After the meeting with the principal.

I was training my body with Kim Seo-hyun.

“Are, are you really okay?”

“Yeah.”

Kim Seo-hyun looked at me with worried eyes.

My training was simple. Bench press. But the weight was no joke.

That weight alone was 700kg.

‘I can handle it.’

I gritted my teeth and lifted it once. Using Black God Martial Arts, I finely tuned all my muscles, lowering it to chest height and then lifting it once more.

“Ugh.”

It felt like I was going to die. It took all my strength to lift it once. But I had something to rely on.

[Infinite Stamina (S)]

It showed tremendous improvement in terms of stamina, but the true power of this talent lay in almost infinite stamina.

When I lowered it to my chest, I felt a surge of energy quickly filling my body. It spread throughout me.

‘Slowly.’

I gritted my teeth and straightened my elbows to lift the barbell. I shifted the burden to my lower body by adjusting the Black God Martial Arts.

The act of lifting the barbell.

Just that, but it stimulated every muscle in my body without any loss and strengthened them.

That was the effect of the Black God Martial Arts.

“Wow. Seo-ha’s abs are like…”

Kim Seo-hyun muttered something beside me, but I didn’t hear it.

Because it really felt like death. I managed to lift it with infinite stamina, but that didn’t mean I was free from pain.

Why was I pushing myself to the limit like this?

Did I really need to do this?

Negative thoughts started to creep in, but I calmed myself with True Heart and continued exercising.

Thud.

After about 30 minutes, all the strength in my body suddenly drained away.

‘Even with Infinite Strength, it’s not truly infinite.’

It gave me infinite strength at the moment I needed it, but it seemed like it’s not the same when the duration ended.

Though I felt shaky, seeing the vitality in my body, it’s still a very useful talent.

I brushed my hair and looked at Kim Seo-hyun.

“……?”

Kim Seo-hyun swallowed, and her face turned completely red. She sniffed around as if trying to smell my sweat.

“……Seo-hyun?”

“……………………………………Yeah?”

“You seem spaced out.”

“No, no! It’s, it’s okay! Seo, Seo-ha, you must be very ti, tired, right? I’ll clean up here, you go take a shower first.”

“……Yeah.”

I simply nodded and headed to the shower room. After roughly 20 minutes of thorough showering, I came out and noticed something odd.

A few items from where I had been exercising were missing, or chairs seemed to have been completely replaced.

“……”

I tried to calm my mind and texted Kim Seo-hyun that I was leaving.

I headed towards the workshop within the school branch.

The workshop was already filled with various items.

“Kid.”

“Yes?”

A familiar voice reached my ears. I looked around for a moment and then looked down.

A small being, barely tall enough to reach my chest, called out to me. Messy hair, dark circles under tired eyes, and wearing a white coat. Her power felt weak, but within this school, her status was second to none.

Fairy race.

Among them, the Dwarves, also known as the Iron Race, was such a race who inherited their bloodline.

“What on earth did you do to make the principal bend to your will?”

“Bend to my will?”

“…Do you really not know?”

The vice principal looked at me and then tilted her head in confusion.

“Anyway, the item ordered by the principal is more troublesome than I thought. It will take about 3 days, so just be aware of that.”

“Okay.”

“And there are quite a few useful things here. Can I take some of them? Oh, I will pay for them.”

“That’s not possible.”

I said with a smile.

The vice principal narrowed her eyes.

‘How valuable are these things here.’

I glanced around, and most of the items were priceless.

The principal must have really put a lot of effort into this, considering the extent of these items.

‘That’s what makes it more frightening.’

‘How much does she expect from me to give me all these?’ - That’s the feeling.

“Ha, but kid. You, you. Do you know how to handle all these materials?”

The vice principal, a dwarf, asked me. I casually smiled and replied.

“It’s a secret, but actually, I am Veritas.”

“Huh?”

The vice principal blinked and looked at me.

Fairies had a racial ability called the Eye of the Heart. It’s not something grand, just the ability to discern truth from lies.

“No.”

And the vice principal realized that I was telling the truth.

“No, really. You are, you are Veritas?”

Confused eyes. I quietly nodded and grabbed the nearby materials using Nyeom.

In virtual reality, mana can be used, but it’s impossible here. However, that doesn’t mean I can’t handle the materials.

I touched the materials with the Energy of Defying Heaven. The Energy of Defying Heaven was the power of negation. It slightly negated the properties of the materials. The mana in the materials started to twist, flowing from right to left.

I took a deep breath and concentrated. Handling materials with the Energy of Defying Heaven was very tricky.

At the same time, I used the kit. I used Nyeom to make an elixir.

‘It’s worth a high price.’

With a Gold-grade kit, I couldn’t do both at the same time.

It’s possible because I was using a kit beyond the Diamond grade, one used by alchemy masters, and because I was the one using it.

After about 3 minutes, I presented a blue liquid shining radiantly in a glass bottle.

“Ta-da.”

The finished product was a Mana Elixir. A potion that temporarily increased mana.

“Is this convincing enough?”

“……”

The vice principal looked at me with a blank expression and then at the Mana Elixir. After a moment.

“……Yes.”

The vice principal spoke softly.

“Yes?”

“Pl, please sign.”

The vice principal blushed and turned her back to me.

“There are, there are no autograph papers right now, so, for now, on the coat…”

“Aren’t you a blacksmith?”

“…..”

“……”

Suddenly, a phrase from the internet came to mind.

The Church of Veritas.

It’s everywhere and nowhere. That phrase suddenly popped into my head.


I was hassled by the vice principal for a while.

She started by asking how I acquired such skills and whether I had any plans to collaborate with her in the future to create a workshop.

In [Epic World], the connection between blacksmiths and alchemists was significant.

In the game, mage towers and alchemists worked together to adjust materials and mana to create elixirs.

The protagonist invented something called [Enchant] in that process.

But I haven’t revealed that yet. Because if I revealed it too soon, it might cause confusion.

‘My skills haven’t reached that level yet.’

It’s something that would be unlocked when my alchemy rank reached S.

‘I was wondering why she became my fan.’

The vice principal said.

Initially, it was because I stated that everyone was wrong. She found that incredibly cool and became fascinated by my knowledge.

‘Does the vice principal have a tendency to fall in love quickly?’

Anyway.

I finished organizing everything at the school. I roughly arranged the things I had spread out, organized the lectures for the Lab Escape into documents, and sent them.

-But Seo-ha, isn’t this becoming like a bible?

‘……………Surely not.’

But it seemed like something the Church of Veritas would do. There were really people who worshiped me, but some internet spirits praised me for fun.

In fact, if I looked at what the Church of Veritas did, I would have nothing to say if they were called a den of villains.

‘However.’

Right now, there are more pressing things to do.

I looked up at the sky. It was a night with a crescent moon.

‘Maybe it’s time to start moving.’

It was time to catch the members of The Brigade of Eternal Heaven.


If there’s a meeting that seems like a coincidence, some might feel that it’s destiny.

But if the other person was frightening, what they felt was only fear. Like a woman feeling harassed by a male stalker.

That was my current situation.

“Oh my, we meet again?”

A tall woman with long black hair, quite pretty, gave me a playful smile.

“If it’s fate, how about going for a drink with me, oppa?”

“I have a girlfriend.”

“It’s okay. That’s how everyone lives. Men say their ideal type is the first woman they see. How about a partner?”

Ha Seonghwi, a member of The Brigade of Eternal Heaven, said so.

She looked at me with a suggestive expression. Glancing around, I noticed that the surrounding men were staring at her with dumbfounded expressions.

‘Annoying.’

Ha Seonghwi.

Her race was a succubus, and she was originally a monster inhabiting the Tower of Dreams.

Due to some reason, she was able to come out here, outside the tower, and joined hands with the leader of The Brigade of Eternal Heaven who helped her.

In terms of power, she was at the high end of the spectrum. However, her unique illusion was so strong that even the highest-ranked couldn’t stand against it.

That’s why she was one of the members particularly cherished by the leader.

I looked at Ha Seonghwi with a blank expression.

It’s a dilemma.

Should I pretend to be kidnapped by Ha Seonghwi and then subdue her?

Or should I subdue her right now?

[The Seal of Dreams (S) reacts.]

A faint pink light emanated from the engraved area.

“…Huh?”

[The inner skill, Qualification of Dreams (A+), activates. The ability is downgraded because it’s not inside the Tower of Dreams.]

[Absolute command right to give orders to succubus Ha Seonghwi activates.]

“Oh.”

Ha Seonghwi looked at me with a dumb expression.

I first gave a sly smile.

‘Lucky me.’

Things might turn out better than expected.
