Chapter 381
The Magic Academy is very large.
Numerous training facilities, including the main building, are lined up in a row, with playgrounds and parks sandwiched between them, so finding one particular person takes a lot of time.
But I don’t have to run around looking for it unnecessarily.
I have a special ability that no one else has.
[The ‘Third Eye’ is activated.]
A sphere of pure white light materialized on my palm and rose up into the sky.
At the same time, a wide field of view as if looking down on the ground entered my mind.
I slowly surveyed my surroundings using my third eye.
Where is the law professor…
It didn’t take long to find.
It was because there were people who fell asleep under the influence of drowsiness in the place where the law professor passed, just as an
animal leaves footprints in a white snowy field .
So I turned my attention to the law professor.
“…what. Are you a step late?”
A law professor walking down the street with slumbering steps.
After that, about 20m away, Lee Seo-joon and his company, as well as wizards and teachers from the association, were standing.
And I saw the appearance of ordinary citizens flocking to the sudden uproar.
The fact that Lee Seo-joon arrived at the scene
means that the case will be resolved soon.
Because he, like me, has the [Silver Moon Season], a mental strength enhancement trait that allows him to withstand drowsiness.
Of course, ‘inducing drowsiness’ is not an illusion, but since it is a latent personality, it will be difficult to put to sleep those who have as strong a mental power as Lee Seo-joon or the Wizards of the Association.
“…hmm. Something has gone wrong.”
My goal was to earn points by solving it first before Lee Seo-joon stepped forward.
Well, things don’t always go my way, so I can’t help it.
Right then.
—It’s tricky. He seems to have a personality that puts the people around him to sleep… Even if he only goes near it, he gets dizzy and can’t approach him.
….Yes, even if I went a little closer, the dizziness got worse. Through the third eye,
I heard
the voice of Lee Seo-joon talking to the wizard of the association .
And those words made me wonder.
Do you get dizzy when you get a little closer?
Wouldn’t that be the case with Lee Seo-joon?
—Team leader, how about knocking it out by attacking it?
-no. If an external shock is applied, it may rather cause a bigger runaway.
—You can’t leave it like this. Before further damage occurs…
“……What is it?”
Apparently, they couldn’t even get close to the law professor.
But why?
Even though his latent ability has been strengthened by the runaway, it must not have been to the extent that a professional wizard could not approach it.
“I
don’t know what the cause of the writing is, but Lee Seo-joon seemed to be in a situation where he couldn’t solve the case prematurely.
I couldn’t leave it as it was, so I
moved straight to the law professor.
When I reached my destination, I saw a law professor approaching from the opposite side of me. And behind him, I saw Lee Seo-joon who had found me.
_…Kim Seon-woo?
I looked at Lee Seo-joon and turned my attention to the wizards of the association standing next to him.
When he couldn’t stop the law professor’s movement,
he implemented magic on his hand to stun him using magic.
“Stop!”
At my cry, the association’s wizards stopped implementing and looked at me.
“You can’t shock me. I’ll try to block it”
—…That’s Seonwoo Kim, right?
—Yes, he said he would try to stop it, but what should I do?
-…It’s not another kid, it’s Kim Seon-woo, so let’s see what he’s doing.
With that said, I moved slowly towards the law professor.
—Kim Seon-woo! be careful!
He hesitated for a moment at Lee Seo-joon’s cry, but soon shouted loudly to the law professor.
“teacher!”
The law professor did not respond to my calls.
In other words, the current law professor was in a state of unconsciousness.
With this confirmed, there was only one way to wake him.
You must awaken his mind by contacting his runaway body and controlling his disorganized magic.
I activated the Lunar New Year and slowly approached him.
Right then.
“Ugh…”
I felt a strong dizziness. I took a step back from the sudden headache and put my hand on my forehead.
“……what?”
Surely, in the description in the original work, this level of power was not shown?
Why did this happen?
It was a confusing situation, but I had to find a solution quickly.
As I kept thinking like that, a new method came into my head.
The drowsiness-inducing power emitted by the law professor is not ‘fainting’ by shock, but using a special power to induce dizziness and sleep.
If so, I also need to arm myself with a new mind so that I can’t sleep.
And there was one way that came to mind.
A way to re-arm your mind without using magic.
“……Whoa.”
I took a short breath and closed my eyes.
[The latent personality ‘Overimmersion’ is activated.]
As soon as Overimmersion is activated, one goal is set.
Touching the body of a law professor.
As I finished setting goals, my mind filled with the thought of approaching a law professor.
At the same time, an unknown energy emanating from the law professor filled my body.
I felt something strange, but I didn’t feel it directly because I was using over-immersion.
It was a situation that occurred due to a collision between latent personalities.
Tumble.
So I approached the law professor step by step.
-…what. How are you approaching it?
Surprised voices of people around.
But the closer I got to the law professor, the more I felt like an intangible energy was pushing my body.
No, it was not an intangible energy, my hair moved in the air as if it was blowing in the wind.
But I pushed the energy away and got right in front of the law professor.
“teacher.”
The law professor did not respond to my call. He just looked down at the floor with unfocused eyes.
After all, it seems that it is in a strong unconscious state, so even if you call from nearby, you cannot bring it to your senses.
I concentrated my magic on my fingertips. Then, he reached out and injected magic power in the direction of his head.
The intricately entangled magic of a law professor.
It seemed that something was wrong with his brain as his latent personality went into a runaway and at the same time the flow of magical power was twisted.
I slowly injected mana and released the mana twisted inside my body one by one.
…I wonder if about 30 seconds passed like that.
The focus of the law professor gradually began to return as if he felt a sense of magical stability.
“…Student Seonwoo?”
A law professor calling my name in a faint, inaudible voice.
And the intense energy that had radiated from his body and put everyone to sleep disappeared in an instant.
-…oh my god. Do you think you made it?
—…Uh, the unusual aura has definitely disappeared. How did you do it?
Afterwards, the law professor
stumbled and passed out, probably feeling intense fatigue.
I supported the law professor’s body and lightly laid him on the floor.
“Wow.”
A small admiration for me broke out among the citizens who were watching.
“Kim Seon-woo!”
And Seo-jun Lee and the teachers of the association came running to me. I looked at the law professor’s face again and said to them.
“I fell asleep for a while due to magical stress.”
“is it? Good job once. Leave the rest to us.”
“Chief, I will call the paramedics.”
That’s how one case was solved and a message appeared in front of my eyes.
[Resolved a case that disrupted a festival with a large number of people.]
[Achieved the ‘Solver’ achievement.]
[Obtained 5000 points as a reward.]
[Rescued a person in a place where many people were watching. ]
[Achieved the ‘Little Hero’ achievement.]
[Acquired 5000 points as a reward.]
[Solved the case using ‘Latent Personality’.] [ All stats increase by 2.]
[The power of overimmersion increases by 2.
It gets stronger.]
Acquiring a total of 10,000 points and increasing stats.
I looked at it and smiled with satisfaction.
A siren sounded in the wizard academy.
The law professor, who had disrupted the scene of Taehwije, was loaded into an ambulance and moved to the association’s research and treatment center.
Fortunately, ‘drowsiness induction’ ended up putting people to sleep, so there were no casualties.
For that reason, the wizard academy, which judged that there was no major problem with the ceremony, decided to continue the festival.
In addition, Jeong Hyeon-soo of the special task force was dispatched to Taehwije to investigate the incident.
“Your festival seems to be going on as it is. Citizens don’t seem to care too much about work in the morning.”
Jeong Hyun-soo, who was talking to Kim Deok-hyun on the phone, said while looking around. As he said, the festival site
returned to an exciting atmosphere
with joyful music asking what had happened .
It could have turned into a serious incident, but Kim Seon-woo’s quick action turned it into a minor incident.
—Have you met Seonwoo Kim?
“Are you Kim Seon-woo? Of course, I just came to talk.”
Saying that, I turned my gaze to Kim Seon-woo, who was staring at the empty space from a distance.
I wonder what I was thinking from earlier,
staring into the void like that, bruising.
—How did you say you managed to get to the law professor?
“Uh, that…
Jung Hyeon-soo was speechless and remembered the conversation he had with Kim Seon-woo earlier.
Thinking back on it, I laughed at the absurdity.
“…It’s just because your mental strength is strong, right?”
-…what?
As expected, Kim Deok-hyun’s astounding reaction came out.
Then, a low laugh came through the speaker.
—That’s Kim Seon-woo’s answer.
“yes? Is that the end?”
I asked in a moment of bewilderment.
If you were the usual Kim Deok-hyun, you would have felt doubts about Kim Seon-woo.
—Then it’s over. What else do you have?
“…no. That’s not it.”
—Don’t dig too deep, come back when the situation is sorted out.
After saying that, Kim Deok-hyun’s phone hung up.
‘At around 11:00 am today, at the ‘Taehui Festival’, a festival at the Magic Academy, teacher A’s potential personality ran out of control and an incident occurred that made the citizens fall asleep.
9 p.m.
When I returned to the dormitory after the first day of the Taihui Festival, the news was reporting today’s news.
I watched the news while stroking Gretel’s back as she slept on my lap.
“Fortunately, the runaway incident of latent personality was quelled in less than 30 minutes thanks to one student’s active efforts. That student is Kim Seon-woo, a promising student in the magic
world who has recently been attracting everyone’s attention for his outstanding performance.
My image blinking in front of the microphone held out by the reporter .
For some reason, I felt an indescribable shame.
“Could you explain why you went out first and why you didn’t sleep?
”
“…It seems that my feet went first without even realizing it, thinking about the safety of the citizens
. I think
the reason I couldn’t fall asleep was because of my sense of responsibility to protect the citizens.
It’s obvious, but it’s a sound that I don’t even have in my heart to get points.
The reason I came out was to get points.
Soon, the news screen changed and two anchors appeared in a conversation.
“Did you hear student Kim Seon-woo’s sincere voice? I’ve felt it for a long time, but student Kim Seon-woo seems to have a different idea. You didn’t fall asleep with the power of responsibility.”
“A little hero. Even the magicians of the Association were in a situation where they couldn’t approach it for their own safety, but they took off their feet first
.
Due to the nature of news watched by numerous citizens, when a good story comes out,
the possibility of earning additional points increases.
If you show such a heroic aspect, your interest in me will grow even more.
Anyway, at this point, the time has come for the message to come to mind.
Right then. Even as I read my thoughts, a message popped up in front of my eyes.
[Many people give you respect and admiration. Now, people will watch you carefully even for the smallest of actions.]
[Achieved the achievement ‘Emerging Religion’.]
[Acquired 10000 points as a reward.]
[A change has been detected in the future.]
[The causal rate is 1.0 It rises.]
I got 10,000 points and an additional causal rate. This means that he has earned more than 20,000 points today alone. I smiled contentedly.
“Big. This is it.”
Regressed extras become geniuses
