Chapter 26: Regressor (1)
Chapter 26: Regressor (1)
Magic has numerous attributes. Some wizards use fire, while others use water.
However, because a fire wizard cannot teach a water wizard, the academy has separate classes for attributes.
The professor with the fire attribute instructs the students who use fire, and the professor with the water attribute instructs the students who use water.
However, this was Stella Academy. Very rarely, multi-attribute professors, such as Haewon ryang or Eisel, or someone who could handle special attributes, such as Fuleim, were arranged to teach multi-attribute magic holders.
Professor Eliman, well-known for dealing with all five attributes, was in charge of special students like Fuleim.
Flash!
When Fuleims staffs tip shone, a tree trunk grew beneath the fast-moving scarecrow and tied its feet. The tree trunk was quickly transformed into metal by material magic, immobilizing the scarecrow, and it soon fired a beam of light and pierced the scarecrows forehead, completely annihilating it.
Good job. The speed of coordinate designation has increased. However, it seems that the handling of material-based properties is still quite immature. Changes in properties are slow.
Ill do my best.
Yes. Lets take it easy. Oh, thats right, among the dwarf wizards I know, one is good at changing plant-based materials. Can I introduce him to you later?
Yes! I would really like it!
Stella Academy, without a doubt. The level of teaching was exceptional. It demonstrated a different rate of growth while learning the attributes when compared to being self-taught at home alone. Furthermore, some professors, the majority of whom were commoners, were quite friendly.
Oh, Im going to die.
Fuleim groaned in pain and sat in the back resting chair. A distant roar was then heard.
It was the sound of flame students practicing their moves.
Boom- quaaang!!
As she was sitting quietly listening to the explosion, some female students rushed out behind her.
One of them was crying while the other students comforted her.
Its okay, Arshuang. You did well too.
I mean. Youre still better at what youre doing.
Arshuang? At the somewhat familiar name, Fuleim pricked her ears.
but I lack everything compared to the princess.
Arshuang said so in a weeping voice. It was then that Fuleim remembered who she was.
Did they say that she was a genius girl wizard in the flame world?
Her talent was so outstanding that it was difficult to find in history, so she drew everyones attention and enrolled in Stella, but unfortunately, when she met a genius of the century named Hong Bi-yeon and was frustrated she remembered a girl with such a story.
Hong Bi-yeon treated the flame system more aggressively, but due to poor control, it was difficult to burn all the undesirable areas.
And the girl who completely controlled Hong Bi-yeons weakness was Arshuang. Her specialty was zero-point incineration, which allowed her to burn exactly where she wanted, and Hong Bi-yeon, the freshman, was under a lot of pressure because she was constantly being compared to this.
Her Mother was probably the biggest reason for that, but As a result, she began to act recklessly and eventually became a wicked woman, and was put to an end by Eisel.
Sooner or later the princess may even surpass my control.
uh?
However, a strange story had been told.
Did you see that terrifying rate of growth? Shes already copying all of my skills! Ive been practicing for years.
Fuleims expression hardened. Hong Bi-yeons ability to control would undoubtedly begin to grow when she enters her second year.
But why already?
Something, a variable that could change the future had come into play. Someone had made her aware of her creativity.
At that moment, the suspect came to mind.
Baek Yu-Seol.
No doubt Baek Yu-seol has accelerated Hong Bi-yeons growth.
what are you thinking?
Huh?
Haewon ryang came in, slumping into the next seat, and asked.
Are you thinking about that guy again?
That guy? Baek Yu-seol? How did you know?
I guess so. Youve always been.
Phew, dont say anything. This older sister has a lot on her mind these days.
You are the same age as me, not my sister.
Ahaha, I was born three months earlier? Do you know how big the difference is?
I dont know.
What, you? I was in my moms stomach sucking my hands and I was slicing T-bone steak.
Have you sliced the stake since you were three months old?
Haewon-ryang, who was dumbfounded, laughed. The conversation with her was such a delight, even if it was trivial.
He pondered for a moment, then asked.
Are you curious about the guy named Baek Yu-seol?
Yeah.
Theres been a lot of talks lately.
Right? It was kind of strange.
Being an alchemist was treated as a bit eccentric in this magical society.
For starters, alchemy, which was similar to Dwarven material magic, was difficult to learn and, in many cases, was useless in battle, so even magic warrior students were often hesitant to learn.
In other words, since alchemy itself was minor, the society of alchemists tended to be quite closed.
It was no different inside Stella because there was a perception that alchemy was a subject that only listeners could really listen to.
Meanwhile, the fact that a freshman created a new potion during an experiment, dealing a blow to Professor Maizen Tyren, who was known for favoritism among students. The speed with which rumors spread throughout the school must indicate that the path of existence known as Baek Yu-seol was not ordinary.
What the hell is that guy.
She recalled the original version with mixed feelings.
Friction between Eisel and Professor Maizen Tyren. Obviously, this incident actually happened in the original.
But In the original version, Eisel was unable to complete the Tyren Point Potion Type B and failed regretfully.
Although she exerted an amazing wit by combining all the knowledge of Kasahun and Maliwan, she was absurdly short of time and could not properly figure out the decisive formula.
However, this time the case was different.
Baek Yu-seol knew exactly how to mix, and was able to finish the potion effortlessly.
At this point, she had a question.
The contents of the complete recipe of Tyren Point Potion Type B were clearly included in the original work, as Professor Maizen Tyren, who took the failed result of Eisel to his laboratory, completed it quickly and announced it as his own.
However, there was no recipe for blending anywhere in the original work.
Of course. Would a chemical engineering formula appear and use in a romance fantasy?
<T/N: to remove any confusion, the original novel mentioned the contents (or ingredients) of the recipe but skipped on the detailed procedure since it was a romance fantasy and not a chemistry class.>
But how did Baek Yu-seol know that?
Something felt strange. He obviously acts like he knows something and moves like he doesnt know anything.
Wasnt that the case with this episode? Anyone who has seen the original episode where Eisel was first beaten will never know. But wasnt Baek Yu-seol perplexed, as if he didnt know anything?
There is no possibility of acting There is no reason to hide it by acting now.
Hes been acting suspiciously, but now hes pretending not to be? Its strange enough as it is.
You know the knowledge of the future, but you dont know the story of the original?
Then, a thought popped into her head.
Why did she think it was simple until now? Why did she think he was a possessor like herself?
Wasnt there another possibility?
Regressor.
Then, it could be explained that even if he did not know the story of the original, he had the knowledge of the future. Even though hes a regressor, he wont be able to remember all the trivial incidents that happened to Eisel.
Its not just a ridiculous story.
At the end of the original, in the last story, the character named Mayu Seong once got a chance of regression.
The Twelve Moons.
Silver Eleven Moon.
The only being in this world with the power of time. Fuleim was so taken with the scene in which it appeared that she memorized the lines one by one.
Only once, you can turn back time.
But in return, you will lose most of your memories. Maybe you will forget the one you love, and maybe you will lose all your important memories and be left with a sense of mission to save the world.
Also, after completing the mission, your existence will cease to exist. Without leaving a trace anywhere
The price of turning back time was the memory of himself and others. You dont remember them, and they dont remember you either.
Thus, the existence of I disappears from this world forever.
No one will remember that you saved the world, and even those you loved will forget you exist.
But will you really go back in time and walk again?
[T/N: Something like after completing the mission, the person will cease to exist and any memory about him will be wiped out from the people he knows/loved. They will have an empty memory.]
At that time, Mayu Seong decided to accept that fate.
Even if he couldnt be with his loved ones after completing all his missions, he could accept that sense of mission if it was to create a world where his loved ones could live happily.
However, Eisel stopped it.
I will remember you and be destroyed rather than live in a world without you.
Mayu Seong, who reluctantly fell for her persuasion, eventually gave up on returning, and the world was destroyed, but the epilogue ended with a beautiful romance blooming.
It was a sad ending, which she once thought was romantic as a fan, but since now its a reality, it was an unacceptable ending.
If Baek Yu-seol is really a regressor?
Blood flowed from Fuleims chewed lips. She closed her eyes and thought calmly.
Its just a guess.
Thats right. It was a conjecture. Speculation that fits the piecemeal information into the information you know.
I need to think more calmly. Im not sure.
But somehow, the idea that Baek Yoo-seol would be a regressor did not go out of her head. However, Fuleim struggled to deny the idea.
Because if he was really a regressor, even imagining what kind of heavy fate he would bear was hard.
I cant do this.
what cant you do?
I feel like Im going to burst out of curiosity because its not my personality to suffer like this. Im just going to go and tell him my heart out.
Saying that Fuleim jumped up and left the classroom, and Haewon ryangs eyes shook greatly.
Do you want to tell your heart? Her insignificant words made his heart ache.
