"Wow, that was quite a sight."

Ersil was trying to catch her breath.

This was because her magic power had fallen dramatically.

"You were quite a sight too. I saw a bit before we left."

"Hehe, if a woman like me decides to, I can do that much with ease."

Ersil, flattered by the compliment, smiled.

[She's an easy one.]

'You can say that again.'

Agreeing with Heavenly Demon, I looked around.

Both teachers and students looked mostly tired.

Mines usually wouldn't work together, but in a situation this big, they would.

So either this is the end for the Mines, or they'll attack a bit less than this.

I'm thinking it's more the second option.

'But it looks like we're safe now.'

Slowly, teachers from other areas were returning.

This was proof that the situation was getting better.

Soon, this situation would be over.

'I wonder how this will end.'

To be honest, I was curious.

When Seo Yebin decides to get mad, who knows how far the effects will go.

Maybe all those connected with the villains inside the school or with the Mines will be kicked out.

That would make a lot of my knowledge pointless... but I had already planned for some of that.

[Tsk, more are coming.]

Before I even had a chance to ask what Heavenly Demon meant, there was a big explosion.

BOOM!

A loud explosion came from the entrance. Both teachers and students were shocked but quickly picked up their weapons and aimed them there.

"Haha, how funny. I gave them to the Mines, but this is all they could do. Maybe it's time for the Legion of the Sky to back off."

A middle-aged man with slicked-back blonde hair laughed.

He arrived confidently with about ten Mines.

The number was smaller than before, but everyone here was now tired.

But still, I wasn't worried.

Because the broken sky was going back to its normal state.

[It's almost over.]

'How does it look?'

[Everything is under control. That woman is watching this place.]

'Really?'

Well, the goal of my trick was just to get her attention for a bit.

It would be just in time for the other super powerful being to show up, so I took out a potion and a snack from the empty space.

"Ersil, do you want one too?"

"......"

Ersil looked at me in surprise.

It's tasty, so why not?

"Ha, it seems you've gone crazy, having lost hope in this situation. The Korea Hero Academy isn't that special after all."

The Mine looked at me with a mocking tone.

"You still manage to get my attention."

A calm voice echoed.

The Mine's action stopped.

"Is that so?"

"Yes."

There was a woman.

She materialized out of thin air, standing between the Mine and me.

Everything happened in a split second.

She had shiny golden hair.

Her purple eyes could penetrate anything.

Wearing a black uniform with a white coat over it, she was a familiar figure to everyone here.

She was bold enough to draw the attention of the character known as Evil.

"Did you take action?"

"I'd like to say yes- but I only managed to catch one Mine. A villain."

"I see."

"It's less that I was active and more that Kim Ara or Ersil there did their parts. Kim Seohyun and Hong Yuhwa as well."

"I see."

Seo Yebin shifted her gaze.

Her violet eyes settled on Seo Gayeon.

"Who is this?"

"I have personally awakened her magic."

"."

Seo Yebin unusually stared at Seo Gayeon without saying a word.

"I didn't know of such a child."

"Her magic awakening isn't that old."

"I see."

Seo Yebin's eyes stayed on Seo Gayeon for a while before returning to me.

"You always surprise me."

"Do you dislike that?"

"No."

Seo Yebin looked at me with a smile.

"Do you want something?"

"I don't think I want anything right now."

"Keep it in mind. Whatever it is, I'll prepare it."

It was a far kinder offer than expected.

'Not because I captured a prisoner, but because I awakened Seo Gayeon's star magic.'

But her eyes that instantly recognized that were scary.

"But how about the test?"

"Just speed it up. My third star will handle it, so don't worry."

Clap-.

As she clapped her hands, a woman with green hair appeared.

A woman dressed in a sky-blue dress, her eyes entirely covered with a white cloth.

She's Seo Yebin's third star.

The stars are her helpers. A being like a doll. Without self-awareness, they faithfully obey the commands of the Emperor, handy aides.

Before she gained the nickname Emperor, her title was Puppetmaster.

As she bowed her head with her hands clasped, light burst from the ground.

Woosh-!

My tired energy recovered in an instant.

Not just that, it also restored my magic power and inner strength.

It doesnt work against the sky.

That's disappointing.

However, considering the power of the sky, it was a natural outcome.

"You, what did you."

Ersil stood next to me, taken aback.

"The principal said she would watch with interestbut it seems it's not at that level."

"This is the first time I've seen the principal smile like that."

Professor Song Rahee and instructor Seo Woojoo stood side by side and said.

"Is that so?"

"It's not just 'is that so'. She has insight into everything."

Seo Woojoo looked at me with complicated eyes.

The more Seo Yebin wants me, the more dangerous I become.

Does he have information about Seo Yebin.

"Let's organize the situation."

Seo Yebin suggested.

All the instructors began to find their spots.

To conduct the 'Mock Battle' that hasn't taken place yet.

Despite the Mines on the other side, they moved in that direction.

[Witness, that is the power a supreme being holds.]

Heavenly Demon gestured towards Seo Yebin.

The Mines were still trembling.

The face of the one who was most confident was turning ghostly white. Extremely pale.

"These are all Mines."

"P-please, have mercy!"

Seo Yebin looked at them.

"How can I save those who are already dead?"

"Eh?"

Seo Yebin asked with genuine curiosity.

And that was the finale.

The Mines began to turn to ash gradually, starting from their toes.

It was one of her powers, the power of Declaration.

Just words, but they pushed all the living Mines to 'death'.

"Ughhhhh!"

"W-what is this!"

The Mines cried out.

Death indeed took their lives.

The mock battle concluded in a haze.

I barely defeated Saint.

Kim Seohyun fought against Ersil, and Ersil emerged victorious.

Hong Yuhwa and Park Woonhyuk sparred, and Park Woonhyuk was the victor.

"Did you watch the fight between Hong Yuhwa and Park Woonhyuk?"

"It was crazy. I thought Woon-hyuk would win effortlessly."

I had the same thoughts.

'Honestly, I thought Park Woonhyuk would win without breaking a sweat.'

Because of the difference between warriors and mages.

Even if a mage has distance, it's still a tough fight.

However, it seems that Hong Yuhwa's intense physical training, in competition with me, played a crucial part.

'I wasn't sure this was the right approach, but it turned out well.'

In the original, she would have neglected physical training and focused on magic while feeling competitive with Kim Seohyun.

But I started with a physique similar to Hong Yuhwa.

Even though it's grown a lot now, Hong Yuhwa also seems to have made a remarkable change.

'Not bad, huh?'

In the future, she would become a 'Pillager', which would require her to use her physical abilities as well.

Should I say she's in a kind of magic-swordsman state?

As I watched the remaining mock battles while eating the medicinal herb I brought from the void space, I noticed someone approaching me.

Ersil Merhen was heading my way.

"Congratulations on your win."

"Thank you."

Ersil sat quietly next to me.

"But what about that guy?"

"Seohyun?"

"Yes."

Her playful grin morphed into fear.

"What's with him? I thought the martial art he uses with that dragon was his main, but I was shocked when a new martial art popped up every time he fought."

"He probably knows nine martial arts."

"Nine?"

Ersil was hugely taken aback.

But it's too early to be shocked.

Just counting martial arts, there are nine.

Counting the skills that Kim Seohyun possesses when it comes to magic, Kim Seohyun has virtually limitless abilities.

He not only uses magic but also poison, illusions, barriers, and formations, and even secrets.

The character most similar to the main character in this world.

Therefore, the character Kim Seohyun carries a significant tragedy.

"The next students to step up are Kim Ara and Park Han-wool!"

Kim Ara faced an opponent ranked within the top 100. But the rival, who was much higher than Kim Ara, watched her with tension.

She didn't hide her strength when battling with Mines, and he saw it.

"Did you catch Kim Ara's fight with the Mine earlier?"

"No, I missed it. Why are the kids so terrified of her?"

"She crushed one of the Mines."

"......Considering her size, it's not surprising she could crush them."

Kim Ara is tall. She has an extraordinary height of 175cm, but the Giant's Sword is much larger.

On top of that, she has activated the 'Giant's Bloodline'.

It's not odd to say she literally crushed them.

Ersil and I chatted while watching the mock battles.

Seo Gayeon battled an opponent ranked in the 700s and narrowly won.

And Seo Gayeon received healing from 'Star' thanks to Principal Seo Yebin's goodwill.

"That's amazing, that healing ability."

"Do you wish for it?"

"No, I don't want to be in the principal's sights."

Ersil said with a wry smile.

I agreed with that.

I nodded and looked in the opposite direction.

I saw Saint.

Saint wasn't wearing the confident grin he had when he didn't lose even against a Mine.

However, he was observing Seo Yebin with a dark gaze.

That's because that woman is Saint's relative.

He arrived to try out the Korea Hero Academy, but that was a lie.

The true mission of Saint is that woman.

Seo Yebin.

The woman with the alias Emperor.

'The dark side of the Korea Hero Academy.'

Emperor.

It was also the reason why a supreme being, Seo Yebin, a woman who governs the world, was assigned to a school to nurture heroes.

It's bizarre that a supreme being just stays at a school.

She has long been in a position of power.

If she wanted to build influence, countless talents would flock to her.

Yet, she turned down every opportunity she was given.

Seo Yebin held the post of principal at the Korea Hero Academy and fulfilled her duties.

She selected the finest 'gems' among jewels and stones.

'There's a reason for everything.'

......Because all the stars she holds were once students of the Korea Hero Academy.

enjoy! :)

sorry, yesterday i uploaded a slightly less edited version of the chapter by accident, so 2 things have been changed:

1. the mention of "Heaven's Horse" is supposed to say Tianma instead, so that has been fixed

2. it is NOT supposed to say he teleported her into a box with his mind LMAO it's supposed to say he moved her into a box, so that's been fixed too

thank you for your patience!!
