41 – Three of Us (3)
I swung the caliper, exploding the prons I had gathered all at once.
A sound was heard and the monster’s stomach flipped over. The guy let out a horrible scream and rolled half a circle.
“You dare touch Rustilla?”
She should never die like Lu Stila. Without her talent, this universe would be doomed.
Luckily, Rustilla was still alive.
“Idel!”
“Are you okay?”
“Now is not the time to worry about me!”
I know.
I put my weight on the caliper.
It may be insignificant compared to the monster’s size, but what I was aiming for was somewhere else.
The ‘Caliper of Wisdom’ is a tool created by foreign media Cartesia.
Its first function is length measurement at the elementary particle level, and its second function is damage to the incarnate body.
“Keeek!”
It inflicts physical damage to even the toughest and most powerful opponent.
But this alone is not enough.
Global Park requests additional attacks from Cartesia in exchange for Fron.
[“That’s unpleasant. “You appear in front of me without even knowing the subject.”]
Foreign media groups themselves into groups, and with the exception of this group, they do not get along very well with the rest.
The incarnation we are currently dealing with is a member of Maxwell’s Corps.
On the other hand, Cartesia belongs to the Descartes Legion.
Take advantage of the relationship between the two. To put it simply, it was like the shrimp benefited from the whale fight.
In the aftermath, Zernia fainted, foaming at her mouth, but it probably wouldn’t be a big problem for her.
I pulled on the caliper. My stomach split open and my eyeballs burst out like intestines.
[“This, this bastard, porridge, yeo, abandon, gu, da, ah…” !”]
It doesn’t stop here.
Put the outer jaw deeper.
A nicotine-like substance pours out like cuttlefish ink.
[“Aak, ugh, billion.”]
The skills of foreigners belonging to the Descartes Corps destroy the mind, not the body. The target does not only include humans. Anything can be manipulated if it has nerve cells or similar structures.
Of course.
Any intelligence that knows how to have a conversation will suffer unconditional damage.
The head of the incarnation began to melt like lava.
[“Ugh, ugh, ugh.”]
At first, the language system was destroyed.
“Kruk, keuk.”
Even the way of thinking has collapsed.
Thump, thump.
In the end, the circuit is damaged to the point where even simple stimulation and response are not possible.
It was clear that my mind had been attacked, but my body was melting.
As soon as his movements slowed down, I countersummoned Caliper.
Now all that’s left is to save Rustilla and Zernia.
I first extended my hand to Lu Stila, who was far away.
“Rustilla!”
My and Rustilla’s hands were intertwined. I quickly hugged Rustilla. Then, Zernia, who had fainted, was also pulled in.
Thanks to Zernya’s small size, it was not difficult for her to cover two girls at the same time.
“Aidel, wait a minute…” !”
It was then.
The lifeless monster stumbled and fell.
Not the other side, but in the direction where the cliff is located.
“…… Ah.”
Sensation of the body floating.
If you criticize me, you will die.
I had that thought.
I stepped on the monster and struggled as much as I could. To the land, to the land. You have to climb up the cliff. If you make even the slightest mistake here, all three of you will die. My heart was heavy.
The more I struggle, the more helpless I feel.
The center of gravity was already sticking out of the ground, and the body was about to fall down.
As a final struggle, I took out the calipers.
[— There are no prons left.]
[— There are no prons left.]
[— There are no prons left.]
[— No prons left!]
[— There are no prons left!]
[— Huh? What are you going to do? What are you going to do with human subjects without paying anything?]
[— Stop thinking that I’m your ally just because I’m in your head, kid.]
Ahahahaha-!!
“Damn….”
“… Idel! Clench your teeth and pull your chin down!”
“What?”
“Quickly!!”
Following Rustilla’s words, I gritted my teeth and lowered my head as much as possible. From the looks of it, Rustilla was in the same posture.
In the end, our final struggle was in vain, and we experienced free fall.
1 Second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds.
I counted the time.
4 Seconds, 5 seconds, 6 seconds.
Falling.
7 Seconds, 8 seconds, 9 seconds.
I suddenly regret it.
10 Seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds.
Everything is my pride. It was a mistake. There must have been a better way, a better way to do it than this.
The arrogance of knowing the original work to some extent drove me to my death. I was just an ordinary human being, not the main character of a web novel.
Ah.
It would have been nice if I had been able to get at least a doctoral degree….
After those thoughts, my vision went black.

[— Using the ‘Caliper of Wisdom’, you have defeated the B-class incarnation ‘Lenaniai’!]
[— 25,000 Prons were obtained as a reward!]

46 Class A prosecutors died.
1 S-class swordsman died.
In addition, about 190 prosecutors and security personnel hired for safety were transported to hospitals with moderate or minor injuries.
70% Of the northwest area of the Dodeka Forest was destroyed, and among the students there were two seriously injured and eight lightly injured.
The identity of the monster that appeared in the area is still unknown.
The teachers who heard the interim report had sad faces.
“… “It’s fortunate that no students died.”
” No, there are three missing people. “We cannot say that there are no deaths because we do not know whether they are alive or dead.”
“Damn it….”
Teachers had to worry about two things from now on.
The first thing is that we have to think about how to announce the results of the relocation exam.
The second was whether what had just happened should be disclosed to the outside world.
The second was especially problematic.
“Let us handle it transparently.”
“No. “This won’t just go away.”
“It is almost certain that it was done by foreign media, so if you immediately report it to the government, you can avoid dismissal.”
“You’re saying that because you don’t know much.”
“My conscience cannot bear it. “I vote for clarity.”
“Are you all excited to take off your clothes? “If I get kicked out of this school, I won’t have anywhere to go!”
Opinions were not easily narrowed down even among teachers.
At that time, one of the surviving Class A prosecutors came in and shouted.
“Lotus grade manager! “One of the girls wants to let her see the teachers!”
“Who are you?”
“I am a girl with white hair and golden eyes. They call themselves Seti von Adelbein Rhineland…….”
“Ha!”
It’s over.
“Adelbein, Rhineland… ?”
“A girl who uses both families’ last names?”
“Were there any children born between the two families?”
The 2nd grade teachers who joined after being informed of the incident had no choice but to look dumbfounded because they knew nothing.
“There is one new student enrolled this time.”
Kendra kindly explained to them. She is said to be a gifted daughter of Rhineland’s direct lineage and Adelwein’s collateral lineage.
“What should I do? Should I ask you to come in?”
“Wait a minute….”
The grade director thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“Ask them to come in.”
Soon, the door opened and a girl with white hair came in.
The face was gaunt, like a person who had been injured, and there was not even a trace of intelligence in the hollow golden eyes.
“… “I can’t see you and her sister.”
The girl opened her mouth with difficulty.
“One is Eidel von Rhineland. The other one is Rustilla Kersil. It’s that kind of name….”
“Those two people are still missing.”
From noble mtl dot com
As Teacher Karlen answered with a sigh, the teachers around her nudged her.
“Be careful… teacher!”
“… Reality is reality. “You have to tell me.”
Carlen was one of the teachers who voted in favor of disclosing this incident to the public.
Therefore, he was trying to convey the truth to the girl without any additions or omissions.
“Based on the circumstances, it looks like he fell from a cliff in the northwest along with a monster, and we are currently searching that area.”
“Now… Two hours have passed since it happened. “Why aren’t there any reports?”
“Originally, that place wasn’t meant to be used as an exam room. The Dodeka Forest itself is inherently a large place, so I don’t know how long it will take to find it.”
Then the girl looked like she was going to cry.
She frowned and bit her mouth.
“Hey, you shouldn’t just talk like that.”
Kendra slapped Carl Ren on the back of the head and then walked over to the tearful girl and got down on her knees.
“A report came in that there was a lake below. And besides! They said that although the slope is steep, the cliff itself is not high. “If she knew how to swim, she would be found quickly.”
“That idiot can’t swim…” .”
“… ….”
Kendra’s mouth fell shut.
Until the positive results came out, no words could comfort the girl.
All she had to do was hug him, console him, and let him go.
But the girl, Seti, wanted to remain where the teachers were.
Her second grade teachers and her conservative first grade teachers stared at her warily as she gulped and swallowed her saliva.
Kendra watched them and gave Seti some of her cocoa.
It was already night outside, and it was starting to rain.
Shoo!
The rain is so heavy that helicopters cannot fly.
“This is bad news.”
The sound of teeth grinding together.
It was the sound Seti made.
My parents didn’t care about me, and my half-siblings kept their distance or treated me harshly.
In elementary and middle school, they were treated as flowers on a cliff just because their families were high.
For a girl who had no one to open up to, losing Lu Stila meant her death.
Here….
“Oppa.”
Third half-siblings.
Just a few months ago, I found myself worrying about the son of a b*tch who I wanted to kill the most.
It was strange.
It was also disappointing. I felt like I was going to lose my mind.
One person. No, if you lose both of them, how will you live in the future?
I didn’t even want to imagine it. I wanted to avoid it. I didn’t want to go through something like that.
But for now, I just hoped the rain would stop.
