I Became a Student at the Transcension Academy

Side Story Chapter 4 - Coincidence, Inevitability, and Encounter (3)

Can You Restore Your Lost Power?

“...... yes?”

Seo-jun could not understand Aren's words for a moment.

It's not that I didn't understand exactly,

I didn't expect Aren to say something like that at all.

Seo-jun's power was in a situation where it was extinguished as a 'cause' that collapsed the space of the boundary.

In a word,

it could be seen as a power from which records of cause and effect were deleted, and a power that had already been lost.

No matter how much the laws of the world were reversed,

something could not be created out of nothing.

It was a realm of creation that even observers could not touch.

That's why Seojun's power was a power that could no longer be regained.

Maybe Aren is why Seo-joon lost his power.

I thought he said something like that because he didn't know the details.

but.

“If you're not rude, can I check Kim Seo-joon's condition?”

There was a certain certainty in Aren's eyes that Seo-joon was looking at.

Seojun looked at Aren and nodded slowly.

The power that was extinguished at the cost of collapsing the boundary space.

I was determined enough,

and that's why I had no regrets.

However, it was also true that he felt a considerable sense of collapse at the loss of power.

to get there.

to come here.

A lot of things Seojun went through.

Because, in a way, it could be said that Seo-jun was everything.

Seo-joon could do anything Aren asked him to do if he could regain that power.

Aren raised one hand and pointed the palm to Seo-jun.

Then, as he gently

closed his eyes, a strange magical energy began to form around his open palms.

Eventually, the accumulated magical power turned into a lump and headed for Seo-jun.

It grew larger and soon began to embrace Seo-jun's entire body.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Seo-joon could feel the energy of clear magic running through his body.

It feels like your entire body is being scanned.

How much time had passed like that?

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

Aren slowly opened his closed eyes

as his magic energy faded .

“A little… strange.”

Aren tilted his head and continued.

“At first, I thought the power itself was sealed...”

Aren seemed unable to understand.

He shook his head and opened his mouth again.

“This is rather than the power being sealed... completely gone? Precisely, I can only explain that the cause and effect related to the lost power was excluded.”

At Aren's words, Seo-joon smiled bitterly. It was because

I didn't know what Aren's words meant exactly, but

I knew the rough nuance.

And Aren, who looked at Seo-jun's expression.

“Could you tell me what happened?”

Aren asked Seo-jun with serious eyes.

Seo-joon hesitated for a moment, but

then slowly opened his mouth with a complicated expression.

“Actually...”

The story that continued like that was 10 months in another dimension.

After that, it was the next thing to return to Earth.

A showdown with a great voice.

The work that prevented the fusion of dimensions by doing so.

Until the last time I had with the observer.

Seo-jun calmly explained the stories of the past to Aren.

The long story has come to an end.

“So... and the watcher... are you saying that the cow was extinguished?”

Aren opened his eyes and asked again.

Honestly, what is a watcher?

It was an unbelievable story, but Aren didn't seem to doubt Seo-jun's story.

“I don’t know until it disappears, but at least it is certain that it was banished from this world.”

“Three worlds...!”

Aren's eyes began to widen at Seo-jun's words.

He stared blankly at Seo-joon with an expression of disbelief

at all, as if the face would look like that if the sun rose from the west.

Wait, by the way, did Aren know the Observer?

Wouldn't the superintelligence, not the transcendent, not know the existence of the Observer?

The moment I had such a question.

< You banished the observer?!?!? >

Suddenly, a shout like a shout from a mentor was heard.

When I turned my gaze, the mentor was staring at Seo-joon in fright.

Unlike Aren earlier,

I wondered if the sun would rise in the west and south at the same time

.

< Uh uh uh how could that...! I couldn't believe I was standing there!! You really did that...!!! >

The mentor seemed to have forgotten even to blink.

He just stared at Seo-joon with his eyes wide open.

And then.

“Ah... so the causalities that were suddenly deleted...”

Aren's muttering was faintly audible.

In the past, even if I didn't want to hear the muttering in front of my nose, I could hear it on my own.

It was because of a transcendent sense that was not sensitive.

Especially after learning Irina's sense of dominance.

But maybe it's because he's lost all his strength and his senses are gone?

Unfortunately, Seojun couldn't hear what Aren was muttering.

“yes? What did you just say?”

“Oh, nothing.”

When Seo-jun asked, Aren hurriedly shook his head.

It felt like he was hiding something... but

Seo-joon quickly turned off his nerves.

To be precise, Seo-jun did not have the mind to care about such things.

“If that's the case...”

Aren looked down slightly with a troubled expression.

The power of Seo-joon that has disappeared.

It was as if he had heard the situation and realized that it was impossible.

As expected....

the moment I thought about it.

“It's difficult, but I think we can get it back.”

“...... yes?”

Aren continued with a small smile.

“Of course it will be much more difficult than I thought.”

A mind that goes blank for a moment.

“Let’s check it once more.”

Aren slowly rose from his seat.

#

Aren led us back to another room located in the living quarters.

It was not exactly a room, but rather a laboratory or study.

There were various books with unknown contents scattered on the floor, and

various magic circles that were difficult to understand were engraved on the walls.

The atmosphere is quite different from the clean room just before.

< Oh... It feels like you're looking at our director's lab. >

Actually, it was a lab in a good way

.

But Aren wonders if this chaos is his own order?

They were busy moving around the lab.

“According to Kim Seo-joon's words... the reason Kim Seo-joon lost his power was because he acted as a 'cause' at the cost of breaking down the space of boundaries. But... that's a bit incoherent.”

Aren picked up a book scattered on the floor.

Then, as if opening a book and checking the contents,

he touched a specific part with his finger and opened his mouth again.

“Because Kim Seo-joon was a contradictory being who was not recorded in causality.”

Aren checked the contents of the open book and continued to explain further.

Seo-jun's existence was a situation where causality could not be measured for some reason.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the law of causation could not make Seo-jun the 'cause'.

In the first place, there was no existence called Seo-joon within the category of causality. Therefore

, it was inconsistent that Seo-jun's power was used as the cause of expelling the observer in

exchange for depriving the law of causality .

Because Seo-jun's power was based on the magic of Samdanjeon (三丹田), and

this too was something that could not be measured with the law of cause and effect.

Still, the reason why Seo-joon can't use his power.

“Perhaps… it is because they are contradictory beings that are not recorded in causality as well.”

“Is it because I am an existence not recorded in causality?”

“That's right.”

Aren closed the open book and spoke again.

“As the observer was banished, the law of causality was deprived of the law of the world, but this does not mean that the law of causation has completely disappeared.”

To be precise, the law of causality descended from the main laws of the world.

Causality was still one of the laws that made up the world.

“And Kim Seo-joon is still an existence that has not been measured by the law of causality.”

Aren then added some explanations, but

honestly, Seo-joon couldn't fully understand Aren's words.

< What is...? How can a freshman come up with these concepts...? >

That's because the explanation was so complicated!

Now, of course, all power is lost.

Not being able to receive insight [S] corrections also played a role.

But even if you have insight[S].

Can you understand that concept?

‘I feel like my head is going to explode while organizing the concepts.'

Seojun could not easily nod his head.

Anyway, to summarize what we know.

When causality existed as the main law.

Seo Jun's existence could be treated as an exception.

Just like the transcendents were exiled out of the dimension.

However, now the space of boundaries is collapsing and various laws are overflowing.

The world has lost the basis for judgment to define Seo-jun's existence.

At the same time, there is no basis for Seo-jun's power to be manifested, so

the world did not acknowledge it and erased it.

“Beyond the observer, Kim Seo-joon has completely escaped from the laws created by the creator in the beginning.”

Simply put, a state in which existence exists but cannot exist.

That contradictory state was the current state of Seo-jun.

“Of course, this is just my speculation and hypothesis.”

Aren smiled slightly.

“Then how do I get my powers back?”

“You just need to modify the world’s laws a little bit. To be precise, it is to provide a basis for judging the existence of Kim Seo-joon.”

Amend the law to put a basis for judgment?

“Is that possible?”

“In the meantime, it was impossible to interfere with the law of cause and effect due to the rule of the observer, but now that the observer has been banished. A little interference with the laws of the world would be possible.”

Unless the Creator intervenes.

Aren muttered something, but

this time Seojun couldn't hear it either.

“Of course it is not easy. No, it's not easy, it's actually impossible. But it's not completely impossible...”

Aren paused for a moment before continuing.

“Would you like to stand over there?”

Seojun stood where Aren's finger was pointing.

It was the center of this room, where various magic circles were engraved like scribbles.

As Seo-jun stood in his seat,

Aren stretched out his hand into the air.

Then, as if the space opened its mouth.

Aren's outstretched hand seemed to be swallowed up in space.

It's like taking out something.

Aren's hand, which escaped, held a ball the size of a fist.

It seemed precious even to pretend to feel the unusual magical power.

Aren slowly closed his eyes while holding the orb, drawing out the mana.

Woo woo woo woo...!

As if resonating with Aren's magical power.

The beads began to glow brightly.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

And with Aren's voice coming through.

Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung...!!

In an instant, the entire room started to shake as if an earthquake had struck.

A moment of embarrassment.

Damn—!

Suddenly, the marble Aren was holding began to crack.

and momentarily

Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

“......!!!”

In an instant, Seo-jun's whole body began to feel a clear energy.

It feels like something small has filled the empty space.

“... Fortunately, it worked.”

In the meantime, Aren's faint voice was heard.

Cold sweat was pouring down Aren's face.

It looked simple, but it seemed to consume a lot of energy.

Seo-joon looked at Aren with blinking eyes.

Then he turned his head and looked at his body.

A completely different feeling than before.

Compared to the original power, about 5% of the power was returned.

I was able to use about... 5% of the power.

Even though it was only 5%,

it was also a power that I thought I would never get back.

“This...!”

Seojun opened his eyes involuntarily.

And just then.

“Unfortunately... that's the limit for the current situation.”

Hearing Aren's words, Seo-joon raised his head again.

“I expected it, but it's not as easy as I thought to touch the laws of the world.”

Aren pulled a chair and sat down.

Aren's expression looked as if he had lost all of the gin, and just

looking at that, I could guess how difficult the job was.

Therefore, at first glance, it could be interpreted as saying that it was no longer possible.

But Seojun didn't think so.

It's not different from ‘at the moment'.

Because this meant that it was possible in other circumstances.

As if he noticed Seo-jun's thoughts.

Aren took a little break and spoke again.

“Starting with the main topic…”

Aren then calmly explained the principle of what he had just done.

As expected, it was a complicated and difficult explanation....

To put it simply.

“Are you saying that you need cause and effect in one word?”

We need causation, a cause that interferes with the law.

To put it a little simpler, it meant that I needed money.

“Exactly.”

Aren smiled softly.

Whew.

Seojun involuntarily let out a sigh.

How did this guy's cause and effect follow him for the rest of his life?

what though

If I could get my strength back, I wouldn't be able to do anything.

“How much do you need?

“I need quite a lot…”

Aren paused for a moment before continuing.

“The orb you just used. It was something called a dimensional treasure... Oh, I guess you could say it's a transcendental weapon to Kim Seo-joon.”

this crazy

Seojun muttered involuntarily.

It's not even the dog's name for the transcendental weapon.

Even if you only measure the causality of the earth, it was a basic number of hundreds of thousands!

It was a device that could never be obtained without a free coupon.

Only 5% of the power regained by sacrificing that transcendental weapon.

It was said that 20 were needed by simple calculation.

Seojun sold Excalibur for 5,000 trillion the other day.

20 views is a whopping 10 views...

10 views...?!

“...isn't that crazy?”

Seo-joon finally let out his heart.

no wait

You said you used that transcendental weapon for nothing?

why?

As if he knew Seo-jun's question.

Aren slowly opened his mouth.

“And you have to collect the cause and effect of returning to the original dimension as well.”

“yes? A causal return to the original dimension...?”

“yes.”

Aren nodded and continued to explain further.

“As you know, moving to another dimension is almost impossible. A possible method is usually to use a medium of that dimension...”

Seo-joon nodded slowly.

How to use the medium of that dimension.

It was because he had experienced that he, a twisted being, came over here using Ryu Jin-cheol's body as a medium.

“But Kim Seo-joon-nim is in a position to go directly to that dimension. This really requires ridiculous causal consumption. It’s virtually impossible, so it’s an amount that spring would be right.”

At the time, Seo-joon was able to eliminate this ridiculous cause and effect by using a free coupon.

However, there were no free coupons anymore, and

the existence to issue the free coupons also disappeared.

Therefore, there is no way for Seo-jun to go back to Earth.

but.

“If you use the method as just before, it will be possible with minimal consumption of phosphorus and phosphorus.”

On the contrary, precisely because the observer has been banished,

the law of causation has withdrawn from the main law.

It wasn't that there wasn't much of a way.

“Let me explain in a bit more detail…”

Aren explained this by mobilizing all the knowledge he had.

He explained it in terms of magic and various phenomena, but

honestly, it was difficult for Seo-joon to understand.

No, it was too complicated for that!

Even if you take Merlin with rude words, ‘This progress is too fast!' I was about to shout.

< Wow...! These are things that you should be at the level of the director to know...? >

Even the mentor who was listening quietly expressed surprise.

I couldn't tell how complex the story was.

That's why Seojun knew only one thing.

“...... Even that means that there is an enormous cause and effect.”

In other words, it was a story that the money was enormously needed.

Holy crap...

what happened to this bastard's life.

Can't we get out of the bondage of money?

Could it be that the law that binds the world is not actually money?

The moment I thought so.

“But doesn’t Kim Seo-joon have no cause and effect?”

Suddenly, Aren spoke to Seo-Jun in a meaningful tone.

But...

why is Aren's expression familiar?

< That expression... Kim Seo-joon is cheating on the instructors... Hee hee!! >

At the same time as the mentor's words, Aren smiled.

“If you listen to my request, you will be able to solve it sufficiently.”

And Aren's words.

“......”

Seojun had nothing to say.

#

Hwaaaaaaagh!

A bright cloud of light burst out in front of Seo-jun's vision, and his vision reversed.

Before long, with the view reversing again, what I saw was a tall cliff.

And it was a city of enormous size that could be seen far below.

A city that feels like a medieval style somewhere.

It was none other than the city where the ruler of this dimension, the emperor, resided.

And the reason Seo-joon was here out of the blue was simple.

< Can I really collect that many causalities...? >

It was for causal farming.

Here's what Aren said.

‘In our dimension, there is only one way to gather that much cause and effect. It's none other than getting help from the imperial family.'

‘Is it the emperor?'

That which refers to the emperor's family?

‘yes.'

Aren nodded and continued.

‘I'll write a letter of recommendation, so I'd appreciate it if Kim Seo-joon could help the Hwang family instead of me. So that I can concentrate on my investigation.'

At the same time, Aren wrote a letter of recommendation to Seo-jun.

Immediately after receiving the letter of recommendation.

‘Well then, let's leave right now.'

So Seo-joon was able to come here by teleport.

Seo-jun headed to the city where the emperor resides with his mentor.

And by the time we got closer to the city.

“But I don’t know if I can get help from the imperial family with just this letter.”

Seojun suddenly had a question.

It is also true that the emperor was the most noble person.

I don't know what kind of concept the emperor is in this dimension, but

seeing that he uses the word ruler of the dimension, it seemed that if he added it, he wouldn't be able to add it.

It was unknown whether such a person would help Seo-joon, whom he had never known before.

< Still, since it's Aren's letter of recommendation, wouldn't it be okay? It's because Kim Seo-joon has only seen transcendent instructors, but in fact, beginners are also outstanding in their own way. >

“Well, that's true.”

Seojun unconsciously nodded.

As the mentor said, it's because the beginners are compared to the transcendental ones.

In his own way, he was a skilled man who competed against the strongest.

Even more so if it was at the level of Aren.

‘But Aren has something very unusual even for a beginner.'

Come to think of it, Aren was quite different from an ordinary freshman.

It was something I felt when we first met, but rather than being a freshman—.

“What is this again?”

The sudden voice brought Seo-joon to his senses.

I thought it was the voice of a mentor at the moment, but

it was different from the voice of a mentor I usually hear.

Besides, the tone seems to be somewhat displeased.

Seo-jun slowly turned his head in the direction from which the sound came.

and looked at it.

“You look stupid… Who dares to stand in your way?”

There, someone who seemed unusual to look at was looking down at Seo-joon.
