The Regressor Make Everything

108 episodes

The center of downtown Ur.

A procession of cadets continued toward the ivory tower, a mega-sized building boasting unrivaled size and presence among the tall skyscrapers.

“Whew… … Whoo… … .”

“If you just make a good presentation… … .”

“Please don’t let the magic happen… … .”

The cadets look up at the ivory tower, which is getting closer with tense expressions.

Some cadets were too nervous, so they ran down the alley and vomited, while others could hardly take a step forward.

Sehun Lee, who was watching the scene while walking, made a slightly curious expression.

‘I didn’t know it would be this noisy.’

He thought that only famous ones would participate, but contrary to his expectations, most of the cadets in the field of magic seemed to have come.

In addition to the 1st and 3rd graders, I saw a lot of 4th graders who had a hard time seeing their faces because they were doing active duty at the same time.

‘The ivory tower knows that much, but that’s it.’

Previously, I thought it was just a large sponsoring foundation, but it seems to have more power than that for those who are engaged in the field of magic.

‘Then the 『Dawn』 must have penetrated deeper than I thought.’

If you have this kind of influence, you may have a mix of executives and at least one or two of the board members.

Lee Se-hoon, who raised the alert level by one level, arrived at the front of the building, and guards in suits raised their voices to guide them.

“Cadets participating in the Special Student Selection Contest, please enter through the entrance on the right!”

Naturally, a line was made at the entrance, and as they passed one by one, Sehun Lee’s turn came.

“There is a simple magic scan as you enter, so please do not resist and enter.”

The moment Lee Se-hun entered the entrance while listening to the guard’s explanation. Magical energy passed through his entire body thinly, and he looked around his body.

‘Are you checking only the items loaded with Magi?’

In sensitive areas, they turn over all subspace items, but they checked only the basics, whether it was because it was a barbell or whether they were confident in their facilities, and sent them into the lobby.

“Please follow the guidelines and come in!”

The guards were constantly shouting and guiding, and the moment when Lee Se-hoon was about to go inside.

“Lee Se-hoon cadet!”

“Please take a look here!”

Click click!

Shouts and camera sounds from beyond the guidelines. The reporters who were waiting for the participants, to be exact, famous people, found Lee Se-hoon and busily asked questions.

“Tell me what motivated you to participate in this special student contest!!”

“There are rumors circulating that you are transferring from the Smelting Faculty to the Sorcerer’s Faculty, is that true?”

“The artisans who claimed that Sehun Lee’s skills were a lie suddenly declared a closure, do you know anything about it?”

It seems that he is trying to save something about himself this time rather than a special student contest. At the heated reaction, Sehun Lee put on a slightly surprised expression without knowing it.

‘Looks like I’ve become a little famous. Journalists are also stuck… … .’

I didn’t come here just to see myself, but it makes me feel special to have such a strong reaction.

Lee Se-hoon pondered for a moment when he saw the reporters staring at him with scorching eyes, and then opened his mouth.

“The mass production of swords.”

“… … Yes?”

“Is it really impossible?”

Lee Se-hoon asks a question out of the blue and walks inside following the guidelines. The reporters, who had been staring blankly at the back, realized the intention of the question, and immediately opened their eyes wide.

“Come on, wait! What does that mean?!”

“Did you say that mass production of swords is possible?”

“Lee Se-hun, only one word… … !”

“You must not cross the guidelines!”

The screams of reporters from behind and the urgent voices of the guards. At that violent reaction, Sehun Lee smiled involuntarily.

‘It’s not even a riot.’

Soon, his words will spread on the Internet, and all kinds of nonsense will spread, such as whether he is researching the mass production of swordsmanship, or has already made it.

When Lee Se-hoon, who diligently sprinkled ground rice for a plan with Myers later, is satisfied.

“I am not afraid.”

A voice mixed with sighs came from behind.

A handsome young man with dark blue hair. Rather than trying to laugh at himself, Sehun Lee made a puzzled expression at the voice that seemed to be sorry.

“What are you afraid of?”

“Don’t you know that mass production of swords is a technology that the Manma Wars side is also watching closely? Even if it is a lie, you can die the moment you are suspected of it.”

It was the mass production of sword weapons that even those who tried to get the industry’s attention by saying all sorts of nonsense never said anything hastily.

But how do you say it out loud like that? If you’re not inside the barbell, you don’t know what will happen the moment you go out.

“It would be better to say that it was a bluff even now. Or maybe something really happened.”

Sehun Lee pondered for a moment when he saw Howard Grant, a young man who gave serious warnings, and then asked.

“But who are you, pretending to be close to me?”

“… … .”

There was silence for a moment at Lee Se-hoon’s question, and then Howard looked at him with a look of disbelief.

“You don’t know me? I’m the head of the same department, how… … .”

“A department head? Oh, are you on the Ur side?”

A puzzled face, as if he really didn’t know. When Howard stands idly by forgetting his original plan to become friends with Lee Se-hoon at the unexpected reaction.

“What’re you doing?”

Louise, who walked out of the inner hallway, found Lee Se-hun and frowned.

“If you are a participant, you must come sooner than your assistant.”

“Somehow, I was a little late. Leah?”

“I went up first. It’s on the same floor as us, so you can see it when you go up.”

“okay? Then let’s go right up.”

There are a few things to check before the test, so be diligent. Sehun Lee, who was going to the elevator with Louise, suddenly glanced at Howard who was talking to him.

“hey. Louise.”

“yes?”

“Do you know who that guy is?”

“That guy?”

Louise, who poked her head over Lee Se-hoon’s shoulder, looked at Howard’s face and immediately made a puzzled expression.

“I don’t know… … Aren’t you just a participant?”

“okay? Hmm… … .”

Sehun Lee, who looked at Howard strangely, muttered a little.

“I’m going to see all sorts of strange people… … .”

Lee Se-hoon, who seems to have nothing more to say, goes to the elevator inside with Louise. Howard stared blankly at his back, and took a deep breath.

‘it’s okay… … It is not within the expected range. Maybe he knew it, but he provoked it by pretending not to know.’

Since you participated in the special student selection contest with a lot of effort, you have to show your true form. Thinking about that, Howard calmed himself down again and headed inside with a calm expression.

“hey. I’m chasing him.”

“Are you going to tell the guard?”

“… … .”

Seeing Lee Se-hoon and Louise muttering, their eyes were distorted with all their might.

***

ding!

[This is the 12th floor.]

Arrival elevator on the 12th floor where the 3rd test site is located. Sehun Lee, who got off the hallway with Louise, glanced down.

‘He just… … What are you doing?’

At first, I thought he was just a rookie guy, but after talking for a while, I realized that it wasn’t.

From the way you look at the other person to your facial expressions and actions. Each and every movement was calculated.

‘Can a cadet do that… … .’

You can hide your inner feelings and show off your inner self. Louis can do it, but it’s unusual to hide your facial expressions and actions like that.

Se-hun Lee, thinking that he should be careful if they meet again later, went out of the hallway and looked inside the 12th floor.

Desks lined up in five rows and cadets visiting their seats and taking out their submitted items.

Whoa!

There were a lot of magic circles that looked complicated, and there were also a lot of disposable items such as scrolls and jewels.

There is a thick book or a ghastly glowing axe. There were quite a few people who came with large boxes and bookcases, but they were quite diverse.

Lee Se-hoon, who glanced at the scene quickly, then looked around the wall or ceiling.

‘Is it expanded with space magic?’

The inside was wider than it looked from the outside, and it was strange to see an open space appearing as soon as you exit the elevator hallway.

Perhaps the facilities originally on this floor were moved to another floor, or they could have used a subspace at all.

‘Hmm… … . How far are you going?’

When I was examining Lee Se-hoon’s examination room step by step and counting it in my head.

“Well?”

Louise, who looked around the cadets around, made a puzzled expression.

“Where did Leah go?”

“why. I can not see?”

“yes. Obviously I went up first… … .”

Seeing the bewildered look of Louise, Sehun Lee also looked around quickly, and then narrowly opened his eyes to a sight in front of him.

“I’ll be leaving for a while, so please go to your seat.”

Sehun Lee, who had left Louise alone, looked down at the desk where there was no one there.

“What are you doing there?”

“Ahh… … !”

thud!

Leah slammed her head under the desk in surprise as she glanced at the cloth-wrapped object.

“Ouch… … .”

Sehun Lee touched his eyes for a moment at the back of his head wriggling while holding his head, then asked with an absurd expression.

“Are you doing this to make me laugh?”

“Oh, no. That’s not it… … So… … .”

When Leah was bewildered, unable to speak.

“I’m doing this because I’m afraid it will explode again.”

The voice I had just heard came from behind.

“I used to cause a lot of trouble with that ‘Sphere’ in my freshman year.”

Se-hun Lee turned his head and asked the story of Howard, a young man who had been chasing him.

“Inconsiderate?”

“As explained then, only the objects specified by the user should be connected with simple enchantments… … “.

As a result, the numerous objects that other cadets had prepared for the first-year evaluation test were randomly connected, and the power amplified by resonance exploded at once.

“There were no fatalities thanks to the protective devices at the testing site, but there were quite a few children injured. I don’t know if that was the cause, but there were friends who dropped out after poor grades.”

“… … .”

Leah’s expression darkened at Howard’s explanation.

It’s already been two years, but it was hard to completely forget that moment as it was the first time I hurt someone.

“Well, but now it’s all over. And to bring it back today… … Are you sure you’re not going to do the same thing over and over again?”

“… … .”

“I look forward to it. There are so many people interested in your submissions.”

Howard grinned and went to his seat, and Leah, who was under the desk, silently hugged the cloth-wrapped object.

Seeing that, Sehun Lee sighed deeply and spoke.

“You saw it working yesterday.”

“… … right.”

“I checked it nonstop for several days just in case.”

“It was about 103 times.”

“Are you still worried?”

To Se-Hoon Lee’s question, Louise closed her mouth for a moment and answered as if squeezing it out.

“This… … I am anxious.”

I know in my head that the enchantment I made this time is different, but my heart doesn’t quite follow it. Seeing Leah like that, Se-Hoon Lee put on a troubled expression.

‘Was this the cause of the slump?’

The experiment continued even though there was no problem, so I was nervous that I might just drop out, so I thought it was because of my old thinking.

Sehun Lee, who was contemplating what to do with Leah, who withdrew, used the simplest method.

Whoo!

“uh?”

The large desk sounded like a piece of paper, and in the meantime, Sehun Lee quickly grabbed Leah’s body.

“Wow!”

Sehun Lee, with Leah around his shoulders, put the desk down again and gently looked down on it.

Then he wrapped the Black Spirit Temple around his waist in several layers and fixed it on the desk.

“＜Force Freeze>.”

Whoo!

It was made of rope stronger than iron by engraving on it.

“… … Come on, wait.”

In the blink of an eye, Leah was immobilized sitting on the desk.

As I sat in a higher place than the others, my hair naturally protruded and stood out, but gazes poured in from all directions.

“Huh, mate. I don’t think this is Not in our classroom, but in the contest… … .”

Even Leah, who was unaware of shame, had no choice but to recall the shame.

Seeing Leah’s face turning red, Lee Se-hoon quietly looked into his eyes.

“Our seniors can do well. go for it.”

After leaving a sincere support, he returned to his seat.

“ah… … no. Wait, mate! It’s my fault. Because I’m excited now… … no… … Really, hey dog—”

There seemed to be a sound coming from behind, but Sehun Lee neatly ignored it and took out Hati.

“Let’s get ready soon. Can you do it?”

“What… … Because I practiced.”

Louise, who was handed Hati, was about to put it on, and suddenly looked back.

“… … .”

Leah sends a begging look for help. Louise’s eyes trembled for a moment at that sight, and then she turned her head as if she didn’t see anything.

“너 진짜 개새끼인 거 알지?”

Lee Se-hoon laughed at the question with admiration in many ways.

“If you don’t know, you’re a devil.”

“… … .and so is it.”

It’s painful right now, but I thought it would be a good experience anyway, and Louise cheered for Leia in her heart.

“From now on, we will proceed with the preliminary round of the Special Student Selection Contest! All cadets, please wait in your seats!”

The host’s loud cry resounded in the third examination hall.
