Became a Master of the Academy’s Hidden Skills chapter 53

Juseon Ki can be seen as the most outstanding professor in the academy from a practical point of view.

A person who does not care if he is considered to be a leader in the mage world that represents the school rather than a mage professor at the level that represents the grade.

But despite this, not many people knew the name of the host ship.

This was partly because he was reluctant to go out, but the biggest reason was his personality.

‘Typical geek.’

Even if they make a great discovery or invention, they only publish a thesis, thinking that it is a process.

A strange entity that does not perform much after making an announcement.

No one knew what he was looking for.

All I know is that they just gather talented people and lock themselves in the lab.

Everyone, no one knew his true purpose.

Even his students rushed to solve the task in front of them, not knowing the ultimate purpose of penetrating everything.

‘Because it’s such an absurd idea.’

Originally, Joo-sun Ki was planning to approach it in the form of giving advice because the words he uttered ‘accidentally’ were caught when the research had been conducted to a certain extent.

It was because it was a really big topic to decide how far the future knowledge would have to affect the ending.

So, in the beginning, I decided to go in the direction of slowly building up my strength while being extremely cheap, but the game didn’t allow that tempo.

If you ask me to go through it on my own, I have no choice but to respond.

smart.

As soon as I arrived at the host ship’s laboratory, I immediately knocked.

A door that opens automatically as soon as you knock, even if no one opens it.

It was a very familiar automatic door function on Earth, but it was a technology that was quite a few years ahead in the game.

‘It’s quiet.’

As if news of the cadet’s death had not been received, the laboratory was still crowded with research.

“Does anyone know the calculation of this formula?”

“Huh? That’s what I did recently. Wait a minute.”

“No, it’s because the environment is different this time and then. Back then, when I used 23g of intermediate magic crystals, and this time I used 12g of advanced magic crystals, so the reaction is different.”

“Ah… Then I guess you’ll have to research it on your own again.”

“…ah.”

Joo-seon Ki’s lab felt very isolated compared to the longing for external talent and hard recruitment.

They don’t tell you what kind of research they’re doing, but if you have talent, they’ll hire you first, and then give them a task that you can solve right away.

It was like a ghost ship moving forward like crazy even though it had lost its destination.

“Well, my senses are not wrong, you’re here.”

At that time, being careful not to interfere with the research as much as possible, he moved his body to the place where the host ship was.

Professor Joo-seon Ki, who recognized me first, greeted me with a waving hand.

Judging by the small applause, he seemed to be expecting me to come.

“Hello Professor, I…”

“I know, don’t know it very well! You are Lee Seok-hyun, aren’t you?!”

“Yes, it is.”

“I sent you a love call once, and it came out very cleanly. Our students are probably solitary magicians, so they took a good look at their weak physical strength!”

Prof. Ki Joo-sun slowly approached me, listening to what I was told whether it was a compliment or a resentment.

‘It’s huge.’

Judging from the game screen, it just seemed to have a bigger head than the character.

Looking at it this way, it looked like he was about 195 cm tall.

Even he was bending his back and shoulders, so if he took the right posture, it seemed like it would be well over 2m.

Glasses with messy hair and thick lenses.

A vampire-like skin and skinny skeleton that seemed to have lived without knowing the sunlight.

It looked like a Mad Scientist cliché that would appear in a cartoon.

“I bought that part high, but I decided to give up on you. Because if you force someone you don’t like into a lab, it won’t work well anyway.”

If you raise your feet slightly, you will reach the ceiling.

It was a pressure in its own way as such a big guy slowly approached me.

It was a moment when I fully understood what it was like to be prejudiced by appearances even though I knew there was no malice.

“So I had no choice but to give up on you. Professors other than me are just looking for you… Akasa even announced you as a disciple. Then wouldn’t you be busy just looking at it? So I gave up. So I gave up! I’m so glad you showed up like this! Even if you don’t have to come to my lab, it’s nice to see a cadet come to visit the professor!”

I couldn’t come up with the main topic hastily at the words that were close to madness.

No, I couldn’t open my mouth properly.

‘Aren’t you in great shape?’

I don’t know what happened, but the host ship was in very good condition.

I knew he was a strange person from the beginning, but it wasn’t to this extent.

The most interesting thing here was the research students who continued to do their jobs without paying a single glance while the professor was rushing like this.

I realized that the laboratory itself was a scene of madness, as it looked like it would calculate the formula and derive the result even in the event of a natural disaster.

“Um, what did I say too much? Yeah, why are you here? Unlike when I sent out a love call.”

There seems to be a bit of a back end.

“I have a favor to ask you.”

“Request?”

“Yes, I think it’s something that only Professor Joo-Seon Ki can do.”

“Ohh!”

Ki Joo-sun showed great interest when he said that he had pointed out himself among the many professors at Mirinae Academy.

I don’t know if an ordinary cadet would have said something like this, but my curiosity was raised because I had answered all five questions on the theory exam.

“Something! Say something quickly!

“It’s a bit too much to say out loud… Why don’t we just talk in a place where only the two of us are together?”

“That’s not possible, because if I leave the lab, I won’t be able to deal with the emergency.”

“Then will it be a whisper?”

“Ah, what is that!”

Now that the curiosity is amplified enough, it was time to get to the point.

Ki Joo-sun bent down to look at me with a difference in height to be considerate of me, and I whispered in his ear.

“…?”

A whisper with Professor Joo-seon Ki in the middle of a crowd.

This was something that researchers had no choice but to cast their eyes on once in a while because even working researchers were curious.

As each word continues, the host ship’s response changes in real time.

At first, his eyes widened, his legs trembled in the middle, and at the end he held his hand tightly and did not let go until a crescent moon appeared on his palm.

“This is my request.”

“…from whom did you hear this?”

“It’s an idea that came out of my head.”

“That’s right.”

After those words, Ki Joo-seon was silent for a while.

As he rolled his eyes, he seemed to be thinking deeply about something, then he just messed up his hair and took a one-shot of a full coffee pot.

Ki Joo-seon, who continued acting bizarrely as if possessed by a ghost for a few minutes, clapped three times.

match! match! match!

All the research students, including me, looked at the host ship for the attention-grabbing action, and he immediately brought up the subject.

“Let’s all go out for a while and give them a chance to come and rest! Of course, Lee Seok-hyun, you are left.”

“Yes? What is that…”

“Vacation! Yes! Vacation! It’s called Bancha? You’re using it now! That’s also using the free Bancha coupon I just gave you!”

The researchers, realizing that they had said the words to get out of the way as much as possible, hurriedly organized the research materials.

I don’t know why, but it was an act of faith that knew that I was never the kind of person who would say things like that in vain.

Even if he acts like a troll, he keeps the way.

Because that was the host ship.

“Everyone, get a good rest and see you tomorrow! I’m sure you’ll get a good night’s sleep! It’s okay to sleep well!

“Oh, Lee Seok-hyun is also my other father.”

“Isn’t your father already Professor Ki Joo-sun?”

“…Oh, the third father.”

“Seokhyeon god! Seokhyeon god! Seokhyeon god! Seokhyeon god! Seokhyeon god! Seokhyeon god!”

“Bring me! Bring me! Bring me! Bring me!”

After the unknown praises from the research students continued.

The host ship brought an empty desk and placed it between me and myself.

bang!

Actions that might seem a bit harsh.

I figured it was the uncontrollable joy that comes from a state of excitement.

Dripping tuck.

Ki Joo-sun sat at the desk and didn’t say a word until all the students left, and then immediately opened his mouth when he heard the door closing.

“Isn’t that childish?”

The first question to be asked.

I knew the truth of the question.

“no.”

“Don’t you think it’s vain?”

“no.”

“Do you really think that’s possible?”

“yes.”

Questions and answers followed without an exact topic.

But I continued to answer with eyes full of conviction.

“…that there is a cadet who has the same dream as me.”

“Did you, professor, have the same dream?”

“Yeah, what do you call it?”

The time it takes for a cadet to become a full-fledged person is about four years.

Even if his talent quickly blossomed along the way, he was scouted by the guild and received full support, two years.

Even if you have a brilliant talent, one year.

The host ship felt very sorry for this time.

Even at this moment, a dungeon suddenly occurs or a monster jumps out and kills a person.

How long should those without power be protected and live?

However, the powerful did not always save the weak.

Some might fight for honor or greater wealth, and salvation has always been just an accidental by-product.

Because it was true that wine eaten while protecting the nobles was sweeter than eating a few slices of bread while protecting the lower classes.

‘So the host ship went into research.’

A way to ensure that even the lower class can protect themselves.

If it’s an environment where you can’t develop your power, I think it’s okay to create something that will let you know your power.

An object that even a normal person can generate the power of a knight in an instant.

“It’s called magic armor.”

mage armor.

“It’s better than the name I came up with. Let’s do that.”

Now was the time to ignite that research in earnest.
