I Became A Flashing Genius At The Magic Academy - Chapter 545

……Ever since I arrived in this world.

Quite some time has passed, I believe.

The Temple of the White Night. A space where fragments of destroyed worlds gather, where the ‘failed Snow Whites’ left their last hope.

In this place.

Snow White carved.

Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that he assembled the carvings. His task was to gather the fragments that the ‘failed Snow Whites’ had carved and separated, and fit them together as one.

For the first few days, the process of fitting the fragments together felt quite easy. That was because the fragments of the Reverse World detected the locations of some of the fragments.

In this tiny fragment, information about all the worlds was contained.

All the worlds left traces the size of tiny crumbs just before their destruction, and those traces piled up, one by one, until finally they formed a single world called the ‘Reverse World’.

However, as time went on, it became increasingly difficult for Snow White to find the fragments. His goal was to complete the form of the ‘Twelve Divine Spears of the White Moon’.

However, not all the fragments took the form of dragons, and most of them were fake fragments that had failed, so the process of distinguishing them was terribly complex and time-consuming.

Yes.

Terribly complex.

Terribly time-consuming.

How much time had passed since that day. For an ordinary person, it would have been impossible to measure time in this space where there was neither morning nor day, but Snow White was cursed with the blessing of the Silver and Purple Moon, so every minute and second felt all too vivid.

‘The time I’ve spent in this world alone is already over a year……

Please let the flow of time be the same as in the real world.

Or, even if there is a difference, the other world should be flowing more slowly.

‘By now, they must have had their graduation ceremony……

Clang! Snow White, who had fitted the last piece of the white dragon, took a step back.

It was the moment that rewarded his days of toil, but he was so curious about what was happening in the real world that he felt like he was going crazy.

No, maybe I’ve already gone crazy. If it weren’t for the blessing of the Crimson Spring Moon, I wouldn’t have been able to endure a whole year in this blank, white space…….

Rumble……

Finally complete, the white dragon, the Twelve Divine Spears of the White Moon, creaked and began to move its heavy body. It was so large that it was impossible to properly gauge its size from up close.

“……Is this the hope that the Ancestor Mage left behind.”

Snow White sank to the ground and watched the Twelve Divine Spears of the White Moon begin to move on its own.

The final completed form of the Twelve Divine Spears, the hope that the Ancestor Mage, who spread magic throughout the Aether World, left behind to prevent destruction.

Wooooong-!

As it lifted its head, Snow White took a step back without realizing it.

Despite only taking a few steps, the distance between him and the Twelve Divine Spears of the White Moon instantly became several hundred meters.

-……Are you the ‘savior’?

To his surprise, the white dragon opened its mouth and spoke to Snow White. Snow White nodded without showing much surprise, as if he had expected this.

“No. I’m just an ordinary human being.”

-I sense a void in you that the Ancestor Wizard mentioned. You must be the savior.

“A void? Oh, do you mean that I don’t belong in the Aether World?”

Perhaps ‘void’ refers to his magic leakage disorder.

All living beings in the Aether World are supposed to possess mana, but Baek Yu-seol did not.

-He tried to turn himself into a void in the world, but he failed in the end. However, you are a perfect ‘void’ itself. You must be the ‘savior’ that the Ancestor Wizard prophesied he would summon.

“The Ancestor Wizard summoned me……”

Baek Yu-seol tilted his head as he pondered.

‘Something’s strange?’

He slowly began to circle around the White Night Thirteen Moon.

“I don’t understand.”

-Ask me anything.

“Why did you summon me in the first place? I heard that the Ancestor Wizard was incredibly powerful, so couldn’t he have solved it himself?”

-Because he belonged to this world. He couldn’t escape the fetters of the story. No matter how powerful he was, no matter how transcendent his powers, he couldn’t escape the limits of a ‘human being.’

“I don’t understand a thing you’re saying……”

Anyway, what Baek Joo-hee said must have been the reason why Baek Yu-seol was summoned to this world, but there were still many things he didn’t understand.

“I heard that there were others who were born with magic leakage disorder before me. Like Ha Tae-ryeong.”

-They are the ones that the Ancestor Wizard tried to turn into ‘voids’ but failed.

**……What?”

-We hoped that if we drained all their magic from those who had only a minimal amount of magic from birth, we could erase their presence…… but it was impossible. It only reduced their lifespan drastically, and they perished without being able to do anything.

“That’s, crazy……”

Baek Joo-hee added that Ha Tae-ryeong was the only one who left his name in history as a ‘failed void.’

-That’s why we summoned you from a higher dimension in the first place. I understand that the Ancestor went through a rather complicated and difficult screening process. He said that he turned this world into an experimental stage for beings from higher dimensions.

“……You’re talking about a game.”

As the only one who hunted the final boss with the ‘character Baek Yu-seol’ who had ‘magic leakage disorder’, he must have been the perfect candidate for the Ancestor Wizard.

“Yes, I think I understand why I was summoned now. Then why did you create the Black Night Thirteen Moon?”

The White Night Thirteen Moon lowered its head slightly. It was to listen to his story.

“In the first place, when the Black Night Thirteen Moon is summoned, the world is destroyed, right? Then why did you create the Twelve Moons and spread them throughout the world? What if someone like me or Hoe-gong Shi-wol gathers all the Twelve Moons and destroys the world?”

-That’s wrong.

The White Night Thirteen Moon shook its head.

-The original Hoe-gong Shi-wol was not rebelling, but following the Ancestor Wizard’s orders. It’s true that he now wants to become the Ancestor Wizard himself and is rebelling…… but he is programmed by the Ancestor Wizard to gather all the Twelve Moons.

“What? Why? If I just don’t create the Twelve Divine Months, then the world won’t be destroyed, right?”

-That’s wrong. The Black Night Thirteen Months is a destruction system to prevent the destruction of the world.

“What the… really?”

Baek Yu-seol’s expression crumpled slightly.

“What do you mean by ‘destruction’?”

-The dimension itself is torn to pieces, disintegrated, and disappears.

“……Then, what is destruction by the Black Night Thirteen Months?”

-Intentionally ending the world’s story, thereby preventing the collapse of the dimension. If all beings in the world, including humans, were to disappear, the dimension would no longer collapse and would be restored.

“How do you prevent that dimensional collapse? Is there a way?”

-There is only one way.

The Black Night Thirteen Months said without changing its expression.

-The existence called ‘humanity’ that creates stories in the world must no longer exist.

In other words, the dimension will not be destroyed if nature itself is preserved.

In a natural environment where dinosaurs, beasts, and plants thrive, ‘stories’ will no longer be created.

“Th, that’s impossible… Why are humans the cause?”

-That’s how it is with dimensions. From the moment that living beings write stories, the dimension begins to consume ‘narrative power.’ It is natural for it to be destroyed when all the stories are finished.

“That’s ridiculous.”

Baek Yu-seol shook her head.

“The world I lived in didn’t perish for thousands of years and continued to exist. Why is the Aether World like that?”

-That’s because in the world you lived in… there was a ‘dragon’ that protected the dimension from destruction.

“A dragon? There was no such thing.”

-It existed. It was just living in a parallel dimension that you didn’t know about. You must have learned. Throughout countless histories, mankind has depicted the existence of ‘dragons’ as myths.

It wasn’t wrong.

In most national mythologies, including those of Asia and Europe, the existence of dragons was must figureincluded.

Of course, European dragons and Asian dragons are completely different beings. Their roles and appearances are different, but they were real and served to protect the world.

-The higher dimension you lived in must have been protected by a dragon. However, here, in the Aether World, which exists only as a ‘story’… it is not protected by a dragon at all.

The Black Night Thirteen Months raised its head.

-So, he tried to create a dragon artificially. Of course, it wasn’t easy. I could only be born if I wrote the most perfect ‘story’…….

“So, the Black Night Thirteen Months was insurance…”

-You understand well. The dragon created by the First Ancestor was the Black Night Thirteen Months, the only one. Since he was unable to create a dragon that would save the world, he first created a dragon that would destroy the world and then left to summon a savior.

Baek Yu-seol hung her head.

Somehow, it seemed to be as the First Ancestor intended.

“……So, is the First Ancestor coming to get us out now?”

The Black Night Thirteen Months shook its head.

-I am the First Ancestor now. The moment I was born, he, who had only controlled the flow of the story from the other side of the dimension, became one with me.

“What, what are you saying?”

With a look of shock, Baek Yu-seol grabbed its arm.

“……So, there’s no way for us to go back?”

Until now, even if I executed something without a plan, I always had a vague hope that ‘somehow it will work out.’

But not now.

Even though I have completed the Baekjushipsamwol, there was no path to return to my original world, and the last hope, the Ancestral Wizard, has already become one with that thing.

I guess I’ll stay.

Baek Yu-seol sincerely thought so and looked up and laughed in vain.

– What are you talking about? Isn’t the story you scattered now coming to pick you up?

“……What?”

– Can’t you feel it? This intense emotional energy filled with affection. It’s so strange that you can’t find it.

Kugugugugug…!!!

Belatedly, Baek Yu-seol felt it too.

A strong shock that shakes the entire dimension. As the ground began to shake as if an earthquake had occurred, Baek Yu-seol hurriedly grabbed Baekjushipsamwol and supported the weight.

But the vibration didn’t last long and soon stopped.

Thud!

Eventually, Baek Yu-seol slowly raised his head at the sound of footsteps that seemed to resonate throughout this space.

Far away, but very close, a woman with black hair swaying walked over.

Now too mature to be called a girl, a woman with golden eyes.

Freame.

– Oh, that child is the blank that the Ancestral Wizard first wanted to bring. Although he failed and became the guardian of light and story…

Behind him, Baekjushipsamwol began to mumble something, but now was not the time to listen to it.

Baek Yu-seol kicked the floor and ran out, and so did the girl.

Holding each other tightly, the girl, who felt the warmth of body temperature for a while, asked in a slightly tearful voice.

“……Why are you so late? Why did I have to come and pick you up like this?”

Baek Yu-seol’s heart was also pounding, but he couldn’t cry when she was sobbing.

So.

He joked as usual.

“I knew you’d come pick me up, so I was waiting.”

Puck!

He got slapped in the cheek as a joke.

And, I was able to receive a kiss.

Feeling Freame’s scent coming close to his eyes, Baek Yu-seol hugged her tightly once again.

“Oh my, you said you would go first, but this is what you meant?”

This time, Freame hurriedly stepped back when she heard another voice.

“……Scarlet.”

“It took me a lot to get here, okay?”

A girl with light gray hair.

No, she had grown up too much to be called a girl anymore, so it seemed impossible to treat her like a child any longer.

“So, hug me too. Kiss is fine too.”

At Scarlet’s shameless and calm joke, Baek Yu-seol burst into laughter without realizing it.

My heart felt warm. Talking with loved ones, sharing body temperature, and sharing emotions are the most precious treasures that cannot be bought even for a million dollars.

“Why don’t you come? I’m not kidding?”

Baek Yu-seol felt a strange creepiness and affection and approached Scarlet.

This moment today will never be forgotten.
