The Greatest Man in the World Hides His Power - The Greatest Man in the World Hides His Power chapter 17

17 – Twins – 2

This world has a world view centered on agriculture.

Agriculture follows the season and adapts to nature.

Because people get up in the morning when the sun rises, work while the sun is up, and go home to rest when the sun goes down, most of the nights in the manor are dark and quiet.

However, there was a place where the truth did not work, and that place was the academy.

It is said to be a simple education and research institute, but it was created by the cooperation of four countries.

Therefore, research and education were conducted day and night, and like most researchers and scholars, they showed more zealous efforts at night.

That’s why the academy area is called ‘The Night’.

Since there are many people who sleep during the day and are active at night, magic lanterns prepared for them have been placed throughout the city to provide light for those who enjoy the night.

And, in this bright day that hadn’t even become night, the magic lanterns were shining.

Because of a confrontation between a man and a woman.

“Come on! You bastard!”

“This time, I’ll crush you with words!”

He had a pretty handsome face, but perhaps because he was frowning, his handsomeness could not be revealed properly. Holding a battle hammer in one hand and a shield in the other, he moved quickly, as if the armor he was wearing wasn’t heavy.

Dealing with him was a woman wearing a red dress and a red robe. What was unusual was that she had many similarities with men. The dark black strands were the color of her hair, or the color of her eyes as dark as pitch black.

The woman, who seemed offended by even the resemblance, threw the vial she was holding in her hands.

– Boom!! Bang!!

The dormant flames in her magic lantern flare up every time she throws her vial and it shatters on a man’s battle hammer.

The rising flames turned into arrows and flew towards the man, who blocked them all with his shield and gnashed his teeth.

“You crazy b*tch! Throw fire arrows at Ji oppa?!”

“Ha! What would a hammer wielder do to his younger brother?!”

Ah. Is it a sibling fight?

But they fight fiercely. I’m going to catch a real person.

“Shouldn’t it dry?”

Our destination comes only when we pass where they are fighting. So he told Cecile, but she only shook her head slowly.

“It’s a fight between a wizard and a knight. It’s a bit difficult to see it as a simple sibling fight… Let’s see.”

I told you to end the fight and stick to the bargain. But what if the employer says so?

I just have to watch.

“Haaa!!”

“Ahhhhh!!”

Fire arrows, fire arrows, sometimes ice arrows. To the ensuing fireball.

The splendid magic unfolded and pressed the man step by step.

The man who was blocking it with his shield threw out his shield and rushed at the woman, sharpening his teeth.

“Stop!!”

“Theros! Lila!! It’s you guys again!”

“Eh.”

“Kuuk.”

Those who had been fighting each other like they were going to kill each other just now turned white at the sight of a group of people.

The moment they turned to run away, Cecil lightly waved her hand.

“Ouch?!”

“What?!”

The ring of light created from her hand caught them both. They struggled in bewilderment until they found Cecil, and their faces turned white.

“Se, Professor Cecil…?”

“When… Did you come? Ahahahahaha…”

“You don’t do the research you’re told to do, and you’re having a blast. That’s great. Are you getting ready for the thesis? If it’s enough to make you relaxed like this, can you cut down on the time?”

“aaagh! No way!”

“My, please have mercy…”

“No. I can’t change it. Go back.”

She said calmly enough that I felt the chill when I was watching from the side. In the end, as the two captured and unable to escape were dragged away with downcast faces, the people watching around them moved.

Destroyed lanterns return to their original form. In the aftermath of the fight, the flames that wanted to burn here and there died down, and the black stains disappeared.

It did not take long for the gruesome scene created by the two siblings to return to normal.

After lightly greeting Cecile, I looked around and admired the sights around them as they left.

“The thing called magic. It’s more amazing than I thought. By the way, were you a professor?”

“I’m just an associate professor.”

I heard that you are just studying, but you are an associate professor.

Seeing the two of them tremble there, Cecil seems to be a greater person than I thought.

“Okay. Then let’s go.”

With her light steps, she climbed into her carriage and beckoned her to me. A smile tugged at Cecil’s lips as she obeyed her call and climbed into her carriage.

“Why? Do I look new?”

“Yes. But from what I’ve heard, it’s all about studying…”

“To get a scholarship, sometimes you have to take classes for the lower grades. Both the Ministry of Magic and the Ministry of Knights.”

“And the knight department?”

“Because I have to teach you how to respond to magic.”

He seems to be a person with such abilities. The lord of our estate.

Well, that’s why Atram must have said that if Cecil came along, everything would be resolved.

“The sage is amazing.”

“Even so, there is a limit. It is impossible to solve the part we are currently researching. Ah. We have arrived.”

The carriage stopped before I knew it. Looking down, a large castle appeared.

Is this an academy? It is clearly felt that it is an educational and research institution created by four countries working together.

“Let’s go.”

There are many places to visit, but the first thing you need to do is a demon sword that is said to have come from the other world. It is to check the Taegeuk Demon Sword.

Cecil took me to her own laboratory and pointed at the sword wrapped in soft light.

“This is a demonic sword from another world. Why is it called a demonic sword… Most of the people who wield this sword suffered psychological damage.”

“Eh. That’s right. The Taegeuk Demon Sword contains the power of Spiritual Numbers, so if an unqualified person holds it, it inflicts mental damage..”

“Really?”

“And if you don’t have a certain level of mental power, your mind will be controlled by the magic sword. Did everyone who held this sword at the academy do that?”

“No. There was no problem with the professor level or higher. However, he said he felt dizzy if he held it for a long time.”

“Even if it is not controlled by the demonic sword, it is because the sword did not recognize it as its owner. There was only one owner of this sword in my place.”

Taegeukgeomje. There was no one other than that guy who could hold this demonic sword.

“Is it impossible for you too?”

“Well… I’m not very close…”

“With a sword?”

“No. With the owner.”

Looking at his face, he was busy growling, so what should I do to touch that sword?

It’s kind of funny when you think about it. I never thought I would be able to hold the Taegeuk Demon Sword, which I had never touched even in Moorim.

“Would you like to hold it?”

“Are you okay?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

With a light clap, the light contained in the sword disappeared. Seeing her nodding her head, I grabbed her Taegeuk Demon Sword.

There was no particular problem.

– Woo woo woo woo…!!!

Except for the vibrating sound the sword hates terribly.

“Why are you doing that?”

“I guess I don’t like it. Well, it was a Taegeuk sword.”

I put the sword down and it stopped shaking.

“But what research do you do with this?”

“It’s because of the power contained in the sword. What appears when you swing the sword. We think it’s the sword skill… Is that right?”

“Yes. Taegeuk Demon Sword generates sword energy just by swinging it.”

That’s why fighting Taegeukgeomje was very annoying. Since heocho also contains sword spirit, there is no limit or end to the direction of expressing herbivore.

“As expected.”

Anyway, it’s a sword worthy of being coveted by the academy.

It was said that sword skills that only knights of a certain level can use can cut anything.

Actually, sword skills can’t cut everything.

Anyway, equipment that allows you to use power beyond the level must be attractive enough.

“If we can mass-produce a weapon like this, we will have more means to counter the Black Alchemist and other dangerous groups. But… Research isn’t easy. Like I said before, I couldn’t hold the sword for very long.”

Well, it’s a demonic sword. I looked at the Taegeuk Demon Sword and grabbed the hilt again.

– Wooooo!!!

This time too, the sword trembles as if he openly hates it.

That’s filthy noisy.

Cecile frowned and covered her ears. The vibration continued to grow louder, so I put my hand on the sword face and said.

“Shut up.”

– ……..

End with this. The trembling sword became silent as if dead.

“…How did you do it?”

“This sword also has a will of its own. It must have been frightening to think that it might really break if it kept messing around.”

“That’s amazing.”

“This contains the will of the sword. If you are going to do research, it would be better to focus on this.”

I pointed to the Taegeuk attached to the hilt of the sword. Cecile stared at it with a serious expression, then tilted her head.

“Come to think of it, I was quite curious about this pattern… What is it?”

“Taegeuk. The core of Yin-Yang energy…”

I came to teach Taegeuk all of a sudden.

Cecil listened to my story with a serious expression, then nodded and spoke seriously.

“That’s an interesting explanation. Yin and yang harmonize to form harmony… It’s quite strange to hear that two things born from one chaos join forces. They look like twins, and it’s also strange that they get good reviews. .”

“Yes?”

What about the twins?

As I looked up, Cecil smiled bitterly.

“It also appeared in the creation myth. The creator god created one, but two came out. They are a good god and an evil god. That’s why twins are said to be unlucky. No. To be precise…”

“…..”

“One of the two will be treated as an evil spirit.”
