Chapter 83 – 15. Reverse Heaven (3)
In the distance, a quantum transmitter began to glow blue.
It was a device that students would never be able to operate, so I could be sure that the professors were handling the transmitter.
Light shimmered in a large circular ring, and soon a familiar face walked out from the inside.
She was slightly worried about her platinum blonde hair, but still had a dignified expression on her face, Professor Sianna.
Afterwards, professors who had met several times appeared one after another, and finally the principal arrived here.
After looking around her for a moment, Cianna saw us perched on the top of a large rock, and she raised her hand and approached us.
“Everyone! You’re all right…! I’m so glad…”
Given that the number of professors was not so large, it was probably evenly distributed across several islands.
Since the minimum number of people to infuse magic into the quantum transmitter is 5, it is probably to use 2 transmitters at once to move the students.
“Thank you for contacting me though.
“I’m not talking about dying…! Hehe…”
As if I had gone far beyond the emotional state of accepting her joke as a joke, Shiana almost cried and hugged me.
No, I feel a little embarrassed if I hug her like this in front of everyone…
“It’s a joke, so stop crying. What if a grown adult cries like this…”
“Hey, ho, in case I’m late…! I’m afraid something happened again while I waited… Huh… I’ll never be late…! I’ll never let Jihoo go…!”
The gym clothes she was wearing are wet with Sianna’s tears.
Feeling her voluptuous breasts press down on her upper body, I involuntarily gasped and took a deep breath.
Even though she was sweating, it wasn’t unpleasant at all, but rather, the faintly sweet smell of her body made blood flow to her lower body.
“Stop crying and let go for a moment. Everyone else is watching, so it’s a bit embarrassing to do this.”
At this rate, it seemed that she would get an erection in front of nearly 20 people, so she hurriedly grabbed Sianna’s arm and pulled it out of her arms.
Hearing my words, she slipped away from me, still frowning and her tears streaming down her face.
“Hmm, Jihoo-kun seems to be very popular with girls… I’ll let you hug him as much as I want when I get back, so will you listen to me first?”
No, that’s because it was Ciana’s hug…
Still, most of them laughed at Sanya’s playful remarks, so the light atmosphere wasn’t too bad.
…It looks like a woman staring at me from behind, but let’s just ignore that.
“First of all, as the principal of the school, I apologize for not being able to deal with the accident that could have occurred during the practical evaluation. If it wasn’t for Jihoo, I would have been able to properly grasp the progress only around the time the number of casualties came out.”
“Ah, the professors must have been watching, but they’re giving me a lot of attention.”
“I’m not lying, it’s true. Many of the injured who were transported to the school complained of symptoms such as hypothermia or frostbite, but thanks to knowing the cause properly, I was able to change the treatment method to treatment for magic damage right away. I think thank you.”
That sounds like I did pretty well.
Sanya smiled at me, then returned to her serious expression and started talking about an important subject.
“Then, let’s move on to the main topic. Did you read the text that Cyana sent you? That all the monsters on the other islands have evaporated. Among the faculty, people specializing in search and tracking continue to investigate the island, but there are no traces of it yet. I couldn’t find it.”
“Have you ever investigated places under the ground or in the sea?”
“I’ve been searching all the way down to the basement, but they say it’s not there yet. And the sea, as you know, this place is near the territory of sea dragons, so it’s too much of a burden to recklessly send mana into the water. Of course, the disappearance of the monsters all at once is a serious thing, but it’s more important than that. When a sea dragon is resurrected, there is nothing more terrifying than that.”
Resurrection of the Sea Dragon…
It might not be known if it was Goryusin who awakened the stigma twice, but with the current meager specifications, it seems that the sea dragon will be knocked out at once.
In the end, the conclusion was ‘It seems that the monster headed for the sea, but it is difficult to find actual evidence’.
I can’t imagine how he was able to move to the sea in the blink of an eye with such a massive body.
“But don’t be too heartbroken. If anything happens, I’ll evacuate all students to school before that happens. In another half an hour or so, we’ll be able to reenergize the quantum transmitter. You guys are all back, and we’re If monsters you don’t know appear, fight them, okay?”
In fact, her words were the wisest.
Because when you fight while protecting the students, and when you can use your 100% power, the difference in ability will be enormous.
There would be nothing more upsetting than trying to give a little help, but having the opposite effect.
As she listened quietly to Sanya, she suddenly had a question.
I don’t think I’ll hear anything nice if I ask questions, but I still can’t stand questions.
“Well, by any chance, what are the performance evaluation grades…?”
“…I have a record until the second day, so I’m going to reflect that in my score. Seeing that you’re asking that kind of question now, it seems like you have room for a joke.”
“I just wanted to ask you a question.”
Sanya smiled at my answer.
A mischievous expression could be seen between serious faces, and he must have liked my words very much.
“Well, anyway! The bottom line is, start packing up now. The 4 students standing behind you… Huh? Why are there 4 of you, Jihoo-kun?”
“Uh… I don’t think Pirahyun has come yet. He disappeared without a word earlier, and he hasn’t come back yet.”
“No, they send us text messages so meticulously… If a person disappears in a situation where a person is the most important, I have to take care of that first. What if I get caught up in another danger…”
“I’m here.”
Sanya was about to raise her voice slightly when a dark-haired woman stepped out from the woods and interrupted her.
I can’t see well because the surroundings are already dark, but looking at that unique antique atmosphere, it seems to be Pira Prefecture.
“Where did Miss Rahyun go…? Jihoo should have told you about the situation, but please refrain from taking personal actions even for the rest of the time.”
“Yes…”
Pirahyun answered quietly and went straight into his tent.
Since we had little more to say, she decided to spend the remaining 30 minutes packing her bags to carry back to school.
It’s only been two days, but I’ve fallen in love with the island before I knew it… I wanted to go back right away because I had witnessed a scene that was too horrific to say.
Perhaps because of that mindset, the speed of organizing my luggage and putting it in my bag naturally increased, and it took less than 15 minutes to completely pack my luggage.
“Let’s see… I’m sure I didn’t miss anything?”
Tent parts, cooking utensils, and miscellaneous camping items were also packed.
The bonfire glowing brightly in the center was decided to be reserved for the remaining faculty members, so we just have to wait for the rest of the time.
Still, it’s not fun to just sit there, so let’s talk to other people.
I sneaked up to Jeong Ye-won, who was in the middle of packing.
“Yewon, can I help you?”
“Heh, blood, I don’t need it… I didn’t expect my relationship with the professor to be like that, but I thought he was only good to me, so I was completely mistaken…! Everything, go find someone else…”
Jeong Ye-won’s stubborn refusal forced me to turn around.
Will Harin Won be completely fine now… I’ll go take a look.
“Harin, are you feeling better? Uh… I think you’ll be fine.”
I glanced inside the tent, wondering if I was properly packing my luggage, but instead of Won Harin, Oh Dong-hoon was struggling to stuff his luggage into the bag.
Perhaps he is being punished for running away from Won Harin.
“What? Just peeking at someone else’s tent.”
As I gazed at Oh Dong-hoon, feeling a little pity, Won Harin, who had returned before I knew it, glanced at me and said,
If it was yesterday, every single tone of her voice would have irritated my nerves, but maybe it’s because she’s been through a big deal, so I feel her actions are cute.
“I was waiting because I was curious about when Harin would come.”
“Ha, there’s no need to wonder. I’m packing my things on my own… That, more than that… I heard it was you who saved me… Thank you for that.”
“If you’d like to, why don’t we go back and have another round of sex? VIP service.”
“You idiot…! Don’t say it out loud… That, but if you’re a VIP, then you have no choice but to wait…♡”
Aww it’s cute
Still, she seems to have softened a lot, knowing that she was treated by Jeong Ye-won.
When I go back to school, then I have to completely attack it.
After visiting the tent of the two people, when I came back in front of the quantum transmitter, it was almost 30 minutes as promised.
As the professors put their hands on the transmitter and energized it, the blue light slowly began to flicker again.
After Sanya delicately manipulated the machine and finished setting the coordinates, we stood in front of the transmitter after fully preparing to return.
“Jihoo-kun, I’ll be right back after checking if there’s anything wrong with the island… Please wait for me.”
Cianna gave me a light smile and she spoke kindly to me.
Even though her eyes were slightly swollen from her bluster, her face was still beautiful.
“I’ll be watching, so please do well. If it seems impossible, come back right away.”
I deliberately returned what Shiana had said yesterday morning.
She smiled at my words, gave me a tight hug, and soon walked away.
“Then… Now I’m going for real.”
I walked slowly toward the flickering light, receiving the gazes of the professors.
Same feeling as yesterday, same slight nausea.
Feeling a familiar sensation, I opened my eyes and saw the first stadium in my field of vision.
You’re really back
As if not only us but also students from other islands started to move, more and more people began to gather in the empty stadium.
“Jihoo, I’ll go in first. I’m sorry I couldn’t be with you.”
Ryu Xin didn’t show it, but he was quite tired, so he greeted me and walked away in the direction of the residential area.
Jeong Ye-won, Won Harin, Oh Dong-hoon… As I watched familiar faces leave the stadium one by one, the stadium, which had been filled with students, became quiet little by little.
“Oh, it’s Jihoo!”
“You’re all right… I contacted you, but you didn’t answer, so I thought something had happened.”
“Hehe, I’m sorry… But it seems like it’s been a while since I’ve seen you, right?”
He also reunited with Ha Yul, who arrived at the stadium late.
I tried to find her Juha, but she had already returned to her house as a shadow, so I looked around and couldn’t find her.
As I watched the students go home one by one, she asked me if I was curious about Ha Yul, who was standing next to me.
“Jihoo, aren’t you going home? You must be very tired…”
“Um… I made a promise. If you’re having a hard time, you can go back first.”
I decided to watch until Professor Shiana returned, so I didn’t leave the transmitter.
Ha-yul, who would have been chatting next to me normally, greeted me with his eyelids closed as if he was very tired today.
“Ugh… I’m sorry I couldn’t be with you… I’m so tired. I don’t think I’ll be able to today…”
“It’s okay. Go in quickly, wash up, and get a good night’s sleep. Don’t worry about me.”
After sending Ha Yul home, the stadium was empty again.
No, it seems that there was one person who hadn’t returned yet.
A woman with black bobbed hair, pitch-dark eyes, and an incomprehensible smile.
She walked towards me, where Pira Hyun was alone.
“Have you figured out what a prophecy is?”
It’s a really nasty hobby to start with the main topic without saying hello as soon as you arrive.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure if I should have interpreted this, so I just glossed over it for now.
“I roughly interpreted the meaning, but I still don’t know what the sleeping entity is.
“Shh. Stop talking for a second and follow me.”
When she put her slender finger on my lips, I stopped her words.
As soon as I stood still, Pirahyun put a pod in my hand and immediately started taking me somewhere.
I definitely have to tell her to stop, but holding her hand with Pirahyun makes me absolutely not in the mood to resist.
A strange tingling sensation ran down her arm whenever her skin touched her tight fingers.
“Jihoo’s hands are too weak, hehe.”
I couldn’t properly see her changing the scenery with her strange feeling, and at one point she stopped in front of a large door.
[Staff only]
“Uh… It’s a place you wouldn’t want to go into openly, right?”
“It’s okay. Didn’t you decide to watch? Professor Shiana would have allowed it…”
Before I could answer anything, Pirahyun opened the tightly closed door and led me inside.
Upon entering the room, what I saw was numerous desks and chairs, and a monitor showing different landscapes.
Looking at so many monitors reminds me of bad memories in the principal’s office…
I slowly looked around and looked at the scenery on the monitor, and it was only after I saw a screen full of red blood that I knew where this place was.
“This is the observation room, right?”
“That’s correct. Jihoo is smart as expected…”
“Why did you come all the way here? You really want to let Professor Shiana watch over you? But just because of that, is it okay to come in like this?”
“Um… If you’re curious, just keep looking at the screen here. You’ll soon find out why I brought you here…?”
On the screen Pirahyun pointed to, there was nothing but the sea with only faint moonlight shining through.
I stared at the screen for 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, and 10 minutes, but there was no big change on the screen except for the still waves.
“There’s nothing…? Didn’t you misunderstand something?”
Even assuming that she is a prophet, her prophet can make mistakes at any time.
She could have forgiven her if she had apologized for even dragging me into her off-limits zone.
However, Pirahyun was still staring at the screen in silence.
The moment I tried to grab her shoulder, her lips moved quietly.
“Ah, it begins…”
“A start? What a start… Ah.”
Significant changes began to appear on the screen.
It was obviously blurry due to the low resolution on the small screen, but I instinctively knew what the object was floating on the surface of the water.
A lump of flesh reflecting the moonlight and shedding dark red light.
As if it was true that he was hiding in the sea, Goi started to float somewhere along with the waves while floating on the surface.
Pirahyun pointed to the screen right next to it.
It felt like the size of the monster was clearly smaller, perhaps because it was being filmed at a higher altitude than before.
49 monsters that were spinning in the same place on the current suddenly sink into the sea in an instant as if they had made a promise to each other.
“What…? Did it disappear at all?”
It was an illusion.
The 49 monsters that had sunk rose to the surface again in a circle.
And in the middle of the circle, there was a monster with a grotesque appearance that was unrecognizable.
Something is strange.
I need to tell Siana about this quickly.
She hurriedly took out her cell phone and tried to text her, but Pira Hyun’s hand grabbed her arm.
“Leave this! Can’t you see that right now? I have to tell you quickly…!”
“It’s no use, Jihoo.”
“…What?”
“It’s no use. It’s already too late.”
Goi’s hideous mass of flesh slowly dissolves into the sea.
An unidentified monster floating in the middle of the blood-stained sea began to rise into the sky riding a sudden spring of water.
“The one who fell asleep.”
Masses of flesh mix with the bluish waterspout and turn red, and an unknown black shadow wriggles in the center.
It was obviously not visible because it was covered by red pillars on the blurry screen, but I was able to instinctively realize what it was.
“In reverse.”
The whirlpool that had risen high into the sky disappeared at some point.
Suddenly, the screen began to crackle as if there was something wrong with the eyes of the observer who was illuminating the sea.
“It will appear again.”
– That’s it…
Obviously, the eyes of observation do not provide auditory function, but strangely, I heard the cry of a grotesque monster in my ears.
“How is it? The prophecy was correct?”
When the crackling screen returned to normal, a large animal resembling a snake was wriggling in the middle of the sea.
It was a sea dragon, but it was not a sea dragon.
Instead of smooth scales and long white beards on a blue body, it was an aggregate of dark red flesh that seemed to have been sewn together from dismembered corpses.
I turned my eyes away from that terrible figure and looked at other screens, but at some point all screens showed only his presence.
The bloody eyes stared silently across the screen, then opened their mouth wide and let out another scream that was close to screaming.
The sea dragon, which was revived as an undead, declared its own resurrection.
