Chapter 472 – Mythology Academy
Claudia begins to be thrilled with him, not knowing that she is being deceived, at the words of Seongil that she will protect her life no matter whether her plan succeeds or fails.
***
“Whoa… By this afternoon, Claudia will know that the dagger’s ability is true, right?”
As Seong-il feels that he will finally get his hands on the last heroine after all his hard work over the past three weeks, Seong-il feels a sense of accomplishment.
‘By the way… Why is Professor Aaron calling me?’
Unexpectedly, on a weekend morning, Professor Aron urgently calls him using a magical tool, and Seong-il moves to his professor’s office with a curious mind.
“Are you here?”
“Yes. Professor.”
When Seong-il arrives at his professor’s office, Aron greets him with his characteristic lofty appearance.
“Egg plant.”
“…Where are you talking about?”
Seong-il is perplexed when he is told to move somewhere out of the blue, without any explanation. Seeing that, Aaron questioned him again as if he couldn’t understand.
“Hmm? Didn’t you hear that the Magic Imprint Seminar was announced today?”
“Yes? I didn’t get it, but…”
“Oops. A few days ago, I must have ordered my assistant to leave an invitation at your lodging, but he must have not followed the order properly.”
“Ah, my… I must have been careless and didn’t see it.”
Seong-il, who has hardly lived in his own dormitory recently. He would have to, too, because the spacious and neat villa of the Yvrose family was registered as Elaine’s follower house, so Seong-il used to enjoy lodging and lodging there when he stayed in the world of Mythology.
‘I’m going to have to develop a habit of visiting the inn unconditionally at least once a day.’
The time when Seong-il thought that he could get unnecessary misunderstandings by only chasing convenience. Aaron takes a pamphlet out of his arms and hands it to Seong-il.
“Task force related to magic imprint…? 1st performance presentation…?”
“That’s right. For a little over a month, prominent professors from the school gathered to secretly study imprinting and figured out the possibility, and they’re going to announce the results today.”
“Bur… Already?”
Seong-il looks tired at Aron’s words that he even announced tangible results within the academy in just over a month.
“The reason why mystic arts got attention is because the mechanism was incredibly creative, not because it was difficult.
‘Well, the reason Yuna’s magic imprint became popular in the detective world was because of its high popularity.’
Yuna’s magic engineering mark that was created so that countless people could benefit from magic. Considering the reason she created the secret art, it was not surprising that the professors, who were masters of magic, learned the secret art easily and quickly.
***
‘That’s a lot…’
It seems that almost all professors in the academy participated. It seemed that they had gathered almost twice as many as the professors who had previously gathered urgently for negotiations.
“Oh! Is this the same friend?”
“Right.”
“A friend who provided a secret technique that might take our world to the next level! That’s amazing!”
“…I only relayed it, but the developer of the secret technique is different.”
“Haha!! Well, the reason why it was passed on to us is important!! If you weren’t here, the secret could have gone unnoticed and buried!”
A handsome, bald professor who probably has supernatural powers. After talking loudly, he smiles kindly, pats Seongil on the back, and starts to sit down nearby.
‘Looks like I’m the only student.’
It is probably an early presentation, and since the content of the presentation is so important, it seems that the presentation is strictly centered on the faculty. Seong-il feels uncomfortable when all the unusual characters settle in his vicinity.
“Thank you all for gathering.”
‘Oh… Professor Ahindel…’
A professor who is very familiar to Seong-il appears. As Professor Ahindel sits at the center of the lecture hall and recites an opening speech, Seong-il forgets his tension for a moment and concentrates on his words.
“First of all… As the professors gathered here know, we succeeded in receiving a new concept of magic imprinting from a southern great wizard who did not want to reveal his name.”
So, Ahindel calmly recites the concept of Yuna’s magical engineering imprint and the process of obtaining it.
“…Over the past month, we have created a task force of about 20 wizards and psychics to study the possibility of occult with all our might, and we gathered these busy people to present the results.”
‘No wonder. Didn’t you fully develop your secret arts? Maybe they’re trying to announce whether or not they’ve achieved transcendental death based on their imprint?’
Literally, based on the research of the past month, it seems to be presenting the research on the ‘possibility’ of transcendental history using imprinting. As the research achievements seem less radical than expected, Seong-il feels much more at ease.
“First of all, this is a possibility that we have identified through our research.”
Images and materials that appeared on the wall of the podium by applying magic that seemed to be fantasy magic. It is revealed what kind of researches about 20 wizards and professors with psychic powers have joined forces to try.
‘What do you mean?’
Apart from their skills, Seong-il cannot understand what they are saying because of their low academic literacy in magic.
‘Since most of my knowledge itself is psychic or modern knowledge, it is difficult to understand magic even with the help of nanomachines.’
Seong-il, who even lectured on supernatural powers. He was very bored, but he desperately puts up with boredom and listens to the lectures of professors in order to record lectures to his followers.
“…As a result of the experiment, based on this secret technique, we seem to have succeeded in creating a ‘transcendental temple’. Although limited.”
“What!!!!!”
A murmur erupted from all sides. At Professor Ahindel’s words that, although limited, the long-cherished wish of the world of Mythology has been resolved, the hall begins to buzz as if a bomb has hit it.
‘Oh… Did you really succeed in this?’
And Seong-il looks at the scene with interest. In the meantime, Ahindel and his professors calmly subdue the excitement in the hall and continue their conversation.
“…However, it has yet to completely compensate for the instability of mysticism.”
“Is it unstable? Can I ask what level it is?”
A question from an older-looking psychic professor. Ahindel nodded and replied.
“…First of all, it is impossible to freely use magic using magic like a sorcerer with the current secret technique.”
“What do you mean…?”
“It means that it is possible to plant magic circuits in the mental world and memorize it like orthodox wizards do.”
Buzz buzz.
The hall became even more noisy at Ahindel’s words. They raise their hands and throw a barrage of questions, no matter who comes first.
“What is the casting speed? Memorize can cast magic more stably and faster than Sorcerer, instead of limiting the amount of magic cast per day…”
“How far can you rank?! It is said that a secret technique that imprints the power of the outer universe through meditation is forcibly performed, but it is possible to cast high-grade magic without imagery training…”
“The number that can be played in a day is…”
Confused gut. With too many questions being asked at once, the researchers at the podium frown as if their heads hurt.
“Stop!!”
“…”
Aaron, who was sitting next to Seong-il, suddenly gets up from his seat and yells at the professors in the hall. At his sudden action, everyone closed their mouths for a moment and looked at him.
“What are you doing!! The presenters are not allowed to ask questions yet!! Be polite!!”
“…”
The professors blush at the sight of Aaron speaking the truth. They bow their heads and begin to sit quietly, as if their excitement has subsided and shame rises.
“…Of course. As serious as the issue is, I understand everyone’s excitement. However, we are still in the middle of the experiment, so we don’t know the clear limits.”
Professor Ahindel lightly greeted Professor Aaron, who calmed the commotion in the hall. He uses the gap to spit out a story that has not yet been told.
“Hmm!? Then you mean it’s a secret technique that’s not yet perfect. But why a seminar?”
“To seek help.”
“…Help?”
At the sudden remark, the professors in the hall all look puzzled. To them, Ahindel begins to explain the difficulties the research team is experiencing.
“Obviously…The research is going smoothly, but it’s not without problems. The most important thing is the lack of ‘test subjects’.”
“Ah…”
Even though the explanation has not yet been completed, the intelligent professors spit out long bullets in unison as if they understood.
“I’ll be honest. We need a lot of ‘competent’ psychics. A clumsy psychic won’t be able to withstand the repulsive power of the occult we’re trying to develop.”
“That means…”
“Here at the faculty level, we would like to recruit applicants.”
“Um…”
In fact, the professors said they wanted him as a test subject. In particular, people with supernatural powers look worried all at once.
“I know what you’re worried about. As we plan to forcibly improve the still incomplete esoteric, problems may arise for the test subjects.”
“…”
“That’s why we need ‘skillful’ professor-level psychics. Those who can suppress a considerable amount of mana runaway with their own abilities.”
‘I think they’re trying to develop a secret technique that’s one step ahead of the existing magic engineering inscription developed by Yuna…’
Seong-il looks very interested in Ahindel’s words. However, apart from that, internal energy in the body, Sunyang delay, shadow secret arts, nanomachines, etc. Seong-il, who has many secrets, is completely silent and decides that he will never apply as an experimenter.
“…I will support you.”
“Professor Aaron!!!”
Aaron suddenly got up from his seat and raised his hand. All the professors in the hall look at him with surprised expressions.
“That Aaron…?”
The professors at the academy knew that Professor Aron was secretly anti-magical.
However, since he didn’t cross the line and was the first genius among geniuses in decades, everyone just kept quiet, and everyone knew he was a witch hater.
Because of this, when he, who had caused frequent friction with wizards, volunteered to be a magic subject, not only wizards but also psychic people were surprised.
“What is everyone so worried about?”
“…?”
“We are now in front of an epoch that may save our world. Are you going to pass up the opportunity to leave your mark on the history of eternal knowledge as a scholar before you were a mage?”
“!!!!”
Aaron’s words made the heads of the professors ring. Certainly, Aaron’s words resonate with them because they were scholars digging into a discipline before supernatural powers and wizards.
“…I’ll support you too.”
‘Oh, who is that?’
When the Lord of the Abyss ran rampant in the past, an unknown psychic professor appeared with a huge greatsword and cut off his huge hand.
When he raises his hand to start volunteering and supports Professor Aron, nearby psychic professors also raise their hands one by one as if gaining courage and volunteer to become test subjects.
‘Oh… It’s going well?’
Seong-il naturally feels a strong sense of duty from the professors in the field through his reaction.
‘Hmm…? But something…’
Seong-il feels her strange feeling tickling her senses of herself.
‘What? I’m sure things will go smoothly… But at the same time, I feel something ‘unpleasant’?’
In this scene, Seong-il starts to feel a little uneasiness because positive and negative feelings are felt at the same time.
‘Couldn’t it be… If I intervene now, the problem will be resolved?’
Seong-il did not want to be noticed in the world of possible Mythology Academy. So, when he was wondering whether he should participate in the experiment, Gamyeong injects thrilling emotions into him.
‘Are you saying it’s not now…?’
A clear feeling of ‘opposite’ felt in response. Seong-il feels that in this situation, he should not intervene.
‘In short… The reaction from reading the law of causality seems to be advising me to intervene when something will happen sooner or later because of this incident…’
It’s a cool feeling when you think about it. Seong-il could feel that his thoughts were correct.
‘…I must never take my eyes off the process of research on the magic imprint.’
