The Reincarnated Person Became a Professor at the Academy - Chapter 49
49 – Victory is a must.
“Sigh.”
He quietly exhales.
The distinct, clear mana of dawn stirs inside him, locking his thoughts in contemplation.
Is it because of the newly acquired young dragon’s heart (A)?
‘The accumulation speed of mana is astonishingly fast.’
Accumulating mana, cultivation.
It is accumulating more than twice as fast as before.
《Trait: Young Dragon’s Heart accumulates flame mana.》
《Trait: Celestial Body (A) adjusts the physique.》
In the early morning, cultivation.
After finishing cultivation, he goes outside.
《Trait: Celestial Body (A) finely adjusts the physique. Strength increases by 1.》
With a heavier iron ring than before, he begins exercising.
The origin of unwavering determination lies in the pupils.
As she moves, the strengthening effect on her body accelerates.
“Heuk, huk, hooeukt!!”
Ignoring the peculiar sigh from Yoo Eunchae beside her, she continues to run around the playground.
Next is deciding what today’s class will be about.
‘The kids are faster than I thought.’
Maybe because I’m the teacher.
It was visible to the naked eye how the kids were growing rapidly.
Especially Yoo Eunchae.
It seemed like she was growing day by day, picking up something from somewhere and eating it.
“Heukheuk, is it right to torment a thin disciple like me like this?”
She pretends to shed tears without actually shedding any.
“I’m fine. I can do more.”
After breaking Nam Gungsega, Nam Hyelin, who became more determined, said next to her.
“But are you okay?”
“What?”
“No, next to you.”
I looked at Nam Hyelin.
Was it Nam Gung Mire? Sniffling with saliva and snot, she’s being dragged around by Nam Hyelin.
“……Uwah.”
From Noble mtl dot com
Yoo Eunchae exclaims at the sight of the mess.
However, she did not give up running.
“Heu… hweuk….”
“Aren’t you going to die like that?”
“I might die soon. It’s like giving back what I’ve experienced.”
“…It really is like hell training.”
“S-S-Save me….”
“Sister, can you do a little more?”
“Sto… stop….”
“I did a little more than this. I can learn the Emperor’s Sword Style.”
“Cough….”
Nam Gung Mire collapsed while foaming at the mouth.
Nam Hye Rin twisted her lips and skillfully called an ambulance.
“…It looks very familiar.”
“Because I’ve been doing this for two weeks straight….”
“But do they really teach the Emperor’s Sword Style?”
“They probably do, right?”
“Huh? The master doesn’t teach it?”
“No, I let go of the Emperor’s Sword Style.”
Because the Emperor’s Sword Style only had meaning when it broke Nam Gung.
It was useful even when the level was low.
‘How long will I remain weak?’
It was the moment of transition to the profound martial art, Pacheon Shingong.
“Eh.”
“If you want to learn that, go to Nam Hye-rin. From now on, I am Nam Gung-se.”
In response to my words, Yoo Eun-chae slowly looked at Nam Hye-rin.
“That’s quite a cool thing to say. From now on, Nam Hye-rin follows Nam Gung-se!”
“It’s not a wrong statement. I’ve learned the secrets of Nam Gung-se, the Thirteen Sword Trusts, Imperial Sword Forms, and the Law of the Mind, and the Infinite Protection.”
Everything symbolizing the family was passed down through knowledge.
How to incorporate it would be Nam Hye-rin’s lifelong task, but I’ve done my part.
“But, I want to learn from you, Master.”
“Why?”
Yoo Eun-chae silently pointed at Nam Hye-rin.
There, Nam Hye-rin, with a twisted smile, was tormenting Nam Gung-mi-ryeo.
“Sister, you can only do this much, and you’re making so much noise? You said it would be enough in a week because I learned the Imperial Sword Forms in just a month.”
“Grrr.”
“Sister, sister. Are you really going to give up here? If you do, then what you’re worse at than me is…”
“Kraaah!”
Nam Gung-mi-ryeo screamed, forcing herself to stand.
“For the first time, I feel sympathy for Nam Gung-mi-ryeo.”
“Is that so? I feel the same way.”
Nam Hye-rin is really tough.
…Come to think of it, I should have felt something strange about how she silently followed the hellish training without any complaints.
“She’s going to be really good at leading the kids later on.”
If there’s ever a need for a temporary instructor, she seems like the perfect fit.
After living three lives, you can somewhat read people’s characters.
If Yoo Eun-chae is a problematic child, then Nam Hye-rin…
“I could become a more ruthless mentor than myself.”
She gives off that vibe.
I may have a bit of ruthlessness, but she’s even more…
“But even so, she seems better than the instructor… and the Imperial Sword form looks really good…”
“Eun-chae.”
“…Yes?”
“Prepare yourself for today.”
“….”
*
I told Yoo Eun-chae to prepare herself, but the truth is, I don’t have time today.
“It’s regrettable.”
Because today is the day the principal promised.
The act of breaking Nam Gung-se’s.
The ley lines to be established in exchange for that.
In reality, the training has been somewhat lukewarm until now.
All those I teach are fairly talented and put in the effort.
‘Originally.’
They cannot become strong so quickly.
It’s not that they lack talent.
I have my own excellence, though.
Because effort doesn’t betray.
You might think this is nonsense, but effort rarely betrays.
There must be a clear goal and vision.
‘More precisely, the direction of effort is important.’
Originally, none of them would have had the right direction.
If there is any possibility, it’s Yu Eun-chae or Sun Woo-hyun.
‘And the genes probably helped them grow.’
Yu Eun-chae is a reincarnate.
She might know more about the students than I do.
As for Sun Woo-hyun… I still don’t know.
But he’s endlessly suspicious.
Starting from his actions, to learning martial arts in advance.
And at the point where they insist that magic comes from the Military Band, a strong sense of knowing some part of the future engulfed me.
‘Even if there are many who claim to know the future.’
Determinism.
Such words exist.
What is destined cannot be stopped, and what is meant to begin will commence no matter what numbers are thrown.
‘They say there’s the butterfly effect.’
Whether a reincarnate, a possessed individual, or one who regresses.
The ‘gods’ possess the power to discern them, and regardless of their actions, they will try to entwine them even more.
The choice from the beginning to change the future.
It will probably tighten the noose later.
Thinking such thoughts, I found myself arriving at a place while walking.
A single white rectangular box placed nonchalantly in space.
It seemed to be about 50 meters in width and height.
A building as ignorant and rigid as one could be.
However, considering the purpose of this building, it makes sense.
I entered inside the rectangular box.
“Hello, hello. I’m Senior Professor Han Seojin. You came quickly, didn’t you? Did you come so quickly because you wanted to see me?”
“….”
“No, even if it’s me, looking at me with a face like you’re staring at leftover food hurts a bit…”
Well, then don’t make such a cute expression.
Someone older than me is acting like that?
I am over fifty years old.
And the principal is well past that.
To behave like that instead of acting one’s age.
Giving me a pitiful look, the principal muttered.
“Why, why that look.”
“Let’s go set up the vein quickly.”
“Wh-why the sudden formality? It’s nice, but.”
“Don’t you want to?”
“…Let’s go quickly.”
We went inside.
A square white box came into view inside.
“To set up the vein, there are several conditions needed.”
“The five elements and the four celestial guardians. The eight trigrams and feng shui. There are other things as well.”
“Huh?”
“The most important thing is the World Tree. Or something comparable to it.”
“What in the world don’t you know?”
“Travel around a bit more.”
Saying so, he looked around.
The principal hid the World Tree… or something comparable to it, quite well.
Not feeling nearby.
“Space disconnection. Maybe it connects with space and blocks everything else.”
It’s a surprising sensation.
Even I’m amazed.
If you train your innate abilities to the extreme, it leads to the principal. It’s not an exaggeration.
“It feels like I need to bring the perception of my previous life to grasp it.”
That’s how perfect the principal’s defense was.
In other words, those below won’t even know where the ley lines are connected if they come here.
However.
“There’s one problem.”
Once the ley lines are set up, various issues arise.
Activating the innate characteristic of the ley lines.
The principal may act like an innocent child, but he’s a transcendent being.
“He’s a transcendent being.”
The principal is a transcendent being.
Maintaining the innocence of a child, he becomes a transcendent being?
Even a passing dog wouldn’t believe it.
The principal was both a trustworthy person and the most unbelievable being to me.
“If I face the principal.”
I’ll definitely win.
If I were to use the as-yet unrevealed secret weapon, it would be possible.
The recoil would almost lead to death, or perhaps a period of tranquility, or transitioning to the next life would become the issue.
Gulp, gulp.
Perhaps taking a sip of cola that could be the last, I looked at the principal.
“Well, then I’ll go get the Youngmaek first.”
The principal clasped his hands. A posture of concentration.
At the same time, the surrounding space began to ripple.
Swoosh.
Space is being divided. Everything around me started to blur.
“It’s incredible.”
The space is refracting.
Everything here was like that. Yet, the principal and I remained unaffected by the refraction.
Proof of her incredible control ability.
“It would have an incredible offensive power. It can even cut through space itself, or manipulate coordinates by refraction.”
If I were to do it, the enormous mana consumption would make it faster to just give up.
However, the inherent characteristic dramatically reduces mana consumption.
I felt that when using the Younggeopbingcheon and Younggeopwolgwang.
“Interstice of spacetime. Coordinate designation. Spatial connection.”
Swoosh, swoosh, something emitting a green light appeared for a moment as space was divided.
‘Concrete?’
My eyes, now approaching Cheonan, saw it at a glance.
And as soon as I saw it, I understood.
That it played a role similar to the World Tree, holding onto the spiritual veins here.
‘Interesting.’
Once.
Although I could only see a part of it, my eyes captured most of Cheonan’s performance.
‘Circulation. Grasping mana and turning it into paths.’
There were other things, but none as important as the two above.
That would be enough.
Later, I could research that separately and create something similar.
‘Even if it consumes considerable resources.’
While lost in thought, I felt a tremendous magical power flowing into this building.
《Mana increases by 1.》
《Mana increases by 1.》
The deity of the Taehomu Shrine woke up, greedily absorbing the surrounding mana.
《The celestial body begins to harmonize the body.》
At the same time, the celestial body evenly distributed the mana it had greedily devoured throughout the body.
《Strength increases by 1.》
《Endurance increases by 1.》
“Agility has increased by 1.”
‘Satisfying.’
While thinking that, something like blue water began to gradually rise.
“Phew. Tough.”
“Is it over?”
“Well, yeah. Probably in about 30 minutes, this place will be filled with water. But it’ll probably disappear in less than a day.”
“I’ll take care of that problem, it’s okay…”
“But why do you keep using formal language? Oh, I see, you’re impressed by my strength.”
“…Want to fight again in six months?”
“hahahaha. You think you can make it up here in just six months? Even for you, that’s impossible.”
The principal chuckled as if in a good mood.
“Well, I’m busy so I’ll be off now, whoosh~.”
As the principal said that, the space in front of him split open with a swish.
And the principal threw himself into it.
‘I wonder what to do.’
I looked at the place where the principal disappeared with an incredulous look.
‘Is he just pretending to be gone and watching us?’
A subtle feeling.
If they were his students, they would probably think that the principal really left.
‘Well, showing this much shouldn’t be a problem.’
As it was originally.
I would have used Eternal Force and collapsed from exhaustion.
So, I had a glimpse of the will to fight with the principal.
‘It’s better not to fight if possible.’
Even if it looks like that, he’s a transcendent being.
He could suddenly dissect my body and kidnap me.
In the worst case scenario.
I’ve had somewhat similar experiences, so to speak.
I quietly closed my eyes.
What comes to mind is the green light that showed me.
‘It’s a simple matter.’
The circulation of magic power. And the ability to grasp.
What it gave me was a flash of inspiration like a single bolt of lightning.
Various names came to mind, but one name appealed to me the most.
‘Power in Circulation. Let’s call it that.’
