"Senpai, are you saying there's someone else?!"
The moment Mash heard Mo Wang say there was another master, she immediately looked around vigilantly.
However, besides the black mud, there didn't seem to be anything else in this place.
"I never thought you'd make it this far." At that moment, where Salter had been standing, a man with a very full head of hair appeared. "This is truly beyond my plans, and beyond the limits of my tolerance."
When they saw that person, the expressions on everyone's faces were priceless.
"Professor Lev?!" Mash looked at the man above them in astonishment. The shock of seeing Lev here was far greater than seeing Mo Wang kill Saber with a single punch.
In that instant, Mash's brain practically short-circuited.
Although Mo Wang had said earlier that Lev was still alive, and might even be strolling through Fuyuki City, no one had completely believed him.
After all, with an explosion like that, the chances of even a top-tier magus surviving were extremely low.
And yet, the Lev who appeared now wasn't just uninjured; he didn't even have a speck of dust on him.
Professor Lev stood there, looking so out of place and bizarre.
"Professor Lev?" Romani stared in astonishment at the familiar figure. At this moment, his earlier suspicions were confirmed.
"Lev! Wait... Mo Wang, what are you doing? Let me go!" The moment she saw Lev, Olga Marie instinctively wanted to run over.
But she was held tightly by Mo Wang's arms, unable to move.
"Yo, isn't it Professor Lev? Long time no see. You're looking well-maintained." Mo Wang ignored the weak struggles of the Director in his arms. After all, with her strength, even if she used all her might, she couldn't even scratch him.
"Yo, Mo Wang. I didn't expect you to still be alive. I thought you'd have been blown to bits in the explosion."
"Haha, thanks to you. I didn't expect Professor Lev's bomb to be so powerful. I was just wondering where you bought it. Could you spare me some?"
As soon as Mo Wang said this, the Director and Mash beside him, along with Romani who had already expected it, were all in an uproar.
"Mo Wang! What nonsense are you spouting?! How could the bomb be Lev's..." Olga Marie glared at Mo Wang.
However, Lev just smiled and said, "It seems you like that bomb quite a bit. If you like it, I can give you the supplier's contact information."
"Eh, no thanks. To be honest, Professor Lev, using a bomb is really tasteless. As a magical genius, you could have at least used some kind of timed explosion magic, or even an alchemical explosive. What's with buying one from outside?"
"Sigh~ It seems you're completely different from what I imagined. If I had known, I would have found a way to take care of you before you came to Chaldea. What a pity. That day was the best opportunity."
Lev sighed, as if regretting something he hadn't done in the past.
"Eh, well then, thank you for not killing me," Mo Wang said, looking at Lev with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
"Lev... Mo Wang..."
Olga Marie looked at the two strangers before her, a pang in her heart.
And only Olga Marie could understand the content of their conversation.
Mo Wang had met Olga and Lev on a rainy night.
Unlike the other Mo Wangs, the one who had transmigrated to this world had no memories of this world.
No identity, no money, and no place to call home.
He had become a glorious—hobo.
Although he had hit the trifecta of top-tier identities—transmigrator, high school student, and hobo—a perfect protagonist template, the Mo Wang who had just arrived in this world didn't feel any of the world's love and dreams.
Even stray dogs on the street would bite him. The slaps from other hobos made him face reality.
Compared to him, even a certain rabbit squad lived a hundred times more comfortably.
At that time, Mo Wang felt that this world was completely meaningless.
[Since it's just something that exists in a game, maybe it's better if it doesn't exist at all.]
"Hey you. Want to come with me?"
At that time, Mo Wang had collapsed on a park bench from hunger. Even as the rain fell on his face, he didn't want to move an inch.
But then, Olga Marie's voice brought him back to his senses.
Olga Marie and Lev, who had just gotten off work, happened to be passing by the park when they saw Mo Wang collapsed on the bench.
Perhaps it was out of overflowing sympathy, or perhaps for some other reason, the two of them took Mo Wang back with them and arranged a place for him to stay.
What no one expected was that Mo Wang, just like in the original story, was later found to have 100% aptitude and was immediately accepted into Chaldea, becoming one of the reserve Masters.
And that was one of the reasons why Mo Wang always listened to Olga Marie...
"Lev! Was it really you?! Why?! Why would you do this?!"
Olga Marie's emotions collapsed as she questioned Lev.
However, Professor Lev maintained a faint expression as he looked at Olga Marie.
That look was like looking at a stranger.
"I did call Romani to the control room. And Olga, too. I even set the bomb right under her feet, but I never thought she would survive."
"..." Olga Marie was speechless.
No one could immediately accept the fact that the person they trusted most had betrayed them, especially since Olga Marie's mental fortitude had always been fragile under the heavy pressure of Chaldea's affairs.
"But you can't really say she's alive. After all, her body has been torn to pieces. Only her soul could perform the Rayshift she couldn't do when she was alive." Lev's perpetually squinted eyes suddenly opened, revealing an incredibly ugly sight.
His wide-open mouth was filled with shark-like serrated teeth. If this image were to be placed in Mo Wang's previous world, it would be impossible to replicate.
Lev's current appearance was undoubtedly that of a villain. It was hard to imagine that in other worldlines, this guy was a good person. "But once she returns to Chaldea, her consciousness will disappear."
"How... I'll disappear?"
Olga Marie was struck by lightning.
She collapsed against Mo Wang, her will seemingly completely shattered at that moment.
