The Reincarnated Person Became a Professor at the Academy

Chapter 74 – Who Are You? (4)

“What should we do?”

It was Yoo Eunchae’s voice.

Suddenly, with a tremendous explosion, the darkness subsided.

Since they were in the middle of joint training, all the students were gathered in one place.

Thus, they were able to gather quickly.

“Shall we wait for rescue?”

The most rational answer.

When Yoo Seolrang spoke, everyone looked at her with surprised expressions.

“No, when did you get here?”

“…I’ve been here for a while.”

“Don’t have such girly thoughts. These are the people who boldly invaded this place. They must have cut off communication with the teachers and the outside world or done something similar.”

An American cadet flaunted his muscles as he spoke.

“…I don’t agree with the ‘girly thoughts’ part, but anyway, we will have to stick together for a while.”

Shin Yura raised her head proudly as she spoke.

“But, if there’s a problem.”

Shin Yura looked around the dark space.

Everything was dark. Yet, high walls soared.

It felt like the space itself had been altered.

‘Such advanced magic…’

Whether it was a trait or not, she didn’t know.

But such magic needed immense preparation in order to be cast.
‘Then, it’s my chance to shine.’

Lately, she felt like she was being overshadowed.

At first, Professor Han Seojin had paid attention to her.

Now, that attention seemed to be fading.

It wasn’t that he stopped giving her attention.

Although her peers continued to care for her, she didn’t have any special lessons with Han Seojin.

He said it was because the others lacked the basics.

She didn’t know his true intentions.

She wanted to learn the magic formula he used, the Glacial Heavenly Moon.

But he wouldn’t teach it to her.

「Because it’s a power that destroys its user.」

That’s what he said.

So, here…

“I will.”

“Everyone, pay attention for a moment.”

Just as Shin Yura was about to step forward, Yoo Eunchae drew everyone’s attention.

“Hey… ugh!”

“What’s with the cute act? Do you know anything about this place?”

“But I’m a mage.”

“This place has spatial distortion. Didn’t the Master tell you not to act on half-baked knowledge?”

“…”

Yoo Eunchae closed her mouth, pondering.

She knew what to do.

The one who knew this place best wasn’t the regressor Seon Woohyeon.

It was the possessor Yoo Eunchae.

Even her Master, who acted like he knew everything, had to follow her lead.

Yoo Eunchae had that kind of pride.

‘No, if it’s him, he’ll manage somehow.’

He might fumble initially, but he’d soon navigate the place as if it were his room.

Anyway, this labyrinth was simple.

The labyrinth’s rules were forcibly brought in as they were.

The official name of this place is.

‘Labyrinth of Illusions.’

It’s an endlessly dangerous place.

But with her, it’s a place where they could buy time.

‘Originally, I should’ve mastered Space Blade.’

Unfortunately, her vessel was already full.

Additionally, this wasn’t supposed to be the time for them to invade.

Because they were supposed to appear two weeks later during the group battle.

‘It changed again.’

The future kept changing.

Was it because of the appearance of the regressor Seon Woohyeon, who wasn’t here originally?

Or was it because of her existence, which shouldn’t exist?

And the existence of Han Seojin, the Purple Tower Master, who replaced the Eternal Demon King, Han Seojin.

No, maybe it’s all three.

‘The memories of the future I have.’

Were becoming increasingly useless.

Of course, they still held immense value.

But it was also true that they’re becoming less useful.

Yoo Eunchae shook her head.

‘That’s not what’s important right now.’

What was important now was escaping from here.

“Everyone, listen to me.”

“What is it?”

Abel, who could be called her closest ally, responded quickly.

“Why do you react so quickly?”

“You’re someone who causes all sorts of incidents, but your ability to handle them is recognized. And… this is the situation where your abilities shine the most.”

Abel backhandedly complimented her, but Yoo Eunchae had a convenient ear that only heard the good things.

‘My abilities are indeed excellent.’

She half-listened and then spoke.

“First of all, I think I know about this labyrinth.”

Yoo Eunchae spoke conveniently.

Something she did whenever incidents occurred.

“I read about this in some literature.”

“You always say it’s from that book of universal truths you carry around, right?”

“Yeah.”

There was a book containing the truths of the universe.

A book said to be created for some reason by the Master of All Things, an EX-rank trait.

It was said to contain everything.

So what she said wasn’t entirely wrong.

“This place is the Labyrinth of Illusions. It’s a place where the illusion attribute is maximized.”

“The Labyrinth of Illusions…?”

“Yeah. Illusions. It’s an illusion-type labyrinth, but the illusions here have substance.”

“That’s terrifying.”

“But for us, it’s okay. As long as we stick together, it’s only about a B-grade difficulty.”

“B-grade.”

Mission type, B-grade.

Usually undertaken by mid-level heroes.

It wasn’t something typical students would consider.

But the students here weren’t ordinary.

The third years were known as the Golden Generation.

And the current first years have surpassed them.

They were on par with those from the Holy Empire Academy.

At their level, they could handle B-grade missions.

“So if we just follow a few precautions I’ll give, we can clear this place easily.”

“Sounds simple enough.”

“Yeah, but a few things are a bit difficult.”

First, no one should act alone.

This place is the Labyrinth of Illusions.

“First, you’re likely to get trapped in an illusion if you’re alone. Second, there are no treasure chests here, so don’t touch anything. Third, if you get lost, stay where you are. Just send the fireworks I gave you earlier upwards.”

After teaching ten rules, Yoo Eunchae gathered the students and handed out fireworks.

She explained various precautions, but their worries didn’t disappear.

‘If there’s a problem…’

This labyrinth isn’t just a B-grade in difficulty.

As the number of people increases, the labyrinth expands, and it can become an A-grade difficulty.

Normally, this wouldn’t be a big issue since there’d by many people outside.

The most reliable Professor, Han Seojin, was also here.

But this time, it was a problem.

A fox aiming to regain its power had set a cunning trap.

Heroes will come.

They will definitely come.

But they must not come.

Because this place will become the fox’s den.

At one time, it destroyed the Shang Dynasty, traveled to Japan, and tormented millions of humans, making it the worst monster ever.

‘It’s a Transcendent.’

Though incomplete, it achieved a domain with the Yata Mirror.

With that, the fox achieved an incomplete but complete rank.

It will summon all the heroes there, and then it will kill them.

Though incomplete, it was still a Transcendent.

Against beings of a lower realm, Transcendents were invincible.

Even if High Realm beings try to stop it, more than ten are needed.

Beings that transcended the laws of the world and meddled with the laws of the universe.

Beings that imposed their laws on others and disregarded providence.

They were known as Transcendents for those reasons.

And those reasons were why they ascended.

Breaking the limits of humans.

Fighting against arrogant beings called Demon Kings, Archangels, and Celestial Gods.

‘It would be best to call a Transcendent.’

But that was impossible.

Because experiencing transcendence forced certain trials.

That was why there were hardly any Transcendents visible in this world.

The principal who used space was special.

She was tied up somewhere.

The reason why the Transcendent beings from the empire and the martial world weren’t seen.

The reason they couldn’t exert their power in this world.

They couldn’t easily escape from that place.

‘Without a Transcendent, it’s really daunting to defeat it.’

But, Eunchae had one means.

The deadliest dagger.

One that could even bring down a Transcendent… no, reduce one to the High Realm because it hasn’t reached transcendence.

She grasped it.

As they moved through the labyrinth, they saw enemies blocking their way.

Black orcs.

About five of them.

“What should we do?”

“Let’s try going in first.”

“Going in?”

“A man doesn’t avoid a fight that comes his way.”

James glared at the opponent.

Their rugged, black-skinned bodies.

Known as black orcs, a race with powerful strength.

“You have an excellent body. But it doesn’t compare to my body, honed by our new professor.”

As he said, James’s body was bulging.

The black orc looked at James’s body with competitive eyes.

“What are they doing?”

“He’s kind-hearted.”

“It’s not kindness, it’s stupidity.”

The two were exchanging heated glances.

They didn’t understand the hot fight between men.

So.

Swiish!

An arrow flew from somewhere. James tilted his head to dodge it.

His face was filled with anger.

“You coward! Interfering in a fight between men!”

James raised a huge hammer.

Hwaak!

Light burst everywhere.

Divine power.

He was using it.

Outlaw.

A method using external objects called divine artifacts.

Unlike martial artists or mages, who awaken power from within, he summons power from outside.

There’s no superiority between the two.

Outlaws always have a high peak but a low base.

Martial arts or magic always have a high base but a low peak.

Both have their pros and cons.

James raised the hammer high.

Kurrung!

Lightning swirled. The divine power containing the strength of Thor brightened everything.

“Take this!”

Kwaaang!!

The hammer, swirling with lightning. The black orc blocked it with a huge sword.

“Well done.”

A chilling voice.

Yoo Seolrang, who had sneaked behind the black orc, stabbed its neck with a dagger.

“What are you doing!!”

“Why are you angry?”

“It was a fight between men… urgh!”

Yoo Eunchae hit the back of James’s head and gave a thumbs-up.

“Nice, Yoo Seolrang! Let’s move while conserving our strength as much as possible!”

“Okay!”

The students started moving.

We moved further inside.

“This place…”

“Amazing. The space itself is under pressure. The spatial distortion on this labyrinth…”

I observed with my Heavenly Eyes.

‘Quite troublesome.’

The keywords embedded in the labyrinth were interesting.

[Dream illusion, hallucination, paradox, scale, indestructible.]
Not targeting individuals but intending to manipulate them with their own will.

Quite malicious.

At the same time, it felt amateurish.

“What should we do?”

I looked at Yoo Eunchae with a bold tone.

‘I checked with Heavenly Eyes.’

There’s not much reaction from Yoo Eunchae.

In other words, this isn’t the usual Yoo Eunchae.

‘Well, it doesn’t matter.’

Soul Origin Qi.

A gray aura enveloped my hand.

“Is there an enemy?”

“Yes.”

Different from Yoo Eunchae’s reaction.

She witnessed the destructive power of the Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique.

The power that destroys everything it touches.

Yet, she showed no sign of fear despite being so close.

Rather, she was looking at my gray aura with curious eyes.

And.

One more difference.

The white-haired girl I met earlier.

I sensed its presence.

‘Really thankful.’

Of all things, it had to be Yoo Eunchae’s face.

“Hey.”

“Yes?”

“I have something to show you.”

“Show me?”

Yoo Eunchae tilted her head.

I punched her head directly.

Thud!

I felt a bit refreshed.
