The Reincarnated Person Became a Professor at the Academy

The Reincarnated Person Became A Professor At The Academy 14

14 – Not Fun.

Academy.

It’s not just a school to call it that; it’s unusual.

In the first iteration, it was just a school.

In the second iteration, it was quite magnificent with the inclusion of the emperor.

In the third iteration, the Cheonmu Hall was comparable to a considerable urban area in modern Korea.

I used to think, “What’s so special about an academy being all fancy like that?”

Anyway, that was how it was.

But now, looking at them in retrospect, they were nothing.

“While Yeongmaek is impressive, where is the artificial island for training on top of that?”

Perhaps it was due to such insane actions.

The academy didn’t seem sane either.

They built a school in the shape of the letter ‘ㄷ,’ and its size was enormous.

The width is roughly over 1km and the height is aiming for over 100m.

We were driving past that place.

“Is the car speed fast? Is it a new model?”

“hahahaha, you noticed. It may be a wreck, but the performance is fine. It’s a new model released in Versa. With a mana engine, the instant output exceeds 2,000 mana, and it takes only 0.2 seconds to reach zero to a hundred….”

“….Can you actually drive properly inside the academy?”

“I can’t, that’s why I’m taking you as a guest.”

“I have something to ask.”

“Ask me anything.”

Abel chuckled at my words.

An unpleasant, sly guy.

“Why did the principal call us?”

“He said he wanted to have a conversation. The principal is very interested in peculiar people.”

“Peculiar people?”

“Yes, sorry, but it seems the technique you showed me last time piqued his interest.”

“Oh, Cryokinesis?”

“Did you just blurt out Cryokinesis? It’s too blatant.”

“So what?”

As I said with a smirk, Abel’s expression stiffened a bit.

Rather than a cheerful smile, that looks better, doesn’t it?

“You’re not going to talk just about that, are you?”

“Yes, I think I have something to say to Han Seojin separately.”

“An offer? Annoying.”

“…It might be because it could cause a stir in the magic world. Perhaps it could create a commotion in the martial arts world as well.”

“That much?”

“Yes.”

Abel’s firm response left me momentarily lost in thought.

Just dissecting and using the abilities called “Blood Arts.”

“Is it really that remarkable?”

Ridiculous.

Are there only idiots in this world?

“…It seems like everything shows on your face these days.”

“Strong ones don’t hide their expressions.”

I shrugged at my disciple’s words.

Crunch-.

Before I knew it, we had arrived inside the school.

We got out of the car and stepped outside.

“The school’s hunter, Abel Yoo, the Blood Flame Disciple, why are you here?”

“Every time we go somewhere, it seems like Yoo Eunchae, who always causes trouble, has surely caused some kind of incident. It’s embarrassing.”

“Disciple, you really have a lot of enemies.”

“I live like this, Master.”

Sobbing, Yoo Eun-chae pretended to cry, and Abel gave her a puzzled look.

“Living in this place is only for us innocent students, right? Well, not all students are kind, of course.”

“And the attack on the professor was real.”

“Even so, it was an incident that undermined the professor’s authority. Gathering students and boldly storming into the professor’s lab to attack him.”

“If we hadn’t, wouldn’t it have been too late?”

“That’s why the headmaster gave us separate punishments. Even though cleaning the bathroom for a week was a bit harsh.”

“Don’t you know how dirty the women’s bathroom is? I’d rather clean the men’s bathroom.”

“…That’s enough.”

Abel pretended to touch his head as if he had a headache.

“Please be careful in front of him. Our headmaster is practically a transcendent figure active in society, you could say.”

“Everyone is on guard around him…”

Before Yoo Eun-chae could say anything, the door creaked open on its own.

“Hey hey! Nice to meet you all!”

And there stood a bright-smiling girl.

*

She was a pure white girl.

Her body, with hair split into two white strands, was somewhere between middle school and high school.

Dressed in pure white, she gazed at us.

For a moment, my body tensed involuntarily.

I must have had an experience like this before.

‘Demon King.’

He was the first to come to mind.

But upon closer inspection, it wasn’t quite so.

A bit lower than that.

Celestial horse and annihilation mage.

‘No.’

A bit further down from those two would be appropriate.

The three mischievous beings who ended my life in my third incarnation.

Entities comparable to them.

Beings corresponding to the state of transcendence in the world of martial arts.

Also, entities marked with eight magic circles.

Judging by the common sense of this world, they were also transcendent beings.

The figure rose abruptly from the chair, floating gently in the air.

Right in front of me.

“hehehehe.”

“Headmaster?”

“Interesting, very interesting.”

A curious smile spread across his face.

Violet-tinged azure eyes turned towards me.

“When I heard Abel’s words, it was just a matter of curiosity.”

It feels unpleasant.

Someone is thoroughly examining me.

“Can I hide it?”

I ask myself, but honestly, I’m not confident that I can hide information from this woman.

This is the world of abilities.

If it were the gaze of a transcendent, I could somehow hide the most important things.

But this world has a variable called unique characteristics.

Perhaps she has already taken away my information.

“But I still have to hide.”

I suppress my hesitation.

And I erase the fact that I am a reincarnator from my mind.

The girl’s eyes widened.

“You react really quickly.”

“I’ve learned a lot of things.”

“I don’t think you were like this when I first saw you.”

“Then, did you see me wrong? I’m not an easy man to figure out at a glance.”

I assess the other person while spouting nonsense.

This is no different from a fight.

“Mmm, you’ve hidden well all this time, Abel.”

“…Yes, Headmaster.”

“Clear all the absence records.”

“…Understood.”

Abel nodded.

I smirked.

“I don’t really want to keep coming here, you know?”

“Hmm. That can happen. Is there something uncomfortable about the academy?”

“Not really.”

I haven’t been here in the first place.

Even if I search through Han Seojin’s memories, there’s nothing I remember.

“Come to think of it, there was a guy who bothered me.”

Han Cheoljin.

He probably turned into a corpse by now since he didn’t provide any information.

No guilt.

He was a cheap guy even if he suffered that kind of thing in the first place.

According to Han Seojin’s memory, there are at least five students he messed up.

“Um, that’s a bit tricky.”

“Why?”

“You’re likely to rise to a high position. So, we wanted to send you to the boundary where the transcendent beings are blocking.”

“Boundary?”

I glanced at Yoo Eunchae.

As I observed, Yoo Eun-chae was wearing a peculiar expression.

‘I should ask about this later.’

“If I do something for you, will you attend the academy?”

“Well.”

I don’t know.

I am someone who believes that the only thing lacking for me is time.

An elixir that can significantly reduce that time would be good, too.

“Do I really need to attend a place like this?”

This is my thought.

The existence of the headmaster is undoubtedly powerful.

But to put it differently, it’s only strong to this extent.

The five thugs who barely managed to kill me by joining forces.

To put it differently, if they had confronted me individually, I would have killed them all and left effortlessly.

Learn from someone like me?

‘I might teach if it’s something worth teaching.’

“You seem uninterested. No, to be precise, you seem to be avoiding learning something.”

The girl spoke with a bright smile.

She possesses the ability to read minds or perceive the emotions of others.

Whether my thoughts are correct, her smile deepened.

“Sorry, sorry. This is something I can’t control.”

“Transcendent?”

“Even though I’m a transcendent being, I’m a bit of a special case. I was forcibly promoted.”

“Forcibly?”

“Anyway, that’s not important.”

The principal took something out of his pocket.

“It’s a gesture of goodwill. Will you accept it?”

Clank.

Inside the box was a single elixir.

A bead that emitted a black light.

The energy inside was very weak.

“The purest energy.”

Myriad impurities were filtered out to create this elixir.

An elixir of this caliber is extremely expensive.

Even though they are the same elixir, each one has different properties.

That’s why most people either make elixirs that suit them or exchange them with others.

But an elixir that holds pure mana goes well with any body.

“This should do.”

It’s similar in level to the mana filtered and refined through the Taeheomu Divine Gate.

It should allow me to better synchronize my body.

I might be able to find the position of the Unranked sooner than I thought.

Glancing at Yoo Eunchae, I could see a profoundly surprised expression on her face.

“You must, you absolutely must.”

Considering the way she said that, it seemed appropriate to comply unless there was a compelling reason not to.

“Of course, I’m aware that this may be a bit insufficient.”

The girl chuckled, looking at me.

“I’d like to offer something a bit more remarkable than this, but it seems you’re not interested in that.”

The elixir is tempting.

However, other things don’t appeal to me.

“Because I’ve received too much.”

The burden of the heart.

There’s no such thing. If I can tear it apart, ripping it apart is my creed.

Even when I devised a plan to divert 30% of the empire’s budget to the mausoleums, making them the enemies of all mausoleums, I was the one contemplating how to extract more from the emperor.

But I declined.

I smiled at the headmistress.

“May I ask for the reason?”

“Because it’s not fun.”

“…Fun?”

Yes.

Fun.

The driving force of my past life.

My life has always been driven by something.

It’s okay to become strong to some extent.

But becoming too strong due to someone else’s kindness is not my cup of tea.

The principal, who had a blank expression for a moment after my response,

“Pfft! hahahahaha!”

He laughed heartily, holding his belly.

He really laughed his heart out.

“I thought it was a burden on my mind, or I didn’t know what favor to ask, but it was a foolish thought!”

Tears glistened in the corners of his eyes.

“It’s fun, it’s fun! Yes, I made a big mistake. I almost made a mistake. You are different from the other kids.”

Deep.

His eyes, as if about to fall into a deep abyss, turned towards me with a deep blue color.

“I’ll remember you.”

The girl said that.

*

Thud.

The door closed. After seeing Yoo Eun-chae and Han Seo-jin off, Abel looked at the smiling girl.

“It was fun. Yes, it was an enlightening conversation.”

“Fun and… enlightening?”

Abel was genuinely astonished by the girl’s words.

The girl is a god wearing a girl’s mask. She disguises herself as purity and assesses the worth of the students.

“That one is worth 1 billion. Oh, what’s going on? Did I misjudge the value? That one is worth 50 million. Expel them before the first semester.”

A being who casually makes such remarks.

“What did it feel like?”

“Well, I don’t know.”

“…You don’t know?”

“Yeah! As soon as I saw her, it felt like she was hiding things she had.”

Of course, it’s not something that can be considered definite.

She is a being who has ascended to the rank of transcendent due to her unique characteristics.

The abyssal eyes born from her unique characteristics scrutinize everything about the other person.

But I don’t understand.

I can grasp it, but it’s not clear.

“Still, there’s one thing I think I know─”

“What is it?”

“If you put that among the kids, they’ll fall into self-doubt and their worth will diminish, right?”

“…What?”

Abel momentarily wore a vacant expression.

What kind of creatures are the current first-years?

They are monsters who have already surpassed the golden generation of third-years.

Even if they were valedictorians, it wouldn’t be surprising for them to fall short, and among them, a man named Sunwoo Hyun is already rumored to have defeated a mid-tier mine.

“Though I’m now an adult─”

“Do I look younger?”

The girl smirked in response.

“Abel, I’ve mentioned before, it’s better to refrain from judging based on appearances.”

“…But the contents inside are different, right?”

“Yes, indeed. That being, who had realized their past life from their innate traits, and had undergone decades, even centuries of training in a different realm, is no longer the same Hansen Jin.”

The girl giggled cheerfully.

However, her eyes were remarkably cold.

“I can’t fathom such existence. I’ve never seen anything resembling it at the border.”

“Should we classify it as a level 1 threat?”

“No, the energy didn’t feel malevolent. On the contrary, it exuded a clear aura.”

After a few exchanges, I felt a profound aura within.

Moreover, I sensed an intense madness within.

Such individuals are usually fine.

Those who fall into madness in the world of magic are driven solely by madness, but with an aura like mine, I won’t be swayed by magic.

“Rather than that…”

There was something that bothered me a little more.

It stared at me with those blue eyes.

So, I showed a hint of aggression.

However, there was only one emotion reflected in those eyes.

“What’s this, is this all there is?” were the disappointed eyes.

‘What kind of child are you, really.’

I felt a bit of vitality in my boring life.
