The Greatest Man in the World Hides His Power - The Greatest Man in the World Hides His Power chapter 21

21 – Research that should not be done – 3

After the choir practice was over and I was about to leave the temple, a person in a school uniform approached me.

“Are you Cheonyoung?”

“Yes, but…”

“Sage Cecil is looking for you.”

Good timing. Following his guidance, she returned to Cecil’s room, where she was waiting. Over her usual clothes, a white gown, she put her hands in her pockets and put on her grave expression.

“Are you done watching the academy?”

“Yes. I did a good enchantment.”

“What did you do?”

I played the song I had just recorded and she broke into a cold sweat.

“No, why?”

“Isn’t it nice?”

“Hmm. Well, that’s because it’s your own mind… Well, anyway, fine. Then I’d like you to help me with the experiment…”

“What is it?”

“Hold that demonic sword. Ah. Not now. Others will come soon.”

After she spoke, people came into her lab. After briefly greeting Cecile, they approached me and held out their hands.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Diago Lance of the School of Wallen.”

“I’m Chunyoung. I’m currently working for Starin Youngji.”

“I heard a story from Sage Cecil. He is from another world?”

“Yes. I came from the world where this Taegeuk demon sword exists.”

“Ohhhhh wem we

Because I am a scholar who studies other worlds, he was quite positive about me.

Diago was happy to talk with other scholars, and it warmed his heart to see them like that.

To think that my presence is of any help to them. It’s my first time experiencing something like this, so it’s a bit awkward.

“Shall we begin soon? Chunyoung. Hold up the Taegeuk demon sword.”

As she instructed, I held the Taegeuk Demon Sword in my hand. Was it because of the warning last time? Instead of screaming, the Taegeuk Demon Sword was quietly held in my hand.

“Huh. It’s the first time I’ve seen that piece look so calm.”

“How did you do it?”

“Do you have any mental pressure?”

“Can I catch it too?”

Excited scholars asked me questions or asked me with their eyes shining, and I answered their questions as kindly as I could.

Of course I didn’t swing the sword. It would be dangerous if sword spirits flew in this narrow place.

We decided to go outside for behavioral experiments, and other simple experiments and studies followed.

Looking around my body with strange equipment, or putting a small crown on my head. Or draw some blood. And so on.

After the tedious but not unpleasant experiment, everyone looked satisfied.

“Okay! Let’s go out and do the rest of the behavioral experiments!”

I’m excited.

Excited scholars took me outside, and as if they had already heard the story, other researchers came toward us and were looking at us with interest.

“This is Sir Torben from the Faculty of Knights who participated in this experiment.”

It was a swordsman dressed in armor. He was big and had a serious taste, and he bowed his head at me.

“I heard that you are quite talented. Please take good care of me. Torben is lost.”

“This is Chunyoung. Then…”

This is an experiment in which I attack and Torben blocks it.

You can use sword skills just by swinging the Taegeuk Demon Sword.

However, it is said that until now, there was a phenomenon where the spirit of the Taegeuk demon sword swayed, and the more the sword skill was used, the more the spirit tasted.

But it seems to be different for me, so they say they test how much they can do.

“Start!”

Thorben raises his shield. That looks pretty expensive, can I do it? I glanced at her in Cecil’s direction, and she nodded her head. If so.

– Sudden!!

“…Ugh.”

A deep blue sword soared from the Taegeuk Demon Sword, and I swung the sword without hesitation. Single blow. Torben, who had been staring blankly at the simply cut shield, was frightened, and the scholars looked at the shield with a serious expression and said,

“Even the Aintel alloy is cut so neatly.”

“Only mithril can block the sword. I’ll try again with a mithril shield.”

“Bring me a mithril shield!”

After a while, the shield was replaced. Equipped with a white shield tinged with soft light, Thorben looked at me nervously and said,

“The power of that sword might be… But I think I could have known it with just one blow. Cheonyeong-nim. It’s an honor to face such a great swordsman.”

“Huh? What do you mean by that?”

“That man. He is very strong.”

Perhaps it’s probably because he’s a warrior, he has the ability to recognize an opponent’s skill with just one swing of his sword.

I just smiled rather than say anything, and Thorben raised his shield with a more serious expression than before.

“Start!”

– Sudden!!

It was cut again.

But honestly, I don’t think you can cut it with just an iron sword, not a magic sword.

Anyway, the scholars got serious when the mithril shield was neatly cut in half like the Aintel alloy shield.

“Didn’t you break through the mithril shield last time?”

“It is a mithril shield that can block the sword sword…”

“How did you do it?”

In the midst of everyone panicking, Torben slightly raised his hand.

“It’s probably because Cheonyoung’s skills are amazing.”

Correct answer. I’m not affiliated with the Knights Faculty for nothing.

Contrary to Torben’s gaze, which looked at me with respect, the scholars’ expressions began to change into embarrassment.

“If that’s the case, the calculations are a bit different… The goal is to make a sword that even people without skills can use, but if this is the case…”

When everyone started whispering, I held out the Taegeuk Demon Sword to Thorben.

“Let’s change it.”

“Hmm. It’s a bit difficult for me to hold that sword…”

Thorben was reluctant, saying that he had participated in an experiment before and passed out after not using it for a while.

But now it will be different.

Because I have successfully finished talking with Taegeuk Demon Sword. Not much, but to some extent possible.

Even if you get captured by a demonic sword, I can rescue you because I am there.

Everyone was making embarrassing expressions, so I tapped the blade of the Taegeuk Demon Sword and said.

“Let’s not get tired, okay?”

– ……

There was no answer, but isn’t silence originally an affirmation? While holding the blade of the Taegeuk Demon Sword, I held it out to him, and Thorben, who hesitated, hesitantly grabbed the hilt.

“… Huh? Are you really okay?”

“Oh, how did you do that!? That!”

“Hey! Torben! Last time, you let out a painful scream as soon as you squeezed it! Are you okay?!”

“No, that’s… I don’t know. I don’t think there’s anything special…”

“Anyway, this is a good opportunity! Experiment quickly!”

Scholars start to make a fuss. As the shields began to drop, I raised them. And the test started.

The blue sword began to split the shields, and after the tenth shield was shattered, Thorben demanded that the experiment be stopped.

Looks like the pressure is creeping in.

I retrieved the sword from his hand and Cecil came up to me and asked.

“Did you do it?”

“I guess so. Would you like to give it a try?”

“I passed out after trying to squeeze it once… I’m sure it’ll be okay.”

“It’ll be fine. Once or twice.”

I saw the Taegeuk Demon Sword in my hand, and he didn’t answer this time either.

After hesitating, she put her Taegeuk magic sword in her hand.

“…It’s real. Then you can’t miss this opportunity.”

Start the test with her own body. Once, twice. And just as I was about to swing it for the third time, she held out her sword to me with a hard complexion.

It seems that this is the limit for Cecil.

“Sorry.”

“Does it seem helpful?”

“Yes. I felt the magic react when I wielded the Taegeuk Demon Sword. It felt like the sword energy created by the sword was composed based on the magic…”

It’s magic. The Taegeuk Demon Sword absorbs natural energy and emits it as a sword.

Perhaps the magic sword absorbs it because there is something special about it.

I told them what I was thinking, and Cecil and the scholars started exchanging opinions with serious expressions.

It’s hard for me to join because it’s so professional.

That’s why I approached Torben, who was standing as awkward as I was.

“Your skills are amazing.”

“I’m good enough to protect myself. And I saw you wielding a sword earlier, and Sir Torben doesn’t seem to be an ordinary person either… Are you an instructor at the academy?”

“hahahaha. Yes. It’s embarrassing, but I’m holding an instructor position. By the way, you said you work at the Stein estate, right? If you want, I’d like to invite you as an instructor for the Academy’s Faculty of Engineering…”

“I’ll think about it.”

Thorben felt sorry for me when he realized that my words were a refusal. But that’s all. He didn’t recommend any more.

“Cheonyoung. At this rate, you won’t have to participate in the experiment for a while.”

“It’s over sooner than I thought.”

“Because I got the results I needed faster than I thought. The rest is the domain of research and development.”

“Then don’t we need more help?”

“Yes. Shall I send it back?”

I heard that you can go back to the Stein estate through teleport magic. You don’t have to waste time on unnecessary travel, so let’s do that.

After greeting the other scholars and Torben, she returned to her lab. While she waited inside, she went outside and returned with a large bag in her hand.

“You’ve been very helpful. I’d like to ask you another favor next time. This is a gift from Sage Diago and other sages. They say it’s a reward for helping with the experiment.”

It’s a reward for helping with the experiment.

I didn’t really want it, but I’m just grateful that they took care of me like this.

“But what is all this?”

“Artifacts, as well as information, passes, and certificates of their country. If you use them when you have to go to another country, you will be treated like a VIP. Oh. And I also put magic arrows in them.”

There are so many types of artifacts that it was difficult to explain each one individually. “I wrote down the details,” She pointed to her bag, and I nodded her head and took her bag.

“I’ll let you go now.”

Standing on top of the magic circle inside the lab, Cecil lightly recited a spell. The magic circle shines while he speaks words that are difficult to pronounce.

“Then see you next time.”

“Be healthy.”

“You too.”

Her grin disappears in an instant. And what appeared was a small stone chamber.

When I opened the door and went out, I saw a staircase. Is this underground?

At that moment, I heard a familiar voice from above. As I climbed the stairs, I saw a familiar face.

They were Lucy, Elan, and Atram.

“Oh, are you here already?”

“You came quickly.”

“Are you done?”

What is it? What about this comfort?

It’s only been a few days since I’ve been in the manor, but I feel like I’m really at home. I’ve never felt anything like this when I was in Moorim.

“Oh my God? What’s wrong?”

“hahahaha. No.”

I smiled at her while trying to hold back her body being itchy for no reason.

“I’m back.”

“Whoops. Welcome.”
