Chapter 4 [Prologue. Theoretical explanation]
Faceless: * And so. I have a couple of questions for my brother. Let's say that a thing that will absorb or seal my mana exists. But, then the question is. If he exists, then where is he going to look for her. There are probably no such items in this world. If in another world or universe, then maybe. If you take another world, then the demon world, the kingdom of the Demon King, comes to mind. If we take another universe, then the question arises. For example, if a brother can travel through universes, then it must not be an unlimited power of movement. It should have a limitation or limitations, in the worst case there should be consequences of the application. Taking into account all the facts, we can say that this is why I will be here for 10 years. How the facts connecting the conditions of the use of force give such a result of expectation. In all likelihood, if he needs to go to another universe and back, then this is a 2-a move. Considering the transfer to my universe, we can say that after my appearance in the cave, it must take 5 years for him to be able to move. A total of 10 years. It sounds logical, but I can't get an accurate answer without my brother. Still, this is a theory after all.* Moving from theory to another theory, I have a very interesting question. If the progenitor restarts the universe, then there are two possible outcomes when restarting. The 1st is a restart from scratch. That is, the beginning of the universe from the very beginning. The 2nd is a restart from a certain location. For example, having a reference point in space and time, and moving forward from it along a given exponent, when restarting, the running exponent breaks off. Next, there are two options for the outcome of such a restart. In total, with the best outcome, you can get the same reference point with repeated events, but modified actions of the object. In this case, everything will take its course, however, as an object, I must not make a mistake. In the worst case scenario, you can get the 2nd exponent. In one of them I made a mistake and live with it, and in the other I return to the reference point of space and time and do not make a mistake, as with the best outcome. However, with such options, I do not have the right to choose. So, most likely, the best outcome is happening. Consequently, I forget everything, that is, there is a complete restart of my memories to zero, and there is also a restart of the universe to the reference point of space and time. I like this scenario and I don't. Okay. It's time to check the result of training. How much time has passed there. And so, 6 seconds have passed on the hourglass. According to the time of my reasoning, about 6 minutes have passed. Therefore, I will be able to meditate for 10 seconds, like 10 minutes. Therefore, at this rate, my second in reality is equal to one minute in meditation. This is good, of course, but I would like a different result. Namely, the acceleration of time. You can come to this, on the contrary, not by slowing down consciousness, but by accelerating it. And so, it's time to try.
---Some time earlier, the dormitory of the BRAINSTORMING school---
Calm madman: Yes, young man, what did you want?
???: Hello again, my name is Hin. May I ask you to show me your teeth? I would really, really like to take a closer look at them.
The calm madman: Ho-ho. I mean, there's a potential person here. Okay, I'll let you look at them.
"After the Calm Madman's words, Hin happily bowed in gratitude and ran up to the smiling Calm Madman. Hin was so happy that he couldn't hold back his smile, which he trained and also hid from everyone."
Calm madman: Oh yes. Maybe you're the right person for us.
Hin: Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose, it's a habit.
"Hin was confused and began to doubt his actions, not listening to the Calm Madman."
The calm madman: Hin. You won't do me a favor. Tell me, please, the location of human organs. Anatomy.
Hin: S-yes.
"Hin told about all the organs and their location in the human body. The calm madman began to smile even more from excitement and awe of the first assistant."
Calm madman: OK Hin. What do you know about surgery? Maybe you can operate?
Hin: So far, all I know is how to serve surgical instruments and cut out some organs.
Calm madman: Wow. You're right for me. So, how long will it take you to graduate?
Hin: In 5 years. What do you want to do with me?
Calm madman: It's a pity that in 5 minutes. Before answering your question, can I ask a counter question that will determine the answer to yours?
Hin: Yes, of course.
Calm madman: So the question is, 'What are you going to do after graduation?'
Hin: Honestly, I didn't think about it. But most likely, my father will send me to serve in the royal army or get me a job with him.
Calm madman: Okay, then the answer to your question is this. I would like you to work as my assistant. Your task will be simple. Moving bodies, handing over tools, some help with operations. However, you will receive payment or punishment for this, depending on the results of your work.
"After hearing that, Hin started smiling like last time. His face showed ecstasy at the words and the idea of a future job as an assistant."
Hin: Ah. Sir, I'll do anything to work in the place you're talking about.
Good night madman: Haha! I'm glad to hear that. Then, in 5 years, you're going on a trip with me.
Hin: Good.
"There was a knock on the door, which interrupted the caresses of 2 madmen, who were being watched by Chlori with a terrifying face."
Hin: Come in.
"The headmaster of the school, Self Ardo, came into the room. Behind him trailed the main man of this meeting, Voch, who did not even look ahead, but only lowered his head down. In this position, his face was not visible, because of his hair, which hung about 9 centimeters."
Director Self A.: I think I know the reason for this meeting. And so, at the request of a Calm Madman, you will be expelled from the hostel and school. Will this result suit you?
Calm madman: Of course, Mr. Self. I am more than happy with this result.
Director Self A.: Then let me take my leave. And you, Yu-no-sha, follow me. Tomorrow, after letting you out of your office, you will be standing at the general meeting of students, where your parents will be. They will come for you on my message. In case of their absence, you will get there alone. All the money and all the things will go to your parents, so you will get home on foot.
Voch: I'm listening...
"Voch's voice sounded very sad and upset. The headmaster and Woch left the room, closing the door behind them."
Chlori R.: I understood everything except the situation with the director. When did you manage to come to an agreement with him?
Calm madman: It's simple. At that moment, when you were at the headman's, and I was in your room, I wrote to the director on a piece of paper through the portal.
Chloris R.: Good. But how could you write to him? After all, your ability has a limitation on sight.
Calm madman: That's right. From your window, you can see the door to the director's office. I put a portal there and put it on the bed. As a result, I knocked on the door from the outside. The director came out, saw the hand, was scared. I assumed that I needed a pen and paper. Further, everything is simple, having written the whole situation on paper, he went to look for and exclude Voch.
Chloris R.: Ponya...
Hin: What?! Once again, what?! What kind of contacts do you maintain with the director and how did you start communicating with him, teacher?
Calm madman: I'm sorry, Chlori, I understand you, if you have any questions, call me. And so. I met him not so long ago. The only thing I can say is that he trusts and supports me.
Hin: I see. What other portals are there?
Calm madman: Oh. That's something you'll have to find out, boy.
Hin: Uh. It's a shame, you know. Well, all right. Are you leaving?
Calm madman: I don't know. Chlori, do you have any questions or problems?
Chlorides: None. There are no problems or questions.
Calm madman: Great. Then I will come first for Chlori, and then for you, my young disciple.
Chloris R.: Okay, I'll be waiting.
Hin: See you soon. Have a good trip.
"A calm madman left the room and created a portal outside the dormitory and under himself. And then, right away, away from people in a dark alley. Then he left the city and began to move using portals. So the Calm Madman began his journey."
--- Some time later, the city of Greenline---
Calm madman: * And so, I came to this city, just for information. The problem is that I have no connections here except with Chlori's parents. Then perhaps it's worth keeping a lookout for a group of adventurers. It is best that there are 2 adventurers.*
"The calm madman left the city unnoticed, thanks to the empty streets and unnoticed movement in the shadows of houses. He headed to a field that starts near the city. The location of the Calm Madman was very good. He was in the shade of a tree in the bushes. This place was 2 kilometers away from the city."
Calm madman: * It seems that the place is not bad, especially since I am not so far from the city. Anyway, I just need to wait.*
---12 days of waiting---
Calm madman: * I feel the vibration. It's time to get out of meditation. Let's see. Oh, these are 3 creatures. A girl, aged about 20 years old, in steel armor and a boy, aged about 13 years old, in ordinary peasant clothes, as well as a horse with things. Judging by that, I don't think they're mother and son or boyfriend and girlfriend. So something must have happened. So, we need to think about it. If I teleport from the girl's back, the boy will get very scared and run away to the village. If I teleport from the boy's back, provided that she protects him, then she will probably talk to me. Moreover, all the results are bad... And if you teleport to both of them, but in front of them, then maybe a conversation will start. Okay, I'll do that.*
"The calm madman moved ahead of these 2 people."
Calm madman: Good afternoon. Could you help me?
"??? abruptly, she took up her sword and began to draw it."
???: * Who is this, I've never seen such monsters before. At the same time, he also talks. But more importantly, if he wanted to kill us, then why didn't he kill us? After all, his speed is so great that he was instantly in front of us.* P-hello. I do not know who or what you are, but why didn't you kill us? We're easy prey for you.
Calm madman: It's very, very simple. I'm not going to kill you, and I wasn't going to kill you. I am peaceful. You've judged correctly that I'm not a human being, but I'm not a monster either. If you want to learn more, then go to an interesting place in 10 years. I can only show it on the map. By the way, it was for the sake of the map that I stopped you. I'm wondering where the Druid Kingdom is.
???: Clearly. In that case, the Kingdom of the Dwarves, namely their capital, is in that direction.
"A girl??? She pointed towards the forest, beyond which huge mountains could be seen. One of them was above the clouds."
Calm madman: Okay, should I just move in a straight line? And how much is the distance?
???: Yes, in the Great Green Cloud Forest, just in a straight line, then you will have to bypass the mountains. The distance from the town of Greenline to the end of the forest is approximately 28.3 kilometers. No one walked further, so I can't tell you the distance.
Calm madman: Understood, thank you. I'm guessing you don't want to go visiting in 10 years, right?
???: I do not know. The boy I was guarding is scared right now. So if we can meet again, we'll talk about it.
Calm madman: Okay, I understand you. Then, goodbye.
???: Goodbye.
"After the conversation, the Calm Madman headed towards the mountains to find the Dwarf Kingdom.
--- At the same time---
"The Faceless one began to understand how to accelerate consciousness and has already exceeded the usual speed of time perception. At this stage, he can spend 10 seconds in 8 seconds. Thus, his expectation accelerated 1.25 times. And the learning rate has decreased by the same number of times."
---Night, the middle of the Great Green Cloud Forest---
"The calm madman used teleportation a lot and the consequences of this were an attack of insanity and a galactic rash in his eyes."
Calm madman: * No, of course I understood that this would happen, but it's * for the best-aah. The head! My head! It's splitting! I'm losing control. Rather, where? Where? Well, where is it? It's right in the pocket of his jacket. Here he is!
"The calm madman foresaw such an outcome and therefore took with him the 2nd dose to prevent insanity. Namely, a sedative. In our lifetime, one dose is equal to 2 horsepower."
