good.

The escape route has been secured.

“Do, Mr. Dojin. Now use the sealing magic… ?”

Yoon Ji-an, one of the two people staring in the main auditorium, has an astonished expression on his face.

Even I think it’s a bit surprising.

Now, I did not forcefully break the sealing spell, but released it.

That means only one thing.

It means that if I put my mind to it, I could become a thief who could rob the magic safe in a rich man’s house.

“Jian, now is not the time to be surprised. “We need to evacuate people quickly.”

“yes? Ah, yes!”

Yoon Ji-an, who suddenly came to his senses, rushed over and began guiding the association employees and other specially admitted students to the exit.

If possible, I would like to leave as quietly as possible.

“Chu, it’s the exit!”

“The door is open!”

I don’t know why these bastards like to scream so much.

The roaring sound that had been so fierce just a moment ago disappeared.

It seems that the male professor and the wizard also reacted after hearing the sound made by one of the special admission students.

“Umm… !”

“Uh, how did the door… !”

The reactions of the two people are quite contrasting.

Professor Nam had a satisfied expression on his face, and the wizard looked like he was having a hard time believing that the door I had worked so hard to lock had been opened.

But that was only for a moment.

The wizard’s face gradually began to distort like a hideous evil creature.

“How dare someone interfere with a religious event…” !”

Ah, now I understand.

Where does that guy belong?

Just as hunters have guilds, villains also form groups with like-minded people.

Among them, there is one villain group that has been rapidly expanding its power over the past five years.

The name is probably… .

“Was it Gwangmyeong Bridge?”

Are you saying that you will brighten the world with true light in a world stained with lies?

Roughly speaking, it is a pseudo-religion and villain group created around a villain with such an ideology.

Among the villains, it is the only place that refers to their group as a cult, so it is certain.

“I was wondering why they wanted to kidnap the new students.”

Unlike other villain groups, the Gwangmyeong Church has a very unique means of expanding its power.

The most common method they use to expand their power is kidnapping.

Kidnapping the necessary people and using them as prisoners.

That was how Gwangmyeong Church expanded its influence.

Honestly, if you just hear this, you’ll wonder what it means.

Is there any way that the kidnapped people would obediently follow their words?

But at Gwangmyeong Bridge, that is possible.

No, there is someone who can make that possible.

The leader of Gwangmyeong Church.

Villain name ‘Brain Washer’.

A semi-S level villain who is judged to have brainwashing or equivalent abilities.

“I guess they wanted to rip off the students who were admitted under special circumstances.”

It seems like they wanted to take all the specially admitted students with proven talent and make them their future.

“You’re very greedy, huh.”

They must be very hot guys.

They used S-class magic stones, which are expensive, and even high-ranking wizards to plot things.

It seems that donations coming into Gwangmyeong Bridge are overflowing.

Most of the association’s employees, including specially admitted students, have left.

I looked at the magic stones lying on the platform.

A halo of light that slowly goes out.

I can tell that the completion of the magic circle is not far away.

I shouted at the male professor who was confronting the wizard.

“professor! The teleportation magic circle will be activated soon! “You need to get out right now!”

“Teleport… ?”

The middle-aged professor’s complexion hardened in an instant.

The wizard grits his teeth and begins to look at me.

“Tsk… ! How to teleport… , no way?”

what.

It seems like he figured it out.

“Kukkk!”

Suddenly, the guy starts laughing.

There is madness in the eyes that are looking at me, so it looks like he is up to something.

“I can’t help it.”

The magic power flowing through the wizard’s entire body begins to swell.

“I have no choice but to take you guys with me… !”

The amount of magical power flowing out is extraordinary.

It seems like they are planning to take us back somehow in a final struggle.

“That won’t work.”

It immediately gathered magical power.

Most of the magical power that was dormant in the body was gathered into the fingertips.

I was shocked for a moment.

The speed at which magical power is gathered has become incomparably faster than before… !

I try to calm my excited mind and delicately control my magical power.

The color applied is pure white.

As the color of magical power gradually turns white, the surrounding temperature drops.

You can’t hurt him with attack magic.

Because I won’t be able to pierce the magic power activated throughout my body at my current level.

So, let’s just lightly interfere with the movement.

「Ice Wall.」

The ground beneath his feet is tinged with chills.

At the same time, solid ice began to rise from there.

Damn it! Damn it!

The wall that rose up at once surpassed the guy’s height and blocked his path.

Same goes for the sides and back.

The guy’s face can be seen through the thick ice wall.

A very embarrassed expression.

It won’t be difficult for him to break down this wall.

But that was enough.

If only I could narrow down my range of maneuver for just a moment and create an opening.

“Professor, now!”

“Umm… !”

The professor seemed to hesitate for a moment, then turned his back and ran at high speed.

He arrived in just a couple of steps and immediately grabbed me by the nape of my neck with a cruel hand.

“Keck!”

While I was literally screaming in despair, the sound of the tremendous wind hit my ears.

When I came to my senses, I realized that my entire body was outside the main auditorium.

And it started at the same time.

The appearance of a teleportation magic circle.

Wooow!

A blue pillar rose from beneath the ground and enveloped the entire auditorium.

A huge magic circle was drawn in the sky.

It is the shape of a teleportation magic circle felt under the ground.

Along with that, the main auditorium gradually disappears.

“Nooo!”

I can hear it.

The bastard’s scream.

I can’t believe I invested S-class magic stones and only got one building.

“There’s a tiger here.”

If that’s not a joke, what’s a joke?

Finally, the main auditorium was engulfed in light and disappeared.

As the halo of light slowly subsides, a huge magic circle that appears beneath the ground, having exhausted its usefulness, is emitting traces of blue magical power.

I finally feel at ease.

“phew.”

I almost became a Gwangmyeong believer.

*

Because the Patriot Hall had disappeared, students who were admitted under special circumstances gathered and sat in the other main auditorium, the Yeongryeong Hall.

The reason for gathering was to resume the entrance ceremony.

In times like these, we should show off our health by proceeding with the event rather than canceling it or something.

I repeated the national ritual that I had already done once and sat down.

In front, a relay of professors’ congratulatory speeches continues, but I can’t hear anything.

The most important thing to me now is what happens in the empty attribute box.

“Status window.”

I immediately opened the status window and checked again the messages that had passed by while I was writhing in pain.

[Characteristics are assigned based on the experience collected so far.]

[The user is given a new attribute, ‘one with qualities.’]

[Changes in the body are scheduled to occur.]

[Prepare for pain!]

“… “Is this guy kidding me?”

Are you rolling around in pain, blocking out your senses, and preparing for the pain?

Isn’t this enough to make fun of people?

“Whoa.”

Let’s be patient.

What on earth is that trait anyway?

“A person with qualifications… ?”

What kind of qualities do you have?

Several more messages arrived later.

If you check that, will you find the answer?

[Body application completed.]

[The user’s ability efficiency has been increased by 1.2 times.]

[The user’s talents blossom further.]

[When certain conditions are met, ‘magic power absorption’ is possible.]

“… “Is this right?”

Somehow my body felt lighter and stronger.

For awakened people, traits are like winning the lottery.

My future life will be determined by what I was born with.

In that sense, my characteristics now are… .

“It’s first place.”

I haven’t heard or seen it.

This means that there is a characteristic that further develops talent and boosts ability efficiency.

Currently, the highest ability level I have is physical strength.

The figure is 30.

Multiply this by 1.2… , becomes 36.

“crazy.”

A swear word came out without me even realizing it.

Figure 6.

Maybe it doesn’t feel that big right now.

However, this makes no sense considering that the rate of increase will increase enormously as growth continues.

In the past, when I was at my peak with Son Si-woo’s body, my physical strength was 90.

If 1.2 times is applied, it jumps to a ridiculous figure of 108.

At that rate, I wouldn’t be out of breath even if I traveled around the world.

As the total amount of ability increases, the value of 1 becomes very large.

In order to raise the ability level by 1, you have to grind your soul.

But I can get an additional number of 18 without any effort.

“This is not at the lottery level… .”

Correct.

I think my characteristic is not winning first place in the lottery, but winning first place in Powerball.

That too has been carried over for several months.

“Whoa… .”

I exhaled calmly and calmed myself.

Because the message is not over yet.

[User becomes the 504th person to have the qualification.]

[All positions have been filled by the last user.]

[Further develop your characteristics and prepare for the coming fate.]

“… … .”

I read all the past messages with meaningful words in the end.

The last message left me with a lot of questions in my head.

The saying to further develop the last characteristic probably means that the characteristic of ‘a person with qualities’ is a growth-type characteristic with open growth potential.

Up to this point, it’s not that big of a deal.

Until now, there have been a number of people with growth-type characteristics.

What bothers me is what happened before and after.

It’s the 504th last place and the fate to come… .

What on earth is that ambiguous number, and what is this fate that is to come?

Suddenly, my mind started to become complicated.
