I Became the Only Non-mage in the Academy

Chapter 210: The Great Evil - Aftermath (2)

I resolved to obtain the power of the boundary. I tried to get it right away, but unfortunately, I couldn’t go immediately.

“How about it? Do you think I could become a perfect wife now?”

“Yeah, it seems like it.”

Ershil caught me. Despite being the one who struggled the most and pushed my body to the limit, she blocked me, threatening to call a doctor when I tried to move.

“I think you need to rest, Mr. Seo-ha. You just took down that mountain beast in the Lion King rescue mission, and then you went straight into another fight without resting.”

“…You noticed?”

“Wasn’t it obvious to anyone who looked? Even if I wasn’t sure, I saw the golden lightning right in front of me.”

Ershil was smiling brightly while cutting an apple. She wasn’t using a regular knife but her magic, which she often used. The apple’s peel came off in a pretty shape.

“But why do you have three identities? During the day, you act as Veritas or Lee Seo-ha, and at night, as the Masked Man. You’re like a Korean Dark Knight.”

“Well, I had no choice. When my power was lacking, I had to create multiple identities to ensure I had an escape route.”

“I see. But who knows about this?”

“Hmm…”

I pondered for a moment. Only one person knew all my identities. The Electronic Witch, who helped me unleash my true potential.

“Just one? As far as I know, only one person knew before this incident.”

“Is it a woman?”

“…Yes, a woman.”

Her body didn’t exist in the real world; she only operated in the virtual world. But she was still a woman. I crafted a body for her through alchemy and lent it to her as needed.

‘Come to think of it, she did say she wanted to customize it again.’

It’s about time I returned to the identity of Veritas.

“Hmmm…”

“Kim Seo-hyun and Seo Ga-yeon probably know now because of this.”

“The student council president might know too.”

“…Right.”

I quickly responded to avoid showing that I had momentarily forgotten, and Ershil gave me a peculiar smile.

“Here, Mr. Seo-ha, open wide~.”

“Ah.”

Following Ershil’s instruction, I opened my mouth, and she placed a piece of apple in it. My lips curled up, which meant I was smirking.

“Oh, right. What are you going to do with Daji’s byproduct?”

“…I forgot about that.”

“We’re currently storing it in our family’s vault. A dragon appeared at the end and said it belonged to you, Mr. Seo-ha.”

“…”

It felt a bit overwhelming. I wasn’t the one who did it all.

“It’s best to deal with this quickly. Even storing it is quite burdensome for our family.”

There were many forces that would covet something like Daji’s byproduct. Heroes would salivate over it, villains would eye it, and the Great Evil would be no exception. If someone obtained Daji’s entire corpse, they could create an undead close to the highest rank, though not as powerful as Daji. ℞ãƝ𝘖ВƐS̈

‘I’ve got a mountain of tasks.’

Even after defeating Daji, there were still so many things left to resolve. I had to level up, take care of my guild members, deal with Daji’s byproduct, and distribute rewards based on contribution.

‘…Should I just stay in the hospital quietly?’

I was briefly tempted by a strong urge, but I knew it was something I had to handle eventually. I owed a lot to the Electronic Witch, so it was also my responsibility.

“Well, I’ll be going now. I’ve delivered what I needed to, and I’ve recharged enough.”

“Recharge?”

“It’s just something like that. Anyway, goodbye.”

With slightly flushed cheeks, Ershil waved at me. I waved back.

-…It’s unbecoming for someone who calls themselves a Transcendent to be so frivolous.

‘Why?’

-Never mind. I just overheard something that her master once said.

I made a strange expression. Others might sense Melanie, but almost no Transcendent could sense Black Heaven.

Black Heaven was created based on the Energy of Defying Heaven, which allowed her to evade the detection of other Transcendents. However, with the Absolute Stat now obtained, things looked a bit different.

“Oh, right.”

As I was pondering about Black Heaven, Ershil approached me with quick steps.

“I’ll take this as my reward for working hard during this subjugation.”

“What…”

Before I could say anything, Ershil’s tongue opened my lips and touched my tongue.

Chuup.

A thin thread formed, connecting our tongues for a moment before breaking.

I stared blankly at Ershil. Her cheeks were flushed red, and she gave a playful wink.

“I-I’m really going now!”

Ershil left.


Rewinding time a little.

The Absolute Stat Energy of Defying Heaven.

This was originally the power I was supposed to obtain.

However, I couldn’t acquire it.

Right after I attempted to activate the Absolute Stat of Defying Heaven, something happened.

[■■■■■■■ is watching you.]

[The will of the world panics and blocks its gaze for you.]

[The will of the world panics and blocks its frame for you.]

Even so,

I could feel that a colossal gaze was observing me.

‘What… the…’

It was enormous.

So enormous that, despite having crafted many narratives and created a frame, just feeling that gaze made me tremble.

Right after falling into this world, many things happened. But that moment was when I felt the greatest fear I had ever experienced.

For the first time, I encountered an existence that seemed impervious to narratives or frames.

For the first time, I was overwhelmed by the feeling that there was nothing I could do, no matter how much I struggled.

-Wait! Why is that being here!?

Black Heaven reverted to her true form in shock. She stood beside me and enveloped me with the Energy of Defying Heaven.

-Master! What have you done!?

-What… what’s happening? What on earth is going on right now?

[■■■■■■■ is watching you. ■■■■■■■ confirms the presence of their powers within you.]

[■■■■■■■ grants you power.]

Immediately afterward, the gaze withdrew.

I sat there, dazed for a long time, until the sun set and rose again.

[The rules are changing. The power of Defying Heaven is assimilating with the Black Flame.]

[You have acquired the Absolute Stat Black (黑). The Conceptual Stat Energy of Defying Heaven has been transformed into the Absolute Stat Black (黑): 1.]

-Master, are you okay?

“…Yeah, I think I’m okay.”

[The will of the world looks at you with relief.]

“But just now…”

-I don’t know. All I know is that an existence so distant, so unimaginably far away, was watching us…

[The will of the world informs you that the highest being in the laws of the universe was watching you.]

‘The highest being among the laws…?’

There was an existence that wielded the power of Defying Heaven and Starlight.

…It was the Creator God.

Thus, my power changed.

‘It’s not a bad thing.’

Black (黑) also encompassed the power of Defying Heaven. Its versatility greatly expanded, and the power itself increased immensely.

Just by evolving the Absolute Stat, two more Black Flame Stars emerged within my body.

‘Now there are nine.’

As the number of Black Flame Stars increased to nine, the burden on my body became more severe. In this state, it would be logical to seek out external techniques. However, I made a different decision. I began preparations to acquire the boundary.

‘Normally, creating an external technique would be the right choice.’

That instinct came to me. The opportunity to add the boundary to the Black Flame Stars was only available now. Therefore, I planned to carefully prepare before heading to the North.


“I heard about the reward Ershil received.”

Seo Ga-yeon, who appeared out of nowhere, spoke to me.

“…Ga-yeon?”

“Kiss me too!”

“Ga-yeon? What are you suddenly saying? A kiss with the elder…?”

Seo Ga-yeon and Seolhwa Ryeon suddenly barged in.

“What are you talking about? Seo-ha, let’s go train.”

“That’s not the point right now. Ershil stole Seo-ha’s first kiss.”

“…Hiccup.”

“Ara?”

For some reason, Kim Ara and Kim Seo-hyun from the Changcheon Guild were there. Well, Kim Seo-hyun belongs to the Changcheon Guild, so that’s understandable, but…

Kim Ara stood next to me. Due to her height, there wasn’t much difference between us.

“Sorry, I didn’t want to reveal this, but actually, I took Seo-ha’s first experience (not the first time).”

“No, that was a forced kiss…”

“You took Seo-ha’s first experience…?”

Kim Seo-hyun looked at me as if hearing something unbelievable. Seo Ga-yeon shed tears.

“I’ve lost my purpose in life. Don’t look for me.”

“Ga-yeon?”

…And now, I was in the process of comforting Seo Ga-yeon.

“Ga-yeon, I couldn’t react when Ara kissed me suddenly.”

“How could you…”

Seo Ga-yeon was deeply hurt.

“I’m still inexperienced… but Seo-ha wasn’t…”

I had nothing to say to that. It seems she read my thoughts and realized I wasn’t inexperienced.

“What’s going on? Why is it so noisy?”

Click, click.

A confident voice rang out as red hair was swept back. It was Hong Yu-hwa.

“…Why is Seo Ga-yeon crying?”

“Well…”

“Have we been found out already?”

Hong Yu-hwa approached me and kissed me deeply.

“What trashy thing did our little rabbit do to make Ga-yeon cry?”

“Hey, rabbit! I won that time!”

“So you’ve lasted more than 3 minutes? You said you liked it and then immediately… inside me…”

Hong Yu-hwa blushed as she spoke.

“…Were you two in that kind of relationship?”

“Well, sorry. I wasn’t trying to hide it.”

“…”

Seo Ga-yeon stared blankly, as if she had just heard the world was ending tomorrow.

“What? Was that the problem?”

Hong Yu-hwa said casually, ignoring Seo Ga-yeon’s reaction.

“What’s the problem?”

“…?”

“Did you really think I’d monopolize you when I’ve been looking at you that way?”

“…Huh?”

Hong Yu-hwa sighed and spread her hands.

“Seven people. Excluding me, seven others. No more than that.”

“Really?”

“…Isn’t there only one bed in the Guild Master’s room?”

“Ga-yeon?”

“Shut up.”

“…Okay.”

I had nothing more to say.
