Chapter 841 – Mythology Academy
Professor Runan was a little dumbfounded, but he wasn’t stupid enough to dare to express a rude opinion in front of the dean, so he took the three people to the scene of the incident without making a show of it.
“This is…”
Something evil spawned in the center of a completely destroyed artifact storage facility. A fist-sized black sphere that seemed to be made of pure darkness was scattering horribly evil waves around it in a radius of 30 m.
“I and a few faculty members are sealing off the surrounding area to prevent students from falling victim to that evil force.”
Professor Runan explains that the evil sphere left behind by the Apostle of Tala took the life of one of the professors who tried to seal it.
“… Professor Iola, who was well versed in the barrier, tried to seal the evil power emanating from that sphere, but stopped…”
“…”
Upon hearing that the sphere took the life of a professor specializing in barriers, the group in the room all appear solemn.
In the beginning, as many as four professors died, including those who tried to subdue Lantz to stop his rampage.
Of course, considering that Tala is a powerful evil spirit, it may have seemed natural at first glance… But the problem is that the faculty gathered here at Mythology Academy are not people with ordinary abilities.
‘Actually, if you look at the reality, the Pocket Girls are all people with abilities close to S-class… But four of them are dead. It’s terrible.’
The close to 100 professors gathered here could be seen as the continent’s most talented and powerful people. Each one of them is so monstrous that it cannot be considered human.
If about ten professors from here joined forces to invade a small country, the castle would burn down in less than half a day. Therefore, the fact that four of them died meant that the situation was truly serious.
“… Hmm. It seems like a serious curse.”
“Yes. However, there is something unusual…”
“Unusual?”
The dean is puzzled by Professor Runan’s unexpected words. Professor Runan, who received the attention of the two, urgently opened his mouth and explained the situation.
“Apostle… So, in the past, the student called Lanz Ludian saved only one guard. And instead of sparing him, he was told to deliver one message.”
“… What was it?”
“It was said that this sphere would be cursed and die if unqualified beings came into contact with it. The apostle said that only the ‘demigods’ who protect our world could approach and destroy this sphere. That is nonsense. Demigods. I mean… I wonder where something like that exists…”
Professor Runan was so dumbfounded that he forgot that he was in front of the dean and made the mistake of adding a comment. However, instead of reprimanding Professor Runan, who blushes, the two deans look at Seongil with a grave expression.
“Whew… Was he trying to leave me a message?”
“It’s clear.”
“I can’t help it.”
Despite realizing that Tala is trying to play a dangerous game with her, Seongil moves towards the black sphere without hesitation.
“Wait!! What!! You can’t stop!!”
Of course, Professor Runan, who does not know this fact, is dumbfounded by Seong-il’s outrageous behavior and tries to stop him.
“Leave it alone. That student is the ‘demigod’ that Tala is talking about.”
“… Are you serious, Dean?”
Although he is a respected teacher, Professor Runan asks Dean Gerhardt with a puzzled expression, perhaps unable to understand the current situation.
Even other professors who heard the disturbance and were blocking the area came all at once and tried to dissuade Seong-il and the dean.
“No… Dean!! That guy is a freshman now. He’s got great talent… But he’s promising, but not like this!”
Among them was Professor Thorgrim, who resurrected the World Tree along with Seong-il. Thorgrim, who had always thought highly of Seongil, shouted at the dean with a slightly angry expression.
“It’s okay.”
“What does it mean to be okay? Are you crazy?”
Togrim was quite dumbfounded when he heard that the young student was going to approach the sphere of Tala, so he raised his voice and scolded him even though the two deans of the academy were in front of him.
“…”
In the past, Seong-il would have hidden his skills and pretended to be an ordinary student, but now there is no longer a need to hide his skills at Mythology Academy. Therefore, instead of answering, Seong-il raises all his skills and shows off his true skills to those around him.
“…!!”
As overwhelming power flows from the young psychic in front of me, the expressions of the psychics and wizard professors gathered around are filled with astonishment.
“Arunrabe. Protect your surroundings.”
Ignoring the shocked looks of those around him, Seong-il summons Arunrabe and once again spreads a powerful barrier around him. Now, as the young psychic in front of them pulls out a powerful artifact they have never seen before and uses a transcendental barrier, the quick-witted faculty realizes that the dean was not lying.
“What are you…?”
Professor Thorgrim, who believed he knew a little about Seongil, is shocked. Seongil glances at him and smiles.
“I’m sorry, Professor. I had no choice but to hide my skills in order to get rid of Tala and her henchmen.”
Seong-il, who shouted like that, even wraps his body like a protective shield, including the powerful triple fusion, to counter Tala’s unexpected moves.
Once the preparations are complete, Seong-il moves towards the black bead with his entire body covered in powerful power that shines like gold.
‘Should I just destroy it…?’
As it is a cunning foreign news agency, Seong-il considers whether it would be better to ignore its message and destroy it. However, as his emotions did not specifically warn of a crisis, he believed in his abilities and touched his sphere with his hand.
‘… I got caught fishing a little while ago, though. Tala had to pay a huge price to succeed in that simple fishing. If so…’
Seong-il is confident that that sphere will not cause any harm to him. He even still had extra elixir left.
“…!!”
As Seong-il confidently grabs the sphere, his surroundings instantly begin to become extremely dark. And the appearance of ‘Lantz Rudian’ appearing before your eyes.
『Nice to meet you.』
Lanz’s previous soft image is gone, and only a cold and cruel atmosphere remains. He looks at Seong-il and coldly shouts.
“What kind of nonsense are you going to do again?”
『Haha…!! I have a suggestion for you. Ah! Before that, let me show you something interesting. You will like it too. This is pretty fun.』
Tala does not listen to Seong-il’s answer and creates a strange illusion before his eyes in the world of darkness. The fantasy, like a bright environment, changes like a vivid movie.
『Here… This foolish kid… Had quite an inferiority complex towards you?』
The illusion shows Lantz’s past to Seong-il as if a film was being shown. He grew up as a promising talent in the Ludian family, but despite pressure from his family, he appears very skeptical about entering Mythology Academy.
『Is there really a need to enroll there? I think my family’s training methods are enough.』
『However, the great predecessors of the family all used to gain considerable enlightenment there. Lanz. Stop being so negative and try attending the briefing session at the Mythology Academy.』
In this way, the reason why Lanz Rudian, who was skeptical about entering the Mythology Academy despite the matriarch’s persuasion, tried to enroll in the academy unfolds before Seong-il’s eyes.
『Um… I am Lantz of the Ludian family. Are you…?』
“Huh? Me? I am Elaine Ibrose.』
Lanz feels his heart beat violently at the appearance of a beautiful girl who is only interested in reading a book, even with herself in front of him.
『… Are you also interested in entering the academy?』
“What? Isn’t that obvious!? Mythology Academy is a place where the greatest wise men on the continent gather! What kind of nonsense are you talking about?』
In response to Lanz’s question, the beautiful girl called Elaine was dumbfounded, asking if that was even a question. And once again, her beautiful face begins to fall into what appears to be a magic book.
『Over there…』
“Sorry. Because I’m busy. If you want to enter the academy, you have to study every minute and every second. If we get admitted, let’s talk then.』
Although she mistreats herself, Lantz cannot take his eyes off the beautiful girl in front of him for a while. Then, instead of bothering her, he calmly grabs her admission guide and begins to read it.
『Kukkuk… Fun, right?』
Tala whispers to Seong-il in a malicious tone. And Lantz’s whereabouts are revealed through fantasy. Naturally, Lanz, who has natural talent, succeeds in entering the Mythology Academy without much difficulty.
And he meets again the beautiful woman who made his heart beat like crazy.
『… You’ve become more beautiful than before.』
Unlike the time when she couldn’t take off her girlish appearance, Elaine has become dazzlingly beautiful with added maturity, perhaps because she has become an adult.
『This time, definitely…』
