Academy Assassination Genius - Academy Assassination Genius chapter 66

When we sat down, Maegu asked in a rare cautious manner.

[Are you okay?]

Of course it’s not okay.

I was quite surprised.

I was puzzled.

‘Perhaps more agitated than when I realized that the devil worshiper moved faster than the original.’

The question was whether that embarrassment was now showing on his face.

I took out the terminal and looked at my face instead of a mirror, but I’m not sure.

It doesn’t look much different from usual, and it seems that his face has become harder than usual due to agitation.

I couldn’t give an objective evaluation, so I asked Mae-gu.

‘Could it be revealed through facial expressions?’

[No, rather, I asked because his expression was not different from usual.]

‘That’s fortunate.’

If it were the original me, the agitation would definitely have been revealed on the face.

Of course, apart from facial expression, if you know how to read other people’s mood finely, you might notice my agitation.

“You seem to have a darker complexion than usual. Did you lose sleep?”

Compared to the first time we met, Namgoong-Ik has noticeably increased his words.

“Yeah, you already have a gloomy and gloomy impression, but you look darker than usual.”

It’s like Shin Seong-a who worries about me with pure words that are no different from half-swear words.

Of course, in the current situation, I want to decline the interest of the two.

“Maybe it’s because I overslept a little, I’m more tired than usual.”

After making a rough excuse, the two said, ‘I see.’ and skipped over it.

They are good friends.

‘I’ll forget about Han So-yul for now.’

There is no evidence left, and Han So-yul is on the heavy-mouthed side.

I promised not to say it, so I’m not the one to break it.

First of all, I am something like Han So-yul’s lifesaver.

I will not do the shameless act of repaying kindness with my enemy.

Although there were a few minor glitches, this case turned out better than I thought.

‘No one was killed or injured. As long as the urethra remains, the case is not over.’

After the main character’s transfer, the urethra of ‘Sword that possesses people’, which can be said to be the first episode, was retrieved yesterday.

Of course, I only retrieved it, but I haven’t completely dealt with it yet.

It would be easy to go to Baek Yu-ri after school and bring back the amulet.

‘The next main episode has very little that I can be involved in. Skip ahead and get ready for the third episode… .’

Kang Min-hyeok, the face I had seen just a few hours ago, was just entering the classroom.

He didn’t show any sign of fatigue or exhaustion, but he must have used up a lot of energy for the final blow.

I don’t know if I’ve recovered half of my energy consumed.

‘Likewise, I haven’t recovered all the mana I consumed in yesterday’s battle.’

Kang Min-hyuk’s strength was confirmed with his own body a few hours ago.

Far from fighting head-on, even if you take a gap and attack by surprise, the probability of success is less than a decimal point.

I realize with my body that there is still a long way to go until the ending between him and me.

While I was thinking about that, Instructor Lee Soo-min entered the classroom.

“There will be a comprehensive examination. Everyone, go to the research building.”

Starting with an eye exam, blood and urine. In the end, the amount and nature of mana will be examined.

We are moving to the research building following Sumin Lee.

Maegoo asked from the shoulder that had become a fixed stone.

[It’s a comprehensive examination. We take care of your health here.]

‘It’s not specifically to take care of my health.’

[If you say so, then it must mean that there is a different reason for this swordsman, right?]

‘There are probably more reasons like this, but it’s because I want the students’ data.’

First of all, it is for reference for team composition prior to full-scale combat training.

I’m going to go to the research building in silence.

I’m not alone in my dissatisfaction.

There is room for abuse, and it was not a story without possibility of leaking to the outside like the case of Jegal Min-woo.

[If you don’t like it, can’t you just refuse the test?]

‘I hate having my information left behind. There’s no reason not to.’

[Your information seems to have a greater benefit than being left here.]

‘Because I can’t throw away the chance to get a free attribute.’

[Free trait?]

‘To put it simply… .’

I explained it in as much detail as possible so that Maegu could understand.

Mana has the duality of being a particle and a wave, so it’s simple enough that its nature is fixed by observation.

[It’s difficult. Still, I know roughly. That’s what you guys call the nature of mana.]

‘I understand?’

[When you reach a certain level, you naturally come to know. What kind of device are you using to accelerate it?]

‘I understood correctly.’

It seems that in the past, acquiring the nature of mana was also called the secondary awakening of mana.

However, in the past, only a few strong people who took off to a high level were able to undergo a second awakening.

The great sage studied a way to acquire the nature of mana even at a low level.

In the end, it is said that he invented a measuring device.

‘Thanks to that, I was able to acquire the properties of mana at a lower level than that of a few strong men.’

Although I’ve acquired a few additional characteristics through quests, I don’t feel much of it.

In general, it is extremely rare to have more than one characteristic.

In such a situation, a new characteristic is added, so the impact is inevitable.

[I don’t know who it is, but that great sage is a great guy.]

I am not a great sage for nothing.

In modern terms, it is like inventing the microscope or the X-ray.

‘Of course, since it’s such a great machine, the price is no joke.’

The number of machines themselves is also small, and it is not something that can be measured simply because there is money.

The method of measuring through the association is a simple procedure, but it is also possible to have at least B grade.

Even considering I leave the information here, it’s worth measuring.

‘There are rare cases where the measured mana quality is bad, but I can’t believe it?’

The research building is a place where students don’t even have to set foot for quite a few things.

This is because it is no different from a building made for some clubs and instructors’ hobbies.

As if the performance was not bad, numerous certificates and plaques were displayed at the entrance of the research building.

Other tests don’t take a long time and are over quickly.

All that remains now is mana measurement.

“I’m going to go inside one by one and measure the mana. Before that, students who refuse to take measurements should go this way.”

Several students stood in front of Sumin Lee.

Shin Sung-ah, Namgung-ik, Ben Gibraltar, Yoo Hyeon-hwa, and Eve Ataraxia.

A total of five people.

They are all familiar faces.

‘In the original work, there were only four, excluding Namgungik.’

In this trivial part, it is recognized that it has changed from the original work.

“There are quite a few more than last year. Then, these five people are replaced by abbreviated prosecutors. Let the rest enter in order.”

Attendance numbers are in alphabetical order by name.

Just like the original, Kang Min-hyeok was the first to enter.

And my order is last.

Coincidentally, it was Han So-yul’s turn right before mine.

While confirming that the main character was entering the examination room, I spoke to Han So-yul standing in front of me.

“Are you a famous detective there?”

“Are you calling me?”

She frowned and looked back at me.

The word detective doesn’t seem to like it very much.

It’s my own compliment.

I can’t help it if you don’t like it.

“Would you prefer the Mystery Queen?”

“Just call me that.”

This one doesn’t look good either.

In response, Maegoo covered his mouth with his tail and said with a nuance that seemed to hold back laughter.

[Just call me by name. I think it will give you a pretty funny reaction.]

I don’t listen to maegoo’s advice.

Even when I call other kids, I call them by their last names.

If I called Han So-yul like that, Namgung-ik and Shin Sung-ah would also ask me to call them by their first names.

She lowered her voice and asked me.

“The one you took from Master, how much is left?”

“About a third? I would have stayed by then.”

“What? You took that much and used that much in that short period of time?”

The battle with the devil worshipers was quite intense.

Only a small amount of holy water and silver bullets were left, and I used more potions than I thought.

‘Half of the potions used are as if they were written by Anton.’

Because he lost consciousness and ran wild, the wounds weren’t normal.

Thanks to that, I was able to create a considerable debt, but when will I be able to pay this debt?

I checked the figure of Anton Ivanov in front of me with my arms crossed.

‘I’m sure he’s still thinking about it.’

After all, there was no call from Anton the day before.

It doesn’t matter if you think about it for a few more days, but due to Anton’s personality, he will give you an answer within today.

I don’t know if that’s the answer to accept my recommendation or to reject it.

“… Well, right after that happened, it’s only natural that it was consumed that much.”

The devil worshiper-related incident that occurred during practice was ordered through Principal Kim Chul.

The school tried to minimize the incident as much as possible.

It was because the students who were the parties were talking outside and walking around, so nothing good happened.

‘Since there were no victims, it must not have been that difficult to conceal.’

Han So-yul opened her mouth to say something more, but before she could hear her voice.

bang-

A small explosion sounded from inside the examination room.

‘It looks like it’s broken after all.’

I also remembered this because it was a minor episode from the original story.

Min-Hyuk Kang sends so much energy to the meter that it breaks.

It was such a trivial daily episode.

* * *

When Minhyuk Kang entered the examination room, what he saw was a marble larger than a human head.

The beads floating in the air glowed in five colors depending on the direction of the light.

“I told you to breathe energy into that marble.”

Kang Min-hyeok put his hand on the bead, recalling the explanation he had heard from Instructor Lee Su-min before entering the examination room.

The cool touch of the beads passed through the palms.

Then, I raised my energy from the dantian and started blowing it into beads through my palms.

Like pouring water into a bowl without a bottom, the beads absorbed all of Kang Min-hyuk’s inner strength without resisting it.

“This is strange. How much do you want to enter?”

Kang Min-hyeok, who suddenly had that thought, added the other hand to increase the amount of energy he poured into the beads with both hands.

The five-colored, transparent aura instantly turned dark and dull.

Honwon Singong’s Honwon machine.

It was a pure and innocent energy that did not have the muddyness unique to Magicong.

The black aura of the Honwongi had something that made the viewer feel fear and fear.

Soon after, the five-colored transparent marbles began to be dyed in Kang Min-hyuk’s color.

Beep- Beep-

An alarm sounded, and the red light inside the examination room began to flicker.

Kang Min-hyeok, who was closing his eyes to concentrate on infusing the ball with energy, could not hear any sound.

As a result.

pop!

The bead, which had been dyed in Kang Min-hyuk’s color, eventually burst without being able to overcome the amount.

Shards of marbles exploded as they shattered into the ceiling and walls like grenades.

Shrapnel splattered on Kang Min-hyuk’s body, but there were no scratches on his body.

He calmed down the energy he had raised and opened his eyes.

“uh… .”

Inside the room where the light flickers.

A marble that has been shattered without even remaining its original shape.

A machine that smokes.

Kang Min-hyeok was at a loss for words at the scene.

“This, can’t be fixed with instant glue, right?”

It’s because he broke a seemingly expensive machine.

Soon after, Instructor Lee Soo-min entered the examination room.

“… … .”

She, too, silently closed her eyes at the scene of the disaster.

This is because the thought of writing a statement of reason, circumstances, and even a statement of speech made my head dizzy.
