Chapter 65 – Academy (16)
An hour ago.
A few Academy professors observed inside the artificial rift. The cadets were evaluated in a space filled with dozens of screens.
“Cadet Kang Su-ho. I heard that innate magical power is 4 stars… That’s amazing.”
“You kill all the zombies before they even get close. Student Kang Hyun-ah is also like a younger sister. That’s great.”
On the screen, there was a scene where Suho Kang exploded the head of a zombie chimera with a magic bullet.
The balding middle-aged professor clicked his tongue.
“I don’t like it.”
“Yes? No why?”
“The mana management is neat, but the attitude is not good.. Eh tsk.”
Ann, with a heavy body, was wiping the sweat from Suho Kang. Suho Kang was being waited on with an awkward smile.
Haha.. You’re young, so that could be it.”
When moving, he always had Kang Suho’s arms crossed, but the middle-aged professor saw it and clicked his tongue.
“I should have made the difficulty higher. Such an attitude in the rift. It should have been set to at least a 2-star monster.”
“Then, what are you going to do if an accident happens?”
The grumbling middle-aged professor looked at another screen.
Among the many groups, there was one group that stood out. The cadets, including the Grand Duchess of the North. They were handling zombies skillfully.
There was also a cadet who killed zombies by throwing memorized words.
“That cadet…”
“Are you in the same group as Princess Helena? Ah..! Aren’t you the student who contributed to catching monsters at the old school?”
“Ah, cadet Kang Hyeon-ah must have caught them all. Isn’t that guy’s innate magical power only 1 star?”
The professor flipped through the paper. It was a file containing the information of cadet Choi Si-woo.
“Your grade is F, but you fight better than I thought, right? Who gave the rating?”
“The person in charge of the entrance exam was probably Professor Park. But what is that?”
“Iron chopsticks? No saliva..? Hey Professor Park. Are the barriers working?”
Since Professor Park was also in charge of this test, attention was focused on him. Barely able to penetrate the barrier with saliva.
“It’s working fine. Don’t you know when you see the other cadets?”
“Hmm… It seems to be a characteristic, but it’s quite good. Next semester, my grades will be higher.”
“Still, isn’t the amount of magic power terrible?”
“Ah, he’s that skilled, but with a little less magic…”
I was watching Siwoo and the others heading towards the wreckage of the collapsed building, but the screen suddenly went black.
Not only that, but dozens of all screens at the same time.
“What?”
“Hey Professor Park. What’s happening?”
“···Wait. It won’t be a big deal.”
Quaang!
The door to the observation room was thrown open, and an assistant professor rushed in.
“Professor!! Erm… I have something to say…”
Professor Park glanced around and took him out the door.
“What a fuss. Didn’t I tell you never to buy it?”
“That’s… Suddenly, a barrier formed in the rift. Communication is also down.”
Professor Park, whose expression darkened, scolded the assistant professor.
“Aren’t you sure I entrusted you with a safety check?”
“Yes?! Uh, when…”
“Huh… If things go wrong, you’ll have to take full responsibility. Got it? Solve it quickly.”
The assistant professor left with a puzzled face and Professor Park’s expression suddenly changed. He raised his eyebrows vaguely.
‘Huh.. There’s no way it can be solved without the dean. It will take at least half a day.’
Then, his expression darkened again.
‘This identity is also over. After all… Should I jump out?’
The academy professor status was the most outstanding status he had ever had, so it was a little disappointing. He was happy because he was capable of abusing power in many ways.
Until nowhehesitated to abandon his identity and run away out of regret. Originally, I should have left as soon as practice started.
‘If I buy this much… It won’t end with being cut.’
Half a day was enough time for all the cadets inside the barrier to die.
This time, there were a lot of high-ranking children, including the daughter of the Northern Grand Duke. It was unreasonable to deal with them.
‘I’ll have to leave soon.’
I was just about to leave and got caught. The professor, his entire body covered in muscle, approached him with a frown on his face.
“Professor Park. What are you doing here now? You say you can’t communicate with the insider?”
“No big deal. It will be resolved soon.”
“Doesn’t it seem unusual to me?”
“…Do not worry. I will solve it.”
“Aren’t you too complacent? Go right now and knock on the barrier. Because I will ask for support.”
“No, that’s…”
After a little scuffle, Professor Park went to the artificial crack with a trembling face.
The muscular professor looked at him suspiciously. It was because of the note on his desk this morning.
“Professor Park Sang-hoon is a spy. And······.”
A note that started with an outrageous statement. I thought it was nonsense, but today he is suspicious. He told the guards around him.
“Professor Park Sang-hoon, closely monitor him. Never let me go anywhere.”
“Yes···?”
“For now, do as you are told.”
“All right.”
He left, recalling the next contents of the note.

Siu glanced at Helena.
The small magic bullet on her finger flew like a bullet to the zombie. Seeing her firm magic bullet now, it was unusual.
‘Looks like a regressor.’
Once I thought about it, all of her actions seemed special.
‘The reason he’s so kind to me… Is because my behavior has changed?’
It seemed to her that she was not herself before her regression. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head.
It didn’t matter if he was or not. Because this is his only life.
‘Somehow… I heard there was a wall behind me.’
She was incredibly kind, but her schedule line was thorough. She never allowed physical contact.
Until now, she thought it was an aristocratic attitude, but it seemed different to me when I thought she was a regressor.
‘Loneliness… I mean, I don’t want to get close because I’ll be forgotten if I return.’
I kind of understood how it felt. She seemed to have a hard time getting over that wall unless she regressed with her.
Still, seeing him treated differently from others, there was hope.
‘Hmm… I guess I’ll have to think about it.’
There’s no guarantee that you can reunite with Helena. I wanted to seduce you somehow in this life.

After hiding the alchemist and the others in the emergency shelter, Siu and the others headed for the central clock tower.
Where it is assumed to be the root of the problem.
‘What the hell are professors doing?’
Their incompetence was obvious from giving him an F grade, but I didn’t expect it to be this level.
The monsters he encountered were getting stronger. After killing dozens of artificial monsters, we arrived at the central clock tower.
“It is also blocked.”
There was a barrier blocking entry.
Tung. Tung.
He struck with a fist clad in magical power. Through the repulsive force, he could feel the flow of mana going to another place.
‘Haa… Annoying.’
Clearly, I had to follow this flow and destroy the elements that make up the barrier. It seemed that objects related to this barrier were scattered all over the artificial rift.
“Hmm.. It seems to me that we should follow the flow of magic power and destroy the barrier stone.”
Helena seemed anxious to tell her something. Hoping for a walk, she urged Siwoo like a puppy.
It looks like it will guide you right away if you just say it. But before that, I had something to try.
“Wait a minute. Try breaking it once.”
“That would be… No. Give it a try.”
Helena smiled softly and she took a few steps back. She had an inclusive attitude, as if telling her to do whatever she wanted to do.
Through the elixir, she awakened her amplified inner energy. The energy of her soul gathered through the energy and blood of her whole body formed in her fist.
‘Heavy, strong. And anti-ma.’
Kudeudeuk.
The two attributes associated with the attribute of the Soul Origin were mixed into one. The weight of his entire body amplified and his fists began to harden with the sound of bones.
It even contained the exorcism contained in the characteristic.
Ung-ung
Unusual energy gathered in clenched fists. I imagined the regime tied to the waist as a siege weight.
Kwajik!
The career that happened while stepping on the advance was amplified through the joint. I put the power that was fully transmitted into my fist and threw it out.
Jjoong!!
The barrier shook violently.
The arrogantly maintained barriers cracked due to ignorant punching. The spirit spirit burrowed into the flow of the barrier.
Blasphemy!
The exorcism that seeped into the gap was decisive. The barrier shattered like glass.
“Ah..”
Amelia’s mouth fell open as she quietly followed. She was like a frightened rabbit.
“Uh..?”
The princess’s mouth fell open at the simple ignorant solution. It was the first solution she saw, even for her.
Originally, he would have destroyed the epicenter of the barrier before entering the artificial rift. Or you had to break the barrier stones hidden everywhere.
However, with such a simple punch, the barrier of the clock tower was shattered.
It was the first time it happened.
‘Ah..!’
Her heart skipped a beat at the thought of this unexpected experience. The unfamiliarity and surprise she felt after a long time stimulated her dry sensibility.
It reminded me of the first time I found Siwoo during the entrance exam. The time when the gray world was filled with color.
Seeing him brought back her dying feelings. It felt like electricity running through her body.
There is a hole in the barrier. It was big enough for two or three people to pass through.
Siwoo glared at it and made a decision. Even though he didn’t use half of his ability, the barrier was broken. It was judged that this was an acceptable situation.
‘It’ll be okay if I see Helena not reacting so well.’
She told them
“Let’s go in.”
“Ah..! Yes.”
“Will Amelia be okay?”
“Yes.”
He was about to enter the clock tower when Helena suddenly grabbed him.
“Siwoo.”
“Uh?”
“Aren’t I going to ask?”
You answered the question first and then asked again. He was like a puppy that was craving attention. But it was rather good.
“..Helena will you be okay?”
“Sure.”
The expression of her answering with a bright smile was so charming that I wanted to leave it as a picture.
