The Reincarnated Person Became a Professor at the Academy

Chapter 70 – Shall We Call It a Draw? (2)

We were assigned to our accommodation.

Contrary to its appearance, the accommodation was very neat.

‘No, it must have been done by that person who seemed to be the principal earlier.’

Unlike those with muscles in their heads, he must be the only one here who thinks.

In other words, it would be best to think that there are no more than that level of thinkers here.

I unpacked my things casually.

I finished unpacking using spatial and telekinetic magic in less than 10 seconds and went outside.

‘The academy’s area is bigger than I thought.’

An artificial island as big as Jeju Island in Korea.

It’s comparable to our Academy.

If there was a problem, it was that most people here focus on developing their physical abilities. That was why there were so many exercise facilities.

‘But there seems to be a lot of nice things.’

Should I use the budget? Upon reflection, I haven’t been clashing with the principal lately.

This place looked expensive, and while using the budget wasn’t a problem, a considerable amount had already been spent.

So, how about blackmailing the principal to extort some money?

That was truly a rational thought.

It was at this moment that I was entertaining such a thought,

Yoo Seolrang was staring straight at me.

“What are you looking at?”

“The professor.”

“Is that so?”

My face must be quite something.

I’ve always been good-looking, but this time, the Han Seojin I’ve possessed has an even more exceptional face than the Han Seojin of before.

“But it’s really amazing. How do you always recognize me?”

“Of course, I have to recognize you.”

Yoo Seolrang’s presence is faint.

Should I say she’s like the wind? Should I say she’s assimilated with the wind?

‘No, is it those two?’

I was quite interested in Yoo Seolrang from the beginning when I saw her.

An extremely rare attribute is wind. And another ability that synergizes with it.

Yoo Eunchae spoke as if it was a bit subtle, but if it’s the talent I’m thinking of,

Perhaps she might grow into the most dangerous person among those I teach.

No, she will grow.

It was almost a feeling close to certainty.

However, I’m worried about whether Yoo Seolrang can accept it.

‘It’s a method that eats away at the mind more than expected.’

Erasing oneself.

Becoming one with nature.

In that process, losing oneself.

Even now, it’s faint, but soon, even her family won’t notice her.

ㅡAnd that’s also why I rate Yoo Seolrang very highly.

If one loses oneself and becomes the wind itself…

‘Maybe I’m also in danger?’

I thought about it for a moment.

If I think about my strength, I can say that I am the strongest right now.

The density of the time I spent here is similar, though.

Also, organizing the studies from my previous life and applying them to the next life has made the speed of my growth extraordinary.

But these traits turned out to be more amazing than I thought, making me stronger than I expected.

Yoo Seolrang pondered for a moment, then nodded.

“Thank you for the advice.”

“Yes, you too. Keep up the good work.”

“I’ll try to overcome them with the education you taught me, Teacher.”

“Yes, overwhelmingly win for my research fund.”

“…”

Yoo Seolrang, momentarily at a loss for words, soon nodded and headed somewhere.

‘That kid has no presence, and even the actions lack presence.’

I lay down in the field.

After a while, I felt someone approaching me.

“What are you doing here?”

“…”

The girl who spoke to me.

No, should I call her a girl?

At first glance, she is a mix of various things.

There was also a feeling that something was forcibly mixed.

‘It’s a familiar power.’

The power that was forcibly mixed.

Evil Energy.

She was contaminated with it.

However, she cleverly hid it, probably to the extent that one wouldn’t notice without considerable detection ability.

I looked at the girl.

Eyes shining with a golden light.

Hair that seemed completely bleached, white as if burned.

And.

She possessed a certain power.

Demonic Energy.

A power similar to Evil Energy but held by a race called Yokai.

If spiritual beings are divine, they are malevolent.

She possessed that kind of power.

As soon as I realized it, the energy inside me responded.

To kill that thing right away.

To burst its heart, to burst its head.

‘Interesting.’

Is this a form of emotional manipulation, too?

While such trivial things wouldn’t sway me, it was strong enough to influence some.

‘But you’ve fallen far.’

Once at a high position, but lost their power for some reason. It’s a characteristic only seen in such individuals.

They try to hide it, but they can’t fool my eyes.

And I’ve experienced this quite a lot already.

Should I call it a sense?

I’ve developed something like that.

To the extent that I can tell at a glance.

“You are?”

“Please call me Deceive.”

“And your business?”

“Um, wanted to see you once.”

Wanted to see me?

Did they notice something about me?

‘I thought that Seon Woohyeon had drawn all the aggro.’

Or perhaps the Insect Dragon King.

It might have been his doing directly.

“Then just look and go.”

“Don’t you think I’m spying?”

“Spying around, what can those eyes possibly see.”

“…”

The girl called Deceive looked at me with eyes as if she had been struck.

“You’re unique. Just as I’ve heard.”

Who could she have heard it from?

But it was impossible to know whether the Insect Dragon King had intervened. Or if it was another demon king.

‘It doesn’t matter. Just crushing them would do.’

Still, seeing them move so openly like this,

They must be quite confident.

“You’re also unique. Emitting such a peculiar magical power and coming here.”

“It’s okay. This is a clone I created.”

“Is that so? It’s still immature. To move so openly in front of me.”

“…What?”

“You’re not my student, but I’ll teach you specially. First, a mage shouldn’t come so unprotected.”

“I thought I was being careful enough?”

“Second, you’re already in the palm of my hand. Whether it’s your main body or an avatar.”

“What on earth have you been talking about since earlier…”

Creak.

The body of the girl who introduced herself as Deceive instantly froze.

She was being scrutinized with my Heavenly Eyes.

The faintly perceivable thread of magical power.

Though she hid and diverted it with her abilities, ultimately, the thread of magical power left a faint trace to detect the remote control.

In other words, she shouldn’t have stood before me.

“…Grrr.”

The avatar foamed at the mouth.

The location is roughly 80km away.

‘So, she’s somewhat thorough.’

Even I can’t cover 80km in an instant.

Now that she’s been discovered, she’ll try to shake me off somehow.

‘It doesn’t matter.’

As I said before, appearing before me was a mistake.

‘Frozen Life Thread.’

The thread clung to her life.

It won’t kill her, but she will suffer quite a bit.

I’ll torment you until the moment you die.

As I was about to shatter the ice and kill the girl named Deceive, Yoo Eunchae walked towards me.

“The top student of the master, Yoo Eunchae, is… huh?”

Yoo Eunchae hesitated.

Looking at the girl with frozen white hair.

“Did you already defeat her?”

“This one?”

“Yes?”

“Is that guy the one who will cause an incident in America?”

“…Yes.”

Yoo Eunchae’s reaction was peculiar.

“In what way?”

“ White-Faced Golden Fur. An awakener with the Unique Trait Past Life.“

“Really?”

Such a Unique Trait existed.

Past life.

I remember the first time I encountered it after entering this academy.

Han Seojin’s cousin.

That guy was the one who recalled his past life.

‘Honestly, he didn’t seem that strong.’

But there’s also that thought.

The one from the past life wouldn’t have been that strong.

Reincarnation is both a flaw and a merit.

What mattered was how far the one called reincarnated had gone.

“It’s pretty obvious.”

“Awakening of past lives. She turns this area into a wasteland by forcibly manifesting her true body into reality.”

“Is that even possible?”

“Yes, but the downside is that she can’t exert much power afterward…”

“If you’re prepared to die anyway, it’s not a downside.”

“Right. But the time she can run amok is shorter than you think. If we’re prepared, the people here can stop it.”

“Are you sure?”

“…I’m not sure.”

Yoo Eunchae spoke with a rare lack of confidence.

“Until now, I’ve been overflowing with confidence, but things hardly ever go as I think.”

“The opponent isn’t a fool either. If all the plans they’ve set up are destroyed, they’ll definitely make a move.”

And it would manifest as the so-called butterfly effect.

I briefly closed my eyes.

The bastard said it summons the power of a previous life through a rampage.

‘If that’s the case, the maximum is…’

A transcendent being.

I might have to use ‘that’ if necessary.

“What is White-Faced Golden Fur, then?”

“It’s a famous Japanese folklore. But, that person feels like they’re not just that, but also somewhat sweet.”

A case of mythologies mixed.

“That’s why she’s also considered a candidate for the Demon King. If she truly awakens all her power.”

“If she awakens?”

“…Even the transcended and ascended principal couldn’t guarantee a victory against her.”

“What if we kill the original body now?”

“…If we kill it, we can definitely stop it.”

However.

Yoo Eunchae hesitated to speak.

Her lips moved slightly, then stopped. She repeated this several times.

‘I don’t want to kill.’

I could feel such a sentiment from her.

I glanced at Yoo Eunchae and said,

“Don’t sympathize.”

“What?”

“Evil should not be sympathized with.”

Her upbringing and all that might have been unfortunate.

Sympathy is possible, but.

She made a choice.

To trample on others and climb upwards.

That’s not a bad thing.

It’s a natural human instinct.

However, trampling on the lives of others to climb up cannot be forgiven.

Sacrificing others at will, living only for oneself, that is.

So, that cannot be sympathized with.

“…”

“…”

A brief silence fell.

Yoo Eunchae seemed to be deep in thought, with a troubled expression.

“So, why did you come here to talk?”

“Ah, it’s nothing special. Just that it seems we can easily win.”

“Win?”

I looked at Yoo Eunchae with a puzzled expression.

The students I taught and those from the Holy Empire Academy significantly differ.

However, as Yoo Eunchae said, winning shouldn’t be easy.

“I have an amazing strategy.”

“Strategy?”

“The strategy is simple. Training is so exhausting and tiring that the students from the Korean Academy won’t be able to beat us! That’s it.”

I wore a dumbfounded expression.

How can someone be so foolish?

“What’s with that look?”

“This is the Holy Empire.”

“Right, this is the Holy Empire… Ah.”

As if those who use divine power would get tired.

You blockhead.

“What should we do?”

“Don’t you know? My training method is harsh but it’s the most effective?”

“…”

“So, those who use divine power took my training method as it is? It’s just like giving the Mongols the ability to make siege weapons?”

“…”

Yoo Eunchae’s expression froze with a smile as she sweated profusely.

“Se, seriously, they won’t catch up that quickly, right?”

“They won’t catch up right away.”

“Th, that’s right?”

“But it will be very hard from now on, right?”

“…”

“And if we lose, it will tarnish my reputation, so I’ll make you work even harder than those guys. I’ll make sure to tell the kids, too.”

“…”

“And looking at them, they are skilled at unconventional methods… probably using something like a miracle, right?

“…Yes.”

“Then, it’ll all work out if the body is strong.”

I looked at Yoo Eunchae.

“Well, hang in there.”

“…”

Yoo Eunchae couldn’t say anything.

It was called an Exchange Battle, but the great prospect talent competition had begun.

A competition composed of individual and team matches.

Though it lasted for four weeks, there weren’t many visitors.

From what I heard, the competition was held last week because the Holy Empire caused such a big incident.

However, this time, the principal managed to settle things somehow.

The principal of the Holy Empire Academy seemed to want to take this opportunity to let everyone know they had changed.

「Since we’re doing it, let’s do it big.」

Therefore, the individual matches were scheduled for two weeks, and the team matches for the remaining two weeks.

The first week was for preliminary rounds, evaluating individual skills.

The second week was planned to go all the way to the finals.

It was said that the team matches would be conducted similarly.

‘The problem is.’

It would be in the form of professors leading the students.

“This, we’ve definitely won.”

“If it’s our professor, we’ll win even if all the opponents come at us.”

Ignoring the kids’ words, I watched the events of the first day of the competition.

The competition was interesting from the first match.

Seon Woohyeon and the top contender from the Holy Empire were fighting.

Both fought hard.

And then.

“Jeira wins!”

The top contender from the Holy Empire, who had received special training from Yoo Eunchae, won by a narrow margin.

“I’m truly grateful. I want to give all the glory to Master Yoo Eunchae, who helped with the training!

“…This is really fucked.”

Yoo Eunchae sweated profusely and cursed harshly at the winner’s remarks.

‘It’s not that serious, though.’

Maybe because I didn’t intervene directly.

Yoo Eunchae didn’t teach them properly.

After all, the method I tailored for a student ‘who had learned mana’ differed from what these guys needed.

I watched Seon Woohyeon.

‘Did those Celestial Gods say it?’

A regressor, but lost to just a student?

No matter what, isn’t that too much?

I looked at Seon Woohyeon.

A regressor.

Did he really return?

‘Maybe.’

Those arrogant beings called Celestial Gods perhaps erased part of his memory.

Or made him ‘mistakenly’ believe so.

Whatever it is.

‘I don’t like those guys.’

They are quite malicious.

Yoo Eunchae desperately racked her brain.

Her reputation was different from others.

A Problem Child.

Despite causing many problems, her ability to resolve them had already reached a realm.

It was to the extent that rumors circulated about a hero of high status weeping and clapping after witnessing her causing and resolving issues.

The fact that she is still attached to the academy despite causing countless problems so far is proof of that.

‘Being alive is the proof that I am strong—.’

Up until now, the fact that she was still alive was proof of that.

Therefore, Yoo Eunchae found a way to solve the problem she had caused.

‘It’s simple.’

All she had to do was escalate the problem.

In conclusion, she had to show that it wasn’t her training them that was the problem.

‘Overwhelmingly defeat them.’

Yoo Eunchae held back her tears.

Although it was something she eventually had to give them,

Opening her reserve now made her want to cough out blood.

But she was the one who caused the incident.

Since she caused it, she had to solve it.

Holding back tears, Yoo Eunchae began to take out elixirs and treasures.
