Chapter 58 – Entrance Ceremony (7)
Great.
A retreat has been secured.
“Do, Mr. Dojin. Sealing magic now… ?”
Yoon Ji-an, one of the two people who were staring in the auditorium, is making an astonished expression.
It’s a bit surprising even when I think about it.
Right now, I didn’t forcefully break the sealing magic, I just released it.
It means only one thing.
If I put my mind to it, I can become a thief who can rob all the magic safes in rich houses.
“Jian, now is not the time to be surprised. We need to evacuate people quickly.”
“Yes? Ah yes!”
Ji-an Yoon, who suddenly came to her senses, ran straight ahead and began guiding the association employees and other special admissions students to the exit.
I want to go out as quietly as possible.
“Chu, exit!”
“The door is open!”
I don’t know why these bastards like to scream so much.
The roaring sound that had been ringing out a moment ago had disappeared.
It seems that the male professor and the wizard also reacted to the sound made by one of the special admissions students.
“Um… !”
“Uh, how did the door… !”
The reactions of the two are quite contrasting.
The male professor had a satisfied expression on his face, and the wizard had a hard time believing that the door I had locked was unlocked.
However, that’s for a while.
The magician’s face gradually began to distort like a bloody slaughter.
“Someone dares to interfere with religious events… !”
Oh, now I know.
Where does this guy belong?
Just as hunters have guilds, villains also form groups with like-minded people.
Among them, there is one villain group that has rapidly expanded its power over the past five years.
Your name is probably….
“Was it Gwangmyeong Bridge?”
Do you want to light the world with true light in a world stained with lies?
It is a pseudo-religion and a group of villains built around a villain with roughly such an ideology.
It’s the only place among the villains that calls their group a religion, so that’s for sure.
“Why did you try to kidnap incoming students?”
Unlike other villain groups, Gwangmyeonggyo has a very unique means of expanding its power.
The most representative method they use as a means to expand their power is kidnapping.
To kidnap necessary personnel and use them as prisons.
That was the way Kwangmyeonggyo expanded its influence.
To be honest, when I hear this, I wonder what it means.
Can the kidnapped people obey their words?
But Gwangmyeonggyo is able to do that.
No, there are people who can do that.
He is the leader of Gwangmyeonggyo.
Villain name ‘Brain Washer’.
A quasi-S class villain who is judged to have brainwashing or equivalent abilities.
“I guess you did it to devour the special admissions students.”
It seems that they wanted to take all the special admissions students whose talents were verified and make them their future.
“You are very greedy, yes.”
They can’t be very hot guys.
To mobilize high-ranking magicians and S-class magic stones, which are worth calling, to arrange the work.
It seems that there is an overflow of donations coming to Gwangmyeonggyo.
A situation in which most of the association’s employees, including students who entered the special case, got out.
I looked at the magic crystal placed on top of the podium.
A halo of light that slowly fades away.
The completion of the magic circle is conveyed throughout the body.
I shouted at the male professor who was confronting the wizard.
“Professor! The teleport magic circle will be activated soon! You have to get out right now!”
“Teleport… ?”
The middle-aged professor’s complexion hardened in an instant.
The wizard gritted his teeth and started looking in my direction.
“Kuh… ! How to teleport… , No way?”
What.
I guess I figured it out.
“Kuuk, keukkeuk!”
Suddenly, the boy starts laughing.
The madness in the eyes looking at me seems to be ulterior motives.
“I can’t help it.”
The magic power flowing through the magician’s body began to swell.
“I have no choice but to take you guys… !”
The amount of mana flowing out was unusual.
It seems that he is determined to take us somehow as a last resort.
“That doesn’t work.”
He immediately gathered his magic power.
Most of the mana that was dormant in the body was gathered into the fingertips.
I was surprised for a moment.
The speed at which mana gathers has become incomparably faster than before… !
He tries to calm his excitement and manipulates his mana delicately.
The coating color is pure white.
As the color of magical power gradually changes to white, the temperature around it drops drastically.
You can’t hurt him with offensive magic.
Because the magical energy activated throughout my body won’t be able to break through with my current level.
So, let’s lightly interfere with movement.
「Ice Wall.」
The feet of the guy are stained with cold.
At the same time, solid ice began to rise from there.
Blasphemy! Damn!
In an instant, the wall rose above him and blocked his path.
The same goes for the sides and back.
I can see his face through the thick ice wall.
A look of great bewilderment.
It shouldn’t be difficult for him to break down this wall.
But that was enough.
If only I could create a gap by narrowing my range of motion for a moment.
“Professor, now!”
“Um… !”
The professor seemed to hesitate for a moment, then he turned around and ran at high speed.
Arriving in just a couple of steps, he immediately grabbed my neck with a savage hand.
“Keck!”
While screaming in agony, the sound of the tremendous wind hits my ears.
When I came to my senses, my body was already outside the auditorium.
And it started at the same time.
The manifestation of the teleport magic circle.
Wooooo!
A blue pillar soared from under the ground and embraced the entire auditorium.
A huge magic circle was drawn in the sky.
It is the shape of the teleportation magic circle that I felt under the ground.
Along with that, the auditorium gradually disappears.
“No eh eh eh!”
I hear it.
The bastard’s scream.
Investing S-class magic stones to get only one building.
“Hogu is here.”
If that’s not a hogu, then what’s a hogu?
Finally, the Great Hall was bathed in light and disappeared.
The halo of light slowly faded, and beneath the ground appeared a huge magic circle that had served its use, exuding traces of blue magic.
Now my mind is at ease
“Phew.”
I almost became a Gwangmyeonggyo.
*
Since the Patriot Hall disappeared, the special admissions students sat together in another large auditorium, the Heroic Hall.
The reason for gathering was to resume the entrance ceremony.
At times like this, we should show off our strength by holding the event instead of canceling it.
I did the national rite again and sat down.
A relay of congratulatory remarks by professors is continuing in front, but nothing is heard.
The most important thing to me right now is what happens to the empty attribute slots.
“Status window.”
I immediately opened the status window and checked the messages that flew by while I struggled in pain.
[Gives traits based on experience gathered so far.]
[The user will be given a new attribute, ‘A person with qualities’.]
[There will be changes in the body.]
[Prepare for pain!]
“… Is this kid kidding?”
Do you roll over in pain, shut off your senses, and prepare for the pain?
Isn’t this enough to make fun of people?
“Whoa.”
Be patient
What is that characteristic anyway?
“A person with qualities… ?”
What kind of qualities did you have?
Several more messages have arrived since then.
If you check it, you will get an answer.
[Body application completed.]
[The user’s ability efficiency has been increased by 1.2 times.]
[The user’s talents will bloom further.]
[When certain conditions are satisfied, ‘magic absorption’ is possible.]
“… Is this correct?”
Somehow, my body felt lighter and stronger.
For Awakeners, attributes are like a lottery.
Because what I am born with determines my future life.
In that sense, my characteristics now are….
“It’s number one.”
I hadn’t even heard of it.
It means that there is a characteristic that makes the talent bloom more and boosts the efficiency of the stats.
My current highest level of ability is stamina.
The number is 30.
Multiply this by 1.2… , Which is 36.
“Crazy.”
Unknowingly, the curse came out.
A figure of 6.
Maybe it doesn’t make a lot of sense now.
However, this is ridiculous when you consider that the range of rise will increase enormously as growth continues.
In the past, when I was in my prime with Son Si-woo’s body, my physical strength was 90.
If 1.2 times is applied there, it is inflated to a ridiculous number of 108.
Wouldn’t that be enough to run around the globe without running out of breath?
As the total amount of ability increases, the value of 1 becomes very large.
That much, you have to change your soul to raise your ability level by 1.
But I can get an additional number of 18 without any effort.
“This is not a lottery level….”
Correct.
My characteristic is not to be number 1 in the lottery, but to be number 1 in Powerball.
That too has been carried over for several months.
“Whoa….”
He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
Because the message isn’t over yet.
[User now has the 504th quality.]
[All seats have been filled with the last user.]
[Develop your attributes further to prepare for the fate to come.]
“…….”
I read all the previous messages with a meaningful statement.
The last message planted a lot of questions in my head and went away.
The phrase to develop the last characteristic further probably means that the ‘person with qualities’ is a growth-type characteristic with open possibilities for growth.
It’s not that big of a deal so far.
Until now, there have been a few people with growth-type characteristics.
What interests me is the before and after.
The 504th last digit and the fate to come….
What the hell is that ambiguous number, and what is the fate to come?
Suddenly, things started to get complicated in my head.
