Chapter 394 – Mythology Academy
When Seong-il thinks that he might share the vision, the hall reacts explosively. However, when no additional questions come out apart from that, Professor Ahindel starts to bring up another agenda.
“Looks like the first question is over, so let’s move on to the next one. Professor Weirin? Let’s begin.”
‘Oh… Professor Wiline?’
When Professor Wi Rain of Meditation, who is familiar to him, is called, Seong-il’s expression softens slightly.
Looking at him like that, the line above is warm, but after he smiles gracefully, he starts asking questions to Seong-il.
“In this battle, Seongil Han definitely used a unique type of magic that has never been seen in the current world of magic.
Whether it’s a sphere that nullifies weak magic, or a wide-area magic bombing magic.
Even, it seems that you used magic without casting… Could it be that this is also related to the vision in the first question?”
Professor Wirain looks at Seong-il with his eyes twinkling just in case. However, to her regret, Seong-il spits out an answer that disappoints her.
“No. That’s… The result of using a powerful artifact that can’t be revealed.”
“Umm… Artifacts?”
“Yes. It is a legacy of the ancient Mage Empire that has fallen. This artifact allows you to use some of the ancient magic engraved on the artifact five times a day without casting.”
“Hoo…”
Wizards whose eyes twinkle at the words of Holy Day. That’s right, even if you just listened to the explanation, it sounded like an artifact of great power, so greed naturally grew in their eyes.
“…Of course, there are strong restrictions on the use of magic power, such as limiting the number of times it can be used and requiring tribute. However, it is difficult to say what the conditions are. Saying that is the same as saying my weakness, so What is certain is that among the conditions for using the artifact, no anti-humanitarian acts are required.”
“Um… Yes…”
In fact, 『Wizard of Wonder』 Had almost no restrictions on use, except for the fact that magic under class 5 could only be used five times a day, but Seong-il deliberately had flaws in order to prevent professors from acting unexpectedly out of greed. As such, it reduces the value of magic books.
“…Do you have any other questions?”
When Professor Wirain seems to have finished his question, Professor Ahindel asks if he has any questions about the agenda. Then, a professor raises his hand and speaks to Ahindel.
“Me!! Nana!! I have a question!!”
“…Keep your body. Professor Rom? Ask me a question.”
“Ahaha…”
An old wizard who looks quite old. He waves his hand frivolously, not befitting his age, and asks Seong-il a question.
“Then… The artifact in question… Seems to have magic that was practiced in ancient times listed, but could you donate the artifact to the academy or rent it out so that we can look into magic?”
“Absolutely impossible.”
“Huh…Don’t do that…How can’t it be? If only we could restore the ancient empire’s actual combat magic, it might make a mark in history!!”
“I’ll say it again, absolutely not. The artifact is clearly my private property, and as powerful as it is, there are restrictions placed on it, so I have no intention of taking any misfortune from transferring it to someone else.
Also, the magic I used is only slightly different in mechanism, but similar magic still exists today. So please don’t pressure me with something like a cause.”
Seong-il’s clear answer. The professor, who asked the question, opens his mouth with a puzzled expression.
“Keuk… The price… I’ll give you the price, so how can it be…?”
“No. In that case, there may be problems with future use. There is absolutely no compromise.”
If he lent the 『Spellbook of Wonders』 To someone else for no reason, and it was revealed that the magical mechanism described in it was completely different from the world of Mythology Academy, there could be dire consequences. Throw away
“Hey…”
Seeing that resolute expression, the wizard lowered his head as if he couldn’t help it, and began to step back.
“Does anyone want to ask the next question?”
“…”
The hall fell into silence. It’s also because Seong-il came out so resolutely that the professors asked non-negotiable questions, but it seemed like they gave up because they could exhaust the questions.
“Okay. Next question. Professor Thorgrim?”
“Kuhm… Kuhm… It’s my turn.”
A short-haired, stocky professor with a very solid figure appears.
“Seongil-kun, I want to know the identity of the potion you used. How is such an effect possible?”
“Ah, it’s a consumable artifact. I don’t actually know what its exact identity is.”
“Umm… That’s too brief…? By any chance, the route to get it…? Also, I’m curious how many you have.”
“Can I ask why you ask that? I honestly don’t see why I need to elaborate on that part?”
Professor Thorgrim slightly frowned at Seongil’s extremely uncooperative attitude. However, for a while, he manages his expression and asks him again if he thinks he is a person he regrets.
“It’s simple. If we can popularize that potion, it’s because our world will become more prosperous in the future.”
“I see… But, it’s a pity. I only have one potion left.”
“…What?!”
“To be exact, I only got three uses. That’s it.”
Seongil takes out the bottle containing the elixir from his bosom. When a potion shimmering with bright light appears, all the professors in the hall begin to blink.
“…This is a gift from my family guardian. He also got this potion by accident.”
“…Who is he?”
“Are you asking me to tell you the identity of my guardian? I can never tell you this. If something goes wrong with my personal life, and I cannot succeed to the position of head of the family in the future, the guardian who secretly sponsored me will become a political figure within the family. Will take a serious blow, so I can’t tell you who he is.”
“Okay…”
Seong-il stealthily drives the family into political matters and cuts off the professor’s words. When the professor’s face turned blue, Seong-il quickly continued.
“What is certain is that the guardian himself bought this potion from an adventurer who accidentally explored ancient ruins during his travels. In addition, the guardian dedicated this potion to me and was dubious about its performance.”
“Hmm…”
“Then, after many years, I was attacked and almost died. I tried this potion at that time and realized that my body was completely cured. Since then, I have always carried the potion with me. I do not know when it will be able to save me.”
“Ha…”
Professor Thorgrim looks at Seongil’s potion bottle with a gaze full of complex emotions.
“Do you have any plans to donate that potion… Or sell it?”
Prof. Thorgrim stammers and corrects the word, as if spitting out the word ‘donation’. Seong-il worries about his expression.
‘Hmm… Anyway, next week it’s recharged… Should I just sell it? It is very burdensome for others to know that such a treasure remains with me…’
Seong-il, who has thought so, answers him with a difficult expression.
“Ummm… Certainly… I feel like the professor is right when he says that if this potion becomes popular, the world can be enriched.”
“Ohhh!! That… Then!?”
When Seong-il said that he was going to sell potions, Professor Togrim stood up with his eyes half-turned. Seongil nodded at him and replied.
“It’s difficult to donate, but I think I can do sales.”
“Ohhh!! How much!! How much would it cost!! Gold coins…”
Thorgrim flinches at the word ‘gold coin’. That’s also true, due to the current game setting, Seong-il was possessed as the heir to the richest family on the continent, and the professor seemed ridiculous that he offered the money to him.
“It’s hard to exchange for gold coins, so I want a reasonable artifact commensurate with the value of this potion.”
“Artifact!?”
“That’s enough?!”
Unexpectedly, a remark that bursts out from another place. Seong-il, puzzled by the sound, turns his head and sees the half-turned wizard and psychic.
“Me too!! I want to buy that potion too!!”
“Me too!! Me too!!!”
“Profit!!”
And Professor Thorgrim, who saw the two, glared at them with a hardened face. However, the two professors do not pay any attention to him and shout at Seong-il as if they are competing and offer a deal.
“Stop!! Stop!!! Those who make a fuss will be immediately expelled!!!”
“…”
The three professors flinch at the sad words of Ahindel. When they are quiet, Ahindel continues with a solemn expression.
“The transaction with Han Seong-il will be carried out separately after the hearing is over under the observation of our freshman advisor.”
“Great!!”
“Tch…!! I agree!”
Ahindel seemed to have mentioned the observation, probably to avoid the professors’ pressure during the transaction. Seong-il is grateful for his thoughtfulness and thinks to himself.
‘Well… The potion will be regenerated next week… It would be nice if it could be sold at a high price.’
‘The problem… Is that from this day forward, Elixir cannot be used in public places. This must be a bit of a headache.’
However, even without an elixir, he thinks that Seong-il will have no major problems because he has super-regenerated nanomachines and a lot of advanced healing potions that Elisha gave him.
‘Well… It’ll work out somehow. If you have to, you can use the elixir in an empty place after escaping…’
Organizing his thoughts like that, Seong-il waits for the last question.
“Now let’s ask the last question. Professor Anahilo!”
“Ah, yes.”
The person in charge of the last question seemed to be Professor Anahilo, an authority on elemental studies.
‘Well, since he was a professor with a lot of interest in shadow spirits, it’s quite reasonable.’
While Seong-il thinks so, Professor Anahilo gets up from his seat and tries his luck on Seong-il.
“During this battle, do you remember that the Shadow Spirit separated from Seongil’s body and acted independently?”
“Yes. I remember…?”
“By the way… According to the common sense of animology researched so far… It is an established theory that if the spirit falls from the body of the contractor, the contractor cannot use the powers granted by the spirit.
“…”
“…However, Seongil-kun, despite the fact that the messenger of destruction was not in his body, he used dimension-shifting magic to enter and exit the scale. How did he do it? As far as I know, Seongil-gun’s abilities include physical enhancement, telekinesis, and flame manipulation. I know it’s a lineage…?”
‘Something to come has come.’
In response to Professor Anahilo’s question, Seong-il ponders whether he should lie for a while.
‘…Just, my spirit is special, so I’m going to scold that there’s no such thing? To be honest, the messenger of destruction is a very rare guy, so there are only a few people who have used it, so there’s no way to know about my lie.’
Seong-il, which was briefly thought about. However, he realizes that he must not lie here.
‘No, the reason Tala tried to assassinate me this time is to keep my mouth shut about how I arrived at the ‘Transcendental Temple’.’
In that situation, if I lie about not using magic, Tala, who knows the truth, will try to assassinate me endlessly to keep his mouth shut. There’s no need to take that risk for nothing.’
Seong-il organized his thoughts like that. He tells Professor Anahilo the truth with a serious expression.
“Um… That’s actually…”
“?”
“It’s magic.”
“Oh… Is that the artifact I was talking about earlier? Is that magic some kind of ancient…? Or, like the first question, the same occult?”
“No… That’s my own magic.”
“!!!!!”
The hall froze at Seongil’s words. All of the professors look at Seong-il for a long time on the spot, then get out of shock and cry out to him.
“How?! How did you use magic!!”
“What the hell…!! Did pure Transcendentalism really exist?!”
Questions popping up from all sides. Aaron and Professor Ahindel, who should have stopped the turmoil, closed their mouths as if they were in shock, and stared blankly at Holy Day.
‘Eh…!!!’
Even the people who need to intervene stand in a daze, and Seong-il becomes stuffy. He summons the heralds of doom from his body.
『Ugh?』
When Seong-il calls himself, the messenger of destruction appears in the shape of a cute puppy. As he looks at himself, Seong-il talks to him.
“Hey, do you remember when you taught me “Shadow Jump”?”
“King!”
“…Can you show me the teachings you showed me back then? So that people over there can see them.”
『…?』
The messenger of destruction looked at him with a slight incomprehensible tilt. However, for a while, he changes into a small person as ordered by Seong-il and starts repeating the work he showed to Seong-il in the past.
