Happy Reading~

===========

After class ended, I unceremoniously started walking towards the academy principal’s office.

For now, my goal is to see what the rewards from the academy are like.

I think, guessing the reward from the academy should be something like an increase in strength.

But somehow, I wish this was something much bigger.

Not long after, I decided to stop my steps.

It could say, the place where I am currently is the academy head’s office.

“Oh? You finally came? Walk over here. I want to give you something.”

Unexpectedly, I heard an old man’s voice appear right in my ear.

Of course, I immediately knew who this old man in front of me was.

However, I have seen this old man for several times.

With that alone, it’s not impossible for me not to show a calm expression on my face.

“Greetings, Great Wizard. I came because I heard you calling me.” I said, not forgetting to pay my respects.

I know, realizing the extent of this old man’s power.

I felt, as I stood in front of this old man, I couldn’t help but feel afraid.

It felt like I could be killed in one move.

But fortunately, what I was worried about was unlikely to happen.

“What’s this?” I asked, unable to help but understand what was in this old man’s hands.

From my perspective, the thing the old man gave me looks like an apple.

It’s just that, it’s different from ordinary apples in general.

It could say, this is an apple that can emit an aura of unlimited life

“The name of this fruit is Fruit of Purity. It is said that when one eats the Fruit of Purity, they can increase their natural talent. And because your talent is too low, I decided to give this to you.”

“Fruit of Purity? Could it be…” as if realizing what was happening, I couldn’t help but express disbelief on my face.

When I was little, I remember the Fruit of Purity was born from the Sacred Tree.

It is said that the Sacred Tree is a tree that was passed down directly by the gods and goddesses.

With the fruit of this tree, it is enough to give unlimited life to any creature.

At first, I thought the story about the Sacred Tree was just superstition.

But apparently, like it or not, I have to change my perspective.

Since the beginning, the Sacred Tree has become a reality in the outside world.

And now, because this old man decided to give me the Fruit of Purity.

I couldn’t help but feel surprised, wondering if I should accept a gift like this?

“But don’t worry, the quality of this fruit is almost close to zero. By eating this fruit, your talent will most likely increase.”

’So that’s how it is… The Fruit of Purity this old man gave me was low quality? Well, I also know it’s very unlikely that I’ll be able to get a high-quality Fruit of Purity.’ I thought, trying to keep my hopes down on this fruit.

I know, expecting to obtain the Fruit of Purity requires a lot of effort.

And since this old man decided to give me a low-quality Fruit of Purity, I can’t help but express my gratitude.

“Thank you! I’m very happy because I can now improve my talent. If it wasn’t for you, I don’t know whether I could reach the Warrior stage or not.” I said, not forgetting to try to act a little small talk.

If I didn’t show my surprised reaction, I’m afraid this old man couldn’t help but notice my true talent.

However, the fact that my talent is far from the Orange stage is not a lie.

If my talents as a Green stage talent were to be known, wouldn’t it greatly shock others?

And worst of all, the people from the academy, they relentlessly kept investigating my background.

“Ah. I remember. Your talent is Orange, right?”

For a moment, I unconsciously wore a doubtful expression on my face.

Don’t know why, but I didn’t expect this old man to suddenly ask something I didn’t want.

“Alright… I know you don’t want to reveal your secret. But remember, this fruit can only enhance talents below the Dark Green stage. If it is eaten by talents above the Black stage, it is unlikely that they will gain any effect.”

Having no choice, I decided to accept the words of this old man.

I was happy, grateful that this old man chose not to ask further about my secret.

If my secret were to be known, I couldn’t help but be forced to act more carefully.

“Sorry. I’ll excuse myself now. Thank you for your gift.” not wanting to linger, I started walking out of the academy head’s room.

For now, I really can’t wait to taste the Fruit of Purity that this old man gave me.

“Be careful. If you have any problems, you can come to me for help.”

*kreek-*

Finally, the room around the academy head couldn’t help but return to silence again.

Just look, the room I was in before, looks like an ancient room.

However, unlike other ancient rooms, this one looks more like a room from the Middle Ages.

If could say that, the room where the academy head was located was filled with dazzling sunlight reflected from the glass.

Simultaneously, it followed in several bookshelves around it.

Also, continue with the stairs to the second floor.

’I knew it… This kid, he kept his secret as an Orange stage talent. No, this boy’s talent now is Green stage talent. I think, this Green brat’s stage talent is also fake?’

But who cares? As long as I am on the human side, why should I be killed?

In the end, the fact that I had helped in the fight against the demon race was not a lie.

Even this old man, he knows I have fought against one of the 72 Demon Pillars.

Although not the main body, the Demon Pillar is the Demon Pillar.

With my ability to urge one of the 72 Demon Pillars, it is enough to prove that my talent is not low.

*tap-* *tap-* *tap-*

“Oh? He’s coming. Hero. I can’t wait to train you now.”

…

’Noah, the fruit in your hand is a magical fruit. Are you okay with eating this fruit?’ asked the fairy in me, endlessly amazed at the Fruit of Purity in my hand.

For this fairy, the Fruit of Purity was one of the wonders in this world.

If the Fruit of Purity is obtained by some being, it is possible that he will be blessed with unlimited good fortune.

’What’s my problem? I really want to improve my talents. Why not?’

’Well… I was just asking. In my view, the Fruit of Purity is one of the rarest fruits among all the fruits in existence. If I may say, in this world there are only a few people who have this fruit.’

’Is this fruit very rare?’ without realizing it, I couldn’t help but put on a surprised expression.

I’m curious, want to know why the Fruit of Purity can only be owned by a few people?

Of course, I also wonder if the Sacred Tree has disappeared?

If the Sacred Tree did not disappear, why in this world are only a handful of people able to obtain the Fruit of Purity?

With that alone, it was not impossible for anyone not to feel disbelief.

’Hah… The Sacred Tree is now weakening. Since the last hero disappeared, the Sacred Tree has been showing signs of aging. From that day on, the various races decided not to disturb the Sacred Tree anymore.’

’I see… But what about this fruit? I feel like this fruit is a low quality fruit.’

’Don’t be disappointed. This is the fruit of genetic results in the past. Humans had tested the Fruit of Purity, and the results of this test were truly surprising. They decided to plan further in creating a clone of the Fruit of Purity.’

’You mean… the fruit in my hand now is the result of a clone?’ as if realizing what was happening, I could only continue to wear a disappointed expression.

I thought, thinking that the Fruit of Purity in my hand was plucked directly from the Sacred Tree.

But apparently, the Fruit of Purity in my hands is no lower than a mere imitation.

’That’s right… But don’t worry, this Fruit of Purity has a few percent original content. By eating this fruit, you can increase your talent from the Green stage to the Dark Green stage.’

’Thank God… That means I can improve my talent, right?’ unexpectedly, I couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

I thought, would it be possible for the old man to give me a fake item like this?

But fortunately, what I thought didn’t actually happen.

Within moments, my eyes, couldn’t help but fall on a man.

It could say, this man, he is the hero.

But I suspected, knowing that this man was also called by the academy head.

But what? I don’t care at all what this guy wants to do.

For me, this man’s business is not something I should interfere with.

’He… Who is he? Noah, may I ask the name of this man?’ asked the fairy in me, thinking what she saw was an illusion.

’He is Ash F. Oarth. He is the man you have been looking for. He is the hero.’

’I see… He is a hero? Okay. I’m glad to see that the hero of the current era

are not weaklings.’

’Amazing. I didn’t expect you to only show a mediocre reaction.’ I commented, wondering what the reason was for this fairy to act as if nothing had happened.

At first, I thought it was when Bellu met the hero.

Of course, it was impossible for Bellu not to show her admiration.

But why? Why didn’t she feel excited at all?

’Do you remember? The reason why I want to see the hero is because I intend to judge the hero in the current era. And since my goal has been achieved, I no longer care about what happens.’
