The Reincarnate Became a Professor at the Academy

Getting out of the boundary was simple.

The principal, Kwon Sora.

And requesting from Neo Seunghwa, who was pretending to be the Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor.

But that plan hit a snag from the very start.

"It's a bit difficult right now."

Kwon Sora said with an awkward smile.

"Because I'm also reaching a dangerous level of karma depletion."

"Karma?"

"Karma. There's something here that measures the damage inflicted on demons and demon gods. You can receive rightful karma from it."

Was there really something like that?

It was quite convenient.

'Then how much karma do I have?'

I single-handedly sent a demon king to his doom.

To be precise, the Duke of Extermination helped too.

But the biggest share was mine.

'If it weren't for the flesh of the demon god, I wouldn't have been able to kill the demon king.'

It was about time to receive my settlement.

The gods always gave me something whenever I killed a demon-related entity.

'And this too.'

[Calculating your achievement for killing the Demon King…]

A week had passed.

Yet, they were still calculating the achievement.

'This so-called system.'

What on earth was it doing?

"Moreover, they recently brought another student over."

"A student?"

"Yes!"

Who was it?

Before I could even ask, the answer came.

A voice came from behind. A very familiar voice.

Accompanied by a presence.

Six tyrannical sword strikes.

'Well, well.'

I let out a wry laugh in disbelief. When was the last time?

Since I had such a provocative encounter.

'Most of my students stopped attacking me at some point.'

It was inevitable.

I used to think that.

If one had talent, they came to realize just how exceptional the talents and things I possessed were.

And naturally, they came to revere or respect me.

Yet, the level of attacks decreased, and the frequency increased.

But this one was different.

Turning around, I instinctively prepared the Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique.

"Master."

A quiet voice.

Firm eyes came into view.

Green hair tied back fluttered behind them.

Behind it was the form of an Asura.

Six arms moved simultaneously.

'A bit disappointing.'

A form of Asura similar to the Limitless Soul.

It behaved differently from its user. To be precise, it was the user's alter ego.

Thus, the regrettable aspects stood out more.

'Should I show it, or not?'

Limitless Soul.

I was contemplating whether to reveal it.

It was generally better to show it, referencing my Limitless Soul and strengthening one's own strengths.

Or sometimes erasing weaknesses.

In that sense, the guy attacking me now was likely to be influenced by my Limitless Soul.

'Whether it's negative or positive.'

Most of the time, it was the former.

As I said, most geniuses despaired when they saw me.

There weren't many who used my power as a stepping stone to rise.

'Since when did I care about such things?'

I chuckled softly.

When did I ever care about such things?

Limitless Soul.

A gray giant revealed itself behind me.

A being with two pairs of arms appeared behind me.

"Hup!"

"Heup!"

The ones seeing the Limitless Soul for the first time gasped.

"Wow."

It wasn't a voice of being overwhelmed.

Nor was it a voice filled with despair.

It was simply admiration.

As if to prove her combative nature, Seo Boram was smiling at me.

She shifted her gaze towards the Limitless Soul.

Swoosh!

A sword strike approached me.

The Limitless Soul extended one hand. The Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique couldn't be used.

However, the body condensed with the Ultimate Art could easily deflect Seo Boram's attack made of strong energy.

Tap tap.

She lightly deflected it with her hand. But Seo Boram hadn't only prepared for that.

She had condensed her sword force to the limit.

Six sword paths were drawn in the air.

Heavy, swift, changing, slow, soft.

'Oh?'

It changed.

It wasn't the sword technique I had taught.

No, it was, but…

'Did she make it her own?'

If Nam Hyerin had followed the sword technique I taught as a standard.

Seo Boram had made it more suitable for herself.

"The sword technique has changed?"

"I can't keep wearing clothes that don't fit!"

She seemed to be speaking informally, just a little.

But she was still far from reaching her peak.

Whoosh!

The Limitless Soul moves according to my will. I blocked Seo Boram's attack with the back of my hand.

At the same time, I moved as well.

"Your courage is commendable, but…"

She was still far from being able to take me on.

Seo Boram dodged my fist again. I pretended to be caught, then just like that.

"Hey…!!!"

Seo Boram shouted, almost like a scream.

I smiled brightly and slammed my fist into Seo Boram's face.

"Wow…"

As if genuinely impressed.

Yoo Eunchae looked at me with her mouth open.

"So, are we going to receive the karma?"

"…Yeah."

Kwon Sora looked at Seo Boram with a complicated expression and spoke.

"Going to receive the karma itself is no big deal."

Kwon Sora, who was guiding us, began to speak.

"You go into the Pantheon, tell the gods, 'I did this and that, now give me my karma,' and that's it."

"But can't we just teleport straight there?"

"That's easier said than done. This area is packed with divine thrones."

Kwon Sora clicked her tongue and looked at the Pantheon.

Pantheon.

There stood a massive structure resembling an ancient Greek temple.

"Therefore, even I can't come directly to the Pantheon. Because there are all sorts of interference devices here. It's remarkable that I came this far in one go."

I agreed with Kwon Sora's words.

"The main body of the Pantheon. There are indeed many things interfering here…"

Yoo Eunchae muttered in a serious tone.

As if she knew, but didn't expect it to be this much.

Well, of course.

'Even for me, I have to focus at this level.'

I lived three lives and transcended twice.

I reached transcendence faster than anyone, and in both lives, I achieved the mature state among transcendents.

Yet, if I was struggling here, it meant others would find it even harder to do anything in this place.

"Well, it makes sense. This is one of the most important bases, just like 'Veda' at the border."

"But they're all not as good as Master."

"…"

At Seo Boram's words, Kwon Sora remained silent.

"Is it the Duke of Extermination? I heard you took down a demon king with her."

"Even the Duke of Extermination wasn't much help, they say."

"They fought for decades and achieved nothing, so our Master is the best."

"That's true, but."

Kwon Sora looked back and forth between me and Seo Boram with complicated eyes.

I wondered if Seo Boram knew.

Among those who wished to kill the Demon King was Kwon Sora.

'…Well, it's not something Seo Boram needs to worry about.'

Kwon Sora wasn't someone who would expel students from the academy over such matters.

Because she clearly distinguished between public and private matters.

"Hey, hey. Even our principal wants to kill the Demon King."

"But she couldn't, right? So, she's trash, yeah?"

"Seo Boram, two weeks in the punishment room."

"What."

"What's the punishment room?"

"Just created it. It's a training room that our Seojini turned into a hell course…"

"Professor, spare me!"

Wasn't this distinguishing between public and private?

Walking while watching Yoo Eunchae, Seo Boram, and Kwon Sora having fun, I quickly arrived.

A gigantic temple.

In front of the entrance stood a giant. He appeared to be about 5 meters tall, wearing white cloth garments reminiscent of ancient Greek mythology.

-Who are you?

"Guests."

A guest? There wasn't supposed to be any commoner visiting today.

"Commoner?"

Ah, don't mind it. Just a lowly human reaching such heights…

"Lowly human?"

Hmm?

The giant looked with an expression wondering what the issue was.

'Is this place called Pantheon not as impressive as I thought?'

The White-Faced Gold Fur Fox.

When I caught that thing, it gave me some generous rewards, so I had a good impression of it.

Oh dear, it seems our gatekeeper was rude.

Just as I was contemplating whether to crush the giant before me.

A presence appeared before us.

A gender-neutral being with green hair. They appeared before us, clad in armor and helmet.

Divine Bellona?

"I apologize for the rudeness. We can discipline them later… but if you wish, we can 'dispose' of them?"

What, what? What on earth does that mean?

The giant spoke, flustered.

The being called Bellona was looking at me.

-I've been quite impolite, but first I wanted to convey this. Demon King Slayer, Han Seojin. Thank you.

"I prefer this over words like that."

I rolled my index finger and thumb into a circle.

An action signifying money.

At my remark, Bellona laughed.

-Don't worry. The wealth that our Pantheon possesses is incomparable even to something like 'Veda'.

"Oh, really?"

-Yes. The achievements you've accomplished are truly tremendous. So on our side, we wanted to give you something material.

"Something material, huh."

In other words, 'We'll give you something like this, so let's get along well.'

That was what it meant.

I looked at Bellona.

Bellona was smiling.

'That works for me too.'

Because there was no need to make enemies unnecessarily.

Kwon Sora snickered.

"That's the method I used."

"And did you fail?"

"My wallet was completely emptied."

"You can say you bought a decent property at the lowest price."

"That property knows its value very well. It's not like it's a Bitcoin that's only on the rise."

"If I were Bitcoin, I'd be a Bitcoin that never drops. That's why I'm saying this."

I leaned toward Kwon Sora's ear.

"What's the best way to swindle those guys?"

"…Hiccup."

Kwon Sora's ears turned red as she hiccupped.

What was with her now?

"Don't you know the saying that boys and girls shouldn't sit together after the age of seven?"

"Are you a Joseon person?"

"Korea is Joseon?!"

"No, I mean the mindset of the times… Anyway, that's not the point."

I asked seriously.

"How can we swindle them so well that it becomes a rumor?"

"Keep your distance."

I followed Kwon Sora's advice and kept my distance.

"Ah, so you want to swindle them thoroughly."

"Exactly."

"That's because…"

Just as Kwon Sora was about to speak.

Bellona looked at us incredulously and said.

-Isn't that something you should discuss where I can't hear…?

"It's not like we're not going to give you anything, right?"

-That's true, but…

Bellona reluctantly nodded.

-It feels like watching a con artist couple.

Bellona commented at the strange sight before them.
