The Munchkin Disciple Wants To Stop Being Obsessed Over - Chapter 179



The Table of Destruction (5)

Just a few months ago, I was able to see the notification window I had been waiting for.

[Learn swordsmanship and magic from Daphne. (Progress: 10.00002%)]

[You can proceed with other quests.]

[You can escape from Daphne.]

A phrase that can be seen 5 years after receiving the quest.

I couldn’t help but be delighted, but also curious.

‘This is only 10%, so how strong is the Master who is 100%?’

I have only learned 10% of swordsmanship and magic. However, my sword cut through soul and space, and my magic created fire and ice.

Of course, I wasn’t able to use it as perfectly as my master. Nevertheless, the Shingeom style I had learned from my master was more than enough to exert a great influence on this world.

I’ve been through a lot over the past few months and have faced many enemies.

The lives of the followers of the Chaos Cult were easily taken.

The fallen ones were dealt with without difficulty.

He completely eradicated the sin that was called the nemesis of mankind.

And all the while, the number I was seeing was always 10.00002%.

Maybe that’s why. From some point on, I started repeating to myself instead of questioning myself.

‘This is enough.’

I took first place at the academy with overwhelming skill.

No matter what enemy appeared before me, my swordsmanship and magic were fatal to them.

Not only the sinners, but also the high and mighty men, such as the blacksmiths, the emperors, and the popes, seemed beneath me.

I had no fear. I thought I could overcome anything.

It certainly was.

Until just a few minutes ago.

Crunch.

The two swords that the Master swung are put back into their scabbards.

From noble mtl dot com

Wheww.

The wind blows, and her platinum hair flutters in the slowed time.

Choaaak!

I can hear the sound of something splitting and breaking.

Only after hearing the sound can you see the countless lines drawn in the world.

The moment I realized this.

“···!”

Everything in my sight was torn apart and split apart.

Air, bushes, flower petals, wind, time, space, dust, mana, emotions, etc.

Literally everything was bare.

“Ugh, ugh···.”

I got goosebumps. My legs were shaking, and my breathing was ragged. My whole body was drenched in cold sweat.

I blinked. Then, I saw the world as it was before, where nothing had changed.

Even though I clearly saw that it was all torn apart and split.

Slurp.

“···.”

Was what I saw not a complete lie? Part of my clothes and hair fluttered in the wind and fell to the floor.

“ha ha ha···!”

The fact that I saw something made me laugh. It was a laughter that was a mixture of joy, despair, and self-loathing.

It was a feeling of emptiness at having lived without seeing this world for so long.

I felt guilty about having acted arrogantly on such a topic.

It was a joy to have acquired the insight to see this world without missing it.

“I think you saw something when I saw you smiling.”

As I laughed, the Master stared at my face and opened his lips.

“I saw it.”

“What did you see?”

“Master’s world.”

“You saw it correctly.”

In response to my answer, the teacher only then showed a bright smile.

“Then… can you show your world to this teacher?”

“I could show you how, but I think it would be very different from your world.”

“That would be a happy thing. If you do, show me your world, which is different from mine.”

I nodded and swung the two swords I was holding more diligently than ever.

[Learn swordsmanship and magic from Daphne. (Progress: 82.00002%)]

****

Deep in the forest, where the only light is bright yellow moonlight.

Daphne was heading towards the log cabin, carrying on her back her disciple, who had grown to be several hands taller than her.

“When did it get so big?”

The disciple, who had passed out from exhaustion, had become considerably heavier than he had been seven years ago.

At first, it was definitely light as a feather,

At first, it was so small that I had to lift my chest to see it.

At some point, his disciple grew tall enough that he had to look up at him, and he grew heavy enough that he had to use mana to carry him.

“I thought I had become dull···.”

Daphne was lost in her emotions for the first time in a while.

“Time is still a scary thing to me.”

1,000 years. Even as a joke, the years that could not be considered short were enough to dull Daphne’s emotions.

I did everything I could. There was nothing I hadn’t experienced, and there was no emotion I hadn’t felt.

So she couldn’t help but be numb. She didn’t laugh or cry over anything. Her emotions were extremely rare. Daphne’s face was expressionless most of the day.

It was seven years ago that emotions began to slowly rise again in her expression, which seemed unchanging.

Its beginning was by accident.

Footsteps that moved unconsciously, like grains of sand floating down flowing water.

Daphne, who was walking day and night without any thoughts, discovered a boy.

Hair as black as pitch,

Eyes so red they look like they’re on fire.

The sight of the boy, who resembled someone so much that she momentarily thought she was dreaming and who had the same fate as someone else, as if it were a lie, brought about a feeling of nostalgia and emotional turmoil in Daphne.

The boy was being chased by the Cult of Chaos and a group of monsters.

Daphne saved the boy and took him in as her disciple.

He taught swordsmanship and magic. The boy, like everyone else a long time ago, absorbed swordsmanship and magic as soon as they were taught and made them his own.

Camel Hyacinth, Daphne’s disciple, was what is called a genius. No, it was not enough to call him a genius.

Because Camel had such overwhelming talent that no matter how many geniuses in the world flew by, they couldn’t dare to surpass him.

Teaching a child with that much talent was quite enjoyable, even for Daphne, who had become dull and dull.

As she watched Camel grow little by little, Daphne continued to feel a sense of joy and accomplishment.

Emotions that were slowly starting to come back to life, Camel’s talent was a talent, but what was most effective was the liveliness of Camel’s existence.

Camel had a childish way of thinking. She was so smart that she never lost an argument with Daphne.

Camel had a warm heart. She would grumble but also act thoughtfully, making Daphne’s lips twitch, and sometimes she would even make up for her shortcomings.

Camel was very emotional. She could laugh, cry, get angry, be grumpy, and even whine.

Daphne spent seven years with Camel. The master and disciple were always together during that time.

So it was natural. Daphne, who had watched Camel grow up, could keenly feel how much Camel had grown.

“···.”

Daphne, who was walking, turned her head backwards for a moment.

What Daphne could see was the meadow in the distance, where Camel’s world was vaguely spread out.

No, to be exact, it used to be a grassland. Now, it looked more like a wilderness than a grassland.

“haha···.”

Daphne burst into laughter as she recalled the world she had seen for the first time just a while ago.

You’re like a disciple who is annoying. No matter how much help I gave you, you’re like that. I showed you just once, and you imitated the ultimate secret technique that I had been honing and perfecting for a very long time.

It was a complicated feeling. I felt empty and proud at the same time. I hated my disciple, but he also seemed pretty.

“Maybe this time for sure···.”

Daphne muttered as she opened the door to the log cabin she had arrived at.

“I really don’t know if I’ll ever see the end.”

The word ‘end’ that Daphne uttered contained a lot of meaning.

Suddenly.

Daphne opened the door and entered the house while muttering, but then suddenly stopped moving.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak.”

The reason was a young girl with blue hair sitting on the living room floor. In front of the girl, all the things in the house, like jerky, bread, and cheese, were taken out. Also, the girl was eating something deliciously, with crumbs of food all over her mouth.

The girl and the woman’s eyes met.

“···?”

“Huh···?”

Daphne’s eyes were wide open, and she couldn’t say anything, while the girl tilted her head while sucking the jerky like it was candy, as if asking who she was and why she came to her house.

“you···.”

Just as Daphne was about to mutter something, the girl’s gaze turned to Camel, who was being carried on Daphne’s back.

“dad···?”

The girl blinked. To Daphne, it seemed as if the girl was trying to figure out what was going on with her small head.

A moment passed. The girl with blue hair seemed to have finished assessing the situation, threw the jerky she was holding in her lips onto the floor, and stood up.

“aha···!”

The girl who had risen pointed her little finger at Daphne, as if she knew who she was.

And then he opened his lips and smiled brighter than anyone else in the world.

“Grandma!”

Daphne’s expression became distorted like a demon’s.
