“talent… ?”

Ellie widened her eyes. A genius since her birth, Ellie may have no idea just how incredible her natural talent is.

That’s the kind of thing that effort alone can never catch up to. Talent is a law that makes it possible for an ordinary person to obtain something that can only be achieved through strong luck, as if it were natural.

I’m not trying to say that geniuses don’t try. Right now, Ellie is studying magic with less sleep.

Of course, there are many students at the Academy who work as hard as Ellie.

However, differences in talent always produce different results. To the point of unfairness, talent creates probability even when differences in effort clearly exist.

Having obtained the essence of magic through the quantum jump, I was able to feel a bit of a genius just for a moment.

As Kane said, an endless amount of knowledge about magic comes to mind.

Just by thinking about magic in my head, I was able to enjoy it to the point where I could stand still and daydream for hours.

“Even if it’s vaguely a talent… Quantum jump requires an accurate terminal. “What kind of talent do you plan on acquiring?”

That’s a sharp point. Because there was no all-purpose loss that could obtain all talents in the terminal that would use Quantum Jump.

But I’ve already finished organizing my thoughts. I think there is only one talent I need to acquire.

“Of course it’s a talent related to combat.”

“Talent related to combat… ? Rather, I thought you would naturally choose a talent related to magic?”

I asked with a smile as I saw Ellie tilting her head and speaking as if she was puzzled.

“Why did you think that?”

Ellie straightened her back. Her black eyes, still a little bloodshot from shedding tears, shone brightly.

“Ross of Longing said that. Most Ross from other worlds were transferred to the Ministry of Magic at the beginning of the semester. “Wouldn’t it be of great help to you if, like Ross of Hope, you used your talent to become an archmage?”

It’s only been an hour since I got the memory, but it seems like my thoughts have already reached the place I was thinking about. That certainly makes sense. I thought so too until recently. My thoughts changed after meeting the saint.

“I’m sure magic will be of great help to me. But I don’t think magic is the answer to breaking all bonds.”

Those words seemed to have touched the pride of the girl who was the head of the first-year Magic Department and would become a future grand wizard. Ellie frowned and spoke bluntly, slightly sticking out her lips.

“Ros from the other world thought he couldn’t beat Roel if he stayed in the combat club, so he chose magic. He vaguely says he chooses a talent related to combat, so I don’t think he can beat Roel.”

It seems that he wasn’t being blunt just because he didn’t choose magic. Although her voice was a little sharp, it was clear that she wanted to help me make the best choice.

“You won’t be able to win. In the first place, I would never be able to defeat Roel, whether through magic or combat. “No matter what Ross does, there is a setting that he will lose to Roel.”

As Ross of Longing said, the reason why so many Ross transferred to the Ministry of Magic was clear. When it comes to swords, Roel is set to be the strongest in the world.

Whether it was a great sword or dual swords, Roel could freely use anything he could get his hands on.

Therefore, there are many Ross who chose the magic direction that can increase the win rate as much as possible, rather than the battle-related direction that is advantageous to Roel.

If I had naturally high magical power, I would have definitely chosen to transfer to the Ministry of Magic. I continued with a bitter smile.

“The reason I didn’t choose magic is because it’s a path that many Ross has already taken.”

Even though many Loss chose magic, there would never have been any significant results. The fact that all other worlds were trapped was evidence that made my words more persuasive.

“I, the last Ross who will save all the worlds, can’t make the easy choice that so many Ross failed to make, right?”

Of course, there is a unique case called Hope Ross… It’s the same as not being able to get out of the loop.

In the end, even the loss of hope that reached the level of a wise man, considering that the stake was all-in on me, the last loss… Magic was not enough for Ross’ final choice to save all worlds.

I fully understood the usefulness and power of magic, and that it could give me more options than I do now.

However, after much consideration, there was a reason why I chose a talent related to combat rather than magic.

Unlike Ross in other worlds, for reasons of probability, I have extremely low innate magical power.

In order to fully use the abilities of an archmage, a rough estimate would be to focus on elixirs and magic-related artifacts for at least two years to fully demonstrate that talent.

It is almost contradictory that I, who immediately lost most of my combat abilities and am trying to force myself to use Quantum Jump, have to spend two years solving the magic problem.

If the attack by the church that I had so loudly told Estelle about actually happened, it would be difficult to protect my life.

Confsion had already almost killed Luna. And there was no guarantee that it wouldn’t happen again.

There is a spy for the church hiding somewhere in the academy, and there are definitely people related to the devil’s followers.

Be it to protect Luna or for my precious friends… I wanted to become strong right away to protect everyone.

However, this is not a decision I made just thinking about it right away.

There was a clear reason why I wanted to choose a talent related to combat.

I said with a sly smile.

“Do I really need magic?”

“… what?”

As I expected, I shrugged my shoulders and responded to Ellie’s narrowed eyebrows.

“The future great wizard is already by my side, right? The magical part is all I need with your help. “I don’t feel the need to choose magic.”

Ellie pursed her lips at the sly reply. As if she had given a good answer, Ellie lifted her chin and the corners of her mouth slightly raised as she spoke.

“what… There is no need to have two outstanding archmages. Still, it’s true that I’m a little disappointed. “If you gain the talent of an archmage, you will be equal to me or worse.”

“… “Don’t you usually say it’s abnormal in times like this?”

“Of course I’m a genius. “I’m a born genius, right?”

I laughed in bewilderment at the sight of Ellie smiling shamelessly while saying that. Ellie’s playful attitude made me feel a little more at ease.

“But with this quantum jump, you will be able to achieve something greater than if you chose magic.”

“More than magic?”

Instead of answering Ellie’s suspicious look, as if asking if such a thing really existed, I materialized a spear of shadow in my hand and showed it to her.

“window… ?”

“The talent I want to choose is a talent related to spears.”

As soon as I finished speaking, Ellie jumped up from her chair. Ellie stuttered out her words, looking at me with her larger-than-normal eyes, as if I’d heard her nonsense.

“Well, what… ?”

Was it a bit out of context? This time I decided to explain further.

“I plan to use the spear from another world to call up Ross’s terminal, which has reached the realm of transcendence.”

Ellie said, glaring at me with fierce eyes.

“You’re giving up on becoming an archmage and only choosing a talent related to the spear? Are you out of your mind? Since it’s battle-related, I thought I’d naturally call up Ross’ terminal, who has become a sword master!”

I smiled and shook my head at Ellie’s violent reaction.

“No, you’re wrong. “That is a choice that fails to preserve the characteristics of this world.”

“characteristic… ?”

“I thought about it. “Why did Ross of Hope try to revive a discarded setting?”

I didn’t think there could be just one reason. Judging by the promise I had made with the saint in advance, Ross of Hope was looking further afield than I expected.

“It was a world created by imagination, so they probably wanted to loosen its restrictions. “A world full of variables where numerous discarded settings exist and where probabilities play a role in those settings would be a place with fewer restrictions and overflowing with creative possibilities compared to other worlds.”

I removed the window of shadow that was materializing and continued speaking.

“The standards for Sword Master and Archmage have already been set. You can roughly estimate how much power it has. But what about non-existent settings like Spear Master? “Because there is no set limit to growth, unlike the Sword Master, there are no problems with probability even if growth exceeds the realm of transcendence.”

Unlike my world, Ross, who used a spear in another world, did not have a Spear Master, so he would have been blocked by the wall of probability and his growth would have stopped. However, if this is where the discarded setting was revived, it would not go against probability if the first Spear Master was born.

“And there is the biggest reason why I chose the spear over the others.”

Ellie had already given up on trying to persuade me, but her eyes sparkled with anticipation, as if she was curious about the reason.

“Is there any other special reason?”

“Yes, because of this.”

I took out Fatulga’s magic book from the space storage and handed it to Ellie. Ellie, who carefully received her spellbook, stroked its cover and then tilted her head.

“What on earth does Fatulga’s grimoire have to do with choosing a spear?”

The way to satisfy expectations is to make the other person more curious. Seeing Ellie waiting for my answer with interested eyes, I cleared my throat, paused for a moment, and spoke.

“As Longing Ross said. Fatulga’s magic book is said to be unique in all the world. “Someone definitely intended for this to come into my hands.”

Ellie stuck out her tongue and moistened her lips with an expression of uncertainty.

“Perhaps God prepared something special for the last loss… ?”

“I don’t know whose intention it was, but I would have guessed that if I got my hands on Fatulga’s magic book, I would definitely choose the spear to utilize spatial magic due to my lack of magical power. God or anyone… “I think there must be a reason why I used the spear.”

Actually, Ross of Longing already gave me a hint. He said that his meeting with himself was not a chance coincidence, but a fate of a gigantic universe that surpasses the will of God… The manager is already involved.

I don’t know what an administrator is, or how I was able to modify the Farel family’s magic book and the settings book that the saintess gave me and change it to Patul family’s magic book. Because it did not exist in the novel or in the discarded setting.

But considering the reaction of the eager Ross, who smiled with uncontrollable joy at the manager’s intervention, one thing was certain.

The unidentified manager is not my enemy.
