“…… ! Ha, one room?”

“I thought it was a victory for the commoner because the shield was destroyed…. What happened?”

“I didn’t even use the fire from Professor Kronia!”

“What did you do? That strong Dia in one shot… !”

“Did you see what happened in a second?”

“No, I didn’t see it. Is it magic I don’t see you as a person who uses the body.”

Dia’s attack was excellent.

Distract your attention by striking the shield with your sword and secretly water the shield.

Since it can handle water, it is probably because the water buried in the shield is to figure out the shield and find a way to destroy it.

It was perfect until it bounced off the shield and destroyed the shield by shooting a stream of water at the same time.

It was a pity that he changed his weapon from the attack after destroying the shield to the gauntlet, but considering that he is still an inexperienced freshman, it is understandable.

Even compared to other students I’ve seen before, his skills are at a high level.

If you had entered last year, you could have been ranked at the top of your grade.

However, I lost consciousness with a single blow from Pulse Rayno’s feet.

From noble mtl dot com

Luke. What number did you use? This is the first time such an attack has occurred.

General attacks have an activation and action process.

Even the siren’s attack didn’t escape my eyes.

However, I couldn’t even figure out what kind of attack this guy was attacking.

This Marcus… You can’t even properly grasp the student’s attack?

Is it magic? I had never heard of such magic.

Alternately…….

I was going to finish today’s class by analyzing Dalian and explaining it to the freshmen, but now…….

This is true. Am I still lacking?

Dia’s word, ‘that person’, bothered me too much.

Because of this, I wanted to finish the sparring quickly, so I threw it away.

The problem is that I won too easily because I used it.

Other students might ignore Dia with this.

If so…… I have to protect

After the sparring ended so badly, Marcus ended his lessons.

Probably because there is no reason to explain anything in Dalian.

The ‘Military Self-defense’ class ended at the point where Simon mistook my alter ego for the dragon’s Polymorph.

Thanks to that, I was quickly released from class and immediately returned to my dormitory room.

Sorry Dia!

I’ll see you later and apologize!

I have something important right now.

“Huh? What. Why did you come so soon Didn’t you come in the evening?”

When I opened the door, Io, who was cleaning, greeted me.

After today’s ‘Military Self-defense’ class, I was going to go to the orientation for another class, but… Because that doesn’t matter now.

“I have a little work. Please get out of my room I have work to do.”

“Now? …… Okay. If I ask you to tell me the reason anyway, you won’t tell me?”

She had a questioning expression on her face. Nevertheless, she opened the door to her maid’s room and went into her own room.

Left alone in the room, I took out the communication orb direct to Lydia from subspace and activated it.

“Lord, Lord? Did you call, Lord!”

“Long time no see, Lydia.”

I didn’t want to be suspicious of her, so I contacted her only through letters and avoided meeting her in person or communicating directly like this….

I can’t help it because I’m in a hurry right now.

“I have something to ask of you, so I contacted you like this.”

“Boo, please! Just say the word, Lord! I will do anything!”

“I want you to recognize a person. That person…….”

* * *

The body I possess is Luke Persleyno.

Unlike his sisters, he was a frail boy with no talent at all.

That doesn’t mean he’s talented in magic, but incompetence itself.

The only thing worth looking at is his handsome appearance?

Since he is the younger brother of Siren and Meiru, who were popular characters in their own way, one of his appearances could be said to be outstanding.

The problem was that this [Deus Ex Machina] Where I am now is a world ruled by armed force, with supernatural powers and mysteries everywhere.

No matter how good your appearance is, no matter how high your status is, if you don’t have force, it’s a place where you don’t know what kind of disaster you’ll suddenly face.

Especially at the beginning of the main story, considering that the forces of ‘chaos’ would rampage, the importance of military power had to be the highest for me.

Fortunately, I became possessed at a young age and had more than 10 years of time, and I tried to make the most of that time.

As a possessor, the strength I have in this world, and the asymmetric power that sets me apart from others, is information.

I don’t know all the information because it’s a deceased person, but I know a lot of information about the hidden pieces in [Deus Ex Machina], So I tried to get such a chance or artifact.

Having barely been allowed by my father, I worked hard with Hans and collected such opportunities.

I had no experience in this field, so there were many trials and errors in the beginning, such as the mercenaries betraying me, but after the know-how accumulated, I was able to easily collect hidden pieces.

First of all, the most obtained was the elixir.

In [Deus Ex Machina], I collected and ate items that raised the character’s stats through purchase with the money Lydia sent or excavation of ruins.

Through this, my physical ability has grown to that of a knight, and my magical power has reached that of a great wizard.

The next thing I focused on was Artifact.

No matter how good your physical ability was, it was inefficient to fight with your body unless your swordsmanship skills were very poor. However, the ability to handle this body’s magical power was also not good, so the solution I found was special artifacts.

There is a big difference between the artifacts of the present age and the forgotten artifacts of the ancient age.

Artifacts of the present era are made for incompetent people who cannot use supernatural powers. For this reason, artifacts of the present era have limited power and range of usable abilities, instead of exerting their abilities through the magic built into the artifacts.

On the other hand, ancient artifacts excavated through ruins were not made for that purpose, so they consume the user’s mana and therefore enable powerful and wide-ranging abilities.

Humans in ancient times needed these artifacts because they couldn’t learn swordsmanship or magic even if they had a lot of magical power. It is no longer needed

If you have magic enough to use an ancient artifact, you must already have excellent swordsmanship or magic skills.

Due to these characteristics, most ancient artifacts, except for a few cases, are not popular with modern humans. In some cases, they were even treated as useless antiques, and because of this, the excavation of ruins was not carried out properly because the profits were low compared to the cost of excavation. Unlike me, the general public doesn’t even know where the ruins are.

Thanks to that, I was able to easily obtain ancient artifacts.

Rather, the mercenaries who tried to rob me of artifacts were a peculiar case. Maybe it’s because they’re so stupid that they can’t even tell the difference between an artifact and an ancient artifact.

The existence of mage towers and guilds brought uniformity in the magic system and swordsmanship system, and many types of magic and swordsmanship were forgotten.

Ancient artifacts often contain such forgotten abilities, and this part was of great help to me.

For me, the only ability I had was an ambiguous gift that I couldn’t use at will, and the Ancient Artifact was a very effective means of enhancing my combat power.

The fact that ancient artifacts provide forgotten supernatural abilities comes to light in the second part of [Deus Ex Machina], And the value of ancient artifacts across the continent soars.

Right now, the value is at a rock bottom.

During his journey with Hans, he went through several practical battles and even learned how to use artifacts effectively.

And some artifacts that didn’t suit me were either stored in a corner of my room or sold.

The sword Dia used, the mermaid Haup’s sword, ‘Huffness’ is one of those swords.

Since it is an ancient artifact, it requires magic from the user, but it is a sword that allows you to summon and handle this amount of water in a place where there is no water.

Unlike other artifacts, it was in demand because it was good for swordsmen to use.

So I sold it at an auction house because I wanted to exchange it for money…….

I was wondering why Dia had it…….

I can’t believe Lydia gave it to me.

I never really thought of this.
