CHAPTER - 30
Director (Hesitant): Can I ask you a... perhaps foolish question? Will Gabriel ever surpass you?
Dav (Smiling amusedly): Impossible.
There will always be an abyss of strength between me and Gabriel. An apostle cannot defeat his "God."
Trying to kill one’s own God means draining every single drop of blood, mana, and power received from him.
Just the intent to do so would reduce him to 1% of his strength against me.
Of course, this only applies if my intent is to kill him and not to train him.
Vice versa for him.
During one of our fights, Gabriel felt that murderous intent for just a moment... and at that moment, he became nothing more than a mere insect before me. He was defeated without any difficulty.
Even without these limitations, he could never beat me. He could train for hundreds of thousands of years, even if I gave him all my power, and it wouldn't change anything.
(Dav reflects for a moment.) My ability... Multiplied Growth.
But not just that.
(Smirks to himself.)
All my abilities are God-grade. No human will ever be able to reach them... unless a God descends to Earth and starts using them as well. Ahaha.
In that case, things would be different.
I wonder... do Gods really exist, beyond just history books?
Director (Looking at the arena): Another rather irrelevant question...
What are your plans? Your dream?
Dav (Smiling unconsciously): I’d like to see my kids finish the academy and enter university.
After that, honestly, I don’t know... maybe I’ll find out when the time comes.
Director (Relaxed, glancing at the clock): Shall we go to lunch?
Will you yell at them again to call them?
Dav (Horrifyingly happy expression): Maybe you haven’t noticed, but every five minutes, there’s always someone watching us from the arena to make sure I start calling them... and to avoid becoming a victim of the magic circles.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
Director (Laughing): I don’t believe it! You’ll have to show me so I can believe it! AHAHAH!
Dav (Demonic look): Watch carefully.
(Shouting) SHITHEADS! LUNCH BREAK!
Fin (Terrified): LUNCH BREAK, RUN!
Narrator: Everyone rushed to wash up before heading to the cafeteria.
Iris (Sweet smile): Professor, the table is almost ready.
I’ve prepared extra food to make sure others can join us too.
Dav: It’ll probably be like yesterday, with the Director joining, but I’m not sure about Professor Kael.
Narrator: One by one, everyone started sitting down, including Professor Eldrin.
Professor Evelyn Rosendale also arrived, desperately looking for a seat.
She usually preferred eating alone, isolating herself with her notes and carefully reviewing them, but that day was different.
As soon as Dav saw her enter through the door, he invited her to join them.
She accepted immediately, with a mix of embarrassment and happiness.
Iris prepared a plate for her and handed her the utensils.
Kael arrived a bit late, apologizing, and joined the group.
The Director told stories, involving even Professors Eldrin and Kael in the conversation.
Dav remained silent, his elbow resting on the table, his hand supporting his head as he ate absentmindedly, observing the group with a thoughtful look.
Narrator: After lunch, Dav went to the library to look for new books to read and study.
Dav (Doubtful): I swear, if she suddenly appears again, I’ll...
Narrator: He didn’t even have time to finish the sentence...
Valeria Moretti: Professor!
Dav (Panicked, Screaming): AHHHH!
(Scolding her): Will you stop appearing behind me all of a sudden?!
Valeria Moretti (Laughing): "AHAHAH!"
(Curious) ...Well?.. What brings you here today?
Dav: Looking for more books on KI.
Remember KI, right?
You spent half an hour reading about it with me, almost giving me a heart attack...
Valeria Moretti (Hand on chin): Yes, I remember well.
But finding more books like that is difficult even for me... They’re very old books that someone either threw away or simply hid for personal reasons, probably.
I can help you look if you want.
I have nothing to do, and I’m bored... so I’ll be at your disposal.
Dav (Thinking to himself): For them to be this hidden means someone wants to keep them secret... But why?
Alright, let’s search the back of the shelves. Maybe we’ll find something.
Dav: I haven’t found anything except some books on training techniques and this strange scroll with an incomprehensible language.
Valeria Moretti: Found anything? I only found this scroll and this pretty old key.
Dav (Very curious, asked her): Show me the scroll, if you don’t mind.
(Thinking) Very similar to this one... Found behind some shelves, but I can’t read it.
(Asking) Do you understand any of it?
Valeria Moretti: (Moving her arms) "I’m sorry, but no... I can’t understand anything, and this language seems ancient.
As for the key, it looks really old. Should I throw it away?
Dav: Let’s keep it. Maybe it’s connected to all this since it was found at the back of the shelves.
Found any books, even if they’re not about KI?
Valeria Moretti: This book talks about an old human researcher who tried to uncover secrets while traveling.
Nothing more.
Dav: For now, keep the book. Tomorrow, we’ll search again to learn more about these scrolls.
I’m going to rest for now. See you tomorrow, Miss Valeria.
