The Reincarnated Person Became a Professor at the Academy

Honestly, even for me, 10 trillion won was an amount that pricked my conscience a little.

「Well, to be honest, I think this is actually cheaper.」

「Huh?」

「If it weren’t for Professor Han Seojin, this island would have fallen to the Insect Dragon King. Why do you think this artificial island was created?」

「Spirit Vein.」

「Yes, that’s right. The spirit vein made with the principal’s authority and the cooperation of the dragons. And the artificial island built on top of it. This artificial island has to float on the sea, and it has all kinds of facilities, including exercise equipment worth billions. If you convert all of this into money, it exceeds 100 trillion. And if it gets destroyed, it has to be rebuilt, right?」

「…」

「That’s why it’s 10 trillion. It’s the cost of protecting it.」

It was Abel’s words.

He was basically saying that,

Even if others couldn’t, it was okay for me to receive it.

「Still, it’s too much. Is it really okay to give this much money?」

「You took it without shame, and now you’re acting all modest.」

Abel said, as if he found it absurd.

「Well, but there’s still some of the principal’s wealth left, so it’s fine.」

「How much?」

「About 10 trillion more. The status of a space ability user in this world is far greater than what Professor Han Seojin thinks. For example, creating a ‘Warp Gate’ that can move from the U.S. to China all at once.」

A Warp Gate.

Such a thing existed.

A technology of the space series that only VVIPs could use.

I was worried about how to get in here because of the Insect Dragon King, but I could pass through at once because of what the principal had made.

「Anyway, that’s how it is. The amount of 10 trillion is the maximum we could offer as a gesture of sincerity, and because the threat was that significant.」

「What do you mean?」

「What is it?」

「You said you could add 5 trillion more.」

「The Vampire Princess.」

「Don’t bring up the princess.」

「Haha, actually, there’s one more thing hidden.」

「What is it?」

「Don’t you think something’s odd? Too many dangerous things are targeting us, even things that shouldn’t normally be after us.」

「…」

「If the professor didn’t exist, how many of us would have died? Maybe more than half of us would have died in America.」

In other words, this money is…

「It’s a bribe to take good care of us students.」

「Is that so.」

I was already planning to watch over them in my own way.

“Why do you have so much money?”

Suddenly, Yoo Eunchae said that.

“No, think about it. How much money have you spent so far? It seems to be well over a hundred billion.”

“That’s true.”

Even I was surprised.

The sheer magnitude of 10 trillion won was truly immense.

I was sweeping up every elixir available.

‘The money just doesn’t seem to run out.’

It was almost frightening.

‘Even Abel said he could add another five trillion here.’

Ten trillion won.

The Principal gave me that money for a simple reason.

I protected the academy.

And I killed the Demon King.

The Insect Dragon King, that was.

I protected the students of the academy.

Currently, the nine students who were being nurtured with utmost care at the academy.

Even excluding the children of the Iron-Blood Sword Clan, there were four prestigious families and their equivalents among the Five Great Clans.

‘Ah, maybe not.’

Recently, the Five Great Families were reorganized.

The Iron-Blood Sword Clan was excluded, and the Wi Clan took its place.

However, the Wi Clan did not strip everything from the Iron-Blood Sword Clan.

They too diligently siphoned off the wealth of the Iron-Blood Sword Clan, but the other four families also participated and siphoned off a fair share.

If the Iron-Blood Sword Clan was at the forefront, now all four other families, excluding the Wi Clan, had become stronger.

‘Still, the Wi Clan is formidable too.’

The power of the Wi Clan was explosive.

However, if they did not reach a certain level, their minds become unstable.

I resolved that for them.

A method of mental study.

The Buddhist method of enlightenment.

Although it was a cheap trick, the Wi Clan made tremendous progress with it.

‘I can’t believe how recklessly they were pushing themselves.’

It was truly absurd.

After saying that, I looked around the market.

Market.

It was a system-linked power in a blue window.

Here, I was sweeping away the elixirs.

“Ah, buy that too.”

“Which one?”

“The sealed jar #481917 over there.”

“Why that?”

“That jar contains a millennium snow ginseng.”

“What?!”

I quickly made the purchase.

[500,000,000 won has been deducted.]
[A 7% fee has been applied…]
“Wow, since I benefited thanks to you, can I buy some too?”

“No, I already bought yours.”

“What?”

“This one.”

[Pure White Pill (S)]
It generally contained pure qi. Even if I obtained it, I would gain considerable magical power.

However, I decided to give this to Yoo Eunchae.

‘Because I’m going to eat something else.’

The millennium snow ginseng that Yoo Eunchae mentioned.

And another elixir obtained by investing a whopping 1 trillion won.

[Millennium Polygonum (S+)]
An elixir with an energy similar to that of ten-thousand-year-old snow ginseng.

‘Actually, it didn’t really need to be 1 trillion won.’

I had no choice because I got into a bidding war with other guys.

The fortunate thing was that I could win.

If it had been a national-level competition, I might have lost.

‘Luckily, those Holy ones don’t consume elixirs.’

There were three countries in this world fighting for global dominance.

The United States.

And India. And China.

Those three countries were vying for supremacy.

The United States and India used Holy power.

China had accepted the power of martial arts, and in the process, the war had grown, placing them effectively in third place.

Since they were still recovering from the wounds of the war, they couldn’t turn their attention to such matters.

‘But still, well.’

I stared at the jar containing the Millennium Polygonum and the Millennium snow ginseng.

Two elixirs possessing the energies of Yin and Yang.

If I consumed these two elixirs, I might reach the Supreme Realm.

“But I’m really curious.”

“About what?”

“How much did you receive?”

I smiled at Yoo Eunchae’s question.

I’d never tell her.

After finding out from Yoo Eunchae how to open the jar.

I headed to the training ground where I had created an artificial spirit vein.

It had been quite a while.

I only came here when I created this place and trained the kids.

I had grown complacent.

If I had known the Insect Dragon King would resurrect.

And that the Heavenly Demon and the Duke of Extermination would appear, I should have trained here day and night.

I closed my eyes.

I could feel all the mana in this place.

Slowly, I feel the divine within me resonating with them.

‘Fortunately, this place is fairly intact.’

However, if there’s a problem, it’s because I cut off part of the spirit vein.

The spirit vein was weakened.

The mana it provided was reduced to about half of what it usually was.

‘A bit disappointing.’

The mana of the spirit vein was pure.

Therefore, training on the artificial island where the academy was established wa sbetter than consuming high-grade elixirs like meals.

And when consuming elixirs now, by appropriately utilizing the mana of the spirit vein…

‘It has the effect of consuming three elixirs.’

That effect had dropped.

But it should still be roughly 2.5 elixirs.

I took out the Millennium Snow Ginseng and the Millennium Polygonum.

The snow ginseng, covered in frost.

And the aged polygonum, looking like a balloon flower.

I put the two in my mouth and chewed them.

Hwaaak!

The cold and hot energies reached the god who created the Great Sky Dancing Divine Mantra.

And then.

Srrr.

They soon moved to my heart and were absorbed as they were.

‘Tasty.’

Having transcended twice, perhaps it was thanks to reaching the end.

My mana control was truly tremendous.

If others were to take such an elixir, digesting it would be difficult.

‘But I have the body and my circles are strong.’

I could absorb it right away.

[Magic power has increased by 20.]
Whooom!

The divine seated in my body, in my dantian.

And the two circles that existed opposite each other in my heart.

They reacted.

Tremendous and pure mana began to surge.

I drew my spear.

Wind God’s Spear.

The spear that seemed to be connected with the Wind God’s Steps.

[The blessing of the Wind God (S) is bestowed upon you.]
[A Unique Trait, Wind God, is created.]
Whoosh!

The wind billowed.

I swung the spear.

Slash!

The spear’s blade cleaved the wind. And I dashed with all my might using the Wind God’s Steps.

Paang!

In an instant, my body accelerated at an incredible speed.

The speed of sound.

I surpassed the speed of sound and accelerated further.

[The Blessing of the Wind God (S) opens the path of the wind.]
[Unique Trait, the Wind God resides in the user’s body.]
My body was excessively light.

My presence was gradually fading.

‘This.’

When I used it once before, I felt it, but this trait was similar to the ability my disciple had.

Yoo Seolrang.

The talent for ‘Void’ that she possessed.

It was similar to that.

The talent to assimilate with the wind.

Was it related to the Wind God’s Steps?

‘Come to think of it, it was strange.’

The Wind God’s Steps seemed strange even to me.

It was easy to imitate, but I couldn’t interpret it as I wanted.

The result was obtained by chance, but I didn’t like it, so I tried to modify it for a year.

‘Then I realized.’

I could modify the Wind God’s Steps.

However, achieving that would take at least three years.

At that time, I didn’t have that much time.

So, I postponed the modification of the Wind God’s Steps.

As a result, I ended up becoming a martial arts hero, experiencing the Bloodshed of Mount Hua, and saving the world on my own before all that.

Whoosh!

My body dashed forward. The speed was truly astonishing.

Not even ten seconds had passed, and I’d already covered dozens of kilometers in an instant.

I started to ponder.

‘Was the Wind God dwelling within her?’

Wind God.

A mysterious entity that left behind the Wind God’s Steps.

Perhaps it possessed a talent superior to mine in the realm of martial arts.

‘If I am a person of great prowess.’

Magic, martial arts.

And Unique Traits. If I had an all-around talent in everything.

In terms of martial arts talent alone, it might rival or even surpassed mine.

I sprinted while unfolding the Wind God’s Steps.

Before I knew it, my body had reached the edge of the artificial island.

‘Certainly, I’ve gotten faster.’

If there was no one in the same realm who could catch me before…

In my current state, except for those in the Transcendent Realm, no one could catch me.

No, even some in the Transcendent Realm couldn’t catch me.

‘Have I gained speed?’

With speed, I could do many things.

First and foremost, being able to secure success in a fight was a tremendous advantage.

Then now,

‘Shall I start some counseling?’

Shin Yura of the Magic Shin Clan.

About her.
