Chapter 659 – Mythology Academy
‘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?’
However, Seong-il quickly dismisses the question.
If the original game sets up a schedule like Princess Maker, a short animation flashes past to briefly inform only what schedule was completed, so Seong-il thinks that there may be enough settings that he is not aware of.
And while Seong-il was lost in his thoughts for a while, Professor Aaron looked at Seong-il and said.
“How to use the crystal is very simple. First of all, how about expressing the telekinesis of the level you injected into the marble you floated before and projecting it onto the crystal?”
“Yes.”
In any case, his skills must have been exposed again to some extent. Seong-il gives up on rolling his hair and calmly projects his psychokinesis.
“Okay. Now think of that telekinesis as a medium and inject magic into the crystal based on that. The ratio is roughly 1:1.”
‘…That’s simple?’
Seong-il silently grumbles at Professor Aron’s demanding request. However, without showing off, I focused on his request as much as possible and calmly let go of my energy through telekinesis.
‘It’s tricky.’
Naegong is mainly used for strengthening the body, or purified and used for pure Yanggang, telekinesis, etc. Since most of the cases are used with other powers, Seongil feels a sense of difference in drawing out his internal energy so purely, and shows a slight difficulty in adapting to it.
‘Done…!!’
However, Seong-il, who had succeeded in mastering the internal air and body perfectly through intense training and actual combat over the past time, eventually succeeds in projecting power as Aaron requested.
“Okay, you’re doing great. Now project that power steadily and evenly.”
Seong-il, in a super-concentrated state, repeats steadily injecting magic into the crystal according to Professor Aron’s request.
‘Hmm…?!’
Seong-il then feels that his mind is becoming hazy. In addition, I feel that her emotions are also starting to become sensitive.
‘Could it be that this crystal is something that makes the user sensitive to emotions…?’
That time when I was worried about this and that in such a sensitive state. Professor Aaron’s voice is heard in Seongil’s ears.
“Okay. Would you like to try meditating with your eyes closed now?”
“…”
Seong-il quietly closes his eyes and starts meditating as he said. Then something resonated strongly in her head. Seong-il feels a severe hallucination approaching with intense stimulation.
‘…Hallucination? But, I have an absolute mental barrier provided by the game master? Why?’
I couldn’t deny that the crystal in front of me was an extraordinary item. Apart from that, the mental barrier provided by the game master was at a level that even ‘Abyss’, one of the absolute gods of the cursed throne world in the past, could not penetrate.
Seong-il is shocked and feels his composure shake when he sees an artifact of a fairly high level at best trying to penetrate such a strong mental barrier.
“Concentrate. It doesn’t matter if emotions run out of control. The uniformity of mana input must not be broken.”
And Professor Aron warns Seong-il in a strong tone, as if he felt the embarrassment beside him.
‘No, even if you fucking say that…’
Seong-il internally grumbles that Professor Aron is saying that because he doesn’t know how unconventional the situation he’s going through is.
Because of this, Seong-il, whose composure was out of control, was contemplating whether to stop injecting magic power and wake up from meditation. Suddenly, an invisible augmented reality unfolds in front of his eyes, and a message appears.
“It happened because I gave permission. Fool.”
‘Ah, the game master gave permission!?’
Seong-il, who finally realizes why such an anomaly has occurred, feels that his mind is quickly stabilized.
‘If the game master allowed it, it must be a situation that will help me.’
Thanks to understanding the situation, Seong-il puts down her thoughts and continues to meditate, stably and evenly pouring her magical energy into the crystal.
“Kuh…!!”
And the extreme confusion that penetrates the mind as time goes by. Seong-il feels all sorts of situations passing before his eyes.
His childhood was tragic due to his life in the apocalypse world. Then, the brutal and inhuman short college days pass before his eyes.
Soon after, he realizes the truth of the world through Ilax, and is reminded by his game master that his real parents died in a tragic accident.
Even for a short time, while working as a hunter in the ark, he passes his eyes to the image of a freedman digging a crypt in the underground and enduring miserably.
‘Want to change…!!’
When Seong-il sees the remorseful scene, he feels an extremely strong desire welling up. And his mana begins to boil accordingly.
‘…But, even if I fight the aliens and win, my past destroyed by them won’t be compensated.’
Seong-il has a strong hatred for aliens and falls into the thought of wanting to restore his ruined life without even realizing it.
‘If only I could turn back time…’
As the young feelings of remorse grow stronger, surprisingly, the magical power that radiates from Seong-il’s hand begins to change into a strange power.
“That power…”
And Professor Aron, who was watching the whole situation from the side, uncharacteristically broke his poker face and looked at the power that Seong-il had manifested in a daze with a startled expression on his face.
Brilliant magical power mixed with silver and gold. At first glance, it has transformed into an unusual power, and it strongly catches the attention of the audience.
“Kuh… Whoa… Whoa…”
Seong-il feels that his inner energy is quickly exhausted when the corresponding power is manifested. As he struggled to open his eyes from exhaustion, Seong-il could also see a strange power exerted.
‘…I feel like the time around me has strangely slowed down?’
For some reason, Seong-il feels that the world has slowed down twice as fast as usual.
‘Is it like a deceleration field?’
In order to grasp the strange situation unfolding before his eyes, Seong-il secretly turns his head and looks around. However, to his surprise, he realizes that his body moves normally and quickly, unlike the slowed down surroundings.
“Kuh…!!”
The time when I fell into a trance and grasped the situation without caring about the eyes of the people around me. Seong-il gritted his teeth, feeling that his inner energy was quickly exhausted.
‘Crazy…!? After I successfully mastered the Heaven, Earth, Yin and Yang Intercepting Art 11 stars, the total amount of my internal energy increased like the sea, and if I could feel it running out, what the hell…?!’
Seong-il is frightened at the amount of consumption that was the same as that of using Hwanghae Jingyeong, and stops the act of mixing telekinesis and magical power in his hand.
“Haha…”
In order to calm his pounding head and danteon, Seong-il uses the combat meditation he learned a while ago to make Bun-hon restore his magical power.
“Are you okay?”
Professor Aaron, who grasped the unstable state of Seong-il, quickly approaches him and asks how he is doing.
“It’s okay. Although it consumes a little more mana…”
“I’m glad.”
Professor Aron nods his head and replies, perhaps feeling relieved after seeing Seong-il’s words and his condition.
“…Actually, I didn’t think the transformation would really succeed. It’s great that you succeeded.”
“Ah, yes… Thank you.”
If Professor Aron, who usually has little emotional ups and downs and is stingy with praise, says this, Seong-il realizes that the special transformation he succeeded a moment ago is truly amazing.
“So, how do you feel about the successful special transformation?”
“…I didn’t feel much except for the feeling that the surroundings were a bit slowed down. Could my unique trait be a deceleration field or a transformation specializing in accelerating my physical condition?”
Seong-il wants to receive serious advice from Professor Aron, an expert in this field, and he honestly tells what he feels.
“Acceleration? Deceleration field? Ha, comparing what you’ve shown to something like that is an insult to your own traits.”
“…What is that?”
At the solemn words of Professor Aron, Seong-il realizes that the conversion of magical traits he has awakened is by no means ordinary and asks him.
“Perhaps it’s the power of time. The unique traits you manifested have a strong influence on the time around you. That’s why the surroundings seemed slow to you.”
“…!!”
After hearing what Professor Aron said, Seong-il is really startled and in a daze he just listens to him.
“By the way, it’s unusual. The power of time. It’s a powerful and great authority, so it’s manifested. It’s hard to realize.”
“…”
“I wonder why a young student like you would have such a longing for time.”
Professor Aron muttered to Seong-il with a slightly incomprehensible expression on his face.
“It can’t be… It can’t be?!”
In the meantime, in the corner of the classroom, out of nowhere, someone muttered in an astonished voice as if possessed.
“…?”
Seong-il naturally turns his head to look in that direction. And the appearance of the main character Lanz Ludian.
“What?”
“Ah… No. I’m sorry.”
Lanz realizes that she has indulged her moment in her excitement, so she looks embarrassed and quickly apologizes, then sits back down.
‘Why is that bastard acting like that?’
Knowing that Lanz is not an ordinary person, she secretly keeps an eye on Lanz while exchanging questions and answers with Professor Aron.
“…Can it be? That guy must have a special trait of a low mental system? Why did he awaken the temporal system?”
“!!!”
Lanz mutters something of hers in a very low voice, with a confused expression on her face.
Originally, it was a very small recitation. Everyone in the hall, including Seong-il, should not have heard his muttering.
However, Seong-il, whose body has become a superhuman through martial arts training, is able to hear his chanting because he is concentrating on him, and is shocked to hear the contents.
‘That’s right. In the original game, as Lantz said, Golden Sun used special traits of the mental system as his main skill.’
‘That’s why, if the main character can’t properly manage his personal connections, he’ll lose Elaine and other heroines to him.’
Seong-il tries to figure out the situation by quickly pulling out thoughts related to the original character he is currently in charge of in the world of Mythology.
‘…How the hell does that bastard know Lanz? You probably haven’t played the game like me!?’
Even Lantz’s information was accurate. Because of this, Seong-il feels goosebumps running through his body after hearing Lanz’s muttering.
‘That bastard… There’s a secret I don’t know. It’s clear.’
Seong-il could smell something dark and secret from Lantz. Because of that, he was wary of looking at Lanz. Professor Aron taps Sungil on the shoulder to get his attention.
“Are the aftereffects still remaining? It seems like he can’t concentrate.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. For some reason, the consumption of magical power became extremely severe in an instant. The aftereffects made my head ache for a moment…”
Seong-il uses his wits at Aaron’s point and comes up with a plausible excuse. Surprisingly, Professor Aron nodded his head as if he understood and expressed his agreement, perhaps being persuaded by the excuse.
“That’s right. Having taken control of the small space and time around you, even for a moment, the consumption of mana has to be enormous. After class, meditate for a while to calm your mind and body.”
“Yes, thank you.”
After giving Seong-il some light advice, Professor Aron looks at the students and begins to explain the current situation.
At the same time, in what form can be uniquely transformed. Also, he repeats explaining how to practice.
“Any questions?”
“I… I have a question!!”
Normally, the students would not have been able to easily ask questions unless they were certain because they were intimidated by the cold Professor Aaron. The students raise their hands and ask questions more enthusiastically than usual, probably inspired by Seong-il’s successful special transformation.
“Ah, in that case…”
And perhaps the scene was quite satisfying to Professor Aron, who is cold and cold, but unlike him, the professor answers all questions meticulously one by one in a friendly tone.
However, away from the atmosphere of the passionate class, Seong-il sits around and contemplates something alone under the guise of a break.
‘…First of all, tonight. Enter Professor Aaron’s dream and inject information related to imprinting!’
Seong-il feels a strange sense of uneasiness over what Lantz muttered earlier, so he wants to quickly finish the work he had been putting off.
First of all, if I can finish the engraving gun, I can solve the problems of this world perfectly as soon as possible.
