Seeing the determination in my eyes, Miss Smith believed me and stopped laughing. "Good, you need to have that kind of mindset if you want to survive in this world." I understand where she was coming from as I knew all the evil that would be coming our way. Changing the subject back to my analysis Miss Smith continued to explain the last bits. "Although there is a higher chance of losing your life when you throw yourself into your enemy there is also a higher chance of survival." "Because you…-

Now, this was something I was excited about! Having a plan set forth would make things much easier as I would be able to see firsthand how far I came and what things I need to spend more time on. "Your analysis was a bit lacking but you still got a few good points." 'Well, that's not too bad for something I've only done once.' "You were right about your first point where you should have expected an attack at any time but you were a bit off with your thinking." I waited for her to elaborate. "Of…

All those times I was relaxing or thinking of a plan I was mentally using Mana Breath. Since I had used it so much beforehand I had the technique memorized which is why even if I didn't have a mouth or body to actually breathe with, I could count the seconds and after a couple of decades it became natural. Unfortunately, all that time I was using Mana Breath it didn't transfer to the real world. Had it, I would be the weakest ranker with the highest amount of Mana. If I had used it for the entire…

Mesmerized by the mark I completely forgot about the pain as I examined the location that it appeared on my hand. Overall, it was quite small in size as it was only around 2.5 cm long and 1.75 cm wide. It was perfectly centered in the middle of my hand and looked exactly like how a tattoo would. Though unlike a tattoo it wasn't created from ink rather some mysterious force that most likely made it permanent. The half-crested moon was filled in and was black in color. I knew almost immediately what…

Being in an even closer proxy to the girl my mind was shaking with every passing second. If I could think clearly I would be speculating if there was some sort of outward influence affecting my train of thought however nothing of the sort crossed my mind. "How long was I in there?" "A century." The voice of the girl was still sweet even if her reply was short. When I managed to make sense of what she said I figured that the timeline made sense. After going through such an experience once it was…

"I'm surprised." Those simple two words echoed throughout the empty void and rang in my ears as a language I had heard in a long time resonated with me. "You've successfully defeated that trial I set forth to test one's willpower. Therefore I will grant you the ability to wield my full power and I will free all those who came before you." Once the voice finished speaking the abyss began to crumble anyway and light filled the darkness for the first time. While the world was deteriorating my soul…

Within the empty nothingness rather than facing fear I was extremely relaxed not having the least bit of dread. What should have — for any sane person — been a nightmare to go through didn't faze me in the slightest. To begin with it was clear that the purpose of the trial was to test one's determination. All one had to do was simply survive in the void for an extended period of time and one would gain full access to the sword's authority. So long as one had the willpower to keep going one would…

"Huh." I couldn't believe it this whole time Miss Smith had been hyping up the sword and now that we reached the grand finale she was practically cucking me? "Unfortunately it's true, no one of S rank has ever wielded this sword and I don't know exactly what to ask someone because I have a feeling that they won't be willing to return it." What Miss Smith said made sense if someone as strong as an S ranker got their grubby little mitts on the sword when it only has five runes I bet they would keep it…

Before I was able to learn anything more about the new aspects that appeared before me I was interrupted by the steps of Miss Smith. Knowing that my time was up I closed my status panel and lowered my arm waiting in anticipation for the training I would soon be receiving. Once Miss Smith finally made it over to me she handed me a sword. I grabbed hold of the sword haphazardly not paying any attention to it as my focus was still split on Aether and needing to get stronger. But then I heard Miss Smith…

"…" I was too shocked to respond with any reasoning. Was she making a joke, being serious, or hinting at something more? But a second later right before it got to the point it would have become awkward she broke out into laughter. "Oh my, you should see your face right now!" Now knowing that it was a joke I faked laughing to fit in. "Ha, you sure got me." But I don't think she even heard my response as she kept laughing to the point it started getting hard for her to breathe. 'Is it really that…
