Exam preparation(1)

The warm breeze of spring has passed, and summer has arrived in Helios.

A season of excitement and travel. It’s the season when vacation is near, so it’s a time to get excited more than ever.

But before that, students must overcome the wall of ‘final exams’.

Now that the last exam of the first semester is near, the subject of the final exam is a hot potato in Helios.

“Trait control science is the subject of theory!”

“Does anyone know of a pure magic theory topic?”

“Professor Skadi is on a business trip. Oops!”

Numerous subjects go up and down and all kinds of rumors fly around, but the most controversial among them was the final topic of ‘Great Mathematics’.

This is because, compared to other subjects whose subject matter was standardized to some extent, Kang Yu-jin’s Great Mathematics could not figure out the subject at all.

“Are you going to do it like the last time, tracking the beast?”

“I think you’re going to take it for mind control?”

“Maybe a mix of both.”

Kang Yoo-jin simply said, ‘You just have to do what you have learned’.

It was not unreasonable that predictions and speculations were rampant because the contents were vague.

And it was no different even if it was the first team in anti-mathematics.

“Sure! The final topic is the sympathetic nervous system!”

Ensia clenched her fists and shouted.

“Is that so…?”

“The professor said it. There is a clue to the end of the term in the sympathetic nervous system!”

Kang Yoo-jin actually said it, so it was quite credible.

The problem is, you never know what part of the sympathetic nervous system might come up as a subject.

Whether it was infiltration or tracking, there were so many things that could be the subject of the term.

Cynthia, who had been listening intently by the side, cautiously turned her gaze to the side.

Estelle was there, casting her gaze into the air.

“Estel, do you have any expectations…?”

“·······.”

“Estel?”

“···yes.”

Estelle’s reaction was very slow.

It’s a look that’s clearly different from the usual glaring at anything.

These days, Estelle has been in this state all along.

“What were you talking about?”

“I wonder what the final exam topic will be…”

“Ah that…”

After moxibustion, hit the bruise again.

While Cynthia made a puzzled face, Encia poked her chin and opened her mouth meaningfully.

“It must have been hit hard by something.”

“Get hit…?”

“This is exactly what I was like when I learned the secret of the Winter Forest.”

It is a so-called virtue accident.

And it was not difficult to find out what it was.

Because Estelle always wanted Professor Jinseong.

“He won’t even send a message about anything anymore. Have you ever seen the professor’s smiling face?”

“yes.”

“Ah, that was it… Huh?”

“I saw you laughing.”

Ensia’s body suddenly stiffened.

Cynthia, who was listening at the same time, was the same.

At that time, Kang Yoo-jin’s fantasy world collapsed.

In the collapsing fantasy world, the children who were far away could not see because they were buried in the light, but they saw Estelle who was in front.

Kang Yoo-jin took off her hat and mask and smiled softly.

The smile he had seen along with words of encouragement was firmly embedded in Estelle’s mind and did not disappear.

“Professor’s… smiling face?”

“Ah! Why did you only see it! Ah!”

Next to Ensia, who was tearing her hair out, Cynthia was lost in thought.

Cynthia had seen Kang Yoo-jin’s face before.

The beautiful face I saw in the central hall at sunset.

If there is a smile on it…

“Wow…”

“Now he’s gone, too. Guys, isn’t it a little shameful to see only you guys?”

The two made no reply.

Encia fell into despair when she realized that she was the only one who hadn’t seen Kang Yoo-jin’s bare face.

“If the world is ruined…”

Estelle, dazed for a while, opened her mouth.

“Final exams. The sympathetic nervous system test is correct.”

“Did the professor tell you that too…?”

“No. Even an idiot can tell.”

Ensia, who had suddenly become a person less than an idiot, opened her eyes.

“I’m not stupid!”

“I’ve never heard of you.”

“·······.”

“Anyway, the final exam will deal with sympathetic nervous system penetration in general. Perhaps against a real beast.”

“Eh···?”

A real witch’s sympathetic nervous system.

To do that, there must be a ‘command object’ witch, which is the main axis of the network.

However, the command object has at least a ‘high-intermediate’ rating.

It was absurd to release a monster that was difficult even for professors to catch in the exam.

“Anyway. That’s what I expected.”

“…You seem to have some confidence.”

“It’s a hunter’s intuition.”

Estelle fluttered the hem of her coat and answered elegantly.

“Ah yes···.”

Encia, who answered with rotten eyes, cried for a while, their wristwatches suddenly vibrated violently.

ugh-

“what.”

“It’s a disaster letter.”

Disaster text message sent whenever an emergency occurs on the front line.

Its content was about the generation of powerful demonic waves at the forefront.

“It comes often these days.”

“Yeah… Hunters, are you okay…”

The frontline is still a fierce battleground where mankind and demon beasts are fighting each other.

As such, large and small battles do not cease, but recently, battles accompanied by such disaster texts have become more frequent.

“Isn’t it possible that a strong demonic beast appeared?”

“I’m scared···.”

Even the girls, who normally had normal school days, feel acutely aware that they are in a war when they receive such a disaster text message.

While Ensia calmed the frightened Cynthia, Estelle looked up at the other side of the sky.

Others did not feel it, but Estelle could clearly see the black waves spreading from the other side of the world.

“·······.”

She looked at the spreading shimmer for a long time with a strange feeling.

Even in the scorching heat of summer, the winter forest keeps the cold.

While accepting the cold and pure magic of the winter forest, on the other hand, I continued to think about preparing for the final.

The topic has already been thought out.

Penetration of the demon’s sympathetic nervous system. I plan to use that as the final topic for this term, but I plan to mix my own arrangement here.

It requires quickness and creativity, but if you review what you have learned before, you can solve it enough.

I wrote all the test plans and submitted them, but there was still one thing missing.

Right away, it is a preparation to be used in the test stage.

‘Laniakea.’

I raised the power of mind control while sitting upright in the winter forest.

Stage 3, the power of erosion.

It is usually used to destroy the mind or connect the mind of an ally through illusion and distortion, but I added a little arrangement here.

The target is myself.

To be precise, it is the holy power of Laniakea that lurks in my heart.

I plan to talk to her across the street by accessing her holy power.

“Did you call. My apostle.”

Before long, Laniakea appeared above the snowy field.

Of course, I didn’t really come here, it’s just what I can see.

She walked in front of me without footprints and stood in front of me.

“I didn’t know you could talk to me without the power of the altar.”

“Because there is a medium called holy power.”

“Whoops. Is that so? That’s amazing, my apostle.”

She seemed to be in a good mood, and her wings fluttered slightly with a laugh.

“Why did you call me?”

“I want to go to the battlefield for a while.”

The darkness inside the hood stared blankly at me.

“You need something.”

“Yes.”

I briefly explained the topic of the final exam and the required materials.

Unlike other dimensions, frontline areas cannot be accessed without permission from the military.

I have no record of military activities yet, so even if I apply, it will take several months.

That’s why I called Raniakea.

With her authority as a Constellation, she will surely be able to authorize access to the frontlines as well.

She listened quietly to what I had to say, and after much thought, she opened her mouth.

“It’s a wire entry for the supply of materials…”

“We have to save the living. And that’s upper-intermediate level or higher.”

It cannot be obtained in the border area where only the lower classes are gathered.

At present, the most appropriate place was the frontline, where local warfare periodically took place.

“There’s a suitable area right on the front line.”

“You mean the front line?”

“Yes. You should already know. The area where Magi waves occur.”

I raised my head and looked at the sky.

A wave of ink light extending over the distant sky.

He pointed to the source of the disaster text and continued.

“The epicenter of that.”

“Yes. It contains powerful mental waves, so people on the front lines are having difficulties.”

She took a step closer and spoke.

“Although another professor has already been dispatched…”

She raised her hand and traced a straight line through the air.

“I’ll add Eugene-nim as well.”

The halo of light in a straight line has been replaced with numerous magic codes.

The dispatch information corrected in the name of Laniakea was approved immediately without going through examination.

“Thank you, Laniakea.”

“Whoops. Say nothing.”

He bowed his head at her smiling.

Since I always received help from Raniakea, I was more than grateful.

“take care.”

“Yes.”

It’s a long time since I’m returning to the battlefield, but I won’t be involved in a big battle anyway, so it won’t matter.

And there was also a corner to believe.

If that’s a ‘psychic wave’ problem, there’s no one more qualified than me.

“I’m coming.”

*

The forefront of the dimensional war.

This place, where light and flames pour over the blackened sky and devastated land, is reminiscent of a living hell.

Kugung- Kwaang!

The black clouds that covered the sky shook violently in the spreading Magi wave.

“This. It’s a lot more messed up than I thought.”

A wizard stood on the devastated battlefield.

Mason von Regel Pollux.

He blocked the aftermath of the wave with a barrier and wiped his chin.

“It’s a strange wavelength. Does it disrupt the mind? The structure is very peculiar.”

Under the pretext of support and information gathering, Mason had visited the front lines here.

The Mage Tower was also closely connected with the military, and had the right to intervene on the battlefield like this in return for helping them fight.

He had heard the news about the Magi Wave that had been occurring on the front lines for some time, and was about to visit this place to study it.

“Sirion. What do you think?”

“It’s hard to defend. Only then will the front collapse sooner or later.”

In the distance, the retreating Central Army could be seen.

Most of them were staggered or carried on a stretcher, but all of them were the ones who had just been hit by the demonic wave.

The effect of that wavelength is devastating.

A wave that strikes and collapses the mind.

If exposed, he would lose consciousness on the spot, and in severe cases, he would even go mad and attack his allies.

“The monsters made a new weapon amazing.”

“That’s right.”

While the master and disciple were chatting, a blue lightning suddenly struck from a distant battlefield.

There was an explosion with a flash of light, and from afar, fragmented monsters flew around.

“That professor must still have some magic left.”

“Since before, the amount of magical power was different.”

The owner of that lightning is none other than Professor Skadi.

This Demon Beast’s magic wave is a new attack method that has never been seen before.

Skadi was also a wizard after all, and he couldn’t help but feel curious about the witch’s new magic.

Anyway, she was the first professor to finish preparations for the final, and she is still an active hunter running on the battlefield.

She had enough time and energy, so she rushed to the battlefield in quick response to the military’s request for support in Helios.

Flash!

Kwakwang!

“Ohhh. That’s the 8th circle lightning magic ‘Dragon Thunder’ Guman.”

“Impressive.”

Taking a chair and popcorn out of the subspace pocket, the two intuit the massacre in full swing.

What is the electric shock of the 8th circle magician hitting right in front of you?

Every time the light flashed through his sunglasses, exclamation burst out.

After looking around for such a long time, the exhausted Skadi sat down in his seat wiping his sweat.

“Oh, that’s annoying!”

I’m here to research witches’ mental magic.

There were too many monsters flocking to it, so they couldn’t approach the important place.

Moreover, the power of the magi wave is so strong that even Skadi must be well-prepared when an explosion occurs.

As a result, the research went around in place day by day without progress.

what trouble am i in this

Feeling the magical power gradually revealing the bottom, she murmured melancholy.

“At this rate, the wires are also going out here…”

no means to respond

That Magi wave had such a complicated formula that even Skadi couldn’t figure it out.

Mason, who came before Skadi, also had no idea, so he said everything.

“I wonder if it would have been different if I had come with that person…”

Skadi remembered Kang Yu-jin.

He was almost the only person in Helios who taught the spirit world and even created the Hive consciousness in the records.

I wondered if he might be able to interpret this mysterious mental wave.

“Ehh. What do you do when you think about it now?”

It is foolish to cling to the past.

She brushed off the dust on her hat, clothes, and tail and gathered her magic again.

Thought I’d add another one like this…

“uh?”

For an instant, her gaze turned to the distant hills.

On the other side of the ruined hill, countless demons were being detected.

“No, what is this…!”

Even though I put in so many lightning bolts, there are so many of them.

It seems that the demon beasts have set today as the day of decisive battle.

This theory lacks magical power.

He may be able to escape, but the rear unit left behind will be exposed to enemy attacks.

She hurriedly shouted at Mason in the back.

“Old man! Is it possible to mass teleport!?”

“I don’t have enough magic power.”

“Evil! No help!”

Skadi screamed.

The reason the two of them are resting in the first place is because they lost their mana early on.

It was the last time he spent all his mana in order to study the magic wave.

Perhaps because they were crazy about learning, they didn’t know how much.

“ah···.”

The witches are coming.

I took out the crystal ball because I thought it wouldn’t work like this.

I’ll have to inform the command first.

She quickly blew magic into the crystal ball.

non-woven-

“No, why is this happening again?”

The communication was cut off, and the moment I was boiling, the black sky of the battlefield parted briefly.

The light that penetrated the clouds hit the center of the crowd of monsters.

A mediocre light without explosion or shock.

As soon as the steam was about to leak, Skadi noticed that the magic beasts had changed their behavior.

“Did you stop…?”

The demonic beasts that were flocking to them all stopped in place.
