Chapter 483 – Episode 483: Peaceful Academy 3
A person with supernatural powers who suddenly visited me.
It is different from the martial arts people who use various martial arts by accumulating the energy of nature in the Danjeon, the knights and wizards who accumulate mana in the heart to create what are commonly called auric hearts or circles, the shamans and spiritists who communicate with nature using totems and sacrifices, etc. These are slightly different friends.
Rather than being academically organized and learning and growing through martial arts, magic, and auror techniques, everything relies on one’s personal sense, so the number of them is small, and it is hard to find them even in the academy.
That’s because, unlike dreaming of becoming a martial artist or a knight and learning swordsmanship from a young age, or studying hard because you want to become a wizard, you can’t prepare in advance if you want to become a psychic.
‘After being a magical girl, is she a superpower? Is something going to happen again?’
Therefore, full of curiosity, I slowly walked towards the place where incarnations of magical girls and people with supernatural powers were said to have gathered. A magical girl and a person with superpowers, aren’t they a unique combination that has nothing in common other than their accidental awakening?
With that thought in mind, I slowly crossed the vacant lot of the academy and headed toward Jena’s professor’s office.
As Yena, a swordsmanship instructor, arrives in front of her building, she sees several incarnations swinging her wooden sword, setting up things like straw and her scarecrow in her playground. What’s interesting is that it’s not a real sword or an unsharpened sword, but a flimsy wooden sword that looks like a tree branch to anyone who sees it, and is cutting through a bundle of straw as thick as a human body.
As she walked towards the martial artist’s skills, which clearly showed her strength, the Hwasin cadets who were sweating and swinging her wooden sword stiffened and bowed their heads in my direction.
“Hello, Constellation!”
“I wonder if Professor Song Yena came to visit! “Her professor says he’s waiting in her professor’s office with her guest!”
“Okay, thank you.”
Perhaps it’s an error in the constellation translator, but I always get a strange feeling when I see female college students on Daehakro laughing and chatting with their arms around each other’s shoulders, politely asking questions in a tone similar to Tanaka script.
Still, since it was a daily routine where men and women were reversed, we had become quite accustomed to it, so I accepted the enthusiastic gazes and greetings and entered the building. Unlike the sweaty stadium outside, the building maintains a neat appearance. Still, if you look at the labs related to the martial arts and swordsmanship, they are full of people wearing swords or weapons passing by, and they look noticeably different from the buildings where wizards are gathered.
I took a quick look at the chaotic assortment of martial arts and fantasy, such as swords, spears, swords, axes and maces, shurikens and rain swords, and walked into the still unfamiliar Professor Yeji’s office.
“No, that means…”
“Even if you say that…”
As I stood in front of the door of the martial arts building, looking at her beautiful calligraphy called Song Ye-na, written on the door, I heard a voice coming from inside.
It’s not Yena’s voice, but the voices of people I’ve never heard of are fighting with each other. I wonder if someone from the magical girl side and a person with superpowers are fighting. Still, it didn’t seem like they were raising their voices excessively or arguing too loudly, so I knocked on the door with a little bit of magic power.
You may not be able to hear the small knocking sound buried in the voice, but the voice suddenly cuts off as if you are not even aware of the magical power of the dream magic suddenly spreading through the door.
“I’m going in?”
As I entered the quiet professor’s office, as if giving a unilateral notice rather than asking for permission, I saw people gathered around a narrow table.
One side is an outfit that anyone can see is the incarnation of a magical girl. Beautiful girls dressed in pastel-colored pink or light blue outfits were wielding wands and swords that looked more like toys or fancy goods.
In that case, the people on the other side, where there is no unity, must be psychics. They come in a variety of outfits, including Hwashin cadet uniforms, gym uniforms, and casual outfits such as jeans and shirts.
“Hello, Constellation.”
“Oh, hello!”
I heard she was the incarnation of the Magical Girl Constellation, so I thought she was just an ordinary wizard, but all her incarnations were also magical girls. Anyway, my curiosity rose as I saw the seemingly unexpected combination of a magical girl and a superpower before my eyes.
As I looked around at them with eyes full of curiosity, the magical girls took a turn and introduced themselves, taking a quick look.
“This time, I am here to provide support at the behest of the Holy See! As you can see, I would appreciate it if you could call me by color!”
“Color?”
“Yes! “I’m Red, this is Green and Blue!”
It’s not a Sentai story, so it’s called by its color, no matter how you look at it, it’s pink, so why is it red? Are there other colors like yellow or black? Are the favored magical girls given colors and the rest are just ordinary magicians? I can’t help but think about a variety of things. Introduction.
Could it be that he was helping Harin and Haeun in the lab by saying something like Red Knee Green? If you don’t report this funny thing to me, the researcher duo will have to scold you later.
As she thought about that, she turned her gaze to the other side of the table and saw a woman in jeans smiling brightly and nodding. Unlike the two Hwasin cadets who wore gym uniforms and cadet uniforms, she wore civilian clothes and looked a little older, giving her a strong feeling that she was a representative or leader.
“Hello, Constellation. This is Kohaku, whom I requested for an interview this time.”
Of course, even if she looks older, she just looks like a college student sandwiched between two high school girls, but in this world full of geniuses, it’s safe to say that she’s a senior at the Academy.

Magical Girl Red, Green, Blue
Superpower Kohaku Arayama
The reason why this fundamental combination of a psychic and a magical girl came together was surprisingly simple.
This is because the supernatural powers of the cadets in charge of Kohaku Arayama caught traces of the dreamers causing accidents at the academy. It was the magical power of a dream demon that neither magic nor incantations could capture, but they didn’t know that it could be captured by dream-related supernatural powers, and the people at the Academy probably didn’t know either.
“My superpower is mind control. And these kids’ superpowers are psychometry and telepathy. … Oh, just because it’s mind control doesn’t mean it’s such a dirty story.”
Anyway, please don’t misunderstand~ Kohaku smiled awkwardly as if he was in trouble and continued his explanation.
Her superpower is mind control. He was not a talent for completely manipulating the other person and doing dirty things like the apple of his eye, but was a kind of soul healer who controlled the other person’s disturbed brain waves and spirit.
Well, in this world, there were quite a few ghost-type monsters that attacked the soul and mind, even if they were not monsters. I didn’t know about it because the number of psychics was so small, but it seemed like the ransom was quite high as it was treated as the only way to fight against an opponent who couldn’t work on magic or incantations. It feels like a joker card that is not common but definitely works.
“The reason I am in charge of these children is because their talent is so great that it harms their own bodies. “I think that’s why we’ve caught the culprit of the Academy kidnapping incident.”
The reason Kohaku, such a rare and expensive soul healer, remained here even though she graduated from the academy was to take care of the two high school girls on either side of her, the psychometric high school girl Lee Ha-ru and the telepathic high school girl Kwon Seo-ah.
A situation in which both people suffer from unwanted activation of supernatural powers due to their supernatural powers being too powerful compared to their spiritual maturity. It was a content commonly seen in creative works with supernatural powers as the theme.
Things like having other people’s memories embedded in objects in your daily life flow in randomly even though you had no intention of reading them, or having a telepathic ability so powerful that you can read the thoughts of a passing person piecemeal.
Still, if we can control that ability, humanity will have two more rare Joker cards, so we have no choice but to take good care of it.
“So you read the traces of a dream using telepathy or psychometry?”
“Yes. To be precise, I read the memories of a missing student.”
In any case, the two people who were receiving spiritual training at her academy under Kohaku’s care happened to read the traces and memories of a student who disappeared while she was on her way to eat when she was away.
And that too in the middle of the playground.
“Playground?”
Those words made me wonder how many people were passing by the playground, but Kwon Haru, who immediately read my expression, quickly added supplementary explanations.
“Well, that… It’s a feeling that’s difficult to explain in words, but the thoughts of the dream demon king and kidnappers are strange. As I was walking down the road, I suddenly felt like there was a swamp in the middle of the asphalt road. Stepped on gum with bare feet? Because that’s how I feel.”
There seems to be a clear difference, perhaps because he is a dream demon king from a different world. The feeling of stepping on chewing gum with your bare feet, isn’t that a sign that’s hard to notice?
However, no matter how sensitive and talented a psychic is, there is only so much he can know. I don’t know if it’s beyond the dimension or in a dream world, but I can vaguely feel that their base is somewhere in the playground, but I can only feel it and can’t track it.
That’s why I found out about this incident, got involved with the magical girls, and came to Professor Yeji’s office.
