Another day, and after having thoroughly thrashed the heroes under the pretense of field training where I placed them in the arena to face , and beat them until they passed out, I’ve co to the teachers’ lounge with the Saint.
I have matters to discuss with the Saint, and it was quite fun beating the heroes they didn’t stand a chance because they couldn’t use magic or weapons, only mana reinforcent.
Since that was the excuse I used, a supposed situation where they don’t have ti to use anything other than their bodies, experience, and planning to face the enemy.
And since the Saint was there to heal them, I could beat them as much as I wanted, after all, I have a much superior physique to theirs, and without the use of abilities, they don’t stand a chance against a "killing machine" like .
In the end, it’s basic race limitations, humans will never be equal in general attributes to my race.
"So...we’re alone, no teacher within a 200-ter radius," I say to the Saint, sitting on the desk without caring much for the papers, I want the Saint’s answer about taking to the church.
"..." The Saint, who is frightened by the situation, remains silent, she doesn’t even try to speak about my current posture of sitting on top of the other teachers’ work as if it were nothing.
"I hope you’ve thought about my request with care," I say to her arrogantly, reminding her of what happened before, anyway, there are no teachers here to hear.
This is another advantage of being a temporary teacher, while the other teachers are in class, I’m here free to "play" a little with the Saint.
"I-I...yesterday I spoke with the Pope...and-he said he’s eagerly awaiting to see you at the church, he also said he would give you special attention since he wants to connect with the divine," The Saint speaks, surprising . The Pope himself allowed it? Why?
’Why would this person allow that?’ I had even thought of threatening the Saint with influence, saying that if they didn’t allow to go to the church, the Grand Duchy would close all the church’s trade routes and cancel all its contracts. After all, the Grand Duchy basically controls the kingdom’s economy at the mont, so that threat could have worked, but apparently, I don’t even need to do anything, what a surprise.
Although it’s a bit uncomfortable that the Saint has inford the Pope so quickly about my request, doesn’t she realize the danger? Luck for her that I’m in a good mood and won’t do anything.
’There must be sothing behind this’ I don’t believe these religious people would let soone like into the church so easily, this specific point still bothers .
"What does the Pope want with ?" I know the Pope is the highest figure in the church, he never appears directly, always sending the Saint in his place, even in the summoning of the heroes, it was the Saint who ca, not the Pope.
So, in my view, this guy is a malicious rat, who uses others to get what he wants, but doesn’t act directly, so he can always bla others for failures, among other things.
"I-I don’t know, I-I just know he wants to see you there, he said it would be a ’Joyful visit’ for the church," From what I see in the Saint’s colors, it doesn’t seem to be a lie, I wonder what this guy really wants with .
"So I can go to the church?" I question her to get more information about it.
"Y-Yes, the Pope just said he needs so ti, so it can’t be right now, m-maybe in two weeks or sothing like that," The Saint speaks, clearly too scared to look in the eye.
’2 weeks...enough ti to hide things that shouldn’t be seen’ I wonder if he agreed to let go just to avoid being labeled as suspicious, since he can always use the excuse of ti linked to the fact that he has to prepare everything for the visit.
"Alright," I say with a smile, it doesn’t matter what he wants to hide, it’s not like I’m after anything specific that would be damaging to his reputation, I just want to go there in search of the list of unique abilities of the heroes that I’m sure they have.
So it’s fine to take a little while, after all, I have a fight to do with Mikael, and I’m sure it will be a chaotic battle, I should already start preparing in whatever way possible.
I just get up and go to a chair in the farthest corner, picking up a book and a pen to write down so things, I should devise a strategy to fight against Mikael.
The terrain won’t be useful, because either we’ll fight in a different location so the planet doesn’t take damage, in which case it’s a Mikael ability, or we’ll fight in one of my universes.
I can always create a small one just for our fight, after all, with the power of sumari, the damage is inevitable, although I prefer to fight in a separate space that Mikael has, as that’s a greater guarantee that the location can withstand the fight.
I’m not sure how resistant my self-created universes are, so I can’t say they would withstand Mikael, in addition, my universes are still very limited in structure to even handle this fight.
Ignoring the Saint, who starts shuffling so papers, I begin to recall the fight I had with Mikael to gain as much knowledge as possible and figure out what approach to use.
The first important point I rember is Mikael’s fighting style, he focuses on brutal and devastating attacks, sumari is a sword too large for certain types of movents, which is an obvious limitation that can be an advantage for .
Since I have a more versatile and free fighting style, mainly with weapons suitable for my size, as Mikael opts for a more brutal combat, I should go for a more agile approach.
Using pure speed and movent to try to compete, I know that head-on I will lose, Mikael held back in our first fight and even then it was very difficult to compete head-on.
Now that he won’t hold back anymore, it’s impossible to constantly go head-on, I can defend so blows, but the damage may not make up for the attempt to defend.
Furthermore, if I’m defending, I’ll be exposed to magic and abilities that Mikael knows, and even the sumari magic itself, which I don’t know exactly how it works.
But I have a unique tactical advantage, Violet, who can cut destiny, if there is a destiny in which I will receive an attack that will kill instantly, I just need to cut that destiny beforehand with Violet.
I can’t see the destiny, but Violet said she can, so I’ll leave the defense against very strong attacks to Violet, unfortunately, Violet has limitations on what she can see.
So she can’t tell how the fight will go or things like that, she can only see the imdiate future about to happen, so she can’t give real support in the current planning.
She also has other useful abilities like rewriting destiny, but these are very costly, and anomalies like and Mikael can easily shatter destiny.
Especially with sumari, which has a concept more tied to destroying everything, and I don’t doubt that sumari can even "devour" destiny, so I have to think carefully about how to use the mana I have.
In theory, I have three major mana reserves, I have my tail, my angelic halo, and finally, Violet, who can share her mana with , that’s enough mana to generate powerful attacks continuously.
I start scribbling so things in the book, mostly movents and spells, if it’s about the scenario, there’s a way to make any scenario advantageous for .
I just need to create platforms with magic and keep jumping from one to the other to increase speed, this has always been my focus anyway, but I must be careful with the damage.
Unfortunately, I’ve never been suited to the term general physical resistance, it’s a fact that I’m very resistant, but if I compare attributes, I’m stronger and faster than resistant.
And this is obviously because regeneration is the real highlight I have, with my current regeneration, it should be able to withstand so attacks without problems.
The biggest problem that remains would be being "devoured" by sumari, its abilities are mostly unknown, and the only thing I’ve seen it do was a devastating attack that wiped out everything in its path.
I don’t know if I can withstand that attack and I don’t want to receive such a blow to test it, I must be careful, Mikael is a human, he won’t be leaving openings without thinking.
He’s smart, so I have to be even smarter, any opening can cost my life in this fight, it would be great to have my divine weapon, but it hasn’t appeared yet, and Delphina said hers just appeared out of nowhere, so there’s nothing I can do.
I also don’t want to use armor or anything like that, for two obvious reasons, there’s no armor that can withstand the attacks of a special-grade weapon, unless it’s also a special-grade armor.
And the second reason is that it would interfere with my movents, which need to be as free as possible.
I’ll fight by making movents that no human body can, I have a flexibility that is unattainable for most, and I should take advantage of that with intelligence.
’Okay...sothing is taking shape...’ There are many scribbles in the book, there are many flaws and variables that I need to think carefully about, I have ti and I will use it to prepare ntally.
