Ch.413408 – Reflection Paper
by fnovelpia
NoName’s daily routine was enough to make observers hold their breath.
First, as soon as she wakes up at 7 AM, NoName dispels her drowsiness with a minty Clean magic spell.
Then she activates her hologram projector, simultaneously displaying dozens of academic PDF windows.
NoName sits in a rattling rocking chair, organizing her thoughts for hours until lunchtime arrives.
Usually on weekends, around when the clock hands meet at the very top, Cheon Saet-byeol sluggishly crawls out into the living room.
Saet-byeol lies on the sunlit living room floor, appreciating NoName’s eccentric behavior until she fully wakes up.
That expressionless face, the occasional flick of her pink tongue when deep in thought—does she really plan to master all knowledge in existence with that small head?
Bored, Saet-byeol frowns and begins deliberately interfering.
She starts by lightly approaching NoName from behind for a hug. In reality, it’s closer to strangling.
Whenever NoName remains indifferent, Saet-byeol escalates her mischief—braiding her hair, pinching her cheeks, gradually increasing the level of her pranks.
But today, NoName speaks first, grabbing her wrist.
“Saet-byeol, come here. Let’s play word chain.”
“Word chain? Why suddenly?”
“I’ll start. Sea cucumber.”
“Game.”
“Surrender.”
“Huh? But ‘game’ ends with ‘m’?”
“You win.”
“What’s the point of this?!”
The rocking chair moves back and forth again, and suddenly a dissertation title appears.
[Critical Discourse Analysis and Review of Game Disorder/Addiction Research]
“I can write this in two days easily. Let’s go prepare lunch.”
“You could’ve just asked me for words that start with ‘g’ normally.”
“I was debating between genome, guerrilla, gauge, game, and gesellschaft. I’ve used up all my old topic ideas.”
“How about getting takeout?”
Saet-byeol looked at NoName with weary eyes.
NoName, who always skips breakfast, barely eats lunch either.
Only Professor Cheon and Cheon Saet-byeol know that a quarter cup of white rice, two bites of soy-braised pork, and three spoonfuls of steamed egg transform into brilliant dissertations.
After lunch, NoName goes to her room and begins writing in earnest.
Five hours later, she staggers out of the room with a much more gaunt face.
“Are you okay, sis? Please take it easy.”
“Do I look okay?”
“No. Are you anemic again?”
“It’s just orthostatic hypotension. My leg muscles are weak. Just help me to the kitchen.”
“I’ll just carry you instead. Hup!”
Saet-byeol knew why NoName was so passionate about writing dissertations.
Setting aside her grand plan to create an apology letter from the first letters of each paper, Saet-byeol believed there was a much more important reason.
[I don’t want to think about my past life normally. I’ve made many precious relationships, and I can’t stay buried in the past forever. If I accumulate knowledge in this life, maybe my past life will become a little hazier.]
Forgetting is a blessing that God bestowed upon humans.
When great pain and hardship strike in life, time naturally resolves them.
Forgetting gives humans the strength to overcome the past and live for tomorrow.
But NoName was born with the curse of being unable to forget.
Saet-byeol could never fully understand what that felt like.
Must one remain silent about things that cannot be spoken of?
Various concerns tangled like a complicated ball of yarn, making Saet-byeol’s head spin.
“Mmm… head…”
NoName mumbled while cradled in Saet-byeol’s arms.
Looking down, Saet-byeol saw NoName breathing hot breaths, fast asleep.
NoName was naturally a sleepy child.
No wonder she’s tired, forcing herself to sleep less while overworking her brain.
“Want me to brush your hair?”
“Hehe. Seems you liked brushing others’ hair in your past life too.”
Saet-byeol snorted and turned back toward her room.
‘Since we’ll miss dinner anyway, maybe I’ll order some late-night food when NoName wakes up?’
With this mischievous thought, just as she was about to gently place NoName on the bed, NoName whispered in her sleep once more.
“I’ll start over again… Adella…”
“Huh? Are you awake?”
“…”
No answer came.
Because NoName was still in dreamland.
But there was a peaceful smile on the dreaming NoName’s face.

【Encyclopedia Owl/NoName’s Enormous Apology (Dissertation) Letters/Broadcast’s First 9-Person Relay Collab】
[※LIVE – 0:20:14]
[Encyclopedia Owl (3.41M subscribers) · 63K watching]
“I’ve been able to briefly explain to you all the background of how these dissertations—I mean apology letters—came to be. Now, let’s forget all context for a moment! Let’s dive into these eight treasures you’ve all been waiting for, together with our experts.”
Encyclopedia Owl, a Korean current affairs VTuber with over 3 million subscribers.
Nicknamed “Owl,” he planned content to explain the significance of NoName’s dissertations in an accessible way to the public.
Right now, academic societies are competing for attention.
For people confused by the simultaneous flood of news articles, this was the perfect broadcast.
Just 20 minutes into the stream, live viewers already exceeded 60,000.
Managing energy was crucial for a collaboration that would last more than 5 hours.
-Even at 30 mins each, 8 papers is 4 hours damn
-It’ll probably stretch to over 5 hours
-8 consecutive relay collabs is a new concept lol
-Could’ve milked content all week but doing it all in one day
-That’s Owl for you
-Just don’t send the guests home
“The ‘D’ in ‘I’ll never Do it again’! Let’s welcome Professor Jin Hee-chul of Organic Resonance Studies from Sejong Institute of Technology.”
Owl was well aware that this would be an extremely difficult topic.
Maintaining this viewer count depended entirely on his skills.
“Professor, when difficult content comes up, my viewers and I get headaches, chest tightness, indigestion, hair loss, sexual dysfunction, depression, and brain fog. I’d be really grateful if you could explain simply and briefly, just hitting the key points.”
“I understand completely. Don’t worry too much.”
-We’re not that bad, you jerk!
-Sexual dysfunction lolololol
-Waaah~ Chew my food for me~
-Is it even possible to simplify this…?
-Here we go
[Effects of Dichloroacetic Acid’s Tertiary Regenerative Resonance on Oxidative Stress Induced by Temporal Lobe Epilepsy]
“Epilepsy, also known as seizure disorder. The average age of death for epilepsy patients is 50. For cancer patients it’s 70, and for dementia patients it’s 85.”
“That’s incredibly low?”
“So doesn’t that make you wonder why it’s so low? The survival rate for surgery is similar to cancer.”
“That’s true. Maybe it’s more fatal in childhood?”
“That’s not wrong, but mainly, patients can’t get surgery. The national epilepsy surgery schedule is completely full.”
“Ah.”
“The core of this paper is exactly this. It opens a path for patients to gradually treat their epilepsy themselves. Their symptoms improve continuously until their turn for surgery comes.”
“Is that possible?”
“Yes, it is. Why? Because tertiary regenerative resonance can be used without a medical license! Does that make sense now?”
“Wow…!”
-She KILLED it!
-This is insane!
-Why isn’t this major news?
-This is WAY more significant than you think.
-NoName is crazy.
-The circuit diagram for secondary regenerative resonance with organochlorine compounds is already insanely complex, but tertiary? Couldn’t do it even with 100 people.
-Tertiary is closer to aura than magic.
-NoName must have decided to make it tertiary since she doesn’t have a medical license herself.
-How did she even do this?
-If this is published as a paper, what about the patent?
-No patent?
The broadcast filled with amazement and shock was just beginning.

[Complete Structuring of the Optic Nerve Connectome and Stereotactic Radiosurgery Method for Optic Neuropathy Treatment]
“If you damage your eye, you can get an artificial eye implant, but if the optic nerve is damaged, that was the end. But how did NoName solve this? She created eyes and nerves from nothing through sheer hard work.”
“Like a god?”
“Yes, like a god. Now we can proudly say: humanity has conquered vision.”
* * *
[Research on Teaching Methods for ‘L’-shaped Autoblastic Mana Circuits in Elementary and Secondary Education]
“It may not have the grand significance of the previous two papers, but I think it has great value, especially in magic powerhouses like Korea…! Do you know what this mana circuit is called, Owl?”
“Oh, I learned this in middle school. Haha, I’m hesitant to say this crude expression, but isn’t it commonly called the ‘Your Mom’ circuit?”
“It’s the Autoblastic ‘L’-shaped circuit…! 45% of mana users struggle with this L-shaped circuit in 7th grade, and NoName provided surprisingly insightful observations and improvements. Let’s take a closer look…!”

[Proof of the Andersen-Keali Conjecture, Focusing on Landau-Ginzburg Orbifolds]
“Have you heard of superstring theory? It’s the hypothesis that the smallest particles in the universe aren’t 0-dimensional but 1-dimensional strings. Many studies have been conducted assuming this string theory is true, but there’s been no proof of string theory itself. The Andersen-Keali conjecture is one of the five pillars supporting this string theory. NoName has saved at least one of them.”
* * *
[Philosophical Interpretation of the New Moon and Material Phenomenology, Exploring the Possibility as a Medium for External Manifestation]
“If you can do this motion once, you might want to try external manifestation of aura. I guarantee you’ll definitely be able to do it within 10 years.”

[Exploring Dimensional Descent Methods for 8th Circle Magic through ‘Rulspirein-Bestial-Gernum-Harayetreika’]
“Until now, only the US has succeeded with 8th circle magic by casting ‘Horizon,’ right? I actually thought no one else would succeed, but if any country does, wouldn’t it be Korea?”

[Improvement of Hadoop Distributed File System for Yottabyte-scale Quantum Computing Open World Data Processing]
“Thank you for inviting me. Wasn’t I supposed to be last?”
“Ah, the person who was scheduled to come said they were stuck in traffic, so we switched the order.”
“Anyway, yes, where was I? How important is open world data processing in games like FPS? The disadvantage of the Hadoop distributed file system is its slow response time, but this approach was truly groundbreaking.”
* * *
[Critical Discourse Analysis and Review of Game Disorder/Addiction Research]
Owl enlarged the chat window to check viewers’ reactions.
The other seven papers required at least graduate-level knowledge or beyond, making them difficult to approach casually.
But the only paper written in “readable” language was getting tremendous views in the archive.
Viewers who had been making baby noises for four hours suddenly transformed into experts.
-I strongly agree with NoName’s opinion.
-Protect teenagers’ right to self-determination!
-The way she found all the Ministry of Gender Equality’s graph manipulations is chilling lol
-There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics
-Inverting the Y-axis was too much…
“I’m sorry. There was a traffic accident ahead that blocked the road. Sorry I’m late.”
“Welcome, Manager Shin. Ah, our final session might not be easy…?”
Owl expressed concern.
The viewers’ expertise was nearly as substantial as NoName’s.
But Riot Korea’s Manager Shin Sung-jin tilted his head in confusion.
“What’s difficult about it? Isn’t today about criticizing the government with viewers while looking at NoName’s paper?”
-lolololololol
-This guy really just came to have fun
-Just type “lol” for real
-lol for real
-lol for real
-But if you actually read the paper it’s really interesting lol
-If you read carefully it’s full of polite insults lol
-Hmph, NoName is sulking!
