War we don’t know (6)

“Those dragons, please leave them to me.”

After resolutely handing over the request, Yujin Kang’s dark gaze turned to Cynthia.

scary.

Even though we were just facing each other, my diaphragm jumped wide and hiccups came out.

Yujin Kang’s ferocious gaze was so famous that no one in school could stand it for more than 10 seconds.

“I want you to leave it to me.”

“Yes, yes…”

She wanted to avoid her gaze right now, but Cynthia finally met Kang Yoo-jin’s eyes.

Cynthia, who had heard about the base station’s performance as his teaching assistant, was also aware of the weaknesses of this technology.

Amplification of the sympathetic nervous system is certainly a great technique, but in order to create an ‘orbital circle’, a Constellation-level presence is required, and the preparation process is quite time consuming.

Currently, it takes about 10 minutes even if it is reduced as much as possible.

In the meantime, if the monsters come in, there are only two options.

‘Stop it with mind control, or kill them all.’

However, Yujin Kang will choose the latter.

Stopping tens of thousands of monsters with mental control is extremely costly, but the benefits to be gained from it are not great.

There is no reason not to kill the monsters, whose numbers quickly increase even if left alone, even while shouldering the burden of risk.

Above all, Kang Yoo-jin herself hates witches.

‘If we leave it as it is… the professor will kill the Balaur until the spell is completed.’

It’s not that his methods are wrong.

No, that would be the best way.

In any case, that would be the way Yujin Kang maximizes his motto, ‘efficiency’.

‘Is that okay?’

Cynthia made a promise to the girl who was sleeping inside.

One day, I promise to get her out.

In order to do that, you must first master how to deal with your mind and ego.

And, in the future, we have to erase the current prejudice against demons and even witches.

In order to do that, you will need excellent communication skills to connect the two races.

That is, the ability to communicate that can prevent even the current situation.

“I will… stop the dragons.”

“·······.”

“I should be able to convince you.”

Yujin Kang’s gaze narrows.

“Is that a way to ensure success?”

“Nope···.”

I can’t guarantee success.

However, she did not back down.

“I’ll be sure to do it.”

“·······.”

The stinging gaze is so frightening that you want to step back right away.

If it was the usual Cynthia, she would have bowed her head and withdrew without a word.

But not now.

I braced my trembling body and faced Yujin Kang.

“good night.”

And, he raised Cynthia’s hand.

“If you fail instead, you get 50 penalty points.”

“Yes… Heck.”

50 penalty points…

At Helios, more than 51 penalty points were expulsion, so it was practically the same as saying that they would give the biggest punishment other than expulsion.

Obviously, it would mean to feel the responsibility and weight of actual combat.

‘Still, he allowed it.’

There was a performance that endured without avoiding it.

Leaving behind everyone’s worried gazes, Cynthia moved towards the swarming army of monsters.

ugh-

Magical power rises with the soft light.

The structure of the magic formula was delicately put together, and the power of mental control was aroused.

Cold sweat ran down Cynthia’s cheeks as she tried to respond to the Balaur’s consciousness.

‘Calmly…’

The mental control that Cynthia has learned is still only part of the first stage ‘search’ and the second stage ‘disruption’.

It’s a skill with such a high degree of difficulty, it’s actually amazing to learn the second step.

In fact, there are many children who haven’t even finished the 1st stage in school yet.

‘But, that’s not enough…’

What is most needed in the current situation is empathy and sympathy.

Search and disturbance could help to some extent, but Cynthia wanted another power.

It is the power of the sympathetic nervous system, a special lecture I took during winter vacation.

‘I can’t completely write… but…’

Yujin Kang did not disclose the ‘principle’ of the sympathetic nervous system.

Because this power that connects consciousness into a network is so powerful and dangerous that it can be abused in countless ways.

And even if it was revealed, it was not a skill that Cynthia could use.

During the special lecture, Kang Yoo-jin showed some of the techniques of the sympathetic nervous system, but Cynthia did not understand even a part of them.

‘So… I’m going to apply it.’

Cynthia can’t create a sympathetic nervous system, but she can access one she already has.

And if you can access it, ‘conversation’ will also be possible.

“Ah…”

sympathetic nervous system of dragons.

My whole body screamed as I tried to squeeze into the flow full of demonic energy.

My heart was beating like it would explode, and the rotation of the circle drew an off-beat.

He clasped his hands together as if in prayer.

Nosebleeds flowed from his nose as if a blood vessel had burst, but he didn’t even think to wipe it.

‘you can do it!’

Cynthia has always excelled at mana control.

He was fluent in the masu language and had a talent for communication because he had such a talent.

Then, surely, it would be possible to squeeze into the frequency of the sympathetic nervous system of the Balaur.

“Ugh…!”

I can do it… I can do it…!

After barely succeeding in infiltrating the frequency gap, the consciousness of countless dragons rushed in like a wave.

endure

He gritted it and endured it.

I tried to respond to the rituals of the monsters one by one while trying to calm down my mind.

However, unlike the sympathetic nervous system created by Yujin Kang, this is a network created solely to rule the dragons.

It was made for ‘command’ rather than ‘communion’, and it was fixed as a demon whose owner was unknown, so there was a problem in approaching it with the method Cynthia knew.

‘What should I do?’

The consumption of mana is extreme, and because of the demon, the burden on the body is enormous.

At this rate, Cynthia’s ego could be blown away by Magi, let alone sympathy.

As I was grunting and wandering, there was a voice that penetrated my confused mind.

‘Refine your consciousness.’

A low-pitched voice with an unwavering resonance.

It was Yujin Kang’s voice.

‘Find a bandwidth that the other party can hear. I would have been the first to teach you how to control frequencies with magical power.’

‘·······.’

‘Remember.’

Cynthia closed her eyes.

Following the calm voice and concentrating on the flow of magical power, the tension that shredded his entire body seemed to fade at the same time.

Stay calm.

It adjusts the frequency of mana according to his voice.

It is impossible for Cynthia to change the structure of the network, so Cynthia herself adjusts to that structure.

The basis of communication is to follow the great principle of consideration.

‘Don’t try to convey each one. Make your voice echo and spread.’

It controls the magical power and coordinates the flow.

Find the frequency of the ‘masu language’ that encompasses the entire Balaur.

In the past, it uttered a magical language with a powerful wave as if it were shouting at the network.

So that this voice can spread to the whole, not one by one.

Yujin Kang’s guidance was detailed and accurate, and her strong voice that calmed her tense mind calmed Cynthia’s heart.

Just like that, her voice resonated in a muffled way throughout the sympathetic nervous system.

─Please stop.

A voice of request, not as a plea or order, but as an equal.

Cynthia’s earnest voice echoed successfully along the sympathetic nervous system and spread far and wide.

‘yes. That’s how you do it.’

The witches respond one by one.

Hearing her words, I stopped and started to stop my running legs.

Cynthia’s voice reached them.

‘I did it…’

With the thrill of having accomplished it, my heart filled up and my throat choked.

‘thank you···.’

Although he seemed cold, he did not turn away from Cynthia in a desperate moment.

I figured out what she was trying to do and gave me the advice I needed.

He could have done it himself, but he didn’t.

Because all this process could lead to her growth.

“···ah.”

When she opened her eyes like that, in front of Cynthia’s eyes, there were countless magical beasts that stopped right in front of her nose.

Even though the sympathetic nervous system hasn’t been replaced yet, they stopped at Cynthia’s words.

Accessing the sympathetic nervous system of the owner and eliciting their response.

It was impossible even for Karina or Regera.

And Cynthia did it.

A ‘request’ given from an equal position, not an order from a ruler, proves that it is possible to communicate without taking control of the network.

This was, without a doubt, the first ‘diplomacy’ between humans and monsters.

“Wow! Shinny is great!”

“Oh, good job.”

“Little lady! I believed!”

Along with the cheers heard here and there, it was felt that the sympathetic nervous system that covered the Balaur was being washed away.

Karina’s orbital circle was completed, and the base station began to overlay the new sympathetic nervous system.

“I… did it…”

The first diplomat to succeed humans and demons shed tears of emotion.

*

a few hours later.

Yujin Kang’s amplified sympathetic nervous system was successfully overlaid on the nervous system of the dragons, and the dragons became docile sheep and obediently obeyed their commands.

It was the same for the lower and middle class, as well as the upper middle and upper class.

It was because, in the first place, there was no reason why the lower ranks would not follow the words of Karina and Regera, who were the top class.

However, there was one variable in the process, and that was that the Witchbeasts prioritized Cynthia’s words rather than Carina’s or Legera’s commands.

They were always in a position to ‘receive’ orders, and they had a great liking for Cynthia, who spoke to them kindly with ‘requests’ and ‘suggestions’.

If they were forced to order, they would listen to Karina and Rezzera, but other than that, the Balaur had strong feelings for Cynthia.

“My little brother is popular~ I don’t know if it’s okay to be like this…”

“If you think about it, this child is also the lineage of Leviathan.

“Well, it is.”

In the end, Cynthia was placed in the position of ‘lord’ like Diablo before, but the two did not feel offended in the slightest.

That’s also true, because he was the only person who didn’t tremble even when he faced Kang Yu-jin here.

“Since he is a student of that professor, Cynthia is the right person. Yes. It’s okay.”

“…That’s right. Unlike us, that child will be able to talk relatively equally with Yujin Kang…”

Watching them shudder as if they were disgusted, Ensia, who was quietly chewing on snacks, shook her head excitedly.

That’s how they looked at Cynthia, who was talking with Yujin Kang from a distance.

Cynthia was in the middle of expressing her gratitude to Yujin Kang for what had happened this time.

“…Thank you. For trusting me and entrusting me.”

“You made it. You don’t have to thank me.”

Yujin Kang dismissed Cynthia’s gratitude as such.

“still···.”

“I made a condition, and you fulfilled it.

“···Yeah.”

Yujin Kang’s voice was still gruff, but Cynthia was no longer afraid of his voice.

Rather, even that bluntness felt warm.

Even though he set a condition, he didn’t turn away from Cynthia in a desperate moment.

Cynthia was so grateful for that consideration and help.

“At that time, thank you very much for helping me…”

Aligning the frequency of mana.

Not just conveying words one by one, but spreading them through echoes.

And, the one that calmed my trembling heart.

Thanks to all of that, Cynthia was able to successfully communicate.

“Well.”

Sincere thanks.

Facing that, Yujin Kang simply replied.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

I was just pretending not to know.

That is the success of Cynthia’s disciple.

He just said he didn’t do anything.

Thank you so much for that, thank you.

Cynthia smiled brightly.

Because that was the biggest thank you Cynthia could give him.

“thank you···.”
