LIII.

It’s like a process of becoming a superhuman. The process of shedding the human form is even called ‘metamorphosis.’

It is a process in which the blood, flesh, and bones that make up the human body are changed into physical strength factors.

Since this is a process of accepting external divine power, wouldn’t the aftermath of a storm that arises from absorbing divine power from the surroundings be terrible? Even if you want to hide it, it is a trend that is difficult to hide.

You may not know it, but Evergreen Academy is probably in chaos right now. I don’t know where this area is, but I felt people with quite a heavy energy gathering around me, and at some point, they all moved away and disappeared.

I can’t know for sure because I can’t see what’s going on, but it seems like Evergreen Academy has been sorted out to some extent. Thanks to this, we, who were nervous, were able to relax and watch the process of the birth of a superhuman with a relaxed mind.

The process of metamorphosis to become a superman was, in a word, fascinating.

The human body, made of blood and flesh, is completely transparent, as if it were a transparent jellyfish. The brightly shining light made the transparent body look even more mysterious.

“Hmm. You’re metamorphosing quite standardly, aren’t you?”

“Yes. Judging by the process of metamorphosis, I would guess that the man is principled and very strict with himself.”

“No~. He is a stubborn and frustrating person~.”

“Unmanned vehicles need that part.”

The clown and the witch were talking to each other, saying things I couldn’t understand. However, it didn’t seem like it was too much to ask to know.

So I pretended to know and nodded calmly.

However, the fun I felt while watching the amazing scene was short-lived. You have to know something to have fun or not.

It’s already been half a day since Vice Dean Fletcher, a transparent figure with divine power seeping into every part of his body, is sparkling. It’s not a woman who is willing to see her inner skin, but a man.

Moreover, I cannot practice for fear of interfering with my awakening. No, my more honest feeling is that I have no idea what to do with that swirling storm of divine power beside me.

So all I can do is stand and watch in fascination, then sit down on the floor and watch in boredom.

“Perhaps. You call it metamorphosis? How long does that take?”

“As short as a week, as long as a month.”

“Ah… ? One month?”

“Yes. And in that man’s case, it seems like it will last at least 15 days.”

“What? Why?!”

A full moon? If you practice for 15 days, you will definitely be able to improve further here.

You can’t do anything for those 15 days and just wash your hands?!

Also, the minimum?

So I had no choice but to abandon the attitude I had pretended to know a moment ago and ask why.

“Because he is undergoing a very standard transformation.”

“Huh? Standard metamorphosis? What is that again? You can guess my personality just from that, right?”

“Hohoho. Our cute baby~. Earlier, he nodded as if he knew everything~?”

“What does Master Jeggegi know?”

Words spoken out of embarrassment and embarrassment are blunt.

Now that I’ve said it, I feel even more embarrassed and my face gets hotter, as if it was just a slap from a 7-year-old boy.

“Hohoho. side! Why are you so cute~?”

“Me too!”

The clown always does this, but he wraps his arms around my neck and kisses me with his lips all over my face, making a ‘cheek’ sound. And the clown approaches as if being chased by something, creating a familiar scene.

“I thought it was cute. Me too.”

As expected, it is a familiar scene. The witch’s behavior made me chuckle without realizing it, and the mood changed again. It wasn’t that the atmosphere was bad to begin with.

“Metamorphosis. The process of becoming a superhuman is different for each person. However, they are broadly classified into four types. It is the base, the power of defeat, the four days, and the magic essence.”

The witch began explaining the process of becoming a superhuman in a calm voice.

However, the content, which I did not expect anything from, is actually more interesting than watching Vice Dean Fletcher progress to becoming a superhuman.

Base.

As the name suggests, it is the most stable and basic process of transformation. It is said that it is mainly seen when those who lead an ascetic life among sects, orthodox white magicians undergo a metamorphosis, or when saints or saints awaken.

Although the period is long, the vital energy body is stable and the metamorphosis is achieved at the same time, and the strongest state is reached at the end of the metamorphosis, and the speed of development is the fastest even when the metamorphosis is completed.

Defeat.

Just as the two Chinese characters both symbolize power, the metamorphosis of the body forms the beginning and end.

Of course, this does not mean that physical strength or other parts do not increase, but it is said to be a type of metamorphosis that occurs in the highest proportion in the martial arts and knight series as the body evolves rapidly and raises other parts.

The period is usually about a week. Among the vital organs, the development of the body stands out.

Four days.

It means ‘shooting the sun.’ This type of metamorphosis is a very rare case.

Among the vital bodies, Jeong (精), a kind of metamorphosis that occurs when the soul’s status increases. It is said that the name was given because the way the soul’s level rises during metamorphosis is like an arrow shooting at the sun.

It is said to be a tendency usually seen in the metamorphosis of spiritists, some wizards, or shamans. It is said that it will take at least ten days.

Demon essence.

It means it’s the essence of evil, but it’s not a bad thing. It is a type in which energy, or spiritual power, increases explosively, raising the level of the body and soul, and occurs mainly among magicians or warriors who developed martial arts through mental training rather than physical training. It is called form.

Unexpectedly, the disadvantage is that the risk of injury or death is the highest among all transformations, but if the spiritual power core can handle it and there is a way to increase the spiritual power, it is the only way to become a superhuman, even if forced.

“It’s fascinating. The story was interesting, but then that means at least 15 days, right? Can’t even go out? Aren’t you going to starve to death like this?”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

A familiar yet somewhat grumpy voice. I understand without looking back. He is the dean. I didn’t even notice any sign of him appearing.

Well, it might be even stranger to feel a presence in this storm of divine power.

“Hmm? No need to worry?”

“I will be here now, so you… … . okay. Now, make a window.”

This is said as if changing caregiving. Dean Hu seemed to think that I had been protecting Vice Dean Fletcher all along.

Of course, that part is not entirely absent, but the crucial reason why we are here watching Vice Dean Fletcher’s sparkling body is due to the unstable flow of divine power and the position of the Vice Dean lying across the door.

Because the door was blocked, it was impossible to move using the bracelet as usual. I asked the witch just in case, but she was more into witches’ secret arts than traditional magic. Rather, they are secret arts that were developed earlier than what is now called ‘orthodox’ magic.

She also apologized, saying that moving with me included could not guarantee 100% safety, as she might have been alone in such a storm of overflowing divine power.

Are you going “? How?”

So, those words were bound to come out of my mouth.

“That’s it… … . Oh my.”

Dean Hu looks around, realizes his mistake, laughs awkwardly, and grabs his forehead with one hand.

“Anyway, wouldn’t you feel strange because your friend became a superhuman? If this continues, I might have to give up my position as dean?”

Afterwards, the atmosphere of the dean was different from usual. It wasn’t an extremely sharp atmosphere that felt like it wouldn’t allow access, but rather a cozy and somehow padam-padam atmosphere, so I played around like that.

Of course it was a joke. however,

“That would be good too. No, Fletcher would be a better person than me if he took the position of dean.”

What followed was completely unexpected. ‘What’s wrong?! ‘You bastard?’ I expected the same thing to come out, but not at all.

Looking at Vice Dean Fletcher, who is lying down and absorbing endless amounts of divine power in a voice that seems watery at first glance, he gives such an unexpected response.

“What is it? who are you? There’s no way someone like Yeongtaeng would be this obedient! Are you a demon? Let’s fight!”

It was half joking and half serious. I don’t know if the atmosphere around the dean after now is due to the storm of divine power, but it somehow feels empty, as if I’ve lost the will to live.

“Well, I’ve been a bit too much to you. I’ve poked around here and there in my own way, and I’ve never let go of my doubts, but I’ll take this opportunity to make a promise. Full support.”

“What, what! What is this! Do it as usual! This is Yeongtaeng! Goosebumps!!”

“Hehehehehe.”

Old Man Hu’s attitude changed so much that it really gave me goosebumps. Even though I used the word ‘yeonggamtaengi’ and even though I spoke informally, I just ended up laughing ‘hehehehehe’.

“First of all… . Take this first.”

Afterwards, the dean handed me a palm-sized pouch. Before I could even ask what this was, perhaps because of the open mouth of the pocket, the contents of the pocket came into my mind as soon as I touched it.

“Hmm? What does this do?”

At first glance, it looked like material. There were metal ingots, and there was also some unidentifiable powder-like stuff. There are also some in small water bottles.

I could confirm what they were by pulling them out one by one, holding them in my hand, and checking them with Confession’s abilities, but I didn’t want to let Dean Hu know that I had such abilities.

“Take it and go to the ‘Slipped Hand’ blacksmith shop in Merchant Street. If you say I sent it, they will make it for you.”

“Slipped hand? What kind of blacksmith’s name is so ominous?”

“Huh? Why is it ominous?”

“For some reason, I thought, ‘Oops, my hand slipped?’ It looks like he’s going to laugh slyly… No, it doesn’t work. Anyway, if I go there, will they make it for you?”

“Okay. And as you can see, this place won’t be available for a while. So, live in a place like an inn for a while.”

“First of all, it’s a merchant district, right? Slipped hand.”

“Okay.”

“Good. Then, I will leave this to you and I will stay in the Caligo Church for the time being.”

“To the Caligo Church?”

“In this situation, is there a better place to practice than there?”

“Well. Tsk. So are you going to move now?”

“Yes. Now. We are ready.”

As the two Arcana competitively wrap their arms around me and nod their heads, feeling the squishy yet pleasant sensation, Dean Hu, unlike usual, pulls out a staff out of the air and holds it while reciting a rune.

“Symbol. Category―Teleport.”

Light emanates from a large mana stone attached to the head of a long staff that reaches up to the Dean’s chest. And each time he utters one starter word, light dances in the air.

The first thing that appears above our heads is a circle large enough to enclose all three of us.

When the word ‘space movement’ is mentioned, the circle that was just filled with pure white light is automatically filled with geometric patterns and runes.

And what light ultimately created was a magic circle made of light without any catalyst or materials. It’s also a space movement magic circle.

“Imprinting—Pfft! Mass―Teleport.”

Dean Juan also groaned as he expressed his magic, wondering if it was easy to use space-travel magic amidst the swirling divine power.

My vision recovered from the pouring light, and we arrived at an empty room without any furniture.

I called Lina through the communication application installed on the Evergreen Pad, met her, and were heading to the blacksmith shop.
