Chapter 544 – 2nd Year 1st Semester (4)

A technique that has not yet been given a proper name, a 4-strikes technique that uses afterflame breaking, followed by shattering diffusion and spiral breaking, and purifies the chaos created as a by-product with a sword and swings it. I just wanted to test the technology, but things got a little bigger.

Seoyeon, who was listening to our conversation from a distance, also approached me with a slightly surprised face.

“Cut that apart won’t cause any problems, right? That person named Geys Hale has left Utopia…”

She seemed a little worried that Seoyeon, who chose to come to Utopia because she didn’t want to be separated from me, would end up with me again.

“They won’t send you out just because you cut them down.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. Geys Hale, it was decades ago that that man cut through the protective barrier. The principal is probably waiting for Yu Xian. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to go right away?”

The professor spoke as if to comfort Seoyeon, who was worried.

The man who built Olympus, as if he were fighting against the system called Utopia, probably didn’t work on it for a day or two.

Even if such work was being done, there was a high possibility that it was really just talk, seeing as Utopia did not impose any sanctions.

“Does your girlfriend not have classes next time?”

“There is a next class, but the sparring between the two ended so quickly that there is little time left.”

“Ah. It happened almost in a split second. I was quite focused, so it felt like it was quite a long time.”

The professor seemed to have a skill similar to the calmness I had.

Thinking back to when he moved very quickly and attacked me while shaking hands with me in class, I thought he might have a skill related to concentration.

“Let’s go first. This gives the professors something fun to talk about.”

The professor seemed to be happy about this incident and after countersummoning his mace and shield, he walked lightly and left the sparring room first, and the two of us who were left lost their breath when we saw him.

“Seeing the professor do that doesn’t seem like a big deal, right?”

“I don’t think it’s anything to be overly worried about… Would you like me to go to the principal’s office with you?”

Even though Seoyeon knew she didn’t have to worry, she seemed to be worried again.

“We could talk for a long time, so I’m just spending time in the dormitory. I’ll send you a text message as soon as I’m done talking with the principal.”

“Do you really have to send it right away? Are you going to get angry if I forget?”

“Yes. Yes.”

To show her understanding, she held Seoyeon in her arms and patted her back.

“But how was it for me? Even though it was powerful.”

“All I could see was something flashing. A gray flame remained like an afterimage… And you seemed to keep moving forward.”

I didn’t think the connection was perfect yet, but even in the eyes of Seoyeon, who has status window skills, it seems to be very fast.

The professor also said it was a split second, but she completely avoided swinging the Sword of Chaos.

After taking Seoyeon to the front of the girls’ dormitory, I went to her principal’s office.

Is this the second time she met him at the lake that day? I felt like it was a very long time ago.

It had actually been less than a year since the principal, who was squatting in the lake and staggering around looking into the water, gave me the gift of eyes to see the underworld, but the time I felt was quite long.

“Even if you have established yourself, it’s only like this.”

Even though the skill to accurately perceive the passage of time helped me, it felt a bit awkward to think about the long time I spent in frozen time.

Knock.

After standing in front of the principal’s office in the corner on the third floor of the building where the student support office is located, I took a breath and knocked lightly on the door.

Then the door to the principal’s office opened of its own accord, and there I was able to meet the principal whom I had not seen in a very long time.

The principal, who was standing by the window where the sunlight was streaming in, turned to look at me. When I saw him from the lake, I thought he was just her grandfather. He looked neatly dressed and looked younger than he did then.

“Student Yu Xian, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you.”

The principal said to me with a faint smile.

“Yes, principal.”

“I plan to keep it short, but it would be better to sit down and talk.”

The principal sat down on the sofa with light steps, and I sat across from her.

‘I can’t read.’

Out of a little curiosity, I tried to read what level the principal had reached, but I felt nothing.

It was hard to imagine how big the gap was between the two of us.

“You probably know why I came here because you heard it a little while ago. Do you have any idea why I need to see someone who can cut through the protective shield?”

“I think it’s because it’s a dangerous technique to use in the academy. Attacks that go beyond the two safety measures can cause fatal injuries to other students.”

I answered the principal’s question thinking it was the closest answer to the basics.

After hearing my answer, the principal shook her head lightly and opened her mouth.

“It’s an answer worth about 30 points.”

“Is it more important than student safety?”

“That’s not true. Of course, the safety of students is the most important. But what I want to ask is related to the essence of it. I believe that you should not take the benefits you enjoy for granted and neglect to explore the principles and essence. .”

When you say essence, is it the essence of shields and protective barriers? It was definitely unique.

It is installed in the sparring room and can be used by lightly manipulating the device, but it blocks most attacks.

There was a time when I threw a lot of shadow lances to try to break through the protective barrier, but it didn’t go away.

It was a protective barrier that did not go down even when the third-year seniors engaged in a magic battle.

“It doesn’t seem to be the magic you commonly think of…?”

The principal nodded lightly in response to my vague question.

I was thinking that the protective barrier was a special magic.

But if it’s not ordinary magic, what is it… Because it was influenced by the technology I used.

‘Origin Absorb, Chaos Craft, Soul Qi, Linkage Stream Crushing… ‘

I made a sword using the same combination as I used last time and swung it.

Of the four combinations, the strangest one could be said to be spirit energy, and somehow I thought that might be the answer.

“Is it somehow related to the soul?”

“You got up to 80 points in no time.”

Seeing the principal’s warm smile, her head worked a little faster to find the answer for 100 points, and she completed one hypothesis.

“Global Academy… Everything that unfolds in Utopia is related to the headmaster’s mind?”

“100 points. That’s the essence of the utopia that I want Xi’an students to know, which is what I dreamed of.

I thought it would be a short, light story, but somehow the topic became very heavy.

Who would have thought that with one swing of the sword, you could get close to the essence of utopia.

“Mana began to flow into the Earth quite a long time ago. It is known that it has been flowing for 500 years, but in reality, it may have been flowing for longer. Is it a prank by the gods or an attempt to elevate humans to gods? It is a power that people could not imagine. I have it.”

“Yes. I learned it in class or history class.”

When I was possessed by Ishian, I saw an Earth that resembled the Earth without the influx of mana. The map I saw was similar to the maps I knew, but there were some differences.

However, differences began to appear 500 years ago, and I sometimes thought it was strange that things like place names and national boundaries were ‘slightly different.

“And I belonged to the faction that wanted to suppress that power as much as possible. Student Xian also observed countless worlds with the power he now possesses to observe the underworld, and by using mana, the moment a few beings monopolize the power, the happiness of the majority can be reached. You would have found it very difficult.”

“Did you observe this before completely handing over this power to me?”

“Even now, it’s almost like I’ve lent a part of it. What Student Xian borrowed is the power to see people in the underworld, but I have eyes that see the underworld wider than that.”

What if we call it the eye through which we see the world? In the case of Lee Sian, whose possession I completely ended, I was able to observe his progress until he died.

But if it is a world unit, is it possible to observe the process from the birth of a world until its destruction? It seemed like the principal would feel that way if he had observed several such processes.

“The amount of mana becomes a class, and those with mana dominate those without, and battles and wars constantly break out. I do not want this to happen, and I do not want this to happen, so I tried to isolate those with abilities in a space called Utopia. I made up my mind and separated it like this.”

It has become clear that the person who can be said to be the owner of Utopia holds the title of principal at the Global Academy.

“However, starting from separating Earth and Utopia to creating Utopia as a space where people can live is extremely difficult, so it was impossible to perfectly realize the world I wanted with magic. So I created it using my wishes and my heart. Starting with a place where students would not get hurt, we created numerous buildings, natural environments, and ecosystems with our hearts.”

I knew from Master Yeomwang that the power of the mind was very important, but I had no idea that the scope could be so different.

What Master Yanwang showed as a demonstration was, ‘I will make the attack land.’ If it was a level of short-sighted power, the principal had created a world and was maintaining it.

“Now that I am able to interfere with my wishes, I have no choice but to meet Yusian students like this. Most of the people who have been able to interfere so far have chosen to maintain Utopia. Geize Hale, who became the owner of Olympus, has no choice but to compete with Utopia. He said he would create a place.”

The reason the principal and professors don’t hate the people who left for Olympus so much seems to be because the founder is trying to promote everyone’s growth by competing with Utopia.

While I was thinking about that, the principal asked me a question that was very difficult to answer.

“I think it’s a little early for a student who has just entered the second year, but since he has been living in another world for a little longer, it should be okay. What do you plan to do in the future, Yu Xian?”
