember. There's no limit to magic."

"... okay" That was a thankful word for me right now.

"You're rather honest."

"Nothing. I was interested in the school of witchcraft. I would have liked to go if I had the chance. Besides, you owe me a secret drug."

Vengeance God laughed in relief.

"It's Masamune. That snake sword, but if it doesn't suit your Lord, give it to the Devil's Girl. You'll love it."

"... you mean foresight"

I didn't tell you that Toa was here.

And so suddenly drowsiness struck me.

"Sounds like this far."

Vengeance God groaned potpourrily.

"We can't call you over and over again. When will it be next...... so one last favor"

Distorted vision.

"Find us..."

One last word, my consciousness was broken.
