NOVEL WEB Chapter 228 - Transcendence Academy (1)
“Hmm...”
At the earnest request of the mentor...
To be precise, at the director's request, Seo-jun was lost in thought for a moment.
Being the director of the Transcendent Academy meant the highest being in the academy.
To put it simply, it could be said to be the highest level transcendentalist among the transcendentalists.
The second transcendental person across all dimensions.
The current level of Seo-jun could not have guessed at all.
Come to think of it, it was none other than the director who told Seo-jun that Samdanjeon was possible.
The role of the Transcendentalist Academy in Geojin was absolute for Seo-jun to grow up to this point.
That's why, if the director earnestly asked for something like that, Seo-jun couldn't just ignore it.
of course.
‘If I take away the coupon, then I can lie down on my stomach.'
No matter how much the director was, it was not.
A dimensional madman who held both hands and feet even for observers.
Would it be an exception if he was the director of the transcendent academy?
‘But I can't believe it, he's a freshman at his academy... I'm not going to kill him.'
After thinking this far, Seojun raised his head.
Then he said to the mentor who was lost in spirit.
“yes. great. Let's talk for a minute. How can I do it?”
< Hot! yes! Wait a minute! >
The mentor suddenly came to his senses and answered. And
that was the very moment
the mentor had finished speaking .
Bad-.
In an instant, a cheerful sound was heard.
From that point on, my ears felt like they were filled with water.
As if time has stopped.
It's as if the sound penetrates the space.
A thick tinnitus began to be heard.
“...... what?”
It was exactly the same feeling as immediately after casting Collapse of Everything.
Soon, countless dots began to appear in the space where Seo-jun was.
Soon after, the background began to fade and turn inside out as if the space was being colored.
A strange feeling as if space is overlapping space.
In an instant, the background itself changed.
Seo-joon was standing in front of a huge building.
a huge building?
Seo-jun tilted his head at the foreign scenery that suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
The building was large enough to say it was gigantic.
It was as high as if it soared through the sky...
No, it really soared through the sky.
Even if I lifted my head all the way, I couldn't see the end.
There was literally no end in sight.
To the extent that I doubt whether that height can be built.
Moreover, the floor was not the ground, but fluffy white clouds.
In a word, a huge building floating on the clouds.
It looked like what heavenly beings would do if they set up a company.
It was not difficult for Seo-joon to notice that this building was an academy for transcendentalists.
< Oh my God! oh my god! This is ridiculous! >
At that moment, I heard a shout like a shout from a mentor.
The mentor's face was stained with astonishment.
He was muttering something to himself with his eyes wide open.
< I... never thought I'd come to the head office with Kim Seo-joon... No, how can I not be a transcendentalist, but a beginner...?! >
Then the mentor turned his head and looked at Seo-joon.
Then he shouted with a face as if to answer quickly.
< How can that be? yes? How on earth! >
“If you ask me about that…?”
< Nonsense! This is so ridiculous!! >
How... I felt like I was out of my mind.
Seo-joon left such a mentor and
moved toward the front gate of the transcendent academy.
< Let's go together! >
The mentor hurriedly followed Seo-joon.
“Can I go in here…?”
Seo-joon opened the front door of the academy.
Then, what Seo-jun saw were beings with small bodies like mentors.
It's like hundreds of thousands of people handling their busy work.
was wandering around.
< Instructor Hermes, how are you? Haha It's no different, the deadline for the lecture is coming soon. I was wondering if you could make the deadline on time. >
< It's okay, kid. Not like a Shiba instructor, be intimidated by the evaluation of beginners. yes? Are you saying you want to destroy all the beginners you evaluated? Now wait...! >
There are people who handle business by making phone calls here and there.
< Oops! Instructor Loki's lecture was not uploaded! >
< Again? Instructor Loki, why are you so late these days? >
< I don't know! I don't know what's happened recently. >
< The director didn't even nod even though he was scolded, so why ? < How much causal and finances are left at the academy right now? >
< Not much.... Recently, I've been devastated by a new student. >
< Ha, I'm going to have to cancel all other event plans. >
Small talk while looking at the documents. to those who share.
Thousands of beings similar to mentors were working without a break.
He looked really busy without batting an eye.
“Whoa...”
Seo-joon exclaimed at the sight of the Transcendent Academy for the first time.
And just then.
“Who are you?”
I heard someone calling Seo-jun.
There, I looked, there was a being with an ibis head.
Seeing that bizarre appearance, Seo-joon tilted his head involuntarily.
“Who is it? I don't think he's a new Transcendentalist?」
Eventually, the mentor took a step forward and bowed his head.
< Hello. Thoth. >
Thoth.
He was the god of knowledge and records in Egyptian mythology.
Thoth had the ability to record everything in the world.
And the book containing all these secrets is the Book of Thoth.
It was a superdimensional information collection commonly known as the ‘Akashic Records'.
Thoth nodded slightly at the mentor's greeting.
Then he pointed at Seo-jun with his finger and asked the mentor.
“Who is this person? No matter how you look at it, it looks like a beginner... How did a beginner come to the head office of the academy? Did you bring it, Mentor?」
Mentor shook his head and said.
< No. This is Seojun Kim. You're a beginner in the Earth dimension... The director called you directly for an interview. >
「Irina directly? What nonsense is that… Ah.」
Thoth raised his eyes slightly as if he remembered something.
Then he looked at Seo-joon and said.
“Are you that guy?”
“Do you know me?”
Thoth slowly nodded at Seo-jun's question.
“Everyone knows. Is there anyone in the head office of the academy who doesn't know you?”
Thoth let out a little laugh before continuing.
「So, if I could give you one piece of advice, don’t reveal your identity here.」
“Yes? Why?”
Thoth looked around instead of answering.
Seo-joon followed Thoth and looked around.
< No, why are the people and finances of alternative academies like this! >
< Who are you! What kind of freshman did this to evade cause and effect! >
There were more people there, covering their heads in agony.
Thoth spat out words toward Seo-jun.
“Perhaps… they might try to kill you.”
“…?”
Seo-joon tilted his head as he did not understand Thoth's words.
Thoth continued with a small sigh.
“Stop going up. Irina will be waiting for you.”
Eventually, Thoth hurriedly walked away and disappeared.
< Let's go too. >
Seo-joon followed his mentor.
#
The place I followed my mentor to was an elevator.
Of course, it was not the concept of an elevator on Earth.
To be precise, it could be called an elevator capable of teleportation.
< The director's office is the most rooftop, so teleportation is essential! >
Seo-joon was able to nod his head enough.
From the outside, the height of the building could not even be seen.
No matter how transcendental, it seemed difficult to go up and down that height.
‘What kind of existence is the director of the Transcendent Academy?'
Seo-joon waited for the elevator to operate with a mixed feeling of anticipation and tension.
So little time passes.
Woo woo woo.
I felt a strange magic power, and my vision reversed for an instant.
and then flash again.
Seo-joon was standing in a clear forest.
of course.
This, too, was not the concept of a forest on Earth.
However, the word forest was the most appropriate to describe the visible scenery.
“Is this...?”
Seojun slowly looked around.
The scenery Seo-joon saw was so cozy.
Cozy and warm.
clear and lively.
Would it be like this if we brought positive concepts that exist in the world? It
was an atmosphere that could only be felt by mixing it harmoniously,
rather than simply bringing it .
One end of the field of vision that looked around like that.
There, two silhouettes suddenly appeared.
One was of a beautiful woman with long blonde hair, and
the other was of a certain monkey.
“huh?”
monkey?
Seojun tilted his head involuntarily.
It was also because there were not many statues of monkeys that could be seen at the Transcendent Academy.
[He rarely showed up. Why did I suddenly call you, lady?]
Sure enough, the voice I heard was also quite familiar.
〔Are you asking because you really don't know?〕
[Sure. If I knew, would I have asked?]
〔I'm sure you don't know that the academy lost cause and effect because of the lecture Jecheon Daesung took.〕
[What is that. It's a causal thing that's meant to be used anyway. What do you do with a causal stack? No, but wasn't that something the observer had to pay for?]
〔There were circumstances, so we paid
for it.〕 [What's the matter? Then it's the lady's fault.]
Daesung Jecheon picked up his nose lightly.
[Anyway, there is such a thing as the right line. What on earth did you think of filming those two lectures? Without even looking at it?]
[Because he asked me to take a picture? And the mentor said nothing. Why does this only happen to me?]
[Because the instructor has a higher authority. So Jecheon Daesung should have said no. If you're a lecturer, it's the instructor's job to guide first-timers on the right path, just like a lecturer.]
[I was going to do that too. But he usually has to be crazy. Director, you wouldn't be able to talk like that if you dealt with him yourself
,
right?
At that moment, a clear sound rang out.
Then, the two beings who were far away came to Seo-jun's eyes in an instant.
Exactly whether it is approaching or approaching.
I couldn't tell.
axis method? teleportation?
Rather, it was as if the space itself had been transformed.
‘What is this...?'
Seo-jun could not hide his bewildered feeling.
I don't know if I know Seo-jun's feelings.
[female! Long time no see!]
Daeseong Jecheon shouted, raising his hands high.
Jecheon Daeseong was looking at Seojun with his signature playful expression.
[No. You've been seeing me in lectures for a long time, isn't it?]
Daeseong Jecheon giggled.
Seo-joon suddenly came to his senses at the appearance of Jecheon Daeseong and asked.
“Instructor? Why is the instructor here?”
Then Daeseong Jecheon frowned slightly.
Then he pointed to the side with his finger and said.
[Because the lady called here.]
Auntie?
Seo-joon followed Jecheon Dae-seong's fingers and turned his gaze.
And there was a woman who had been fighting with Jecheon Daeseong until just now.
Long downcast blonde hair and pointy ears.
The possessor of beauty comparable to Aphrodite and Freya, whom we just saw in the 6th level of the mental subject of the mock exam for transcendentalists.
“Elf...?”
She was none other than an elf.
〔nice to meet you. I'm Irina, the director of the Transcendent Academy.]
Irina greeted her gracefully.
Seo-joon looked at Irina in awe.
That this person is the director of the transcendent academy...
Seo-joon couldn't believe it at all.
[It's hard to believe.]
At Irina's point-blank words, Seo-joon laughed awkwardly.
“Haha, actually... it's very different from the director's image I had in mind.”
〔What kind of image did you think of?〕
“That... a very strong image? There is also a sense of being seasoned, nimble, and cool-headed. But to think that she was this beautiful...”
Irina responded with a bright smile at Seo-jun's words.
[It's been a while since I've heard the word beauty, right? I've heard of it a lot before transcending.]
Then Daeseong Jecheon opened his mouth as if to stop being funny.
[What was it like in the past? It's almost like a story from the beginning. To be honest, you should call me an old grandma instead of an ajumma─.]
That moment.
Wow!
[Quew!]
Suddenly, Jecheon Daeseong screamed and fell to the floor.
Jecheon Daeseong was stuck on the floor and struggling
as if it had been weighed down by an enormous weight .
[This profit!!]
Jecheon Daeseong tried with all his might to escape from the weight.
But for some reason, I couldn't get out of it.
[Ah Okay! I was wrong, so get rid of this!]
In the end, Daesung Jecheon was only released after he declared surrender.
[Anyway, there's no such thing as a monster...]
Jecheon Daeseong shook his head in disgust.
“......”
Seo-joon was momentarily at a loss for words.
That would also be the case, this was the academy for transcendentalists.
In a word, an extra-dimensional space without causal restrictions.
Jecheon Daeseong was in a state where he could use his full power.
‘But Jecheon Daeseong still can't wear side?'
Seojun looked at Irina with surprised eyes.
Irina was acting like she hadn't done anything.
In fact, Seo-jun could not detect any energy from Irina.
The director of the Transcendent Academy.
The second transcendental person in the entire universe.
The strongest among the current Transcendentalists.
Irina slowly turned her head and looked at Seojun.
I didn't feel any sign of such Irina.
Even so, I felt a tremendous pressure.
[I'll tell you directly. The causal and financial situation of our transcendent academy is currently not good.]
[There are complicated circumstances... To put it simply, the free coupon Kim Seo-joon received from the observer.]
Irina hesitated at the moment.
His expression was as if he was using the word free coupon.
〔anyway. There was a problem with our academy bearing the cause and effect for it. SS grade customized lecture. As these two things were combined, it took a huge cause and effect.]
〔Besides, he took it to Gungnir a while ago, so it became a direct hit. So this time, the discount event Kim Seo-joon got...]
Irina smiled and continued.
[I don't think I can give it to you.]
Seo-joon looked at Irina without answering.
The strongest transcendentalist who couldn't even write Jecheon Daeseong.
A creepy presence began to be felt all around her.
Seo-joon looked down for a moment and was lost in thought.
I was silent for a while, lost in thought.
How much time passed like that.
“...... great.”
Seojun slowly opened his mouth.
Irina crossed her palms, as if thinking very well.
And then, he took back the presence he had radiated.
Then he smiled brightly and opened his mouth.
[Thank you for your understanding. The academy's causality and finances were not good, so the benefits of other first-year students were lacking—.]
It's a joke.
[...... Huh?]
But Irina couldn't bear to finish her words.
That was also because Seo-jun suddenly sprawled out on his bed.
And a word from Seojun that followed.
“Twice.”
[...?]
Irina's expression went blank for a moment.
But Seo-joon continued as if he hadn't even thought about it.
“To give up with no other alternative? That's not it.”
really.
Irina really had no idea.
And the two beings who were watching it.
< Ha, I knew it would be like this. That's why I told you many times that I shouldn't meet you, Director... >
The mentor shook his head and hit his forehead with the palm of his hand.
[Puhahahahaha!! Ha ha ha ha! you are really the best! It's the best!]
Jecheon Daeseong burst into laughter as if dying of laughter.
He then shouted at Irina, who was dumbfounded.
[I told you, you lady! That guy is a real dimensional madman! Puha puhhahahahahaha!]
Jecheon Daeseong started rolling around on the floor.
Seeing the two of them like that,
even if they had an accident, it seemed like they had an accident.
I don't know what it is...
What do you mean know!
I opened my eyes and got a free coupon!
“no! If you think about it, yes! Then why don’t you do an event from the beginning!”
[...]
“At least I'll give you another substitute! You should give me a deal like this. The event is just invalid! If you say things like this, what will I become after all my hardships?”
How many times did I struggle to get my score down!
Even the transcendental mock test required 3 days to take the test for the next subject.
Seojun took two mock exams.
In a word, it meant that I had been thinking about it for two months.
Are you going to rip off that effort in an instant?
Nonsense!
“I don’t know. me too.”
Seo-joon spoke again as if he didn't understand.
“Twice.”
Irina looked at Seo-joon lying down with a blank expression.
< I don't know... I don't know... >
[Puhaha puhahahahaha!]
The mentor and Jecheon Daeseong were watching the current situation with different emotions.
What kind of feelings did Irina feel as an observer?
Why did you suddenly come to me and say that?
[It's not like this...]
I could understand a little.
