Become a powerful shadow master in the new world

It would be better to die than to live in such a disgraceful way.

With this thought in mind, she was called out by him and taught a fighting method called "wisdom". She greedily absorbed this knowledge as if she had grasped the last straw.

Relying on the knowledge he taught her, she established the Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce in the original world to provide funds for Shadow Garden. Even after the fusion of the worlds, she made a name for herself under the banner of the world battlefield, and with the advantages in quality and price, she eroded the civilian market in the new world.

She thought that she could use this feat to tell him that she was useful and an indispensable member of the Seven Shadows.

But just over two months ago, her master, Shadow, suddenly summoned all members of the Shadow Garden and asked them to move the garden, which was originally in darkness, towards the light, leaving him alone in the darkness.

At that moment, she knew that they were abandoned simply because their master was too gentle.

If Shadow Garden is to go to the surface of the world, then now is the best time. During the adjustment period of the three worlds, all forces will use all kinds of dirty tricks in secret.

No one will check what happened during this period of adjustment, because this is about making enemies with most of the world, so no one will care even if a second-rate force appears out of nowhere in this world.

“The audience should act like an audience.”

How ironic! In the original world, they said this to the people living in the surface world, but in this new world, their master returned this sentence to them exactly as it was.

No one objected or asked the master to withdraw the order, because they were too weak, so weak that they were of no help to him at all.

There is no need to refute or question this.

In the original world, their Shadow Garden had been an enemy of their Shadow Lord. It was at that time that their Shadow Lord proved with facts that they were trash who could be easily destroyed if he wanted to. It was also at that time that the dignity of their Shadow Garden was shattered.

The Shadow Garden, which was able to fight against the cult that secretly ruled the world in the original world, is only a second-rate force in this new world. And their lord, the God of Shadow Garden, has only four people who are qualified to fight him even in this new world.

That's right, they were holding back. To their lord, he was one of the strongest in the world and no one could defeat him. But if they were included, even though he was still one of the strongest, there was a possibility that he would lose to the weak.

If there is no possibility of defeating him, the enemy will only show their claws in secret, and no one dares to show hostility to him openly. But they have become the weakness of their master, and the enemy will attack them madly in order to defeat him.

This is not without precedent. There was once a war in World 1, and the main forces involved in that war were demons, fallen angels, and angels.

The god of the angels was theoretically a powerful being of the same level as their master, but he was dragged down and perished together with the four devils of the demons. There may be various reasons, but there is no doubt that the angels held back the god, otherwise even if the god was weak, the four devils would not be qualified to perish together with him.

Although they look very cold, their masters are very gentle and will never abandon them just because they are weak.

He taught them how to fight and enlightened their minds. Even though their experiences had nothing to do with him, he saved them out of sympathy even though they were abandoned by their families and country.

In order to repay this favor and also for revenge, they established Shadow Garden. Most of its members are people like them who were abandoned by their families or countries after being possessed by demons.

But does it make any difference to him?

No. Everyone in Shadow Garden believed one thing: even if they chose to leave and not become enemies of the cult after being saved by him, he would still choose to fight and save more girls who were possessed by demons like them.

Can the Order defeat him?

Impossible. In the face of his absolute strength, the world will be saved by him, and the demon possessors will be healed and reborn by him.

Perhaps in the Lord's eyes, the so-called Shadow Garden's fight against the Diablo Cult is no different from a game.

But even though it was just a game, in the original world they had the ability to protect themselves in the game, and even fight against the cult, but now, they don’t even have the ability to protect themselves.

So it is only natural that they are abandoned. If their master is a bad person, they don't have to consider this. After all, they are more than enough to be cannon fodder. But unfortunately, their master is very gentle.

He hoped that they would take advantage of this opportunity of the fusion of the worlds to step out into the sunlight, rather than staying in the darkness until the Diablo Cult was destroyed. He would have to deal with the Cult and the possible darkness in this new world by himself.

"New, did you hear what the master said just now? If you did, let the intelligence team focus on investigating the situation of transportation routes and commodities in various countries around the world."

"I heard it clearly, Lord Gamma. I am notifying Lord Zeta to have the intelligence team infiltrate various countries to collect intelligence."

Holding back his own tears, Gama gave orders as if nothing had happened.

Just as Sid thought, Gama immediately understood what Sid said before he left.

"Gamma, think carefully about what I said to you before."

This sentence was telling her that there were indeed problems with the report just now, and the answer was hidden in the knowledge taught to her before.

This was his teaching style for her, preferring to give them hints rather than tell them the answers, letting them solve the problem themselves. They could also ignore it completely, and before the problem broke out, Sid would turn into a shadow to solve it for them, but this also meant that they disappointed him.

She recalled roughly what Sid had said, and then opened her eyes.

“If things are going too smoothly, stop and look behind you. Otherwise, how can you be sure whether your so-called smooth sailing is planned by others?”

Thinking about it carefully, she seemed to have taken the neutrality of Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce for granted. In the original world, Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce could control the world's economy and issue currency because countries needed them to circulate and develop the economy, so they had better be in the neutral camp, and they could only be in the neutral camp.

After the integration of the worlds, Mitsukoshi has a tendency to become a new world economic giant through its own advantages. It only needs to demonstrate a neutral stance to gain the trust of the other two world forces. But the question is whether the countries in the original world hope that the neutrality of Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce is neutrality between their worlds or neutrality among the three worlds. The answer is self-evident.

She took it for granted that Mitsukoshi's neutrality was due to the compromise between the countries of the original world, and that the same would apply to the New World, but she ignored whether the countries of the original world were willing to do so.

She believed that various countries had used some means on Mitsukoshi Corporation to some extent, trying to stab it in the back when it expressed its neutral position and tie it to their camp.

Although there is a possibility of destroying Mitsukoshi, it is very low. Without Mitsukoshi, the suspicion of various countries will not only cause the already established economic system to collapse, but how can they deal with the economic invasion of the other two worlds.

If she didn't know, their little trick might have succeeded. By then, Mitsukoshi, having lost its neutral position, would not be able to take action against the countries on the same boat no matter how angry it was.

But now that she already knows it, it's easy. Find out where the bombs are planted by various countries, and then solve them or even fight back.

"All I can do is take away the darkness from your path to light. And, Gamma, think carefully about what I told you before."

To correct, they were not abandoned by him. He simply intended to give without asking for anything from them. He still treated them as children who needed to be saved. It was they who unilaterally felt that they were abandoned.

Chapter 4 Nangong Nayue

"Qiangcong, wake up, school is over."

"Um... Huh, Sid, is school over already? Then I have to go. I'm going to be late for my part-time job."

The woman in front of him, who had just woken up and was lying on the table, had black hair, red eyes, old-fashioned glasses, and was dressed in rustic clothes. Her name was Aoi Asagi. She was a local resident of Genkami Island in World No. 2, and was one of the extra friends he had finally found in this school.

It is said that she was just an ordinary person with good grades before the world fusion, but after the world fusion, she was detected to have good magical talent, so she transferred from her original school.

The power of each world is different. In order to clarify the approximate strength, a new evaluation system has been derived. From bottom to top, it is divided into: D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS and Dragon God.

Unfortunately, even though she had good talent, with only a little over a year of practice, her strength was only C+. In this school that placed great emphasis on practical skills, even with her written test scores, her results were only ranked in the middle and lower classes.

"Are you busy lately? You're still so sleepy after sleeping all day. Luckily, Na Yue-chan doesn't have classes today, and the other teachers are not interested in you, otherwise you will have to review your mistakes."

"It's really busy. There were some minor problems at my workplace that couldn't be solved in a short time, so I had to stay up late every day."

"Is it really a small problem? I've never seen you spend so much time on a small problem that couldn't be solved even if you used to catch up on sleep during class."

"Don't worry, I can definitely get it done in two days over the weekend (and there's no point telling you). I don't have time to chat now. I'm going to work first. We'll come out and play when I'm done."

Seeing the girl in front of him pack up and leave in a hurry, Sid sighed.

The sentence in the middle was spoken in a very low voice, and she might have thought that Sid couldn't hear it clearly, but he actually heard it, and clearly.

Even if he was just a supporting friend he found himself, it was rare for him to express his concern for his friends, and he was hurt by being treated so perfunctorily. Although this concern was partly due to the fact that Aoi Asagi had been catching up on sleep these days, which resulted in his campus information not being updated.

After packing his backpack and picking up his wooden sword, he walked towards the school's training ground, ignoring the already empty magic practice area, and walked straight into the empty sword practice room.

He did not take out the wooden sword to practice swordsmanship immediately. Instead, he walked to the blind spot of the surveillance camera, took out a white crystal from the void, and then walked to the wooden man and swung the sword at the wooden man.

“Swoosh~Swoosh~”

Sid Kageno, in his setting, is a minor noble who has some talent but ranks below average in both written test and strength, and is a minor character who has no chance of inheriting the family property.

But after coming to this new school, both his ability and the passing score for the written test have improved a lot. His original score was at the bottom, which no longer met his criteria for being a supporting role.

So is there any way to improve his strength from the bottom to the middle and lower reaches while being qualified for a supporting role? The answer is to practice more. After all, a hard-working supporting role is still a supporting role.

But a new problem arose. He couldn't accept spending several hours every day on exercises that were completely useless and a waste of time just to maintain his character.

But the problem is very simple for him. He just needs to increase the amount of training in a way that others can't see (sure).

Just like now, on the surface he seems to be holding a wooden sword, but this sword is now secretly gathering a large amount of magic power, making the weight of the sword fluctuate back and forth between a piece of paper and a mountain, training his body, reaction and control.

Although it is not without disadvantages, for example, extra magic power needs to be allocated to reinforce the space. If one fails to control the power accidentally, the school may be destroyed at best, and the island may sink at worst.

But compared with the fact that he can practice to become a shadow master while playing supporting roles, this minor shortcoming can be completely ignored.

"Boo~hoo~"

Obviously, the weight of the sword had changed from a mountain to a piece of paper several times in just one second, but he was able to repeat the same sword-swinging trajectory every time with pure physical strength.

You can detect the change in weight the instant you do so and adjust the force of your sword swing so that the speed remains consistent from beginning to end.

No, the sword will slow down when it is 0.003 cm away from the wooden stake, and then it will start to retract the sword when it is 0.001 cm away from the wooden stake.

This was why, even though it was just the simplest sword swinging action and he didn't use any magic, it seemed as if he was using all his strength every time he swung the sword, causing him to be sweating profusely in just half an hour.

If you don't know the above, then in the eyes of outsiders, this is just a useless extra with poor talent but hard work who is training himself. Some dark-minded characters may even mock him and say that no matter how hard he tries, it is useless. Then a girl may stand up and say that it is not shameful to work hard, and after a series of events, she may fall in love with him - this is impossible.

The reason why he came to the training ground only after school was to avoid such things from happening. His efforts were to find a reason for his improvement in strength, not to ruin his role as a supporting actor.

If someone is suspicious of him by then, their doubts will be dispelled after watching this video. After all, Sid, the extra, is not a genius. Even if he is a genius, as long as he is not mentally ill, he will not waste several hours every day doing such meaningless training.

As Sid was thinking about this and swinging his sword, his pupils suddenly shrank and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He did not stop swinging the sword, but the magic power to change the weight of the sword and the magic to stabilize the space around him were quietly retracted.

He remained like this and practiced basic swordsmanship training which was meaningless to him for an hour and a half.

Be prepared, your face is visibly tired, your legs are weak from standing for two hours, and you are ready to fall. Okay, turn around, and then...

"Wow... then, then, then Yuelaoshi (teacher), why are you here?"

He fell backwards with a frightened look on his face, because after two hours of training, the already exhausted extra fell backwards.

At the same time, he let out a frightened scream, then recognized the teacher and subconsciously called out his name, but due to fatigue and the suppression of his teacher's identity, the opening was broken. The following rhetorical question used tremolo and active tongue to express nervousness. It was a perfect supporting performance. It would have been even better if there was a protagonist who trained with him standing next to him to contrast with him.

"I just got here, and the teacher should be asking you this question. Why aren't you home so late? Don't you know that non-staff members are prohibited from staying in school after school?"

Although it sounds far-fetched to say this, the girl in front of me with black waist-length hair, blue eyes, about 2 meters tall, and wearing a black lolita is indeed a teacher in this school. She is also the top magic attacker in World , basically the highest combat power in this island under normal circumstances, and has the title of "Witch of the Gap".

"Um... I'm so sorry, Teacher Na Yue, you know that I have poor talent. In order to pass the exam, I can only practice more on my own, but the practice field outside the school is too expensive, so I can only use the school's, so... Teacher Na Yue, please don't tell the school."

"Since this is your first time, I won't report you to the school. But this is just the first time. I will be the one to inspect the school from now on. You'd better find another place to practice."

"Hey!!! This, okay."

He pretended to be depressed, went to the corner, picked up his backpack and left.

"Also, things haven't been peaceful lately, so it's best not to go out at night."

Nangong Nayue reminded her before walking out the door.

Chapter 5: Shadow Funds and Demons

Walking on the busy street, thinking about what had just happened.

He and Nangong Nayue can only be said to have an ordinary student and teacher relationship, and they don’t have much intersection. But if you ask him to say who is the most trustworthy in the school, it is Nangong Nayue. After all... a puppet cannot go against its own settings.

Nangong Nayue is a puppet. Although she is usually very friendly to students at school, even if a student calls her Nayue-chan, she will only hit the student on the head with her fan, but this is just a setting.

He was very sure about this matter, because the depths of Nangong Nayue's eyes were empty and chaotic. Although she pretended to be sincere, there was nothing there.

If all these can only mean that she is a person who is good at disguising herself as a person with a cold temperament, then the fact that her body is made entirely of magic power is a confirmation. Although no one knows where the core is, Nangong Nayue is just a puppet.

He originally thought so, but, can puppets lie?

Although Nangong Nayue said that she had just arrived, he felt that she was there an hour and a half ago. If you think about it carefully, is a puppet with nothing to do standing there and watching him practice sword for an hour and a half sure that his brain is not broken?

Forget it, why should he think so much? It has nothing to do with him anyway.

As he was thinking this, a silver-haired figure hurriedly walked past Sid, and disappeared in just a few seconds.

"Is that... Gu Cheng? So fast, what is he hiding from?"

Sid recognized the figure. It was his older brother among the Akatsuki siblings who lived next door after they moved to Genkami Island.

"Bang!!!"

An explosion mixed with fluctuations of magic came from the direction where Xiao Gucheng had just come from, and the explosion caused panic among the people around.

"What happened? Why was there a sudden explosion?"

"I don't know, but no matter what, let's get out of here."

"That's right. If it's a demon, there will be no one to help seek justice if it's accidentally injured."

Although as a supporting actor he should just go with the flow and leave at this time, there are some supporting actors who are self-righteous and think they are quite capable and want to watch the fun or do justice.

Is he such a stupid extra? Is he?

He can be.

It was neither good nor bad, with just the right B- level strength. He also had a wooden sword on him. If he was lucky, he might be able to unlock a supporting role achievement. Plus, he was really curious, so he did it.

Unfortunately, when he arrived at the scene, he only saw two demons who looked like gangsters lying on the ground. It seemed that the matter was over and he had come there in vain if there was no wallet on the ground.

"Sniff, sniff, I smell it, it's the smell of money."

Sid's eyes became sharp and his gaze quickly locked onto the wallet lying on the ground.
