Join the discord! Here

I reached the room where Professor Song Rahee was.

Knock, knock.

"Come in."

Upon knocking, a gentle voice answered.

As I opened the door, Song Rahee with slightly darker eye makeup was in sight.

She seemed quite different than usual in a purple robe, her purple eyes and hair matching well with her clothes.

"Why am I here?"

"Because of the recent event."

Song Rahee invited me to sit, after saying this.

"Standing could be tiring, sit there. Ah, would you like a drink?"

"Water will do for me."

"Is that so?"

With that, Song Rahee filled a cup with water from the fridge and gave it to me using her powers.

She filled her own cup with mint chocolate milk and took a seat.

It was a strange feeling.

Song Rahee, who usually kept a subtle distance using formal language, had started to speak casually.

She's someone sensitive to these things.

"Do you wonder why you've been called? I had something to tell you, so I asked for you."

"What is it?"

"About the recent event. The principal wants to see you."

"The principal?"

"Yes. You'll be given a generous gift. If there's anything you want, think about it. Also, if you need help from other professors, just ask."

Song Rahee took a sip of her mint chocolate milk and said,

"Because you removed the barrier during the incident, we were able to reach others quickly. As a result, no students were lost. So, the other professors and instructors feel grateful to you, just ask if you need anything. Of course, if you need my help, you can ask me anytime."

After saying this, Song Rahee handed me a business card.

"By simply removing the barrier, you did something extraordinary. Additionally, you captured a prisoner, so the principal will give you a gift beyond your wildest dreams. Choose something that benefits you the most."

"Yes, thank you."

"Now go see the principal."

Song Rahee waved her hand as if to send me off.

A faint smile appeared on her face.

Lee Seoha stepped out the door with a hesitant look.

Next to him was a woman whose eyes were hidden behind silk.

The third star.

She, whose power was specialized in healing, was guiding Seo Yebin.

[Disgusting.]

The Black Heavenly Demon Sword seldom made such a distasteful comment.

[That's a doll whose self has been destroyed. Habits, hobbies, and behaviors from her lifetime... everything remains but the self, like a puppet carved out. That monstrous person has a very disturbing hobby.]

Lee Seoha walked ahead, laughing bitterly.

“We’re here.”

Her calm voice brought him back from his daydreaming.

Creak.

A door, twice the height of an average person, swung open by itself. Seo Yebin was inside.

“Sit.”

Following Seo Ye-bin’s instruction, Lee Seoha sat down.

“I've been informed about everything you’ve done.”

“I see.”

“You’ve accomplished far more than I anticipated.”

Seo Yebin was not one to smile often, yet she was now, acknowledging Lee Seoha's work.

“What do you want in return?”

“I require some items for alchemy.”

“I see.”

“Yes, I would be grateful if you could supply me with some alchemy materials.”

Lee Seoha considered his response.

His answer was intentionally vague, so that Seo Yebin might offer him the best from her collection.

“I see.”

Seo Yebin paused for a moment, closing her eyes.

“That seems appropriate.”

Reaching into thin air, Seo Yebin retrieved an object.

“How about the essence of Dwoeokshini?”

"……I would be extremely thankful."

Lee Seo-ha’s eyes flickered with surprise.

Dwoeokshini.

A beast that had ascended from mere demon status to hold a divine position amongst the goblins.

Its power was just one notch below Seo Ye-bin’s.

Especially an essence of such high grade, just consuming it could give a massive power boost.

'This is beyond what I imagined.'

It was beyond his wildest dreams.

Lee Seoha swallowed hard.

Seo Yebin drew forth a black orb that swallowed all light around it.

Lee Seoha examined it through a magical reading.

──────────────

【Essence of Dwoeokshini (S)】

The essence of a creature that achieved divinity and became the leader of goblins.

A profound darkness is concentrated within the essence.

"……."

He was speechless.

The details were so abundant that it was difficult to read them all.

An unbelievable potion that could trigger country-level disputes even if only one of its effects was revealed.

Its benefits were so enticing that one would want to consume it on the spot.

"It seems you like it."

"Yes, it's exactly what I needed."

"What will you need next?"

"……."

Lee Seoha was rarely taken aback.

He heard her words, but they didn't seem to register.

Looking at Seo Yebin, he saw only radiance.

A brilliant halo of golden light, like her glowing hair.

"……I need a deer’s antlers and a monster’s horn."

"I have a Horn of Verdure at hand."

Once again, Seo Yebin reached into the void and brought forth an object.

A deer horn glowing with electricity was now visible.

It was clear at first glance that this was no ordinary item.

Lee Seoha inhaled deeply and activated his ability, Browse.

Perception.

──────────────

【Horn of Verdure (A+)】

The horn of Verdure, a creature on the brink of divinity.

Even the horn itself radiates immense power.

: When used as a crafting component, it substantially boosts lightning properties.

: Upon consumption, significantly enhances control over lightning.

… I asked for deer and monster horns, but this exceeds all expectations.

Lee Seoha turned his gaze towards Seo Yebin.

Seo Yebin was smiling at Lee Seoha, a playful expression on her face.

"What do you want next?"

"……."

This was starting to get frightening.

There's a saying: nothing comes for free.

Isn't there another saying warning you to be careful of those who offer you expensive treats and to eat without worry when offered cheaper ones?

"I'd appreciate if you could choose some weapons for Seo Gayeon as well."

"Don't worry about that. I'll take care of it. The girl deserves it."

Seo Yebin's violet eyes curved into crescents.

"So, is there anything else you need?"

"……."

Lee Seoha paused to think.

None of the items that Seo Yebin was offering were available in the Korea Hero Academy.

Every single one could instigate a conflict if it became known outside.

All these items were from her personal collection, given to him.

There had to be a reason for that.

Lee Seoha spoke up.

"Hmm?"

Seo Yebin cocked her head to one side, then nodded slightly.

"Yes. I'll provide you with that too. What else do you need?"

"I believe that's more than plenty."

Lee Seoha contemplated.

Truthfully, he felt it was too much.

With these resources, one could easily create a respectable magic tool.

Their value was absurdly high, enough to purchase a small nation and still have change remaining.

"I see."

"Yes."

"Then, you can leave."

At Seo Yebin's words, Lee Seoha rose from his seat.

"I look forward to our next encounter."

With a bright smile, Seo Yebin bid farewell to Lee Seoha.

"How does it look?"

A moment later, Seo Yebin spoke up.

-It's odd.

Behind Seo Yebin, space began to ripple.

A black figure emerged from the disturbance.

-What's that? Even with my 'eye', I can't see it clearly.

"It's invisible even to your eyes."

Seo Yebin's eyes followed the spot where Lee Seoha had disappeared.

I agree.

It can't be 'measured' by my eyes. That's why I summoned another entity.

An entity on par with herself.

A wizard, titled for possessing the finest eyes in the world, capable of discerning the truths of everything in the universe.

The world bestowed upon him the title of Celestial Eye.

-Interesting.

"So it's not completely invisible?"

-There's a countering force surrounding him. It's fascinating. It negates the most basic magic that forms the world. Yet, it's not extraterrestrial. I didn't realize such a countering force could exist while still following the world's rules.

"I understand."

-That's something a 'Star' could never produce. All we can do is observe as his abilities awaken.

"What do you estimate the chances are of him coming here?"

-Oh.

"Oh, is it that likely?"

Seo Yebin appeared let down.

Feeling a hint of refusal towards Lee Seoha's gift, she scolded herself for not being more considerate.

"What's that about?"

The Sorcerer of Heavenly Vision dismissed Seo Yebin's remark.

We decided that five years would be sufficient if we provide him full support.

“……What?”

The Sorcerer of Heavenly Vision followed the direction of the stare.

That boy is rather captivating. There are many things even his own eyes can't see.

A fascinating character. I was nearby because of our Seo-hyun…...

Kim Seohyun.

The Sorcerer of Heavenly Vision, one of the founders of his existence, had returned to this school after a long time to observe Kim Seohyun.

He assisted the Emperor in disarming the antagonist, and observed the boy he had seen earlier.

Wondering if he could be a worthy adversary for Kim Seohyun.

The result was quite captivating.

The Sorcerer of Heavenly Vision gazed into the school.

He saw a girl who was a superior spirit, hovering between dreams and reality.

He saw a girl with a splendid golden crown, carrying a tremendous heat wave.

He saw a girl who personified the world's will through the power of starlight.

He also saw a girl who possessed the strength of a giant.

Even the being thought to have vanished, the everlasting one ──.

-Emperor. Is the school still hiring teachers?

"……You can't be serious."

The Sorcerer of Heavenly Vision was grinning like an innocent child.

Seo Yebin stared at him, puzzled.
