The Reincarnated Person Became a Professor at the Academy

There are countless noble families in Korea.

However, among them, there are five prominent families.

Cheolhyeolgeomga (鐵血劍家).

Mabeopsinga (魔法申家).

Sinbiyuga (神祕兪家).

Amyeongjoga (暗影趙家).

Georyeokseoga (巨力徐家).

These five families are collectively known as the Five Great Clans.

Among them, the most prominent is Cheolhyeolgeomga.

No matter how prominent Cheolhyeolgeomga is, the other four families cannot be ignored.

Mabeopsinga, which handles magic.

Sinbiyuga, which researches special abilities.

Amyeongjoga, which gathers those who move covertly like assassins.

And Georyeokseoga, which wields power and authority with sheer strength.

Each of them possesses their own power.

The Five Great Families.

The five greatest families in Korea possess tremendous power.

Each of them has an enormous background.

Even the companies that originally governed South Korea have formed ties with them.

If Korea feels enmity towards the Five Great Families, there is nothing it can do.

And at the center of it all, the internal affairs of the Cheolhyeol Geomga.

It was a secluded space.

A man was sitting on a chair only fit for the head of a household.

He appeared to be in his early thirties, with a neat impression.

“So… Han Seojin made a move?”

“Yes.”

A man in front of the other man, his head bowed and lying down, replied.

“It seems he escaped at the last moment of the experiment.”

“The last moment of the experiment…”

“And now, he is working as a professor at the academy.”

“A professor?”

At the unexpected words, the head of the household stopped speaking.

“Yes, it seems… he awakened in the direction of his past life.”

“Past life. Can one become so strong so quickly through the unique trait of recalling memories from a past life?”

“I think he has partially hidden his power. When the Ogeom (五劍) was away, he committed a crime and ran away.”

“It’s inevitable. I would like to catch him and do it all over again if I could.”

Tap, tap.

Gaju tapped her fingers against the armrest of the chair.

“It’s still too daunting to meddle with.”

The Academy is the domain where the principal operates.

Though among Transcendents, it might be the weakest, but still, it’s named a Transcendent.

Even if the Supreme Leaders lead everything, they’re beings capable of annihilating the Supreme Leaders themselves.

That’s the essence of being a Transcendent.

“I feel like I could break through the wall with just a little more.”

That’s what the laboratory was for.

That’s what the experiment was for.

Knowing her son possessed a “peculiar talent,” she could throw it at those who called themselves “traitors.”

If only she could grasp that talent.

She wasn’t sure if she could easily ascend to a Transcendent, so there was anticipation.

But since it had to be done on the Academy grounds, the risk was substantial.

“This time, there’s no other way.”

Gaju’s eyes turned as crimson as blood.

“How’s the Academy?”

“…Currently under investigation.”

“Other than that.”

“The principal favors Han Seojin. To an unprecedented extent, she’s backing her up.”

“That much?”

“Not only was he promoted to a professor, but shortly after, he was appointed as the chief professor. And I handed over a tremendous budget flowing into the academy to him.”

“How much was it?”

“5%.”

“…What?”

The head of the Cheolhyeol Geomga was at a loss for words in that moment.

5%.

It may not seem like much, but there is no one in the academy who manages that level of budget alone.

Yeongmaek.

The amount required to sustain that magnitude is astronomical.

“Initially, it may seem that way on the surface. But from the Cheondang’s perspective, their relationship is unusual.”

Cheondang.

Where the minds of the Cheolhyeol Geomga are active, observing the world’s affairs.

If they thought so, then it must be true.

The head closed their eyes and spoke.

“For now, leave it be.”

“To leave it for now…”

“Don’t just turn a blind eye. How are the son and daughter?”

“Han Junseok reached the top rank not long ago. Han Yurim did the same.”

A dispassionate voice.

The demeanor was more like holding a weapon than dealing with the children of the family.

However, Gaju didn’t care about that.

After all, they were the ones who would become Gaju’s own weapons.

“It’s fortunate that it went smoothly. It seems we won’t have to dispose of him like the eldest son.”

“……Yes.”

“But we must keep an eye on him. The principal won’t just believe Hahn Seojin’s words and leave us alone… Understand?”

“Yes.”

Erase all doubts from the principal’s mind.

At that command, the shadow disappeared.

Gaju closed their eyes again.

‘What a waste.’

It was already in the past.

The laboratory where Han Seojin escaped.

It had already been erased from the world.

But the records found there troubled Gaju.

[Han Seojin’s abilities. The talent to perform eternal duties for the deceased.]

[Suitable for the successor of Ma.]

[The talent to turn Palma八魔 into Kuma九魔.]

‘What a shame! Regrettable.’

Due to the ability to manipulate corpses, they wouldn’t be able to act openly.

The talent surpassed even the dark scrutiny of the family line.

The patriarch was simply lamenting.

He was unaware.

Unbeknownst to him, it was the potential to become the demon king, an adversary of the stars, that they referred to.

*

Sizzle.

Fizz fizz fizz.

A refreshing coolness passed through the throat.

The prickling carbonation and sweetness faded away.

“Ahh.”

Living for this taste in the present world.

In the fantasy realm or the world of martial arts novels, reproducing this taste was challenging.

Hence, whenever there was an opportunity, I would sip on cola.

“…So you like cola.”

“That’s right.”

The child chosen by magic.

Shin Yoo was giving me a peculiar glance.

“Did they say they’re a child of the magic god?”

The talent the patriarch was eagerly anticipating.

Also known as being chosen by magic.

And sometimes, when I see it, it surprises me.

When using magic, there’s a distinctiveness, and she preserves that distinctiveness very well.

“That kind of thing is pure talent.”

I looked at Shin Yura’s side.

There was a woman who harmonized with the wind like air.

If Shin Yura is a goddess of magic,

that child is a child of mystique.

“Yuseullang.”

A child blessed by the wind.

And,

“Teacher, I’m here!”

Yoo Eunchae, who couldn’t fly well even for a day.

The three of them are having a magic tutoring session today.

*

“A magic tutoring session?”

“Yes.”

“I really appreciate your concern, but what about the two of us?”

Yoo Eunchae furrowed her brow as if she didn’t like something.

What nonsense.

“There’s one more person over there.”

“Is there one more person?”

“……?”

At my words, Shin Yura and Yoo Eunchae exchanged glances.

“Do you… get bullied by them?”

“…Um, can you see me well?”

In response to my serious question, Yu Seolrang replied in an odd tone.

“…So Yu Seolrang was there.”

“…I knew from the beginning.”

Yeah, right.

I was momentarily furious, but I felt it was justified.

“Because I hid my traces from the surroundings.”

The scent, appearance, and such are naturally scattered by the wind. The same goes for one’s appearance.

I could tell right away because of my experiences in Cheonan, but perhaps I received such treatment knowingly or unknowingly.

The surprised look when I found myself is evidence of that.

“But Yu Seolrang is not close to magic.”

“…I also want to learn martial arts.”

“Don’t you all know more about magic than me?”

“……”

“……”

The two fell silent.

Was it because Yu Eunchae was being ignored? Sin Yura’s lips curled up slightly.

“And you, don’t say that magic suits someone else better than martial arts.”

“No, but isn’t that person supposed to be a real magician?”

Snap.

I couldn’t stand the nonsense.

“Ouch!”

“That person practices martial arts.”

“No, why does it hurt so much when it’s over 3 meters away?”

“That’s martial arts for you.”

“But is that person really skilled in martial arts?”

“Hmm.”

I looked at Yu Eunchae and raised the corner of my lips.

“I know what you think of him. But he’s the kind of guy who, if lacking adequate knowledge, can only be considered a magician.”

“No, how outstanding is my expertise!”

That kind of guy just a while ago…

No.

If he thinks so, it could be.

Before anyone does something, they usually have a reasonable plan.

Most of the time, that ends up being the problem.

“Anyway, today’s lesson is simple. Since the three of you have passed basic mana manipulation, we’ll learn about basic magic manipulation today.”

“Basic again today?”

“Because you three know nothing about the basics.”

Yoo Eun-chae grew quiet at my words.

A pleasing atmosphere settled in.

“But don’t worry. Today, I’ll teach you some fairly useful things.”

“No way, that?”

Yoo Eun-chae seemed quite expectant.

The Art of Freezing Time.

But that’s not something to teach yet.

I’m not holding Freezing Time as a hostage.

“It’d freeze you if you tried to learn it in your current state.”

“……”

“Anyway, we’ll learn basic magic.”

I tossed three black stones to them.

“It’s a magic stone. It’s filled with mana that can be harvested by monsters. You can enchant it to inscribe something on an object, or even create artifacts with it.”

“This looks really expensive.”

“Yeah, it is expensive. And it’s also the prize for today’s class.”

“hehehehe, you really care about me, pretending not to.”

“And if you don’t succeed within the given time period, it will be taken away.”

“Don’t worry! I passed the basic mana manipulation as third place.”

Fourth place, actually.

Well, Seon Woo-hyun passed with his innate ability, so it wasn’t wrong to say he was third place.

“After all, the basic mana manipulation is something you practice in your daily life with your innate ability.”

Still, now that he succeeded once, he quickly regained his senses.

“And today’s class is about inscribing a fire magic spell on that magic stone.”

“Is it easy?”

“Does it look easy?”

“…No, no, no! It suddenly looks difficult, and I have a feeling I won’t be able to do it today!”

“Right.”

Today’s class won’t be as easy as last time.

Although everyone learned magic to some extent and had special powers, it might not have been easy for them to pass.

“Maybe it will take about a week?”

It might take longer.

If they thought it was just about casting a fire spell, they were in for a surprise.

Because the moon and sky are engraved on that magical stone.

The cold that freezes even fire.

I still don’t know how difficult it is to ignite beyond that.

“Do you know about ignition magic?”

“Yes, I know the basics.”

Yoo Seorang nodded at my words.

“hehehehe, with this level of skill, you could sell it in the market for tens of millions of won…”

Yoo Eun-chae was drooling.

“Definitely…”

Shin Yura stared at the magical stone with a smug expression.

I smiled and looked at them.

Even I can’t maintain the Moon and Sky magic formula for more than a week.

It’s possible for up to 5 days with eternal magic power.

But beyond that, it’s impossible.

However, if the magical stone is incredibly expensive…

I can easily do something like that.

The purity of the magical stone is important for this training.

That’s why I took some from the budget.

“Stop it! You already took 5% of the academy’s total budget! I can’t give you anything extra!”

“Oh. Oh. I. Sav. Ed. Stu. Dents. From. The. Dis. As. Ter.”

“You just broke your own leg! And your arm that was broken earlier is already healed!”

“Argh! My heart can’t take it anymore from all the stress of saving the students!”

“Take it and go! And never come back!”

He remembered his conversation with the principal.

He even choked up at the end.

But what can he do?

He was the one who brought us into this mess.

Anyway, it was the budget that I worked so hard to tear apart.

“I have to suffer a little this time.”

*

Two hours had passed.

The three of them were still focused, casting spells.

Surprisingly, Yoo Eun-chae and Shin Yoo were progressing at an incredible speed.

Perhaps it was due to their competitive spirit.

Or maybe it was because they despised and ignored each other.

There was a strong sense of not wanting to lose.

“Yoo Se-rang seems to be the slowest.”

She was at a disadvantage.

So I lowered the difficulty level for her.

I looked at Shin Yoo and Yoo Eun-chae.

Mutual hatred and disregard.

But fortunately, know this.

I’m an expert in this field.

“How many times was it.”

Having lived three lives.

Encountering such individuals was not a one or two-time occurrence.

Growling at each other or ignoring one another.

But they all became close.

No, at least they stopped aiming swords at each other.

Thanks to my existence.

Unity.

Comrades.

I made those kinds of people fit into such words.

Thanks to my existence.

Don’t worry.

I’ll soon make you like that too.

A way to bind those two?

It’s really simple.

“Just roll them over.”

Until they’re about to die.

Or, continue on this way and face defeat to a significant extent.

Then the relationship between them will naturally improve.

So, you should consider yourselves fortunate.

Looks like I have no worthy mentor.
