chapter 27
record(1)
High above the sky of Helios.
There is an altar where 5 elders gather in the far sky where the stars and night blend together.
The place, which was created exclusively for the Council of Elders, was filled in after a long time to discuss important issues with Helios.
A black marble floor shining like the night sky and a round table in the center.
And around the round table, the five elders faced each other.
-In the end, the Witchbeast broke through Helios’ barrier.
-What about the damage?
-Fortunately, it seems to have ended with the building slightly damaged…
The elder’s voice was full of concern.
Helios had not allowed the demons to invade for over 200 years, but that record was broken this time.
This wasn’t just a matter of the Witchbeast coming over.
It was a problem that could endanger the children of the stars who would grow up if done wrong.
-You can no longer rely solely on barriers.
– We need to unravel the stuck war situation and start marching.
– But, how?
Questions were asked, but no one answered.
The power of the Demon Beasts is truly powerful and destructive.
It is difficult for the human army to block their advance, and even the power of the noble Constellations is in a hurry to confront the beast commanders.
“Kang Yujin. With him, it’ll be fine.”
At that time, Laniakea, who had been silent until now, opened her mouth.
the most holy sky.
The elders bowed their heads at her words, the noblest among the elders.
-Does he really have the power to turn the tide of war?
“I believe.”
The elder’s question was dismissed with Raniakea’s definite answer.
“He killed the leader of the boss level… with his body, not the Constellation.”
-that’s···.
“And, there is no one among the Constellations who has done such a thing.”
Commander, the fallen Diablo of Fire.
He was an evil dragon that spewed the fire of death and captured countless dimensions.
The embodiment of despair, which was thought to be impossible to kill anyone.
It was Kang Yu-jin who killed Diablo.
In the outskirts of the outskirts, a human who was not born with magical powers, let alone magic and supernatural powers, killed a dragon that even the Constellations could not kill.
“Actually, the group he belongs to… 30% of the former Demonic Beasts aimed at Earth to kill the Pentagram.”
A whopping 30% of the Demonic Beast Army was mobilized to attack the outskirts dimension.
It was a scale that could not have lasted less than a month if it was in another dimension, but Pentagram and Kang Yu-jin overcame it.
Against the largest monster army in history in a single dimension, Kang Yu-jin and his team proudly defeated them.
“We must trust him.”
to win the war.
She believed in Kang Yoo-jin’s ability and the future of the children he would raise.
– Then, what is the will of the most holy sky?
“I heard that the academy will be midterm soon.”
Raniakea said.
“This test, let’s take it at the ‘record’.”
At those words, the elders raised their heads in unison.
record.
It refers to the dimensional valley where the power of the stars is condensed.
Training there can promote rapid growth, but if you don’t, you can be eaten by the magic of the record.
There is a place full of deep darkness and dense starlight, and due to its danger, access is currently prohibited with a strong seal.
-I don’t know if it’s a professor, but wouldn’t it be too dangerous for students?
“If it’s Yujin Kang, he’ll definitely find a way for both himself and the students to grow.”
She remembered what he had shown on Earth.
“That’s possible.”
The elders were silent for a moment.
She had never expressed her opinion so forcefully before.

Just listen, help the discussion, and give the advice you need.
Raniakea, who had been like that, expressed such a stubborn will.
The elders bowed their heads at the will of the Constellation Empress.
– You will need a lot of safety devices.
“Yes. I guess.”
she didn’t deny it.
Because Raniakea herself knew the dangers of the record best.
“But, I can’t put it off any longer.”
The current situation was so dire.
Enough to put down the nurturing policy that was not comfortable and take the risk of ignoring it.
“I’ll open the record.”
The elders nodded.
Midterms and opening of records.
The sad news was to be delivered to Helios’ professors soon.
*
A few days later, the weekend.
Post-processing of the monster attack was done quickly.
The reorganization of the half-destroyed Capella coffin was completed, and all the monster corpses that were lined up on the campus were also removed.
The midterm period was pushed back a bit, but that didn’t change my daily life.
Helios quickly returned to normal.
“Still, isn’t it a little hard to work today?”
It’s noon on a Saturday in the warm sun.
Skadi, who was stretched out on the desk, muttered with her head buried in the thesis paper.
Yujin Kang, who was filling out the paperwork, replied without even looking at her.
“I normally work on weekends as well.”
“No. You killed a high-ranking monster? Aren’t you resting?”
“There is no rest on the battlefield.”
“This is a school, not a battlefield!”
Skadi screamed loudly and glared at Yujin Kang with a sullen face.
Working on the weekend wasn’t enough, so he had gone back to his usual wrapped up look.
The hat, mask, and even the raised collar.
To think that I have to watch the whole weekend that makes me feel frustrated just by looking at it.
Skadi’s face was stained with death.
“Ah… I want to go out to play…”
“If you finish it quickly, you can finish it quickly.”
“···Wang Jae-soo. Fool. Sea squirt sea anemone···.”
He cries and curses at him, but Yujin Kang doesn’t budge.
Skadi bit her fluffy tail, regretting her past losing the bet.
Fortunately, the dissertation is almost complete, and I think I can finish it with hard work this week.
This is because the data that Yujin Kang organized was so neat.
‘I’m even more angry because the content is good.’
Circle’s theory of multiple mediation.
It is a theory that adding a rotating body structure to an existing artifact can dramatically increase mana efficiency.
Finally, the efficiency is improved by 55% compared to the existing artifact, and adopting this method eliminates the need to be bound by the structure of the artifact any longer.
In other words, the day will come when equipment that has been abandoned due to its complicated structure can be used as an artifact.
How will the rotten waters of academia react when they see this?
I’ll probably turn around in surprise.
In the midst of the boredom of working on weekends, her only pleasure was to think of academia that would shock her later.
“Have you decided on an academic journal to contribute to?”
“I will be contributing to ‘Veritas’.”
“Huh? Veritas?”
When Skadi heard the name of the journal, her eyes widened.
Veritas is a first-class academic journal competing for first or second place among academic journals.
A place where big and bold papers that are well-known in the academic world are lined up like regular posts.
It is also a place that does not accept papers unless it is a fairly reputed professor, and it is also a place that advocates a strong neutrality that is not swayed by money and power.
To contribute a paper to Veritas, unfortunately, Yujin Kang’s reputation was too short, if not enough.
“I’m not proud of it, but they don’t accept me unless I have a solid track record.”
“I know.”
“I can’t even help. I only see the first author’s name.”
“There is a way.”
method?
Is there such a thing?
How to publish a paper in Veritas under the name of Yujin Kang.
Skadi thought about it, but couldn’t think of anything like that.
The content of the thesis is not lacking, but the value of the name is too low.
Even though he is an apostle of ‘the most holy sky’, that does not represent his academic reputation.
Rather, it was even more so in her apostleship.
Because Raniakea’s name has rarely been involved in public activities.
“How do you want it to be?”
“The Altair family will vouch for my thesis.”
“···uh?”
Skadi’s expression stopped.
Altair? Could it be that Altair I know?
“…to vouch for your dissertation there?”
“Yes.”
“why?”
Skadi’s eyes narrowed.
“Have you caught any weaknesses?”
“Do I look like such a piece of trash?”
“No. To be honest, it doesn’t make sense. For what reason does the great family do such troublesome things?”
“I’m a little friendly.”
Skadi’s eyes widened.
Altair is one of the top three families in all dimensions.
Being close with such a family is not an ordinary connection.
Especially if it’s enough to guarantee the dissertation of a professor who doesn’t even have a reputation.
‘Well, isn’t it strange?’
Even if he looks like that, Yujin Kang is an apostle of ‘the most holy sky’.
It wouldn’t represent his achievements, but it was enough reason for the three generations to be interested.
‘Is this a constellation related to Altair by any chance?’
Seeing how he treats others, he probably isn’t the Constellation of the family.
However, when I saw that Altaïr approached so closely, leaving the other two families behind, I couldn’t help but think that there was something in common with that family.
I’ll have to check it out.
Another formula was added to Skadi’s head.
“Hmm…”
While Skadi was sinking into her own delusion, Yujin Kang’s gaze was nailed to the papers in her hand.
Documents received from the administrative office before coming here.
There, the changes of this midterm exam and the characteristics of the test site were explained.
“Recordra…”
A place Yujin Kang has never heard of.
His eyes carved three unfamiliar letters into his mind.
*
Midterm exam.
The meaning of the four letters in Helios is unique.
This school is a school that raises children who have the fate of stars as Constellations by name, but in reality, only a few people become Constellations.
It’s a natural story.
They were only born with the ‘fate of the stars’, the minimum condition to become a Constellation, and they did not come here because they had some special talent.
If the constellation could be printed so easily, mankind would have won the war right away.
Since most students cannot become Constellations, they must inevitably set their own path.
Whether they become officers or scholars, they must have their own vision, and the first step is school grades.
That’s why the exam, especially the midterm exam in the first semester of the first year, which has a great influence on the choice of major, had no choice but to have a great meaning for students.
“Huh.”
But Estelle is not anxious.
She believed in her talent, and she trusted in her lucid wisdom.
As in the academy he had been through so far, he was confident that the chief would be his own this time.
“The record is a little surprising.”
The deep valley of the other world where dimensional magic gathers.
It is a place where pitch-black darkness and strange starlight shine, and its danger has given birth to countless victims so far.
Many people tried to gain strength there, but were devoured by the magic of the dense abyss and turned into monsters.
Because of this, it had been thoroughly sealed under Helios’ management until now.
“You must be in a lot of hurry.”
The cause is probably the monster attack that took place this time.
Now that Helios, which was considered an impregnable fortress, has proven that it is no longer safe, the academy can no longer ignore the risk.
I put down the official letter I received from Tereon and stood in front of the mirror in the room.
Then, he took a revolver out of his pocket and blew the torch into it.
Blazing-
He nodded as he watched the silver gun barrel covered in flames from the torch.
Even if that place were forbidden, it would not lose its light.
“Kuhmm…”
Estelle remembered the time she fought with Kang Yu-jin that day.
The back of the hunter who took the lead in slaughtering the beasts.
Recalling those restrained yet agile movements, I tried to follow them the same way.
“···yap.”
Was it like this?
The professor also had a mechanism in his shooting posture.
yap yap.
Estelle, holding a revolver in one hand, was in the mood to imitate Kang Yoo-jin’s posture in front of a full-length mirror.
rattle-
“Miss. I brought you dinner-“
The movement of Hannah, who had brought the meal, stopped abruptly.
A young lady holding a revolver in front of a full-length mirror and posing in an eccentric manner.
As she witnessed the strange phenomenon with her own two eyes, Hannah’s expression hardened into a smile.
“·······.”
“·······.”
kiik-
As if Hannah hadn’t seen anything.
I closed the door the same way I came in and left.
After correcting her posture, Estelle went to the bed and sat down expressionlessly.
Her face, her knees slightly clenched, was dyed red with embarrassment before she knew it.
