A Reincarnated Professor at the Constellation Academy

final exam (1)

Time passed, and Helios’ final exams began.

Helios’ final term has an overwhelming proportion of practical skills.

This is because as much as Helios aims for a ‘military academy’, it places more weight on practice than theory, and on this day, even the ‘Winter Forest’ is open and used as a stage for final exams.

While the entire dimensional intersection was busy with the exam, the Great Mathematics also fired a signal flare to announce the start of the exam.

Dark and dull color simrim.

In a place where darkness prevailed even in broad daylight, 60 major students huddled together waiting for the exam.

“What’s the difficulty going to be? I hope it’s not too high.”

“You know our professor’s personality.

“Please A…please A…”

buzz buzz.

While voices came and went from all directions, Kang Yoo-jin appeared.

“From now on, I will announce the contents of the final exam.”

He snapped his fingers, and a map of the border area was sent to each student’s wristwatch.

The map, which draws a circle with a radius of 3 km, was surrounded by a red border, and, of course, there was an explanation written that if you go outside, you will be considered ‘out of the market’ and you will be eliminated.

“The content of the test is simple. In that range, the sympathetic nervous system of the ‘real’ demon beast is spread out. You have to dig into it and find the ‘mark’ that becomes the target.”

As he spreads his hand, seven marks float above the gloved hand.

The rainbow-colored lights were the main task for the students to find this time.

“When you find the first mark, the location of the next second is provided as a hint. And if you collect 6 of them, you can find out the location of the 7th mark corresponding to the ‘boss’.”

That is, you cannot collect them by changing the order.

The expedient of uniting and sharing the location of each color cannot be used.

It was a pretty wise strategy to measure achievement and block cheating at the same time.

“When you reach the 7th, you can meet the ‘command object’ that corresponds to the boss. You should consider capturing the command object as your ultimate goal.”

Because the purpose of the sympathetic nervous system is to assassinate the enemy commander.

Yujin Kang strongly emphasized that part.

Then, someone raised their hand.

“Then can we form a team?”

“Does not matter.”

Since it was not a test with answers in the first place, Kang Yoo-jin did not place any particular restrictions on forming a team.

It was like a subject whose ultimate goal was to kill the Witchbeast in any way.

“However, you shouldn’t be absorbed only in the search. In this forest, there are beings called ‘Wanderers’, and those who find them will attack them indiscriminately. Be mindful of this and take the test.”

It was a gimmick considering the actual battlefield.

Of course, if you get caught, you can’t avoid the lowest point.

Tension was on the faces of the students.

“The time limit is 24 hours. Then, start.”

As he finished speaking, a clock floated in the air and the 24 hours began to decrease.

The students who looked at each other soon scattered in all directions.

*

The final exams started, and Cynthia and Encia formed a team without anyone saying anything.

“I didn’t know that I could form a team even in the final exam…”

“Yes, yes. I think my professor is more flexible than I thought.”

Kang Yu-jin’s test did not forbid him from forming a team.

Although scoring is done individually, there is no penalty for scoring as long as one person in the team does enough.

In other words, if you create a ‘great team’ in which the capabilities of each team member are equally synergistic, the difficulty of the test will be lowered and you will be able to keep your score intact.

Kang Yoo-jin didn’t say it, but ‘the ability to form a team’ is also included in the scoring in its own way.

“Anyway, just because it’s the beast’s sympathetic nervous system, would it make a big difference?”

“Well···?”

The two of them were struggling to access the sympathetic nervous system that was supposed to be here.

It’s not artificial, it’s the sympathetic nervous system of the Demon Beast.

I haven’t been able to figure out the difference yet, but there was no big difference from the previous performance evaluation by accessing itself.

“Um… I don’t think there’s a big difference.”

“That’s right~ The resolution seems to be clearer than last time?”

The two put their heads together and examined the synapses of the sympathetic nervous system.

There is no need to rush.

There are as many signs prepared as there are students, and there can be no expedients of hiding or destroying someone to drop them.

The two focused on the structure of the nervous system, paying attention only to the presence of the ‘wanderer’.

“···found.”

After 10 minutes of concentration, the location of synapses began to be detected.

Is it because you’ve done it once in a performance evaluation? It wasn’t too difficult.

Even Encia found the sign, and the two hurriedly moved to the synapse.

“Huh? Where did you go?”

However, when I arrived at the place I sensed, the mark was nowhere to be found.

No matter how much I look around, I don’t see any signs.

Let’s reconnect to the nervous system again in the role of a ghost crying, what is this?

The mark they were aiming for had already moved over 100 meters.

“Eh!? What is it? Why are they moving?”

“I think he ran away…?”

Were you out of luck?

The two traced the synapse once again, but this time the result was the same.

The mark was that he had run away and disappeared before the two came.

“Oops! Why are you doing this! This time, I even killed a sign!”

Neither sound nor magic power.

I killed as much as possible and approached anything that could be a sign.

But Pyo-sik, like a ghost, notices them and runs away.

‘Aren’t you feeling the general presence?’

Cynthia was troubled.

Marks may not be responsive to normal presence.

If that was a problem, it’s normal that it should have been caught a point ago.

That means something else is the problem.

But were there any other elements that made you feel the presence?

‘All we did was access the sympathetic nervous system… ah.’

In an instant, Cynthia raised her head with a flash of thought.

“I think it’s because of the sympathetic nervous system.”

“yes?”

“The nervous system…is a two-way communication.”

“Why is that… ah?”

“If we can observe the markers through the nervous system…”

“Can the mark also feel our observations?”

The two spoke at the same time and understood at the same time.

I thought I could understand why Yujin Kang dared to say ‘the sympathetic nervous system of the beast’.

Unlike the artificial nervous system of performance evaluation, ‘real’ is a huge communication network organically connected.

Everyone connected there shares the information of the nervous system, and when a disaster occurs, an active response is made.

In other words, it is not only necessary to connect and observe, but also to predict the movements of other objects connected there.

The Sympathetic Nervous System of the Witchbeast was a stage that required high-level techniques to ‘infiltrate’ and ‘track’ a social network.

“Ummm…”

I can’t remember how

Cynthia has great talent when it comes to math and logic, but it’s been difficult for her to come up with anything creative.

In the midst of such a headache, Ensia, who was tilting her head, clapped her fist and said.

“Can’t we use ‘Magi’?”

“Margie? Ah.”

Cynthia exclaimed.

The idea Encia said was to use Cynthia’s internal magic.

Magi is the basis of the power that forms the Demon Beast.

If you infiltrate the nervous system using magic instead of magic, the enemy will recognize Cynthia as an ally.

Of course you won’t run away.

“But… I can’t use magic.”

It’s a good method, but to Cynthia, Magi is poison.

If she continued to use demonic energy to release the demonic power, she could lose her self and turn into a demonic beast.

I was about to refuse, but Ensia grinned and punched her chest.

“Only trust me! I’m an angel!”

“Yes?”

“I’ll protect you from being encroached on by demons!”

Cynthia’s eyes widened.

Is such a method… possible?

Come to think of it, there was nothing wrong with it.

This is because holy power and magic repel each other, so each has the property of suppressing the other’s power.

If only the demons acting on Cynthia’s body were selected and suppressed, the demons would not be able to encroach on her body.

“Let’s do it.”

Cynthia made a decision.

Kang Yoo-jin never leaves a dangerous possibility unattended.

Since he knew Cynthia’s problems, he must have predicted the current situation as well.

Even so, letting it go would mean that the current choice was not wrong.

“I’ll do it.”

“yes!”

When I took off the bracelet Karina had given me, I felt a dense energy wriggling in my heart.

“It’s a shame…”

While enduring the excruciating pain, he moves his demonic spirit.

It replaces the mana of the circuit with demonic energy, reacts with the sympathetic nervous system, and digs inward.

Faaat-

And, Encia’s holy power wrapped around Cynthia.

Holy power seized the demon that was about to spread out of the heart.

The black magi circled around the heart while being wrapped in golden holy power.

Cynthia’s disturbed breathing began to return little by little, and Cynthia’s demonic energy that permeated her nervous system found the mark.

“I found it···!”

I checked the location and quickly took the magic.

Encia pushed the remaining magic out of Cynthia’s body and put a bracelet on her wrist.

Looking at Cynthia, who showed no abnormality, Encia smiled brightly, joined hands, and jumped up and down.

“It’s done! It’s done!”

“Okay, that’s it!”

demons and angels.

If they were children who would have been placed on opposite sides of each other, the two of them got along well like best friends.

It was a really odd combination, but Cynthia and Ensia didn’t hate that relationship.

“This is not the time. Let’s go find it!”

“yes!”

As before, I killed the presence and crossed the forest, but this time I finally found it.

Spotting two glowing marks in the distance, the two rushed to capture the glowing red marks.

“Got it!”

“We did it…!”

The two of them ran around holding hands, and soon smiled and wrapped themselves around the sign.

Markers act as clues to where the next mark is located.

However, the mechanism was unknown, but the moment the mark was used, the two realized what the mechanism was.

Gying-

As the markers were added to the nervous system they had grasped, the precision became clearer.

If the previous one was a ‘basic map’ with only large roads, the nervous system with the first mark added was changed to a ‘revised map’ with even smaller roads added.

Naturally, I was able to see more through my nervous system, and I was able to detect auras that were difficult to track.

They soon found the second mark.

“Now I’m going to look for the second one…”

clap clap clap-

In an instant, the two people who were about to run away were stopped by a sudden applause.

There, where he turned his head curiously, there was Kang Yu-jin, who appeared through the darkness of the forest.

“Well done. You’ve created a team with good synergy.”

“professor···?”

Why is Yujin Kang here?

The moment the two tilted their heads, he drew a weapon from behind his back.

It wasn’t the usual revolver, but it was a ‘battle axe’ that looked more ferocious than that.

“professor···?”

“You must have known that the sympathetic nervous system of the beast is bi-directional.”

A terrifying anticipation hovered over the blade of the axe.

As anyone could see, the gesture to attack made the two’s faces stained with bewilderment. Only then did they realize.

A ‘wanderer’ attacking a student Kang Yoo-jin said.

That he could also access the sympathetic nervous system, and pinpoint the location of the girls who were penetrating the information network.

And, it means that you can use it to chase the target.

Even the girls didn’t expect that it was Yujin Kang herself.

“You should have been more careful.”

“Hick…!”

Yujin Kang approached with an ax hanging down.

Not using a revolver is a minimal consideration for students.

If he uses a gun, the chances of the kids escaping will converge to zero.

Jerk- jerk-

Ensia stepped in front of Cynthia, who was frightened and backed away.

She stretched out her hand with a solemn expression and shouted at Yujin Kang.

“Stop the violence-!”

“·······.”

“Let’s run away!”

“Sleep… kyaaak!!”

Encia grabbed Cynthia’s hand and jumped.

Eventually, Yujin Kang started chasing them, and the screams of the two girls resonated in the forest near the border for a while.

*

Kyaaa-

A distant scream awakens the quiet forest.

The reverberation of the echoing voice pricked Karina’s ears, who had been bruising in the middle of the forest.

“Looks like he’s moving a bit too…”

A person who has penetrated the sympathetic nervous system must have the ability to hide his presence as well as the ability to gather information.

If I am looking at the enemy, it is only natural that the enemy is also looking at me.

Kang Yoo-jin’s ‘Wanderer’ is about to chase after those who can’t hide their presence.

Even in real combat, those who expose themselves to the nervous system will soon be surrounded by countless monsters and die.

This process of hiding one’s presence is very important.

“You guys should feel it too… the feeling of being chased by the preparing death god…”

Karina thought she was there.

Kang Yoo-jin is chasing him with an axe…

Just thinking about it gave me goosebumps.

If it had been me, I would have passed out on the spot.

“I’m bored.”

Karina lay down on the grass as if she were stretching.

As promised not long ago, Karina went to Kang Yu-jin’s office and received training on the outline of the final exam and how to proceed.

Her job is to act as a ‘command entity’ that coordinates the position of the mark by directing the sympathetic nervous system that serves as the base.

This is the end of the term, and at the same time, it is like a simulated battle against the beast.

“Ummm~ Still, the level of the kids is quite good, right?”

There have already been quite a few children who have found the second mark.

At this rate, it seemed that there would be children who would find all six within 24 hours.

“I don’t want to fight with children, but…”

Since it is Karina, who plays the role of a ‘command object’, children who find all the signs can reach her.

Considering that the main purpose of ‘infiltration of the sympathetic nervous system’ is ‘assassination of the enemy commander’, the ultimate goal is to defeat Karina.

Of course, if you succeed, you get an A+.

“How did I end up playing the role of a punching bag like this…”

Karina, lamenting her situation, suddenly turned her head and looked at a nearby tree.

There, a wyvern with only a head branch was hanging dangling from a tree branch.

“…but I don’t want to be like that.”

If he did it roughly, he might get his head blown off by an angry Kang Yoo-jin and hang on to the side of the wyvern.

I was shocked when I first saw that hair.

Knowing that he was trying to make something like that, he even passed out in his office.

After being forcibly awakened by mind control, look at the head and pass out again 5 times.

It was yesterday that I finally came to my senses and listened to the explanation.

Recalling the memory of that time, Karina trembled all over.

Sabak-

“yes?”

At that time, a human figure appeared through the grass.

A girl wearing a navy blue coat and a revolver.

Seeing Estelle arrive here, Karina’s eyes widened.

“Huh? How did you get here?”

“I found all the markers.”

In Estelle’s outstretched hand, six marks were rotating in rainbow colors.

“Wow… that’s amazing. It hasn’t even been two hours yet…”

“Are you the boss?”

“Right~ I’m the boss?”

Karina got up from her seat.

The horns on his head and the vaguely felt Magi.

Estelle must have noticed Karina’s identity long ago, but she didn’t say much.

Right now I’m just concentrating on exams.

“Anyway, as long as it’s a test, you won’t take it even if you come alone?”

“Yeah.”

Estelle pulled out her revolver.

And then, from Karina who stood face to face, demonia rose.

“what?”

However, Karina was shocked to see Estelle’s magical operation.

The flow of magical power that moves the torch.

And even the operation method to unfold the mind control.

Kang Yoo-jin’s style is deeply buried, and the level is also refined to the point that you can’t even think of it as a student.

“no way···.”

Has Yujin Kang’s terrible control of the mind become a skill now?

Children who have learned to use mind control so skillfully?

‘How well did you teach me?’

Not only good at fighting, but also good at teaching?

I got goosebumps.

For a moment, Karina felt intuition from the Witchbeast’s position.

‘If Yujin Kang’s education could be so effective…’

The Witchbeast could really perish.
