I Became the Only Non-mage in the Academy

[Dragons Appearing in the Middle of the City? Is Seoul Safe?]

[Seven dragons lingering over Seoul. It seems they all gathered because of one man.]

Various articles were spreading around. Large tow trucks were participating, and every broadcast news channel was stirring up the situation together.

Some of it was accurate, but most were incorrect.

‘At least I wore a mask midway, thank goodness.’

As a result, the status of the Masked Man, my other identity, skyrocketed among the followers of the Masked Clan.

I reviewed the accumulated tasks in the guild after seeing the reports.

The Electronic Witch was watching and asking me about the past month’s events.

“So, do you really have a talent for controlling dragons?”

Really.

The Dark Flame Dragon and the Void Dragon were exceptions; usually, dragons didn’t get along well.

If I hadn’t been in a position like the youngest sibling, I would have spent a month just stopping dragon fights.

Still, I learned a lot during that time.

I could use basic dragon language and build a foundation in magic.

-Actually, it’s not the best method.

‘That’s true.’

My Heaven Defying Control ability surpassed that of even the Heavenly Demon.

It’s absurd because her status as a transcendent among the transcendent was due to the unique position she held. The founder of Black God Martial Arts and the leader of the Celestial Demon Cult. Even the Emperor with the talent of ‘domination’ couldn’t match my control ability.

‘So, I thought learning magic would make it easier.’

I couldn’t master magic.

The Energy of Defying Heaven that flowed through my entire body had a nature that rejects magic. However, when the conceptual stat synergy was released and combined with the Sword of Autumn, I could use nearly infinite magic.

I thought I could use magic like dragons with that, but it was impossible.

‘Well, learning spells using the Energy of Defying Heaven is good enough.’

The one who taught me was Eternal Heaven.

Lately, she seemed more useful than Black Heaven, but I didn’t show it. Otherwise, she’d really get sulky.

I started training while managing the guild. It was thanks to the talent I bought to use magic or spells while wielding a sword.

[Skill, 「Dual Minds(S)」-250,000P]

The ability to split one’s mind in two.

Usually, this skill is bought by those who follow the magic swordsman path, but I needed it too.

Since I used twin swords.

The Sword of Spring, the Sword of Summer, the Sword of Autumn, and the Sword of Winter combined to form the Sword of Four Seasons and maximizing the use of Black Heaven was my ultimate goal.

And since I could embed Vigilance, one of the reasons I stopped the Dark Flame Dragon, into the sword, I had to buy it someday.

I sat down and checked my status window.

Black hair and black eyes.

◈Physique.

-「Heaven Defying Body(S-)」

‘……I’ve really become wealthy.’

My status window was incomparable to when I had only the physique, 「Heaven Defying Body(S-)」.

I worked so hard to fill this status window….

‘Or did I?’

Come to think of it, I had many opportunities handed to me on a silver platter.

There were sudden incidents that were quite troublesome, but nothing that made me shout, “How can I overcome this!”

Stretching, I thought.

Still, if I had to say what was the biggest gain over the past month, there was something.

It was learning how to use the 「Yin-Yang Divine Art(S)」.

How did I learn it?

“……Seems like we have a visitor?”

“A visitor? Who could it be? Is anyone supposed to come?”

“The Emperor did say she wanted to meet.”

“……Set up a meeting. When’s a free slot?”

“On the 15th when she returns. You know you have to go to the association the next day, right?”

“I know.”

I reported my survival at the association. The guild master must be fine to run the guild. Vice guild master Park Woon-hyuk and the Electronic Witch had been running around diligently, but it had been a month, so it was necessary.

‘I have a feeling I’ll be found out soon.’

Reflexively, I put on my mask.

Some people would notice I was the Masked Man soon. Some might already be guessing. However, it’s still very few. Many more people would find out after a certain event.

I had that odd feeling.

I stood up and checked my outfit.

“Hmm, except for the folded collar, it’s perfect.”

The Electronic Witch adjusted my clothes.

For some reason, she felt more like a wife than a secretary.

‘No way.’

I shook off the unnecessary thoughts and went downstairs.

I headed to the guest room just below. A strong presence was felt in that direction.

‘About fifty percent.’

Reflexively, my senses trained with 「Sword Demon(S+)」 calculated the odds.

Of course, it wouldn’t be just 50%. This was an estimate based on my martial senses. My power wasn’t limited to just that. The problem was that the opponent’s power was also significant.

Creak.

As I opened the door and entered, there was a woman in a suit.

“……It’s been a while. You’ve become quite a big shot since we first met.”

“It’s been a while, Baek Ji-yeon.”

She was Baek Ji-yeon, a hero from the association, known as the Sword Queen (劍后).

“They said you were a student. Those information department guys shouldn’t just get off with a warning.”

“Aren’t they supposed to be busy?”

“Busy? They might not show their true strength because of your peculiar power, but I can see the accumulated aura. This level can’t be achieved through ordinary activity. And such dense aura in such a short time… This isn’t just negligence of duty. It’s like they went on vacation instead of doing their job.”

Baek Ji-yeon frowned.

Despite her age, she had hardly any wrinkles. She was about the age of my ex-girlfriend’s mother in my past life. It’s quite fascinating.

“I did get stronger faster than expected.”

“Faster than expected?”

Baek Ji-yeon scoffed as if she’d heard something ridiculous.

“So, why are you here?”

“It’s because of a request. The association issued an official document.”

“There’ve been a lot of official documents lately.”

“The Nazi bastards have been too active. Well, they have a lot of enemies, but they’ve gone too far recently. And there have been anomalies in the Boundary as well.”

The Boundary was a place where great evils were imprisoned.

Not just great evils. Infamous Mines also resided there.

“These aren’t good news.”

“Well, that’s how it is. So, the association decided to respond.”

“……Only now?”

“Don’t look at me like that. The association’s command structure is quite complicated.”

Baek Ji-yeon held her forehead as if she had a headache.

“So, we’ve decided to form a union. Recruiting talents from various countries to create an organization to counter the Mines. The ultimate goal of the organization is the destruction of the Nazi Empire and the eradication of the great evils.”

“……Are you okay with that?”

“Don’t talk as if I’m some senile person. It’s an absurdly ambitious goal, but it’s good to have big goals.”

“……”

“I know it’s an absurd goal. The higher-ups know it too. But the idea is to deal a significant blow to them. Unlike the usual association, this time the rewards are substantial.”

Wasn’t this an overly ambitious goal?

Still, to be considerate of Baek Ji-yeon, who seemed uncomfortable, I changed the subject.

“So, how will you handle the personnel?”

“We plan to recruit talents from various countries and use them like a separate unit.”

“……Will the guild provide talents?”

“……That’s why I’m here.”

Well, that made sense.

I took a sip of the black tea the Electronic Witch had given me.

“Even in Europe, it’s gaining quite a bit of support.”

“Europe really wants to destroy the Nazi Empire. There’s Olympus, Asgard, the Knights of the Round Table in Britain, and the Paladins of Charlemagne in France.”

“The US is also participating. Actually, the Vaccine War has had a significant influence on this proposal.”

“Hmm……”

It’s an enticing prospect.

It’s also something from the original story. Originally, it was supposed to happen about a year from now.

‘Should I be happy about this or not.’

I had to enter there.

But I hesitated. Because while I was okay, the guild members’ skills weren’t ripe yet.

But I had to go.

Because there’s a simple reason.

Seong Han-byul will be joining that organization.

Slurp.

I thought as I drank the black tea.

And while participating in that organization, Seong Han-byul died.

Seong Han-byul could not die. Because she’s using part of her talent, she’s shortening her lifespan. Using her lifespan as a price, she could wield nearly infinite magic with the 「Infinite Cup(S)」 and create talents with the 「Book of Laws(S)」.

They’re certainly incredible powers, but compared to her true talent, they’re, well-

‘Well, it’s an 「Ex-」 level talent, so of course.’

I put down the teacup.

“Then we’ll participate. I’ll join with about three more members.”

The members I was thinking of were myself, the Elder, the Witch Maiden, and Dantalion.

“……Thank you. I’ll make sure you’re well compensated.”

“Instead of compensation, is there something else possible? For example, ……”

Just as I was about to mention something desirable from the association.

I sensed something unusual in the training area.

Thump.

The Black Flame Whirling God reacted strongly. It was different from the dragon blood reaction. It felt like a long-waited companion had shown the potential for growth.

‘No way.’

With a sense of disbelief, I turned my head towards where Seo Ga-yeon was.

Dong-.

At the same time, a peculiar bell sound was heard.

It was the 「Bell of Selection(S)」, indicating someone had ascended to a higher rank.
