Except for Level E and F, the skill descriptions of which were vague, all grade effects were concentrated on the ‘student.’

She preferred being called a teacher, but from a third party’s perspective, based on the skills she had, she was just a glorified stalker.

Regardless, it wasn’t a skill I could use myself.

Should I say that it was more like sharing?

I could now view the information that auntie would see and hear with her administrator skill, ‘Teacher.’

For example:

‘Damn it! As I was revived, my precious level and skill level dropped… Kang Han-soo! How dare he interrupt me while I was preparing for a journey! I’ll make you kneel at my feet! Just wait!’

Somewhere in the Southern Continent, I heard Luke’s thoughts as he was resurrected.

It wasn’t just that ambitious friend.

I clearly identified all the heroes as if surveillance cameras were attached around the 505 heroes scattered across the Fantasy Continent.

Of course, it was too much to observe all of them simultaneously, just like how there were a limited number of channels that one could focus on even if they put 10 TV sets in front of them and turned them all on.

It was too much for me to observe hundreds at the same time.

But it didn’t matter.

What was I supposed to do with what the worthless heroes were doing?

The way they went into the bushes and wiped their asses with leaves after ‘pooping’ during an adventure with a colleague they liked. It was a fantasy adventure that wasn’t as beautiful and majestic as in novels and cartoons in the first place.

Besides…

“I don’t expect them to complete the subjugation instead.”

Some heroes were still being harassed by goblins, while others ran away in love even though they just made eye contact with natives.

Even the heroes who were presumed to be in the top ranks weren’t reliable…

And overall, they liked to play.

Even if there were a crisis in the Fantasy World, they would laugh, talk, and enjoy their lives since that was their mindset.

Currently, about 400 people were resting or dating.

Statistically, I concluded that heroes spent 80 percent of their days fooling around!

Moreover, they’re the heroes-

“hero, what do you want to do? You can stay here for a few more days and think of this place like your own home, or you can go out right now and talk with Illeana about your plans. Of course, if you choose the latter, I will accompany you in the shadows without my daughter knowing. Ah! And please call me Shadow. Don’t give me strange names.”

I was going to call her Assassin E in the future, but my mother-in-law predicted my next move and beat me to it.

Since she was an assassin hiding in the shadows, I should call her Shadow A!

That was easy to remember.

“Shadow A.”

“Just call me Shadow.”

“I can’t tell the difference between your shadow and mine. Shadow A.”

“That’s… Okay.”

“Before anything, give me the Relics of Chaos.”

It wouldn’t be too late to decide whether to leave or not after that.

“You can see the records of the relics, can’t you?”

“Right. So you know about that, huh? Ah! And is it true that I can get out of this place by collecting the Relics of Chaos?”

“It’s true. In theory.”

“What? That remark indicates the possibility of it failing!”

“Still, it can’t be helped. I’ve never used it before, after all. However, the power of Brave capable of temporarily disabling the system will certainly allow you to escape from this training ground. There is already precedent.”

After her explanation, Shadow A reached into the air, summoned the Relic of Chaos, and politely handed it over to me.

It was a portable hand mirror.

“That’s very sturdy. The First Hero made it for his wife, who was thorough in her self-maintenance due to her pride as the great beauty who claimed to be the best on the continent. The advantage is that it can be summoned anytime, anywhere, and never be lost. Like this.”

Pop!

The hand mirror that Shadow A intentionally dropped disappeared like a mirage just before it hit the ground.

Pop!

It then reappeared on her palm.

“I know exactly what it is.”

It was useless for me since I was indifferent to my appearance, but I wasn’t disappointed.

The function wouldn’t end there, after all.

Security devices were often found in magic tools sold at street vendors. It was too much to call it a relic.

“Your guess is correct. Mirrors are reflective. This hand mirror ricochets all kinds of attribute attacks except physical force. The owner didn’t make good use of it, though.”

“Really?”

I took over the hand mirror.

I saw the first owner, a great beauty, in it.

*

She was a beautiful woman with a clear body line.

Her face was framed by dark brown hair, which reminded me of the goddess of fertility. Her eyes, nose, mouth, and ears were all works of art.

She would have been prettier with a big smile, but unfortunately, she just stood there expressionlessly in front of her husband.

I wasn’t surprised. She was already dead, after all.

“H-how…”

Senior 1, who headed down like a sinner in front of his wife, couldn’t speak properly.

“If you’re asking when and how she was murdered, unfortunately, I don’t know. Humans and vampires look alike, but they are completely different creatures. If she had been an elf, I could have given a close guess. What about you? You specialize in assassinations, don’t you?”

“I also… I am very sorry, Hero.”

Behind Senior 1 were Elfheim and Shadow A.

It was unclear when the memory of the Relic was. The elf royal family, who lived forever, couldn’t help since they didn’t grow old, and the First Hero with abilities close to God was no different.

However, I could guess from his facial expression.

He had a youth-like face that hadn’t yet been entrenched in society.

He was unaware that the death of the beautiful woman was just a prelude to the messed-up fantasy family.

“I really didn’t know.”

“I guess so.”

“I never thought she’d be killed here since this completely blocked external intrusions… I never imagined that my wife, who walks in the garden every morning like the goddess of flowers, would be murdered…”

“I understand. After all, I saw her every morning.”

“I was delighted and relieved that King Elfheim, busy with official duties, has been able to wake up regularly in recent months. But now, after hearing the reason, I feel betrayed.”

The three continued their conversation in a low tone.

Meanwhile…

“Can we track down the culprit?”

Senior 1 asked a question while looking at the pitiful Elf King with eyes befitting a righteous hero.

An answer was provided immediately.

“It won’t be hard to track them. After all, the culprit must still be here.”

“… It can’t be.”

“It can be so, my friend. I’m sorry, but the culprit who killed her lives here with us, smiling nonchalantly.”

“Elfheim. That doesn’t make sense.”

“It does.”

After arguing for a long time over whether the killer was an insider or an outsider, the two men soon shut their mouths.

After all, the answer was already decided from the beginning.

He just didn’t want to admit it.

“Did one of my kind-hearted wives do this? They’ve been adventuring together like real sisters until recently. I can’t believe it…”

“Calm down, my friend. For now, finding the culprit should be our priority. Well, it’s a pain in the ass that our colleagues have great abilities. There are more than 20 necromancers who can easily manipulate corpses while avoiding our eyes. Even this won’t help much if they’ve been hiding their abilities…Hmm? She held onto it even in death, huh?”

Elfheim, who was observing the dead woman’s body, pointed to a hand mirror.

It was tightly held in her hand.

Senior 1 answered with his head down like a sinner.

“I gave it to her as a gift. It looks like an ordinary hand mirror, but it has the property of deflecting all kinds of properties except physical attacks. With her extremely high flexibility and agility, I thought it was a good fit for her, who could dodge all physical attacks…”

“That’s it!”

“Elfheim?”

“There are no minor injuries on her body. And the hand mirror is summoned. That means that they were so close that she didn’t even have time to defend herself with the hand mirror. Our murderer might just be a wizard capable of physical combat. There are still gaps to fill in, but we’ll have a few suspects if we narrow it down like this. What do you think?”

… Was he the same person as the unfortunate Elf King I knew?

His eyes twinkled as brightly as he looked at the swaying breasts of a human woman.

Senior 1 answered.

“Stop it.”

“My friend?”

“I don’t want to doubt my wives. And don’t forget. If we narrow down the suspects in that way, you too will be included on the list.”

“… Right. I see what you mean.”

“I’m sorry, Elfheim. I didn’t mean it that way.”

“I know. We’ve spent a lot of time together, do you think I can’t even tell the difference? It means you don’t want to doubt your family. It’s the same for me, my hero friend. Rest until her funeral. I swear upon my name that I will organize it well.”

“Then please take care of it. Right now, it’s too hard for me…”

Senior 1 shrugged and left. Only the Elf King, who was pretending not to be unfortunate, and Shadow A were in the room now.

Of course, the beautiful woman’s body was still there.

“Your Majesty, what would you do?”

“The hero who can slice the planet like a potato told us not to pursue the culprit, so we should give up. But for the safety of our family and our people, I plan to find out who it is.”

“I am your shadow. I will follow any order, but is it possible to track them without a clue?”

“If a clue is what we need, then there’s one right here.”

“The hand mirror…?”

The scene changed as the field of vision rippled.

I saw the Elf King lying comfortably on the garden bench with a lap pillow from Shadow A.

However, the brilliance he showed a while ago could not be found, and he had the usual regretful expression and gaze.

In his hand was the Relic in question.

“Ugh… Humans become a more superior race the more I look at them. Why did God abandon elves and favor only humans?”

“… Your Majesty, with all due respect, are you sure you’re investigating?”

“Of course. Can’t you see?”

“I don’t know because I am so worried about it. After all, in my eyes, I only see Your Majesty admiring the superior body of married human women all day long.”

“There’s a thorn in your words.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Well, jealousy is also a way of expressing love. I love you as well.”

“Your Majesty Elfheim…”

“I just hope that love doesn’t go too far like that woman.”

The unfortunate Elf King looked into the hand mirror, seriousness evident in his face.

However, the mirror’s reflection changed depending on the angle, so I didn’t know exactly who he was looking at.

*

‘… Hmm? Don’t tell me that’s the end of it?’

“Shadow A, who was the culprit?”

What a load of sh*t!

Even if punishing the murderer wouldn’t be a pleasant scene, wasn’t it sensible to reveal who it is?

However, the record ended without showing the ending.

“Only His Majesty Elfheim, the wisest elf in the world, knows. I watched the whole investigation as his shadow, but I couldn’t even guess their identity even in the end.”

“… All of them.”

“Pardon?”

“If aiding and abetting were established, all the women in the garden at that time are the culprits.”

“What do you mean…”

“I don’t know either. I just got that feeling from the revelation of the universe.”

In addition to the hand mirror, two more Relics of Chaos were kept in Shadow A’s house, both also containing only gloomy content.

How the hell were the senior’s latter years…?

There wasn’t much information available.

? Confusion: I hear a lot of shocking stories.

‘My most beautiful secret friend in the world, please keep it a secret!’

? Cuteness: Cadet Kang Han-soo’s dark side is clearly visible, but there is a saying that praise makes even the devil dance. However, I hope you compliment me sincerely next time. Fufu!

‘Sincerely? Say something like that after showing your face, Miss Trainee Teacher, why don’t you?!’

It was only for a moment.

But it was clearly imprinted in my head. The face of a third party who wasn’t here was briefly reflected in the hand mirror.

? Question: What’s going on all of a sudden?

I didn’t answer Miss Trainee Teacher’s question. No, I couldn’t. There was only one word in my head at that moment.

“Awesome…”

The world wasn’t just full of fraud and hoaxes.
