The Reincarnated Person Became a Professor at the Academy

Chapter 141 – God Of The Game (7)

A dark and damp cave heavy with moisture.

Our party arrived there.

‘Is it a type of spatial teleportation?’

It could have been severed midway.

The trait I possessed, Severance.

It had the property of interfering with space.

However, it was more inclined towards severing rather than connecting, so it was not particularly useful.

“Is this the place?”

“Quite an unusual place.”

It was the words of the Sea King who was surveying the surroundings.

I inwardly agreed. It was dark and damp with moisture.

But once you crossed a certain area, it changed.

And in front of that was a pure white capsule.

As if it were some kind of device.

Those who set out before us.

They were staring at the capsule with a bewildered expression.

“Wasn’t the Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor a martial artist?”

“Why is something like this here? This is a virtual reality game device.”

“What is that?”

“Think of it as a device that creates a virtual space for training.”

“Is this the tomb of the Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor?”

“The tomb of the Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor wouldn’t be like this… He was a martial artist. If the tomb where he was buried in the martial world had become a dungeon, it wouldn’t have changed like this…”

The people sensed something strange.

But they couldn’t stop here. The ones who trapped us here wouldn’t stop either.

I had no reason to help the ones here escape.

“Should I kill those guys?”

The King of the Green Forest asked me with a menacing aura.

I shook my head.

If there was a need to kill them, they wouldn’t have stopped us at the entrance.

At that, the ears of the King of the Green Forest drooped.

‘Is she a dog?’

It seemed I wasn’t the only one who thought that, as the Sea King and the Emperor wore expressions of disbelief.

“Who is killing whom?”

Yet there was no one here who couldn’t hear those words.

One person, flaring up, bared their teeth at us.

“Is the Green Forest King more moderate than I thought?”

“……What on earth do you mean?”

“Look at them. In my day, they’d run away just at the sight of my cloak.”

“That’s because you’re strange. If it involves demons, you blew away an entire kingdom……”

“Hey, saying it like that makes me sound like a homicidal maniac.”

“Don’t you think it’s worse to evacuate everyone and then blow up the kingdom……?”

“Well, there was no other choice back then.”

After exchanging words up to that point, they seemed to sense something odd.

“Wait a minute. That’s the Green Forest King……”

“Why is that crazy red fairy……?”

“Everyone, wouldn’t it be better to cooperate for now? Red communist and crazy blue……”

“Be careful. It sounds like you want to face the Green Forest King and Sea King alone.”

“What kind of crazy talk is that!!”

Everyone was chattering and then fell silent.

“…….”

The one who grasped the situation looked at me.

As if displeased that I had the others backing me.

“Do you want to die?”

“Shall I gouge out your eyes?”

“…….”

The Emperor and the Green Forest King spoke menacingly.

The High Realm guy who was about to complain lowered his gaze.

Not because he was afraid of me, but because the Emperor and the Green Forest King glared at him.

‘Well, the Emperor is one thing.’

But why you, Green Forest King……?

It was a slightly bewildering situation, but I passed it without showing it.

She might not deeply consider what it meant to empower me, but those around us thought differently.

‘What? Did the Green Forest King make peace with the Emperor and Han Seojin?’

They might think such things.

Even if Intermediate Realm folks attacked in groups, we could somehow manage.

However, it’s a bit different with Supreme Realm ones.

‘Roughly five.’

That’s about how many gathered.

Among them, one looked quite dangerous.

On the other hand, our party’s composition wasn’t that great.

Well, what could we do? I had no choice but to fill in the gaps.

While I was having these thoughts, the Green Forest King approached me.

With eyes like a dog seeking praise.

‘…Is she really a dog?’

Though mixed with doubt, I nodded in approval, and a satisfied smile appeared.

“Professor, that person seems a bit strange.”

Nam Hyerin came close and said to me.

“It’s a bit, no, very strange, that person.”

Shin Yura spoke to me from the opposite side.

I looked at Nam Hyerin and Shin Yura.

‘Even if it’s not Shin Yura, isn’t Nam Hyerin a bit off?’

I had watched when she met her sister, Namgung something, she giggled and tormented her.

Shin Yura seemed quite normal.

Yoo Eunchae described her as a villainess.

‘I don’t know if something happens to make her a villainess.’

She didn’t seem likely to go astray now.

She wouldn’t have hidden her true nature in front of me.

If anything, if she did that much, I should applaud her and acknowledge it.

“But what are they doing in there?”

[The theme of this dungeon is a game!]
[As long as you are in this place, you cannot attack each other.]
[To be more precise, the moment you attack, you will face an enormous penalty and be expelled from the dungeon. The location is 10,000 meters below the deep sea.]
[Since it seems everyone has understood the rules, we will now begin.]
[What you are looking at is a virtual reality game device.]
[Enter here and make your way to the top.]
[In preparation for any unforeseen circumstances, you can each access the device from different rooms.]
[We will begin now.]
We moved to one place.

Though it was called a team, perhaps because there were those who couldn’t be trusted.

The creator of this place locked us in separate rooms.

‘It’s amusing.’

That guy was always like that.

He approached with a genial smile, pretending to offer kindness.

And then, in the most opportune moment for betrayal, he struck from behind, reaping the greatest benefit.

He glanced at the device but didn’t take any action.

Though he was adept at deceiving others, his abilities came with certain limitations.

‘Wasn’t it that he couldn’t deceive outright?’

I didn’t know exactly, but that was the power he possessed.

In a way, he could be trusted to some extent.

That’s what I thought of him.

I lay down in the capsule.

I wasn’t worried. It was more about confidence in my abilities than trust in my teammates.

‘Maybe, that game will come up.’

Perhaps a different game would appear.

At first, I might not do as well as Yoo Eunchae while getting the hang of it.

‘But I have my pride.’

Shall I do it properly for the first time in a while?

I was once called a god.

It wasn’t because I performed any miracles.

No, from their perspective, my birth might be considered a miracle.

In middle school, I joined a professional gaming team.

And I defeated people older than me, those who were considered more skilled than I was.

People said,

“His physical abilities are amazing now, but his mental skills must be lacking.”

It was natural.

I hadn’t even been playing the game for a year, and I only played occasionally to clear my mind.

My knowledge wasn’t as vast as I thought, and their knowledge became good nourishment for me.

What I did by instinct, I started doing based on theory from then on.

I spent about three months like that in middle school.

I turned 17.

And I made my debut.

As soon as I debuted, all kinds of attention were focused on me.

Starting from questioning whether it was right to debut at 17, to the nagging comments about how I should be an actor or an idol just based on my looks.

There were countless controversies, and controversies bred more controversies.

What I did was simple.

Proof.

It was simple if I proved my skills.

Because I was always the best.

Moreover, it was an AOS game.

Even if I wanted to lose, I couldn’t.

Because I was always the best here.

However.

This team was unexpectedly unusual.

“Looking at the items here, it seems best to buy according to synergy. The Green Forest King and Sea King should go for health and attack power.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Pardon?”

“Sorry, but I prefer the red items.”

“……?”

“I will focus on buying red items.”

“I’ll go with blue items.”

“Ah, no, wait a minute…!”

“Oh, then I’ll choose black items since my divine skill, Divine Thunderbolt, is black.”

You bastards.

Yoo Eunchae was confident.

This dungeon was indeed difficult.

However, she utilized all the knowledge she possessed.

Yoo Eunchae: 5,215,182 points.

An overwhelming score difference.

But it was strange.

With such a score, shouldn’t even the GM be astonished and come to see her?

‘It’s about time they started scheming.’

But it was too quiet. Silent.

As if they had no interest in her.

‘That can’t be.’

How much power had he invested in this dungeon?

The investment he made to properly cause chaos was truly beyond imagination.

And it just passed by? Impossible.

So she checked the leaderboard.

‘Of course, I should be first… huh?’

Leaderboard.

Here, one could check the scores of others.

Her score was overwhelming.

With an unprecedented score of five million, she demonstrated the difference in power.

This score was an overwhelming one she had never heard of before entering this world.

Considering the person ranked below her had a score of thirty thousand, the gap was immense.

Even in other worlds, not games, a score barely exceeding one million was the top.

However.

‘………………I’m in second place?’

Yoo Eunchae looked at the first place with trembling eyes.

1st Han Seojin: 1,291,921,192.

2nd Yoo Eunchae: 5,215,182.

“……What is this?”

Yoo Eunchae’s eyes began to tremble.

She had never seen or heard of such a score in her life.

No, there was only one person she knew who could possibly achieve this.

And that person also had the name Han Seojin.

‘No way…….’
