chapter 25
And then (1)
Hwareuk-
light dispels darkness
The holy power that enveloped the whole body was captured, and only a small amount was left to drive out the demonic energy within the body.
“·······.”
Dense demonic energy leaked out from his side and shoulders and dripped.
When the black erosion disappeared, the affected area returned to a slightly bleeding wound.
The holy power that permeated the affected area was used as it was for treatment.
Although it is different from mana, it can be used like magic, so it was possible to heal wounds by attaching torn cells together.
When the blood stopped and the wound healed, he let out a sigh of relief.
It was a long night indeed.
‘I can’t use this often.’
Holy power.
The power of the Constellation.
It’s a powerful power, but it’s God’s power, not my own, so the burden on my body wasn’t small every time I used it.
If mana is just fuel, then holy power is like a nitro booster.
Instantaneous output is much higher than mana, but at the cost of engine life.
If you don’t want it to be short-lived, it’s a power you should use only when you really need it.
“Is it morning?”
Sunlight began to seep in through the windows of the central hall where the darkness had lifted.
Looking outside, I could see the sky with the sun shining.
I felt it was long, but I didn’t expect it to last all night.
“professor.”
Estelle came over and held out her hat to me.
It was only then that I realized that my head was empty, but it must have fallen out during a fight.
“Thank you. Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. I’m not hurt.”
The answering voice was calm.
Estelle was fine, and even though she used the torch that much, her magical power hardly diminished.
A magical power volume that cannot be compared to mine.
It was truly a talent that was closest to the stars.
I shook my head excitedly and inserted the revolver, but Estelle, who was staring blankly at me, said at once.
“I. I’ve decided.”
“What do you mean?”
Blue eyes with intent stared at me.
She took a step forward, looking straight at me.
“In the major selection period that comes after the midterm exams.”
Then, with a bright smile on her face, she declared to me.
“I’m going to choose the Great Mathematics.”
“·······.”
I will major in my subject.
Estelle said so.
Honestly, not bad for me.
Because the best genius in the first year will major in my subject.
From a teaching point of view, it can’t be a pleasure.
“I chose well.”
Sorry, I don’t know how to compliment politely.
So, that was the best compliment I could give.
I was about to swallow my words, but Estelle suddenly smiled and said,
“If I major in Anti-Mathematics, will I become the former professor’s direct disciple?”
Well···.
that’s how it is
In terms of the teacher-teacher relationship, the major is definitely closer to the direct line than the non-major.
I nodded in affirmation.
“Then, as a future direct disciple, I have a request for you.”
“What.”
“show me your face.”
Her eyes lit up seriously.
“Why is your face?”
“It’s strange that the student doesn’t even know the face of the master.”
It’s a pretty plausible argument.
I couldn’t help but worry.
Aside from keeping me nervous, for personal reasons I don’t like to show my bare face.
I don’t have a good impression… it’s because I’ve always been misunderstood.
Estelle narrowed the distance one step further as her thoughts grew longer.
There was a slight nervousness in his eyes as he looked up.
“I did well.”
“Well?”
“Professor, you helped me well.”
The voice is quite earnest.
“Can’t you show me…?”
“ha···.”
When it comes to that, I have nothing to say.
It’s true that Estelle helped me at a crucial moment.
After thinking for a while, I nodded.
“I get it.”
Leaving behind her widening blue eyes, she undid the collar she had put on.
I lowered the mask that covered the bottom of my eyes, and took off the hat that I was wearing deeply.
After being reincarnated like that, I saw Estelle with the first face that was revealed.
“ah.”
Eyes bathed in the light of the dawn sky shine red.
The expression on his face as he looked at me was blank.
“what···.”
And that’s what she said, looking at me as if possessed.
“You’re very handsome.”
“I see. I don’t like it because it looks weak.”
I don’t like my face very much because I look so saggy and even look weak.
In fact, there are many people who look down on me just by looking at my face, and I always covered my face because no persuasion worked on the battlefield.
“Certainly. I think it would be better to cover up.”
“why.”
“The kids won’t be able to concentrate in class.”
“·······.”
“Wow.”
She hovered around me in admiration.
Is my bare face so mysterious?
It was embarrassing, but I let it go for now.
How many seconds had passed, there was a commotion outside the central hall.
“Ugh! What are these monster corpses!!”
That disgusting voice came closer, and in an instant reached the entrance of the central hall.
Estelle pursed her lips unevenly and took a step away from me without a word.
Dada da-
Professor Skadi, who ran in with all sorts of fuss, screamed when he saw the half-destroyed hall.
“hehehehe! That’s Aragos! Why is a high-level monster here!?”
“Hey…Professor…I’m dying…”
And beside him was Cynthia, who seemed to have been dragged along.
The two of them looked around as if they were looking for the mastermind behind this incident, and found the two of us standing in a daze.
“what.”
The faces of the two who found me became the same round as Taiyaki.
“who are you?”
*
an hour ago.
Skadi, who escaped from the barrier restoration, returned directly to Helios Campus.
“Ugh…why is this school so unnecessarily big?”
As a matter of course, Helios cannot move into space to prevent terrorism.
It is said that Skadi, who flew in at once from the far, far outskirts of the dimension, must also walk to the campus.
As she grumbled and walked across the vast school grounds, she felt a feeble demonic energy mixed in the air and furrowed her eyebrows.
“What is it? What kind of Magi is there?”
This is an energy that shouldn’t be in school.
She immediately pinpointed the Magi’s source, and discovered that it had occurred on the first-year dormitory side of Capella Hall.
Has the witch appeared? how?
Scared and ran, Skadi immediately prepared for battle, but was stunned to see the scene there.
“What, what is this?”
The Witchbeast and the students were ‘playing’ together.
Some students have spider wolves to tumble back, while others snore while riding on Shelob’s back.
Even the magic beasts seem to enjoy it secretly.
There was nowhere to be seen of a ferocious beast that would kill a human.
“This is… what the heck…?”
As she panicked, a tired Cynthia approached, rubbing her eyes.
The shadows in his eyes were dark, probably because he had been using magic language all night.
“Professor Skadi…?”
“Hey. What’s going on with this?”
“That’s… Professor Yujin Kang’s event… but first…”
“???”
Cynthia explained in a hushed voice what had happened.
Kang Yoo-jin announced an event before the midterm exam, and the witch came out.
These monsters were often seen in the curriculum, and the students thought this was an event and immediately tried to communicate with the demon.
And the effect was great.
The students successfully communicated with the Witchbeasts and succeeded in subduing them without fighting.
Kang Yoo-jin’s lecture shined.
“Then…they don’t know that this is a real witch beast?”
“yes···.”
“·······.”
I think I know why Kang Yoo-jin did that.
Maybe it was to keep the kids from panicking.
And, there must have been a belief that the students who listened to the lecture would be able to train the Witchbeast.
Is it bold or reckless?
It was a tongue-in-cheek response, but it was more shocking that he expected this incident.
‘Is this the kind of authority you have…?’
It was the moment Kang Yu-jin’s evaluation leaned more toward the constellation.
After fixing the flowing cone hat, she decided to deal with the demons here first.
If you leave it like this, it won’t be strange when it’s four months.
Paperweight!
Small forged lightning awls pierced the monsters’ heads.
As the magic beasts who had precisely pierced their brains collapsed, bewilderment erupted from here and there.
“What, what? What are they doing?”
“Huh… I think he’s dead?”
“Looks like time’s up.”
Fortunately, the students seemed to think that Yujin Kang’s event was over.
Only then did Skadi hold out her hand to Cynthia, who let out a sigh of relief.
“Hey. Do you know where Professor Yujin Kang is?”
“Yes? Oh, no… except that he went to the Capella building…”
“That’s enough!”
Skadi listened to Cynthia’s words by ear.
He dragged her along and ran to the Capella coffin, eventually reaching the central hall.
There, she saw the corpse of Aragos, a high-ranking beast.
“what?”
I saw Kang Yoo-jin, who revealed his face.
“who are you?”
Dozens of question marks floated across her face.
What? Was there anyone like that at our school?
While Skadi was dumbfounded, Cynthia, who was breathing hard by the side, recognized Kang Yu-jin at once.
Because the clothes and eyes were exactly as she remembered them.
“Kang Yujin…Professor?”
“Eek!? That!?!?”
Skadi looked at him again with wide eyes.
Dark eyebrows and dark eyes full of melancholy.
Sharp but straight nose and jawline.
There really was no model.
“What’s your face…”
Skadi’s face was stained with astonishment itself.
That’s why Kang Yoo-jin’s face reveal was shocking.
The shock was even greater because I was usually wrapped up tightly.
“Professor Skadi.”
Yujin Kang approached Skadi.
Had he been overwhelmed by him bare-faced?
Skadi, involuntarily, took a step back from him.
“Welcome. Can I leave Aragos clean up?”
“Uh… yes?”
“I’m not feeling well. I’d like to rest if possible.”
He said, showing signs of exhaustion.
Oh, I put someone in need and said… No, why am I apologetic?
“Mu, of course. Other professors will come soon, so leave it to me.”
“thank you.”
He tapped Skadi’s shoulder.
Skadi’s body trembled.
“Cynthia.”
“Heguk. Yes, four. Professor.”
“Have all the demons been subdued?”
“ah.”
Cynthia exclaimed.
As expected, Kang Yoo-jin’s intention must have been correct.
“Four.
what’s this. Why is the hiccup coming out all of a sudden?
Cynthia’s face turned red with embarrassment.
“Nice job. Have a good weekend.”
He stroked Cynthia once and left.
Oh, should I wash my hair today…?
“·······.”
However, Estelle, who was following Yujin Kang, secretly saw Cynthia.
After solving the case with Yujin Kang all night, she sees Cynthia who came late.
sigh.
He smiled with a triumphant face.
The smiling face was filled with an unknown sense of superiority.
Then, towards Cynthia, who raised a question mark, he said it deliberately and vaguely.
“Goodbye, bitch.”
“yes···?”
Then Estelle left.
Watching her follow Yujin Kang, Cynthia had to ponder for a while about the meaning of the bird.
