Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

Brunhilde explained:

[It's the smell of disinfectant, Master Sieg]

[It has been 38 years since the last time the medical room was used. In addition, the Clinshid has been damaged for a month. It seems that the air in here is not circulated well. Please wait.]

Coming to the only table in the medical room, Brunhilde operated it quickly, and then a gust of air blew up in the room, and the pungent smell also dissipated with the air flow. Sieg's nose felt better.

After continuing to rub vigorously, Zigg breathed a sigh of relief: "Yeah, much better... But, this medical room is a little smaller than I thought?"

At least compared to the restaurant, training room, and bathroom, this medical room is only about two-thirds the size? Maybe even smaller.

[Because when the medical room was built, the Clinshid did not have the current scale, and in the 430 upgrades and improvements that followed, the priority of the medical room has always been relatively low. And because most of the contractors have the ability to heal themselves, the medical room has been neglected for a long time.]

This is indeed the truth.

Add to that the bath that could even bring the dead back to life, and the medical room was almost useless on the Crainhild.

[Then please lie down on the bed over there, Sieg-sama. The physical examination will only take ten seconds.]

"okay, I get it."

Coming to the bed that Brunhilde pointed to, Sieg lay down on his side. Just as he lay down completely, a transparent cover suddenly rose from the edge of the bed and covered Sieg inside. Rays of light green light floated up and down rapidly, causing Sieg to squint his eyes subconsciously.

then......

【Physical examination completed】

On the inside of the transparent cover, Sieg suddenly saw a line of words appear on the cover.

[Inspection target: 53rd contractor Siegfried Fehr]

【Physical age: 16 years and 11 months】

【Biological sex: Male】

【Health status: Very healthy】

I don’t know why, even though Sieg didn’t recognize many of the words, he could somehow understand their meaning.

(Is this what my physical examination showed?)

[Conclusion of Genetic Analysis: 70% Human, 30% Dragon]

[Skill system judgment: Fire magic - similarity with the records in the database 85%]

"......ha?"

Looking at the additional text that appeared, Sieg couldn't help but be stunned.

And at this moment, all the words suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, the cover covering Zigg opened.

Brunhilde came to the bedside.

[Thank you for your hard work, Master Sieg. The physical examination has been completed. Here is the result report generated immediately.]

"..."

Looking at the content on the light screen in Brunhilde's hand, Sieg couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Brunhilde, is there something wrong with this physical examination? It says... I have 30% dragon?"

"How can I, a human being, be a dragon?"

[The inspection system cannot possibly be wrong, Master Sieg]

[From a genetic perspective, 30% of your genes are indeed dragons, and they are similar to the genes of the lower dragons recorded in the database.]

[As for the reason——maybe it has something to do with your long-term consumption of dragons]

"this......"

Sieg was speechless for a moment.

He has been eating dragons for five years. If this is the reason, it doesn't seem unreasonable. But if he keeps eating dragons, won't he become a dragon in the future?

A dragon hunter who ends up being transformed into a dragon?

Isn't this a bit...

[Please don't worry, Master Sieg]

As if she could see what Sieg was thinking, Brunhilde placed her hand on Sieg's head and stroked it gently.

[It is not unprecedented for a contractor of the Dragon Slayer System to become a dragon. The 17th contractor is a half-human, half-dragon alien like you, but he still chooses to fight against the dragon. What is important is whether you have a firm self and will. Compared with this, innate talent and acquired efforts are just additional things.]

"Miss Brunhilde..."

[Also, please allow me to report one thing to you]

Switching the light screen in her hand to another one, Brunhilde pointed at the double helix shape on it and said:

[Since you don't have the knowledge in this area, let me explain it to you next - this is your genetic analysis chart. Although it seems that a long time has passed and it is almost impossible to tell, there are still some remnants left that can be used as evidence.]

[Lord Sieg, judging from the conclusion of this examination, all humans living on this planet, including you, should have undergone genetic modification.]

12. Best Match

The Krenshid had visited thousands of different planets. Based on the branch instructions derived from the core instructions of the Dragon Slayer System, the civilizations on each planet are now recorded in the Krenshid's database.

Among these thousands of planets, humans are the most numerous life forms.

Of course, the definition of "human" is different on different planets, and not all races that can be called human in a general sense call themselves "human", so the Crainshid and the Dragon Slayer System have their own set of judgment logic.

Species currently registered in the Clinshid database only need to have a similarity of more than 80% with the standard body to be called human. Judging from the results of Sieg's physical examination, he is undoubtedly a human - but not a purebred human.

[The following is just speculation based on the conclusion - perhaps hundreds of years ago, all humans on this planet underwent a large-scale genetic modification, or a large-scale species combination with some non-human species]

[The resulting offspring naturally have inhuman parts in their bodies, and this part continues to be passed down through the bloodline, and still exists in every person on this planet today. And depending on the different physiques of each person, some humans will also have inhuman signs.]

Brunhilde said as she handed a mirror to Sieg.

[In Sieg's case, it should be the eyes and teeth, right? Normal humans don't have vertical pupils like you, and teeth aren't so sharp.]

"......"

Sieg looked at himself in the mirror in silence.

If he hadn't looked in the mirror every day for the past month, and if he hadn't seen himself through the water when he found a water source, he might have almost forgotten what he looked like.

Its hair was a bright red like flame, and its face was slightly thin and delicate. Its vertical pupils, like those of a dragon, were faintly flickering with flames. Its sharp teeth, including its canine fangs, seemed able to tear apart a piece of flesh with just one scratch.

[If you still need evidence, Sieg-sama's extraordinary physical ability can also serve as evidence]

[But then you need to move to the training room first]

"......No."

Putting down the mirror in his hand, Sieg sighed, "I am different from other people. I know this. Now it is just confirmed that I am an outlier... The good news is that all human beings seem to be outliers, and I am just a special outlier among the outliers."

"How should I put it? I feel a lot more at ease."

I am a disaster and a monster.

Anyone who has anything to do with him will surely die afterwards.

The parents who raised him were burned to death, the village chief who adopted him and his family were also burned to death, and the dragon hunter who took care of him was eaten by a dragon - it was because he realized that he was not suitable to live with humans that Sieg took the initiative to stay away from places where people gathered.

Coupled with the ability to control fire that he had inexplicably learned, and his own regenerative ability that would allow him to recover as long as he was not dead - Sieg had long been certain that, except for monsters and aliens like him, there would be no one in this world who would accept him.

But now he is saying that all human beings are aliens like him?

This conclusion really gave Sieg a long-lost sense of closeness to humans.

8①④⑨ ling ③Qi Bar

"Thank you for telling me this, Miss Brunhilde."

[You’re welcome, Master Sieg]

[I am also very grateful for your cooperation. As your assistant, I should not order you around like this. However, out of consideration for your safety, I still made this somewhat offensive move. Even if I am punished by you, it is reasonable.]

"Why should I punish you? You did this for my own good and because you're worried about me, right?" Sieg laughed, "I don't care much about my body. I won't die anyway. And since you're worried about me, Miss Brunhilde, in a sense, isn't this just right for me... uh... it's called complementary angles, right? It's the concept in mathematics that if you put them together, they become complete."

[What you mean is that my behavior and your behavior complement each other? ]

"That's right, that's right."

【I see】

Brunhilde bowed slightly.

[Since Lord Sieg has such an idea, I will pay more attention to your health in the future. The suggestions of the 53rd contractor have been incorporated into the integrated calculation area of ​​the Dragon Slayer System. From now on, the action authority and scope of the auxiliary AI Brunhilde will be relaxed.]

In the second half of the sentence, Brunhilde's voice suddenly became somewhat stiff and emotionless.

(Did the Dragon Slayer System speak?)

Sieg was not surprised, after all, Brunhilde did say this occasionally, and when she said this, it meant that the Dragon Slayer System was temporarily taking over her communication module and thinking module.

Compared to this, Sieg is more concerned about another thing now——

[Skill system judgment: Fire magic - similarity with the records in the database 85%]

This sentence in the examination conclusion made Sieg snap his fingers, causing a cluster of flames to rise at his fingertips.

magic.

He knew this concept. It was said that every upper dragon had some unique magic, and middle dragons would also awaken magic after a long period of growth.

Sieg discovered that he could use fire when he ate a dragon for the third time and hunted a dragon for the third time, but he never thought of it as magic. After all, Sieg always considered himself a human being, and he had never studied magic systematically.

But if this is magic...

(Isn't the lightning of the dwarf Shenwei also magic?)

The lightning used by Kamui is the same as Sieg's fire. This is something both of them have confirmed, and their experiences are also very similar...

[Does Lord Sieg care about your magic? 】

Brunhilde asked out loud.

[If you are interested, there is a lot of information related to magic in the database. I can go with you and translate it for you - you probably can't understand the text on other planets, right?]

"......Um."

Sieg nodded awkwardly.

In fact, let alone the characters on other planets, he hasn't even recognized all the characters on his current planet. Some daily characters commonly used in life are okay, but he really can't remember those proper nouns, and it's really embarrassing to tell them out.

(But at least I know more words than that shorty Shenwei! That’s good!)

Shenwei was also illiterate because he had been crawling among piles of dead bodies and dead dragons since he was born, and there was no chance for him to learn to read.

In terms of martial arts, Sieg is probably inferior to Shenwei, but in terms of intelligence, Sieg believes that he is much smarter than Shenwei!

(But then again...)

(What exactly is [magic]?)

Looking at the dancing flames on his fingertips, Sieg had this question for no apparent reason.

13. Your ex’s special hobby

database.

Sieg has heard Brunhilde talk about this place many times. She said that the database records all the experiences of the Kreinhild so far, as well as the civilizations on every planet it has ever visited. It can be said to be an extremely huge information collection that contains intelligence on thousands of planets.

But Sieg had not been there for a month, because Brunhilde said that the place was temporarily inaccessible due to the damage to the Kreinhild, although its functions were not impaired.

And now, under Brunhilde's leadership, Sieg came to the [Data Room] for the first time.

only......

“Snoring~~~~Snoring~~~~”

After brushing his face and opening the door of the data room, Zigg heard a deafening snoring sound, and along with it came a smell of... cigarettes and alcohol?

what's the situation?

Why is there such a smell in the data room? Is there someone inside? But logically, there should be only him and Brunhilde on the Kreinhild.

While Sieg was still wondering, Brunhilde had already walked into the data room full of bookshelves. The layout of the data room was similar to the bookstore Sieg had visited before. There was a counter near the door, and opposite the counter were several tables. Further away were a large number of bookshelves that stretched as far as the eye could see!

After quickly walking to the counter, Brunhilde punched Sieg directly at his astonished look.
