Lisanna, a first-year student, was reevaluating the power of magic today.
Skaya’s magic was on a whole different level.
“The world is indeed vast.”
In fact, until now, she had thought that magic wasn’t very useful.
By the time a mage recite the incantation, against people like her they would already be dead.
Of course, famous mages can cast spells almost instantly.
‘But that difference is significant.’
Almost no time is needed.
Ultimately, you have to recite the incantation.
Within that time, someone of a different caliber could strike first or interfere.It’s only natural to think that it’s not very efficient.
Or rather, I also thought that its power wasn’t much different.
‘But that wasn’t the case…’
A while ago, Skaya cast her magic in the blink of an eye.
And with considerable power.
Considering the felt magical power, it was clear that she had reduced its strength.
If she had controlled it to that extent, what if she had used her full power?
-Gulping!
Lisanna swallowed dryly, her face slightly excited as she broke out in a cold sweat.
‘It’s a good thing I came here as the goddess of Battle requested!’
As she thought this, Lisanna walked to attend an external lecture.
-Shiver!
Cold sweat began to run down her spine.
Lisanna felt a sudden chill.
She wondered what it was and looked around.
‘…I’ve never felt this way before.’
She had never felt this way before.
Not even when Kim Soo-yong, the strong one, was trying to stop her and the kid.
As she looked around, wondering what was going on, people gathered in groups of three or five and stared at someone from a distance.
Lisanna followed their gaze.
Soon, a woman who was undoubtedly beautiful and had slightly larger breasts than her came into view.
Lisanna recognized her at once.
She knew that the woman in front of her was no ordinary person.
“But I’ve seen her somewhere before. Who is she?”
As she tilted her head,
[The goddess of Battle says she is the saint of another constellation, named Ange.]
The constellation sent a message.
After reading the message, Lisanna paused for a moment, then widened her eyes.
“Ah, Ange? The one from the fairy tale?”
[The goddess of Battle nods.]
Crazy.
Even if she had lived in a remote village, it was unlikely that she wouldn’t know who Ange was.
After all, she was known as the strongest saint in history.
Aside from that, her achievements were often featured in newspapers and fairy tales.
So, it was impossible not to know about her.
‘But the difference between us saints is so great.’
Well, it was only natural, considering that the saint in front of her was said to be the strongest in history.
‘I didn’t know she was that strong.’
Although she didn’t know how strong Ange was, one thing was certain: she could kill Lisanna in an instant.
Literally, in less than a second.
-Gulping!
Whenever she saw a strong person, she would want to fight them, but she didn’t feel that way about Ange, who was standing in front of her.
Instead, she felt a bit nervous.
She decided to remain quiet during the external lecture she was attending and quickly walked towards her destination.

Gazeel’s class was surprisingly boring.
Or rather, it was boring to me.
“When you strike this part, you shouldn’t hit it too hard. You should strike it with a certain rhythm, reducing the force a bit, to make it more perfect.” ꞦÂ𐌽óBЕṦ
It’s really boring.
Even though Gazeel is demonstrating, I’m not interested at all.
To be honest, I can buy cash items with points, so it’s understandable that I’m not interested.
Of course, unlike me, the students, including Lucy,
“Oh…”
They all exclaimed in admiration.
But what’s so great about it?
As someone who has never done such a thing, I couldn’t understand.
As I was feeling bored inside,
-♬♩♪
The bell rang, signaling the end of class.
The students all sighed in disappointment.
-Ah…
Normally, the class would end here.
However, he seemed to have an attachment to his possessions, as he ignored the bell and continued to work on the item he was making.
Three minutes later,
“Phew!”
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his arm and sighed in relief.
Then he slowly opened his mouth.
“So, let’s end today’s class here. I’ll give this item I made to the student who listened the most attentively.”
Gazeel handed the sharp sword he had made to Lucy.
She held the sword with both hands, her eyes sparkling like a child.
“Yay!”
The students sighed in disappointment, but they didn’t call him a professor because she was so cute.
Thus ended Gazeel’s first lecture.
As the students left the classroom, Gazeel put his belongings into his Space Ring.
‘Hmm. They’re all gone now.’
After confirming that all the students had left the classroom, I approached Gazeel.
He felt my presence and looked at me.
And then.
“So, you had something to talk to me about?”
Gazeel gave a knowing look, as if he had expected this.
“How did you know?”
“Well, during the lecture, I could sense that you didn’t seem as interested as the other students. And also…”
He leisurely raised one corner of his mouth and continued.
“People who have business with me tend to have the same look in their eyes as you.”
“Oh.”
It made perfect sense.
Gazeel, the blacksmith and mage engineer standing in front of me, was known as the best in history.
Therefore, he must have had a lot of visitors.
Most of them were probably nobles.
So it wasn’t surprising that he noticed right away.
There must have been many people who came with the same purpose as me.
“Then…”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t make contracts.”
Gazeel firmly rejected my request even before I finished speaking.
Then he gave a reason for his refusal.
“If I provide weapons to someone through a contract, it’s only natural that the military will be strengthened, and it could even lead to war. How’s that? Is that reason enough?”
“…… Well, that’s certainly true, but…”
You will make a contract with me.
The blacksmith and mage engineer in front of me had an unyielding belief.
His belief was that his weapons should be used to help humanity.
He didn’t want them to be used as tools of war.
Of course, he himself knew that it was almost impossible.
Nevertheless, he had this belief, and there was also a desire that he wanted to fulfill.
That desire was none other than…
-Swoosh!
“What’s that?”
When he saw an unfamiliar object, he had a desire to disassemble and analyze it.
I took out a mana gun from my Space Ring and showed it to Gazeel, who was surprised.
“If you make a contract with me, you can use this weapon freely.”
“……”
Gazeel was drooling at my offer.
His pupils were shaking like an earthquake, indicating that he really wanted to touch the mana gun.
Yes, it must be a difficult decision.
The mana gun in front of him was one of the ancient weapons that had gone missing.
It was also a weapon that could only be obtained with points.
So it’s no wonder that his belief was wavering.
Especially for a blacksmith and mage engineer.
Silence filled the classroom for a moment.
He seemed to be in deep thought, repeatedly opening and closing his lips.
I needed to play hard to get.
“Since you’re not saying anything, it seems you’re not interested. It’s a shame that I was curious to see if the best blacksmith and mage engineer in history would fully understand this weapon.”
As I said this and was about to put the mana gun back into my Apace Ring,
“Wait!”
Gazeel stopped me with a worried look on his face.
He spoke in a slightly trembling voice.
“First, tell me about the contract.”
“……”
He took the bait!
Gazeel was completely hooked.
I slowly explained the terms of the contract to him.
.
.
.
After hearing the terms of the contract, Gazeel fell into a serious dilemma.
‘Hmm. Not bad.’
If the student in front of me had tried to make an unreasonable contract, I would have refused, feeling a little… no, very disappointed.
However, the contract was within the scope of his beliefs.
“Can you keep your promise?”
“Yes, let’s make the contract at the altar.”
“……”
If he said that, it must be true.
If they make a separate contract using sanctity at the altar, they will die if they break their promise.
In other words, he wouldn’t try to cheat on the contract.
“Let me confirm again. The contract is that if I mass-produce the item you give me, you won’t use it for personal gain, right?”
“Yes, and if you run away with my item, you’ll get beaten up.”
“That won’t happen.”
“Ah, yes.”
Gazeel closed his eyes for about ten seconds, deep in thought, and then said,
“Okay. Let’s make the contract. After this external lecture, come to the altar in the royal capital.”
“Yes, I understand.”
With that, Gazeel left the classroom.
He glanced at Kaine’s mana gun.
.
.
.
After my conversation with Gazeel, I headed to the cafeteria for lunch.
After walking for about three minutes, I finally arrived at my destination.
‘Hmm. Where is Skaya?’
Since I was going to attend the Grand Sage’s lecture in the afternoon, it would be more convenient to have lunch together.
That way, I wouldn’t have to walk around alone like an outcast.
I frowned and looked around.
“Kaine-nim, it’s been a while.”
A familiar voice came from behind.
It was none other than Ange.
She stood there with a warm smile, looking at me.
“Yes, it’s been a while… hasn’t it?”
At her call, I turned my head back.
I couldn’t help but tilt my head in confusion.
It was because the two saints behind Ange had black eyes.
What happened to them?
Lisanna’s left eye was bruised, and Rain’s right eye was in the same condition.
‘What’s going on? Did they attend the external lecture?’
As I was trying to understand the situation, Ange gave an awkward smile.
“Ahahaha. These two got into a fight, and when I tried to stop them…”
“Oh… I see.”
[The goddess of Fate says that she can’t help but smile when she sees the faces of these two.]
She must have really disliked them.
Although she had been showing her dislike for them all this time, I knew it.
‘I didn’t expect her to send such a message.’
Would it be my imagination if I pictured the goddess laughing heartily and drinking a beverage, even though she wasn’t physically present?
As expected,
[The goddess of Fate is curious about the expressions of the other constellations~ Ah, the drink tastes good~]
She never fails to meet my expectations.
At this point, I can’t help but wonder if this goddess is truly a transcendent being.
As I was sighing inside,
Perhaps because Lisanna didn’t know about my relationship with Ange,
“Honey♥ What are you going to eat for lunch?”
She dropped a bomb in front of Ange, speaking in a cute, affectionate tone.
