7:30 AM.
Because Sylvar Crowe had spent too much time organizing his strength last night, he did not get up early in the morning.
He did not want to get up at first, but Rory Mercury was outside the door knocking loudly, and the knocking woke Sylvar up.
Rory said something like, "Honey, get up quickly."
Sylvar could no longer endure the light and soft verbal attack, so he forced his eyes open and got out of bed.
He slowly walked to the door with sleepy eyes. He reached out with his hand, grabbed the doorknob, and opened the door. Then he said tiredly to Rory,
"What are you doing? Don't you want to sleep a little longer? Vanessa didn't take you out to play with her?"
"That unreliable woman is drinking and acting crazy. I only drank a little, and I don't want to get drunk," Rory said resentfully.
Sylvar was speechless.
What an unreliable person.
Sylvar stepped aside and invited Rory into the room. Standing outside the door and talking like that was not very appropriate.
After Rory entered the room, she looked around here and there. Her eyes moved from one place to another as if she were checking something.
Sylvar suddenly felt awkward.
He could not help but try to say something just to break the silence.
"Why… after coming to this world, your god doesn't mind that you're not in your own world?"
Rory showed a mysterious smile.
"God doesn't mind me being in that world. Rather, I'm hiding. After I defeated his apostle Giselle, Hardy might take action himself, or invite someone more powerful than me to capture me."
"So I can't stay in that world. If I get caught, I'll have to get married."
"After all, my heart belongs to you now."
When she said the last sentence, Rory's face became shy.
At first, it seemed that there was nothing strange about her words.
But the moment Sylvar heard the last sentence, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Almost subconsciously, he replied with the phrase he often used.
"Please don't address me in that way. Really, really, really. It's important, so I said it three times. It's so corny!!!"
"Oh? Really?" Rory covered her mouth and chuckled.
"It's so intense that it gives me goosebumps all over my body. Please, Rory," Sylvar said helplessly.
"Then what should I call you? Dear?" Rory asked.
Sylvar opened his mouth.
But it felt as if something had suddenly become stuck in his throat.
He suppressed the strange feeling in his throat and forced back the words that were about to come out.
That kind of reaction would not be very gentlemanly.
He said,
"Just call me Sylvar. 'Honey' is fine. That kind of title is too intimate. It makes me… feel awkward."
Inside his heart, he screamed.
Why did I add that last sentence?
That sentence was completely unnecessary!
"Okay, dear," Rory said.
Sylvar spat a mouthful of blood in his heart.
Isn't this the same as nothing changing?
Maybe this is good.
No.
No, no.
This is not good at all.
After a moment of silence.
Around 8:00.
Asta came to Sylvar's room.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Then he said loudly,
"It's time to start cleaning!"
When Sylvar heard the words "clean the base," he instantly felt a headache.
Clean the base again!
Who made this rule?
Damn it.
Are newcomers not human beings?
Then he subconsciously turned his head and looked at Rory.
Is it okay to let a newcomer do the cleaning?
Absolutely not!
Cleaning the base is a necessary task for newcomers!
It is a blessing!
Sylvar secretly admired the rule in his heart.
Asta.
You did such a great job.
Sylvar immediately reached out, grabbed the doorknob, and opened the door.
He smiled and said to Asta,
"Let's go clean together, Asta."
Asta looked at Sylvar's happy expression and felt a little surprised.
He leaned slightly to the side and looked into the room.
When he saw Rory standing inside the room, he hesitated for a moment and said,
"Since your friend is here, you can clean later."
Sylvar's heart suddenly began beating violently.
Damn it.
Asta.
When did you grow a brain?
In order to prevent any accidents, Sylvar immediately said,
"Newcomers must clean. This is the Black Bulls' rule. Nothing can stop the rule."
"Hey—"
Just when Asta was about to say something, Sylvar immediately reached out, grabbed Asta by the arm, and dragged him away to start cleaning.
In the end, Rory still followed them.
Sylvar looked at the idle Rory and said,
"Asta and I are going to clean. It's very dirty and very boring. Why don't you go play with the other members of the base?"
"It's okay. As long as you're here, I won't be bored," Rory said.
…
…
What else could Sylvar say?
What else was there to say?
While cleaning, Rory kept talking beside him.
Sylvar did not really want to respond.
But he could not just let her talk to herself the entire time.
So while cleaning the base, the two of them continued chatting.
Since he was not in a hurry this time, Sylvar simply cleaned with his hands.
He did not use magic to speed up the process.
After finishing the cleaning, he went to do his daily training.
He needed to get stronger.
Rory continued following him the entire time.
He ran ten kilometers.
Then he did one hundred push-ups.
Then he did one hundred sit-ups.
Unfortunately, even though he performed these exercises every single day, Sylvar's body only developed slightly clearer muscle lines.
He did not become muscular like Asta.
Saitama.
You misunderstood me!
After finishing his exercise, Sylvar returned to his room.
He sat down cross-legged.
Then he closed his eyes and began to meditate.
This kind of meditation was essentially imagining his own abilities.
He considered whether new abilities could be created through imagination.
Of course, in this world, new magic usually appeared at the critical moment between life and death.
But that was not because magic was easier to awaken in life-and-death situations.
Rather, it was because the unwavering will to survive allowed new magic to emerge.
Therefore, as long as the idea was firm enough, the grimoire would naturally respond to Sylvar's thoughts.
Rory entered Sylvar's room and began speaking again.
Sylvar's face twitched slightly.
He slowly opened his eyes.
Then he looked at Rory and said,
"Rory, I'm thinking deeply right now. Could you please stop talking and disturbing me?"
"Otherwise, why don't you go play with Gray and the others?"
"They're bored every day anyway."
"Oh, right. There's also Charmy-senpai. Go eat with her more often. Her food is delicious."
Rory thought for a moment.
Then she turned around.
She walked out of the room.
After Rory left, Sylvar closed his eyes again and continued thinking.
He began considering the Yin Seal.
The Yin Seal could store more magical power through sealing.
So the question was—
How should he develop it further?
He wondered whether his magic attribute had also been "sealed."
He wondered what kind of new development direction it might have.
He thought about how to use two different magical attributes at the same time.
After all, those powers did not originally belong to him.
Because of that, his utilization rate was not high.
Their power was honestly disappointing.
As he continued thinking, his thoughts gradually drifted away.
He began thinking about the harvest from the previous world.
In the world of GATE, his only real gain seemed to be the Flame Dragon.
But the dragon's body was simply too huge.
Although its combat power still existed, it was not very satisfactory.
It was a bit bulky.
Aside from that, he made a few friends.
But Lelei and Tuka had already gone to the magician city to take their examinations.
Only Rory remained by his side.
But to be honest…
Sylvar was afraid of her when she fought.
Actually, even when they were not fighting, he was still afraid of her.
Of course, the biggest gain from that world was the Gate itself.
After all, with the Gate, he could travel between worlds.
Even if his own combat power was not enough, he could still mobilize others.
I'm a powerful person now.
If anyone dares to touch me, I'll call for help.
Group fight.
Aside from his friends, the Flame Dragon, and the extremely important Gate…
It seemed that his own strength had not improved at all.
…?
What the hell?
What should I do?
The future enemies in this Black Clover world are extremely strong.
Among the early enemies, the first boss—the Word Devil—can literally make things happen simply by speaking.
Whatever he says becomes reality.
It's terrifying.
So strong.
No.
I have to find a way to improve my strength.
After thinking for a long time, Sylvar realized that the most important upcoming event was the attack on the royal capital five days from now.
At that time, the team that conquered the Demon Palace would travel to the royal capital.
They would receive rewards from the Wizard King.
Sylvar began recalling the enemies.
There was the one who used black hole teleportation magic.
There was the one who controlled corpses.
And there was the one who could absorb magic power.
There were also several extremely terrifying individuals.
After thinking carefully, Sylvar realized that he probably could not defeat the first two.
But the one who absorbed magic power…
If he found a way to trap that one, there might still be a chance to defeat him.
However, the most important thing was this:
After defeating that enemy, he must secretly convert the enemy into a magic book.
He could not allow anyone else to discover it.
Then he would turn it into magic inside his own grimoire.
After evaluating his current strength, Sylvar made a decision.
First, he would go to another world.
He would see whether he could obtain new power there.
So he first charged the energy of the World-Traversing Pearl to 99%.
Then he thought about it carefully.
After a moment, he decided to call for help.
Just in case the destination world had extremely high combat power.
If he went alone, it might be dangerous.
But since the Gate already existed, not using it would be a waste.
I'm such a fucking genius.
Security has increased.
Now it was time to find people.
He needed to see how many members of the Black Bulls were still inside the base.
Inside the hall, he found Gray and Gauche.
After explaining the situation to them, the two of them agreed to travel to another world.
In the forest outside the base, he found Asta and Noelle training.
It was worth mentioning that Noelle's control over her magic had already reached the level where she could manipulate it.
During the previous trip to the Demon Palace, the seal on her magic had been removed to prevent accidents.
After the trip ended, the seal was placed back on her magic at Noelle's request.
But now Noelle confidently said that she could unlock the seal herself.
She promised that Sylvar would not need to seal it again.
When Sylvar heard this, he immediately removed the seal.
Then he turned around and left without saying anything else.
Do not speak with Noelle for more than two sentences.
If you say more than two sentences, she will choke you.
After the seal was removed, Noelle completely lost control of her magic attacks.
She accidentally struck Asta several times.
Of course…
None of that had anything to do with Sylvar.
Because he had already left the forest.
After searching around the base again, he did not find anyone else.
Finally, he went to the restaurant.
There, he found Charmy-senpai.
Thus, the seven-person group traveling to another world was assembled.
Sylvar Crowe.
Asta.
Noelle.
Gauche.
Gray.
Charmy.
And Rory Mercury.
At some unknown moment, Finral also appeared inside the Black Bulls' base.
Sylvar looked at Rory.
Then he thought about it carefully.
Nothing should go wrong.
After all…
Rory really likes killing.
Sylvar led everyone into Rory's world first.
Three minutes after everyone arrived there, Sylvar closed the Gate located inside the Black Bulls' base.
Let's start saving energy from me.
Then he filled the final 1% of energy into the World-Traversing Pearl.
The journey to another world…
Began.
