“Now then, what will Heize-kun say at the crossroads, living or dying?”
squeaky-
health room.
Tree roots slowly appearing in the mere place of an ordinary health room.
Each of them moved by the power of Walpurgis du Peña had transcendental strength.
‘Although there was a history of tearing it off once, it was eventful. not twice If you get caught one more time, then you will really die.’
No Natasha here, me and Walpurgis.
There were only two.
In other words, if you make a mistake in a word, there is nothing strange about it, even if the inside of your brain is messed up as it is.
But I was confident.
“I am naturally incapable of collecting mana.”
“….okay?”
My peculiar constitution and ‘restriction’, mana extinction.
I thought that that would stimulate Walpurgis’ curiosity, and I thought-
“It’s funny, you knew you didn’t have mana, but you’re saying you’re born with no mana at all?”
It fit nicely.

Just by looking at the figure of Walpurgis, who gently moves the roots of a tree with a smile full of joy, you can tell that my plan has been somewhat successful.
Of course, it was creepy to see the roots of a tree, much thicker than a muscular forearm, moving flexibly, but he did not reveal it.
‘Never be dragged. equal relationship. At least that’s what you should make.’
If you take the initiative, you can’t take it again.
And if he gave Walpurgis the initiative, it was obvious that he would become a lab rat.
“Yes, that’s why I need the power of the former Grand Witch and the first witch, Walpurgis.”
“Are you sure you know about me? Heh, did you mean that you passed out and entered the health room?”
….it was just a shock and fainting.
I did not dare to refute the words of Walpurgis, who misunderstood me for the good.
As I said before, there was no reason for me to correct the misunderstanding for the better.
At any rate, Walpurgis snapped his finger at my gaze, looking at him calmly.
“coffee? car? What do you like?”
Apparently, the operation to attract Walpurgis’ interest seemed to have been successful.
In an instant, the roots of the trees turned into tables and chairs, and I responded calmly to Walpurgis’ words, suggesting that I drink.
“…water is enough. Clean water with nothing in it.”
“Did you think I was going to get some medicine?”
“Would you like me to make an oath of mana in the name of the witch?”
“…a glass of clean water? I will bring it to you soon.”
Damn, were you really trying to do drugs?
There was a minor (?) happening, but Walpurgis came back with a cup of clean water for himself and a cup of clean water to drink, and put a glass of water in front of me with a smile.
Click-
With the sound of coffee cups being placed on the table.
“Would you like to talk in detail? Heize-kun?”
“…I don’t know the details – but I’ll tell you everything I know.”
“Not bad. But there shouldn’t be anything to hide~”
“….Sure.”
A conversation began as if crossing a single-line bridge on a cliff.
*
“Is it a restriction? It’s like God’s or God’s restrictions…. There’s no real answer to this? Even though I am a great witch, I am not omnipotent.”
After hearing all the stories, Walpurgis shook his head.
Of course, I didn’t really say everything.
If I tell you all about the threat she made, it will become a rope to strangle me.
It was because Walpurgis’ reaction to hearing stories about the Earth or that this is the world in a game was not expected at all.
Walpurgis didn’t question whether the things I had said in the first place were enough.
I just shook my head and fell asleep.
“So you’re saying that the restrictions placed on me can’t be lifted?”
“It can’t be solved… it can’t be.”
Damn, do I have to live with no mana in the end?
I’m starting to worry a lot about whether I’ll be able to survive in this damn world with no mana’s body, only strong.
‘If this happens, I have to act as a pillar west…’
When my strength is insufficient, I think that I will have to survive by clinging to the powerful girls who are overflowing with the world in this game.
Walpurgis said with a smirk.
“Instead, we can’t remove the constraint, but we can find a way to ease it.”
“…there is no way to die.”
“Honestly, even with the superpowers I showed you earlier, it would not be enough to live in the world.”
“I don’t want to be a strong idiot. How can you survive in a harsh world without mana?”
“…do you know something?”
It’s a pretty peaceful time right now, but I know that the end of this era is near.

Just a few months from now, an incident will happen, and the way to prepare for it is the Walpurgis in front of you.
In any case, I shrugged my shoulders at Walpurgis’ gaze staring at me, and turned away.
“Please. You can’t even win against a knight without mana. And if I had mana, the roots would have been torn more easily.”
“…Heh, even if they had mana, they wouldn’t tear easily, right?”
I nodded my head without saying a word at her answer, full of pride for the tree roots she had created with her magic.
‘Really, even if I had mana, at least F or E. Even if I strengthened my body that much, I wouldn’t be able to get as much strength as I would.’
Walpurgis du Peña.
Contrary to her childish appearance, she is a great witch who has lived for hundreds of years.
The tree roots that she gently controls were so great that even a few knights could not properly handle even one.
With a body that was only strengthened with mana from F to E, it was impossible to rip the roots of a tree to pieces like before.
At least, in order to get a force equivalent to S-class in the current strength, it was at least C to B.
Still, considering that my strength is stronger than the strength of the same grade, others say that I need B to A mana.
‘Because she’s a really great witch.’
Even in the game, like Deus Ex Machina, she was always there to save the hero Natasha and her companions in moments of crisis, but in reality, there is no Munchkin like that.
Anyway, I nodded my head as I finished speaking.
“Let’s make it a mutually beneficial relationship going forward. By lifting the restrictions placed on me, Walpurgi-sama by experimenting on my body.”
“…I think I’m at a huge loss?”
It was the exact opposite of Peña, the health teacher during the day, but I didn’t really care.
‘That’s more familiar to me.’
Although I knew the appearance of the public health teacher Peña, she was considered a short-term event NPC, and in the first place, the protagonist with the talent of a hero was injured and there was not much situation to go to the infirmary.
Except for the unavoidable raid event where friends around you get hurt.
So I reached out my hand while looking at the old witch, who was not in her age, pounding the floor of the infirmary with her feet while puffing up her cheeks in the form of a child in front of her eyes.
“Then please take care of me, Walpurgis-sama.”
“…don’t I have a doctor?”
“Are you going to do it? Because you can’t stand your questions. It seems that you are still thinking in your head how to get rid of the restrictions placed on me… What will happen if I, who is the party, do not cooperate with the experiment?”
“…you can catch it by force.”
Actually, this part was dangerous.
If you ask if Walpurgis is on the side of mankind, but he is a good person, that’s not the case.
but-
“I’m not going to just stand still.”
“That power is a real foul! What’s so strong about not having mana!”
As he clenched his fists and smiled brightly, Walpurgis couldn’t contain his anger and screamed.
It was understandable that Walpurgis, who had a childish personality, was doing that because nothing worked out the way I wanted it to.
tup-
“sun. Let’s help each other!”
“It is my honor. The first great witch, Walpurgis du Peña-nim and mutual aid. It is a family honor that will never come again.”
“…Heh heh, it’s okay to know.”
I give Walpurgis a single mouthful as he grabs my hand, and a small smile appears on the child’s face.
I said it was the glory of my family, but Heize, the original owner of my body, is a commoner.
So, is there such a thing as a clan?
In the end, it was just a mouthful, but the great witch, who was weak in praise, only smiled mischievously.
“Then I’ll start preparing for the experiment in earnest tomorrow, so if I send you a call, leave the after-school schedule blank for that day.”
“Do you have any advances?”
“…the great witch is calling!”
“Mutual mutual aid.”
“…Come by tomorrow at the latest.”
I nodded my head satisfactorily at the sight of Walpurgis sulking at the word of mutual aid, as if he had no intention of disregarding what he had already said.
On the day the experiment is prepared, if you get a call, make time after school on the same day or the next day.
This shouldn’t be too much of a hindrance to me while I’m at school and studying and teaching.
“I do that.”
“Okay then, let’s go. I’m going to find a way to get rid of your constraints from now on!”
As I was about to leave the health room, I stopped in my seat as I was about to leave the health room at the sight of Walpurgis looking happy, perhaps because I thought there was something interesting to study.
When you go, even if you go, you have to ask for what you ask for.
“Oh, and could you please make something like an adjustable weight bracelet or dumbbell?”
“…I am not a craftsman. Not even an artifact creator. In the first place, dumbbells were all over the place at the training ground.”
“Then, just a bracelet, please. I’m going to wear it all day long, but wouldn’t it be a little hard with dumbbells?”
“…how far do you want to increase that ghastly power?”
“You have to do it until you do. It’s my only strength.”
“Crazy, crazy! I’d like to sharpen my strength to tear even my roots. Aren’t you just coming after becoming a muscle monster? Just P-….. ㄹㅗ….TㅣB…..like this?”
“…the joke is not funny.”
It’s a Korean game, so there’s a Korean aspect to it in a strange way.
It’s strange to be a great witch who mimics the famous lines of a famous webtoon-based drama.
Walpurgis, blushing at the sight of me sticking out his tongue with a cold face, shouted.
“You can do it up to a few kilos!”
“Just do it lightly, up to 100 kilos per bracelet.”
“….monster. One bracelet is heavier than me.”
“How tall is Walpurgis?”
“I’m in my forties…don’t ask me about my weight secretly!”
“Then I wish you well.”
“get out!”
Quad Duck!
Ooh, I almost died.
I told him to leave, and shuddering at the eerie sight of Walpurgis as he tried to push me down with the roots of a tree, perhaps sending me to the underworld, I headed towards the dormitory.
“Weighing around 40….it must be very light. I’ll try to use it instead of a barbell for bench press and squat later. Aren’t you getting squeezed by the roots of a tree?”
It was me who felt pure pleasure as a gamer because I found out information about Walpurgis that was not known in the game.
