Chapter 47
As I pondered such thoughts, the school principal suddenly popped up beside me.
“Hey, hey. Did you really have such a rare experience?”
“Evolved with the heart of a young dragon. Apparently, you can gain the language of dragons.”
“Ahahahaha! Really? I’ll consider that as something.”
The principal laughed as he passed by me.
‘Well, it’s not like I have no income at all.’
I scanned the spot where the principal had stayed in Cheonan.
If I delve a bit more into this, there might be something worthwhile to apply.
‘If it’s as convenient as the bloodline attribute, I could easily apply it, but…’
Spatial attributes, temporal attributes, and creation attributes are areas where I’m quite vulnerable.
Looking to the side, Yoo Eun-chae’s mouth fell open.
“Co-could that be ‘it’ from a little while ago?”
“Yeah. The efficiency was so high that it almost went out of control on its own.”
Thump.
Yoo Eun-chae collapsed right there.
“No, can’t you at least help me in times like this?”
“You’re the one who let it loose after just seeing one precursor. It’s more absurd coming from you.”
“…Well, I can’t really say anything about that.”
Yoo Eun-chae is physically weak and mentally fragile.
I stored it in my head but changed my mind.
‘Perhaps I saw something with my own eyes.’
Those with good eyesight might shiver just by seeing the precursor of the saintly radiance, and there are also those who urinate at the sight.
“Now that all the big trouble is over, let’s go about our business.”
“But, isn’t the Essence (C) still remaining?”
“I think it’s not as big of a deal as you might think.”
I crushed the bead engraved with Essence.
《Acquired the trait, Essence (C).》
Before I could do anything, the circle started to break.
Huh?
What’s this situation now?
《Discovered something that regulates the physique before Essence (C).》
《Essence (C) changes to Physique Enhancement (B).》
《Physique Enhancement (B) changes to Divine Physique (A+).》
“……?”
────────────────────
Divine Physique (A+)
A neatly shaped physique as if bestowed by the heavens.
Most things that can be done with the physique can be accomplished.
: Strength +5, Agility +5, Stamina +5,
: Adjustment of all action-related characteristics.
: Adjustment of physical regeneration efficiency.
: Adjustment of mental regeneration efficiency.
: As time passes, the enhancement efficiency of the body increases according to the quality of mana.
────────────────────
‘This…’
You can guess as soon as you see it.
This is the Taiheomu divine decree.
But there is something strange.
I created a circle near the heart of the young dragon, why isn’t that being adjusted separately?
‘There must be some criteria.’
I don’t know that.
‘Status Window.’
▶
Name: Han Seojin
Strength: 30
Agility: 30
Stamina: 30
Mana: 50
Spirit: 30
Skills: 30
◈
Inherent Characteristics: Eternal Cycle
Abilities: Moonlight (A+), Heavenly Body’s Flesh (A+), Young Dragon’s Heart (A)
The status window had changed significantly from the beginning.
While magic was a given, a lot of effort was put into evenly improving the physique.
“It’s amusing how my mind and skills seem to keep up with my body.”
His gaze shifted downward.
He examined his abilities.
Already, three were mastered, and if he mastered the spatial one, it would be four.
“I think abilities usually go up to six.”
It varied based on the user’s capacity, but keeping it at a minimum was wise.
“I don’t think my capacity is ordinary, though.”
Having dozens of abilities seemed manageable.
However, Yu Eunchae’s words echoed in his mind.
Abilities vary tremendously based on their grade.
Even transcendent beings only had 2-3 S-rank abilities.
“Well, let’s start moving forward then.”
Abel, deeply engrossed in thought, and Yu Eunchae, who seemed to be getting up now that her legs were free, were observed with a serious expression.
It seemed like there wouldn’t be much of a problem moving on to the next stage.
The flesh seemed to fly away.
The body, draped over the Taeheomusin-gyeol, had improved its performance a little.
Soon.
It seemed that I would be able to regain the Celestial Body soon.
“If that’s the case.”
I’ll soon be able to unfold the complete Parachenshin-gong.
I looked forward to that moment.

After Han Seo-jin disappeared, the principal revealed himself with a cheerful smile.
“How was it? How was it?”
“… It’s been a feeling since last time.”
The principal’s hunting dog, Abel, looked at where Han Seo-jin had passed.
As if he’s still there.
I still don’t know.
I’m definitely not weak.
I have a broad perspective.
The position called the principal’s hunting dog is not just about physical strength.
It also required a broad perspective.
In that sense, Abel, who serves as the Vampire Princess and plays the role of her shadow, was a very fitting presence.
There are very few who know about his existence, and he is dangerous. I try to handle things as neatly as possible.
However, Abel was confused.
Nevertheless, he had to speak.
“Senior Professor Han Seo-jin, I really don’t know.”
“Oh, really? Still, tell me. Everything Abel feels.”
“He doesn’t seem to have a burning sense of justice. And he’s not as evil as villains. Sometimes he may feel worse than villains, but fundamentally, he walks the right path.”
Abel thought up to that point and then thought about his class.
“Students call Senior Professor Han Seo-jin a devil, but they all faithfully follow his classes.”
“Of course. They grow up visibly well, right? Most of them are kids raised with care in distinguished families, so it’s naturally difficult for them not to grow well.”
Most children of the Five Great Families are like that.
From birth, they cleanse their bodies with silkmoth baths and eat elixirs like regular meals.
From a young age, these children were taught martial arts and magic by outstanding teachers invited by the adults.
That’s why learning here is nothing special for them.
The Academy beyond the Dimensional Vein.
Feeding rare things, obtaining rare things, and gaining rare connections because of the uniqueness that comes out of there.
From Noble mtl dot com
And practical experience.
What the Academy can provide is only to this extent.
Abel thought.
‘And most of what can be done in distinguished families.’
If it weren’t for the transcendent headmaster, the Academy wouldn’t have functioned properly.
They are such children.
However, all those kids had only received a month of instruction, yet they all became stronger.
Their aura changed.
Their physique changed. The speed of casting spells and the natural flow of martial arts.
Strictly in terms of instruction, they surpassed anyone in the history of the academy.
‘No, maybe even all the exceptional professors combined wouldn’t match.’
It wasn’t for nothing that Alvesro, a former professor, sought their instruction.
Abel felt it the most keenly.
And his inherent characteristics were gradually undergoing a transformation.
The power inherited from the blood of the primordial was yearning for his instruction.
‘Because it precisely matches the limit.’
The feeling of “I’ll die if I go any further” occurred many times.
But just before actually losing consciousness, he stopped. As if piercing through the limits of the physical body.
If we consider only one instruction, that’s true.
‘And there’s martial arts too.’
At that moment, Abel felt awe.
It was when he witnessed Han Seojin soloing in a united battle.
There were moments of awe when receiving his instruction.
Naturally, he thought he would win. Abel’s thoughts didn’t entertain the idea of him losing.
‘But.’
He defeated the professors with basic swordsmanship, spear techniques, and judo.
As if emphasizing the importance of teaching you the basics.
That was not all. Clad in a moonlit black, he single-handedly cut down the four quarters of the corpse lord and handled thousands of zombies alone.
Is that all?
Entering the territory of Nam Gung-se, in the midst of battle, though the sword was weak, he defeated Nam Gung Gaju, who had excellent physical specs, all by himself.
It was possible.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have confidently stepped forward.
But to defeat Nam Gung Gaju with Nam Gung-se’s sword, the Emperor Sword Style?
Even if he knew the Emperor Sword Style, it was unbelievable.
‘He must have some martial arts skills, considering how freely he handles a spear or fist.’
A month and a half.
Even after almost two months, he still didn’t know Han Seo-jin’s unique martial arts.
‘Would Yoo Eun-chae know?’
If she were mischievous, she might not know.
Abel honestly said everything.
“Yeah? Indeed, you made the right choice in choosing Abel.”
“I’m sorry if it’s not helpful.”
“No, no. That’s excellent. Actually, I don’t see or feel much.”
“Huh?”
The principal recalled the situation a little while ago.
The moment an immense power resonated, covering the entire academy.
‘Because it was me, I noticed.’
Abel or Yoo Eun-chae may not have realized it, but the principal frantically searched for the cause.
He saw Han Seo-jin.
And surprisingly, their eyes, piercing through space, momentarily ‘met.’
‘I thought the transcendent had fallen.’
No matter how much he thought about it, it didn’t seem to be just that.
“Now that I think about it, Abel.”
“Yes.”
“We didn’t decide on the spoils of our chief professor when we dealt with Nam Gung-gaju this time, did we?”
“…No, we didn’t.”
“Let’s go with that. The Devil’s Relic.”
“Yes? But that’s…”
“Well, let’s cooperate with the government to some extent. They seemed to be drooling over Professor Han Seo-jin over there, too.”
“I understand.”
“And what about the Iron Blood Swordsmaster?”
“He let go. He received assurance that his son and daughter will receive his teachings.”
“Indeed, it’s neat. Or rather, he doesn’t cling to things that won’t work out. It’s not so much Iron Blood as it is a sinister human who, like a lizard, simply cuts off its tail and leaves.”
The principal chuckled and took his seat.
Then he looked at the petitions.
A petition claiming that Professor Han Seo-jin was disrupting the hierarchy.
And someone expressed a desire to dissect Han Seojin, while another wanted to cross swords with him.
The principal laughed and dismissed them all.
“Abel. You know the incomparable difference between an incompetent instructor, ten professors, and Senior Professor Han Seojin, right? Fire them all.”
“Yes, understood.”
While Abel and the principal were having a confidential discussion,
At that moment, Han Seojin spoke up.
“I have a favor to ask.”
“What is it?”
“Can you destroy the Wissi family for me?”
“What?”
He was being asked to dismantle a family.
