I Became a Flashing Genius at the Magic Academy [158-362][English Translation]

Episode 209 Chapter 46: Old Story (5)

Old Story (5)

After Melian's disappearance, countless wizards tried to trace his whereabouts by sensing mana fluctuations or tracking his soul.

Their methods were not wrong.

However, they couldn't keep up with the ancient technologies of the Carmenset.

Thus, although Baek-Yu Seul's proposal to backtrack the dungeon wasn't particularly creative, the method was quite groundbreaking.

This is because this technique was only supposed to be developed five years in the future.

"How is this even possible..."

No traces were left at the place where Melian disappeared.

There were no signs of magic usage or even Melian's soul. However, it was unrealistic for a massive will like a "wish" to leave no traces at all. It was just that no one had detected it yet.

'I feel a little guilty for stealing the technology, but it can't be helped.'

Baek-Yu Seul was leading the Black Search Squad of the Full Moon Tower with a composed demeanor. To be precise, it was more of a request than a command.

"From now on, we don't need the Spirit Rate. If it's okay, can we switch to the beta version? I need to adjust the waves."

Although he had been giving commands, he was still a student, temporarily granted authority, so he was being as polite as possible.

The Black Team did not refuse his request. Initially, they didn't believe Baek-Yu Seul, but now he was the only wizard producing results.

They might have followed even if it had been an order instead of a request.

"...It seems to be progressing smoothly."

Haesung Wol, the master of the Full Moon Tower, was watching the scene from a distance without missing a moment.

'He's an unusual child.'

Stella cadet Baek-Yu Seul.

Stories about him had been continuously coming in since the beginning of the year.

Even excluding the trivial tales happening within the school, his actions so far had been exceptionally peculiar.

His footsteps seemed to trace those of the great wizards who had left marks in history.

Seeing him, even Haesung Wol felt slight respect as a fellow wizard. It wouldn't be long before Baek-Yu Seul would undoubtedly rise to the rank of a grand wizard like himself.

But...

Apart from that,

'He is too exceptional.'

It was strange.

In every incident, Baek-Yu Seul always provided the correct answer. As someone quick with information, Haesung Wol was well aware of the recent incident at Levian's coast.

'The one who took down the Pirate King Black Belize in a single blow... was actually Baek-Yu Seul.'

It was true that legendary wizards in history left great legacies.

But none showed as outstanding a path as Baek-Yu Seul.

'That child is like...'

Following the whirlwind of countless streams of knowledge in his mind, Haesung Wol inadvertently thought of a certain possibility before snapping back to reality.

'What am I thinking...'

Maybe it was because he read too many fantasy magic novels as a child, but whenever he faced the impossible, he would think of impossible possibilities.
