The university with the stone box was located in Kyoto, Japan.
It was 600 km away from the race in a straight line.
‘I don’t even need to get on a plane.’
It was me who had been walking all over the huge continent of Antarctica through a blizzard.
The weather was also good, so the 600 km flight was not very tiring.
I’m not going to get on a plane, I’m just going to fly.
I disappeared into invisibility in an uninhabited place.
chu chu chu chu-
＜Rocket Suit＞ wrapped around my body.
From noble mtl dot com
This suit is made by attaching a micro-rocket engine to armor that reduces air resistance.
Not too long ago, I received the knowledge to create ＜Magic Rocket Engine＞ from the tree.
It was literally an engine that created thrust by consuming elixir.
Unlike a general rocket engine, it does not need oxygen in the first place because it is not a mechanism that obtains propulsion by combustion reaction.
So it can be used even in outer space where there is no air.
Sooner or later, the day will come when this engine can be used to fly beyond the atmosphere.
Whoops-
We started flying towards our destination.
The rocket engine hadn’t started yet.
As soon as it is activated, it breaks through the speed of sound, and people are surprised when a sonic boom is created at such a low altitude.
Whoops-
He escaped Bulguksa Temple by flying using only ＜Psychokinesis＞.
After a while, passing over the tomb of King Munmu, the open sea spread out in front of me.
‘Shall we fly in earnest?’
Woo woo woo-
Rocket engine started.
Plasma spewed from several small engines dotted around the suit.
Elixir generates plasma to create thrust.
pat-
It broke the speed of sound in an instant and a sonic boom occurred.
Supersonic flight began.
Whoops-
By using ＜Psychokinesis＞ to maintain balance and change direction, high-level technical skills were not required when making the suit.
It was just a couple of walnut-sized rocket engines attached to the Orichalcon armor.
Whoops-
Flying at supersonic speed towards the horizon where the sky meets the sea, it was refreshing as if my heart was pierced.
‘exciting!’
The maximum speed when flying with ＜Psychokinesis＞ alone was about 300 km/h.
It wasn’t slow, but it wasn’t very fast either.
It was similar to the speed of ＜Apache Helicopter＞.
However, when flying using a rocket engine, it became more than 10 times faster.
I checked the GPS speedometer.
It was about 3,700 km/h.
‘Mach 3!’
If the size of the rocket engine is increased a little more, Mach 5 will be no problem.
Above Mach 5 was hypersonic flight.
Although she was wearing armor that reduced air resistance, it was unreasonable for hypersonic flight.
You will need a ‘magic complement’ to further reduce resistance.
You can easily reduce air resistance by flying at a much higher flight altitude and flying in a thin atmosphere.
However, it would be nice to have a way to fly fast even at low altitude.
‘How on earth do UFOs fly like that?’
Some of the UFOs captured by mankind have maneuverability that cannot be explained by the laws of physics.
Even moving at hypersonic speeds in the atmosphere, there was no air resistance.
Of course, most of the UFO-related videos circulating on the Internet were fake.
However, when I ordered the US president to search through classified documents, there were many real ones.
Whoops-
In no time, we reached the mainland of Japan.
‘fast!’
In the future, there will be no need to take a passenger plane to a nearby country.
Still, a private plane was necessary.
Because Europe and America are too far away to fly in a suit like now.
You can’t give up the fun of flying while sitting on a luxurious sofa and drinking champagne.
Whoops-
Crossing mainland Japan, we finally arrived at our destination, Kyoto.
It overlooked the campus of the university in question.
I landed in front of the main gate while maintaining invisibility.
＜Kawaramachi National University＞
hiss-
I took the school’s professor, Sasaki, out of the inventory.
I also cast an invisibility spell on him.
No one else could see us, but he and I could see each other.
He looked around and asked me in surprise.
“[H], this is the school I work at! How is this possible! Who the hell are you?]”
“Shut up and guide me to the relic!”
He started walking toward the school museum.
People were gathering in front of the entrance of the museum holding pickets and protesting.
“[Please return the ashes of our ancestors!]”
All were Japanese.
I asked Sasaki who they were and why they were protesting.
“[Okinawa people. They have been doing that for several years to return the ashes of their ancestors.]”
There are also minorities in Japan.
The ‘Ainu’ living in Hokkaido and the ‘Ryukyu’ living in Okinawa are representative.
In the past, the Japanese Empire established several Imperial Universities (帝國大學) to study and teach studies under their control.
The predecessor of this school was also the Imperial University.
In particular, the school’s archeology professors collected the remains of various peoples from all over the world in the name of ‘anthropological research’.
It’s a good thing to collect, but without the consent of descendants, they dug up the tomb of the colony and took away the remains.
Korea was no exception.
In the museum of this university, not only Korean relics but also Korean remains were kept.
In fact, the research on the remains of the Japanese imperialists was a piecemeal study that proceeded after determining the answer first.
The Japanese Empire was trying to create evidence that their Yamato people were the most superior race in the world.
They tried to establish the ideology that it was natural for them, who were genetically superior, to rule the colonial peoples, including Koreans.
It was similar to the Germanic racism of the Nazis in Germany.
“You think so too? Is the DNA of Japanese people superior to that of other peoples?”
“…”
Sasaki looked at my question and couldn’t answer.
After all, this guy was the same guy.
It was because they were stealing artifacts from other countries in order to fabricate that human civilization started in Japan.
Although the Japanese Empire had collapsed, the professors at the university were still adhering to the ideology of the past.
That is why the ashes are still not returned to their original owners.
Universities in other countries that committed similar acts apologized to the victims and returned the remains, but only Japanese universities were stubborn.
‘Those who look like garbage.’
After I get the stone box, I’ll have to incinerate the trash.
.
.
.
With the guidance of Sasaki, it was not difficult to find the location of the relic storage room.
A stone box was found inside the box along with other stone objects.
I held the stone box in my hand and filled up the elixir.
self-
A golden liquid rose.
The genuine product was certain.
hiss-
I put the stone box in my inventory.
‘okay.’
I have achieved my goal of coming here.
So, all that remains is to punish the professors here.
There is no point in simply ＜deleting＞ them.
It will make all the artifacts go back to their places.
All artifacts not only here at the university but also at other schools and museums in Japan will be returned to their original locations.
‘By using their blood.’
Sasaki looked at me and opened his mouth.
“[Now that you got what you wanted, will you release me?]”
“No, you have work to do.”
“[yes? I want you to do something…]”
“Just sigh! When you wake up, you will be a hero.”
“[What does that mean?]”
Sasaki blinked his eyes, not understanding what I was saying.
I put my hand on his head.
‘acceptance.’
hiss-
Put him back in your inventory.
and,
self-
I transformed into Sasaki.
***
The protests that started in the morning did not end until evening.
The head of the department, who came out of the building with other professors to leave for work, frowned at the protesters.
‘They’re like worms…’
One of the demonstrators recognized the department head’s face and shouted.
“Professor Kenzo!”
Then an old woman with gray hair came up to him and begged him.
“Professor Kenzo! Please return the ashes of our ancestors!”
Kenzo opened his mouth with an apologetic expression.
“I’m sorry. The return of the remains is not such a light matter that I can decide.”
“Why on earth are you not going to give it back?”
“…”
Kenzo kept his mouth shut at the continued question.
“Please give me back! please!”
The old woman sobbed, but eventually her legs gave out and she sat down on the floor.
Then Kenzo helped her.
Then he whispered in a low voice that only the old woman could hear.
“This is why minorities are not allowed.”
“yes?”
“I have never thought of you as Japanese like me. You are the second thing I hate next to Josenjing! You guys never sacrifice a cow for a generation. Why don’t you give up precious materials essential for the development of Japanese archeology? Still uncivilized and stupid!”
“I beg your pardon?”
When Genzo suddenly revealed his true nature, the old woman was so startled that she doubted her ears.
the guy spoke
“If it hadn’t been for you, Josenjing, and the grace of the Japanese Empire, I would have been living in an uncivilized and destitute state. But you don’t know how to be thankful, and instead run a herd?”
“What, what?!”
“If you are old, die quickly!”
“You bastard! Evil devil!”
omg!
The old woman couldn’t stand Genzo’s provocation and fell into fainting while screaming.
Kenzo then shouted at the protesters.
“Grandma is in critical condition! Stop protesting right now! I have to save people’s lives first!”
People who had been protesting came and supported the old woman.
“Let’s take them to the hospital first!”
“I-I’m fine!”
The old woman came to her senses.
Then he glared at Kenzo with bloody eyes.
Kenzo looked at the old woman with a mocking expression.
It was then.
humming-
A small truck pulled out from the back of the museum.
Then he came to the protesters and stopped.
Someone got out of the driver’s seat.
It was Sasaki, an archeology professor at the university here.
To be precise, it was Choi Min-hyeok who transformed into Sasaki.
Minhyuk Choi learned another transformation magic not too long ago.
It was a magic that could transform into someone else’s form.
It wasn’t just the face and appearance that changed the same.
Even fingerprints and irises became the same.
“Sasaki?”
The professors looked at him in amazement.
Choi Min-hyeok pointed to the truck and shouted at the protesters.
“I brought the ashes of your ancestors, so take them home with you!”
People flocked to the truck with dubious looks on their faces.
“yes? Are these really the bones we are looking for?”
Choi Min-hyeok handed them a document stating the source of the remains.
People compared the numbers marked on the documents and storage boxes and shouted.
“Really! These are the remains of our ancestors that we are trying to get back!”
The old woman regained her strength at the sound and approached Choi Min-hyeok.
Then he bent down until his head touched the ground.
“thank you! thank you!”
“What are you thankful for? Of course I wasn’t giving back what I was supposed to give back!”
It was then.
“Sasaki!”
From noble mtl dot com
The head of the department, Genzo, ran up and shouted.
“Sasaki! You’ve been doing where and what you’ve been doing all of a sudden and doing crazy things! Are you insane now!? Unauthorized release of our valuable research data!”
“Let’s just hit one.”
“what?”
hiss-
puck-
Choi Min-hyuk’s fist, which cut through the wind, pierced Genzo’s face.
Then Kenzo’s pupils dilated and he sat down helplessly.
Other professors rushed over to check Kenzo’s condition and exclaimed in surprise.
“I’m not breathing!”
