Possessor #2 Just Wants to Fangirl Chapter 104

‘I was taking the same class as a subordinate?’

While I fell into momentary confusion, the door flung open and Professor Joo appeared. Seems he noticed my presence and came out to greet me.

“We’re moving immediately.”

Right, situation assessment comes later.

I shelved the subordinate situation for now and obediently followed behind Professor Joo.

As expected, he was using a teleportation circle to take me to his personal training room, same as before.

‘The Room of Time and Space…’

Professors each maintain training rooms under Yeouido, and Professor Joo’s training room is a desolate sandy plain.

A lonely space where you’d lose your sense of self. The horizon isn’t visible.

He said if I reached that horizon-like place there’d be a door, but that’s nonsense. Last time I naively believed those words and ran desperately, but no matter how many times I fainted, the door never appeared in the end.

Professor Joo shut off the teleportation circle.

Now there’s no way to escape from here.

“Don’t worry. This time it’s not physical training.”

Not reassuring at all. Because Professor Joo is drawing his sword and cracking his neck.

Soon a peculiar order came.

“Try using a skill on me.”

Hmm…

I’m starting to see commonalities among crazy professors.

“Start with your unique skill. Use what you used during the awakening test.”

He’s even demanding I hit him with Flame Spear right off the bat.

As expected, this one’s crazier.

When I hesitated, Professor Joo lifted one corner of his mouth in a smile.

“I can handle your level of power sufficiently.”

“But you’re a professor…”

“If you don’t do as told, you can’t leave this place.”

“Then excuse me.”

It bothers me, but… Professor Joo is one of the strongest, so it should be fine, right?

After rationalizing like that, I summoned Flame Spear.

CLANG—

“……”

Professor Joo deflected the igniting spear with a slash the moment it descended.

I’m not sure that should even be called a slash. Like swatting away a fly, he casually waved his hand looking annoyed, and it got deflected.

‘That’s level 99 flame magic though…’

Of course, I didn’t say that out loud.

Professor Joo stared at his sword-gripping hand for quite a while before opening his mouth again.

“Try again.”

“Yes.”

“But this time, try while walking.”

As expected, professors see something when they take hits directly.

Still, this is good news for me.

‘I knew there was a reason!’

A fact I learned from that incident. I can’t use skills while being carried. Professor Joo guessed the reason just from taking one Flame Spear hit.

I need to figure out the reason too!

But before that…

“Professor? I need a mana potion to try again though?”

“…Your mana consumption per skill is large.”

Hitting a sore spot.

Actually, this is quite a worrying point.

Especially on floor 2 where we can’t use inventory—it’ll be hard to carry numerous mana potions around individually. I’ve thought of a method, but whether it’ll work well…

“Use as much as you need.”

Meanwhile, Professor Joo set down a potion rack at my feet. Inside the rack shaped like a bookshelf, there are at least 30 potions.

Looking at the labels, most are mana potions but…

“Why are you giving me Resurrection Potion?”

“Just in case, keep it with you.”

‘So why is there a ‘just in case’!!!’

The hellish memories were summoned again. That gaze when he woke me with Resurrection Potion saying ‘how intriguing.’ I should’ve recognized it then. Professor Joo is also a crazy professor.

Last time I suffered so badly that I feel uneasy, but I did resolve to get stronger.

Right, this is a free lesson from a crazy professor!

Plus, if I faint here by any chance, Professor Ban will definitely go berserk and torment Professor Joo instead of me!

I mustered courage like that and slammed down Flame Spear again.

CLANG—

“Try walking faster.”

CLANG—

“Increase your speed more.”

CLANG—

Gradually increasing speed while using skills, but Professor Joo still treated the world’s top 3 Flame Spear like a fly. Seeing that, I dutifully kept politely slamming down Flame Spears.

Then the moment I reached power-walking speed,

“It’s not working?”

Skill activation stopped.

Professor Joo rested his chin, contemplated for a while, then slowly nodded.

Seems he finally figured out the reason.

“Why is that?”

“I can’t tell you.”

“…?”

“If you become my advisee student, I’ll consider it.”

I didn’t know this person would say something like that…

As expected, Professor Joo is also formally entering the Yeon Sora auction.

Professor Joo loosened up once more, then this time put down his sword while giving a new crazy order.

“Try the new skill too.”

Professor Joo watched the instructional Drone Eye. He’s the only person who can view the footage the twins shot.

Even after watching that, he’s telling me to try the Dark Orb Racing skill.

“Will you be okay?”

Pfft—

A contemptuous laugh. Having just witnessed Professor Joo’s monstrous power, I quickly became polite and followed the order.

Fwooooosh—

The black flame vortex raging like a wild horse lashes out roughly like some demon’s touch. It looks tremendously powerful, but… Professor Joo stood calmly at its center with arms crossed.

‘This is also level 99 though…’

As expected, this person is scary.

After the vortex disappeared, as if he’d received a massage, he rolled his neck left and right as if his stiff body was loosened. But this time there was feedback.

“Your visualization and manifestation are quite good.”

“Isn’t it because it’s a unique skill?”

“Even with unique skills, immediately applying area-of-effect is rare. Only about two out of 100 are capable.”

Even when I run the copy machine, without inherent sensations I can’t manifest skills to this extent. Meaning my previous life’s racing game sensations helped.

‘Using it like this?’

As expected, in life everything comes down to experience.

Would there be any other information?

I decided to seriously engage in extracting free information.

“Anything else?”

“Between an ordinary professor and student, there’s no obligation to convey it.”

…Stingy!

If you act like this, this side has no choice either.

“Professor Ban just lent me the mana expansion room… My mana stat even increased from it… In just one day.”

“……”

It turned into a whining appearance. Unlike Professor Ban who seemed manageable, Professor Joo has too much overwhelming presence.

Still, it was effective.

After Professor Joo’s eyebrows twitched briefly, he opened his mouth.

“At this level, there’s high probability area-of-effect will immediately apply to other skills too. Try applying that sensation you just felt to general skills.”

“Yes!”

As expected, another free technique drops.

Auction strategy is the best!

I gathered my motivation and obediently waited for the next explanation, but Professor Joo just kept staring at me.

“Why aren’t you doing it?”

“I don’t know how though?”

“Just do it.”

“……”

My copy machine activates with just a button press. Meanwhile, general skills require handcrafting complex magic circles with invisible ink. Being told to combine the two and try immediately makes absolutely no sense from my perspective.

When I just kept blinking both eyes, Professor Joo opened his mouth again.

“First complete the skill formula and gather it in your hand.”

“……”

“You can’t even do that?”

“The class progress hasn’t reached there yet though?”

“……”

“……”

Professor Joo has a ‘how can you not even do that’ face, and I probably have a ‘how am I supposed to do this’ face. After confronting each other like that, Professor Joo spoke first.

“Just try it.”

So I tried.

As expected, it doesn’t work.

“Try again.”

“It’s not working…”

“It works if you try.”

“……”

“Why isn’t this working? Try again.”

This guy doesn’t explain at all. That’s why geniuses are troublesome. They can’t explain anything besides ‘it just works though?’

Still, after 38 attempts, the general skill formula finally did get contained in my hand.

‘It’s contained, right?’

I feel slime, but since I can’t see it, I don’t know.

Since Professor Joo says so, I’m just going along with it.

“Now try area-of-effect.”

“……”

“What’s wrong.”

Sir, you said even with unique skills only the top 2-3% can do that. I only rebutted in my mind, but Professor Joo exhaled a long sigh.

“Haah… I’ll help, so try it.”

This time he didn’t just talk.

The moment Professor Joo placed his hand on my shoulder,

Whiiiiing—

The entire world turned pitch black.

Professor Joo has an ability to control space. Probably used that.

I can’t see the professor, but I can hear his voice.

“I’ve excluded all elements except mana. Look at the energy in your hand.”

In my hand, something like a pure white orb is clustered.

Since it’s visible, it’s definitely helpful.

If something this good existed, you should’ve done it from the start.

“Now try area-of-effect.”

I thought of this white orb as a Dark Orb and tried dropping it on the ground. But this doesn’t roll by itself. So I concentrated and begged it to go forward, go forward.

“Oh?”

“Is there movement?”

“It’s rolling!”

Once it rolls forward little by little, the rest is easy.

Because I’ve done this many times!

I just need to gradually accelerate the orb.

Roooooll—

As expected, speed picks up.

So that’s why you told me to apply the same thing to general skills?

Moving an invisible orb is hard, but if I can just see it, I can manage somehow.

Being careful about the turning sections, running excitedly like I usually do…

“Whoa whoa whoa? I think it’s working!!!!”

The pitch-black space gradually gets painted white. Unlike our Juwan’s clean lines, these are crooked lines, but the dark space is gradually brightening.

“Wow!!! Professor! This is success, right?”

“……”

No answer.

I can’t see Professor Joo in the darkness.

Since there are no separate instructions, I just focused on rolling the white orb recklessly.

Actually, there’s nothing else to do anyway.

Because it’s the Room of Time and Space.

I heard Professor Joo’s voice much later.

“As expected… different.”

The moment the words ended, my vision returned.

Sudden scene transition.

It’s the training ground scenery.

“Professor?”

Professor Joo was still standing in the same posture as when he received the <Dark Orb Racing> massage. Arms crossed with eyes wide open, but no words.

“Um… did I do something wrong? It seemed like success though…”

“……”

But still no words.

I obediently waited.

Still no words.

For a moment, an ominous premonition flashed through me.

The general skill I just ran Racing on… was <Incapacitation> skill. The one that knocked out Professor Ban, who claims to be past Rank 10.

‘No way, right?’

Professor Joo wasn’t self-proclaimed but genuinely Rank 3. A monster who treats even Yeom Juwan’s level 99 Flame Spear like a fly. He ranks near the top in combat power in this worldview.

‘He discovered something and is being stingy about hiding it again.’

I decided to think that way and nodded, when Professor Joo’s voice came.

“Yeon Sora.”

“Yes, Professor?”

“Resurrec…”

Thud—

Professor Joo toppled forward in his arms-crossed posture.

No movement.

No way, right?

But even after 1 minute passed, there was still no movement.

Only then did I recognize the seriousness of the situation.

“Professor!!!!!!”
