Back home (1)

Helios’ final exams were held grandly over the course of a week.

At the end of the term, which evaluates not only the achievement of each subject, but also the ability of the professor himself, numerous names went up and down.

In addition to the core subjects, new professors in elective subjects such as ‘Animology’ and ‘Swordsmanship Theory’ also stood out.

With the recognition that Helios’ talents are still strong, there was a subject that was talked about the most.

Professor Kang Yu-jin of ‘Great Mathematics’.

He interpreted the ‘sympathetic nervous system’ of the Witchbeast, which no one had ever challenged, and presented the finished version as a test task for students.

In view of his overwhelming and unique tactics and academic achievements, the press conference held by President Vincent was buzzing with Kang Yu-jin’s story.

“It’s a magic tower! Professor Kang Yoo-jin’s sympathetic nervous system is a project funded by Helios!?”

“No. Professor Yujin Kang is a unique achievement.”

“Academic Alliance! Are there any plans to publish research on the sympathetic nervous system?”

“It’s up to you, but I want to see you personally, so let’s talk about it.”

As a person who has been trained in press conferences, Vincent’s answers had a unique skill.

But not everyone who asks questions is gentlemanly.

A man raised his hand and threw a hwadu.

“MRT. There is a suspicion that Professor Yujin Kang taught unverified knowledge.”

“Professor’s knowledge has been fully verified and meets Helios’ teaching standards. Please refrain from asking rude questions.”

Vincent asked the reporters to refrain from provocative remarks, but, as is the case with journalists, he did not blink an eye.

“However, Professor Yujin Kang has not revealed anything about the sympathetic nervous system!”

To the reporter who did not give up, Vincent sighed and answered.

“That question will have a major announcement later. Please wait.”

major announcement.

That word was enough to throw a scoop on the heads of reporters.

The interview room, where ‘suspicion’ disappeared and ‘curiosity’ was driven, heated up with a barrage of questions again.

And, it wasn’t just Vincent who received this kind of attention from reporters.

The students majoring in Mathematics who took the test themselves were also good interview subjects, and the reporters did not want to miss such an opportunity.

“Ms. Estelle! I wonder how you feel about this test!”

“Tell me about the sympathetic nervous system!”

“What position will Vega take on this test?”

Estelle was caught on her way home and surrounded by reporters.

The same goes for other majors who have finished together.

They might feel intimidated by the swarm of reporters, but those who listened to Kang Yoo-jin’s classes as if they were on a daily basis were trained to such an extent that they didn’t feel like this much pressure before they knew it.

Estelle moved in front of the reporters with her cold eyes raised.

“Ms. Estelle! Even if it’s just a word…”

“It’s noisy.”

A voice imbued with the power of mind control resounded bleakly.

There was no coercive power to stop others, but the reporters’ voices stopped for an instant due to the creepy magic that was unique to mind control.

“Get out of the way.”

gulp.

The reporters who swallowed dry saliva split like the Red Sea and opened the way.

For a moment, they looked for the next target, but the other children’s reactions were the same as Estelle’s.

“go away.”

“Isn’t it off?”

“Don’t bother.”

All the children scorned the reporters with their chic faces and proudly went their own way.

Cynthia, who had a mild personality, was the only one who was embarrassed, but Encia was already attached to her.

“Hey, let’s do an interview…!”

“Picture. Trouble.”

“No, that’s a question…”

“No questions asked.”

Encia, wearing sunglasses from where she got them, took Cynthia with her like a bodyguard and leisurely left the reporters.

“wow···.”

Skadi, who happened to be watching the scene, shook her shoulders as if she was fed up with Yujin Kang who was with her.

“That’s completely ripped off you? It’s Yujin Kang mk.2?”

“Is that so.”

He glanced at him and nodded.

“You’ve learned well.”

“·······.”

Skadi’s expression turned grim.

either the professor or the student.

Great Mathematics was not normal at all.

The final exam for Mathematics has spread in waves.

The level of the students was also great, but the ripple effect of the sympathetic nervous system that Yujin Kang showed was a level that brought a blast to the academic world.

Demonic Beast’s unique communication system.

One of the ‘impossible theses’ that were considered impossible to interpret and structure.

Kang Yoo-jin proudly broke it and revealed the ‘complete version’ to the world.

“My professor is really great too.”

Encia smiled brightly as she read the article about Yujin Kang, which made headlines.

There was something enjoyable about the professor who became famous day by day.

After folding the newspaper, Encia walked down the vast hallway of a mansion.

A white marble space reminiscent of a huge cathedral.

The place where even the holiness was felt was the mansion of ‘Vega’, the home of Ensia.

“Mom, I’m here!”

When I opened the door to the large office and entered, there was a mysterious woman who looked exactly like Encia.

In her sharp gaze, she was different from Encia’s strictness, and she was Helena, the current head of the Vega family and Encia’s mother.

“Encia. You should say ‘mother’ instead of ‘mother’.”

“But my mother is more affectionate!”

“Follow me. Uh.m.ni.”

“mom!”

“Ugh···.”

Helena sighed as she saw Encia crying brightly for her mother.

“Children from other families learned manners a long time ago.

“But this is good!”

Ensia, who ran quickly, embraced Helena’s arms.

Helena sighed and gently stroked her daughter’s hair.

“You’re still a spoiled brat at 17.”

“Is a 17-year-old a girl?”

“Ughhh…”

When will this immature child become as modest as other family members?

The heart of a mother who dreams of a mature daughter earns 1 loss today.

“Encia. You’ll soon be an adult too.”

“Yes.”

“You know it’s time to decide what to believe in, right?”

Helena’s voice was tinged with concern.

Angels must find an object of faith before they become adults.

Otherwise, the body will collapse due to the power of the holy power, and eventually death will occur.

Originally, they do not force their beliefs, but Helena, unlike other angels, has a special love for her daughter.

She didn’t want her daughter to be swallowed up by holy power and turned into a handful of ashes.

“Did the professor you spoke of accept your oath?”

“No? The professor is still on the fence~”

“·······.”

The object of faith that Ensia hopes for is the owner of the image dwelling in the winter forest.

In her heart, she thought that the target was Yujin Kang, but she didn’t know that, and she was refusing Ensia’s oath.

In fact, even after the first admission, I tried several more times, but each time I was rejected.

“…that professor is not the only great person in the world.”

“Yeah. But I don’t like other people.”

Helena’s precious daughter’s stubbornness is nothing short of savage.

But she’s also an angel.

Knowing the weight of her tribe’s faith, she could no longer blame her daughter.

Helena swallowed the matter of faith and told why she had called Ensia here.

“I called you today, it’s because of that professor, nothing else.”

“Professor Yujin Kang?”

“Yes. You know about the ‘Earth’ dimension, right?”

don’t know

It is the hometown of Yujin Kang, whom she longs for.

The echo of the word earth was more familiar to Ensia than Helios.

“Something happened to that dimension. ‘The Most Holy Sky’ called us directly.”

“Wow.”

Earth is currently a world where access to and from dimensions is blocked.

A treasure trove of victories in the Dimensional War.

The secret of war sleeping there is more valuable than anything else, and since the Witchbeast knows it, it is still preparing for a re-attack.

Laniakea noticed this and sealed the Earth dimension, and it was the Vega family who added their strength to the barrier surrounding that world.

In other words, Vega is the one who created the gateway that surrounds the Earth.

“The Most Holy Heaven seeks me. So let’s go with you.”

Laniakea did not specifically reveal the reason for exceptionally opening the access to the earth, but if you are not an idiot, you will be able to figure out the reason.

Yujin Kang, her apostle and the only Earth native of Helios.

It must have been a problem with him.

“Go. See if he really lives up to your beliefs.”

“Yeah~”

Ansia smiled brightly.

Seeing that smile, Helena hugged her daughter a little more and looked at the picture on the table.

It was a picture of young Ansia smiling brightly, taken with her husband.

now it’s only you

She vowed to protect her one and only daughter no matter what.

The final exams are over and vacation is near.

As the temperature got hotter, the academy became quieter, and the strange excitement of summer was felt in the quiet campus.

It is a time when the excitement of the upcoming holiday dwells in the voices that come and go.

Across that leisurely daily life, Laniakea’s call flew to me.

“Did you call?”

“Yes. Welcome, my apostle.”

At the altar I visited after a long absence, Laniakea welcomed me with her large wings spread.

Her voice was still as soft as a feather, full of goodwill.

She quietly approached me with her wings folded, and raised her head to look at me.

“I heard that you showed great performance here and there.”

“I just wanted to broaden my knowledge.”

“Huh, is that so? I’m worried that you didn’t call while you were busy.”

“Fine.”

There is a lot of work, but if my Constellation called for it, it would be appropriate to create time that does not exist.

“I called you today because I wanted to give you a mission.”

“A mission?”

“Yeah.”

Her hand drew a trajectory, and the clusters of light converged to form a hologram.

The information that popped up there was my old history belonging to the ‘black’ grade.

“Your achievements and history have been hidden until now.”

“Yes. There was a lot of sensitive information to reveal.”

Although the beginning of his teaching career was difficult, it was a necessary step.

If my history was public from the beginning, the information about me being alive as well as my work on Earth would leak out.

In the past, when the demon’s influence extended to the depths of the academy, such information leakage could have been fatal.

If the demon beast had discovered my existence, it would have tried to kill me no matter what.

“If you show this now, it means you’re declassifying it now.”

“Yes, that is correct.”

Raniakea readily agreed.

“Now you are not weak, and we can protect you.”

I currently have 4 circles of magic power and 3 levels of mind control.

In addition, a new weapon technology through ‘multiple mediation’, as well as a special ability called magic, can be used.

It can’t be said that he completely regained his former power, but it was enough to repel the clutches of the demonic beasts that were targeting me.

And best of all, Helios regained his protective abilities thanks to the rotting inside the school.

In other words, the minimum safety device to reveal my existence was prepared.

“And, this time, you finally showed the world a complete version of the sympathetic nervous system.”

“Yes.”

Information that can be said to be the demon’s wrath and its greatest weakness.

I made it public through this final exam and also showed that it can be taught to others.

Just like I declared in my first class at the beginning of the semester.

Masu language sympathy. power management. mind control.

The ‘sympathetic nervous system’ that has gone through all the processes so far and uses them all in the past.

It was just the beginning of the ‘how to win the war’ that I declared.

“Now, if this fact is disclosed to the outside world, it will only be a matter of time before the demons know about your resurrection.”

“I guess so.”

It’s something I’ve been dreaming of for a long time.

I nodded without hesitation.

“So, before that, I want to ask Eugene to visit Earth.”

“…Earth.”

“Yes. There is something to be found there.”

She raised the shape of a sword above her hand.

“This···.”

The moment I saw the sword, I kept my mouth shut.

A two-handed sword with elegant light and patterns on top of a brilliant silver blade.

It was a weapon I was very familiar with, and it was also the remnants of a heartbreaking past.

“It’s Maria’s sword.”

“Yes. It’s her favorite, and it’s the weapon I bestowed on her.”

Laniakea gave it to you?

It was the first time I had heard of it, so I threw my eyes away, but she didn’t say anything more than that.

“·······.”

Maria’s sword, ‘Equinox’.

A sword made of a metal of unknown origin, which burned countless demonic energy in Maria’s hand and broke the witch’s magic.

The sword of ‘Soma (燒魔)’, which literally burns wrong power, is inserted in place of the tombstone at the place where she died.

“Are you going to retrieve this?”

“Yes. To prepare for the future war, I need that sword.”

The sword now sleeps with memories of the past.

It was as if they were preparing for the fate of setting the demon beast on fire again with the resurrected me.

“But, before that, there are things I need to prepare.”

As soon as she finished speaking, another person came to the altar.

The person who appeared with the light was a mysterious woman who looked exactly like Encia.

“Greetings. I am the current head of the Vega family.”

“I’m Kang Yujin.”

“…Helena von Schuschein Vega.”

The not-so-favorable voice returned, and Helena bowed her head at Laniakea.

“Earth is currently forbidden from entering and exiting. And the Vega family created that barrier.”

“Laniakea, wasn’t it you?”

“Sure, I helped. But Vega did all the dirty work.”

Helena bowed her head deeply as if in exclamation, and spoke as if adding an explanation.

“For exceptional access to the barrier, Vega’s companion is required.”

“Can’t you remove the barrier?”

“It’s a powerful barrier that surrounds the entire dimension. That’s impossible.”

Helena’s voice was firm.

“…then are you going with me?”

“no.”

Just then, Helena patted him on the back.

Something squirmed behind her, and Ensia poked her head out.

“…my child will come with me.”

“Nice to meet you, Professor!”

Ensia, who jumped up, laughed in front of me.

To think that this chewing gum was following me… I had to barely hold back a sigh.

“Professor Yujin Kang.”

Helena was looking at me like that with raised eyes.

“Please take good care of my daughter.”

“···Yes.”

Leaving behind her gaze, feeling the unspoken pressure, Laniakea’s hand gripped my hand.

“I’m sorry for asking you to do something difficult.”

“···no.”

Because it was something I had to do someday.

“Now is the time.”

Her hand held my hand tightly.

“Please bring Maria’s legacy.”
