Meaning of teacher (1)

Afterwards, Yujin Kang and Estelle visited Helios again.

It was to solve the problem of Estelle’s ‘imperfect origin’.

It was Kang Yoo-jin’s theory that incomplete power somehow adversely affects the body, and he decided that a means to stabilize the activity of the source was urgent.

That’s what I came up with as a weapon.

It was judged that a weapon that could protect the body in case of emergency while also serving as an artifact to assist the source was the most appropriate.

“But are you really going to do it with a gun?”

“Yeah.”

And Estelle chose a revolver as that weapon.

At first, I picked it up out of curiosity, but now it has become a weapon I can handle better than anything else.

Kang Yoo-jin suggested a simpler and better weapon, but Estelle was stubborn.

She rarely insisted on not needing a revolver.

So, he came to Helios, where the greatest gunsmith he knew was located.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been here.”

Gunsmith ‘Blue Rose’.

In fact, he was the only gunsmith in the central dimension, including Helios, and the two were quite close.

“Has it changed a lot?”

“Because a lot happened.”

Until last year, this store, which had been run down in a corner of a back alley, has been reorganized and changed into a pretty good look today.

It was because Rana herself, the head office and manager of the ‘Maria’ brand, was the first artisan of the rotating body kit.

Blue Rose, which only flew flies a year ago, has become a popular tourist attraction today.

“Welcome~”

Unlike the old days, you hear a greeting as soon as you enter.

Of course it wasn’t Lana, it was an employee she hired.

Thanks to the large size and the number of customers, the number of employees working at Blue Rose reached 10.

The female employee who greeted him warmly opened her eyes when she saw Yujin Kang’s face.

“Ah! Are you Professor Yujin Kang?”

The voice he raised after recognizing Kang Yoo-jin.

At that cry, the attention of the store was immediately focused.

It wasn’t even a crowd.

Because recently, he was the one who unconditionally put his name in the ‘Top 10 Most Influential People in the Central Dimension’.

As envious glances pierced here and there, Estelle felt a little proud and stuck to his side a little more.

“I want to meet the manager.”

“As expected, you are Professor Yujin Kang! Wait a minute! I’ll bring you right away!”

The clerk hurriedly ran downstairs with a warm greeting.

Lana was also a busy person now, so she was worried about whether the time would be okay, but contrary to his concerns, Lana ran straight to the counter.

It was the world’s furious thing to run out of the world.

“Wow!! It’s been a while, Professor!”

It’s been quite a while since I haven’t seen her, but she still welcomes Kang Yoo-jin.

When he saw Estelle, who had also come with him, a happy smile spread across his face.

“Oh my gosh! Lady Estelle is here too! Welcome back!”

“Ah yes.”

“This is not the time. I’m going to stop doing business today. Just wait a little bit!”

“There’s no need for that…”

Yujin Kang tried to stop her, but Rana was reckless.

She let out the crowd of customers at once and flipped the sign in front of the store to ‘Close’ without hesitation.

“Guys, you guys, hurry up and get off work!”

“Um…we still have work to do…?”

“If you go, go, these guys! Even if you let me go, I’ll be dissatisfied!”

And after kicking the staff out of work, she finally came to the two with a smile on her face.

“Have you waited long?”

“… No. Thank you for your time.”

Although the store has prospered greatly, Lana still hasn’t changed.

He makes his own guns and kits, and continues to repair and develop weapons.

All successful people are bound to rise, but she still had a sense of stability, as if she were standing with her feet firmly on the ground.

It must be because his nature is humble and sincere.

“But there was no need to empty the store.”

“None other than our store’s best regulars have come, so of course we have to empty it!”

Lana’s will was stubborn.

When Blue Rose was on the verge of going out of business, it was none other than Kang Yu-jin and Estelle who helped her.

It was because they were the two of them who paid the price for the expensive orders and steadily increased their sales by periodically purchasing ammunition and parts.

“I always welcome the two of you!”

“···okay.”

“So, what are you here for today?”

Taking out my notebook and preparing to listen was exactly the same as before.

Yujin Kang, who rarely smiled, pointed at Estelle, who was sitting quietly.

“I’m here to request a special weapon for this child.”

“Oh~?”

Lana’s eyes lit up.

It’s nice to see the two regulars come, but spells are Estelle’s exclusive weapon.

For Lana, it was an incantation that ignited her desire.

“It’s good, it’s good~ Then, I should start with the design, right?”

“Yes.”

Lana confidently led the two into the workshop.

Even if it wasn’t, recently, with increased orders and production of rotating body kits, their skills were in a state of progress.

Lana was excited to show the two of them her improved skills, but unfortunately, that confidence had to fade in less than 30 minutes.

It was because Estelle’s power characteristics were too complex.

“This, this…”

Estelle’s unique ability.

Seonghwa’s characteristics are also very complex, and she is even a preliminary constellation.

It is not a perfect source, but an incomplete source, and since it needed the previous level of function to support it, even the grown Lana’s capacity could not follow it.

“Ugh… this, this is…”

In the end, she became weepy and her shoulders drooped.

“I’m sorry… I don’t have the skills to design something like this yet…”

Disappointed, and thinking that she had to send the two people who had visited after a long time empty-handed, Lana replied with a sorry face.

Estelle was disappointed inside, but she didn’t blame Lana.

She is also a kind person, and Estelle herself knows that her powers are complex.

“it’s okay.”

“I’m sorry, Miss Estelle…”

While they were exchanging comfort, Kang Yoo-jin, who was watching them, intervened.

“Then, can you build it with only the blueprints?”

“Uh… that’s possible, but… is there anyone who can design it?”

It’s not another object, it’s the characteristics of the constellation and the source?

When Lana looked at her with an innocent face, Yujin Kang replied with a no-nonsense face.

“Then I’ll do the design.”

“… Yes? Is that possible?”

“Did you forget? I was the one who designed my gun in the first place.”

The first day I came to Blue Rose.

Lana opened her mouth after recalling the not-so-pretty blueprint that Yujin Kang had handed to her.

“Ha, but it’s a constellation? It’s the source…?”

To the question raised again, he answered by simply handing over the thesis.

Lana’s expression became grotesque as she looked at the thesis that summarized the reproduction of the source.

It was truly unconventional for her, who had not been able to read the thesis because of her recent busy schedule.

“but···.”

Estelle expressed concern with a worried face.

“This is a theory I just finished, can I apply it to design?”

“Who do you think I am?”

He turned his head slightly and looked down at Estelle.

“I am the professor who captured the two corps commanders and raised the third-class rank within a year by advocating the theory of control over the mind and reappearance of the source.”

“···ah.”

He said that with a pathetic face, saying he was worried about everything.

“You underestimate your teacher too much, Estelle.”

“·······.”

Blink.

Estelle turned into rabbit eyes and looked at Yujin Kang.

A declaration full of confidence.

A solid voice emanating from certain abilities.

In all of that, the goodwill of his self-proclaimed ‘teacher’ was imbued.

Estelle literally just stared at him with a blank face.

“I’m going to the workshop. Lana, follow me.”

“Yeah~”

When I was staring at his disappearing back as if possessed, Lana, who was trying to follow me, looked back and approached me with a deliberately sinister smile.

“I’m going to drip honey from my eyes, young lady.”

“·······.”

“He’s a great professor, isn’t he?”

As a woman, Lana noticed at once how this young lady looked at Yujin Kang.

Respect and awe… and a feeling that was fresher than that.

Lana stared at Estelle like she was cute.

“Lana. What are you doing when you’re not coming?”

“I’ll go!”

Even Lana disappeared into the workshop, and only then did silence settle in the shop.

In the quiet place, Estelle alone pondered over her appearance.

Yujin Kang. who became her mentor.

A person who does not refuse no matter how difficult a problem is and always helps and solves it as if it were natural.

It was a very unfamiliar experience for Estelle, who always had to go through everything on her own, and the emotions she expressed there were also quite unfamiliar.

“ah···.”

He raised his hand over his chest.

My heart was pounding with a pleasant beat.

It’s the first time I’ve felt it, but Estelle’s heartbeat was so warm and good.

“me···.”

The moment I tried to express the emotions I had harbored.

– Estelle.

Singularity spoke.

“···why.”

It’s like a guy who doesn’t even know the atmosphere.

Estelle, who had lost her colic and immediately sulked, replied in a voice full of displeasure.

-I have a story to tell.

He said he would change places for a while.

*

Estelle left the store for a while and headed to a park where there were few people.

After confirming that there were no people around, a singularity appeared with a light.

-sorry. I did it because it was important.

He appeared in the form of a small light.

Of course, that figure was visible only to Estelle, but he desperately wanted to move.

It was because of the judgment that Kang Yu-jin might feel the existence even if others did not know.

“What are you talking about?”

Estelle’s voice, of course, was not at all favourable.

It’s because all the pleasant and dreamy feelings have been broken because of this.

That’s why his voice came out naturally, but he didn’t care much about the singularity.

-Recently, I saw a study on ‘Artificial Constellation’ and ‘Reproduction of Origin’ by Yujin Kang.

“…Did you spy on me?”

-sorry. It was such an important thing.

Those words made her feel worse, but Estelle listened in silence.

Singularity had never been so serious.

-The theory he created is dangerous. Yujin Kang is trying to create a power that goes against the law.

He warned with sincerity.

-Even though Yujin Kang is not a Constellation, she is connected to me. I felt it this time. I don’t know how that is possible, but he is unknowingly consuming the knowledge of the beginning.

“So? Rather, I think it’s a good thing.”

primordial knowledge.

I don’t know what it was, but it didn’t feel too bad.

Rather, if it was in the hands of someone like Kang Yu-jin, wouldn’t it be good because it could be used for good?

Estelle sincerely thought so, but denied the singularity.

– Rules must be followed.

“Whose rule is it?”

-me.

he solemnly declared.

– Originating from the beginning, having mastered the providence of the entire universe… it’s a rule I defined.

“·······.”

-You have to dry him. Estelle.

The Singularity’s words were quite arrogant, but considering his power, he didn’t say anything outrageous.

Rather, most beings would have followed and not tried to go against his words.

Because he was a supreme being who gave people ‘trials’ and made them ‘constellations’.

However, Estelle was not.

She looked at the singularity with a sad face, then simply shook her head.

“no.”

-·······.

“I don’t want to disturb the professor.”

Singularity was seldom at a loss for words in its firm refusal.

And the voice that followed was a faintly angry voice.

-···Don’t forget that I am the one in charge of your exam.

“It’s a cheap threat.”

A violent current flows between the two.

At the moment when tension set in and the magical power of the area froze, Estelle remembered Kang Yu-jin, whom she had seen today.

The way he looked like he could solve any problem.

“Then. It’s okay for me not to become a Constellation.”

It was a lifelong dream, but I didn’t want to disturb and hurt him.

And, even if it wasn’t a Constellation, there was a way to become as great as a Constellation.

Kang Yoo-jin, no one else, told me that.

“No matter what you say, my meaning won’t change.”

-·······.

“then.”

Estelle turned coldly and went back to Blue Rose.

Once again, in the silence of the park, the Singularity chewed the silence alone.

Dimensional Pandemonium.

In the darkness of the Black Sky Corridor, a huge snake rose up.

“I’m afraid to see His Majesty the Emperor.”

With a deep sigh, his yellow eyes examined his body.

The burned and torn scales and body suddenly regained their original appearance.

The luster of her scales, the strength of her tough skin, everything went back to normal.

It was a body that was finally restored after half a year of recovery.

“It was a failure to go alone. It’s a battle that should have been at least two.”

said the spider right beside him.

Arachne hid the gigantic body in darkness and said with four pairs of eyes shining.

“It would have been convenient if Balthazar had been there.”

“Don’t talk about that idiot.”

“But is it true?”

Shadow King Balthazar.

If he had been the lord of the ghosts, the battle in Avantrat wouldn’t have been so one-sided.

Even if he had seen through Ouroboros’ surprise attack and Arachne’s ambush, Kang Yu-jin would not have been able to deal with both corps commanders at the same time.

“Wouldn’t it have been a bit hasty to get rid of Balthazar?”

“Are you doubting His Majesty’s judgment?”

“It’s not like that.”

Arachne took a step back in front of Ouroboros, who fired ferociously.

Even Arachne was capricious, the emperor’s orders were absolute.

“It’s just. It’s a pity. Baltazar would have followed the order to self-destruct.”

Balthazar was the most obedient commander of the legion following the emperor’s orders.

Even if the order was to commit suicide, he silently followed it.

Arachne was also unaware of this, so she could not understand the emperor’s motives for removing Balthazar in an inconvenient way.

“Well. Even the two of us would be enough.”

“Yes. That’s enough.”

Kang Yoo-jin’s immortality is threatening.

It was not enough to revive Diablo, so the power that was strengthened through the sympathetic nervous system was obviously difficult even for a military commander.

Still, humans are just humans.

Since he exposed his hand like that, the only thing he had to do was not let him do it next time.

“Then, are you done with your work?”

“of course.”

The reason why there was no Arachne in Abanrat.

It was because she had a separate mission.

There were people to meet while the eyes of the central dimension were focused on Avantrat.

“Your Majesty now wants to end this war. No more play is needed.”

“Is it already time to go to ‘next’?”

“Perhaps. It means that there is nothing more to see in this world.”

The emperor, who had been silent, ordered the march.

To ignite the embers of a war that had stopped, and now move toward an end.

Even though he couldn’t understand his true intentions, the corps commander obeyed his will.

Because they were there for the emperor’s war.

“The end is near. The day His Majesty comes to the battlefield, everything will end.”

All for the defeat of His Majesty the Emperor.

The snake and the spider raised their heads and looked at the other side of the black sky – the human world that was about to burn.
