Hunt (1)

Monday afternoon with a bright new week.

Classrooms on the middle floor of the Capella Hall are busy with students filling their seats.

“Sini~! Hurry up!”

“sorry···!”

Cynthia entered the lecture hall.

Over the weekend, I overslept because I was struggling with homework.

Arriving just in time for the lecture, Ensia patted the seat next to her.

“late.”

“Sorry···!”

Estelle’s glare was fierce.

After hurriedly taking out his major books and notebooks, Yujin Kang appeared exactly at 1:00.

He hurried up to the podium, clenching his boot heels, in the same manner as a hunter as usual.

“Everyone, has there been any progress on the assignment?”

Short sighs are heard here and there at the question thrown into the air.

Most of them didn’t seem to have much success.

“Even if you don’t have one, there’s no need to fret. If you follow the class well, you’ll be able to complete it within the deadline.”

A unique way of speaking that is realistic but refrains from negative sentences.

He lightly eased the atmosphere, and took out a ping-pong ball-sized mixed steel crystal from his bag.

“First place in the previous practice. Estelle, Cynthia, and Encia.”

“Yeah.”

“Yeah···!”

“yes!”

“It was an exemplary grade. I’m tired of shops, so take it.”

He gave the crystal he was holding to the three of them.

“Use it meaningfully.”

Horn River is rich in magical power, so it is considered a high-quality material for making magical catalysts and artifacts.

Looking at the color, the quality is all top-notch. The eyes of the three people who received the Hon River shimmered and shone.

Eyes of envy and regret crossed each other, and Yujin Kang immediately resumed classes.

“Until now, you have learned about demonic language, magic tracking, and enticing demonic beasts. If you have followed without lagging behind, it is safe to say that you have learned all the basics of anti-magic science.”

Communicate, track, attract.

Now that they have taught them all the basic 3 elements of hunting, they can start hunting low-level monsters right away.

“Now that we’ve covered all the basics, we’re going to start a full-fledged class on Mathematics.”

Everyone raised their heads.

serious class. It pointed to only one thing.

“Starting today, you will learn about ‘mind control’.”

On the first day of the lecture, Yujin Kang showed overwhelming mental abilities.

At the words of learning it, the eyes of the students stood out.

He pushed the wall to reveal a blackboard, and wrote some formulas on it.

And I wrote an additional integration formula that put it together, and wrote the word ‘search’ next to it.

“This formula is the magic formula for ‘Search’, the first stage of mind control.”

The stage of reading the enemy’s surface consciousness and reading intentions and intentions.

It is a simple but powerful force.

“Surface consciousness, unlike deep psychology, is relatively simple to read. Everyone look at the first line of the formula.”

The interpretation of formulas, the conversion of runes, and the explanation of the meaning and effect of each number were followed.

Consciousness information tends to float in the mind along with magical power, and it is possible to read the information corresponding to the surface by trying to interfere by matching the magical pattern to it.

Since both humans and demon beasts’ ‘behavior’ and ‘will’ remain on the surface of consciousness, it is possible to scrape that information ‘like a rake’ using the interfering magic power.

This is the basic principle of the search phase.

It cannot damage the enemy, but it is a power that gives it a strategic advantage.

“Until… is the expression process of the formula. I’ll show you an example from now on.”

Yujin Kang deployed her magic.

The target was Cynthia, who was right in front of her.

While she was startled and stiff, he gave magic power ‘visualization’ to make it possible to see the flow with the naked eye.

“This is the flow of magic that interferes with consciousness. The pattern is as simple as scratching the surface, but only the surface of the consciousness hovers.”

The magic that swirled around Cynthia gently brushed the surface of her consciousness.

“Cynthia. I just tried to write down the contents at the bottom of the right page of the notebook.”

“Yes, four!”

“As you can see, the effect of search is this. Sometimes there are idiots who mistake intent reading for being able to read ‘thoughts’, but I don’t believe you guys do.”

The difference between intention and thought is different.

You know ‘what’ you’re doing, but you don’t know ‘why’ you’re doing it.

While everyone was enthusiastically taking notes, Kang Yoo-jin’s gaze scanned them.

His lessons always have a purpose.

It is correct to teach step by step, but carefully adjust the pace according to the necessary time.

The second major lecture that took place today.

The reason why he taught the theory part of search with the content was because, in his judgment, this level of urgency was ‘necessary’.

Even in the flow of the river.

Even in the progress of the task.

Also, to cope with the school’s abnormality.

“I’ll do the practice in the next class. However, if you wake up before that, it will be of great help, so don’t stop if you’re thinking of taking on a challenge.”

180 minutes.

The three-hour lecture has already passed.

He finished the lecture and reminded him of the assignment for the last time.

Use Search for Magi Tracking.

It really couldn’t have been blatant advice.

The major class of Mathematics has begun.

It was news that hit the Helios student community.

The community ‘Helix’, which can be accessed through a wristwatch, was buzzing with stories about the major class of the current Grand Mathematics.

-trot. Great Mathematics This time, the process of taking over the mind begins.

– The content of the class was no joke. It was a godsend that he majored in anti-mathematics.

– Why has this professor not had any achievements until now? Did you train in the closed hall?

-Kang Yujin Is he a rookie?

Most of them are praised and praised.

As a result, there were even people who failed to major in anti-mathematics and tried to buy even handwritten copies with money.

– I live for 50 shillings of my handwritten notes from the lectures on Mathematics. 100 shillings if you have a mind control part.

-2222

-333333

-Shin, is he Yujin Kang?

“stupid guys.”

Estelle looked at Helix and snorted.

You can’t understand this just by looking at the notes.

Yujin Kang’s lectures are knowledge built on the basis of his personal experience.

A feat that led to victory on the battlefield.

You can never understand the living experience that comes from a career that has been attached to the black grade unless you hear it yourself.

Crunchy square-

“… Magpie, what are you doing?”

“They say it’s 100 shillings for a piece of writing.”

Ensia smiled as she held up the notebook she had copied from her handwriting.

“It’s the so-called creative economy. Money is copied!”

“·······.”

“Professor is a god, and Mathematics is invincible!”

After that, I already start copying the third note.

Is that really the daughter of Vega who is comparable to Altair?

Estelle felt a pull in her back for a moment.

“Baepsae. You-“

Then, after looking at Cynthia, he hesitated once again.

She was staring blankly into space with unfocused eyes.

“The professor has entered my head…”

“·······.”

“What can I do… I don’t know…”

Cynthia was mesmerized by Kang Yu-jin’s demonstration of mind control.

Even so, all I read was the surface consciousness.

The expression on his face is as if he has been caught in a diary with embarrassing contents.

“ha···.”

How did I become a team with these pathetic people?

Estelle let out a sigh that came from deep within her chest.

He shook his head and grabbed the pen.

It is up to Estelle, who has the most competence, to organize and finish complex formulas.

In order for that pathetic person to get an A+ with the two of them, he had no choice but to carry.

“By the way, isn’t our professor a bit unusual?”

Suddenly, Ensia was out of luck.

“Usually professors don’t want to share the core of their knowledge or skills, but our professors don’t.”

weird isn’t it right?

It’s pretty profound for what you say while copying notes.

Yujin Kang has no hesitation in teaching her know-how.

The feeling of giving generously rather than hiding it.

Although the level of difficulty is considerable, he is obviously giving people the experience he has built up with his own blood and sweat without paying anything in return.

Rather, he considers and guides students to follow as much as possible.

Usually, it is common to inform a small number of talented students.

“I think I know somehow.”

Cynthia, who was dazed, suddenly opened her mouth.

“I heard from the professor. As long as I can kill the Witchbeast, I don’t care about anything else…”

Those words I heard from Yujin Kang one day.

Cynthia still remembered the words she said in a somewhat lonely voice.

“If only I could kill the demon…”

Moving the pen, Estelle repeated the words.

For some reason, I felt like I knew why.

It is only to end this war.

It has no value other than exterminating all demons.

Even if it is the only achievement he has built with his own blood and sweat.

“·······.”

What the hell happened…why does he hate the Witchbeast so much?

Estelle became a little curious about Kang Yu-jin’s past.

“Ah. That’s it.”

As I was refining the formula in a trance, the structure was completed before I knew it.

The Magi Tracking Formula, which added the mind control of the ‘exploration’ stage learned today, was densely filling the paper in the form of countless numbers and symbols.

ugh-

“Oh, it works!”

“Wow… Estelle is amazing…”

“huh.”

The magic structure weaved through formulas slowly began to manifest.

Estelle was in charge of the skeleton skillfully, Cynthia was in charge of the detailed structure, and Encia was in charge of the clean finish.

Eventually, the completed tracking magic reacted perfectly to Magi, which was an example material.

“Yahoo! Got it!”

“Haaah it’s finally over…”

Encia and Cynthia stretched out on the desk.

I did almost 80%, but why are they more upset?

As soon as Estelle pouted and tried to fold the paper with the formula written on it, the magic they created reacted once more.

ugh-

“Huh? There’s one more reaction point here?”

A spot on Helios was highlighted with a red dot.

The place is probably underground. It also looked like an old fixture warehouse.

This place is not used, so no one will come and go anymore.

Ensia, who was looking in there, clapped her hand.

“Isn’t this, if you find it first, you’ll get a bonus point?”

“Addition… points?”

“Doesn’t that professor seem like that for some reason?”

Encia’s reasoning sounded plausible to me.

Cynthia blinked, and Estelle was also contemplating with her chin on her chin.

“Let’s go!”

Encia’s instigation was soon accepted.

Yujin Kang’s office.

In front of the tightly closed door, Skadi was stamping her feet.

“What can I do…”

How did you come here?

Today, she was going to go to Earth through the warp gate in Rhodes.

Since Kang Yu-jin’s records could not be found in Helios, they decided to go to his hometown as planned before.

But what is this?

What greeted Skadi, who came to Earth, was the sad news of ‘blocking the dimensional journey’.

‘This dimension is currently blocked from access from outside…’

The guide’s voice expressed disapproval.

Even the person who blocked it was ‘the most holy sky’.

In the end, she returned to school, and ended up here after all failed attempts.

“Last resort…”

That is, to ask Yujin Kang herself.

I don’t know how Helios got rid of all the information, but he probably couldn’t even touch Yujin Kang’s own head.

She predicted that Yujin Kang’s memory was the only place where Helios’ witchcraft did not extend.

“Eh! I don’t know!”

I was beaten while thinking about it.

When did I notice when I entered here?

Skadi clenched her fists and threw open the door to her office.

“Can I come in?”

What greeted Skadi was an empty office without the owner.

Where did that bird go? There were only a few sheets of blueprints lying on the empty desk.

Skadi kicked the floor at the fact that she had such troubles in front of an empty office.

“Whoa… Where else did this person go?”

Should I wait until it comes like this? I have nothing to do anyway.

She sighed and walked to the sofa, which had now become her exclusive seat.

No, I was trying to move.

Until I saw the drawing on the desk.

“Huh? Helios Rescue?”

It was a detailed map that marked not only the structure of Helios Academy, but also the location of the spirit veins that flowed through the dimensional intersections.

It is information that cannot be read with moderate authority, and even if you read it, it only looks like a blank page.

She didn’t know why something like that was in Kang Yu-jin’s office.

“This···.”

And, there are ‘X’ marks all over the drawing.

Creepy markings that feel similar to a terrorist plot.

I didn’t think that a person like Kang Yu-jin had left it here by mistake.

That is…

“Who let you see…?”

Why is this?

As she picked up the drawing, her eyes filled with questions.

Somehow I didn’t have a good feeling.

Skadi, who quickly hid the blueprints in Yujin Kang’s drawer, left the office repeating what she had memorized.

For some reason, I felt I had to find Kang Yu-jin quickly.
