Selection (3)
The test at Avanrat lasts for a week.
300 test takers spread over an area the size of Jeju Island.
And five supervisors who have to manage them.
It can be said that they are too poor in numbers, but there was no problem at all for them who reached the state as one.
“Haam. It’s not fun…”
A deep forest in Abanrat.
The five supervisors were huddled together and spending their time.
Claire is tending her weapon, and Roshua is looking after her backlog.
Adeline was sitting upright with her eyes closed, and Mason… was reading a book in the sun with his sunbed spread out.
By the way, the outfit was a Hawaiian outfit and sunglasses…
“What kind of camping did you come to, old man?”
“Life is meant to be enjoyed while you can enjoy it.”
“It’s me…”
Skadi, who had nothing to do by herself, could only sigh.
I can’t even say anything
Even if it looked like that, it was because each of them was monitoring the area around Avantrath with their magical powers.
And another reason why they can relax.
It was because of Adeline sitting in the corner.
Because she was monitoring all 300 people with her sympathetic nervous system, the other four didn’t have to be so keen on monitoring.
“·······.”
Skadi, who became a jjuguri, looked at Adeline, who had her eyes closed, with intense eyes.
A woman who appeared out of nowhere and took Kang Yu-jin’s assistant position.
There is no record of where he was active, but Raniakea guaranteed his identity and stayed at the school.
Skadi glared at such Adeline with a very piercing momentum.
“Does it bother you?”
“Muhga… Keuheum. What is it?”
“That kid. Actually, I’m kind of curious.”
Mason said, sliding down his sunglasses.
“Doesn’t it seem like there’s a story behind it?
“No matter how he looks, he’s in his late 20s.”
“Keuheum. It wasn’t. Anyway, it seems like a relationship with a story, huh.”
Skadi let out a sigh as the ground disappeared.
I can’t believe this inspiration unless it’s magic.
“But what are you reading?”
“These? These are the papers that Professor Yujin Kang reviewed.”
“Huh? Why is the old man reading that?”
“Uh huh. Man, I can’t read this because I don’t have it these days.”
Yujin Kang is famous for not only reviewing papers, but also pointing out areas for improvement and supplementation and giving advice.
Its thesis is quite accurate and in-depth, and recently, there have been people looking for the papers he reviewed separately.
Not to mention Mason, a huge fan of Yujin Kang.
Kang Yoo-jin’s dissertation review was so outstanding that these days, more and more professors were trying to find out about his ability and ask Yu-jin Kang to review.
“Oh! I got that too.”
“Eh. Professor Roshua?”
Roshua rushed over and intervened from the side.
He also recently underwent a dissertation review, and the examiner was Yujin Kang.
“Oh, that’s amazing. I didn’t expect you to explain it by pinpointing the strengths and weaknesses like that.”
He took out the thesis he had kept in his bag as if he were enshrining a shrine.
The topic was the reinterpretation and utilization of the three major formulas of magical power, and next to it, the supplementary points and improvements written by Kang Yu-jin were densely written.
All of them were points that showed sharp insights and fresh ideas.
Skadi’s expression as she read them was bewildered.
“Is this…the subject of his thesis?”
“Yes. There are a lot of things like this these days.”
After Kang Yoo-jin published a series of unconventional papers, the number of people who published secondary papers based on his thesis increased in rapid succession.
Scholars, without exception, were enthusiastic about a new aspect of knowledge that did not exist until now.
“Why, isn’t there already a school of Yujin Kang in the academic world? There are still about 10 of them, but they say that the fan spirit is really great.”
“OMG···.”
Upon receiving Roshua’s thesis, Skadi was genuinely impressed.
This is because each and every piece of advice was so logical that I nodded my head.
“A real genius is a genius, this guy…”
As he was admiring it like that, this time Claire, who was quietly grooming her sword, intervened.
“In the first place, this consortium was concluded based on the achievements of Professor Yujin Kang, right?”
She trudged and sat down in front of the three of them.
“What can I say? Since he is a person who has made unrivaled achievements in academic and military terms, fame naturally follows.”
“·······.”
Lately, I almost sent Baltazar to the goal too.
Claire added with a grin.
Every story that comes out of each person’s mouth is like a legend.
Skadi, who returned the thesis, sighed in despair.
“That person, I have no idea what else to show you now.
“hahahaha. You never know. In addition to the corps commander, he’ll also bring an ancient relic that was buried somewhere.”
“Eh, no matter how much he is, that’s a bit.”
All four of them laughed, but there was a bit of doubt behind it.
If it was Yujin Kang, it really seemed like that…
While the story is blooming like that.
Adeline, who was alone with her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes.
She slowly turned her head to look beyond the distant forest, and before long, her tightly closed lips opened.
“It’s an intruder.”
*
Avanrat’s waterfront.
Baltazar, who had crossed the dimension, made land unreachable by humans as his destination.
However, there was one thing she overlooked. She lived in a spirit body for a long time and did not know how to swim.
“Kuhhhhh!”
His breath was choked and his body sank… he was not accustomed to the use of magical powers, so it was not easy to use magic.
As soon as she moved, she was in danger of becoming a water ghost and was struggling hard when two humans passing by found her.
“Isn’t that a person?”
“Baby, I think I’m missing…”
They were Encia and Cynthia, who visited Avantrat to take the test.
The two of them, who had been roaming the island in search of shrews, had reached the shores of Avantrat before they knew it.
“Let’s save it first!”
“Yeah…! Yongyong!”
The dragon that flew away picked up Balthazar’s clothes and carried him to the shore.
“Thank you… kuluk kuluk… thank you…”
After drying her wet face, the two of them built a warming magic and a bonfire for her shivering body.
“Thanks to you, I lived. Thank you very much.”
“Oh, no. Of course I did my job…”
While Cynthia shyly thanked her, Encia tilted her head and stared at Balthazar’s face.
Ignoring Ensia, Cynthia said.
“My name is Cynthia. Cynthia Westerlund.”
“Ah. I’m Balta- Ah, no… ‘Bell’.”
Balthazar, who almost blindly gave his real name, hurriedly said his pseudonym.
It was awkward because it was made hastily, but the two in front of me seemed to believe it.
“Hmm…”
“Enshi?”
And in the meantime, Encia was staring at Baltazar’s face.
Whatever he’s thinking, his expression is very serious.
“Enshi… Excuse me then…”
“Ah! I’m sorry. It’s a face that seems like I’ve seen it somewhere.”
“···yes?”
Balthazar was hot at the moment.
You see, it couldn’t have been.
This is because it was created on the spot according to instinct.
“It must be an illusion… an illusion.”
“Hmmm…well, that’s right! My name is Encia.”
“Yeah, yes.”
When Ensia smiled brightly and sat down, Balthazar sighed and once again formally thanked him.
“Thank you. You are my lifesaver. I will make sure to repay you later.”
“Gwa, it’s okay…”
“Ah~ What’s that?”
Balthazar raised his head and looked up at the sky.
It was already getting dark.
She had to find Kang Yu-jin as soon as possible, so she tried to leave her current relationship behind.
growl-
“·······.”
Momentarily, silence fell.
What is this?
Why is my stomach suddenly making this noise?
Come to think of it, my stomach hurts a bit too. No, is it different from being sick?
Baltazar, who experienced ‘hunger’ for the first time, expressed his embarrassment at the first physical physiological phenomenon he experienced in his life.
“If you’re hungry, would you like to have this?”
“Hmm? No, it’s fine…”
growl-
“·······.”
“·······.”
Hungry. This is the feeling of being hungry.
It was a really shitty sensation…
The hungry stomach cries out for food, and the nerves become sharper.
‘I’m hungry… I’m hungry…’
Since he was polymorphed into a human, his physical abilities were also reduced, and to avoid the eyes of the Constellations, he had all the demons captured, and since his body was a demon, he could not recover his energy with magic.
To make matters worse, Abanrat’s demonic energy completely disappeared, and it could not be restored naturally.
In fact, weakened as she weakened, she grabbed her hungry stomach and chewed her lips.
“It’s a big deal…”
I wanted to hit them all.
I missed Pandemonium where His Majesty the Emperor resides…
“Well… we’re fine, so please eat this.”
Cynthia held out a small chocolate bar.
After accepting the chocolate bar, Balthazar’s gaze was fixed on the brown chocolate.
The fragrant and sweet smell tickled my nose, and my mouth watered like a flood.
“gulp···.”
Is the act of ‘eating’ really necessary?
For Balthazar, who originally did not need the act of eating, this was a sensation that caused great confusion.
But what can I do? I’m hungry.
In the end, she couldn’t overcome the strong temptation of the chocolate bar and took a big bite.
“······!”
In an instant, her black eyes widened.
The deep sweetness and flavor of chocolate on the tip of the tongue.
A subtle harmony of softness and stickiness that is conveyed with each bite.
The moment the scent of almonds permeated through them tickled her nose, she trembled with the ecstasy she felt for the first time in her life.
Wow and goo-
The chocolate bar disappeared from the world in 30 seconds.
“What is this?”
“Uh…it’s just a chocolate bar…”
“Chocobar…”
Her gaze turned to Cynthia.
A gaze longing for something.
In the end, Cynthia gave all the chocolate bars she had brought with her, and the more than 10 snacks disappeared within 10 minutes.
“Huh…Thank you. I’ll be sure to repay you for this delicacy.”
“Oh, no…”
Cynthia waved her hand, saying it was nothing, but her expression became gloomy as she lost all the snacks.
And, even in the midst of that, Ensia’s gaze, which had been staring at Baltazar, turned to one side.
There, a shrew that just showed up was eating wild berries.
“Oh! It’s a shrew!!”
Ancia jumped out, followed by Cynthia.
As a result of fighting for 20 minutes to catch the swiftly escaping shrew, the two of them sat down devastatedly watching the shrew that had run away.
“I missed it again…”
“Ahhhhh, why are you so different from last time?”
This time, the shrew didn’t even listen to their demonic vocalizations.
This was also Kang Yoo-jin’s arrangement, so it was a disaster created by his deep will not to do what he was taught too much.
“Hmm…? Are you trying to catch a leaping shrew?”
And Baltazar, who was watching the scene, said.
“Yeah…that’s a test…”
“Ho-oh…”
I had heard that Yujin Kang was taking the exam, but I never thought it would be something like this.
It may not be an interesting topic.
And in this field, Balthazar, the Witchbeast, had no choice but to be an expert.
It’s nothing else, because the sympathetic nervous system itself is the exclusive property of witches.
“Looks like it’s tied to the sympathetic nervous system. If they belong to the original nervous system, they don’t listen to anything else.”
“Eh, how could that be… ah, but there’s no other way.”
Then, the two began struggling to reconnect to the sympathetic nervous system.
Seeing that, Balthazar thought.
If you coax these children well, wouldn’t it be possible to meet Kang Yoo-jin without fighting?
Rolling her head, she cleared her throat.
“Oops. Don’t do that, I’ll tell you the way. I’ll give you a chocolate bar as well.”
“yes···?”
To the two bewildered, she gave a demonstration with the magic she had generated while whimpering.
“Don’t just try to find it, make him come this way.”
“Come? How are you?”
“The sympathetic nervous system is for communication. It transmits their language along the circuit to direct movement this way.”
As a collaboration of the so-called ‘masu language communication’ and ‘sympathetic nervous system’, it could be said that it was a perfect use of the two technologies.
She demonstrated the way she just talked about using magic to instantaneously create a sympathetic nervous system.
When I showed the method of the doctor’s delivery and induction, the eyes of the two shone brightly.
“Oh… this way?”
Their eyes widened, and then they understood.
Until now, I had been blindly trying to catch it, but if you think about it, Yujin Kang has always emphasized the use of the knowledge she has learned.
“So this was your purpose…”
“Ahh. It’s embarrassing hahahaha.”
Seeing the two scratching their heads awkwardly, Balthazar smiled softly.
No matter how enlightened you are, it will take time to acquire it.
In the meantime, if you coax these children well…
“Oh, that’s right! The shrews reacted!”
“Me, me too…”
“Hmm…?”
However, the two were talented people who ranked second and third in Mathematics, and it took less than 10 minutes to learn the method she taught.
The two delivered the shrew’s ‘master language’ through the sympathetic nervous system, and eventually succeeded in making the two shrews move here first.
Balthazar looked bewildered at the sight of the two, each holding a shrew.
“Professor! We got this!”
“Geez, please check…”
As they raised their shrews toward the sky and spoke, Kang Yu-jin’s voice resonated in their heads.
– Hold on until the test is over. Getting there is a challenge.
“Ah…”
“yes···.”
-Then, good work.
Was it true that he was always watching?
He listened to the girls’ achievements in a calm voice and gave them the next task.
While he let out a sigh of despair at the thought of protecting shrews for a week, Baltazar, who was watching the communication between the two, felt a thrill run down his spine.
‘This is it!’
That moment ago was definitely Kang Yoo-jin’s signal.
If I could just trace those communications back, I’d be sure to find him.
“one week···.”
The test is one week.
You must meet him in it.
The time to avoid the eyes of the Constellations and professors would be the last line.
Balthazar’s eyes, smiling evilly, turned to Cynthia and Encia.
“Rather than wandering around, wouldn’t it be better to visit that professor yourself?”
“In person?”
“Yes. Think about it. Rather than walking around the island in this situation, wouldn’t it be safer to be next to that professor?”
The two of them were troubled by what he said in a quiet voice.
Encia, who had been touching her chin seriously, eventually uttered a low voice in a serious voice.
“After hearing it, it seems to be true. I cannot logically refute it…”
“right?”
came over
Balthazar sighed in delight.
“Then let’s go. Until then, I will protect you guys.”
“Okay then.”
So the three of them left for Kang Yu-jin’s place.
It was the moment when an extraordinary combination of angels, demons, and the king of ghosts was born.
growl-
“Yeah, but do you have any more chocolate bars left…?”
“·······.”
“·······.”
And Baltazar received three more chocolate bars from Encia that day.
*
– There is an intruder.
“Know.”
The heart of Abanrat.
I received such a report from the depths of the cave.
Of course, I have already seen it.
When receiving the report from Cynthia and Encia, she sensed an unknown person next to her.
“I don’t know who.”
It wasn’t a sign I knew, and I didn’t have access to the sympathetic nervous system.
You won’t know who it is until you see it in person.
However, to go find it, the current situation was not easy.
-Seueuuu…
Faint traces of magic flowing through the inside of the cave.
Holding on to the feeble consciousness that was mixed in it, and seemed to be dissipating at any moment, I concentrated on increasing the output of mind capture.
“Leave it for now. I have work to do now.”
-yes.
I raised my head and looked ahead.
A bizarre space painted with colorful magical powers.
What awaits at the end of this maze-like space is certain…
“The remains of the constellation that created this island…”
The area occupied by the Witchbeast is obviously a place of great value to mankind as well.
It is the same with Abanrat.
If power could be extracted from the remains of a dead constellation, it would be useful for raising my level, weapon material, and research material.
‘If he had come with someone else, he would have said that he had to hold a funeral.’
It might not have been Adeline, but given the climate of the place where the Constellation was valued, there was a strong possibility.
But I have no intention of doing that.
Why do you throw away what you can use?
Rather than passing it off in vain, I decided to dream of the perfect crime.
Amplifies the magic power of the 5th circle to the maximum, and raises the power of mind control to the limit.
And then, like tuning the frequency of a radio, I tracked down the faint traces of consciousness and caught them.
-seueueueu
“There you are.”
While chasing after the faint traces.
I took a step towards the heart of the island that the monsters couldn’t find.
