Acquired the EX-class attribute ‘Transcendence Copy’

50 – The Dragon’s Apprentice

“Ugh….”

My eyelids are heavy. However, on the contrary, the body was surprisingly light. It’s like asking for a siesta while lying on feathers flying in the fluttering sky.

“Ugh… !”

I stretch and slowly open my eyes. How long has it been since you woke up so refreshed?

My head is so clear that not even a single speck of idle thoughts remains. I was worried that I might have slept too late.

“Time….”

“It’s afternoon.”

A man’s voice suddenly pierces his ears.

The voice made Arsha feel as if cold water had been splashed on her head.

“Who, who!”

I know who the main character of the voice is, but I reflexively shout like that.

“Ms. Arsha. Have you already forgotten my voice?”

“John! Why do you…. Ah!”

Returns the memory before losing consciousness by raising the upper body.

15 Districts stopped by to appraise accessories.

Unidentified villains met there.

The beach girl who threatened them by spreading her wings of flame, and herself who took down the beach girl risking her life.

Her memory was just that far. It’s because she lost her mind with all her energy.

Looking back now, I wonder how I did such a reckless thing. To fight to the death for a man.

Isn’t it like the prince and princess in a children’s book reversed?

‘This is just a price! Because he saved me too… !’

The reason he risked his life to save John was only to repay the favor he had received from him, and he had no other interests involved. First of all, she was Arsha who so desperately organized her thoughts. Of course, she knew best that such an idea was an excuse.

‘Maybe this guy….’

Gulp!

Arsha stopped thinking because thinking more deeply would lead to strange conclusions. She then raised her head and asked John what was going on.

“What happened to me when I lost my mind? Please explain.”

“No big deal. I managed to get out of District 15 with the fallen Arsha. She narrowly caught her carriage. Oh, the carriage fare was not enough, so I took some of Arsha’s money and spent it, but it’s okay, right?”

“Is that money a big deal? Ha…. Really, what is it like?”

Placed her hand on her forehead, Arsha let out a sigh and bowed her head.

“As expected, rich people are different! Anyway, I came to my dormitory with Arsha, who had fallen like that. This is the ‘Chilseonggwan’ bedroom. That’s the bed I normally sleep in.”

“Yes, your bed!? Somehow it smelled like a man!”

“Of course. ‘Cause I’m a man Isn’t it weirder when you smell like a woman?”

“Tta, I’m not specifically blaming you. Doesn’t smell bad either… Aye! What am I talking about?”

Arsha, who ran amok alone, soon regained her senses.

“Haa…. Really, I have no face with you.”

“Yes? Why are Miss Arsha apologizing to me… ?”

“I took you there. I swear, I never thought the 15th district would change that much. At least I thought it was safe up there…. What the hell are the guards doing? I have to formally protest this in the name of the Swordhorn family.”

“Well, you don’t have to be bothered to step forward. I asked for help.”

“Help? What the guards couldn’t handle properly, to whom… ?”

“He’s far more reliable than the guards. More than that, are you okay?”

“Ugh… ? Uh? Come to think of it, my body is fine. Apparently, it was very tanned and deeply injured…. What happened?”

It was amazing. Not only did my body feel better, but on the contrary, I felt lighter than usual. Arsha swung her arm around and checked her body condition.

‘It’s not an illusion. I feel like my strength and agility have risen in numbers…. What? Have I grown up?’

A life-and-death struggle always lifts a human to a higher level. This fight was a fight worth fighting for.

However, even if it is a power-up from a fight, the sheer strength felt from her entire body is abnormal. Could such a power-up be achieved simply by growth through battle?

A small glass bottle came into Arsha’s eyes with such a question. She is a glass bottle on the nightstand next to her bed.

‘Yes… ? That….?’

The moment she saw the glass bottle, her heart thumped and trembled.

From noble mtl dot com

The shape of the glass bottle is a dragon with its mouth wide open.

It didn’t contain any contents, but I could roughly guess what it was just from its characteristic shape.

‘No. Could it be that….’

The ultimate rare item that he has only seen in books.

‘Elixir’

That glass bottle was the unique design of the ‘elixir’ bottle.

‘Oh no way…. It must be just a fake.’

The Elixir is an SS-class item. It is safe to say that it is the highest grade among existing potions.

Its value is literally immeasurable, and it can’t be found even in noble families, let alone noble families. Elixir was something that even noble families and even royal families could not easily handle.

‘That, yes. It must be fake….’

Arsha thought so and stretched out her hand towards her elixir.

“Ms. Arsha. Why is that?”

“Yo, John…. This….”

Injects weak mana into the elixir bottle. The elixir bottle filled with mana turns bright aurora. It is an itemistic characteristic of a genuine elixir bottle. It is a kind of anti-counterfeiting device.

‘No. A really elaborate counterfeit can counterfeit this too.’

It is best to visit a professional appraiser to determine whether this elixir bottle is genuine or counterfeit. However, Arsha knew intuitively. This is a real elixir, not a fake.

The elixir has two effects.

One is ‘Emergency Resuscitation’, which cancels all status ailments and restores all health, vitality, and mana.

The other is ‘Level Up’, which permanently raises one stat.

Both effects are absurdly powerful. ‘Emergency Resuscitation’ is no different from an extra life, and ‘Level Up’ is also an irrational effect that goes against the order of things. It’s because you can improve your abilities simply by drinking a potion.

Unlike accessories, these stat pumping is permanent.

It’s only then that the puzzle in my head seems to come together. She wondered why her body, which had become a mess, had become so intact, and where the powerful power welling up from the depths of her body had come from.

Arsha turned her hardened face like her machine. She turns his gaze to John.

“Hey….”

“Yes, Ms. Arsha.”

“Who are you?”

“Huh? Is this a philosophical question?”

John asks questions with a soft smile.

A normal woman would fall for that ridiculously handsome appearance, but Arsha is different.

“It was strange when I thought about it! Like that dagger you have, doesn’t it suddenly appear and become the head of the academy, doesn’t it lightly defeat Born Zaborg…. An ordinary commoner can’t do that!”

“To correct it, Born-kun didn’t fall to me. If you hear it, Born-kun will be sad.”

“Anyway! This is an elixir!?”

At Arsha’s question, Yohan nodded coolly.

“As expected, Ms. Arsha. Incredible.”

“Ugh! Why? How? No, before that, who are you?”

“If you ask a question like that, it’s hard to know how to answer it. Respond step by step. First of all, who Who am I?”

“Yes! Are you that? The king’s hidden son…. Omg!? No way, the real prince!?”

“Hmmm. Did you hear it already? I wanted this game to last a bit longer.”

“As expected… ! No, you did. So, what should I call you… ? Are you John? Or Prince John….? Could you tell me your true honor?”

Arsha did not doubt John’s words at all. In her view, the current situation made sense only when John was a prince.

“Smitty Warben Jagger Mann Jensen. It is number one in the next kingdom.”

“Smitty Warben…. What did you say? I’m a little proud of you.”

“Of course. Because it’s fake. I’m just John Baker. I’m the eldest son of ‘Dwarf Oven’, the most trendy bakery in the capital.”

“Don’t play around! Really!?”

“So, is it fake? Would you like to go and ask my mother?”

Arsha shook her head at Yohan, who responded deftly.

“That makes no sense! How did you get this elixir? Surely, she doesn’t mean that she picked it up on the street by accident!?”

“Well, I wish it was, but it’s not. Hmm…. To explain this, I have to tell Miss Arsha my secret….”

“Rain, secret?”

“Yes. It’s a terrifying secret. By the way, if I alone tell you the secret, it won’t pay off. I don’t really like unfair trade. Therefore….”

“So….?”

“Miss Arsha, please tell me a secret. The most important and most secret secret. Secret secret…. What a great expression!”

“Tell me my secret… ?”

Arsha, who almost asked what nonsense she was talking about, chewed Yohan’s logic in her head and agreed to a certain extent. Certainly, unilaterally asking about the other person’s secret is rather against the point. If you say that to the same aristocrat, you will always be ridiculed in the social world.

‘The logic is correct, but…. Why am I telling this guy a secret….’

Her head says John is right, but her chest doesn’t agree. However, Arsha’s determination was swift. It was because I was so curious about the character of John Baker.

“My secret. You’ll know if you go somewhere else and reveal it… ? I will go to the end and kill you!”

“Of course. This is John Baker. A man who sinks from his mouth when he falls into the water. Miss Arsha is not allowed to tell loosely made-up secrets.”

“That, I would never do that!”

Shouting out, Arsha looked around her for no reason as if to see if anyone else was there. Of course, the only ones around were Yohan and Arsha. After looking around her like that, Arsha brought her mouth to John’s ear and whispered softly.

“I actually….”

“What? Until the age of five, excuse me on the futon….”

“You idiot! Quiet! It’s just that I took it off a little later than the other kids!”

“A little…. Well, if Ms. Arsha said that, then it would be.”

“She made it clear. Do you know if I ever go somewhere and reveal this secret?”

“Of course! In the first place, even if I told the other kids, they wouldn’t believe it. Oh, I’m not saying that. I will take this secret to the grave!”

“Of course it should. Anyway, I said. So, this time it’s your turn to speak. What is your secret? It must have something to do with obtaining this elixir, right?”

“Of course.”

John looked at Arsha and took a deep breath. Then he slowly opened his mouth.

“My teacher is actually…. It is a dragon.”
