Became an Academy Villain 109

Chapter 109 – 18. The Road Not Taken (3)

“A rough plan has been drawn up. Hold on… I think I left it here. Wait a minute.”

“I’ll wait slowly.”

Sanya opened the chest of drawers by the bedside and pulled out a small notebook.
Every page he flipped through was densely filled with black letters.

After flipping through dozens of pages, she tapped the notebook with satisfaction as if she had found the part she wanted.
The contents, written in small but elegant letters, explained in detail the theory related to magical power transplantation.

“This part was also consulted by Professor Kim Jong-cheol, so there is probably no error at all. Would you like to read it?”

“Yes. I’m a professor of competency control… But it’s still better than not seeing it.”

[Magic Implantation and Control Theory]

The sea dragon’s orb, completely purified through continuous purification, functions as a kind of essence containing a vast amount of pure magic.
Of course, the homeostasis of the essence also seems to satisfy the conditions, and as a result of extracting some magic power, it was confirmed through repeated experiments that the entire amount of lost magic power was restored in up to 18 hours and 25 minutes.

From this point of view, it can be concluded that as long as the magic immunity function is sufficiently suppressed during the transplantation process, the sea dragon’s orb can be replaced with an essence.
However, unlike essence, which has been aged for a long time and has a unique wavelength for each body, the sea dragon’s orb is pure magic itself, so a process of forcibly adapting it to the body must be followed.
…

Content written based on various academic grounds and theories to the extent that I do not know how many papers I have referred to.
To be honest, if you only look at this part, Shiana admired the perfect logic to the point that she wondered if it could be transplanted right now.

“Did you use all this in a week…?”

“Yeah. There’s nothing to do in bed anyway, and if I’m going to do a transplant, I think I’ll need to build up the theory properly. How was it?”

“It’s not okay… Sagna, if you say something like that in front of other professors, you might get hit.”

In the past, there were relatively many research papers on topics such as temporary magical power transfer and restoration of damaged essence, but the concept of transplanting essence was not only unclear in theory, but also difficult to experiment with, so it was a field that had not been explored until now.

If Sanya’s experiment on herself is successful, it would be natural for her name to appear on the covers of all kinds of journals.

“But, it’s still not enough.”

However, theoretical perfection and success were strictly different matters.
There is no one who runs outside on a thunderstorm day because there is a 1% chance of dying from being struck by lightning.

Shiana was very worried about that.
The various variables that may occur during the actual transplantation process, the pain that affects the individual, and the theory and experience create extreme differences in many factors that cannot be controlled.

“Looking at this, we didn’t make assumptions about the reversal of magical energy, and we didn’t consider the case of too much magical energy due to excessive constancy when absorbing essence.”

“I can control the first one on my own, and the second one has already calculated the magic absorption rate of the orb, so there’s no need to worry. Shiana, I intentionally showed it to ease your worries, but it hurts to react like this.”

“…Then it won’t hurt…? I’ve been experiencing symptoms of hyperventilation, but I’ve finally calmed down.”

“Well, I mean, don’t assume the worst case. When transplanting, there will be a lot of auxiliary awakeners next to you, so it won’t go that bad.”

It was only after Sanya’s repeated persuasion that Siana relaxed her expression a bit.
Having lived for decades, she has felt it a lot, but she is also a person who cannot communicate.
I just have to wish you well.

“So, is the transplant fully confirmed for next Sunday?”

“Yeah. I deliberately asked for your understanding and missed a lot of other professors’ schedules, so it won’t be until then.”

Next Sunday…
Now there is only one week left.

Until then, please, nothing should happen.

My heart was beating extraordinarily today.
As if a hole had been pierced in his chest, a feeling of emptiness spreads through him every time he looks at Sanya.

“I’ll go now. Have a good night’s sleep.”

“Yes, yes.”

Cianna quietly walked down her dark-filled hallway.
After she left, only her silence lingered in her room.

Ray’s face was pale.
The pale pink eyes are not even focused properly, as if they have lost their way.

Her head was pointing this way, but it seemed that she was staring at something beyond me.

“Are you okay…?”

Even when I try to talk to her cautiously, she doesn’t even answer this time.
Maybe it’s temporary, but she’s completely closed her mind.

Twintails, which had been shaking vigorously, dangled like a corpse hanging on a rope with no light.
Had she not opened her eyes, she would have thought that she was really dead.

“Ray, I’m your helper, won’t you answer me…?”

Only then did she turn her head little by little at the word helper.
But apart from her pupils, who seemed to have barely regained their vitality, Ray’s body was still limp.

“…Get out.”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think that’s going to work. There’s a lot left to talk about.”

“Get out.”

I felt like if I left now, I wouldn’t be able to see Ray anymore.
It seemed that the drawing paper, already crumpled and crumpled in white, could be seen behind her.

So, despite Ray’s low warning to go ahead, I didn’t give in and asked her a question.

“Because I’m a helper, I’ll ask. Who is that woman?”

Pink eyes glaring at me as if they would kill me at any moment.
No, her eyes, whose thread veins had already burst with more than the limit of magic power, were stained with blood.

I’m sure you don’t want to answer.
I will bite my molars hard, strain her eyes and hold on not to speak.
However, hypnosis, which is deeply involved in the entire human subconscious, cannot be resisted in the end.

“…Sian. The agent who uses the wave that I told you about the other day. It must have disappeared half a year ago… Just reappeared.”

She exposes her shameful undertones.
The door to the heart that was forcibly opened by hypnosis makes Ray more open to what he says.

“How was your relationship with Xian?”

“We depend on each other. Every time my unnies bully me, they come to me, comfort me, listen to my worries… We didn’t talk much, but we were closer than other people.”

Why is a person with such a good heart now serving as a pawn for a group that follows the apocalypse?
A lot of questions arose, but the information that could be obtained from Ray was limited anyway.

What kind of character she was, what her usual appearance was.
Every time she talked about her plans, Ray was able to calm her down a little bit.
Her lively personality hadn’t completely returned, but she had at least brought her cool, low-key tone back to a level of composure.

“There’s nothing more to say. It’s really over.”

“Yes. Then… Take a deep breath and wake up.”

She took out a hypnosis app and made a simple sleep suggestion.
As soon as she lifted her trance, Ray’s eyelids began to blink slowly, and she immediately fell asleep.

How would Ray feel as he witnessed the scene where even her only hope, which she had been able to hold on to in her pain, had been corrupted?
She decided not to touch her memories anymore because simply erasing her memories would not fundamentally solve the problem, and she could unconsciously recall the painful memories just like before.

“Whoa… The conclusion will come out after we fight on Sunday.”

In her original work, she was a character that was only shown in fragmentary parts, but she feels the fact that everything in this world is alive and breathing one by one.

Maybe it wasn’t some kind of fate that Ray met her and me.
If it had proceeded the same as the original, her draft would have been devoured by Goryusin’s ability and left lonely.

Not that it’s bad, of course.
In the end, only when Ryu Shin-yi develops strength and completes the second awakening can he become an awakened person capable of facing the 3rd catastrophe.

As the wave ability is useful even in the second half of the original work, if Ryu Xin is prevented from duplicating the ability, what kind of butterfly effect may occur.

But maybe you can show some mercy.
Wouldn’t it be okay for her to reach out and hold her hand to a branch of the future that has already changed?

After all the battles, Leila will give a ray of light to Xian, who has lost her power.
What was the motive behind Xian’s fall, and what was Pantagruel’s purpose? It’s not too late to think about these issues after Xi’an returns to light.

“Goryushin. I think the time has come for you to be active.”

You said it was next Sunday.
It seems that the time has finally come to see the virtues of the main character.
