A Reincarnated Professor at the Constellation Academy

Anomalies and Omens (3)

Time has passed, and the cool spring breeze has become the season of warmth.

Professors and students are both busy for the upcoming midterm exams, but today’s Helios is unusually quiet.

The reason is because of the summoning order to restore Helios’ barrier.

As Laniakea’s power weakened, the barrier surrounding Helios also weakened, and most of the professors were recruited to supplement it.

I had to go on a business trip to the outskirts of a faraway dimension, but the professors’ faces are not dissatisfied.

Some Constellations also attended the restoration of the barrier, and that was because it was a golden opportunity to meet the Constellations.

That’s why, not only professors who doubled as apostles, but also professors who didn’t, no one refused the summons.

Except for one.

“Didn’t Professor Yujin Kang come?”

“…Yes. Even if he had himself, he wouldn’t be of much help.”

To Roshua’s question, Skadi answered with a sullen face.

I expected to attend, but Kang Yoo-jin unexpectedly announced that he would not attend.

She remembered a conversation she had with him a while ago.

‘Aren’t you going to restore the barrier? why?’

‘Even if I go, it won’t help. There’s no particular reason to go.’

‘What’s wrong with a nobleman with a lot of magic? Besides, if you go there, you can meet the constellations too?’

‘No work.’

Kang Yoo-jin’s intention did not change even after Skadi repeated it.

He was a keeper when he spoke, and he really fell out of the call.

“There must be a reason.”

“Hmph. What’s the reason?”

“The person’s magic power is low…”

“Wouldn’t that be the case?”

Are you low on mana? Is that Yujin Kang?

Skadi snorted inwardly.

It was Kang Yoo-jin who overpowered him with a single word.

It was absurd to say that he had such a superpower without the help of an artifact, but his magical power was small.

And, Yujin Kang added these words at the end.

‘And, there must be at least one person to look behind.’

someone to look back on.

That was something a hunter with an eye on a raid would say.

Why would Helios say such a thing?

His expression was more serious than expected, to say he picked it up arbitrarily.

“Isn’t there something odd?”

“I’m talking about my sister, but Professor Skadi, please don’t have the habit of rushing…”

“Who said it was sudden acceleration!”

Seriously counting your intentions, but being overly immersed!

Skadi’s rampaging tail stood up.

Roshua covered her ears and the professors around her shook their heads excitedly.

Skadi, who was angry like a cat, was the number one object to be avoided by professors.

The only one who dealt with him was Roshua, but his sighs were increasing day by day.

“Stop talking about it, let’s focus. It looks like it’s starting soon.”

The barrier stone of the altar began to glow.

At the same time, the stars in the sky were colored with light and began to descend to the ground.

The descent of the Constellation.

The eyes of the faculty watching the scene were full of awe, but Skadi had no interest in that.

Her mind was filled with the last words Kang Yoo-jin left behind.

‘Come to think of it, that person always goes somewhere…’

Kang Yoo-jin’s schedule is so murderous that even Skadi sticks out her tongue.

There is no time to rest even for a moment, and except for sleeping time, he always wanders around somewhere.

If you went to the border area or the winter forest, I understand.

However, he was also shown wandering around the school from time to time.

Of course, as Yujin Kang, there must be a reason for everything.

However, there were many corners that I couldn’t understand that Kang Yoo-jin, who was obsessed with efficiency like a ghost, was doing something that had nothing to do with such training or research.

‘As expected, there’s something.’

Kang Yoo-jin has a good head.

Besides, even if it’s just a heart attack, isn’t he a person suspected of being a Constellation?

If you do something dubious, there will most likely be hidden intentions.

Skadi’s tail waggled left and right as she was immersed in thought.

“I want to go back too.”

“Yes??”

“The professor tells the president.”

“Now, wait a minute…Professor Skadi!”

If Skadi falls out here, the gap will be huge.

I was prepared to die and tried to grab the tail, but Skadi had already disappeared with space magic.

Roshua, who was left alone, muttered with an empty face in the world.

“I want to kick school…”

Helios Calibration.

Today, when all lectures were canceled, the school was enveloped in silence.

Occasionally, attendants and maids came and went, and the students all locked themselves in the dormitory or library and did not come out.

However, even in such a school, there was the only place where people were alive.

The ‘Capella Hall’, commonly referred to as the 1st year hall, was the only place where Kang Yoo-jin’s lecture room, which did not participate in the convocation, was located.

He quietly continued his lecture even today, when there was a group break.

For him, who did not participate in the summons, today was just an ordinary day.

“…Look at the magic language here. According to the explanation on page 76…”

A strong and solid voice resonates in the classroom.

I don’t know Yujin Kang, but in fact, his voice was quite popular among female students.

It has a husky yet good resonance, so when you listen to it, it feels like your ears melt.

However, there are many people who burn their passion for learning more than that.

Kang Yoo-jin’s class was a lecture with a lot to learn more than his voice, and its freshness is also unique.

A student’s job is to learn.

They focused on the lecture so as not to forget their duty, and Cynthia was included in it.

“So, is there a student who can explain the common magic language code of this ‘spider wolf’ and ‘Shlob’?”

When he asks a question, hands are raised here and there.

Among them is Estelle, who is leaning forward almost to the upper body and waving.

Wouldn’t Estelle get caught in my heart?

Cynthia timidly raised her hand.

“There. The backmost row.”

However, Yujin Kang pointed out Cynthia, who was in the corner.

Startled, Cynthia jumped up from her seat.

“Yes, yes! This is Cynthia Westerlund!”

“Answer me.”

“That…just set the alpha value of magic power to -6.7…!”

“Correct answer. I’ll give you 1 shop.”

shop.

At those words, the attention in the classroom focused on her.

In the eyes of Estelle, who was sitting in the frontmost seat, even lasers were on the verge of appearing.

“Sit down.”

“Yes, yes…”

He sat down, but his gaze on her remained.

After Jason, the mixed gaze of enemies disappeared, and the gaze now was only a gaze of pure envy and jealousy, but Cynthia was still burdened with such a gaze.

“…Then, today’s lecture will end here. And, there is another notice.”

He said as he lifted up his bag.

“I prepared a small event in preparation for the midterm exam. It is related to the subject, so if you solve it, you will get extra points.”

“What is an event?”

“You’ll find out soon.”

He left only meaningful words, but did not give an exact answer.

Finally, I looked at my watch, and as soon as I checked the clock at 4:00, I left the classroom with a sharp knife.

“… No. It’s not an assignment, it’s an event?”

“Is this the true story of a professor who goes without telling you what he is doing?”

Sighs mixed with resentment poured out here and there, but Kang Yoo-jin did not return.

In the end, accepting the cold reality, the students left the classroom one by one, and Cynthia also left the classroom with her bag.

All the students leaving in groups of two or three gathered together and headed to the library or dormitory, but Cynthia walked alone holding her notebook.

Even though the bullying was gone, it was still because I had no friends…

“Is this enough…?”

The place she arrived at was a small garden in the corner of Capella Hall.

It is a place where people do not come because there is nothing to see in a remote place.

A place where the popularity of the place is almost wiped out by evening.

Cynthia, whose gaze was burdensome, enjoyed visiting this place.

“Now. Come out.”

When Cynthia opened the bag, a small monster came out.

It’s a reduced form of a wyvern, but it’s not a real beast, it’s a chimera with the same characteristics.

It can be obtained at the Alchemy Room in Rhodes, but the price is so high that Cynthia, who is in a bad situation, had to get rid of her savings.

Thanks to that, she had to eat only the cheapest omurice for the time being, but she didn’t regret it. Because she really liked this subject.

“Yongyong-ah. Come here.”

Wyvern is smart and understands most of the magic language.

The difficulty of communication was so high, but he followed Cynthia’s words exactly.

It was short and concise, but it was a neat magic word without a single noise.

It was a huge achievement compared to the period of learning.

“Let’s practice step by step from what we learned today.”

The progress I’ve learned so far is the interpretation and communication of the master language, which includes tunnel worms, spider wolves, and intermediate masters, Shelob.

In order to get an A or higher on the midterm exam, you will need to understand Shelob’s magic language, which is highly difficult.

It was difficult, but I didn’t give up.

‘I don’t want to disappoint you.’

I want to repay the professor’s praise.

With one thought, her review began.

Cynthia raised her magical energy and began to compose sentences in Shelob’s demonic language.

Before long, a giggling sound unique to spiders flowed from the purple magic power.

“Yong-yong-ah. After flying over there and passing through the forest…”

-Piruru?

“So what do you mean…”

-???

But the process was not easy.

Maybe it’s because of the language system of the middle-level monster, but it’s not easy to communicate compared to the lower-level ones.

Yong-yong, tilting his head and wandering around, is proof of that.

“Whew…”

Time passed, and the sun slowly disappeared over the horizon.

In the evening when the streetlights were turned on one by one in the long dusk, Cynthia sighed softly.

“I was wrong today too…”

Yongyong was sleeping curled up on top of her head.

Around Cynthia, petals picked from the park were full.

The original purpose was to make a corolla by picking flowers, but it was difficult to communicate, so I drew a circle around her and dropped the petals.

“It’s pretty, but…”

I’m far short of my goal.

Sighing, she remembered the Estelle she had once seen through the classroom door.

The brilliant talent that produced results beyond what was learned on the spot.

‘That kid would do something like this in an instant, right?’

envy. that dazzling talent.

If I had that kind of talent, I’d be able to break down the walls I feel in an instant.

I opened the bag with a futile imagination.

I’m thinking of going back to the dormitory at this point today.

If it’s too late, the supervisor will scold you again…

“Are you thinking of quitting?”

“Aww!”

At that time, Cynthia jumped back at the sudden voice.

When she turned around, Yujin Kang was standing there looking at her.

“Kyo, Kyo-gyo Professor…? How is this place…?”

“Is it wrong that I’m on campus?”

“Oh, no! It’s not strange. Yes…”

He answered without mercy, but there was no change in Kang Yu-jin’s expression.

He said while looking at Yongyong above Cynthia’s head.

“Again, are you going to stop?”

“Ah…yeah… After all, it’s not easy to be an intermediate level witchbeast…”

He lowered his head and squeezed the hem of his skirt.

I just wanted to show you what I’m good at…

It was embarrassing to have shown a mediocre appearance, so it was difficult to raise my head.

“Raise your head.”

“Yeah···.”

“There is no problem with your magic conversion. The problem is your personality.”

“What is your personality…?”

Cynthia tilted her head.

What else is it about personality, not magic power?

“You don’t have a pulpit in your communication. Intermediate witches have a higher rank than lower ranks. You have to have a stronger tone than lower ranks, but you don’t, so it sounds like you’re mumbling.”

Kang Yu-jin played back the magic language he had created.

As expected, the feeling was subtly different from the sentence Cynthia made.

Would you say there is more strength? A light flashed in her eyes.

“All right, I’ll try again.”

Adjusting the mana, and raising the language again.

Add force to pronunciation and emphasis to tone.

Just as at work, when a superior explains in a clumsy and creepy tone, Yongyong-i couldn’t understand Cynthia’s intentions for that reason.

When I adjusted it while being conscious of that part, I felt a distinctly different pronunciation from before.

“Ah, did you understand?”

-Piruru.

This time, Yongyong’s reaction was quick.

It flew around the park like a dart, plucking little flowers and putting them one by one in Cynthia’s hair.

So, in the past, a corolla was made of flowers stuck in the hair, not by scattering petals.

“I did it, I did it…!”

“In demonic language, pronunciation is as important as communication. Pay attention to mana tuning and fix that unhelpful personality. Mana tuning was excellent.”

“yes···.”

Kang Yoo-jin turned around like that.

As if the reason I stayed here was purely to take care of her.

Seeing him turn his back, Cynthia suddenly called him to his feet.

“I…Professor!”

“Well?”

“Professor… do you like talented people?”

Yujin Kang turned around again.

The eyes looking at her had the meaning of ‘why do you ask such a thing’.

“What is the purpose of your question?”

“I-I just… I think all professors are like that. I just said it out of curiosity hahahaha…”

“·······.”

Watching Cynthia caressing her cheek awkwardly, Yujin Kang was silent for a moment.

“If you don’t have talent, can’t you kill a demon?”

“···Yeah?”

“The number of kills will only decrease, but you will be able to fight the demons anyway.”

“That…isn’t it?”

“That’s enough. I don’t care about anything else.”

Cynthia opened her mouth blankly.

Because I didn’t expect to hear such an answer.

His words that he does not discriminate whether he has talent or not.

It sounded like a nice lie to hear, but there was only sincerity in his voice.

“·······.”

Origin, status, and talent.

His attitude of treating everyone equally without discrimination.

It was a treatment she had never experienced before.

Maybe that’s why, for some reason, the part of my chest that I tightly gripped was tingling.

“then···”

However, Yujin Kang’s voice suddenly stopped.

Then he looked at one side with sharp, raised eyes.

“Cynthia Westerlund.”

“Yes, four. Professor.”

“Go back to the dormitory soon. It’s late today.”

“Uh… I see.”

It was sudden, but it wasn’t particularly wrong, so I shook my head.

In fact, it was time to be scolded by the dormitory supervisor if I was a little late.

-Piruru…

I put Yongyong back in my bag and walked back to the dormitory.

“what?”

However, a faint but foreign feeling mixed in the air I inhaled.

A sharp tingling sensation, like stabbing your throat.

“… Magi?”

I stopped for a moment and took another deep breath, but this time nothing caught me.

Is it because of the mood?

I started walking again and tilted my head.

For some reason, the event Kang Yoo-jin talked about today was a concern.
