93 – Surprised heart growing up… Oh, what a surprise.

Creepy-!

The loss of the five senses that I once felt,

A sense of fear that is felt more strongly, perhaps because of the lost senses.

I wonder if I’m sweating right now,

I couldn’t even tell what kind of expression he was making.

I feel like I’ll be trapped in this pitch-black darkness forever.

…If it weren’t for Leah’s voice coming from the side.

-Rye! Close your eyes!

Tight.

Paang!!

And after a while.

“Very good.”

Let’s slowly lift our tightly closed eyelids,

As if he had returned to the past, Professor Bergen was standing in front of him with a nonchalant expression.

“… Just now.”

‘What was it?’

Buck and go.

“Certainly, the ability to adapt to light is unbelievable for a vampire.

No, rather…”

Chuck-

“Hey.”

“Oh… Yes?”

“How long are you going to stand there blankly like that? Was what you just saw shocked you so much?”

“…How did you do it?”

“Why. If I teach you, will you imitate me right away?”

“How to do it right away.”

“… It’s absurd to say that a guy who copied shapeshifting once said it.”

Kikki-

Looking at me with cold eyes, I went back to my seat and opened a new pack of cigarettes while sitting on the chair.

Tup.

“Grad… You’re such a well-rounded, well-mannered nugget.”

“Don’t talk while smoking. It’s hard to understand.”

Sup-

“…Is it synergy between light and shade?”

Whoa.

Professor Bergen murmured as he stared blankly at the scattering cigarette smoke.

Somewhere, he had a lonely expression on his face.

“Why… I’m sure it’s out of control yet, but no problems…”

“I’m not trying to point out a problem.”

“Then what is it?”

“…You don’t seem to know how ridiculously blessed you are.”

“A blessing?”

I had the exact opposite opinion from Elena and Veronica, who knew about my constitution.

I thought they were almost the last leaf…

“Yes… A blessing. To put it a little more understandably.”

Kikki-

Irresistible emotions swirl in Professor Bergen’s dark red eyes.

“If I had the same physical condition as you…

The strongest of Merveus would have been me, not your older sister Adela.”

Completely different from the usual troublesome sleepy eyes,

Eyes that do not hide passionate emotions.

In those eyes, desire and jealousy,

And.

‘… Regret?’

Looking at my puzzled expression, I wonder if Professor Bergen himself recognized what state he was in now,

She quickly returned to her usual tired eyes and opened her mouth slightly embarrassed.

“… It was just like that, because I don’t really have any greed for power now.

Don’t worry, I have no personal feelings for your sister.”

“I was thinking about what to do if the professor asked me to introduce my sister.”

“Noisy.”

Hmm…

Talk. Tok.

“What are you doing all of a sudden?”

“Be quiet. I’m thinking of where to start teaching you.”

With my eyes closed quietly, only the sound of my fingers tapping on the table resonates throughout the classroom.

‘… You’re not going to sleep like that, are you?’

Because it’s Professor Bergen, not anyone else,

I feel like I’m sleeping when I close my eyes.

-Tak!

Fortunately, my worries were unfounded.

Not long after, Professor Bergen’s mouth opened.

“Yes.”

“… Have you decided?”

“Well. Anyway, you’re far beyond the level of the Shading Ceremony at the Academy…

From what I’ve heard there, it seems like he’s steadily gaining real-world experience.”

“Although it seems a long way off.”

“Then…”

Kikki-

“There is an old saying. It turns around and ends up walking in place.”

“Really? It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.”

“So that’s what I said. It’s an old saying.”

“… So?”

“Theory teaches nothing.”

But that is incorrect. Because theories are endless. So… Found a theory.”

…?

What do you mean by that?

“I’m telling you to come up with your own theory.”

“Theory?”

What kind of theories are you talking about all of a sudden?

‘I’m not even a graduate student…’

“Yes. Since you don’t seem to have any sense at all, I’ll give you a hint as a teacher.

The whirlpool you used earlier. Didn’t you use the light to increase the power of the Shade Ceremony?”

“Isn’t it?”

“Then what about the other way around?”

“…”

If you can strengthen the shadow of the shading type with light magic,

On the contrary, he wondered if light magic could be strengthened with shadow-type darkness.

It’s a simple reversal that makes you wonder if it’s too simple,

I never actually tried him.

“Well. What I have presented is just one of many theories,

In this way, always think and reason about what you can do.”

An action common to those who have reached a certain level or higher.

In the world, it is said that the meaningful result obtained at the end of such agony is called enlightenment.

As if Adela had discovered blood demon magic.

At this point, Professor Bergen began to wonder what kind of theory he was researching.

When I asked about it as carefully as possible,

He said it as if it was not a big deal, with his legs on the table and only his head looking roughly in this direction.

“…Are the shadows infinite?”

For words that were spat out as if nothing happened,

It was a subject with quite philosophical weight.

**

After class is over,

I went out into the city alone to get some fresh air to cool my pounding head.

“… Enlightenment.”

Well well.

If you think about it, if you think of the skills I’ve learned so far,

About Verzen’s shape transformation and linking the shadow ceremony into the ground and bursting it.

Shape transformation is the pursuit of all shading magicians,

In a way, it can be seen as a predetermined level of strength, so it is far from enlightenment.

That said, the skills the guild vampire girl taught me were only useful in special situations.

I can’t even get a feel for Professor Bergen’s theory.

“Infinite…”

At first glance, it’s the same subject as having a second grade disease.

Anyway, is there a reason why he gets along well with Professor Rina?

-Poof.

The moment when the finished wooden skewer is neatly placed in a trash can at an appropriate distance.

“Oh.”

Suddenly, a thought passed through my head.

‘…Wouldn’t it come to mind if I listened to more people’s opinions?’

A higher level than me,

A person who seems to be seeking enlightenment.

Fortunately, there are quite a few strong people around me.

Apart from Adela, who seems not to be good at explaining things like this,

He has excellent communication skills and is in a position similar to that of Bergen.

‘I’ll have to ask Mr. Verdine.’

The moment I thought that, I operated the smart watch and pressed Verdine’s name.

-Sueuk.

Beside the bench,

Someone came over and sat down.

‘… What is it?’

The reason for sitting next to me on another bench…

You might know someone, so turn your head to confirm.

“Hi brother.”

With rare pink short hair,

A girl with a sullen expression.

-Ssik.

Like something wearing a human mask,

He was looking at me with an unnatural smile.

“Who…”

-Awkwardly.

White eyes with no pupils,

An unnatural expression like a doll.

It was a description I had seen somewhere before.

“… My brother. Martina di Rai, right?”

A horrifyingly unintoned voice.

‘…Crazy.’

Why is he here?

– Jinha’s older brother. Long time no see.

-…Don’t pretend to be friendly. Monster.

-Aha… I like that kind of thing about oppa.

But…

-I wonder if you can say that even if the limbs are removed…?

Kwajik-!

“…Brother? Can’t you talk?”

A cold sweat forms on my temples.

‘…’

In the current situation,

You must never deal with this monster.

‘Why…’

Is this guy already appearing?

Besides, they say they approach me 1:1…?

Kick-

The girl bends her head grotesquely and forcibly meets her eyes.

“Brother…”

From noble mtl dot com

You know me?

At that time.

Click.

-… Rai-kun? What to contact…

Just in time, the phone was connected with Verdine, whose name I had saved.

Urgent rescue request..!

“…Verdine-san. Help me…”

Tup-

“..Up!”

“… What. You really do know? How…?”

“Eup!! Ugh!!”

Even though it’s obviously a hand as small as Bell’s,

I can’t get my hands off my mouth.

“Calm down, brother. I didn’t come here today to do anything dangerous…

In the first place, this place is too close to the academy.”

Puha-

The girl’s eyes turn to the smartwatch where the call time is running.

“… Verdinera. I know a troublesome guy.”

“Who is…”

“Ahahahaha… Isn’t it too late to pretend not to know?”

“I’m really new to it.”

“That’s right… It must be the first time…”

Ssiik-

“It’s fun.”

Leaving those words behind,

The figure of the girl disappeared as if it had been erased from the landscape.

“… See you next time.”

With only one reluctant word left.

‘…Failed.’

-… What happened? I’m leaving right now…!

“No. I’m fine now.”

… Wouldn’t it have been better to deal with it calmly from the beginning?

No.

Fortunately, even now, thanks to the phone call being connected to Verdine, she just walked away.

I don’t know what could have happened if I hadn’t prepared anything.

‘I was complacent.’

Although now the dimension is gradually rising to the surface,

All countries still don’t even know what the main executives look like.

That means,

Until then, members of the Dimension organization didn’t feel anything strange even walking around the city like this.

“… Ha ha.”

It’s terrifying.

Even now, I only realized it after actually meeting him,

No one knows exactly what he looks like, where he is and what he is doing.

I feel that it is not easy to have to fight with fragmentary information that only I know.

‘…Still.’

If you tell Verdine and Veronica what happened today,

A certain degree of countermeasures will be taken.

“Hello, Mr. Verdine?”

While holding on to his weak leg,

I started to explain what had just happened to Verdine.

Of course,

In reality, there was nothing special, so he emphasized the danger with a little exaggeration.

‘… If you twist it, you’re on the good side.’

It was a small revenge that surprised me.
