I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

331.Quartz Family Legacy (4)

“It’s an uninhabited island… Hmm. It’s one of the islands owned by the Quartz family. Literally escaping from there and reaching the continent is the Quartz family’s coming-of-age ceremony. But you… Have been on a deserted island for too long.

10 years was the first time we saw each other. How did you come up with the idea of living there for 10 years? Even though the island was adjusted so that the passage of time did not exist, 10 years was too long.”

Edmund looked at me as if he were seeing a strange creature. Does this mean that even to this monster, I looked strange? The manager, who told me that I had been voyeurizing life on a deserted island for 10 years, pressed me for an answer.

At his urging, I immediately opened my mouth and answered.

“As I lived, I survived.”

“Did you intend to live there your whole life?”

“It wasn’t until 10 years later that I realized where I had landed. “If I hadn’t met Karina, I might still be living on a deserted island.”

“Originally, the coming-of-age ceremony would have been held regardless of whether the owner of the body was dead or alive. Since he wasn’t that talented anyway, I thought he wouldn’t pass the coming-of-age ceremony… But you were different. “I never thought the guy with the worst abilities would be the only survivor.”

“Were there many people other than me who had a coming-of-age ceremony at the same time?”

“There were roughly thirty people. The result was… Most of them died.”

“The fact that you called me ‘the worst’ makes me sound like other guys had better abilities than me.”

“That’s right. It’s very powerful compared to its humble ability to develop survival skills. Time manipulation, space movement, telekinesis, ignition, super strength…”

To be honest, there are only good things. Do the descendants of the Quartz family possess at least one fraudulent ability?

But why on earth am I given survival skills and the crafting skills to barely make a cut stone tool in the beginning?

I also wanted to have the ability to cheat…

If you were possessed, why not let them suck honey!

“Don’t look upset. “They all died without even being able to pass the coming-of-age ceremony.”

“Can you tell me how it happened?”

“Having great strength doesn’t necessarily mean you can survive.”

It’s not wrong, but… It was something I couldn’t understand after going through all sorts of hardships for 10 years.

“I don’t understand how people with such great abilities can’t get off that deserted island. As long as you use your ability to stop time well, you don’t have to worry about your diet.”

“If time is stopped, will the swallowed mushroom come back?”

…He died of poisoning.

“What about spatial movement?”

“He was overconfident in his abilities and used them recklessly, but he was bitten by a snake and died.”

“Then what about telekinesis?”

“The Hydra poured out her venom and crushed her body. No matter how strong your telekinetic powers are, you cannot withstand the monster’s determination to crush you.”

…They were only talented but lacking in substance.

“Let’s skip that story. I think I know roughly what happened.

So the second question is, why on earth are you hiding that information? “It took me nearly a year and a half to get general information about Quartz, so why bother hiding it like this?”

He touched his chin in thought and answered my question as if it was no big deal.

“It’s because there are more than one b*stard who wants to kill us. Isn’t security supposed to be thorough? Even if you found out, it’s not like you can come here anyway.”

…That’s right.

If they could unilaterally decide how to get there, no matter what I did, I wouldn’t have been able to come here.

“And you were so weak in the past. “I thought I would die trying to catch Harpas, let alone the demon dragon, but I had a lot of fun cooking that guy.”

Did you disguise yourself as Harpas because that scene was impressive?

“And even the demon dragon was taken care of in an instant. Now there will be no one stronger than you on this continent. So, in fact, you, who are not from the Quartz family, are entitled to receive the inheritance.”

Edmund, who brought up the story of miscarriage, looked somewhat relieved. Are you that happy that you have someone to inherit your inheritance from?

I feel a little uneasy.

“If I pass the final test and receive the inheritance, I will be able to compete with the foreign gods.”

“…Can’t someone from the Quartz family handle it themselves?”

Why me?

From what I’ve heard, it seems like there aren’t just a few people who like quartz.

“If we go out in the open, they will invade over there too. There are more than one person who has a grudge against us. But if you go out alone, we have something to say. “It’s just one person’s deviation.”

“I don’t know if I’ll be fooled by those words.”

“The war against God is ultimately justifiable. There aren’t many foreign forces trying to invade this world anyway, so if we just deal with them, Kalon will restore its borders on its own. “We are renters, and he is the manager of this world.”

Looking at what he was saying, it seemed like he had some connection to Calon. Well, if it wasn’t related to him, it would have been strange.

Based on the setting, he is currently close to the only god, and in reality, he is almost like that.

“I understand roughly. So, can you tell me what a legacy is?”

“It is to receive his protection.”

Do you call that a miscarriage? Well, whether it be the Phoenix or the World Tree, divine protection usually grants tremendous power, so it wasn’t that strange.

“There will only be three blessings.”

“Three. An unprecedented successor will be born.”

“Has something like this never happened before?”

“If you receive just one, you will leave your name in history, but three? “Your name will forever be on the lips of people on the continent.”

Is that enough?

Actually, that’s true. Because we have reached unexplored territory.

“Anyway, I understand that receiving that blessing is a legacy. Can you tell me what the blessing is?”

“You just have to experience it yourself.”

After answering my question vaguely, he got up and walked towards the door.

“Follow me. “I will have to face the family members before taking the final test.”

I don’t really feel like it.

I didn’t necessarily want to meet him since he said from the beginning that there were no normal people, but that didn’t mean I could avoid seeing his face his at all. I had no choice but to follow him.

——————

How long did I walk down the deserted hallway? I felt uncomfortable in the hallway that seemed to never end.

Why is there no end? This mansion is big, but not this big?

“The hallway seems endless.”

Edmund answered my question by continuing to walk forward.

“You are my first friend. Rona. “This man is the heir who will inherit the legacy.”

“aa-jjajin-wa?”

What, why do I hear voices from above?

I naturally raised my head and looked at the ceiling. And then, I made eye contact with a woman standing upside down and looking down at me, or rather looking up at me.

A pale-skinned woman with black eyes. Her gray hair seemed quite long, but it didn’t flow down.

“Nyeong-an.”

“Are you the only one who came out into the hallway today?”

“Maa?”

“Can you release me? “I have to introduce it to other family members.”

“Okay.”

“Close your eyes for a moment.”

I did as he said and closed my eyes. Then, the feeling of discomfort disappeared from my body as if it was being washed away.

“Now open your eyes.”

As he said, I opened my eyes again. When I opened my eyes, the sight I saw was that of an ordinary hallway. There is a clear end.

“Is the person standing upside down just now a member of the family? “It’s fascinating.”

“That’s right. According to genealogy, she is your great-aunt.”

To be called a great aunt… She seems like Karina’s age.

What is the point of discussing such a thing here?

“I guess I should stop by this room first.”

He knocked on the wall like he did when he stopped by the drawing room. Then, a door of the appropriate size appeared as if drawn on the wall.

“Let me introduce the relatively gentle family members first.”

As he grabbed the doorknob and opened the door, a singing voice came from beyond the door. Beautiful voice. Is this a woman again? I carefully moved my gaze to where the voice came from.

“This person is about the sixteenth cousin of your body.”

I’m just confused myself. It doesn’t make any sense. I looked at the androgynous-looking boy who was singing, or rather, looking at the music box in his hand with his mouth sewn shut.

The boy, whose gender it was difficult to determine, shyly waved his hand when he saw me.

“He says liqueur. He loves singing so much that he sings all day long into the music box into which he has his vocal cords implanted. “

What? Vocal cords were transplanted into a music box?

When I looked at Liqueur at the bizarre explanation, he held the music box out towards me and activated it.

Then, a beautiful voice sang a short greeting by combining letters from the music box.

“Hello~”

“…Nice to meet you.”

This is beyond your imagination, no matter what you think.

I was thrilled to learn that this was only a small part of the Quartz family.
