The Reincarnated Person Became a Professor at the Academy - Chapter 7

The Reincarnated Person Became A Professor At The Academy 7

7 – Entangled in Annoying Matters.

‘It’s unbelievable.’

Rumpling her twilight-colored hair, Yoo Eun-chae recalled the situation a while ago.

Han Seo-jin.

That man.

Sparkling blue eyes that seemed to hold a cluster of stars in his sturdy nose. And white but glossy hair. Somehow, his skin was as clear as a baby’s.

In the academy, there were many attractive and beautiful people, but Han Seo-jin was particularly different.

Perhaps because he was the only one in the black-and-white screen with vibrant colors.

Every time she saw him, she had thoughts, but this time was especially different.

Despite wearing seemingly casual clothes, his face and proportions were out of this world.

But still.

There was such an incident, but does it make sense to pretend not to know like this?

‘…Calm down, Yoo Eun-chae.’

This is a trap.

A scheme befitting wicked men.

Although he almost got caught, didn’t he manage to escape?

I don’t know what he’s aiming for, but it’s certainly not something good. Because in the future, he will become one of the successors to the insane demon king.

A little, just a little, his pride was hurt.

However, there are a few things that are puzzling.

During this time, Han Seo-jin had an extremely low period of self-esteem.

Being scorned as an abandoned existence by mana and the system from all directions, and his fellow disciples would sigh or stick their tongues out when they saw him.

Although his family, the Iron Blood Sword Clan, was the top family in Korea, direct mockery couldn’t be made. However, his standing within the academy was not favorable.

But the Han Seo-jin he just met was different.

With confident strides, he just sent an indifferent gaze even when looking at a beauty like Yoo Eun-chae, who had always received various advances from men.

So, quite a bit of curiosity arose.

‘But this is not right.’

He became a little angry at the attitude as if seeing him for the first time.

How could he do such a thing and then act as if he didn’t really know about it?

It angered her that he was behaving as if he genuinely didn’t know, despite having done such a thing.

Pause.

Yoo Eunchae felt a chill down her spine in that moment. She pondered once again on Han Seojin’s appearance.

A sturdy nose and sparkling blue eyes that seemed to hold a cluster of stars. And although pale, hair that shone with a subtle luster. Somehow, skin as fair as a baby’s.

Someone had changed.

That meant…

“…Awakened?”

If that was the case, some other things made sense to some extent.

In unique cases, there were awakenings related to ‘past lives,’ or so they said.

In England, it was true for ‘Arthur’ and ‘Merlin,’ and in Korea, there were heroes who used the name ‘Cheok Jun-kyung.’

So, understanding that he had changed to some degree made sense.

“He might not remember me due to the surge of memories.”

Moreover, heroes usually had extraordinary aspects, so not paying attention to oneself was also…

“But that can’t be, right?”

Although his appearance wasn’t as exceptional as Han Seojin’s, it was quite distinctive.

Dealing with entangled matters involving heroes and villains was also troublesome.

“But Han Seojin’s awakened form had blue eyes? I feel like they were originally crimson.”

At the moment of a strange premonition, Yoo Eunchae instinctively lowered her posture.

Kwaaang!

Immediately after, a tremendous explosion swept through the surroundings.

Yoo Eunchae immediately stiffened her expression.

“Villains? At this point, has there ever been a time when villains just popped up?”

She frowned, but had no recollection.

But those villains were the ones who carried out all sorts of terror to pursue their desires.

Perhaps some of her actions had provoked them.

In that case…

“Oh, there you are. Ugh, it’s a bother to wander around.”

Two figures walked towards her through the dispersing smoke.

One, displaying green muscles with a massive blade on his shoulder.

The other, a man with a snake-like, elongated tongue flicking the blade of a dagger.

“The Green Phantom and the Black Assassin!”

Both were notorious villains.

And they possessed unique abilities.

Their compatibility was not favorable.

Yoo Eun-chae was a spirit examiner, but the Green Phantom had the resilience to ignore her attacks and break through, while the Black Assassin’s covert attacks were deadly to her.

If there was a place to rely on, it was that they were on the same level as her.

It was regrettable, but if she used one of her secret weapons, she could escape.

Thunk.

The Green Phantom placed his massive blade on the ground as tall as his thigh.

“You, insolent wench. Roaming outside the academy without even knowing there’s a bounty on your head.”

“A bounty on my head? Where? From the Black Cloud Society? The Thousand Ghost Gate?”

“…He really wandered through various factions. Thanks to that, we made money easily.”

Thud.

Nok-gwi lightly snapped his neck, looking at himself.

“Don’t think of dying easily, woman.”

*

As soon as a massive explosion resounded, I immediately lowered my stance, focusing on where the explosion originated.

‘There are three presumed culprits.’

Three people near the explosion.

And one of them, a woman, locked eyes with me.

Her level was enough to make me tense.

The others might not know, but judging by her movements, she’s quite fast.

‘Two against one?’

One woman and two others were in a fierce battle.

“Pl-please spare me!”

“Why is the Black Snake here!”

It was quite intense.

Citizens around were screaming and fleeing.

Unpleasant.

I put my hand in my pocket and slipped inside.

Each time, I collided with fleeing citizens, but paid them no mind.

Inside, there were two men and the woman I had seen earlier.

The woman seemed to have been injured in her left arm, as blood was flowing from it.

“A dual sword user, huh?”

Because my hands were not well trained, I didn’t think he was unarmed.

No, perhaps he was not just less of a genius than me, but had quickly elevated his level.

“What’s this, a kid who looks like a leech?”

The first one to speak to me was a man who looked like a snake.

He was holding a twisted dagger and licking the blade with his long tongue.

“Do you like the taste of metal?”

It’s the same here as in the martial world.

He’s just trying to intimidate me for no reason.

Sneak, sneak.

The man who seemed to be his companion approached the snake man.

…surprisingly, the man really looked like a pig.

His skin had a slight greenish tint, his ears were pointed, and his nose was like a pig’s. Although covered in muscles, it was different from a pig.

“hahahaha! Are you stunned by this body?”

“Well, your face is so hideous. But for a man to look like this… If he were to be sold at a slave auction, he would fetch a good price, wouldn’t he?”

Hmm, I do have a similar appearance.

“Hah. Let’s just pass him over and take care of that woman first.”

“hahahahaha! Sure, anyway…”

“Run!”

Crash!

A deafening explosion echoed along with the scream of a woman.

Whether it was an explosion caused by flames or not, thick smoke spread in all directions.

But… is it acceptable to rampage like this in the city?

Wasn’t Korea supposed to have a decent law enforcement system?

Could this massive rupture be the result of that strange crack?

As I pondered seriously, someone approached with steady footsteps.

“Annoying.”

The snake-like man looked at me, flicking his tongue.

“You, stay still.”

He said that while establishing eye contact.

‘Wind element. Skill level around the intermediate range.’

As he spoke, wind roared around the snake man, dispelling the smoke with a gust.

Visible was the face of a woman appearing desperate.

“Hey, you there, woman.”

In an instant, their attention turned towards me.

They seemed like experts in their own right, attempting to block any variables.

The woman looked at me.

It was as if she conveyed through her eyes, “Escape from here quickly.”

“It’s unbelievable.”

Why should I avoid these guys?

“It wouldn’t be a problem to kill them, right? They clearly lead such a messed up life that it could easily provoke terror. But when it comes to human rights or whatever, would that be an issue?”

“hahahahaha!”

Laughter burst out instantly.

The pig and the snake were exaggeratingly laughing, clutching their bellies.

“Is it manly to brag in front of a woman? Whether you guys are involved or not, there’s no problem in catching these old folks. No, if we catch these old folks, the Hero Association and the government might even reward us.”

“Of course, that’s not going to happen. But maybe they’ll end up begging for death? Our brother Nokgui has experience in torture, you know.”

They chuckled.

They were just kids. I really need to show them the power of an old man.

Thud.

I walked forward.

Taeheo.

The purest energy, close to the origin of all energy, surged through my entire body.

It condensed in my hands. As the energy spread in all directions, their expressions stiffened.

“Is he someone who can make a move? He seems like a martial artist. They won’t easily forget this face, will they?”

The Black Snake brandished his dagger.

The green pig, known as Nokgui, aimed at me.

“What’s going on?”

I had quite a high opinion of him.

Because what I felt from him was a presence and pressure that even the sewer couldn’t imitate.

But when I looked at his posture, he was no different from the sewer.

I couldn’t feel the typical meticulousness of a master.

Then I realized.

The special power in this world.

The power called “Innate Ability.”

A privilege that only Earthlings in this world can be chosen to use.

Only then could Earthlings understand why they had been overlooked.

When they awaken these innate abilities, they seem to surpass the ordinary level.

“Interesting.”

Now I understand to some extent.

The reason why the martial arts world and the magic world clashed.

“Are you laughing?”

My laughter seemed to ignore myself, and Nokgye glared at me.

Well, that’s true. With their level, there’s no tension.

“Experience the power of an elder!”

The speed is fast.

If you just look with your eyes, you can see something vague.

I activated Cheonan.

And I.

‘What is this?’

I was taken aback.

It was too absurd.

An endlessly honest path.

I walked forward. I reached out towards the path. The expression on Nokgui’s face changed to bewilderment.

It seemed like he expected me to surrender, perhaps thinking I would die with just one attack.

‘Unbelievable.’

I twisted my lips.

Daring to worry about me at this level?

‘I didn’t want to do this.’

It became a bit sincere.

What should I do?

The fight between strength and strength is still tough. I’ve just been reborn.

‘In that case.’

Softness.

Strength that is only strength cannot defeat softness.

But that’s only in battles among experts.

In the fight of the lower ranks, the one who is simply strong and fast takes the lead.

To put it a bit differently.

The mere strength and speed of a sewer cannot defeat a master.

“It’s a waste to use a move like this on a guy like him.”

With this body in this state, there’s no other choice.

乾坤大挪移.

Thud.

He struck lightly as if tracing a path with his hand. And then, a light sound followed.

The result may not be light, though.

“What?!”

The blade was forcefully deflected outward.

Nokgui’s expression twisted in confusion.

“Tsk.”

But inside, I clicked my tongue.

In my previous life… back in the days when I was known as the Unnamed of Cheong’an, I used this to twist the earth and sky.

Naturally, it was expected to render Nokgui’s arms useless.

I sighed and delved inward.

Woo-woong!

Taeheo.

The closest to the source.

I concentrated it and wound it around my hand.

My hand glowed white.

A condensed gigawave surged out, fully contained in the hand.

Crackle—small bolts of lightning flickered.

A pure white light lingered in the hand. The condensed hand reached forward.

Thunderclap Fist.

A flash of white light filled the hand.

It elongated into a sharp hand shape.

The eyes of Nokgwi widened.

Simultaneously, he spoke while looking at me.

“Why is a master…!”

Squelch.

And at the same time as feeling an unpleasant sensation at the fingertips.

Thunk.

Nokgwi’s head rolled on the ground.
