I believed that among the 496 principles, there was no superiority, but now there’s exactly one exception.
‘Let’s replace the 475th principle with a different movement to cut off the root.’
While talking with Hibris, Saetbyeol suddenly posed a question to me.
“Sis, can’t we bring this one out of virtual reality like me?”
Hibris’s eyes sparkled at those words.
I firmly said, “There’s no way yet.”
“Why not?”
“Adella, from the start, the brain map was built so intricately and independently that it couldn’t be distinguished from a human brain. But Hibris, right now, lacks a clear entity.”
“But that black cube is an entity, isn’t it?”
“That’s just an ASI cube set received from Wearsoft. If we must consider an entity, it would have to be me. If I die, your existence Hibris will also vanish from this world.”
“That can’t be…”
Hibris is still not a fully realized entity.
I comforted the downhearted Hibris by patting her back.
“When you live in this world, there’s no such thing as insurmountable answers. Especially in times like these. By the way, have you recalled a lot?”
“I tried the Kaizen World that the witch created.”
“Oh really? Was it fun?”
“It felt like becoming a god. I could die and come back to life, turn back time. After that… I think I remembered almost everything.”
Hibris smiled bitterly while Cheon Saetbyeol looked at her in confusion.
Remembering almost everything means she’s recalled all the things she’s done.
Regardless of whether her opponent is evil, taking the lives of many people is never a joyous affair.
I didn’t intend to linger for long, but our conversation had stretched on.
I moved straight to the main point.
“I already asked you this before, Hibris, but you probably won’t remember. Have you seen our mom?”
I showed her a photo of Seol-ah.
Looking at Seol-ah with her elegant long hair down, I recalled her soft voice and warm hugs.
She was someone who instilled confidence and courage in me, so that I could overcome any hardship in the world.
“Is this person really the witch’s mother?”
“Yeah. Is something popping up in your mind? Just say whatever!”
“It’s just that… she seems younger than the witch…”
“…”
Hibris touched on a point I was trying hard to ignore.
Unless she ages drastically like Professor Cheon, Seol-ah’s age is quite ambiguous.
When you think about it, Seol-ah passed away even earlier than my previous life.
Realizing that made a wave of embarrassment wash over me.
“Pfft.”
“Get out.”
[Adella has been kicked out of the Private Room.]
To hide my embarrassment, my voice unconsciously rose.
“Really, you don’t know anything? Not at all? You used to say you’d tell me everything!”
“Is that woman my mom? The one from my dream?”
“Dream?”
“Yeah. I think I had a dream where someone was petting my head, and it felt comforting. Somehow, I thought that person was my mom. Isn’t that weird? I don’t even know what my mom looks like.”
“Anyway, that’s all there is to it, right? The person who appeared in your dream didn’t say anything more?”
“I feel like we had a lot of conversations, but I can’t remember… I think they said everything was done for me…”
Holding onto a stranger won’t yield anything further.
I decided it was time to let Hibris go.
“Witch.”
“What?”
“I’m sorry for misunderstanding back then. I really disliked you at that time. You never treated me like a person every time we met… I ended up getting emotional.”
“Disliking me is only natural. Don’t sweat it. You probably won’t need to call me back. Just live your life well. If I contact you in the distant future, just think of it as the timing having come.”
“That means I would die then.”
“…? No, I’d just create a body for you. What are you thinking?”
“Ahhh…!”
Is it really possible for a rural bumpkin girl to become so detached after experiencing death once?
After parting with Hibris, I sprawled out in the sunny garden.
Based on the knowledge I accumulated in the Theory of Aura Studies, I tried to formulate a hopeful hypothesis again.
Erosion is an indeterminate existence made solely of pure mariposa.
Maybe every time I connect to virtual reality, the erosions get stimulated by something and come into contact with Seol-ah’s consciousness.
I rummaged through the Akashic Records, worried if Seol-ah’s traces remained within me, but it was all in vain.
Since it was confirmed that she wasn’t inside me, then she must be outside.
Personally, I’m not one to believe in souls, but in Adella’s case, isn’t there a possibility that Seol-ah’s awareness remains somewhere in virtual reality in some form?
[Adella: Sis, there’s a bee in your house! It looks like a giant hornet! Come catch it quickly!]
It seems it’s time to come out of the capsule.
Recalling the remaining exercise schedule, the future felt grim.
Today was the day to challenge a 40kg deadlift.
Why does the gym feel so unappealing on hot days?
“Ugh, I don’t want to train!”
I let out a yell to the sky in secret as I complained.

Children have started their summer break, college students have finished their semester, and office workers are tearfully heading to work as that hot summer arrives.
Na-me, despite saying she would undergo seclusion training, frequently updates her recent happenings on SNS.

In terms of 1RM, I’ve lifted twice my body weight.
Seems like doing fitness is pretty fun?

-Kya~
-Na-Me Poong-deng-i
-Aren’t you a bit wobbly, teacher? LOL
-How is she even strong with limbs that thin?
-Honestly, admit it. You used aura, right?
-I want to argue, but I can’t comment because it might break the seclusion training concept lol [♥:1]
-Anyway, as long as you don’t meet anyone, it’s seclusion training~
-What’s with the real-name system up there? LOL
-Na-me, we need a live broadcast instead of just V-tubeㅠㅠㅠ

It looks like the modeling turned out beautifully.
I borrowed the ‘Skiabona’ model which was often used in the Renaissance era.
The hilt is designed to protect the user’s hand while offering various casting solutions.
It’s so pretty. I don’t want to return it.

[👑 NoName has created a waiting room for the broadcast on 2053/07/05.]
[👑 The live broadcast is scheduled for 7 PM.]
Hello everyone, NoName here.
As I try to write a broadcast notice after 7 weeks, it feels strange.
Tomorrow, I’ll be traveling to France with the Robinson national team.
Tonight, I’ll share updates on training, albeit briefly.
I hope to see many viewers.

-Hurry back 🔥🔥🔥
-The only hope of Korea, NoName…
-Na-me, you trained hard, right…? Please, you must haveㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Why now? Why now? Why now?
-🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
-Under 500 in the three major lifts, Under Armour is forbidden, teacher!
-Wow, before the broadcast has even started, there’s already 5,000 waiting? No way LOL
In the changing room, Na-me wore a white functional t-shirt and black leggings.
All in all, it emphasized activewear with its black and white sporty fashion.
After completing a simple 30-minute warm-up at the gym, she set up cameras everywhere.
Na-me used her teeth to hold a hair tie, gathering thousands of strands of hair into one.
The scheduled transmission began around that time.

Lat pulldown is the most representative exercise, where you grab a horizontal bar suspended from a high point and pull it down using your lats.
The bar was hanging at a rather hopeless height.
Why isn’t there a gym equipment for kids?
With legs apart and unsteadily moving forward, I could jump and grab the bar with both hands.
Ding-dong-
Because the machine was set heavier than my weight, it made me look like I was hanging from the pull-up bar.
Honestly, using the lat pulldown machine for chin-ups isn’t a problem, aside from the slight wobbliness.
-LOL
-Your weight is so light it doesn’t come down, LOL
-That’s just too cute, haha
-Na-me, is this really how it is?
-Is this person being punished?
“This is how it’s supposed to be. You guys are too impatient.”
I securely positioned my legs under the seat and pulled with my legs.
My body slowly began to lower, allowing me to barely sit on the seat.
Clunk-
I tightly fastened the safety belt that I had previously set up around my waist.
“Don’t laugh. This is how it should be. I can’t use gravity manipulation magic every time I do this. Plus, if I slip, I could bounce upwards!”
-Using a safety belt for a lat pulldown, LOL
-You could bounce upwards, LOL
-Teacher, if that’s the case, why not just do weight pull-ups instead?
-This is just crazy, LOL
Let’s not worry about how everyone is looking at me.
I made sure to straighten my back and lowered my elbows vertically.
Ping!
“Uh oh?”
The safety belt that had been problem-free for two months suddenly came undone.
My body started whoosh and I soared into the air.
With the situation precarious enough that I could hit my legs on the chair, I instinctively stretched my legs out and landed softly on the chair.
Thump-
“Aww, that startled me.”
This wasn’t the kind of thing I meant to show.
I got off the chair, looking sadly at the now tattered safety belt.
The viewers were all bursting out in laughter.
