The cadets called out to me from behind, but I ignored them.

And after a while.

“Uh…?”

“Kk… Kkkkk…!!”

I heard a mysterious scream and the sound of the three people who had attacked me falling.

I didn’t even bother to check the status of those three.

All three would have definitely been retired.

‘No matter how much of a chaos weapon you have, it doesn’t matter.’

As it was an important final quest, I tried to be somewhat nervous.

I couldn’t lose against regular cadets even if I let my guard down to the maximum.

Those three didn’t even notice that I had summoned a mirror behind them.

‘I didn’t use any skills other than mirror summoning. Still, the effect is great.’

I checked the power being activated by the system.

[Power]==========================​​​

​

[The power is being activated.]

​

* Power Name: Chaos Mirror Prison (3rd) / Hidden / lv.10 / Archmage, Chaos

▶ Active skills

* Mirror First (lv.3)

: Summons a mirror of chaos. The abyss in the mirror begins to reflect the other person.

​

▶ Passive skills

​

* World of Abyss Mirror (∞)​

: Exercises absolute dominance over the enemy reflected in the mirror.

: The effects of all powers and skills activated within the mirror prison are amplified by the number of reflections.

​

================================​​​​

​​

The 3rd power, Prison of Chaos Mirror.

It was the final power that I had finally completed.

And unlike powers created by mirror copying.

The true power created by breaking through my pure potential and its limitations.

The class expanded beyond wizard to a final class called archmage.

Moreover, the properties are confusing.

A morale attribute that has no weaknesses in any attribute, but has strengths in all attributes.

The only downside is that the chaos even takes over the user’s mind.

My mental power had already reached its maximum, and there were no side effects from using the power of chaos.

‘It’s more perfect to me than any other power.’

Choi Hana has the power to see through the truth.

That one thing accurately identified my potential.

The 3rd power created through her advice.

In that summoned mirror prison, I was able to freely explode the power I had created.

As explained, infinite amplification occurs according to the number of reflected powers and skills.

At the same time, enemies trapped in the mirror prison will receive an absolute debuff due to its dominance.

It’s just that it’s not surprising that those three fell down just by being captured in that mirror.

‘Well, there’s no need to act too proud.’

To be honest, the three from just a moment ago were the smallest among small portions.

Although they are called the True Affaires, they are not part of Yoon Geon-woo’s processing team or crime prevention department.

‘If I meet Yoon Geon-woo in person, it will be a different story.’

Moreover, chaos weapons are definitely dangerous items that can threaten even active heroes.

Unfortunately, the chaos attribute was not the slightest threat to me.

‘It’s a chaotic attribute.’

The first and second awakening mirrors are mirrors of light and darkness, respectively.

So the properties of the 3rd awakening were difficult for even me to predict, but unexpectedly, they blossomed into chaotic properties.

‘Hidden power. And the fate of the Unknown…’

I held the Orb of Letisane tightly in my pocket.

I believed it was just an extra.

It seems that Unknown’s fate extends beyond the main characters of the original.

This final exam is an opportunity to truly see the true nature of that destiny.

I hurriedly moved to join Ignition’s colleagues, shaking off the pursuit of the Apostles cadets.

***

“Ugh!!”

One of the Apostles’ cadets was retired with a scream.

Enhancement through chaotic weapons.

And even though I was a fully armed cadet through farming so far.

Ignition member Lim Jae-ho’s expression did not change even after he knocked down that cadet with his fist.

“You always look like an ignorant fist. He orders me to retire with one punch.”

It was pure admiration rather than sarcasm.

Jeong Si-woo, who had already joined Lim Jae-ho, muttered to Lim Jae-ho.

“It’s still not enough. Now it seems like there is barely a clue to the third awakening.”

Jeong Si-woo was once again surprised by those words.

‘Jaeho has already had his third awakening…’

Of course, Lim Jae-ho is a strong man who could have served as an executive at True Opposition if he had wanted to.

However, the third awakening is definitely not a common occurrence for cadets.

The rapid growth that occurred among the cadets this time was becoming a significant issue not only within the academy but also outside of it.

‘But I too… am getting some clues about the third awakening.’

And the growth of the two was quite surprising.

The True Apostles’ cadets were openly providing top-class training facilities and elixirs in Sado.

Neither Lim Jae-ho nor Jeong Si-woo are cadets with poor backgrounds.

Under Song Yu-hwan’s instructions, it could not be compared to the True Apothecles, which received support on par with the Apostle’s elite team.

Nevertheless, the two people grew up.

There is only one reason.

‘It’s all thanks to Unknown’s help!’

In fact, Siwoo Jeong is a huge fan of Unknown, although I always thought of Unknown as the main focus.

There was not even the slightest exaggeration in that thought.

“Move quickly. Because my current location is easy to get caught by the Apostles. You must immediately move to the safest location possible.”

“I understand. I have to hurry up and join Junwoo. I need to concentrate.”

Lim Jae-ho nodded at Jeong Si-woo’s words.

Not only himself, but Lim Jae-ho was also full of trust in Lee Jun-woo.

‘Academy competition. In that match… Unknown really saw the potential of both of them.’

Unknown was different from just another cadet.

The opportunity for an awakened person to become newly awakened is when they break through the wall through intense training and effort, or when they overcome the wall at once through enlightenment.

And Unknown, so that both people can achieve that realization.

It was a short but powerful lesson.

‘Thanks to Unknown, I was able to have the most efficient training even though it was a short period of time.’

It was really amazing.

In preparation for the competition, the three always trained together.

During each training session, Unknown and Junwoo Lee were able to accurately see the strengths and weaknesses of the two people.

– Jaeho, your one-shot attack is powerful, but there is a slight delay in the beginning that you are not aware of. So, if you only focus on practicing to minimize that period, you can become stronger.

– Siwoo As your senses are so sensitive, you rely too much on your senses for movement. In that case, it would be better to block out your senses and anticipate the movement of pure mana.

The advice that followed every time was accurate.

It is true that Lee Jun-woo always performed at an MVP level in Ignition.

Thanks to that advice, the two of them also grew and succeeded in creating the perfect party play with Lee Jun-woo.

‘It’s really like looking into the future. An ordinary person like me can’t even guess his inner thoughts and vision!’

Not only that.

Jeong Si-woo has already decided to sacrifice his life as Unknown’s right-hand man.

Not long ago, an incident at Busan Port cost him his life again.

‘I never thought I would kill that Min Pan-gyu… in one fell swoop.’

Jeong Si-woo has sensitive senses and is good at gathering information.

And his talent is a talent passed down to him from his father, Jeong Sang-hoon.

My father was the boss of a mid-sized organization.

Even his father couldn’t understand the circumstances of Min Pan-gyu’s betrayal.

‘More than anything, that traitor was Min Pan-gyu.’

Min Pan-gyu is a strong man.

In terms of the level of awakened people, they are already S level. Considering that he even took Chaotic, he could even be said to be an S+ level awakened person.

However, Min Pan-gyu died inside the Unknown Mirror without even being able to fight back.

‘Even the infamous Mei Ren wouldn’t have had an easy time dealing with Min Pan-gyu.’

May Ren is a being mentioned in the underworld along with the word “death.”

Even such a big name couldn’t take his eyes off Unknown’s performance.

Now that he has proven his monstrous strength.

What Jeong Si-woo predicted became reality.

Unknown took control of the underworld.

Although it is said that Song Yu-hwan killed that force.

If you include the branch powers located overseas, the scale is by no means small.

‘But my father said it too. It’s worth a try as long as there’s an unknown.’

Even Jeong Si-woo’s position in the organization rose immediately.

Even as a cadet, it was known that he was Unknown’s trusted right hand man.

My father also praised himself all day long for putting Unknown in line.

At that time, Jaeho Lim spoke.

“Siwoo, you are from an underworld family. Will you be dropping out of Theia after this semester?”

Jeong Si-woo nodded at those words.

“Yes. If the atmosphere is like this, it will be difficult to go to Theia anymore.”

“Then you will continue to be with Junwoo in the future.”

That was right.

In fact, he is also working as a subordinate of Lee Jun-woo, who is already active as Unknown.

However, Lim Jae-ho is not a member of the underworld, but a person of the sun.

Even though his father is a sub-race, he is treated like an apostle’s hunting dog.

Strictly speaking, Lim Jae-ho was also an apostolic cadet.

Jeong Si-woo asked him.

“What do you plan to do? If you join True Opposition, you will be able to continue your studies in hero classes in the future.”

But Lim Jae-ho shook his head at those words.

“No. I’m going to drop out too.”

Jeong Si-woo was momentarily surprised by those words. Jaeho Lim continued.

“And I plan to follow where Junwoo is heading.”

“Wait, that means…”

Lim Jae-ho and Lee Jun-woo had already noticed that they had no intention of working as a hero.

So there was only one meaning in those words.

Lim Jae-ho also declared that he would follow Lee Jun-woo into the underworld.

“I don’t like the Apostle of Valhalla either. And I can trust Junwoo more than anyone else.”

“Of course, you also know how to see people.”

Jeong Si-woo chuckled.

Lim Jae-ho is someone who will be of great help to Unknown.

Moreover, despite his family background, Lim Jae-ho chose Lee Jun-woo.

‘Werewolves… especially that sub-race, once they choose a leader, they are loyal until death.’

In the end, it seems that Lim Jae-ho’s thoughts were the same as Jeong Si-woo’s.

I want to work under Lee Jun-woo and help him.

The two people quickly moved to join Lee Jun-woo.

“There were fewer Aparcels cadets targeting you and me than expected.”

“It seems like a lot of cadets are sticking to Junwoo’s side.”

“That… I guess I should hurry.”

Lee Jun-woo is a strong man.

And there is a monster called Unknown.

However, the story is different when the members of Yoon Geon-woo’s crime prevention department guide the cadets.

A fight of several dozen to one.

In addition, they were even provided with chaos weapons.

Even if he doesn’t get retired, Lee Jun-woo’s stamina is bound to be wasted in the Cheonnaji net, which is thicker than a spider’s web.

‘I need to focus more!’

With all his senses sharpened, Jeong Si-woo led the way.

As a thief, Jeong Si-woo, who is on the verge of his third awakening, found the best path than any other Pathfinder and eventually found Lee Jun-woo.

“Junwoo, are you safe?”

And Lim Jae-ho, who discovered him, shouted.

‘huh?’

However, contrary to the two people’s expectations, Lee Jun-woo was very fine.

There didn’t seem to be a single speck of dust on the cadet uniform.

It looks the same as before entering this tower.

‘Right! Did Unknown hide as much as possible from the other cadets? ‘He must have avoided battle.’

Everywhere you go there are full of cadets who cooperate with the Apostles, so it’s almost impossible not to run into them at least once.

If it’s Unknown, that might be possible.

“Thank goodness. Because I didn’t run into other cadets. It’s a good way to save your stamina like that…”

Lim Jae-ho speaks with relief.

Jeong Si-woo also hurriedly shouted.

“As expected, it’s amazing! I guess you avoided them because there was no need to encounter them and lose stamina? It’s not because I’m scared of them, but I have an advanced strategy to maintain my stamina…”

For a moment, Lee Jun-woo tilted his head at the words of the two people.

“No. I’ve dealt with the other guys. About 50 people. Even if I tried not to run into them, there were so many that I couldn’t help it. So I was a little late in joining you guys.”

The two people gaped at Lee Jun-woo’s words.
