Chapter 478 – Episode 478: Graduate Student’s Song 4
In-depth version of Dream Demon’s magic application – Correlation between magic absorption rate, blocking, and sensory nervous system
A study on the treatment of premature ejaculation under the grandiose name was confirmed and funding was allocated by the Academy. It may be unofficial, but since I am the only Hmongma that is officially active, does this mean that I am welcome to do research on anything?
Of course, there is also a justification put forward by the Academy. In the past, the corrupted constellation that attempted to terrorize the city was a dream demon. When monsters fight each other, they fight with the most terrible dreams, so the incident where he unleashed a barrage of nuclear weapons on the army of dream monsters.
The Academy’s story was that although I was the only dreamer who was officially active, there were quite a few monsters who were active unofficially. And of course, most of the constellations that are active unofficially are corrupt constellations.
It is a characteristic of the dream demons that they do not pay much attention to reality rather than a dream, so it is said that terrorists in real life are rare, but kidnapping several people they like into their dreams was secretly happening.
For example, a child who is talented in swordsmanship or magic and is scheduled to enter the academy falls out of bed while he is sleeping! And then disappear or something like that. He disappears in his sleep without any trace of magic or witchcraft.
“Has something like that happened?”
“Yes. So, there tends to be a bit of a Dream Land ghost story. “It is not because he was corrupted as an incarnation, but because he was kidnapped by an unknown dream demon and disappeared.”
Of course, the number is very small. In a world where monsters appear at the edge of the continent and fight to the death with soldiers, corrupt constellations run riot, and magical accidents occur like car accidents, it’s hard to even get attention.
However, just because there are few cases does not mean that research is not done. Even in my past life, there were people who gritted their teeth to create a cure for a rare disease that was one of the few in the world. Would it be any different in this world?
With that in mind, she rests her chin on the desk in Jena’s professor’s office, and as she lays down on her desk, she bangs on her papers and continues her story. I guess they think I’m interested in the stories of fellow demons because I’m bored.
Well, since I was born into a dream state, I don’t have any particular sense of kinship, but it’s true that I feel curious. As if it were a sign that her work was about to begin in earnest, Yena, who was sorting out a bunch of documents she had received from the academy, began to tell various stories.
“I don’t know about the northern or southern continents, but I have heard some stories about the eastern and western continents. “I heard a lot of stories about when I was with soldiers on combat duty.”
“Oh, she said she went to the front line to learn swordsmanship.”
“Yes. “Most of the soldiers I met at that time were from the east or the west.”
If you listen to the story, it was like a mixture of the monster under the bed and the monster in the closet.
In the evening, the child who received a goodnight kiss went into the bedroom, and the father, who had left something in the child’s room, followed him in and the child who was supposed to be in the bedroom disappeared. The students went out to play and fell asleep together on a blanket, but one person in the middle disappeared.
What they have in common is that no traces of magic or witchcraft were found, and they could not be found through scientific methods such as CCTV. As a result, I began to doubt the magical power of the only untraceable dream horse.
“But how do you know so well?”
“Uh… They are not Avatars, but people who became soldiers, right? There are people who became soldiers out of loyalty to the Constellation, but there are also quite a few who became soldiers out of revenge for losing their families to the corrupt Constellations.”
“… “It’s about your family.”
In addition, there are stories of a child who dozed off in the sunlight in the courtyard of an oriental mansion and then evaporated, and of a child who disappeared while sleeping while holding hands with his parents because he had a nightmare. It is a story that can’t help but roll your eyes.
A child who has lost a parent is said to be an orphan, but some say that parents who have lost a child are so miserable that there is no word to describe them. It’s a bit of an awkward story to share as small talk. Yena probably thought the same thing, but instead of going deeper, she immediately started talking about something else.
So, the military story we were talking about.
“So, there was a woman named Mr. Wang who came from the countryside, and even though she couldn’t become the Avatar, she learned her art well, and she just kicked the ball with her foot–“
He even brought up a story about playing soccer in the military.
The good news is that, unlike the K-Army, the army of this world is made up of aspiring warriors and knights, swallowing up their regrets about not being able to become Avatars and serving humanity. Thanks to that, the military stories in this world had a more dynamic taste than the K-Army.
An inspector picked up an intact piece of furniture from a nearby village, but it turned out to be truly possessed by a ghost, so a psychic came to the unit in a hurry, or an aspiring martial artist and an aspiring knight got into an argument during a fight of pride, but were subdued by a military officer who was a fire spirit.
Yena was talking with her mouth and busy organizing the shopping items and documents sent by the academy with her hands.
“Hmm? Holy See, this isn’t a document from me, it’s a document from you.”
“Really?”
As she continued to organize her documents with her familiar hands without even looking at her, she belatedly read her documents and handed them to me.
Documents on missing academy students.
※
Did things like ghost stories and dream lands become some kind of trigger?
An academy student went missing, and there was a reason why the documents were sent not to the security team but to Jena’s office, or more specifically, to me.
“How many people were there and no one saw where they went?”
“Yes. It is said that neither the person who saw it nor the CCTV, shaman statue, or magic circle caught anything at all. Ah, why is this happening again?”
Tocademy has been breached again!
As expected, just like a helicopter crashes in an action movie or a car loses its ignition in a horror movie, the Academy’s barrier has been breached again. Thanks to this, Yeji’s increase in work is quite impressive.
The timing was very odd there. As soon as I planned to research a way to block the magical power of a dream demon, a student at the academy disappeared. As a result, the academy’s directors have no choice but to have reasonable doubts.
… Isn’t this a warning from the corrupted dream demon constellation to the academy?
The academy has already been breached too often to judge it as a delusion that has gone too far. Additionally, the academy’s Avatar cadets have already signed a contract to serve another constellation. Among the disappearance cases so far, there has never been a case where a person who has already become an incarnation disappears, so this is also unusual.
“So, what do you want me to do?”
“I’m not asking for anything in particular, I guess I’m just asking you to be careful. If, as the Academy suspects, the corrupted demon constellation is causing trouble… “The next target will be us.”
“Well, that’s true too.”
So, I wasn’t particularly worried when I saw the duo of Ye-ji, who worked extra hours to scour the island, and Ha-rin and Ha-eun, who reacted calmly by saying they were threatening and naive and that they would proceed with the research.
Our children are already half-asleep, so unless the Constellation descends directly, there is no danger. And if it were easy for a dream demon to descend directly into reality, it would have done it right away. Even though it is a constellation, it is ultimately an entity bound by the rules of this created world.
The only person who can ignore that rule is an extra-standard monster, like a certain Constellation, who can cut down heaven, earth, universe, dimension, and space with a single sword. And if the opponent is such a monster, it seems pointless to resist.
“If this happens, research will have to proceed more quickly. “This research started as a half-joke, but if it goes well, it might be able to prevent being kidnapped into dreams.”
“If we can block magic from being applied to the senses, can we also block spiritual interference?”
“Rather, this paper published in the north――”
However, I don’t think that if it’s an ordinary dream horse of that level, it will lose. Because there is Ha-eun who is actively discussing in technical terms that I cannot understand.
While the magic of a dream demon seeped into other incarnations and gradually transformed their bodies, he was a genius who immediately became a dream demon without any such thing and became accustomed to magic at a faster rate than me. It has even swallowed the city whole, with a precious jewel given to it by the burning tyrant embedded in its heart.
I’ve never heard of a person being kidnapped by a dream demon turning into a dream demon, so the moment the other person looks down on me and approaches me through a dream, a 2:1 battle without blood or tears begins.
“Then it looks like the research will continue. It’s a pity that the Avatar disappeared, but that’s not something we can do about it.”
“Yes. We will proceed as quickly as possible so as not to inconvenience the Holy See. If it’s okay, you can go into Ha-eun’s dream city and conduct research.”
Not only Ha-eun, but everyone else was quite used to the magic power of the dream demon, so they didn’t seem worried. Even though she can’t resist the pleasure of man versus woman, everyone has become accustomed to how she handles her dreams and strengthens her body with the magic of dream magic.
Could it be that in a world where men and women are reversed, there is another Mongma other than me, a crazy man who reverse rapes women?
With that in mind, I opened the invitation in my hand and checked its contents.
… Invitation, suddenly?
