Chapter 658 – Mythology Academy
When Seong-il thinks of how Aaron must have laughed at his poor performance, he feels his head pounding with shame.
“Now, do you still think that the homework I gave you is unreasonable?”
“…”
Whether Seong-il is like that or not, Professor Aron looks at the dissatisfied students and asks them for their opinions. However, when the students do not answer, perhaps because of his pride, he gives an ultimatum after lightly snorting.
“Okay. I guess you still don’t understand. So let’s do this. I’ve added it over and over again this semester, if I can control the beads as much as Han Seong-il floated in the air today, I’ll take responsibility and make all the psychic major classes grade A+.”
“!!!”
Professor Aaron’s unconventional proposal. The students look tempting when he hears that he will make all the other classes with the highest grades in addition to the classes he is in charge of.
“However, as much as the opportunity was given, the opposite must also be true, right?
“Hick…!!”
It was a while that I was a little tempted. When Professor Aaron speaks of the penalty in a sad tone, the students on the podium feel their excitement go away and their heads go cold.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m presumptuous.”
When reason returns, the students on the podium calmly ponder the gap between themselves and the holy day. The more they do, the more they think that they will not be able to achieve the conditions Professor Aron put forward with their talents, and they quickly apologize to the professor.
‘Uh… It’s a misology academy where you’ll be expelled immediately if you accumulate a certain level of remuneration. If you show your pride and get expelled…’
Seong-il thinks inwardly that it is fortunate that his classmates seem to cool their heads and make rational decisions only at the last minute.
And, as if Professor Aron was also satisfied with that polite attitude, he returns the students to their places and proceeds with the next class.
“Okay, now that the small commotion is over, let’s go back to the basics. Once the control of magical power is over, the next step. What is transformation?”
‘Oh, this is something I’ve been curious about too.’
Having always been interested in elemental transformations used by wild psychics such as Blue and Red, Seong-il listens to Professor Aron’s question and pays attention to his words with a curious expression.
“…”
However, the hall is silent. It seemed that the students could not easily raise their hands because they had seen their classmates in front of them humiliated.
“Based on the magic originating from the inner microcosm, ignoring the original physical laws and rearranging the laws of the world according to the will of the psychic.”
“Answer.”
In the midst of silence, a neat answer suddenly came out of the corner. There, a handsome man with impressive silver hair raised his hand.
‘Oh, it’s like a main character?’
Seong-il admires Lanz inwardly as he sees Lanz answering with a serious expression as the jealous expression disappears before he knows it.
“You’ve given a great answer, one more question. So what do you think a ‘native’ trait change is?”
“…”
To Professor Aaron’s additional question, Lanz stands in his place for a while, contemplates something before answering him.
“I think that the unique trait change is a phenomenon that is manifested by applying power to the imagination that the caster longed for most. That’s why it has a very strong personality.”
Lanz Ludian answers Professor Aron’s question through the liquidation flow. But, for some reason, Aaron puts on a slightly ambiguous expression before she replies to him.
“Hmm… It’s a bit of a half-answer, but… That opinion has a point. In the unique realm, it’s true that what the caster longs for consciously and unconsciously is embodied in the real world through magic.”
“…But why half?”
Lanz asks Professor Aron back with an expression of incomprehension whether he was dissatisfied with what he said.
Rather than being displeased with that appearance, Professor Aron seemed to be proud of it, and after smiling uncharacteristically, replied in a gentle tone.
“It’s simple! Sometimes there are people who don’t have a particular wish! Or there are cases where there is no need to manifest it with superpowers.”
“Ah…”
Lanz, who is intelligent as to why Aaron said it was half, makes an expression of understanding right away after hearing his half question.
“Well, of course, as Lantz-kun said, since most people with psychic powers constantly practice imagery such as self-reflection and meditation, there is a high possibility that they have something they want without realizing it.
In that case, there are many cases where you unknowingly wish for the desired power. At the same time, little by little, without even realizing it, your understanding of that power increases.”
‘Hmm… Then, do I have the power I want subconsciously? No, that’s the game master?’
While listening to Aron’s explanation, Seong-il tries to think of what he has longed for.
‘No matter how much I think about it, I’m a gamer, so I think the game master is my special transformation? Then I can’t transform anymore?’
Seong-il’s expression darkened slightly after he guessed that. In the midst of that, Professor Aron calmly continues to explain the special transformation.
“However, as I said before, there are not a few cases where you don’t have the power you want.
In this case, it would be natural, but unlike the former, whose imagery is unconsciously completed to some extent, since everything has to be built from scratch, the training is slow and difficult.”
‘Oh yeah… Am I the latter?’
Seong-il doesn’t mind training hard, so he hopes that his own transformation will not make him a game master.
Of course, he knew that this was greed, but it was also true that he needed too much strength to even have a chance against the mighty enemy of aliens.
“However! If you try to acquire a special transformation, you can reduce your abilities according to your current needs or needs, so it’s not necessarily a bad thing.”
After finishing his words, Professor Aaron stretched out his hand and spewed powerful flames over his hand.
“Fire and cold are natural phenomena that humans encounter very naturally in their lives, and they are abilities that are most closely related to life.
“Uh…Yes? What?”
Seong-il, who was lost in thought for a while at Professor Aron’s words to do something out of the blue, looks at him in surprise.
“Of course it’s elemental transmutation, right? Let’s start.”
“…”
Seong-il was taken aback by Professor Aron’s disregard for his own opinion, but he calmly opened his hand and tried telekinesis as he did before.
‘Keuk… I can’t do it anymore. Is it because the use of inner energy is limited?’
Perhaps because he did not want to reveal his skills to Professor Aaron, Seong-il had limited his internal energy output.
Maybe that’s why, he feels like the transformation of telekinesis is a little more difficult than when he was secretly alone.
“Concentrate! The amount of telekinesis in your hands right now is enough for transformation. Nevertheless, if you can’t, it’s because you’re not concentrating!”
“No… Even if you say so…”
It might be a situation where he practiced a lot, but it’s been less than 30 minutes since he tried transforming, and when Aaron notices him, Seong-il feels annoyed.
“Focus on the time to talk. See you all. This is where a lot of mistakes are made when first transmuting.
It’s a situation where you don’t know what to do because you’re not used to it. In this case, the best way is to strongly ‘wish’.”
‘Desire…’
Seong-il could feel something in that word. As much as he has grown, his sensitivity has become sharper, so Seong-il feels that he should not ignore this feeling.
“Let all students, including Seongil-gun, remember that supernatural powers are beings who overlay their ‘desire’ on reality through the infinite microcosm inside them!
The most important thing is concentration and strong desire. If you carve that into your body, you can distort the laws of physics around you.”
‘I think I know something…’
Aaron feels that he has a sense of what Professor Aaron is talking about, albeit clumsily. Then, naturally, he falls into a half-trance and recalls the first time he entered the world of Pocket Girls.
An encounter with beautiful red. And her ability to manipulate flames, which she has demonstrated. And the envy she felt then begins to fill her head.
‘I wanted to have that ability too. Because of the sadness of being a non-combatant!’
The time when Seongil thought so. Interestingly, the telekinesis in his hand begins to rapidly suck up his energy and transforms into something new.
Roaring!!
“And…”
“…Wasn’t the cold that I showed you earlier? You can do it right away with flames like this?!”
“Genius is different…”
Exclamations of exclamation flowed from the mouths of the students watching the fierce flames that emerged from the hands of Seongil, who fell into a trance.
“Successful. Has everyone seen it?”
Professor Aron waves his palm in front of Seongil’s eyes and tells the students.
However, Seong-il, who is in a trance and is creating flames, completely ignores the gesture, and Professor Aaron, who sees it, emphasizes the importance of concentration to the students, leaving Seong-il behind.
“This requires a strong ‘desire’. In fact, what we call psychic power is a kind of ‘reality manipulation’. Of course, there are limits to human abilities, so psychic powers also have limits.”
‘Reality Manipulation…!!’
Seong-il feels a flash of consciousness at a certain word spoken by Professor Aron. And his flame fading, perhaps because of his distracted concentration.
“You’ve done a good job. But, from now on, keep training so that you can transform without over-concentration. The best thing to do is to meditate.”
“Ah, yes.”
Seong-il, who came to his senses, nodded his head with a dumbfounded expression at Professor Aron’s words.
‘Is this the end…?’
Seeing Professor Aron not saying anything, Seong-il carefully tries to return to his seat.
“Where are you going?”
“Ah, yes? I think it’s over, so I’m going back to my place to start class…”
“Who wants to end? Let’s go to the next step.”
“?”
Seong-il looks at Professor Aron with a puzzled expression when he hears that he just wants the transformation to succeed.
“Teacher. Bring it.”
“Ah! Yes!”
Either way, Professor Aaron makes his assistant bring something. Soon after, a strange crystal was placed in front of Seongil.
“Before the experiment, let me ask Seongil-gun. Do you have the power you’ve been longing for? Anything is fine.”
“Uh… Well…”
Seong-il strokes his chin at Professor Aron’s question and ponders it.
‘Looking at the situation, it seems like he’s talking about a special transformation… It’s the power I want.’
Seong-il ponders and looks back on his life.
However, in the past, I would have told Aron that I wanted to have special abilities such as body strengthening or a gravitational field to become a high-level psychic to get revenge on Ko Young-tae.
‘And the Game Master is at stake…’
Based on Aaron’s theory, Seong-il wonders if becoming a game master is his own ‘special trait’ that was manifested because of his ‘desire’.
‘But, being a game master is my special trait… Wasn’t that guy originally a part of the transcendent artificial intelligence created by aliens…? It’s ambiguous…’
After thinking about this and that, Seong-il eventually realizes that he does not have the ability he desperately desires. Although, to be precise, it is a situation he has already obtained.
“…No matter how much I think about it, there’s nothing in particular, right?”
“Right.”
Surprisingly, despite Seong-il’s answer, Professor Aron didn’t refute it, just nodded lightly and answered briefly.
“Gentlemen. Surprisingly, there are many cases where children from wealthy families like Han Seong-il do not have the ability they want.”
‘Actually, I’m from a poor family…’
Seong-il wanted to strongly refute Professor Aaron’s words, but he knew that uttering those words would dig his own grave, so he calmly shut his mouth and waited.
“But! In the deep consciousness, there may be the ability you want. This crystal I brought has the power to bring out the ability hidden in the subconscious.”
‘…Is there such a thing?’
Seong-il was proud to have played Mythology Academy quite a lot, but Seong-il was puzzled by the appearance of an item he had never heard of before.
‘Well, as long as the gamer doesn’t directly watch the class. Although I may not know… But if it’s something like that, wouldn’t it appear in a set book?’
