Chapter 31

The Reincarnated Person Became A Professor At The Academy 31

31 – Basic Stamina Training.

“Whoosh.”

She stood in a ready stance.

Using gravity magic to increase weight, I impose a burden on my body.

Thud. Thud.

The sound of muscles tearing and splitting echoed.

The god asleep in the tranquility of inertia awakened. It sends mana throughout my muscles.

Pupils dilate.

A method of accumulating inner strength while moving.

The inner strength gained through such movement is exceedingly minimal.

I have no choice but to gather only the purest inner strength within my tranquility of inertia.

“Still, it was made automatically.”

A divine art created by combining magic and technique.

Hence, it accumulates mana through breathing without me having to do anything.

Therefore, this is a divine art.

A technique that grows alongside me.

It’s not entirely without flaws.

Unlike other techniques, the accumulation rate is slow.

And...

“Other than me, there are hardly any who can learn it.”

In other words, aside from these two, there are no flaws to speak of.

If I take a potion given by the headmaster, any perceived flaw, namely, that only I can master it, becomes insignificant.

For me, this martial art has only strengths.

That’s the Tao of Nothingness.

“I think I’ll be able to write soon.”

Martial arts practiced alongside the Tao of Nothingness.

The martial arts of Pacheon.

I close my eyes and focus inward.

At that moment, I sensed an intent.

“Teacher, it’s almost time for class, where did you go...?”

It was Yoo Eun-chae.

“....”

“What are you doing?”

“...Th-th-th-that, just doing something without clothes!”

Yoo Eun-chae quickly covered her eyes with both hands.

Then, she spread her fingers and glanced at my body.

I only took off my top because I didn’t like the sweat, but nakedness, really?

“Wow, this is... “

Feeling uncomfortable, I used Yin-Dong magic to wipe away the sweat and put on clothes.

“No, what was your reaction a while ago?”

“It was unpleasant.”

“No, if someone as pretty as me sees...”

“Are the preparations done?”

“The lesson preparation is all done. But why do I have to pick and ask you, when I’m busy too?”

“If you took supplies from the budget, then this much is necessary.”

“...Did you notice?”

“Yeah. You’re good at skimming off.”

As a purple marquis with no experience, he was so secretive that without the experience of being a thief, he might have missed a few.

‘This guy is really...’

Rather than learning martial arts or magic, being serious about thievery...

“No, why are you looking at me like that?”

“No reason.”

With such keen perception, he seemed like he would thrive in that area.

And he seemed to want to take advantage of me.

‘Let’s try catching him and teaching him a lesson.’

But there’s something more important than that for now.

“Come in.”

“...This?”

Yoo Eun-chae’s expression noticeably hardened.

The black iron sword made in the forge last time.

It’s lighter than mine, but I still made it with care.

“Here, take it.”

“Huh?”

“Why?”

“Why do I get four? Looking at the numbers, it seems like some people are only getting one or two.”

“I was originally going to give you two, but did I feel bad for secretly taking the supplies?”

“...Ha, can you just let it slide this once?”

Yoo Eun-chae said, lowering the corners of her eyes.

She looked like a dead puppy in despair.

I smiled brightly.

“Will that do?”

She really must be crazy.

“...I, I have other classes to attend, you know?”

“If my class is more valuable than theirs, you can come.”

“Ugh.”

Yoo Eun-chae pouted.

“So, why did you come here?”

“...Did I make it that obvious?”

“Hmm.”

She was clearly trying to give away some information, but pretending not to.

“There will be a joint gathering and exchange event soon.”

“Joint gathering and exchange event?”

“Yes. The joint gathering is when students and professors in our class join forces to fight, and the exchange event is when professors lead students to visit other schools.”

“Is that so?”

“And this exchange event will start in the United States.”

Yoo Eun-chae’s expression darkened.

“Some rather unusual folks will appear in this exchange event. In gaming terms, it’s like you guys are going to play in a world like this.”

“Hmm.”

“Maybe, a lot of people might die.”

“...”

I pondered.

“Were the two of them respectively Dark Flower and Mad Blade?”

I sat down and explained today’s lesson.

“Today’s class is really simple. Just follow the flag I mentioned earlier, turn around, and come back here.”

“Is it that easy?”

As Sun-Woo-Hyun spoke, Yu-Eun-Chae stared at him as if she could kill.

“No, why...”

“You, even after experiencing that, still don’t know?”

A voice filled with disappointment.

I smiled to reassure him.

“Before we depart, there’s something you all need to do.”

“What is it?”

“Abel.”

“Professor seems genuinely unaware, but am I truly an advanced agent?”

“Because you are, we entrust you with important tasks.”

“Understood.”

As Professor Alves nodded, Abel wore a crestfallen expression.

“Anyway, you all carry this.”

He pulled out a steel ring with a dark glow.

To feel the weight, he dropped it from top to bottom.

Kwoong!

It struck the ground with a heavy thud.

“...No way.”

“No way is the way to catch people. All of you will carry this. Shin Yu, Yu Seol-rang, two each. The rest of you, four each.”

“But what about the magic users? Is this correct?”

“That’s right. Just because you learn magic doesn’t mean you can neglect physical training.”

Even magicians need to have at least some basic physical training.

Those bookworms who only memorize spells without knowing that end up dying a lot in real battles.

I hoped that the students I taught wouldn’t die so pathetically.

“Do the magic users spend their time researching or studying magic?”

Yoo Eun-chae raised her hand and spoke.

I raised the corner of my mouth.

In other words, I laughed at her.

“You guys can’t even walk properly yet?”

“....”

“People who research or study magic don’t dare say such things. Because most of them aren’t superior to my magic.”

But someday, I’ll have to let them go.

I don’t want to create my own subordinates.

But that time is still far away from now.

“I’m an assassin, though?”

Jo Ga-eun raised her hand and spoke.

I smiled brightly and replied, “Do assassins not die when they’re hit?”

“......Yes.”

Even Jo Ga-eun, who had been quiet until then, furrowed her brows.

“Professor.”

“What?”

“Since this is just a tap, why isn’t the magic working properly?”

“It seems quite effective.”

“.........”

Seeing everyone struggling, my mood improved.

“Besides, it wouldn’t be fun just to hop around, right?”

“...It seems like it could be fun.”

“I’m not having fun.”

Their expressions soured.

I clapped my hands together and conjured magic.

Moonlight Frozen Heaven.

Ice Pillar Cone.

Crackling sounds echoed.

Dozens of icicles appeared in the air, each one a thin, over one-meter-long spike.

“I’m going to attack those kids who mess around with remote control.”

“hahahahaha, are you really going to do that?”

Seo Boram laughed carelessly and asked me.

I just laughed.

“No?”

Cheeky.

“...Devil.”

You remembered.

It’s not good when a person only gets whipped.

There’s a carrot too.

“Alves.”

“Yes.”

“Bring it out.”

Alves took out a vial from his pocket.

Three dazzling and sparkling pills revealed themselves.

“These are specially ordered pills by me. I’ll give this reward up to third place in this competition.”

Everyone’s eyes lit up at my words.

“Third place. Just within the top three.”

“It’s a decent item. Even if I can’t use it, I can exchange it for 30 years of my skills.”

Good, great.

Such passion is needed to become stronger quickly.

“Oh, and only attacks that threaten lives are prohibited for students.”

“......”

Everyone looked at me with tired eyes in response to my words.

Wigunak looked puzzled and asked me.

“Is that the rule?”

“Yes.”

“I can’t believe it, but if it doesn’t pose a threat to life....”

“Ah, you don’t know, do you?”

I won’t be disqualified.

So, let me summarize it.

From now on, let’s interfere with each other diligently.

Fighting, everyone.

I smiled brightly.
