Chapter Index

    “… Substituting the proof, we can see that even an F1 born from a P with a particle sensitivity of 0 can develop into a wizard. Now everyone, turn to page 412 and check the summary of Ferman’s formula at the top. According to this formula, it can be seen that 55 to 87% of the sum of the Rubin values of the parents is the upper limit of the maximum particle amount in the future body. However, the higher the P combination, the higher the sum of the Rubin values, the later improvements occur very slowly or show little increase, and this upper limit is estimated to be around 7000R… ”

    The afternoon classroom was sleepy. The old professor’s gentle voice became a lullaby and spread everywhere.

    Among those who were trying hard to suppress their drowsiness and cram in knowledge, one female student was particularly lively and maintained an upright posture.

    Seeing her strange appearance, another female student sitting next to her spoke with a flattering smile.

    “Minhaya. Do you know that your face is very bright these days? Maybe it’s something good… ”

    “… Ha?”

    At the greasy voice that broke her concentration, Yeon Myeong-ha frowned and looked sideways.

    Only then did I become aware of the fact that the angle of the corners of my mouth was slightly pointing upward.

    As if it had never happened, she instantly returned to her usual cold expression.

    “Hehe. Oh, it’s nothing… ”

    “Tsk… ”

    Seeing the female student’s embarrassed expression, Yeon Myeong-ha lightly clicked her tongue and looked away again.

    But the corners of her mouth started to rise again, and she had to put in a lot of effort to control them.

    In fact, the female student’s flattery wasn’t entirely wrong.

    ***

    On the first day, I thought it was just a coincidence. Or, I struggled to control my mind, thinking that it was some kind of evil plan to drag me into a deeper nightmare.

    Something so absurd had happened to her.

    But it’s already been three days.

    Have you ever heard whispers of shadows and auditory hallucinations from outer space that make it impossible for you to sleep?

    Today too, I had such a pleasant and comfortable sleep that I almost didn’t want to open my eyes. The headache that always bothered her was gone. The body was as light as a feather and seemed as if it would float into the sky at any moment.

    During the day, shadows and illusions still lingered far away. However, it did not come close enough to interfere with daily life like before. No evil sneers or illusions are heard.

    Maybe it was because my mental strength had recovered from the rest, but I no longer felt as scared as before. Moreover, both their shapes and sounds were becoming blurred day by day.

    On the way back to the dormitory after finishing work for the day. Feeling pity, I suddenly raised my head and looked at the sky.

    “Ah… ”

    All I could see in those eyes was a beautiful landscape with the early evening moon and stars rising and sparkling all over.

    Naturally, a small exclamation erupted.

    Now I couldn’t control the corners of my mouth from rising.

    I have no choice but to believe this.

    He finally succeeded in overcoming the mental pollution that had been a long-held wish of the Yeon family.

    Of course, it was quite disappointing that I couldn’t understand the English text.

    In fact, it was a bit strange that it was quiet at night when my sensitivity became more sensitive, and that symptoms of mental contamination remained during the day.

    Still, it’s not that important in the current situation. That’s because it’s something you can gradually go back to the family and research.

    Naturally, what came to mind for Yeon Yeon-ha was her parents.

    When they realize that they have achieved this kind of achievement, they too will have no choice but to reflect on themselves.

    -Hwareuk…

    As she closed and opened her hands, several sparkling sparks appeared and disappeared instantly.

    Her recovered spirit soon led to an increase in her magical skills. In the past few days, two additional types of spirits have even been discovered and ministered to.

    All the way back to the dormitory, I was filled with deep, pitiful happiness.

    The past few days have been so difficult that I wanted to die, but now that I think about it, I wonder if it was just the final hardship for complete recovery.

    -Dang…

    “… Oh my.”

    At the entrance of the dormitory, returning at a flying pace, Yeon-sik Lee let out a small exclamation when she saw something furry.

    The cute and fresh cat from back then was sitting in front of the front door again today, without fail.

    However, the eyebrows are drooped and the eyes are moist, giving the impression that he looks very sad.

    She always liked animals more than people. There can’t even be a comparison between black guys whose insides you don’t know and animals that are honest and faithful to their instincts.

    -Hiya… !

    I tried to approach and pet it as if it were possessed, but I had no choice but to step back due to its wary jaw.

    I was very disappointed that I missed the opportunity last time. I wanted to gently scratch its belly, which was lying comfortably as if it were its own home, but the cat started talking and the cat woke up…

    “… Wow.”

    Feeling a sudden chill, Yeon Myeong-ha unconsciously wrapped her arms around her shoulders and let out a small moan. Just thinking about that guy made me so miserable that he ended up like this.

    She opened the front door, slightly avoiding the cat, and entered the dormitory.

    There was no feeling of popularity in the dormitory at all. Surely today was the start of external request week for first-year students? Earlier in the morning, I saw him packing up a lot of luggage and heading out.

    Thinking that he won’t be seen for at least the next 2-3 days, I automatically sigh with relief.

    “… ”

    It’s already been a week since the dorm was taken over by that crazy guy.

    It was truly a humiliating and shameful day.

    I was at the point where I wanted to hang myself. I ended up showing him all kinds of shame that should never be shown to a stranger.

    Even as I gritted my teeth, wanting to tear the guy to death, I trembled from the fear of death that tingled in my lower abdomen.

    Wasn’t it like that just this morning?

    I tried my best to muster up the courage to block his path, but one small gesture from him turned my head blank and I couldn’t do anything.

    When he came to his senses again, he had already left the dormitory and disappeared.

    What’s more frustrating is that I still can’t guess its purpose.

    There were widespread rumors that he was a pervert who liked to train others, so he was even prepared to bite his tongue if he even touched his body.

    But he didn’t even show the slightest interest, let alone touched it.

    Like a sticky slug, it just clings silently to its dormitory.

    “… ”

    He looked towards the bastard’s living quarters, which had once been his room.

    He is a black guy on the inside. It is clear that a distorted, ugly, perverted face is hiding behind that mask.

    It makes no sense at all, both in terms of common sense and logic, for a guy like that to humiliate himself like this and then do nothing at all.

    Could it be that someone breaks a hole in the room and secretly spies on their bedroom?

    “… Hehe.”

    Just imagining it sent goosebumps and fear through my body.

    Confirming her decision, Yeon Myeong-ha placed her trembling hand on the door handle. I took a deep breath and consoled myself to stay calm. If not now when he’s gone, when are you going to check?

    She finally gathered her courage and turned the door handle.

    “… Huh?”

    It was a moment when I was trying to dig into all the injustices that the guy had done, but an idiotic moan came out of Companion Ha’s mouth for a moment.

    All she faced was a surprisingly empty void.

    It was still the same place he left empty, and he couldn’t possibly think that it was a place where people lived.

    No spying holes, no suspicious recording devices, nothing could be seen.

    “… ”

    I couldn’t help but tilt my head and wonder if the thing living in this room was a ghost.

    -Good luck!

    “Hi… Hehe… ”

    I was standing there blankly like that.

    Suddenly, at the sound of something falling coming from outside the window, Yeon Myeong-ha trembled and fell into her seat.

    My heart sank as I wondered if he had come back, but it was just the sound of a bird sitting on a branch of a garden tree flying away, causing the fruit to fall.

    “… Wow.”

    No matter what his purpose is, I just can’t live like this.

    Even if you overcome mental pollution, this is ridiculous.

    But no matter how many times I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with a clear answer.

    Apart from his perverted and ruthless character. That skill is real. It has already become impossible to subdue him in direct combat.

    He even went so far as to say that if he was wrong, he would expose his disgrace to the world.

    I can’t ask my family for help. We cannot inconvenience ourselves at a time when the aftermath of the last Teradite mine terror attack has not yet been completed. It is even a very humiliating and shameful matter.

    I felt downcast for a moment at the desolation of not being able to get an answer, but I shook my head in sympathy and shook off my sadness.

    “Ah, I hope it takes as long as possible… ”

    Suddenly muttering, she reflexively hoped for Yu Jin-hyeon’s late return.

    Although it was still early in the evening, he left the room out of pity and headed to his bedroom.

    My heart was already full as I looked forward to a good night’s sleep today.

    ***

    “Oh my god, they were all caught in one day, are you saying?”

    “Hehe, it just so happened to be like that… ”

    A Homeland Security office in a remote area of the capital. A female student with bleached hair smiled as she handed a request form to an employee of the Security Bureau. The employee who received the document raised his glasses and widened his eyes.

    “I’ve already handed over everything and am on my way back. You can contact us right away to check.”

    “No, no. There’s no way a student from the cradle would lie about something like this. Anyway, everything will be proven later.”

    The security bureau employee shook his head. He then stamped the received request form again and returned it to the female student. Her grin deepened.

    Sera Yoo visited the Security Bureau branch on behalf of the group members who made this request. No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed right for Yoo Jin-hyeon to be the group leader, but due to his refusal, I ended up taking this position myself.

    In fact, the rapid success of this request was at least 90% due to his credit.

    There was no need to dig a trap or lure. They couldn’t even move.

    As soon as night fell, he confidently entered the dark slums, single-handedly overpowered the mutants and dragged them out.

    “It looks like the people who came this time are very skilled. Honestly, I thought it would take three days. The students who came last year were really bad… ”

    “Hihi, actually, there is one friend in our group who is very talented. But what kind of mutation is this? As far as I know, there has never been a sighting report from this part of the world… ”

    “Still, we were curious about that and were about to proceed with the investigation. If you have any questions later, please contact the Yoram Academic Affairs Office… ”

    -A rattle~

    After receiving the request form, I was about to have a quick chat with the employee. Suddenly, I turned around when I heard the door opening, and saw a man walking into the Security Bureau branch.

    He had a thin face with glasses and was wearing a white robe with traces of dried dark red liquid on his body.

    “Haha, it’s been a while.”

    “Isn’t this the director? But what happens here?”

    In response to the employee’s question, the man wearing glasses suddenly looked embarrassed.

    “I heard the news that the mutant who occurred this time was arrested. Speaking of those guys, I think they are the same guys who broke into our lab site last time. I came here to ask for your cooperation as I think an investigation will be necessary before taking action.”

    “Ah, if that’s the case… ”

    As they greeted each other happily, Sarah gave a puzzled look. The security bureau employee who noticed this turned around and introduced the man.

    “Ah, this person is the director of the research institute under Hokyung Industrial. You know that, right? Jeokhwa Yeon’s… ”

    “… Ah.”

    Of course I knew. Group member Yoo Jin-hyeon’s mentor and the family of Yoram’s scary senior, Yeon Myeong-ha. And they own a Stellite mining company.

    A man in a gown approached Sarah and expressed his gratitude.

    “Thanks to you, I was able to avoid major trouble. A woman like this, no, a female student, can achieve such great things. Your spirit is truly amazing. My separate reward… ”

    “Ah, yes… ”

    Although Sarah welcomed the man’s gratitude, she thought to herself that his tone of voice was very unusual.

    ***

    Late at night on the second day after leaving the cradle. I was able to set foot on the dormitory grounds again. The request was completed faster than expected, and the leader, Sarah, said she would take care of all the annoying work.

    All of the mutants in the request were captured. The work was done very quickly and there were no additional casualties. When I handed them over one by one, I was very satisfied with the surprised eyes of the Security Bureau employees.

    If you successfully complete the B-level quest that follows a few days later, you will have an excellent foundation for achieving top grades.

    Moreover, as I traveled around to receive requests, I felt that all the depressing thoughts that came to mind when I was secluded were also diluted a little.

    The cradle is not a very pleasant place for me. I also think that if I qualify for a solo quest, it would be better to accumulate points through commissions rather than classes.

    With that in mind, I stepped into the now familiar entrance of the dormitory.

    When I looked from outside, the lights had already gone out and everything was dark. I think I’ve fallen asleep already.

    “… ?”

    But as soon as I got inside, I could feel something strange.

    A strange goosebumps enveloped my entire body.

    In the dark, long hallway, things seem to be even more messed up than when I left.

    -Ugh… Black… no…

    And before long, the small sound of someone sobbing can be heard from somewhere.

    For some reason, it was a very familiar crying sound. Before long, I could see someone curled up like a caterpillar in the corner of the living room.

    “Huh… go away… please… ”
