Chapter 300 Strongest Sage, Back to Capital

"Oh and also, there"s a talk about creating Rank S right now!"

"Rank S?"

"It"s a rank above rank A! It"s just a rumor making rounds for now though . "

Above rank A huh . . .

Well, it"s got nothing to do with me .

Either way, we probably won"t go out of our way to get to rank S unless we"ve got a reason to .

I"ll leave the serious adventuring to the aspiring adventurers from Second Academy .

I accepted the guild card while thinking that .

"I"ll be cheering on you guys! Please do your best!"

"Yeah, thanks . "

Thus we left the guild .

Now then . . . Time to go back to the capital .

◇

A few hours later .

We"re back at the capital, and are headed to the Second Academy .

On the way there . . . I heard a voice .

『That [Genesis] and [Eyes of Heavens] . . . That was Gaias-san right?』

It"s Grevil"s voice .

Looks like he noticed us and talked to me through comm magic .

Doesn"t seem like the girls are included as recipients in the magic .

『You realized huh . 』

『Of course I did . Even in my era, the only one who could use those magic was Gaias-san . . . So, is the one returning right now . . . Gaias-san?』

Grevil asked me with a serious tone .

I see . He went and used comm magic to confirm me that huh .

『Nah, it"s Mathias . . . Gaias only got resurrected for six seconds . 』

『Six seconds . . . is it . 』

『Yeah . Since nothing left of my previous body, I did the revival through my soul . . . But resurrecting only my power proved impossible with this body of mine . 』

An instability had occurred centered around Crest .

Were my Crest the same as my previous life, the revival could probably work permanently .

My reincarnation would have been meaningless if I got the same crest as my past life though .

『R-revival via a soul!? That"s . . . Wouldn"t that kill you?』

『Of course, I would have died if I made even a tiny mistake . Hence the six seconds time limit . 』

『You"re doing these dangerous stuff again . . . I believe Mathias-san will be fine, but please take care of yourself more . If you were to die now, this world"s mankind will most likely go extinct . 』

Extinct huh .

Even after the Mana Fusion Reactor meltdown catastrophe that resulted in a huge decline of civilizations, humanity still survived somehow .

So I feel like they"d probably somehow manage by themselves even if I were to disappear . . . But even I am not willing to die without reincarnation magic .

I won"t be able to fight anymore if that ever happens .

I tell Grevil while thinking that .

『We"ll be heading there for now . Pretend that you have no clue about the revival of the past me . 』

『I understand . . . Revival magic goes against common knowledge of magic . It"s a good idea to pretend as if revivals through [Broken Stars] never existed . 』

『Yeah . Let"s go with that . 』

The core of revivals that I and Anmorr brothers employed, [Broken Star] is [Supra-natural Art], a fundamentally different thing than magic .

But there"s no guarantee that the present world is able to accept that fact .

Propagation of chantless magic is slowly happening in this world right now, the once-lost magic is now usable .

And if revival magic were to come into the picture then . . . it might give birth to a misunderstanding, [Magic can be used for revival] .

Anyone would have someone they would want to revive .

There"s a possibility many would go on a fruitless labor researching on it if they were led to believe that .

Hence, it"s better to put a zip on the revival things .

I arrived at the Second Academy while thinking .

"First thing first, let"s report to Grevil . . . Also we should not say a word about revival magic . "

"Not a word?"

"Yeah . That 『Supra-natural Art』 . . . is an entirely different thing altogether from magic . If the existence of that becomes well known, it will only delay progress of magic development . "

"I mean I guess the idea of reviving the dead would make people go crazy . . . "

I knock on the door to Grevil"s room while conversing .
