Another World Awakening Transcendental Create Skill

“Chapter 216: The Sage of the Volcano 3”

Tree papers help people find their place in the world.
It’s how I was able to find such an amazing group of friends.

 

– There are a lot of mysteries surrounding these little boys.
I’m sure you’ve thought about it too.

 

– Well, yeah.

 

No one I’ve asked knows where or how tree papers were created, or why the aptitudes of a person are pictured as a tree.

 

By the way, no one knows how to make them.
There are few of them, and they’re very valuable.

 

A mysterious item that appeared in this world long ago.

 

– We know what they do now, but think about our ancestors.
They see one of these and suddenly a picture of a tree appears.
Not very clear, right?

 

– Right.

 

I don’t even know how people came to understand them.

 

If only the aptitudes could be quantified, or at least made easier to comprehend…

 

– … Wait.

 

– What is it?

 

– Maybe the tree papers were used for a different purpose originally?

 

– Hahaha! You’re a quick one, ey? Come live with me, Ever doesn’t need you.

 

– I’m under the tutelage of a great Grandmaster.
Thank you for the offer.
Besides, you have Regda-san already.

 

– Ah, he’s a brilliant one, but too hard-headed.
Talking to him is as boring as talking to the rocks in this volcano.

 

– …How blunt.

 

– As you can see, I spend all day here researching the people of this country.
They’re all my hostages.

 

– Hostages? That’s a bit-

 

– It’s not an exaggeration.
You’ve seen the birthmark on this country’s citizens, right?

 

– …Yes?

 

– Regda! Can you hear me? Get the ritual ready!

 

I don’t know if Regda heard her or not, but Shamsheel put on her black and red robe.

 

– We’re going somewhere else.
Tell your friends at the summit to go back home.

 

I have no reason to refuse.
I came here looking for information.

 

– Got it.
Mike, can you take care of that?

 

– I can, but where are you going? I don’t want to leave you alone.

 

– What an anxious puppy you are.
Don’t worry, it’s called a ritual but it’s not dangerous at all.
If anything, I’ll be there to protect him.

 

– Grrr…

 

– Hoooh? You wanna fight? Inside my own crater? Are you sure about that?

 

Shamsheel’s fist became red hot like lava.
Regda’s magic was still in effect, and even then I felt like my skin was about to melt.

 

– Haha, I’m joking.
I’ll spare you from the fight.
Though I could use a little puppy as a familiar.
What do you think?

 

– Uuu~ Stop patting my head!

 

– It’s just a little bit of burnt hair.

 

– I don’t want to be bald! Master! Say something!

 

Moments like these make me appreciate the fact that Ever is my Grandmaster.
