The name of an angel (1)

The sun’s diurnal direction declines and the season enters into the full summer season.

The air of Helios is also sweltering with heat.

Summer, when plants and trees grow alive under the blazing sunlight, is definitely the season when everyone embraces the heat.

However, there is a forest where a cold wind blows even in midsummer, when the green scenery is winding in the air mixed with haze.

A place where the world is covered with snow all year round and colored white under a cloudy sky.

The winter forest is right there.

“Ugh~ I’m bored~”

A girl rolls across a field of snow covered with white clothes.

rolling around.

I make gimbap with snow while covering my white fur clothes with snow.

Perhaps it wasn’t cold, the girl lying on her back in her snow-covered clothes shook her face while blinking her big eyes.

“Is it true that everyone is busy except me?”

The girl, Ensia, grumbled with a sullen face.

Estelle was busy training the power of the Constellation, and Cynthia was busy thinking that she would receive private lessons from Yujin Kang.

In the end, only Ensia, who was left alone, was left alone, rolling around in the winter forest.

“The thesis is finished, but there is no one to play with.”

-Do you have any Ensia friends?

-Don’t you have any friends?

“I stab a sore spot out of nowhere~”

The spirits gathered around them chattered and circled around Ensia.

The spirits chattering non-stop for a moment were certainly not boring when they were together, but it was okay to have them as companions.

Since they only talk about what they are interested in, it was difficult for Ansia, a normal person, to get along with that ignorant talking.

“Eh. I should just be alone like before~”

He laments as he lets out a low sigh.

It’s not that I hate walking in the winter forest alone, but it’s more boring than being with Estelle or Cynthia.

However, I shook my head at the thought of meeting someone else, so in the end, all I had to do was spend time alone.

‘It was still fun when the professor came.’

When Kang Yu-jin had just arrived at Helios, he often came here because he liked the pure magical power of the winter forest.

Even though he didn’t talk much, Ensia felt good just being next to him who just sat there in silence.

It must be because of Kang Yoo-jin’s calm and clear energy.

“I hope you come back~”

-who?

-Who?

-Is it us?

-You idiot, we’re here now.

“Egogo…”

I think I’m going to lose my mind at the chattering of the spirits.

Encia decided to just keep her mouth shut.

Kang Yoo-jin is too busy with work these days to come to the winter forest.

Ensia, who has no one to play with, is bored every day.

In the past, I wasn’t the type to cover people up like this.

Lying on the snowy field and looking up at the sky, Ensia muttered blankly.

“I want to see Dad.”

He died a long time ago, and I don’t even remember his face anymore.

When he was alive, Encia, unlike now, had a flat-footed personality that went well with anyone.

Unlike the calm Helena, she was outgoing and liked meeting people, and Encia was definitely influenced by that.

But he is now a dead man.

The war took him away.

“Ew…”

As I was rolling around in the snow, I suddenly thought of Kang Yu-jin.

A person whose face, personality, and way of speaking are all different from his father, but somehow similar in energy.

His father was also famous for having a pure energy, and was one of the angels who excelled in spiritism.

Ensia, who has been with him since childhood, has no choice but to be drawn to Kang Yu-jin, who has a similar energy.

A person who is emotionless and blunt, but who is silently kind and indifferently considerate.

Ensia liked Yujin Kang.

I think of my dad

“I want to see Professor.”

The winter forest, where fleeting voices become white breath, shatters.

Ensia was buried in the snow that covered her body and fell into a shallow hibernation in midsummer.

Helios in summer is peaceful.

The fire of war still reverberates in the distance, and battles big and small come and go, but Helios, the place of learning, escapes from the war and is as quiet as a different world…

Of course, there is no reason for me to go to the battlefield.

As for me who was a hunter on the old Earth, I am now a professor of Helios, a person whose duty is education and research, not war.

“Is that why you’re fooling around?”

“I’m not playing.”

As I tried to sit still in the chair, Adeline scolded me.

The guy who went to Abanrat to teach people came back to my office for the summer vacation season.

Maybe it’s because I heard the professor’s voice while lecturing, but these days, this guy’s nose isn’t high enough, and he’s ascending very high.

I blew a balm on the cheeky guy’s forehead.

Just-!

“Evil! Why do you hit me!”

“You’ve been very cheeky lately.”

“Hit someone like that!”

“Stop screaming and go look at Cynthia.”

“Violence teacher…”

The babbling guy quickly ran to where Cynthia was when I bent my finger once more.

Cynthia has been staying in the lab for private lessons on mental control for a few days, but she’s been struggling with the difficulty level rapidly increasing from the second stage.

I taught you the basic theory until yesterday, and now I’m trying it out on my own.

However, progress was slow, so I sent Adeline, who was in a similar situation.

“Cynthia. Yujin Kang hit me.”

“Uh, huh…?”

“Go and punish me.”

…but it’s like they’re talking about me.

He shook his head and expressed regret at her pathetic assassination attempt.

As Adeline and Cynthia ate together, and a moment of peace arrived, I checked my condition as usual.

It’s because I haven’t had time to check since the recent growth trend has been remarkable.

‘First circle.’

Originally, my realm was the 7th Circle, but as I went through the Source Awakening this time, the Circle no longer has much meaning.

Originally, the number of circles increased in proportion to the amount of magic power of the user, but since they were able to create their own holy power through the source awakening, their existence became insignificant.

Right now there are 7 rings spinning around, but if I wanted to, I could have increased them to 8 right now, or even 9 if I overdo it a bit.

‘Except for the 10th circle, everything is fine.’

Only the 10 Circles, whose existence was only theoretically confirmed, remained in the realm of impossibility.

To be honest, I’m not sure if that’s actually possible.

‘Is the power of the source… still unstable?’

source of fate.

Originally, it was the source that I would have had if I was destined to become a Constellation, and it was the source that I forcibly awakened and engraved into my heart this time.

Because it was forcibly created and awakened, it is very unstable, and it has been difficult to deal with without the help of Faelan Crystal.

It’s not practical right now, but it’s destructive power is outstanding, and as long as there is a source, there’s no fear that that power will run dry, so at present it’s possible to use it as a trump card.

‘Maybe I can try the 5th step soon.’

The final, fifth stage of mind control.

As the name suggests, ‘conquest’, it is a power that can be said to be the ultimate in mental abilities.

If this becomes possible, beyond summoning the opponent’s entity, it will be possible to take away the opponent’s ‘all’ information to me.

In terms of Diablo, it’s not about commanding him, it’s about being able to ‘directly’ use his power.

It was the power I finally perfected in my late years on Earth, and this is also the power that killed Diablo.

Now that he has almost regained his former power, and has all the magic of time and space and the holy power of the source, it would be essential to reproduce the 5th stage.

In the future, in the fight against the emperor, the ‘conquest’ stage of mental control is essential.

‘Aim to realize the 5th stage as soon as time permits.’

I closed my eyes and saw Cynthia hesitating in front of me.

“What.”

“I-I finished the part you said…”

Cynthia, with a flushed face, spread her magical energy over her shyly outstretched hand.

“Hmm···.”

What I ordered from Cynthia was mind penetration, which is the core of the second stage, the ‘disruption’ stage.

Beyond reading the surface consciousness, sharpening one’s magic power to break through resistance and penetrate into the mind is the main point, but Cynthia was creating sharp awls on her hands as a technique for controlling the mind.

‘Not bad.’

I am currently using visualization as part of my training, but it will not be visible in actual combat.

It is clear in the form of forged magic power, and although it is still shaking a little, the shape is firm.

With a few more improvements, it would be nice to move on to the next step.

“You did well.”

“Go, thank you… hehehe…”

“Here, there are unnecessary extraneous elements in the noise and shape-casting formula. If we make up for that, we can say that this part is complete.”

I pointed out the techniques Cynthia had left out and the parts that were relatively loose in structure, and explained the points to be made up for.

Of course, even that was just a mistake made by beginners, but Cynthia’s technique was good enough.

It was proof that Cynthia’s talent was also excellent enough, although the light usually faded because of Estelle.

Hey, it’s my second seat in the department, so it wouldn’t be strange.

“Fix the energy fluctuation value first. The rest will be possible only after removing the noise.”

“This… like this?”

“Wrong.”

Still, students are students, and I can see stuttering in the details.

I got up from my seat because I was frustrated with the way he kept going around.

“Tsk. I’ll tell you. Stay still.”

Then, he took Cynthia’s hand and held on to the magical power.

her body stiffened.

“Uh… uh…?”

“Concentrate.”

“Yes, yes… Concentrate… Concentrate…”

Holding onto the flustered Cynthia, I concentrated on explaining again.

*

‘how how···.’

Cynthia looked at her hand with a flushed face.

“The variable is less than ±0.07. Adjust the numerical value…”

Cynthia’s small hand fits into Kang Yoo-jin’s hand.

His heart felt like it was going to burst because of the heat he felt through the gloves.

‘Professor… your hand…’

I can’t concentrate.

I’m nodding my head, but nothing has entered my head.

I felt as if all the blood in my body had rushed to my face.

My thoughts are jumbled and my breathing is jagged.

Cynthia couldn’t raise her head because she was ashamed of her change.

‘I must be out of order…’

I’ve always had a crush on him, but it’s gotten worse since I recently had a job at the garrison.

Cynthia lowered her head and shrank, wondering if her throbbing breasts would be noticed.

“Are you listening? If you use the magical energy I pour out to develop a spell…”

—Then, when I raised my head at the voice, I saw Yujin Kang’s face, who quietly continued the explanation.

Wearing a hat and a mask covering the face.

However, black and shining obsidian-like eyes appeared between them.

The eyes filled with honesty and the profound yet solid voice that is conveyed beneath them have the same magical power as violence.

Cynthia stared blankly at his face with eyes wide open.

“So, set the mana value here to -2.8… Hmm?”

Then, at a loss for words, he raised his head in wonder.

Eyes loosened as if bewitched by rosy cheeks.

He snapped his fingers at the sight of something not looking right.

“Cynthia.”

“Ah, ah! Yes, Professor!”

When he calls his name by snapping his fingers, he suddenly comes to his senses.

“Are you okay?”

“Gwa… It’s okay! Yes!”

“Complement what I said. If you don’t understand, I’ll write it down.”

“Ho… Ho, I’ll do it alone…!”

In the end, Cynthia, who could not stand her shame, ran away from the lab with a red face.

*

Looking at Cynthia, who had disappeared, he let out an absurd sigh.

Seriously, kids these days don’t even know.

That alone is tiring, but beside me, Adeline is glaring at me with narrowly raised eyes.

“… bastard.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Maria is also possessed like that.”

I raised my finger at the guy who was talking nonsense with a gruff face.

Adeline, who was startled and withdrew, ran to the door of the lab room.

“It’s a crime to touch a student!”

“Stop talking nonsense, go see Cynthia if you have time.”

“Ugh… Stupid! Sea squirt sea anemone!”

Then run away in the same way.

Why are there so many people around me who make me so tired?

As I was about to sit down with my aching head on, the alarm rang on my watch.

Tring-!

When I opened the screen, there was a message from Claire.

“It’s a strange thing to be a gentleman over the phone.”

Are you going out for a drink again?

When I opened the screen with the thought of roughly rejecting it, something completely different from what I thought came to mind, and I hardened my expression.

[Polar Night Prison, Balthazar’s seal is rapidly loosening]

[Professor Yujin Kang, request immediate dispatch]

That was the news that Balthazar was about to wake up.
