The Reincarnated Person Became a Professor at the Academy

Chapter 123 – You Should Get What You’re Owed (2)

Here’s what my status window looked like now:

▶
Name: Han Seojin.
Divine Name: Eternal.
Strength: 70.
Agility: 70.
Stamina: 70.
Magic: 85.
Spirit: 80.
Dexterity: 80.
◈
Unique Traits: Eternity.
Traits: Vessel of the Archgod (Ex-), Soul Origin Qi (S), Severance (S), Heavenly Martial Body (s), Heart of a Young Dragon (A), Wielding Sword Technique (A)
There’s not much there.

I looked at the status window with a slightly disinterested expression.

I would love to cram in more traits, but this thing seems to limit the number of traits I could have, tailoring it to my capacity.

To be honest, even having just Eternity would be enough to make me shout that having those other traits was nonsense.

‘It’s not enough.’

I was a very greedy person.

Very, very greedy.

Even though I could have reached transcendence in the Demonic Cult, I went out into the world to learn martial arts.

It was because I wanted to achieve complete mastery in martial arts.

The Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique was created based on the Heavenly Demon’s Godly Technique.

And the Great Sky Dancing Divine Mantra was created by researching my Heavenly Martial Body.

Those two martial arts were created that way.

So, I wanted to create something unique here as well.

Preferably related to flames.

The divine name of eternity that I had acquired—

I instinctively felt it.

That this was something that followed me even from my previous life.

‘This is engraved in the soul itself.’

Even if I wanted to give up, it’s not something I could easily abandon.

Other things, I might be able to.

But this.

‘It is related to my first life.’

The faith of billions.

This itself held immense power.

The achievements I made in my first life.

They were etched into my soul.

‘I used to wonder why my first life was stored.’

What my Manifestation possessed was storage and restoration.

It was used to manifest the power of my past lives.

As soon as I obtained it, the last moment of my first life was saved, and the Han Seojin of the second life, who was in that realm at the time, was also saved.

‘Well, I think it’s better than nothing.’

Looking back, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor.

Though it still existed.

‘My first life was truly a launching pad for eternity.’

Gathering and strengthening all the Han Seojins existing in different timelines.

I think that itself was a good method.

However, the problem was that it took up too much capacity.

‘The God of Magic.’

If.

If I hadn’t been killed by the Insect Dragon King, it might have been a possible choice.

I vaguely thought it was amazing, but seeing it with my own eyes was beyond imagination.

The Punishment that activated at the end.

That was truly an unbelievable power.

Creating energy equivalent to a star with magic…

‘Star energy, huh.’

Divine Thunderbolt.

The thunder that split stars.

Though it was named that way, it didn’t actually have the power to split planets.

It was merely a metaphor.

But the God of Magic, that being truly created magic capable of splitting planets.

‘So that’s why they call him the God of Magic.’

It was indeed a reasonable statement.

I looked ahead.

The blue status window that promised rewards.

It was conveying information to me.

[Unbelievable achievement. You have defeated the Insect Demon King alone.]
[■■■■’s intervention confirmed, and you have defeated an apostle who received their revelation.]
[You will receive 1 Trait Enhancement Ticket, 1 Trait Selection Ticket, and 1 Weapon Selection Ticket.]
‘…Hmm?’

This felt a bit stingy.

Considering the achievements I had made.

‘However, it feels like I can definitely secure what I want.’

Let’s take a look.

Thinking that, I chose the reward.

‘A Trait Enhancement Ticket, huh.’

[Trait Enhancement Ticket.]
Can enhance a trait.
: Upgrades it by one level up to S-grade.
The description was simple.

But, if it’s just one level.

‘Does that mean I have to make it at least A-grade?’

That’s easy.

I just needed to understand the structure and tailor it to my taste.

Then, I could enhance it to S-grade afterward.

‘I’ll keep the enhancement ticket for now.’

I could always enhance the Heavenly Martial Body and the Young Dragon’s Heart.

If I had to choose, it would be the Wielding Sword Technique.

‘Is there really a reason to enhance this?’

My main skills were in fist and kick techniques.

I could use swords and spears at a master level, but fists and kicks were on another level.

‘Well, here, choosing a sword or spear would be a decent option.’

Still, that Wielding Sword Technique, unless modified, was a pretty useless trait.

‘I’d rather just delete it.’

I pressed the trait selection option.

[Trait Selection Option.]
You can select a trait.
: You can choose an S-rank trait.
[The system reviews the user’s life.]
[It selects what suits the user best.]
[Magic], [Martial Arts], [Faith], [Traits].
‘Hmm.’

I stared at the blue window.

Normally, I would choose faith.

‘But a trait came out instead.’

I did need to raise my faith, but there’s something more urgent right now.

The choice had already been made.

Flame.

However, I wouldn’t choose flame unconditionally.

‘Time and space, creation.’

Those three attributes.

Han Seojin, the god of magic in another timeline, said it.

Not to be bound by it.

Then I must go my own way.

Glacial Heavenly Moon.

Brilliant Blazing Fire.

And Divine Thunderbolt.

First, I would attain the magical abilities of my prime. To do that, I must use the Divine Thunderbolt.

‘I need to balance the Glacial Heavenly Moon and Brilliant Blazing Fire.’

But what kind of trait should the flame have?

That was the issue.

‘Brilliant Blazing Fire.’

It was inspired by the World Tree.

Its power was harmony and healing.

I combined those two powers.

If I wanted to add something more, I’d need something else.

‘I can’t add anything related to the attack.’

The power of the Glacial Heavenly Moon was destruction and cold. And eternity.

The divine name Eternal added mercilessness to it.

As a result, the perfect balance was broken, making it impossible to use the Divine Thunderbolt.

‘Add the flame.’

In that case, something related to harmony and healing had to be added.

What should I do to achieve that?

‘But do I combine magic and Unique Traits?’

I pondered for a moment.

But I chose the Unique Traits.

‘Even though I haven’t fully explored magic yet.’

This world was a world of Unique Traits.

And these traits were akin to superpowers.

They naturally did not mix, and I had tasted the power of eternity.

‘It twists what is originally impossible and creates a law.’

That was precisely what Unique Traits were.

So I was quite fascinated by it.

Achieving impossible harmony is possible.

‘Of course, the efficiency isn’t that high.’

The traits made to seem plausible grow stronger, but if they didn’t seem too plausible, the traits grew weaker.

This was the power of traits I realized through my research.

I chose the traits.

Celestial Flame (S), Infernal Blaze (S), Flame of Revelation (S), Celestial Fire (S).
Four traits appeared.

But.

‘Flame of Revelation?’

I looked at it with a puzzled eye.

Revelation.

That’s something the Insect Dragon King received after betraying the Demon God, something bestowed upon him.

‘Can I obtain the Flame of Revelation?’

Seeing the system recommending it, it didn’t seem bad.

‘No, this thing isn’t omnipotent.’

It was just competent.

If it were truly outstanding when I combined divine power, magical power, martial arts, space, and time traits to create the ultimate, there wouldn’t be any errors when I used it.

So, I excluded the Flame of Revelation.

I calmly examined the traits.

To summarize:

The Celestial Flame had the power to purify evil.

The Infernal Blaze had outstanding offensive power.

The Celestial Fire was balanced among them.

‘And the Flame of Revelation…’

It captured all three traits.

It had excellent balance, was great for offense, and also had purifying power.

‘It’s really tempting me to choose it.’

But this would just cause me problems.

Big problems.

So the answer to what to choose was already clear.

[You have chosen the Celestial Flame (S).]
[Your vessel is full.]
[Forcing the vessel to expand.]
Ah, so that’s how it was.

Only then did I understand.

Simply put, my talent was something even eternity couldn’t handle.

‘Well, this makes it easier for me.’

Forcing the trait to be unlocked was one way.

But it inevitably caused strain.

I didn’t know how it is now, but if the system even gave a warning…

‘And considering the possibility that Unique Traits might not manifest…’

This wasn’t bad either.

Whoosh!

I felt something spreading widely inside my body.

‘Is this the sensation of the vessel expanding?’

Not bad.

I moved on to the weapon selection.

[Searching for suitable items for the user.]
[Mystical Armor], [Spear of the Heavenly Dragon Scale], [Wind God’s Spear]…
I paused.

‘Wind God?’

As if possessed, I stared at the Wind God’s Spear.

Because this was…

‘Is it related to Wind God’s Steps?’

Wind God’s Steps.

Almost all martial arts and magic were modified to some extent.

The Glacial Heavenly Moon taught by Duke of the Moon was adapted to suit me, and my Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique originated from the Heavenly Demon’s Godly Technique.

However, if there was one martial art I hadn’t modified…

‘It’s Wind God’s Steps.’

Wind God’s Steps.

This martial art was absolutely extraordinary.

Even without my modifications, it remained quite useful.

‘If this is related to the Wind God…’

Choosing it once might not be a bad idea.

Anyway, I didn’t use weapons often.

In that case, the choice was clear.

[Spear of the Wind God (S+)]
Imbued with the power of the Wind God.
: Bestows the user with the Wind God’s Blessing (S).
: Loved by the spirits of the wind.
: Generates the trait, 〈Wind God〉.
Whhoooosh!

A green and white spear.

A long shaft with a straight blade.

‘This is pretty good.’

It wouldn’t be strange to compare it to any divine artifact.

No, in terms of hardness, it might even surpass them.

At this level, it might withstand even my use.

‘I did get quite a decent item.’

I gazed blankly.

[A Unique Trait, Wind God (S), has been created.]
This was…

The more I read about this power, the more my eyes began to sparkle.

‘This is amazing!’

It was truly amazing.

“Give me money.”

“…Are you mistaking me for some kind of cash machine, Professor?”

“Give me money.”

“No, you can’t just suddenly ask for money like that…”

Kwon Sora was stammering.

But this time, I had to get the money.

The reason wasn’t anything special.

‘Because money is good to have.’

And I had a legitimate excuse to extort it.

I was starting to need some extra funds.

‘I need to dismantle the Celestial Flame and insert it into the Brilliant Blazing Fire.’

However, even I couldn’t just insert it right away.

A bit of a process was required, and that process could be solved by pouring money into it.

And the newly acquired Wind God.

To use it properly, money was needed.

“This time, I made a huge contribution, didn’t I?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“So, give me some money.”

“…How much do you need?”

“As much as possible?”

“…I can give you money, but are you sure you don’t see me as just a wallet?”

“No, I think of it as a business relationship.”

If I really thought of her as a wallet, I wouldn’t stop here.

“But that power, you can’t use it permanently, right?”

“Yeah. Once you use it, you can’t use it again.”

At least in this life.

Kwon Sora nodded as if she understood my words.

“Well, it does have that much power.”

“But what about the others?”

“Who?… Oh, those women who don’t act their age?”

Atsuko and Nam Daram.

The two of them remained at the academy.

Nam Daram, for some reason, seemed fixated on me and continued to stay.

‘Why is Atsuko still here?’

Being entangled with a transcendent was quite troublesome.

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of those old maids who don’t act their age.”

“…”

Reflexively.

I looked at Kwon Sora blankly.

‘There is one more person who doesn’t act their age.’

I thought that was possible.

Martial arts or magic, Unique Traits or spirit art.

Chivalry and divinity.

All those disciplines began by abandoning oneself.

They fill you with power, with mana. And then you ascended to the next level.

That was superior to any pleasure.

Once addicted to it, there was no turning back.

‘And that’s why.’

The marriageable age of humans commonly called ‘superhumans’ was delayed.

Suddenly, as I thought that far, the Duke of Extermination and the Heavenly Demon came to mind.

Those two were also quite old.

Upon reflection, my sister was quite old during my first life.

She didn’t really act her age, though.

‘Who was it again?’

The girl who followed me around, admiring me.

She was jealous of that girl.

Although she wasn’t confident in the virtual reality game she played, she was so good that she was even called Han Seojin.

I stopped reminiscing and looked at Kwon Sora.

“What, what is it? Why are you suddenly looking at me so intently? C-could it be that our Seojin has fallen for me…?”

“I’m really sorry. My preference is for women between 165 and 170 cm, with a C-cup chest and a slender build. They must be at least twenty years old and in the Supreme Realm or higher. Otherwise, they don’t catch my eye…”

“…Get out! Get out right now!! You can collect your money from Abel!!”

At least she was giving me the money.

Thank goodness.
