Possessed in a Thousand Novels - Chapter 84
11. Pink Saint (6)
Even though a semester had already passed, magic practice was still a subject that made students nervous.
The reason for this was the unique dangers of the subject and Kim Cheol-soo’s scolding like a ghost when he was about to lose his mind, but the biggest thing was the content of the class that made a variety of cartoons.
Incredible teachers with an average of 5.7 circles showed off their magic and creativity in all subjects and gave students extraordinary tasks, especially in magic practice, where unlimited virtual reality through magic blocking, virtual reproduction, and fantasy magic was more effective. As soon as it was over, teachers who were not under control went wild and went wild.
These people were even graduates of the academy decades ago, and they even muttered darkly, saying, ‘We should give back several times what we have suffered.’ Quite a few students actually heard these words. I witnessed firsthand the chain of malice and hatred that continued.
The tasks these teachers create never overlap, whether it’s escaping a slave market, finding and restoring a scattered magical device on a sinking ship, or being dropped into the middle of a war or a zombie apocalypse and asking you to survive or be exterminated – no one can help you. The students were made to suffer all kinds of hardships, such as sneaking in without being detected and retrieving the target, or twisting the chronological order.
Among them, there were assignments that went straight into the novel. Although it was not very large, it was a task that boasted an insane quality as the entire capital city, which is the background of the book, was realized.
How surprised were you when you first encountered that task? In terms of industry, it is said that the 5th circle of the world of Akashiu, which is greatly developed, boasts a level of applicability that is comparable to that of the 7th circle wizards of most other worlds, but deep down, Siu was considered a low-power world compared to the arch mages of other worlds, so it was even more difficult. There was a lot of reflection.
If it had gotten to this point, the students would have felt more fun than nervous, but the problem was the evaluation. All classes are always included in the evaluation, but magic practice in particular was often a fatal blemish as it often collapsed uncontrollably due to a single mistake.
Of course, everything will be taken into consideration when grading, but this is not necessarily the case for those who are always praised as geniuses, and at the beginning of the school year, there were quite a few students who secretly cried in their dormitories. It was a moment when the pride and self-esteem that had been built up for a long time collapsed and were shattered by harsh reality.
Only three people are free from the shackles of this terrible competition. There were only Elia and Han Seo-yeon, who always maintained the top rankings, and Si-woo, who had completely let go of their grades. Yooyoung wasn’t good at it, but she was in an ambiguous position that she couldn’t give up.
However, I don’t know about the first two, but it would be unfair to put Si-woo in the same group – strangely enough, the female students in the same group liked it – but in group-making assignments, he was usually placed in the same group as Eli and Seo-yeon. It was a selection that also served as a kind of additional penalty.
This is the best because these are tasks that the two can easily solve on their own anyway, so Elia just sees it as an opportunity to have a fun conversation with her friend, and Seoyeon sees it as a good date time. She dismantled all the zombies in the area, and when she saw Seo-yeon clinging to Si-woo, complaining that she lacked magical power, there was no need to say that even Kim Cheol-soo in the world touched his forehead.
For that reason, Elia and Siu formed a group to participate in today’s magic practice.
Today’s task is space navigation. Starting from one asteroid, the task was to land on the target asteroid by intercepting or twisting the path of meteorites flying in disorder, and sometimes colliding with or blocking each other. <BR>
Siwoo, who can only use magic missiles, was also able to participate in this task, so his body gained strength for the first time in a long time. That doesn’t mean I did it because I wanted to lose grades, but when the opportunity came, I wanted to do well, so it was natural for me to be motivated.
The space navigation that began like this was initially carried out by Elia alone, without Siwoo having to do anything. Before Elia departs, she observes and calculates the trajectories of the target asteroid and the current asteroid, and she analyzes the likely obstruction paths of nearby asteroids. She took it a step further and analyzed her surroundings to see if there was any way to accelerate further and reduce the risk.
At first glance, she seemed to be overly relaxed. The faster these assignments were completed, the better the score. However, she was the type of person who didn’t care about Elia’s grades even though she was at the top level. And since that composure was usually what differentiated Elia from her other students, she wasn’t entirely wrong about Elia.
“Calculation is complete.”
“Good. What is the sailing route?”
“There is a huge asteroid approaching diagonally from behind, so I plan to accelerate toward the satellite and get to the target.”
The asteroid, which was incomparably huge compared to others, was a device that greatly distorted the surrounding meteorites, making prediction difficult and adding irregular obstruction paths, while also disrupting flight and moving the target asteroid further away.
Elia proposes that she use the obstruction device to its advantage.
“Swing-by navigation? “That thing is smaller than the moon. Is it possible?”
“Sure. Instead, you have to get your timing right.”
“Then when do you leave?”
“That… “
After Elia silently held Siu’s left hand, she bound Siu and her body with magic. She was originally supposed to fly separately, but since Siwoo does not have magic to use propulsion, it is inevitable.
And Elia suddenly kicked her to the ground.
“Right now!”
A sudden acceleration that causes the entire body’s organs to sink and vision to become compressed. Siwoo was startled and stopped breathing for a moment.
What would it feel like if the gyro drop worked in reverse? It wasn’t as scary as her descent, but it felt like her nerves had been electrocuted, making it difficult for her to calm down.
Elia cheers behind her. Siwoo turned her head and looked at Elia.
Then Elia, feeling her gaze, spoke.
“How is it? “I thought about the roller coaster at the amusement park I went to during summer vacation and tried it. Isn’t it exhilarating?!”
“You… ! … “It was exhilarating and good.”
“Then that’s enough!”
As Elia’s relationship with Si-woo deepened, she tended to become more comfortable with him. If she were any other student, she would have calmly counted down the seconds and used this as an opportunity for a mischievous surprise.
Siwoo thought that becoming friends was a good thing, but he didn’t know why.
“This feels so amazing. “It’s definitely very fast, but it doesn’t have much of a sense of speed.”
“Yes? “Me too!”
Fortunately, the air in outer space is thin, so once I got used to it, I didn’t feel any particular sense of speed. Likewise, because the air was thin, the two did not experience friction and accelerated endlessly.
“Okay then, let’s keep accelerating. First of all, up to at least 10 Mach!”
“10 Mach?! “Is that okay?”
“If everything goes according to plan, there will be no problem. “Now, let’s go!”
The route chosen by Elia is a route with a change of route through swing by in mind., There were far fewer asteroids deployed compared to the original straight path.
There was a limit to acceleration in a straight path due to a mass of obstructions as dense as a planetary ring, but the two traveling in a diagonal line with a wide angle were able to achieve speeds much higher than that.
That is when Elia clears away the rare obstacles and the orbit and path of the huge asteroid coincide.
Elia and Siu’s path curved as if they had attached a rope to the asteroid, and they began to accelerate rapidly by receiving the asteroid’s energy. Swing-by navigation using acceleration using gravity. The feeling of being dragged by a natural object that was overwhelmingly larger than a human being was enough to make even Siwoo feel a sense of awe.
The moment they escaped the asteroid’s gravitational field, Siwoo and Elia’s directions were pointing exactly to the target asteroid.
The real problem started now. The area near the target asteroid was full of asteroids no matter which direction it entered, so interception was essential no matter which direction it entered. On the contrary, the fixed straight route has the lowest density.
Originally, they would have slowed down and broken through slowly, but Elia and Siwoo did not do that. While sailing, Elia, who deployed automated interception magic, and Siwoo, who had a range of several kilometers with a single magic missile, advanced at incredible speeds, destroying asteroids.
In particular, Siwoo’s performance was dazzling. The speed of the two was so fast that they could not see and deal with the planet with the reaction speed of humans, so Siwoo just formed a barrage with numerous magic missiles and cleared the way. All of the asteroids hit by his magic missile were completely destroyed. Siwoo felt a little strange here, but focused more on processing them for now.
After struggling to clear the path, the target asteroid began to come into view. Normally, it would be time to slow down and land. However, Elia did not do anything other than flip her body upside down.
“What are you thinking?”
“I know one magic! “That’s enough!”
“Really?”
“Sure!”
Siwoo decided to trust Elia and prepared for her shock.
And crash. The two crashed into the target asteroid at a speed exceeding 30 kilometers per second.
But surprisingly, the two suffered no injuries or side effects.
“… “How did you do it?”
“It’s nothing special, it’s just an application of landing magic.”
This is an application. Siwoo laughed as if it were absurd.
Landing magic is only used when you need to jump off a low-rise building and evacuate. Used to minimize injuries by canceling out most of the effects of reaction and inertia during a collision.
If we were to use this to the extent that no damage is caused to an object that collides at a speed exceeding 30 kilometers per second, especially a fragile object such as a human being, it would already be considered a realm of reinvention.
“Okay, so. What is our score?”
Elia looks up into outer space and speaks with confidence. She wasn’t greedy for points herself, but she looked proud because she wanted to give Shiwoo as many points as she could.
The scenery of the universe disappearing as if in response. When I returned to reality, I saw the teacher who created this virtual reality with his mouth wide open. After all, even he would not have considered shortening his record to this extent.
Kim Cheol-soo must have been surprised this time, and he too answered a beat late.
“… It exceeds the theoretical value set by the creator, so it is A+ or higher. “This case will be recorded separately.”
“It’s a success!”
Elia and Siwoo lightly high-fived and walked outside. The attitude is that there is no further feedback to be heard since it is outside of the producer’s expectations. That was also true.
As space navigation itself requires a long period of time, it was a task intended to be an ultra-long-term strategy that efficiently distributes magical energy without wasting it, while maintaining concentration for a long time… There was nothing more to say as he destroyed everything with a technique that was close to perfection. In anticipation of good results, Cheolsu and the producer directly observed the event instead of having assistants take their place like other groups.
However, that was not the part that surprised Cheolsu.
‘Hmm, no matter how I look at it, this is…’
Cheolsu operated the device instead of the teacher, who was still mesmerized. First, I backed up the results and returned them to the initially configured environment.
However, there were rare omissions in the initial settings that were restored.

These were asteroids hit by Siu’s magic missile.
‘… Also.’
As Cheolsu filled the asteroid again as he remembered, he recalled the scene he had seen earlier.
A scene that the teacher next to me could not see. The scene where the magic imitating an asteroid was destroyed when touched by Siwoo’s magic missile.
It is the dream and nightmare of all intelligence agencies in the world, the enemy of all corporations, the friend of terrorists, and the archenemy of security.
The most difficult magic in the world, which can only be used after a long period of research into one magic.
People called that magic, dispel.
