The Reincarnated Person Became a Professor at the Academy

Chapter 124 – You Should Get What You’re Owed (3)

“Just how much did you take?”

“What do you mean?”

“Do you know how much money the principal allocated to you?”

“I have no idea.”

I was just excited to get money and came running.

“…I am really grateful to you, Professor.”

“You should be.”

The grace of a teacher was as vast as the sea.

Especially since I took some care of Abel.

“This time you saved the Vampire Princess and rescued me from a near-death crisis.”

“That’s true.”

Saving the Vampire Princess was part of the plan, but nearly dying was not.

‘But the result was good.’

So it didn’t matter.

“So, I have a debt of gratitude. I’m willing to repay it, even if it costs me my life.”

“Alright, alright. So, how much is it?”

“It was originally 10 trillion won.”

“…Oh.”

I murmured in admiration.

She was giving away that much money?

‘10 trillion won.’

It’s an astronomical amount.

I had never used this much money before.

‘Is it because the population is large and capitalism is thriving?’

Still, it was a truly terrifying amount.

10 trillion won, 10 trillion won.

‘It seems like an amount that could buy elixirs without any issue.’

As soon as I heard the amount, I started to worry.

Whether to buy the elixirs or not.

‘It’s ridiculous to refuse elixirs at this point.’

I gathered and consumed elixirs to confront the Insect Dragon King.

It would be foolish to suddenly do something else, but now…

‘There are the Heavenly Demon and the Duke of Extermination.’

Those two were dangerous.

Their obsession was already severe.

If I tried to go anywhere, the Heavenly Demon would try to restrain me, and the Duke of Extermination, while pretending to release me, always had entities circling near me.

They said it was because I might seduce a woman.

‘I have no intention of seducing anyone.’

I had no hobby of flirting with multiple women.

Rather, I was close to being a pure-hearted lover.

It was more convenient to like just one person.

‘Loving everyone equally seems absurd.’

I was skeptical about harems.

However, somehow, the power of the girls who liked me became higher than the girl I liked.

‘Even the Duke of Extermination and the Heavenly Demon told me to take concubines.’

Why did it turn out that way?

I just wanted to treat people humanely and remain friends.

Anyway, those two found out about my existence.

Now, they will really try to find me at all costs.

‘So I need at least a minimum level of power.’

Let’s buy the elixirs.

With that resolve, I looked at Abel.

“When can you give me 10 trillion?”

“By the way, with my discretion, I can add around 5 trillion more.”

“What…!”

I was genuinely surprised.

Abel, who seems competent but is actually incompetent at critical moments, could appear so capable.

I was thinking at most a few hundred billion or a few trillion.

‘Raising the amount by almost 50%? His discretion is remarkable.’

I raised my evaluation of Abel inwardly.

“It feels like you just had some unpleasant thoughts about me.”

“Don’t worry, it’s nothing like that.”

“So, where will you spend this money?”

“Investing in myself, mostly. The rest will be used for the kids, sort of?”

“If you increase it more from here…”

“…then I’ll become stronger.”

“Usually, people lie and say they will invest more in the students in such cases, don’t they?”

“Being honest is my strength.”

“Well, that’s fine. Your results speak for themselves, Professor. As long as you produce results, the academy can pull in an enormous amount of money.”

“Really?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Then how much money can I pull in?”

“Do you even have any shame?”

“It’s not my money anyway.”

“Well, that’s true, but…”

“And the Principal is a transcendent, right?”

“Our principal is indeed a great transcendent.”

“So, there’s a lot of money.”

“…There are only two transcendents who can interact with reality, after all.”

Neo Seunghwa hid her presence, but those who knew, knew.

On the other hand, Kwon Sora was a transcendent who openly appeared in reality, known to everyone.

While staying in the present world, she single-handedly performed tasks commissioned by nations, amassing all kinds of money as a result.

The accumulated money amounted to tens of trillions of won.

‘Am I going to spend the money Kwon Sora has been saving for decades?’

If I squandered all of this, I could become a dangerous guy.

But I was a dangerous guy.

“For now, can you make me a card?”

“A card?”

“…Yes. And just in case, consider the possibility of losing it.”

“Well, of course. Do you think ten trillion is a joke? Even a decent-sized company can’t carry that amount in cash. Without a card, you can’t even carry ten trillion around. And every time you use it, although it may be a bit cumbersome, your signature will be verified each time. But why?”

“…There’s a reason for that.”

It’s like a form of PTSD.

I blew through an empire’s budget and then gloriously burned out.

Even for me, reaching that point triggerred a sense of crisis.

‘The Emperor… might punch me in the face the moment we meet.’

I seriously considered it.

It seemed like something the Emperor could do.

「You’re aware that blowing this money would set the empire back by more than ten years, right?」

「Of course. But if this experiment succeeds…」

「The empire will enjoy glory for a thousand years. Fine, you’re trustworthy.」

And half a year later, it was announced that I had died.

‘…I guess I should at least take a punch.’

With that thought, I took the card.

This world was quite an unknown realm to me.

I knew a fair bit about the system and the trait window, but information was somewhat lacking.

Abel filled that gap.

And another person.

Yoo Eunchae.

“So, you came looking for me?”

“That’s right.”

“What, do you think I’m Doraemon or something?”

“So, you don’t know?”

“Of course, I know. But more importantly, how much support did you get from Kwon Sora? How much can you spend?”

“Beyond your imagination.”

“…No way, is that rumor really true?!”

“What rumor?”

I frowned.

‘What weird rumor has she heard?’

I had a bad feeling about this.

“The rumor that the Professor is Kwon Sora’s secret lover…”

“No.”

“Well, just denying it doesn’t mean it’s false…”

“Do you want to get hit?”

“…Always with the violence!!”

After giving her a light knock on the head, she clutched her forehead and squatted down.

“More than that, recommend a good place. You guys will benefit too.”

“Benefit?”

“I’ve saved up quite a lot.”

“How much exactly?”

“Transcendents seem to gather a lot of money.”

“How much have you stashed away?!”

“More than enough that you don’t need to know.”

It’s not that I don’t trust Yoo Eunchae.

However, there was no need to let them know about the benefits that would fall to them.

‘Even if she doesn’t look it, she’s quite shrewd.’

I couldn’t imagine how much she’d siphon from my money.

Of course, some crumbs would fall.

A staggering 10 trillion won.

The crumbs that fell from that were truly immense.

However, students should be somewhat equal.

‘I’m starting to see some dangerous ones.’

In the battle against the Insect Dragon King, students died.

The academy was currently in a period of self-reflection.

A large funeral would be held soon.

“Then the best option would be the market, right?”

“Market?”

“A market where the system is partially applied. It’s also the effect of a Unique Trait.”

“Oh?”

“Since the system is involved, no one can know who listed the items or who purchased them. Unless they reveal it themselves.”

“The fact that you know about it suggests you’ve also benefited quite a bit.”

“Hehe.”

Yoo Eunchae laughed with a giggle.

“Well, I hate to brag, but I’m known as the Midas of the underworld.”

“Is that so?”

“What’s with that lukewarm reaction?”

“Hurry up and tell me how to use this market thing.”

“Well, you see…”

“Kraaaagh!!”

Choi Younghoon.

He was an alchemist and the president of a small company.

Although he had the skills to join a mid-sized company, he chose to be the head of a snake rather than the tail of a dragon.

Thus, he rose to the position of president of a small company.

Currently, he was in deep distress.

The reason was simple.

The elixir that the company risked everything to obtain.

The place that was going to buy it went bankrupt.

The value of an elixir varied depending on the user.

In the case of Han Seojin, who only absorbed pure magic power, he could only absorb the highest-grade elixirs.

Mages or martial artists with a thunder attribute had to obtain something related to lightning.

Therefore, if an elixir met the right owner, its value can increase more than tenfold.

The reason Choi Younghoon was having a headache was simple.

The Iron-Blood Sword Clan, which controlled Seoul in South Korea.

There was an elixir secretly requested from there.

They were willing to pay more than 20 times the price to get it quickly.

The company staked its life to obtain that elixir, but what was this?

The Iron-Blood Sword Clan collapsed overnight.

‘No, what kind of nonsense is this?’

At first, he denied it.

But soon, he heard news.

A transcendent had intervened.

‘What kind of lightning strike is this!! Our company staked its life!!’

Next came anger.

‘Can’t they at least buy it for 10 times the price, if not 20 times?’

The company was on the brink of bankruptcy.

Naturally, Choi Younghoon compromised.

“What should I do… If the company goes under, what about our employees?”

Next, he fell into depression.

‘Should I just go to the Han River?’

He reached the stage of acceptance.

It was truly despairing.

Blinded by the prospect of twenty times the price, he had pulled in all sorts of funds, which backfired.

Should he have listened to his secretary, who tried to dissuade him back then?

Choi Younghoon shed tears as he looked at the market.

A market created by someone’s Unique Traits.

It was linked to a system that all awakened individuals around the world could use.

‘Please, I’m not asking for 20 times, but at least pay 5 times the price.’

But it didn’t sell.

It was obvious. Usually, elixirs had a standard price.

The elixir must find the right owner to fetch an enormous sum.

In other words, if it didn’t find an owner, it would be worthless.

Moreover, those who harnessed the power of faith, the most influential force in this world, did not need elixirs.

They drew their power from using divine artifacts and external mystical items.

‘Please… I’ll list it at the regular price… please buy it…’

Just as he was about to give up on the fivefold price and relist it.

[The Iron Elixir has been sold for 1,000,000,000 won.]
“…Huh?”

What?

Could it be that the elixir just sold?

Someone actually bought this?

“Oh, God!!”

He expressed his gratitude with a bow to the unknown buyer.

And at the same time.

Someone mysterious swept up the elixir.
