Episode 398 – Academy (45)

As I continued to gesture with my heart, the topography of the lakeside began to change.

Kugugoong!

The sunken hole rose up flat, and clear water rose from the dried-up lake.

“Ah···?”

I hear an exclamation tickling my ears.

Leaving behind Meilin, who was staring at me with her mouth wide open, I concentrated my energies on remembering the beautiful scenery of the past.

Whoa…

I nodded as I looked at the lakeside where the dust was scattered and revealed.

It was quite satisfying. Although it was still bare with no grass or trees, the terrain itself was clean.

A sky full of clouds was reflected on the calm surface of the water. It looked much better than before, when it looked like a battlefield.

Finally, the moment I restored the cabin I stayed in.

“Huh. The power of transcendental people is always amazing to see. “How are you going to do it?”

He put down his cigarette butt and spoke to her admiring voice.

“I’m overlaying the image I created in my heart with reality… Meirin. Soon you will be able to do it too.”

“···I?”

“Yes. Your sword already has a heart. “I don’t know when, but I will eventually reach 9 stars.”

“···”

“It will go faster if I help you. If you want, I can teach you some tricks.”

She paused and just blinked her eyes. She was so embarrassed that she couldn’t speak.

I waited calmly without urging. She thought for a while before releasing her lips.

“I haven’t said that I will succeed King Myeong yet…”

“It doesn’t matter. “I will teach you regardless.”

In fact, she didn’t need to force it. If she reaches the 9th star, as long as she lives in China, she will eventually fill the vacancy of King Ming.

In the meantime, I only had to suffer a little.

“···Thanks. “Favors are gratefully accepted.”

He waved her hand as he watched her bow her head.

“It’s not that difficult, so you don’t have to do that. Ah! “If you really appreciate it, would you like to eat together?”

“Meal?”

Meilin paused and pursed her eyebrows. She looked at my face and shook her head.

“That won’t work. “Don’t you have a lover?”
“Isn’t it okay if we eat together?”

“No. “I don’t think so.”

I tried again with a firm refusal, but there was no answer.

There was no gap to be found. I never thought he would refuse even a simple meal. The guard was stronger than I thought.

“Hmm.”

As she was trying to regain her appetite with regret, her mouth fell open while looking at the lakeside.

It may or may not be visible. She smiled slightly and spoke in a slightly friendly tone.

“But is this what you said you would show me? I definitely like it. “If we just transplant the trees, it will be similar to the old lakeside.”

“···Not this. “I intend to keep the promise I made in the past.”

“A promise?”

Sigh.

She pointed her index finger to the sky.

It was so dark that it was filled with thick clouds. The weather was just perfect.

“Is it possible to cut the illusion on the surface of the water and leave a trace in the sky? He asked me to show him the answer when I find it. Now is the time.”

Slurp.

The sound of metal rubbing against metal can be heard.

He drew his sword and aimed it at the lakeside. I closed my eyes with the sky reflected on the water in my mind.

As I reached the realm of life and death, I thought of the silver river, the flow of cause and effect engraved in my mind.

Quickly!

Silver chains filled the endless river. These were all flows of effect from cause to effect.

Why is the sky reflected on the lakeside?

Simply put, it is because light exists and objects exist. It was no different from seeing one’s own reflection when standing in front of a mirror.

In short, the sky is the cause and the image reflected on the water is the result.

‘Whew.’

In a split second, I focused all my attention on the tip of the blade. I increased my concentration and sharpened my senses.

You can see a thin line connecting the sky and the water.

The providence of the world is thinner than a spider’s web, but will never break. The silver chain containing the flow of cause and effect was turned upside down.

Sigh!

An intangible slash cut through the sky reflected on the water. The fact that I had reached the state of life and death gave strength to an act that would have originally had no meaning.

Causal reversal.

The flow, which had been one-way since the beginning, is reversed. My sword, combed with my heart, went against providence and split the sky.

“Ah.”

The dark sky became clear. Dazzling sunlight poured through the clouds. The clouds that covered the sky were clearly cut as if they had been cut by a knife.

I was satisfied with the sight of Meilin looking up at the sky as if fascinated. She was worth about 100,000 karmas.

“This···”

He stroked her chin, seeing that she couldn’t close her open mouth. She was racking her brain trying to figure out how to seduce him.

*

Like Mei-Lin, she rushes to a wary woman and only ruins what she has done.

She decided to take a step back and focus on building her human likeability.

‘If we go together, someday there will be a gap.’

The idea was to help her reach her 9th rank while solving the problems that abounded in China.

‘Let’s see…’

Now that she had made her decision, she tried to figure out what the problem was in China, but there was no answer.

There are more than one problem. To solve it properly, I had to put in endless effort and time.

‘I can’t help you forever… Let’s set a line.’

My goal is to help the beast people become truly self-reliant. So even if they are not slaves, China should run well.

What does it mean to run well? There may be many conditions, but I set the standard as food, clothing, and shelter.

‘I’ll take care of the house and clothes.’

The problem is food. Originally, most food production in China was done by slaves. But that wasn’t possible anymore, so we had to come up with a solution.

After thinking for a while, I nodded. What should she do? She made a plan and went to find Meilin.

“Meylin. Are you busy?”
“···Not really.”

“Then come with me. “I plan to meet the president, and I’ll tell you about the examination on the way.”

“Ah···”

She stood up from her seat and bowed her head. She was expressing her gratitude in her own way.

“It’s really okay, so you don’t have to be so polite. “But aren’t those gloves uncomfortable?”

“···It’s thin so it’s okay.”

But. She looked soft because it was made of luxurious mesh material. I wanted to touch it at least once.

‘Hmm.’

A thought suddenly occurred to me, so I opened my mouth.

“Why are you keeping it so tight? “When I first met you, I think you were dressed quite comfortably.”

“···That’s right. Isn’t it because of your gaze? “When you look at me so blatantly, of course I have no choice but to cover it up.”

She frowned and spoke in a calm tone to her.

“One of the most important things in achieving self-discipline is to properly recognize one’s own mind.”

“···?”

“People usually don’t know much about themselves. “We live without even knowing what our hearts are looking at.”

When I told her what I felt, her expression became serious. She tilted her head as she thought deeply.

“That makes sense… But why did you suddenly say that after talking about gloves?”

“If you feel frustrated, don’t force it and just take off your gloves.”

“Under.”

She glanced at her as if she were dumbfounded, but she didn’t look away. She nodded her head with a rather serious expression.

“…Are you serious?”

“I’m only half joking. “I’m half serious.”

Does taking off the gloves have anything to do with getting to 9 stars? Actually, I didn’t know that either.

‘I guess it depends on how Meirin feels.’

It wouldn’t have mattered if she had put on her gloves without much thought, but if she had given it meaning herself, there were no shackles to weigh down her heart.

I meant that it wasn’t completely nonsense.

“Anyway. Think carefully about gloves. “Can you give me your hand for a moment?”

“Why are your hands suddenly shaking?”

“Didn’t you say you were going to visit the president? “I plan to use my mental power to leap through space, so feel it carefully.”

“If it’s the power of the heart… Is it the power that transcendents control?”

“Yes. It’s the energy consumed to distort reality. “It is the power of the mind, so I call it the power of the heart.”

After hesitating, she extended her hand to me.

Sigh.

Like holding the bride’s hand on her wedding day. She cupped her palms carefully. The flowing fabric of her fabric felt good.

‘It’s warm and soft.’

Is this the Seomseom Ok that people are talking about? Unlike a female prosecutor, she had no calluses. Like a superhuman with a completely transformed body, all I could feel was soft skin.

I resisted the urge to fiddle and focused.

Flash!

The scenery suddenly changed, and Meilin, who was shaking her head as if dizzy, was startled. She looked around and admired.

“···It’s really amazing. “I couldn’t even feel the magic flow, but it was moving.”

“If you encounter it often, you will be able to feel its spiritual power. “Let’s go first.”

She went to find her tin with her. She soon met a middle-aged man with heavy dark circles who seemed tired.

“I see the Transcendent.”

She looked at the man who greeted her politely and nodded his head.

This man was the supreme leader of East China.

Please note that the old comment is already dead. When I was about to kill the foreign minister, he turned into a mass of tentacles and went on a rampage before being killed by his subordinates.

‘When Oesin died, did his modified body run wild?’

It wasn’t just Tin that suddenly turned into a monster. All over the world, countless leaders turned into various monsters and went on a rampage, being killed or collapsing themselves.

‘I’m glad.’

I was worried about whether I should erase the traces left by foreign media, but since they died on their own, I was relieved of my worries.

‘The ones left are probably beggars who were used by the apostle.’

Deciding to deal with those later, I asked the newly appointed man about the food situation.
