Parallel World Academy - Parallel World Academy chapter 139

Episode 139 This is not a trip! (1)

* * *

­Boom!

When he pulled out his digging fists, the pile shattered and collapsed forward.

It was not at a level comparable to that of Katarina’s first kill, but considering the durability of the dummy that was driven by the ability to defend, this was still not enough firepower to kneel anywhere.

‘When I first came here, I had a hard time even making just a few strands of thread. Compared to that time, it has achieved tremendous growth.’

Even so, it was still an unsettling feeling.

It feels as if growth has stopped.

If you’ve already reached your limit, it’s going to be very difficult.

“As rumored, the growth is very steep… Would this be comparable to B-level heroes?”

“I think that would be enough if the apprentice hero rather than the veteran hero was the standard.”

“But why are you so dark?”

“It feels like growth has stopped.”

“Well, I’m not Seongjin himself, so I don’t know exactly what the situation is, but it’s very frustrating when that happens. If you’re going through a slump, I don’t think it’s a bad idea to take a break for a while and clear your mind. Aren’t you on vacation right now?”

slump.

I don’t feel that way.

I think I’m already resting well.

“I don’t think it’s a slump. I think I’m resting well enough.”

“Hey, how does it rest? Living in the training ground every day. If you don’t know, why don’t you go on a trip somewhere? Of course, if you’re a student at Sungjin’s age, it’s fun to do anything as long as you go out.”

In the past, I used to think that every time I went abroad, it was a trip.

I thought that when office workers go on business trips abroad, they are half way to play.

But when I actually experienced it, it wasn’t.

When I went to South Africa to catch Irina and when I went to Russia to catch Jinjo, I felt it deeply.

If work is the purpose, it can never be a trip.

Thinking like that, traveling for the purpose of rest was not a bad option.

“It’s a trip, so seeing it again, I think it’s a good idea.”

“Yes?”

In the first place, my main purpose was not to travel.

The purpose is to meet Priscilla and Aina.

You can’t just go on a date at the academy forever, isn’t it?

Even if it’s a long-distance relationship, we have to meet sometimes.

Before, we could give an excuse that we were busy because of each other’s circumstances, but now we are not.

We have quite a bit of free time until school starts, so we can spend a fairly long time together.

About 2 weeks in the UK and 1 week in Japan should be enough.

Of course, it’s not like Priscilla’s preference for the schedule was like this.

It’s because there are people in the UK that I need to meet on a regular basis.

Excluding the time to meet him, the time spent with Priscilla was practically about a week.

“Then I’ll just go inside. It’s getting close to closing time here too. You have to plan your itinerary.”

“Yes, Sungjin students, have a good vacation too!”

As soon as I get home, I’ll have to call them both.

* * *

Fortunately, both of them seemed to have time to meet during the vacation.

Not right now.

Priscilla said she would be able to make time in a few days, and Aina seemed to have to wait longer because she was busy with the family business.

Still, in a way, this might be better.

Because it feels more comfortable to play after dealing with annoying things first.

Then, I’ll have to go to England and meet Nihilis first.

That person would know very well why my growth stopped.

Even Priscilla might be able to find some time when it comes to solving the problem.

“It happens that you come to see me. It’s surprising. Did you finally have a sense of respect?”

“Sometimes you talk as if I was negligent.”

“done. So, why did you come all the way to Glenryunark?”

“Growth seems to have stopped.”

Nihilis slightly adjusted her posture and sat down.

Because of the mask, I couldn’t tell what the expression underneath it was like, but it didn’t seem like a good complexion like the uncomfortable posture.

“Growth has stopped… That’s not good news. There are some rough spots, but you won’t know unless you check them out. Come closer.”

“yes.”

Chuck’s eyes (?) scanned my every corner.

Those eyes were getting colder and colder, so I couldn’t help but feel anxious.

“I can’t believe it. It is unbelievable even if it is the body of a person who has trained all his life. No, it’s safe to say that this mana affinity is more than the old-fashioned swordsmanship. Just like that guy back then.”

“Yes?”

“I don’t think I decided to go on an affair knowing that. Looks like someone with a lot of knowledge has touched your body. Someone who is so outstanding that even I can’t reach. It is a perfect procedure with no frills to the extent that it is true that external measures were taken.”

He seemed to be referring to the terrible biological experiments that Chloe was conducting.

I’m surprised

Despite knowing that Chloe had been operated on, Nihilis remained calm.

Clearly, like the gangsters appearing in the martial arts papers, ‘It’s magic!’, ‘You’ve done a dirty trick!’ I thought it would be crowded with the same noise.

I felt a bit of anger, though.

“Aren’t you angry or not?”

“Looks like there’s something to be excited about. Let me explain.”

“Well, I was subjected to a strange experiment by Chairman Chloe Lumiel. In the name of increasing the mana affinity of the body.”

“It’s not good news. I felt like I had lost my disciple to someone else. On the other hand, the procedure itself is very precise. I wondered who the hell was it to be able to do this, but Chloe makes sense.”

This is high precision.

It was a procedure that only made me think that I had just shoved it in with a pep talk.

“So, why did the growth stop have anything to do with the procedure? Why did you say it was an affair?”

“Don’t explain why.”

… !

Nihilis’ fist filled with flesh slid into my shoulder.

The moment I was about to close my eyes, thinking that this crazy dementia villain has finally revealed his true nature and I am going to die.

Feeling strange, I opened my eyes slightly.

The pain I felt in my shoulder was nothing more than when I was playing pranks with my friends.

“What are you kidding me about? I thought you were going to die.”

“It’s not a joke. Because it was a serious attack.”

“Then you were trying to kill me.”

“Yeah, I was sure you wouldn’t die.”

What the hell is this nonsense?

Still, he didn’t get angry or angry.

Since last year, Nihilis has always been a yangban who has been teaching in this way.

Of course, I’m not saying it’s normal for me to casually accept this crazy training method.

“So, why didn’t I die?”

“There are different kinds of skills in spirituality. Of course, it also includes some fist techniques for dogfighting. My attack is also like that.”

“Then the damage done by mana would be greater than the physical damage.”

“right. It’s the same reason why you didn’t take damage. You have more mana in your body than the mana in my fist, so it doesn’t do any damage. The difference in density is that extreme.”

should i like it?

I don’t know.

It would be a significant advantage in battles between Awoken that use mana as a direct attack element like Nana and Nihilis, but unfortunately, there were not many such Awoken in the world.

The only thing I got at the huge price of growth was ‘a small advantage of being able to counter some specific Awakened’.

Rather, it seems like a loss to me.

“You look very humble for the abilities you get at the cost of your growth.”

“No, other people would not have stopped growing. Because of you, growth has stopped.”

“What do you mean?”

“Didn’t Chloe say that? Your character is immovable.”

“It was.”

“There is a limit to the amount of mana that can be controlled. Mana affinity is also directly proportional to that. In other words, the amount of mana striding through your body cannot be that much as it is. However, your body is receiving an amount of mana that is far beyond the limit of the amount of mana you can control due to the effect of the procedure. Do you understand what the situation is now?”

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

My body has an enormous amount of mana beyond my control, and this mana doesn’t move under the influence of immobility, which is my nature, so it feels like it’s not growing.

The logic itself seemed plausible, but my question still remained unanswered.

So, shouldn’t growth be felt when mana control is increased?

“However, I haven’t been able to feel any changes in recent years. It really feels like growth has stopped.”

“That’s why I called it an affair. It has side effects.”

“What are the side effects?”

“You don’t control your mana, you control your body. You have to immobilize mana, but mana immobilizes you, so growth has stopped.”

Suddenly Chloe became resentful.

How can you force a procedure that has such an important side effect without telling you about it?

It would have been better not to have the surgery, but looking back, it wasn’t.

Because of my good looks, I have gained a lot from this and that.

“So, how do I get it back to normal?”

“There are two ways.”

“What?”

“The first is to blow away all the magic in your body with my third ability. Of course, the effect of the procedure will almost disappear.”

“It’s a method I don’t really like. The other one?”

“It’s a way to force your body to circulate mana by moving your body. There are other ways to reconstruct the body through drug administration and surgery to move mana, but this is not a recommended method, so I did not put it on the proposal line.”

not.

Rather, it could be said that the last method is the best in the current situation.

By the way, Serena, who lives in England, doesn’t possess Elixir and various other elixir and artifacts.

If it were such a drug, it would have almost no side effects, unlike other drugs.

“If that’s the case, it looks like I can solve it to some extent.”

“In the beginning, there was only one option. The only way is to work harder than you are now.”

“No, I know someone who has a lot of magical elixir and artifacts. I’m going to ask him.”

Nihilis shook her head in shock.

“There is no manly spirit, no ambition, no romance. There is nothing more rewarding and more satisfying than solving a problem on your own. How can you achieve your goals by being so lazy and dependent on others?”

“You talk too much. Say it’s efficient.”

“Hello, do you really think you are an efficient person? What’s the point of efficiently dealing with all sorts of inefficient things? Efficient people don’t create inefficient jobs in the first place.”

The words that stabbed Jungkok did not stop and continued to fly.

Even the nagging man was Nihilis, so I had no choice but to listen.

Even Serena wouldn’t be nagging like this, would it?

Please don’t.
