Chapter 124 – Bella Astarte

Silence for a while.
However, what the instructor was looking at was not the end of my space deletion.

“It’s amazing. Deleting space.”

Amazing movements that cannot be seen with simple teleportation.
But after that, the moment when he approached Kim Joo-won and attacked him with repeated hits.

The instructor might have thought that even my movements at that time were not the kind of movements that a normal person would see.
Beyond jumping through space, while moving as if it had been deleted.
It strikes Kim Joo-won, who defends himself with lightning and a sword.

A fist swung to strike him.
However, since there was a distance of five footsteps, common sense would never have hit it.

“Then, did you delete the space only for the fist?”

In the video, Kim Joo-won was apparently hit by something and pushed back.
Not the shockwave caused by his ability, but the appearance of being hit by something physical.

Because even if you hit him with something like a shockwave from an explosion light.
The lightning that occurs around him will explode with it, and the reaction will reduce the shock.
To be pushed back like that, the only way in the end is to hit directly.

“Well, that’s fine…”
“You don’t even know the students?”
“Because I just ran out of it.”

However, I couldn’t expose that fact to others like the instructor.
I’m not trying to beat the devil, I have to fight people and win.
It was because the purpose was distinctly different from that of other guardians who aimed to clear the world behind the scenes.

“The blow from the fist that he unwittingly released crossed the space…”

And at that time, the movements Seoha Lee showed were limited to simply jumping over the space.
However, to beat her, her experience and her combat power are all weak, so I need to have these cards in order to win.

“It’s an incredibly deceptive technique.”

It’s fraudulent…
Maybe it’s really what it says.
It’s basic to move in an instant without any precursory phenomenon like teleportation, because if I want it, I can somehow bring out only the result of a blow.

“Is it possible to develop other people’s abilities?”
“Expansion?”
“For example, conveying the skill of the sword wielded by student Kim Joo-won to the enemy…”

Instantaneous movement that is usually seen simply opens the medium that connects space to space in its implementation method and moves.
It is not a method that goes beyond the medium itself for movement, called space, like the space erasure that Seoha Lee uses.

“Well, that’s fine…”

However, if you look at the description of being able to access a two-dimensional space, it seems simple enough.
Lee Seo-ha’s ability allows her to freely move between the current dimension and the space of another dimension, which is actually an incredibly frightening ability.
That is, strictly speaking, deleting a space may be wrong.
Seoha Lee only seems to be deleting the space, but in fact, he is just crossing the two-dimensional space and the current one at his own will.

However, what if the matching coordinate values ​​between the spaces are different?
What if you could adjust the coordinates of the two-dimensional space and make it seem like you moved 1m in the current dimension even though you moved just 10cm in the two-dimensional space?

In the realm of common sense, it would move or attack through the physical medium of space.
If you go to the realm of nonsense, it doesn’t matter what the middle course is.
It is only necessary to arrive at a specific point within the medium of the physical space of the current dimension, or to be able to produce the final result of hitting a specific target in the current dimension.
Even if the intermediate process does not pass through the space of the present dimension, if only the final result can be drawn…

Then, no matter how the enemy defends, in the end, only the result of the blow remains.

“It’s scary.”

I nodded at the instructor’s words.
It was admiration for Lee Seo-ha’s ability to produce only the result of a blow, omitting both the defense and the intermediate process of destroying him.
“Really, I wonder why they ran away for a year. If it’s just the two of them, they’ll be able to become highly respected and outstanding guardians.”

She closed her mouth at her question.
Having said that, I had nothing to say.
Just like she said, if I hadn’t run away, Kim Joo-won and I would have made a name for ourselves as the best aces of our jockey by now.

“Anyway, both of you have worked hard, and I hope you will continue to work hard.”
“You worked hard.”
“Ah, are both students participating in today’s lecture?”

Of course, the instructor’s behavior of asking me if I should participate made me almost laugh out loud.
It’s funny that if you’re an Awakener, everyone will faithfully participate in a system where you forcefully bring them in and make them Guardians.

“No.”
“What about Joo Won?”
“Neither do I.”

Both Kim Joo-won and I had previously attended school.
The fighting power itself is ridiculously strong for a first year student, so I won’t say anything.

“Well, okay. Both students are showing signs of success in personal training, so I won’t stop them. But…”

The instructor came out and looked around Kim Joo-won in turn.

“Do you know why we separated male and female students before? Doing it too much is painful, so do it in moderation. Enough that it doesn’t interfere with training.”

Then I coughed at the words that seemed to contain some emotion, and Kim Joo-won replied silently.
It was me who spoke on behalf of the silent guy.

“Yes.”

* * *

I let out a small sigh.
After all, I wonder if there is a reason for someone who has gone through all of the prenatal sujeon.

“Seoha.”
“…Why.”
“I think we’ll have to restrain ourselves in the morning.”

I was just a bit late in the morning, but I felt like the back of my neck was getting hot at the words of the instructor who immediately caught me and that guy in the morning.

“Huh.”

I nodded at the boy’s words.
It wasn’t a very pleasant feeling to have my secret private life exposed.

“I need to eat lunch.”
“Huh.”

The training he and I are doing together focuses on controlling my dimensional ability.
It’s Kim Joo-won, I’ve been through several regressions, and I’ve been told that I can just do the training method I know…

The problem was me.
I’m not a regressor, it’s because I’m still an object that needs to be nurtured.

‘The reason I overcame Lee Seo-ha’s ability was to move beyond human perception through tremendous firepower and body overload.’

The moment I heard Kim Joo-won’s words, I could feel how fraudulent the move Seo-ha Lee showed at that time was.
In addition, I could see how thoughtless it was for me to give the main character the ability to access another dimension for his supporting role.

“Seoha, you’re all here, can you cheer up?”
“Huh.”

He came down behind him and raised his hand.
Jiing-.
It was time to use dimensional transfer to designate me and the guy as a target when the blue power rose from my fingertips and connected to the two-dimensional space.

A feeling of familiarity from behind.
I was about to use my ability, but when I flinched and slightly turned my gaze back, Kim Joo-won tilted his head and began to look at me as if he was wondering why.

“Seoha, why?”

What I was looking at at that moment.
A woman with silver hair that seemed to shine brightly, as if to show that she was bathed in sunlight.

“…No.”

As if possessed, she regained consciousness, grasping the gaze that had gone back.
Was it because of my mood?
She has come to look at herself, even though she thinks she has become able to look at anyone with any appearance.
That her appearance was as alluring as the body I’m using now.

“Thank you for taking me there.”
“Are you coming out later?”
“Well. I’m not sure.”

She answered him and examined her body for a moment.
A dimensional ability is such an ability that, if its control is not perfect, it can inflict tremendous damage on the caster’s body.
In fact, my current condition was not very good.
It’s because I’m training with a lot of physical burden to make the imperfect perfect.

“It’s very difficult right now.”

Anyway, I don’t know if I’ll be able to participate in the afternoon training.
If I really had as much control as Lee Seo-ha, I wouldn’t have to go through all this trouble…
‘Cause I’m not really her

“Okay, then rest well. I’m going to practice.”
“Huh.”

Kim Joo-won turned her foot.
Used her dimensional transfer to watch the guy getting away for her own personal practice.
Her mind was confused.
Who was that silver-haired girl of her earlier, did I look at her without realizing it?

“Whoa.”

She honestly wanted to find out who she was, but she had a clear goal of getting her new baby back from me.
In order to do that, I had to defeat Lee Seo-ha.
In order to do that, I had to recover my body as soon as possible and raise the control level of my dimensional abilities as soon as possible.

‘Let’s rest.’

I took off my jacket and lay down on the bed.
It would be nice if I could get a good night’s sleep, but I can’t just let time go by later in the afternoon.
So I set the alarm and closed my eyes.

Without imagining what kind of impact she would have on her academy life in the future.

*

“You’re here.”

Dean’s office.
Sitting in front of the old dean and receiving his words politely.
The silver-haired female student in the Honghwa Academy uniform took a sip and carefully set her cup on the saucer.

“Wasn’t the way to come inconvenient?”
“Yes. These days, well, Korea has improved a lot.”
“I’m glad, ma’am.”

The silver-haired female student glanced at the man in a suit standing next to her.
Soon, a yellow briefcase came out of the briefcase and was held out in front of the dean.
The dean took out the documents from the envelope, looked at them for a moment, and then his eyes widened.

“My lady, is this… Is it true?”
“Yeah, what’s the problem?”
“Oh, no. It’s just the first time I’ve seen this ability…”

The female students smiled at each other.
Then, following her up from her seat, her dean pulled her up and said, “If you leave, you’ll be escorted straight to her VIP room.”
After hearing the dean’s words, the female student replied, “Thank you.” Then she started to move her steps according to the secretary’s guidance.

Seeing her back, the dean, who was left alone in the dean’s office, sighed slightly and began to organize the paperwork.
“There are two people of interest…” She muttered.

That moment.
A piece of paper fluttered away.
The name of the silver-haired female student written on the document.

Her English name is Bella Astarte.
His Korean name was Lee Soo-hyun.
