Acquired the EX-class attribute ‘Transcendence Copy’

79 – Men and women in the dark

Xenia Sibelov’s teaching life is twisted enough to be described as ‘tight’. The academy professor position she won as a commoner.

Who would have known that obstacles would come so quickly on the path she started walking with her swollen heart in her heart.

Really, you don’t know the world.

The beginning, needless to say, was an exchange of departments. After being appointed as a new professor, the Department of Thieves appeared in front of her with a lot of shoulder pads.

To be honest, being territorial towards Professor Reina, who is hated by everyone, was a childish mistake. A common mistake made by confident newcomers.

I applied for an exchange battle at the Thieves Department, and was defeated. Thanks to that, a corner of the spearmanship department’s practice room was occupied by the thief department.

She has made minor adjustments to her academic department curriculum because of herself being only a first-year practicum professor. It was only natural for her to receive stinging glare from her senior professors. In fact, the fact that she lost her exchange battle to her rogue department, which only had three members, was a bigger blow to her than the class adjustment itself.

-She complimented me a lot at the personnel office, but I think she made a mistake.

-It is our department’s iron rule to pierce the enemy once the spear is pulled out, but how could such a result….

-Well, as expected, commoners can’t help it.

The scolding that brought tears to my eyes pricked my skin. He was the one who created the situation, so he couldn’t even make excuses.

She was Xenia, who was seriously considering quitting her teaching job, but she persisted in coming. How could she have let go of the rope she held on to?

Let’s endure and recover.

The opportunity will definitely come again.

After making that decision, Xenia took on all sorts of hard work, aiming to improve her image. It is her first priority to restore her own honor, which has fallen as it has fallen among her predecessors. It was also an extension of that job that she took on the duty of an on-duty job that all faculty members avoided.

By the way.

“This is… ?”

While on patrol at night, she witnessed Yohan and a male student having a tryst at the academy’s South Warehouse. After that, her body suddenly transferred to a strange space. Xenia couldn’t keep up with this situation at all.

Filling her eyes is a thick darkness.

In a sight that has no sense of reality, silence naturally flows. The light of the lamp he was holding lit up the front, but the light did not spread far. It is as if the darkness eats up the light itself. Clearly, it is an open space on all sides, so what is the reason for feeling claustrophobic?

“It’s a black magic circle.”

John said so. The light from the lamp illuminates his unrealistically handsome face.

John Baker.

If you look closely, he is the main culprit that ruined his career. As a student in the Department of Thieves, he won by defeating Geo Strandal in an exchange battle with the Department of Spearmanship. Maybe that’s why Xenia is here now.

Of course, there is no way to say anything about the fact that the opponent who entered the duel did his best and won.

That’s why John couldn’t help being uncomfortable with Xenia. Well, I can’t complain, but it’s an opponent with a strange feeling.

Perhaps because of that, his handsome face didn’t come through well, at least to Xenia.

“John Baker. What did you just say?”

“The black magic circle. This space.”

The black magic circle.

I think I’ve heard of it at first glance. Was it a very close black magic of the witchcraft type?

That was all that Xenia, who had little knowledge other than spearmanship, knew. She only knows the name.

But how does this guy know that this is a black magic circle?

Watching John answer the unknown space so naturally, Xenia felt a legitimate question.

“Hey. How do you know?”

At Xenia’s question, John smiled. Although she was a sharp questioner, Xenia was an easy-to-play toy for Johann, the legendary route master. All the options she can think of are in John’s mind.

The way to deal with new professor Xenia is simple. All she needs to do is poke her ego a little.

“What? Conversely, didn’t the professor know? That would be common sense, right?”

Xenia is squeamish about the word common sense.

As much as she became an academy professor because of her spearmanship, she prides herself on having knowledge that is unmatched by other senior professors in the category of spearmanship.

However, it is clear that she is ignorant of other things. However, when Yohan, a student and the main culprit (not the main culprit) of his career, said that, pride raised his hand. You can’t be ignored by students like this.

“Everyone, of course I knew. A space full of darkness like this, I can’t think of anything other than a black magic circle. I was just asking out of curiosity.”

A smile is drawn on John’s lips at the predicted reaction. It was fortunate that it was dark. You can hide your face.

“The problem is who made this black magic circle and how. Earlier, who was the student with you?”

“This is Colin Jauss senior.”

“Ah. Is it Zauss of the 3rd year? By the way, why did you meet him at this time? No way, Yohan, this magic circle… You and Zaus didn’t make it together, right?”

John waved her hand at Xenia, who had made a fairly reliable guess.

“I swear no. This shady darkness doesn’t suit me. This…. It’s senior Zauss’s dogma. It seems that you are a member of a cult.”

“A member of a cult… ?”

“For a force of this magnitude, it is likely to be Bonama or Angra Mainyu.”

“Angra Mainyu!?”

I’ve heard of it. An nemesis of the Church of the Sun who plots mischief all over the continent, aiming for the resurrection of evil spirits.

“It’s a secret evil force that no one knows exists! I saw it in the newspaper.”

“I think they need to change their repertoire a bit. Anyway, the professor is right.”

The Zaus family is not a great noble family, but it is a fairly prestigious family. Excluding the great aristocratic families, if you count the famous swordsmanship families, they will be counted on one hand.

To think that the son of such a family joined a cult that could be called a continental achievement.

It is a situation where Lao-ja, who is surprised, comes out of nowhere.

“John! Can you take responsibility for that remark?”

If you say something like that in front of the Zauss family, you will most likely be asked to duel.

Even in a place where there were no people, it wasn’t something to say recklessly. However, John’s expression was determined.

“You can tell by looking at this situation. The endless darkness. Unholy power is felt everywhere, and a world with closed exits opens before our eyes. Proof that this place is inside the black magic circle is overflowing.”

“Why is Colin Sauss….”

“I don’t know that either. Senior Zauss called me out of the blue. I guess I’ve always hated it. Or maybe he chose me as the first sacrifice to test the black magic circle….”

John deliberately hid the story of Geo.

He reveals that Geo was the one who summoned him, and if he names him as an executive of Angra Mainyu, he will be able to defeat Geo easily. However, John did not consider such an option. There are two reasons.

The first reason is that Geo Strandal is a very tasty experience toothache. Losing him to someone else was never the direction John wanted.

Anyway, G.O’s movements are predictable, like Son Goku in the palm of a Buddha. Right now, this situation, except for the variable ‘Xenia’, everything went the way he thought.

What is the reason to bring a super experience toothache that will automatically roll into your mouth if you let it flow?

In online games, people tend to pay money to buy efficient hunting grounds. There is no way that Yohan, a true gamer, would miss this chance to boost his game.

The second reason is the ‘Ring of Tradition’. As long as you have the Ring of Success, you can control all variables. If you make a mistake, you immediately transform into a ‘passing master’, and if you kill Geo Strandal, everything will be sorted out.

In that case, you may ask why I bother to leave Geo, who can handle it right now, because of the scenario.

The legend route has a large set of scenarios. Although there are subtle differences in the flow of each character chosen and each moment-to-moment choice, the very main stem is the same. In other words, the big stem that Geo Strandal becomes the boss of Chapter 2 is the same no matter which character you choose or which option you choose.

The series of events that G.O is doing are stories that eventually enter into the storyline. If he deliberately revises the story, he has no idea how the scenario of the future he knows will change.

Like teasing Geo, even if it’s a very minor change, if you get rid of him early and completely ignore the events he creates, you won’t know how the future will change.

If Geo hadn’t been the Chapter 2 boss who took a significant part in the storyline, Yohan wouldn’t have bothered to wait for him, but he was a character in that position, and that’s why Yohan deserved respect.

Anyway, John’s job now is to get rid of Geo’s puppet, Zaus. It’s not that difficult. The problem is that an unexpected person named Xenia Sibelov has joined.

“First of all, I have to go forward. I can walk.”

Xenia, holding a lamp, took the lead. It seemed that if she stayed still in this darkness, she would die from being eaten by the darkness. Well, it’s a situation where you have to struggle.

“John. Stay right behind me. I don’t know what will come out. I am a student in another department…. In this case, rely on the professor.”

Xenia pats her chest and speaks confidently.

Her appearance was pretty cool, but unfortunately, this space didn’t go well with Xenia.

“Are you okay?”

“What, what!? Are you looking at the professor as water!? I’m not at a level where I can be ignored by students!”

“I’m not ignoring you, but….”

“Then, stick right behind me! I’ll make sure you don’t injure a single hair!”

Looking at Xenia, who casually said something that would make a woman’s heart race if she heard it, Yohan laughed lightly.

‘Well, you’ll know when you experience it yourself.’

Because experiencing it once is faster than hearing it a hundred times.

“Then, please.”

So Johan gave up her lead to Xenia. The two went forward through the darkness like that.

-Gooooo!

The walk didn’t last long. It was because of the bizarre-shaped monster that appeared in front of them.

“Ugh! That….”

“You are a monster of negation. It is said to be a dead man who roams the black magic circle. A monster created by combining the spirits of the victims who were sacrificed during the formation of the magic circle.”

“I, I know.”

-Gooooo!

-Gooooo!

Injustice monsters that make the same sounds as if they were recorded with magic tools appear one after another. Also from all sides.

The darkness all around seemed to vomit a monster. The number of monsters besieging Johann and Xenia numbered in the tens or even hundreds.

Xenia shook her shoulders.

There is no tension in her expression.

After hanging her lamp behind the long spear, Xenia vigorously stretches out her spear.

“Now, student. Take a good look at the professor level. You won’t be able to see it easily anywhere!”

Xenia said that with her confident expression.
