chapter 35
Episode 35
The people on the left gossip.
Disbelief was implied in half the eyes looking at me.
Naturally, the other half of the cadets, who witnessed the last elixir class, sent infinite trust.
“I see a lot of suspicious eyes.”
“That’s right… dealing with mana.”
“Isn’t it strange to believe?”
“It has no choice but to be.”
He cleared his throat and added a long sentence.
“Until now, 15 years later. Humans have benefited from mana, but they don’t know anything about it.”
It is an established theory in the academic world that even science cannot explain it.
That’s right.
Man-made science cannot measure or explain mana derived from nature.
But that’s it.
Only I can explain.
Because I read it in writing.
“Then let’s start class. Cadets who don’t want to listen before that can leave.”
There was not even the slightest movement.
I nodded my head in satisfaction and the class began in earnest.
‘This is also a class for Shinnayul.’
There are clear limits to discovering mana with modern technology.
No, correct me. Science can never prove mana.
That was the reason why the mana measurement was poor.
I don’t know exactly what mana is.
So colorless and odorless. Mana, which had no form or composition, could not be proven with a scientific approach.
But it wasn’t that there was no way.
“Today’s lesson is the secret of mana, but to be precise, it’s an experiment to find out where mana is hiding in the body.”
A question mark rises above the cadets’ heads.
I took care to solve the curiosity.
“Do you have any questions before class begins?”
As soon as the words were finished, everyone raised their hands.
I pointed to Cha Hyun-woo.
“Ask a question.”
“Instructor, do you think you can accurately pinpoint the location of mana?”
“It’s similar.”
“I’m sorry, but mana doesn’t stay in a certain place. You don’t seem to know that.”
Cha Hyun-woo’s tone felt calmer than before.
The sparring the other day worked well.
I listened, singing joy in my heart.
“Each person has different mana, and depending on the attribute, it is inevitable to be distinguished once more. The location is also the same.”
“Know.”
“…then you know how reckless the instructor said.”
“I’ll prove that with this experiment. Any more questions?”
Cha Hyeon-woo’s head went down heavily.
Taking it as an affirmation, he was questioned by other cadets.
-Flap and flap
Shin Na-yul flapping her hands from side to side.
It looked like a penguin.
“Tell me.”
Receiving my glance, she stood up and stammered.
“Joe, this is a bit of a snobbish question, can I?”
“Does not matter.”
“If the experiment succeeds, will humans become stronger? Even scary monsters can be defeated in one shot…”
Was the question too childish? Small laughter escapes from the cadets.
He added words as if to make an excuse.
“Why, why are you laughing? You guys are curious too.”
“That… To be honest, I don’t think there’s anything good to know about the location of mana, so it’s useless if it doesn’t help humans. Don’t you think so too? Isn’t it…”
“Right. Good question.”
I answered seriously.
It was a good question that caught me off guard.
“All research must be practical. Experiments without any benefit are meaningless.”
I turned and scribbled out the chalk.
After a while, the names of four people were written on the blackboard.
excitement.
The names of the other 3 extra cadets.
The main characters of the name tilted their heads.
“You know what these cadets have in common? I’ll give you a piece of candy to whoever gets this right.”
Among the cadets, Shin Na-yul smiled brightly.
At the sight of the eyes rushing back to her, she blushed and lowered her head.
“I’m sorry, ah…”
I cleared my throat and then opened my mouth.
“Big. Anyway, does anyone know the correct answer?”
Shin Na-yul raised her hand.
She smiled, sure of the correct answer.
I wanted to make up for the mistake I just made.
“I’m a superman!”
“That is true of all cadets.”
“ah.”
Missed.
Unexpected laughter ensues in the classroom.
Among them, Naeun Sol, who maintained a calm attitude, spoke.
“It’s non-attribute magic.”
“That’s correct.”
Naeun Sol shrugged his shoulders as he received the exclamations that erupted from the surroundings.
It was funny to see Shin Na-yul applauding the seal while watching Naeun-sol.
“As expected, it’s the third-class theory.”
“…… Second place?”
“Yes. As expected, the theory is second place.”
“what……”
Naeun-sol, who had been shooting hard, changed the topic.
“So, why does non-attribute magic come out of nowhere?”
“Because it’s deeply related to the experiment we’re going to do this time.”
“What point?”
He responded with a dry tone to the nonchalant question.
“The attributes of non-attribute superhumans that will manifest in the future can be foreseen in advance. Also, the timing can be advanced.”
Unlike me, who was indifferent, the cadets looked quite surprised.
I looked sideways at Shin Na-yul’s reaction, the main cause of this class, but he only tilted his head.
It seemed that he still hadn’t noticed what I was saying and why his name came up.
Attributes consist of 5 things:
Water, fire, earth, wind, light.
Mine Darkness is also included in the attribute category, but this is considered a mutation.
The non-attribute Superman puts a lot of effort into the stars to bring these attributes to bloom. Naturally, there are no results.
At this point, patience is the only answer.
Of course, things will change after this class.
“First of all, we have to find the hidden mana somewhere in the body. Before that, I’ll set up three hypotheses.”
I grabbed the chalk again and moved my hand busily.
“First and foremost, the first hypothesis.”
1. Mana reacts to mana.
“Mana’s help is essential to knowing where Mana exists. Otherwise, you’ll never find Mana. And second.”
2. Mana is contained in blood.
“In the body. It is hypothesized that it was also contained in the blood. Finally, the third.”
3. Mana is very sacred and sensitive at the same time.
“You can’t be hasty. In order. And you have to deal with mana very calmly.”
In fact, the relationship between blood and mana is an idea worth thinking about at least once.
However, to prove it, you have to go through a fairly complicated process.
“By the way, I need an assistant for this class—”
“Me!”
Before he could finish talking, Shin Na-yul voluntarily stepped out again.
why are you so passionate
“Come out. Shinnayul.”
Shin Na-yul walked out boldly.
I was laughing so hard at what was so good.
“… What is that?”
The look in his eyes suddenly changed when he saw the syringe.
Shin Na-yul said while taking a step back.
“I don’t think it will work because I have acrophobia.”
There is no such setting in the novel, so what kind of novelty are you talking about?
“Stop talking nonsense and come quickly. I’ll give you an extra point.”
“I don’t really need it…”
“I’ll give you some candy.”
“That’s not a pig…”
Even at a glance, Shin Na-yul was terrified.
After a while, Shin Na-yul held out her right arm.
-Suddenly
A terrible convulsion was occurring in the right arm that was stretched out, as if he really had acrophobia.
I gave him a word of reassurance while holding his arm.
“Don’t move. It’s tough, but it might sting you.”
“T-Does that make you nervous even more?! Are you partly scaring me?”
“I’ll say it without words.”
“What is that! Please be gentle sir. Please…”
“I’ll try.”
Won.
I put the needle in with super concentration.
“Kkeuhu…! Kkeaang!”
As soon as the needle pierced the vein, Shin Na-yul stomped her feet with her teeth clenched together.
“It hurts! Teacher! Be gentle! I’m dying! Please be gentle!”
“It’s tough.”
After drawing some blood, I sterilized the inside of my elbow.
“Ouch… it stings. I think I was bitten by a vampire.”
“Then you are dead.”
“That’s why it hurt like death! Please be gentle with me…”
It sounds like a gun shot.
I splattered Shinnayul’s blood on the microscope bed glass.
And after observing and enlarging it, it was interlocked with the hologram screen so that the cadets could see it at a glance.
“Everyone, pay attention to the screen. The zoomed-in view of the blood is as shown.”
It was normal blood with nothing unusual so far.
“·······?”
Shin Na-yul’s expression looking at the screen was not very pleasant.
He must have been quite shocked by the magnification of his own blood.
“Now, the second hypothesis has been established. Superhuman blood has been displayed on the screen, followed by the first hypothesis. Mana responds to mana. We will test it.”
I called Naeun Sol, who looked at me with an exciting look.
She slowly approached my call.
“What can I do?”
“Concentrate pure magical power into your fingertips and wait for a while, infuse them with attributes.”
The light blue color gradually changed to red due to the fire attribute.
“Keep pure magic and elemental magic at half the rate.”
Naeun Sol followed my words straight away.
“Place your fingertips on the floor glass, leaving a distance of 3 cm so that they do not touch.”
In this way, the magic power of the fingertips must be injected so that they can react with the blood.
Naeun Sol listened to my words and blew magic for about 20 seconds.
“No response?”
Unfortunately, there was no noticeable response.
I said it like it was natural.
“It has to be. This time, Cha Hyeon-woo. You guys should come out.”
He told Naeun-Sol exactly what he had just done, and Cha Hyun-woo immediately carried it out.
The process was the same, but the results were different from Naeun-sol.
“uh!?”
Observation On the enlarged screen, the light slowly began to shimmer.
It was procrastinating lively, as if it were life.
“Is it suddenly shining?”
“Instructor, is that the original!?”
“I just stayed quiet when Eunsol was there. What is it?”
One by one, the cadets looked at each other with bewildered eyes.
Then, as if he had noticed something, he sighed.
“no way….”
“Instructor, that attribute!”
I saw Shinnayul, the master of blood.
She tilts her head as if she couldn’t grasp the situation by herself.
“Light attribute magical power is a special attribute that only appears in one person in a thousand. But there are two cadets with the light attribute in one class.”
The cadets startled.
I still met Shin Na-yul’s eyes.
“Congratulations. Shin Na-yul. Your elemental magic must be light.”
The pupils of the dumb Shin Na-yul gradually widen.
Her open eyes showed no sign of closing as if time had stopped.
This is the moment when light shines in her life.
