Exam preparation(3)

Skadi couldn’t understand the current situation.

“What am I looking at?”

Demons are fighting each other.

It wasn’t just a fight, it was a fight to kill each other.

Tooth after tooth bites his own kind, and blood and pieces of flesh fly everywhere.

In the midst of a fratricide that seemed quite cruel, Skadi, as well as Mason and the military unit who came with her, were at a loss for words.

“Old man! Why are these guys doing this all of a sudden!?”

“I understand. I’ve never seen a scene like this before.”

The Witchbeasts didn’t even pay attention to the humans who came close.

Skadi caught one just in case, but the Witchbeast ignored the dead one and started fighting with the other kind.

Truly a crucible of chaos.

And the moment he reached the other side of the hill beyond the mayhem, Skadi was stunned.

“what’s this···.”

a sea of corpses

Countless corpses of demons are scattered everywhere.

The command object Wyvern is rolling on the floor with only its head left, and the ‘glass coffin’ that appears to be the new weapon in question is left unattended.

And the moment they saw the man standing in front of them, the faces of the people present were tinged with astonishment.

“Kang… Eugene?”

“Is that Professor Yujin Kang?”

Yujin Kang is here.

That means that the person who created this map of hell is that professor.

Skadi, who had been dazed, immediately slid down the slope and ran to where he was.

“Kang-Yu-Jin!!”

all over the place-

Kang Yoo-jin, who slightly turned her head, saw Skadi running towards her with her tail erect, and bowed her head in greeting.

It couldn’t have been a very tense greeting.

“Everything, you! What the hell are you doing here!?”

“I am preparing for the exam.”

“Are you ready for the exam?”

He pointed to the head of a wyvern lying nearby.

“I’m here to find materials to recreate the beast’s sympathetic nervous system.”

“…You just wiped out a Demon Beast Army unit just to prepare for the test?”

He nodded in affirmation.

Skadi’s eyes looking at him trembled.

Yujin Kang briefly explained what had happened here.

Taking command of the battle object through mind control, and killing the command object Wyvern in the middle of their forces.

And he ordered the drakes to kill each other, causing them to self-destruct.

“Wow… I was scolded for using all my magic power just to shave them…”

It was an endless army if you fought with the standard, but it was a snap to break it down by digging into the inside like this.

A strategy that no one can imitate.

This was a tactic that only Kang Yoo-jin could do with mind control.

“How did you get here? Surely the application for dispatch has been completed… Ho, did you have any connections to the military?”

“Nope.”

“Then how-“

“My Constellation sent me.”

his throne.

Saying that the most holy sky had sent it, there was nothing to say.

Hagiya, if it was the Empress of the Constellation, it would have been possible to send an apostle through the dimensional wall.

“Hey. It’s a lot more stuff than I thought.”

Mason, who followed after us, approached.

His disciple Sirion, who was following him, bowed his head as he faced Yujin Kang.

“My name is Sirion von Sergio. I’m not enough, but I’m living as Mason-sama’s apprentice.”

“Nice to meet you.”

Shaking hands, Sirion’s eyes shone.

Could this be the professor Mason admired?

There were many things he wanted to share, but he kept quiet.

This place was not a good place to satisfy my curiosity.

Sirion took a step back, and Skadi approached him hesitantly and tapped Yujin Kang on the arm.

“Zugiyo…Professor Yujin Kang?”

“Yes.”

“Are you really in the same SS class as me? Isn’t it just like the SSS class?”

“SS That’s right.”

Skadi’s suspicions he dismissed at once.

“I’m just used to fighting Dragonia.”

If you only look at the strength of oneself, Skadi is several times stronger than Kang Yu-jin now.

Skadi can produce the firepower that Kang Yu-jin would need to fire dozens of bullets with a single lightning bolt.

Even so, the reason he was different from Skadi was because of the difference in ability and experience.

Dig into the middle of enemy lines, assassinate enemy generals, and seize the mind to self-destruct troops.

And in-depth knowledge of Dragonia.

Yujin Kang’s strength comes from that.

“Whoa… Anyway, this is it? Is it a new weapon brought by the witch or something?”

Skadi tapped the glass tube with her small hand.

“Yes. They say it’s a device that amplifies demonic energy and sends it out as mental waves.”

“Huh? Who told you that?”

He raised his hand and pointed at the wyvern with only its head remaining.

“ah···.”

“I plan to take the exact principle to the lab and check it out.”

He turned his head and looked at the unit commander.

“Can you do that?”

“…Yes. No problem.”

The officer in charge nodded his head more obediently than he thought.

Kang Yoo-jin’s career is so splendid that there are few people in the military who don’t know about it.

In addition to being the most holy apostle of heaven, it was Kang Yu-jin who overturned the battle situation at the edge of the cliff and destroyed the enemy.

Since this was Kang Yu-jin’s booty, the military had neither the right to claim ownership nor the shame.

Then, Skadi tapped him on the arm.

“Before you go, tell me one thing.”

“What is it?”

“Here, how many levels of mind control did you make like this?”

He spread three fingers.

“Then what is the final stage of mind control?”

Five fingers are extended.

“·······.”

Step 5. There are still two steps left above this.

The second step was to write while sparring with oneself, and the third step was to bring this place to this point.

The other two steps were not even clear to what extent.

“Then let’s go first.”

Yujin Kang, who put the head of the wyvern and the glass tube into the subspace of the weapon box, called Laniakea.

Just like when he came here, a group of lights poured down, and he, transformed into a flash of light, ascended into the sky and disappeared.

“It’s so easy.”

Seeing him disappear, Skadi murmured.

If you are an apostle of the most holy heaven, it seems that such things are possible.

“Why did you come here?”

“He said he came to get the materials needed to prepare for the exam.”

I was speechless, so I laughed out loud.

If the preparation for the exam is only this much, how much is ‘sincerity’?

“If you really want to fight, don’t you just catch the boss? Guys like Balthazar and Arachne.”

“Maybe so, heh heh.”

It was said as a joke, but it seemed like it really was.

In the meantime, a strange thought crossed Skadi’s mind.

‘Come to think of it… hasn’t one of the bosses died recently?’

I definitely remember it.

‘Fallen Diablo of Fire’.

I once heard the news of the death of the evil dragon through the news of an academic conference.

I don’t know the details of the inside story, but along with that, Skadi was worried about what Kang Yu-jin said earlier.

-I’m just used to fighting Dragonia.

The king of Dragonia is dead, and Kang Yu-jin is used to fighting the dragons.

‘…is it a coincidence?’

It may not be nothing more than a leap.

But Skadi felt a certain certainty fill his head.

‘If it’s the military…’

The central army has a record room where war records are kept.

Since even the smallest things were recorded, there was a possibility that the big event of Diablo’s death was written in detail.

I completely forgot about it because it was a closed record room for a closed group.

It is also a place where there is not much to go to in the first place.

‘I’ll have to go see it later.’

Skadi hurriedly moved to where the troops were.

*

Returning to Helios, I headed straight for the lab.

The wyvern’s head was magically treated so that it would not die, and a final exam plan was written to be submitted to the undergraduate school.

The final topic I am planning is, of course, the use of the ‘sympathetic nervous system’.

The sympathetic nervous system of the ‘real’ beast, not the imitation made in class.

I plan to develop and evaluate students’ practical skills through this test.

“I don’t know if it will pass.”

The school might take a break from using real witchcraft.

Anyway, witch beasts are dangerous, and there have been many incidents lately.

Several times, I risked being rejected, and headed to the administration with the plans I had drawn up.

“Oh Professor Yujin Kang.”

When I went up to the administration, Roshua greeted me.

This time, it seemed that he was caught up in the administration work, but the dark circles that were already severe seemed to have deepened.

“I’ve been waiting for you whenever you come. You’re submitting your final plan, right?”

“Yes. Am I late?”

“It’s the last one. It’s not too late.”

Roshua’s eyes quickly scanned the plan.

He seemed to be looking at it roughly, but his sharp eyes seemed to be reading it carefully.

“Wouldn’t it be dangerous to use the original ‘sympathetic nervous system’ because the stage is in a border area?”

“Even if it’s the original, only the head remains. The border area has already been cleaned.”

“Oh. Thank you for your hard work.”

Then, he nodded and put a stamp on the ‘approval’ column.

And that was it.

Roshua didn’t ask for anything more.

“…Do you have anything more to ask?”

“It’s none other than Professor Yujin Kang, isn’t it? If the professor is safe, that’s it.”

he replied, handing over the paperwork and looking at the next page.

The next chapter was equally important, so I was a little nervous.

“Invite outside personnel?”

“Yes. Is that possible?”

“There’s nothing that can’t be done…”

It is not unusual to receive help from an outsider for Helios’ test.

If you hire a competent expert, you can create a well-organized test.

In fact, core subjects as well as electives often draw in outside personnel.

However, outsiders may cause dissonance as they are not familiar with Helios’ physiology.

Sometimes it seems that there is a fight over this issue.

That’s probably why Roshua reacted like that.

“Are you okay? The progress of the test will be reflected in the professor’s evaluation.”

“Fine.”

This is a necessary process.

The Witchbeast’s sympathetic nervous system is a communication system for the masses.

A Wyvern’s head alone would be an empty cry, and it was dangerous for safety to insert additional demon beasts.

I had marked the cutting edge to compensate for this part.

“Ummm… Well, the professors must all have ideas. Looks like you’ve found a good expert?”

He asked while stamping the ‘invitation of outside personnel’ documents as well.

Before that question, I confidently nodded.

“It’s almost like an authority.”

*

A periphery world far from the central dimension.

In this peaceful world covered with desolate forests and quiet plains, the home of Cynthia and Karina is nestled.

“hehehe~”

Karina, who lives alone now, didn’t have many routines.

There is no place to play around, and no one to meet and play with.

Is sweeping, cleaning, or gardening in the front yard a daily routine?

The stigma of staring out blankly while drinking tea is a bit boring, but this life wasn’t too bad for her either.

If I had only one younger brother, I could feel this boredom without being more lovable.

“hehehe~ I think he’s doing well on the exam?”

You said that this is the final exam, so when it’s over, you’ll be back home because it’s vacation, right?

When Cynthia comes back, I should go on a trip.

While making a happy plan, I poured the brewed tea into a teacup.

It smells really good.

empty-

“yes?”

My head turned at the sudden knocking sound.

Who is it? There must be no one to come now?

It is so remote that the only people who come here are Cynthia and the military who occasionally come to check on her safety.

It’s not a good time for both of you to come, is there something going on?

“Yes, let’s go~”

What do you think?

It’s good that people come.

It will be a sweetener to your boring daily life.

Karina smiled and opened the front door.

“Who is-“

Clink!

Karina’s body froze as she opened the door and dropped the teacup she was holding.

He was a hand taller than himself.

An old black coat.

hat and mask.

And, the emotionless black eyes.

Standing at the entrance was none other than Yujin Kang.

Seeing him standing in the shade with his back to the sunlight, Karina collapsed into her seat.

“Go… go, Kang… Eugene…?”

The feeling of happiness was gone, and a deep fear settled in its place.

Looking at the hunter’s gaze looking down at her, Karina’s eyes filled with fear.

It was because Kang Yoo-jin’s frightful voice, which had warned him the other day, came to mind again.

She trembled and withdrew from Yujin Kang.

“I-I didn’t do anything bad…Joe, I lived quietly…I lived…really…”

Jerk- jerk-

He approached Karina, who was withdrawing.

I was afraid and I was in tears.

Did he change his mind? Is that why you came to kill me?

My heart was tight and it was difficult to breathe.

So when he put something forward, he closed his eyes tightly.

“Oops…!”

is it a weapon

Are you trying to blow your head off?

Caught in all sorts of delusions, he turned his head away.

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds like that.

When she didn’t feel any pain after a while, she opened her closed eyes.

What I saw in front of me like that was a small box called the ‘Visit Gift Set’.

“I’ve never been to someone else’s house, so I just bought something.”

“···ah?”

Putting down the box, he snapped his fingers.

Then, the broken teacup returned to its original state, and the scattered tea water returned to the cup intact without any impurities.

It is as if time has been turned back, and the operation of tremendous magical power.

Kang Yoo-jin, who only returned the teacup with that, took off her hat and mask and sipped tea.

Even that figure was like a canvas and a sculpture, but Karina was more afraid than that.

“Did you say your name was Karina?”

“Yes… Ah, no… Yes!”

“Don’t be nervous. I’m just a guest.”

She nodded desperately.

The preparing messenger told me not to be nervous, so I had to desperately not be nervous.

“Tsk…”

He looked at her disapprovingly and opened his mouth.

“Do you have anything else to do now?”

“No…! I’m not doing anything. Quiet… I’m really quiet.”

“is it.”

He nodded and took a chair and sat down.

“Sit down.”

Karina quickly got up and sat down.

Then, he pulled out a small document from his pocket and held it out to her.

Karina trembled and accepted the document.

What? Is it a death sentence?

“If you don’t have anything to do, don’t you want to try a part-time job for a while?”

Part time job.

At that, I lowered my head and looked at the document with the headline ‘Employment Contract’ written on it.

“I need a helper for this final exam, and you’re the right person.”

“Yes… Heck?”

“I won’t be sorry for the reward.”

He pulled out a check from his wallet.

Twenty thousand shillings.

A lot of money that Karina couldn’t even touch.

To her, the check that Yujin Kang gave out sounded like a message saying ‘I will kill you if you don’t accept it’.

“Ha, I’ll do it. Pe, pen…”

He took a pen from a nearby writing box, but his trembling hand kept dropping it.

“Ahahahaha…why is this…why is this…”

“Take it slow.”

With trembling hands, he crookedly wrote his signature.

“Thank you for accepting. See you next week at my office in Helios.”

nod nod-

“…you only need to do it once.”

nod-

ha···.

Yujin Kang let out a sigh and prepared to leave.

Putting on a mask and hat, putting down a teacup, he finally left the front door.

“The tea was good.”

Seeing Kang Yoo-jin’s back as he disappeared so far away, Karina clutched her chest and sat down as if collapsing.

Feeling as if her lifespan had been shaved off by 500 years, she let out a sigh of relief through tears.

I missed my brother so much today.
