She raises her hand towards my face and leaves it there, an inch away. Making a stop sign.

Looks to the side in disbelief.

"Never. Call our Almighty that. Only regard him as 'The Almighty'."

"I would've given you a punishment but since you are the one chosen by Our Almighty, I'll let it go."

The stupidness was too much to handle.

—Oh wait.

'Am I getting dumber while I stay here?'

My grammar as a university student got even worse.

Ha.

Why not just play along for now?

I get off the bed and stand up, stretching my muscles.

"Okay, so may I know more about the Almighty?"

"Humph! As expected of the Almighty's dog! You wanted to know more about your God, didn't you?"

'Humph! As expected of the Almighty's disciple! You wanted to know more about your master-'

"Ah.."

She realized what she just did.

I planted my hand on my face.

'At least try to not mix up your real and fake thoughts..'

I take a deep breath before getting to the point, clearly irritated from the delay.

Now,

'「NPC: ????? [Danger Level - Death] 」'

There's one thing that I know for sure,

'And that is just how strong this dark elf is despite acting without a presence of mind.'

While she was still bashing her head out from embarrassment,

"So, would you like to tell me more about the Almighty one?"

"Ah, yes!"

She replied, returning back to her completely oblivious and excited self.

"Ahem.."

She cleared her throat before beginning with a trace of weight being placed on her words as, after all,

It was her Absolute being that she clearly spoke about.

I needed to know a lot more about this 'being' who gave me this class, and how I still heard his voice during the tutorial despite nothing but the game systems AI, 'Nebula', watching me.

"Now, our ancient one, is a god who reigns over thunder."

"His name is #$%#$#%"

"Agghhh.."

I shield my ears after feeling the pain that she inflicted onto me while speaking.

"And, the reason why you were chosen was because you #$%%^%^"

"So, that he could-"

"Okay! Stop! Stop!!"

I fell on my knees and tried to recover from the aftereffects of the immense pain I was feeling.

"Hm? Is something the matter? Why are you on the floor?"

Despite my current state being like this,

"W-wait, you mean to say that you.. don't hear and feel that shock while you speak."

"No."

She felt nothing.

I was flabbergasted. How was it that-

No.

'What was it that made me feel this pain when I heard that information?'

Was it possible that there was something really strong trying to prevent me from hearing that information?

If so, 'Was it because of my low level?',

No—that would not make any sense.

'It wouldn't be logical for there to be a level-cap for something as simple as this.'

Then, that means that,

There's definitely more to this.

'In fact, this could be part of an exclusive hidden quest only available to me.'

"Well then.."

I grabbed the dark-elf's attention.

"Is there something that you would like me to do?"

I grinned, ready to take on any challenge.

"Yes,"

She smiled back.

"How about getting stronger?"

Ah.

I completely forgot about that.
