The Reincarnated Person Became a Professor at the Academy - Chapter 112
Chapter 112 – Not Fond Of My Nickname (3)
“Han Seojin, huh.”
A dim space.
In the center was a round table. At the head of the table,
A man was staring at a piece of paper.
“He is a difficult man to deal with.”
“But he will move if Abel is kidnapped.”
A firm woman’s voice.
The rebuttal came from a husky man’s voice.
“If you touch that man, Kwon Sora will definitely move.”
“Are you saying our prince is less crazy than that person?”
“That’s not it. However, there is no need to make a transcendent our enemy.”
“When one becomes a transcendent, they are summoned to the Boundary without a grace period. Making the prince the progenitor vampire has been our long-cherished wish, but there’s no need to make Kwon Sora an enemy.”
“But we have to. The Vampire Princess is there.”
“Your Highness, please reconsider.”
“If Your Highness becomes a complete progenitor vampire, there will be no issues. Moreover, forming a powerful faction among the transcendents will ensure no problems.”
A husky male voice and a firm female voice alternated.
The man, the prince, closed his eyes.
Both were right. Making an enemy of a transcendent was painful. But the Vampire Princess could only be obtained by targeting the transcendent.
The progenitor vampire.
The six powers he left behind.
If all of them were unified, transcendence could be achieved.
His intuition, at the peak of the highest level, tells him to absorb the powers held by the Vampire Princess.
‘But Kwon Sora is a burden.’
The prince looked at Han Seojin’s profile.
A man with silver hair and blue eyes.
Almost boyish in appearance.
From behind, they said a transcendent intervened, but officially, it was known that he suppressed the Iron-Blood Sword Clan alone.
It was natural if you thought about it, but even among the highest ranks, power was divided.
He could kill the head of the Iron-Blood Sword Clan by himself.
Even if their elders gathered, it was the same.
The power that the progenitor vampire, a transcendent being, possessed was that overwhelming.
However, if there was something that bothered him…
‘Even among the transcendents, their power is divided.’
A natural statement if you thought about it.
Yet an absolute statement.
With the power the progenitor vampire had, he was confident he could defeat Kwon Sora.
A half-transcendent.
This was how Kwon Sora was referred to.
She ascended to transcendence with only her unique temperament and trait, which makes her unstable.
This was a statement that came from among the transcendent and highest ranks, and it’s also a way to disparage her.
Though Kwon Sora was called a half-baked transcendent, she had the strength of an average transcendent.
The prince closed his eyes.
He fell into deep thought.
Turning Kwon Sora into an enemy was burdensome.
There’s time to become a transcendent, and if she interfered during that time, his transcendence would be out of reach.
‘But it’s not like there’s no way.’
There was a way.
The prince opened his eyes and looked at his subordinates, the vampires.
They were his most reliable followers.
He could not afford to lose them all.
‘Then there is only one way.’
The prince recalled a proposal made by a guest who visited him one day.
「Here’s a proposal. Help me resurrect. Then I will get rid of what troubles you.」
Demon.
An entity embodying evil.
The king of a race.
The king of those beings made a proposal to him.
Insect Dragon King.
The offer he made was one.
To grant him a new position as the demon king.
The progenitor vampire.
A position he almost attained.
‘No, not the Demon King.’
The condition given by that person was different.
Demon King.
It was a position gained by splitting the power of the Demon God.
What that person proposed was different.
A being standing opposite the Demon God.
Something indescribable.
That being said it would give a position equal to the Demon King.
His heart was already leaning towards it.
Vampires.
A cursed race.
He offered to lift their curse.
‘If I have to deal with Kwon Sora anyway.’
What the Insect Dragon King desired.
Kwon Sora possessed it.
Then.
‘Rather than a foolish title like transcendent.’
The prince opened his eyes.
He made a decision.
“Han Seojin should be enough as bait.”
“…!”
“…!”
The expressions of his subordinates fluctuated between joy and despair.
“However, there is something to be cautious about.”
The prince gave a few instructions to his subordinates.
The subordinates nodded at the prince’s words, their eyes gleaming.
The students were gathered.
Their reactions were unexpectedly quick.
“Is it another joint class today?”
“Master, is today the day we finally have a proper match?”
Wi Gunak and Seo Boram spoke as if they were looking forward to it.
“We’ve received a mission today.”
“A mission, you say?”
“Are we going to crush another noble family? Even though I look like this, I’m tied to a prestigious family, so it’s a bit tough.”
“Me too.”
“…Since when were you behind me?”
Yoo Seolang countered Seo Boram’s words.
Then, Seo Boram was startled.
‘She’s hiding better now.’
Previously, she was half-hidden, but now her presence was almost invisible.
But her form was clear to me.
‘The power of the divine…’
The divine essence of eternity.
The body of a deity.
Was this the influence of obtaining it? I could see many things.
‘No, it seems like the divine eye and body are synchronizing.’
Even the celestial martial body was gradually synchronizing with the body of a deity.
‘I think I can fully obtain the Ex-grade.’
Anyway, there was something I needed to do before that.
I decided to relay the mission given by Abel to the students.
“The mission was among the students. It’s Abel’s mission.”
“Abel? What about the danger level?”
“A-class.”
“A-class?”
Mission danger levels.
They started from E-class and went up to S-class.
B-class could be handled by a high-ranking individual alone, and the highest rank took on A-class.
S-class was a level that a transcendent could handle alone.
But how common were transcendents?
An S-class mission was one that the entire nation must stake its life on to resolve.
In reality, there hadn’t been a mission of this grade in the past 10 years.
Practically, an A-grade mission was the highest level.
A mission that only the Supreme Realm could handle alone.
In other words, it was a danger that the Supreme Realm could face.
I looked into the children’s eyes.
Eyes filled with excitement.
And then I looked at Yoo Eunchae, the one most hostile to Abel.
Her eyes were shining.
‘Interesting look?’
No, they were similar to mine.
A gaze that seemed to say she could completely take advantage.
Eyes that lit up as if she could exploit something.
When the principal seemed like a pushover, and they could pounce on the opportunity.
‘That same look?’
Surprisingly similar.
‘No, it’s not similar.’
I was not that ugly.
I didn’t drool like that.
Though it was often said that a master and their disciple resembled each other, Yoo Eunchae and I did not.
“Wow, she has the same expression as the master?”
“No, who are you calling ugly…!”
“I should be the one saying that.”
I easily subdued Yoo Eunchae and also subdued Seo Boram, who made the comment.
“Then what’s the mission type?”
“Escort. We are going to protect a woman.”
“A woman. If it’s someone Abel would request…”
“Aha, I see. Well, our master is quite lacking in personality, but his martial skills are exceptional. Good, good. How much have you looked into it?”
“The person I requested is the professor.”
“Hmm, if that were the case, he wouldn’t have called us together. Midterms are coming up soon, so why would the master bother to summon us?”
Were midterms coming up soon?
No wonder the other professors seemed busy.
The students’ movements also seemed unusually hectic.
“Then should we use the midterms as an excuse?”
This wasn’t bad either.
If they became current heroes, there would inevitably be times when they had to protect someone.
“Since the midterm exam is coming up soon, we’ll substitute it with this.”
“Ugh, isn’t that too easy?”
“That’s a demerit.”
“Honorable teacher, I think it’s an excellent idea.”
“Demerit canceled.”
“Phew.”
Leaving behind Yoo Eunchae, who sighed in relief, I conveyed what I heard from Abel.
“Why did it have to be fanatics?”
“That’s the reason the escort mission is rated A-class, isn’t it?”
“It’s quite bothersome. But don’t worry, since I’m here.”
The fact that Seon Woohyeon, who I was most worried about, said that made me even more concerned.
‘Should I just not go and send them alone?’
I soon shook my head.
It’s safer to stay here.
‘If there’s a terrorist attack, Yoo Eunchae will handle it to some extent.’
Of course, not entirely.
Still, she should be able to manage it to a degree.
‘If not, there’s Yoo Seolrang.’
Looking at Yoo Seolrang, I sent a look to use the reversal trait used last time.
Then.
“Wh-why are you looking at me so intently?”
“…”
Nothing was conveyed.
After telling Yoo Seolrang to use the reversal trait generously, I informed the kids of the precautions.
After dismissing the kids, Yoo Eunchae approached me.
“So, what are you going to do?”
“What?”
“Obviously, the Vampire Princess. Are we going to intercept her midway and take the progenitor’s blood she has? Or are we going to protect her and integrate the vampires?”
“…What are you talking about?”
“…You didn’t know? The power of the progenitor that the Vampire Princess possesses, we can steal it and make her a regular person.”
“You can steal that?”
“Normally, it would be impossible, but who am I?”
“Well, you have always been exceptionally talented at taking things and stealing more than anything else.”
“…”
Yoo Eunchae made a sullen face at my words.
“Usually, this is the part where you compliment me.”
“More importantly, how do you steal it?”
“That’s simple.”
Yoo Seolrang brought her lips to my ear and whispered.
“…Like this.”
“That works?”
“Yes, I’ve tested it.”
“Hmm.”
I tried to recall the power possessed by the Vampire Princess.
‘Maybe.’
It might be worth adding to the Brilliant Blazing Fire.
For now, I decided to put the matter of the Vampire Princess aside.
Many things needed to be done.
[Will the vacant position among the Five Great Families be taken by the Wi Clan?]
[The Wi Clan, securing more than half of the remaining power of the Iron-Blood Sword Clan…]
[The head of the Wi Clan…]
“Congratulations on the Wi Clan joining the Five Great Families.”
“Haha, I didn’t do much. It was more impressive to break the Iron-Blood Sword Clan that allied with the demons.”
With a pleased smile, the head of the Wi Clan shook hands.
“So, what brings you here?”
“I’d like to ask for a favor before causing any trouble.”
“Haha, you’ve achieved such a great feat recently, and now another? It’s a bit hard to help this time.”
“I understand. You’ve expanded your power greatly, so it’s time to govern internally. It’s nothing major. Just looking after our children.”
“Hm?”
“They are being targeted by terrorists.”
“It must be that you’re planning to raid the terrorists’ base.”
“You know me well, don’t you?”
“I’ve been keeping an eye on you since your first incident. Anyway, don’t worry about the kids.”
With this, the kids’ safety should be more or less assured.
I left the Wi Clan and boarded the train.
The destination was Pyongyang.
It’s the fanatics’ base.
