Chapter 100

<099. The Wolf and the Lamb>

Milmea von Sabre.

She is the owner of a miserable stat and is treated as an inferior student by Jefrin. Born as the eldest daughter of a quiet farming family in the eastern region, the only specialty of her family was milk, and sending the eldest daughter to Jefrin alone was enough to worry about the budget of the fief. However, Milmea loved her hometown very much.

So, she thought she could stay in her hometown and live her life without any complaints.

However, her parents set a policy: "Since she will eventually inherit the fief, she must meet many people and broaden her horizons from a young age," and thus Milmea headed to Jefrin.

'As my parents said, I will meet many people! Maybe, among them, there might be my destined partner!'

With such dreams, she headed to the artificial island of Jefrin.

But Jefrin was too vast and too great.

A place where only geniuses, talents, and prodigies from the entire continent gathered, there was no place for an ordinary person like Milmea.

She made friends, but she had to tremble with fear, unsure when she would be expelled from Jefrin.

She knew that she had been chosen to be pushed forward for the sake of one student.

The sacrificial lamb for the genius boy, Kelters.

At that moment, Milmea gave up on her dreams.

Thinking she would return to her hometown like this, the lost young lamb met a savior.

The savior was a wolf.

Wolfram von Loen格林.

At first, her seniors were worried.

Because the rumors about the wolf were terrible.

However, the actual Wolfram was someone who made her think that rumors were just rumors.

It was a turning point that made her realize she shouldn't believe in something unless she saw it with her own eyes.

The possessor of a lineage that would never be seen again in human history.

However, his stats were pitiful. Stamina 2, Magic 3. Apart from his lineage, he had no place in Jefrin.

He fell from the position of student council president to a regular student, and the majority of the hundred thousand students turned against him, yet he did not take a single step back.

His eyes were dreaming.

His hands were crafting dreams.

Even if a hundred thousand people turned against him, would there be any hesitation in his steps?

She realized that such a person existed.

She learned that his capacity as a human was extraordinary.

She received countless help. From being on the verge of expulsion, she eventually rose to the top of her year.

When she sent a letter to her parents informing them that she had received a full scholarship, they were more pleased with her being the top of her year than with the scholarship.

'If you've become the top, you can dream bigger, can't you?'

'You can even get a job in the central government. Don't worry about the fief!'

After receiving that reply, Milmea von Sabre realized that being the top of her year was a ticket to achieving a higher dream.

To her, the significance of being the top was merely a qualification to be worthy of calling herself his junior.

Of course, her parents didn't need to worry.

She had a proper dream.

Standing by his side.

If she were to be greedy, being the first one he looked at among others.

If she were even more greedy, being the only one he looked at, not anyone else.

How many levels higher was that dream?

Everyone around her was excellent.

Her senior in the Knight Department wanted to become his royal guard. In romance novels that mimic the royal court, it's not uncommon for a royal to end up with their royal guard.

A third-year senior in the Magic Department, a famous assassin, was also there. Her stats were overwhelming.

And there was his fiancée, a senior who was incredibly beautiful and cared for her.

To be honest, Milmea von Sabre's chances were excessively low.

But

'Environment' and 'circumstances' are never a reason to give up.

Just like she had done until now, she would simply believe in herself and move forward.

Milmea was determined to strengthen her resolve quietly among the seniors she admired and respected, while also considering them rivals.

It's okay. I won't lose in spirit...!

"Isn't going on an adventure outdoors with Senior Wolfram more fun than expected?"

"......Hmm. The dormant mountain range, the eastern forest, and the natural highlands... Rudyka also likes it."

"Ah, I've been to the dormant mountain range before. I remember looking at the stars with Wolfram. Has Piyak been on an expedition before?"

......

......

"......I haven't."

She didn't lose in spirit.

In spirit......

"I haven't......"

She didn't lose in spirit.

But, this can't go on!

This was the reason Milmea von Sabre raised her hand to join Wolfram's expedition.

***

Shock!

To Wolfram von Loen格林, heat and cold are directly related to life and death!

"Of course. This body has a stamina of 2."

This damned body can hardly withstand the cold or the heat.

It's the end when summer comes. Summer arrives suddenly, so you need to prepare when you feel the warmth.

"Therefore, we must head north."

However, the northern region, the snowy fields of Poying, is a terrible map.

The monsters that appear are fierce, and the map itself is a mess.

"Therefore, we must choose the second act reward items carefully."

Saying that, I started to choose the items for clearing the second act.

The only fixed item you can get in the second act is the Zonman glove set.

Therefore, among the second act rewards, you can get one additional item from the Zonman set.

By getting one additional item to the glove set, you complete the full Zonman set.

With a little Lin and recovery potions, and an 8-tier skill selection.

The final clear bonus is really sweet, what is it...?

【Second Act Clear Reward!】

【Random Stat Growth Token!】

【Randomly increases one stat (excluding magic) by 1.】

【Do you want to use it?】

I fidgeted with my hand several times.

This is it. This is what I wanted. It's finally in my hands.

Of course, I know. This is also like the previous random acquisition token, focusing on the most frequently used stats.

Most likely, the stat that will increase the most is talent.

So, Wolfram's talent will likely increase from 9 to 10.

I have a skill can.

Go beyond the limit.

For a regular skill can, even a veteran can only use it three times.

But who am I!

Go beyond the limit and descend upon this!

"Ah......!"

And it worked.

I trembled with omnipotence.

I definitely touched it five times.

So, the stats increased by five!

【Talent increases by 1!】

【Talent increases by 1!】

【Talent increases by 1!】

【Talent increases by 1!】

【Talent increases by 1!】

"......?"

Is this real?

***

Talent 14.

As I said, the probability of talent increasing was the highest.

I always use either talent or magic, and I've already ruled out magic.

Still, it's not bad that strength and will didn't increase at all. The worst would be if talent increased by 1 and will by 4, making a useless character.

Still, couldn't it have increased my stamina by 1? Isn't there such a thing as human kindness?

Still, it's not bad. A mediocre hybrid is a shortcut to a failed character.

If I increase talent by 1 more, I can get an additional skill.

Now, with talent alone, I have a stat that is not lacking in any situation.

In other words, it's just enough to barely get into Jefrin.

There are many useful skills at talent 15, so I should take comfort in that.

Still, I can't hide my disappointment. It would have been good if it had increased my stamina by 1.

"What are you making, Wolfram?"

"......No, nothing. Just preparing for the expedition."

"Senior, what are you making right now?"

"A mini campfire set."

"A campfire set?"

"Hmm."

【Based on your talent, the items you can make as a handy worker have increased!】

【Based on your talent, the success rate of Shining Patisserie has increased!】

【Based on your talent, the success rate of accessory creation has increased!】

Interestingly, the talent 14 stat was definitely paying off.

"This campfire set will burn for ten hours on its own if you just distribute the flint and fuel inside this box and draw a line like this."

"......Isn't that hard to make? What if it catches fire while you're walking?"

"I'm making it so that it won't happen, so don't worry."

In fact, because my talent is slightly low, it's impossible to make this item, so safety is guaranteed.

"Also, I've dried emergency rations that are easy to carry and leaves that repel monsters, and I've prepared tents, hot packs, and extra clothes...... I think that's about it."

"Isn't it a day trip?"

"I heard it was a day trip. It's a bit disappointing, but...... it's a day trip......"

They looked slightly flustered, dressed warmly but without properly packing their bags.

Did I not explain?

"It's not a day trip. We're planning to return tomorrow
