The Reincarnated Person Became a Professor at the Academy - Chapter 42

The Reincarnated Person Became A Professor At The Academy 42

42 – Imperial Sword Formation (5).

I couldn’t recall when it was.

As usual, I was in the midst of harsh physical training, pushing my body to its limits. One day, perhaps due to the relentless training of my physical strength, something extraordinary happened.

《New ability of the inherent trait Eternity is unlocked.》

《Special ability Eternity has been unlocked.》

I witnessed such a window.

[Eternity永劫]

: When activated, the target becomes eternal.

: Mana +5

A succinct yet immensely profound description.

However, I could understand how absurd this was.

Whether it’s martial arts or magic, there is always a cost involved.

But this ability seems to make everything close to zero.

‘Not really, though.’

As a test, I tried using it a few times.

It’s unlikely to be real, but this power is too dangerous to apply to offensive magic.

Enchanting tools with a magical inscription,

Surprisingly, it showed effects close to true eternity.

‘Not exactly 0, but…’

Becoming eternal.

I remained seated just like that.

However, if this is the extent of the newly opened ability, I became curious about how far I could grow.

If I were to cultivate only my unique characteristics like the headmaster.

“I will truly become eternal.”

This power is similar to the headmaster’s.

If her power manipulates the entire space.

My power is the one that influences time.

“That’s why it consumes mana so voraciously.”

Time and space.

Creation.

These three powers consume an enormous amount of mana compared to their performance.

But as I grow, there is also a return that matches it.

And now.

The performance itself is excellent.

“Eternal ice spring永劫氷天.”

A blue sphere flew.

Crack!

Eroding the blue light, it created a lily made of ice.

“…!!”

“What is… this?!”

“An enormous magical power?! No, what kind of spell did they apply to have power like mine, or even greater?”

All around, startled voices echoed. I drew my sword.

Sshling.

A blade newly crafted to match my skills not long ago.

A chilling sensation settled in my heart.

“You believe in just one magic, daring to invade the domain of Namgung Se-ga?”

“Well, unless it’s a rabbit hole, I wouldn’t think one could solely believe in magic.”

I eased my body slowly.

Kwoong! Kwoong!

Loosened the stifling haze on my limbs. This one wasn’t someone to trifle with.

Even facing him, a supreme master.

“The Brain Sword will soon be unleashed. Its ability is the power of anti-demons.”

“It won’t be undone?”

Eternal.

The Eternal Ice of Destruction merged with the Ice of Boundlessness; it’s not easily undone by ordinary anti-demonic power.

“Frankly, I didn’t expect it to be this challenging.”

Eternal Ice combined with the power of time.

Even now, it was a bit tough for me to undo it.

“Seems like you’re getting anxious with all this talking. Namgung’s successor, yet finding it hard to handle alone, aren’t you mocking yourself?”

“…You’re pleading like a cornered fawn. Let me teach you a lesson.”

“A lesson? Our disparity isn’t just a lesson. Bringing a massive force and still being pushed back by a scuffle at home, isn’t that embarrassing?”

“……”

“No words. Are you uneasy about your swords lagging behind the students I brought? Or are you jittery about when those outside might come barging in?”

“It doesn’t matter. I’ll have to step forward soon anyway.”

Namgung Gaju stepped forward.

“Today, I will establish justice with my own sword.”

“Quit talking and come at me.”

*

Crackle!!

A blue lightning envelops the sword.

Moving beyond that point, the lightning condenses.

Changryonggi (蒼龍氣), the Azure Dragon Qi.

Namgung’s proud martial skill. A technique crafted in imitation of the blue sky.

It seemed at least satisfied with the minimal conditions for a showdown.

I raised the sword.

I felt the chill of the cold iron blade.

Releasing an overwhelming aura, it felt quite sharp.

“Let me ask one last time. Surrender peacefully.”

“Is the Imperial Sword Form so tempting?”

“It’s not originally your swordsmanship. It’s regrettable to let go of the swordsmanship that will make our Namgung family great again.”

Namgung’s Gaju raised the sword, saying so.

Hwoong!

The wind approached, accompanying a booming sound, right in front of my nose.

《Trait Acquired: Moonlight (A+)》

Moonlight.

I infused moonlight into the sword. A dark glow, as if moonlight had descended, surrounded the blade.

I swung it immediately.

Zzooeeeng!!

My Crescent Dragon Qi clashed with his Moonlight. I furrowed my brows.

‘His strength has the upper hand.’

The magical power is evenly matched.

If we consider the absolute quantity, my side is about one-third of his.

However, the exceptionally high quality of my mana covers that quantity.

The problem is that he is faster.

He approaches again.

His eyes flashed with a blue light.

And from within, a red light also flickered.

‘The power of a demon.’

I leaped backward.

Nam Gungse’s family sword closely followed.

“Why is he like this? Unlike his blabbering mouth, his body moves backward.”

“Sir, your breath is a bit strong, you know.”

“Well, looks like someone is in a hurry.”

After exchanging a few moves, he feigned composure.

No, he might actually be composed. His speed and strength are superior to mine, after all.

But there’s one thing where I overpower him.

Swordsmanship.

The sword moves.

Whoosh!!

The sword screams.

The moonlight intensifies. The blade continuously circulates with an unwavering precision.

Clang!!

I swung the sword diagonally, letting my wrist follow the flow of power.

Swish!!

The swords clash. The red glow in his eyes deepens.

At the same time, I felt an increase in strength.

However, his swordsmanship skills are mediocre.

The Nangung family didn’t pay much attention to sword training.

His face turned pale.

After the first exchange, he seemed confident, but now, after the third, he looked like he was witnessing the impossible.

I charged towards him.

Namgoong Gaju firmly grasped the Changryonggi and swung it.

Kagagak!

The strike was divided. In a blink of an eye, it surpassed ten strikes and was about to exceed twenty strikes.

“Feeling a bit burdened? Seeing you exerting even the strength that shouldn’t be unleashed?”

“…Who are you?”

“Han Seojin.”

“No. You’re just not that kind of existence.”

The man swung the sword once more. He thrust the sword at an angle.

Eyes wide open, trying to block it.

‘No depth.’

I understand what kind of life he has lived up to now.

He must have competed with magic, strength, and speed. Most of his opponents must have been helpless.

Kagagak!

He deflected the sword outward and slashed the man’s chest. Namgoong Gaju gritted his teeth as he opened his eyes.

“This can’t be possible!”

“The mighty Gaju has lived an easy life. What kind of audacity led you to turn the most important power of the family into a running joke, making enemies all around?”

“Argh!”

Swoosh.

The delayed sword partially cut the man’s wrist. As his right wrist dangled, the man’s expression changed.

“It’s a speed-focused sword, yet it can’t keep up. How much have you been fooling around?”

“This is not something that can be used in such a pitiful state of perfection!”

“It seems there are eyes that see me as a disgrace.”

He sneered at the man, pretending to be relaxed.

I pondered for a moment.

This guy is a little stronger than the information taught by Yoo Eunchae or Nam Hye Rin.

It’s not something I can’t handle.

But if he pulls out ‘that’ in this state, it might become quite troublesome.

“Are you ready to endure an injury and unleash the Holy Light Brainwave once?”

Or.

“If I use the Sky-Shattering Divine Technique, it should work somehow.”

Just thinking about it made me laugh.

To be troubled by a guy like this.

“You said you’d teach me a move, right? Then let me show you one. Royal Sword Form. Let me show you what that is.”

Ssshaaa.

A sharp breath escaped my lips.

Woooooo!!

The sword vibrated. It hadn’t been long since it was made, but today’s fight felt like it would be the last.

I quite liked that feeling.

I circulated the sword infinitely. The power to easily shatter a mountain was imbued within it.

I adjusted my posture.

With an endlessly arrogant posture, he looked down upon him.

“You are ridiculously arrogant! How dare you use the Nangung’s martial arts when the lord himself is glaring at you with furious eyes!”

A reddish glow flashed in Nangung’s eyes.

It was effective.

And it was divisive.

Such power was growing stronger.

Evidence that demonization was in progress.

‘Soon.’

He could not help but reveal Nangung’s weakness.

No, he would make sure to force it out.

He swung the sword imbued with power.

Imperial Sword Style.

Hwoong!

Behind me, the shadow of the Imperial Deity loomed. Nangung Gaju’s eyes flickered.

“Come!”

The lightning imbued in the sword intensified.

Azure Emperor Sword of the Vast Sky.

Kuuung!!

The sword descended. Clang! Nangung Gaju was struggling to block it.

Tap.

Swiftly, he leaped forward, a moment when he drew a moonlit sword to slash at the figure.

Swish!

A black light burst forth from the figure.

*

[No-oo-oo-oom!! I will never, never let you go easily!!]

It was a voice like a beast’s howl.

A voice that shook the entire battlefield. The war seemed to have reached a stalemate at that voice.

Everyone was watching this way. I wanted to glance around, but it was difficult.

Namgung Gaju’s momentum.

And the life.

They were directed at me.

But it was different from what I had heard from Yoo Eunchae, Nam Hyerin, and Seon Woo-hyun.

‘Is this a bit dangerous?’

I was startled.

It was because it was so different from the information I got from Yoo Eunchae, Nam Hyerin, and Seon Woo-hyun.

I stepped back significantly.

The Emperor Sword, which had been swung down, shattered as it was.

Crash!

With that sound, what appeared was not human.

And the unique ability he possessed.

It was in full bloom. And the subtle magic was spreading in all directions.

Kwoong!!

A sound as if something heavy was moving.

As the dust settled, what was revealed…

“Pung.”

It was a pig.

Not a metaphor, but a real pig.

Its arms and legs had transformed into stubby ones, and for some reason, it was holding a sword with pig hooves.

However, the difference from other pigs was…

“It’s not only bipedal, but also much larger.”

It had a massive physique.

From Noble mtl dot com

Its imposing presence increased. And the most noticeable thing was…

Its head.

Half of its head was dyed black.

“Demonization.”

Evidence of making a contract with a demon.

But it was beyond that. I was trying to evoke demonization when maintaining my unique power called the “Jopalkae,” but he brought it out all at once.

[It’s the first time he has shown this appearance.]

“You and I match extraordinarily well. Why were you hiding it? Your abilities are nothing but greedy for trivial subjects.”

[NOOOOOM!!]

Nam Gung-gaju made a significant leap. The momentum is different from before.

The one who was ahead in strength and speed has become even stronger.

‘Focus.’

He exerted strength in his eyes.

He surrounded his entire body with a transcendent aura.

Tadadadadadadang!!

Countless sword strikes were swung. He forcibly increased the speed to parry the swords.

He parried all of the opponent’s sword strikes.

However, that was it.

He couldn’t enter an offensive stance.

‘Tricky.’

Even holding ground was difficult. It’s not just a slight difference in strength or speed.

[Can he endure this too…?]

Nam Gung-gaju spoke with a voice full of emptiness.

He was rolling his eyes.

As if searching for an escape.

‘Do you think I’ll let you go?’

With a sly smile, he swung his sword.

Screech – indicating that the body was under strain. However, he clenched his teeth and swung the sword.

Imperial Sword Style.

Azure Sky Sovereign Sword.

[This guy!?]

Namgung Gaju prepared to counter in astonishment.

‘A good choice.’

Imperial Sword Style.

This sword, utilizing the essence of the Middle Sword and Reverse Sword, boasts an outstanding effect to the point where it can be called peerless.

Moreover, the one wielding it is me.

Hardly anything can escape.

That’s probably why it’s blocking like that.

“Where do you think you’re running off to? Can’t you see that Namgung’s swords are all aimed at you right now?”

[You, you, you!!]

“How many times are you going to call my name? At this rate, I might just get attached, hey.”

[I’ll definitely kill you!!]

“Why don’t you give it a try.”

Namgung Gaju, furious, rushed towards me.

But I didn’t provoke him for no reason.

Just before transforming, someone with a similar momentum as Namgung Gaju has arrived.

“I’ll join.”

A man wrapped entirely in black fabric appeared before my eyes.

He brandished a massive blade.

[“Get lost, you dog of the Georyeok Guild!”]

“Nahmgoong, it seems you haven’t revealed your unique abilities.”

[Gulp!]

The black-clad man collided with Nahmgoong’s stance.

Well, I thought they collided.

Nahmgoong effortlessly extended one arm towards the black-clad man.

It was as if he was dealing with a mere mortal seeking revenge.

…Huh?

[“I’ll kill only you!!”]

Why me?!
