Chapter 551 – Splitting the Sky (6)

“Huh? You’re back already?”

The manager of the S-class dungeon spoke in quite a surprised voice when he saw me trudging towards the warp facility.

“Yes. It seems like time passed a little differently.”

The dungeon manager said with a slight frown.

“Nothing like that has ever happened before? Student Yoo Xian, can you tell us the story of what happened?”

Even I, who cleared the dungeon, felt very strange.

When I stopped walking back to Utopia, Professor Jeon Yeon-nam came out of the waiting room inside.

“I need to hear what happened.”

“I think it would be good for the professor to know, too.”

I roughly explained what happened in the dungeon to the two adults.

‘There’s no problem, except that it’s a dungeon modeled after the class I’ve been possessed by.’

As I was talking about my experience, I was once again confused whether I had been to a dungeon or an underworld, but I wanted to meet the principal to find out for sure.

Even though we haven’t met each other since we separated the protective barrier, I felt like I could hear the answer to this strange thing.

“24 hours have passed, but now it’s only 2 hours… Xian students must be pretty tired.”

“I have a skill that recovers my stamina even after falling asleep for a short time, so I didn’t feel tired when performing the mission. I’m tired now.”

If I hadn’t wielded The Origin, wouldn’t I have walked out unscathed?

It was annoying that the mana recovery speed was very slow, and I was a little uneasy that I couldn’t talk to the two summons.

It was quite comforting to know that the two summons were storing the magic and divinity.

“It’s an unusual variant dungeon. The dungeon’s mana is running out now, so she might have to check it out when it opens again.”

The manager said while checking the status of the dungeon using his smartphone.

I opened my mouth, thinking that I had roughly said everything I needed to say and could now go back.

“Professor, may I return to the academy now?”

“Yes. Let’s go back together. Please report back to Utopia.”

“Professor, thank you for your hard work waiting.”

When the two adults showed respect for each other’s jobs, I also bowed my head to the manager.

After returning to the Global Academy using the warp gate, I immediately went to the men’s dormitory and stretched out.

“Ugh! It feels like I slept all day for the first time in a long time.”

Because of my combat sleep skill, I rarely felt tired when I woke up, but when I woke up, I felt groggy.

Although my mana recovery was almost complete, I was still concerned that my two summons were asleep, and I couldn’t store my magic and divinity.

When you both wake up, I’ll buy you a lot of your favorite food.

I brought my smartphone and checked to see if I had been contacted while I was sleeping, and the only person I found was Seoyeon.

Yesterday, everyone in class Q knew that I was going to the S-class dungeon alone, but no one was worried.

“Do you trust me that much?”

She slightly shrugged her shoulders and called Seoyeon.

After a while, Seoyeon’s voice was heard.

“Sian, are you back?”

“Yes. I came back yesterday, but I slept all day in the dormitory.”

“How tired are you? Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”

“Yes. Fortunately, there are no injuries. Please check later.”

“Okay, but I’m in class…”

“Ah. Were you listening to class? I’m sorry. I guess I called for no reason.”

“No, it’s better if you take class after hearing your voice like this. See you in the evening♡”

“Yes. See you in the evening.”

It seems that there is a lot to study in the field of healing, which deals with the human body.

I had the right to continue lying in bed like this, having completed one quest while still being in class Q, but I got up.

I have to go see the principal.

*

When I contacted the student support office that I would like to meet the principal, I immediately received a reply saying that it was possible.

Feeling a little excited because I felt like I was a special student, I headed to the principal’s office above the student support office.

“I didn’t know that student Yu Xian would come first.”

“After visiting the S-class dungeon this time, a question arose. I thought it would be difficult to find the answer without the principal, so I came here.”

“Okay. Let’s hear what happened.”

I added to the story I told the professor and the administrator yesterday about the class I had possessed before and told the principal.

The principal, who listened to the story with interest, even heard that I had cut down a transcendental man wearing a reptile skin and asked me.

“What does Yu Xian student think a dungeon is?”

“I learned that what I learned at the academy was like memories or traces of another world.”

“That’s right. A dungeon is a place where things that happened in another world are implemented due to cracks in space and time, or where creatures from another world are placed. Depending on how much mana the dungeon has, the precision of the space and creatures that can be implemented increases, and the difficulty level increases. We give grades because there are differences.”

This is the same as adding more flesh to the answer I gave up to this point.

“But I have seen a lot of the world with these eyes. And since I am in a position to manage Utopia, I have constantly received reports related to strange dungeons. There have definitely been times when dungeons that should have existed as memories or traces were ‘connected’ to other classes. But usually no one thinks it’s really another world, and unless you’ve experienced it, you can’t doubt it.”

“Definitely… Like the principal said, I don’t think I would have suspected it if I hadn’t experienced other classes.”

Since I was receiving a quest that took quite some time, I gathered information to see if it was a class I knew, just in case.

If it weren’t for that, wouldn’t I have run in a straight line to clear the dungeon?

“In some ways, student Yu Xian is more deeply connected to other classes than I am. So it would be correct to see it as a special phenomenon that occurred when the dungeon and the underworld merged.”

After the principal said those words, she closed her eyes for a moment.

It could be seen as thinking, but it felt different because I knew that the principal had eyes that could see the underworld.

After a while, the principal smiled and opened her eyes.

“I can tell you the answer to Xian for now, but I think it would be better to find out for yourself. Certainty is not a bad thing.”

“If it’s not a bad phenomenon, it’s okay. Thank you for your time.”

I’m not sure what it is, but looking at the principal’s expression, I guess it’s a good thing. Once I figured out that what happened this time wasn’t a bad thing for me, I got up.

“Ah. Can I say that the question I asked back then has come to a conclusion?”

“Yes, principal.”

Like the principal, I also wanted to prevent this world from being interfered with by the transcendent, so I decided on my own policy while saving the ‘world’ this time.

As we sat together in the café after dinner, Seoyeon grabbed my wrist and used diagnostic magic to read her physical condition.

After finishing casting her magic, Seoyeon said with a slightly strange expression.

“Xian, do you know that your constitution is changing?”

“Is my constitution changing? How is it changing?”

“It seems like it absorbs mana too well. Is it because of that Origin Absorb?”

“I think it might be because the skills I use have many types that absorb mana. Your body can adapt to the skills, right?”

I thought that this change occurred because I was a status window expert.

If not, has it changed significantly with the recent increase in rank? I think there must have been many opportunities to look at Seo-yeon and her body as we often overlap, but this is the first time we have talked about it in person.

“Hmm. It’s not really a bad thing… I guess I just have to filter out the strange things and accept them.”

Seoyeon said while gently stroking my hair.

“Are you talking like I’m a child picking things up off the floor?”

“Or not. Shahemoth and Wozniel won’t be able to see each other for a while, right?”

“Yes. Because the burden is a bit heavy on the two of us.”

Even though I control it wrongly, magic and divinity are still my strength.

I, who am connected by soul to two people, can focus on dealing with the chaos by handing over control, but it seems like giving up complete control would be a burden.

In the case of the Black Flame Angler or the White Silver Spear, it was not a one-shot attack, but had the effect of blocking the opponent’s actions, so it had to be controlled for a longer period of time.

‘If I use an older version of The Origin, and it goes astray, I’ll be in big trouble.’

Although it still seems unrivaled, it has become a technique that is close to an absolute hit.

“Xian… Shall we go out?”

However, Seoyeon seemed to think that now that the two summons were out of action was an opportunity.

He was holding my wrist and checking the condition of my body, and before I knew it, he was pressing my chest with his fingers and speaking under his breath.

“Okay. Let’s go quickly.”

Since she had no reason to refuse, she woke up at the café with Seo-yeon.

She asked as she walked quickly across the school to leave Global Academy.

“Seoyeon, don’t you have anything to prepare for tomorrow’s class?”

“Yes. I did everything in advance.”

Seoyeon answered me by drawing her V shape with her finger.

Recently, I have been training regularly, but compared to Seo-yeon, who thoroughly attends classes and even prepares for lessons, I am a free person.

I didn’t want to leave anything behind at the academy, so I thought it would be better to quickly find a room and make love, so I wrapped my arms around Seoyeon’s waist

Daepyeongbo (踏影步).

As I walked a few steps, I quickly arrived at the entrance to the academy, and after a few more steps, I arrived at a motel near the entrance to the Global Academy.

“Wow… Isn’t this too urgent?”

“I was so looking forward to our alone time, so I couldn’t help it.”

“Hehe. Actually, I’m like that too♡”
