Chapter: 232

Hearing Yiruki’s response, the corner of Nade’s mouth went up, and he looked towards Shirone.

‘He’s an incredible guy.’

And considering he was his friend as well, his heart silently gave him a thumbs up.

‘Congratulations, Shirone.’

Unlike the students who couldn’t hide their excitement, Ethella had a serious expression.

The difference in their score was tiny, but the difference in their mental speed was huge.

‘Yiruki tried to reach the end of the number. To have gone beyond that…?’

There was the notion of infinity.

The greatest axiom that could never be reached by simply being pushed to the limit, far beyond the number.

Some call such a thing god, and some others call it All Creation.

‘Humans cannot become infinite. But… They can reach it.’

The emotions contained in these sentences were the sorrows that Shirone felt last night.

‘How long have you known?’

Realizing the finite barrier of numbers, Shirone spread his mind into the Infinite Realm.

Indeed, humans could reach Infinity, but from then on… They were no longer human…

‘Was he really planning to leave?’

Mages referred to this phenomenon as the ‘Immortal Function.’

And Ethella knew another name for this occurrence. A name that came from the monks. 

‘Nirvana [涅槃] ‘

It was not a level that an ordinary person could reach…

But it was also something that shouldn’t be reached for in the first place.

Tears welled up in Ethella’s eyes.

‘No, Shirone. Humans should not recklessly embrace infinity. No matter how glorious one may seem, no matter how brilliant one may seem, the moment you enter Nirvana, your existence…’

‘Will crumble away and dissipate.’

Only high monks, who realized the world’s impermanence through long asceticism, laid down everything and entered the world of Nirvana. But Shirone was still only a 17-year-old boy.

He had a bright future ahead. Infinity was a dangerous and futile venture.

‘Right, seeing as how it ended with him only losing consciousness, it doesn’t seem like he completed the journey. However, if he actually did enter Nirvana…’

Then even Ethella didn’t know what was next.

The only thing she knew was that she would have to live the rest of her life repenting for Shirone. JrNovels.com
