(The first one to acquire it becomes the master.)

Current Master: 【Ulan Bator】

“······!?”

Noa’s eyes were filled with shock.

Because this enchantment was the very reward she had been so desperate to obtain.

And there was one more thing.

A reason to be even more astonished.

‘Th-The trial’s reward was Kazan?!’

The identity of the enchantment.

The Hero’s Enchantment, ‘Kazan,’ is one of the top ten overpowered items among all the rare items in the <Chronicles of Arsen Continent>.

Back when she was a player of the game.

There was a rumor among the veterans of <Chronicles of Arsen Continent>.

‘If you can obtain the enchantment named Kazan, it’s like the game’s difficulty drops by one level.’

And that’s not all.

If you’re playing as a mage or sorcerer and manage to get Kazan, you can then play as a hybrid character like a magic swordsman.

That’s how much Kazan was the undisputed strongest enchantment, greatly boosting physical abilities.

‘And if a warrior gets Kazan······.’

It’s practically like starting the game with a cheat code. That’s why the community back then raised this question:

What if Ulan, the named character known as the Peak of the Warrior, were to obtain Kazan?

Just how strong could he become?

That was the gist of the question.

‘And······.’

Some veterans started experimenting.

But all attempts ended in failure.

It couldn’t be helped.

‘There were two reasons.’

One was because the method to obtain Kazan was unclear, and the second reason was that Ulan wasn’t a playable character.

Ulan was a named character who acted independently. Guiding his actions was absolutely not an easy task.

So it just faded away as a mere rumor.

It should have stayed that way······.

‘But it actually happened.’

A situation that had never occurred before.

Noa laughed bitterly.

Perhaps sensing something odd in the prolonged silence?

Ulan casually spoke up.

“Is it an enchantment you don’t know about?”

“······No. I know it very well.”

Enough to desperately want to obtain it.

Noa let out a deep sigh.

A sigh of resignation. Once the enchantment was engraved, there was no way to change its master.

‘But it’s fine.’

There are still many hidden pieces left in Arsen.

Even if they’re not as good as Kazan, there are surely treasures that can help overcome physical limits.

‘Next time, I’ll definitely get my hands on one.’

This incident made Noa realize something crucial.

Even if she keeps it a secret from others, she should be honest with Ulan and seek his cooperation. That way, something like this won’t happen again.

After firmly making up her mind.

Noa began her explanation.

“I’ll explain it to you now, so listen carefully. That enchantment is called the Hero’s Enchantment······.”

Though she said she had resigned herself, her voice still carried a tinge of envy.

On the path to the dormitory.

Two shadows, one large and one small, stretched long behind them.

Three days later, on Sunday.

The course registration for the new students began.
