Chapter 63: The Unseen (2)
5Vzcq9tYirukiKcZCpQ
fVlObsession and joy close to madness.RKOve
vhdShirone felt chills.QfvygKo
5NcEveryone had forgotten about sleeping for several days. They were all immersed in their work.SxADsMn
2cnqWhen calculated, their average time spent asleep daily seemed to be only about an hour and 40 minutes.RthYr0T
FCkfswyEven on days Shirone would study real hard, the amount of workload did not compare.psrJb
N5F2Strangely, however, he did not feel as tired as before. It was as if his pain had been numbed.0nKmhi
d29nprNormally, they forget work and act all lazy, but when they actually decide to set their mind on something, they get really hung up on it almost to the point that its scary.ukInfL
wCGta0Nade, are you tired right now?B2nw0
mWrNope, not at all. Actually, am I? I dont know. Im still up, so I guess not.znbNJiZ
sB1x7uMe too. Yiruki is working too, so lets make a script first. We have to decide what to write on the poster as well. It will take time to make and design these tiny things.RLFmN
H7aOh, should we? Then lets put up the poster first tomorrow.acoj
Xa3uWould that be okay though? We are not even at the stage of predicting the workload yet.RCD7
rKOWell have to take the risk. Its better to announce things as soon as possible. I dont want to make it obvious that were trying to hurry things up. Since were fighting a psychological war, shouldnt we take this into account?wIcp
uhrz8Youre right. Then Ill make whatever we have to write on the poster, you think about the design.FLoifH
3ZCThe two laid paper on the table and started making their poster.cmme
109It was late at night, but their minds were still clear.1OwQT

QVHNGbThe next day.4GFZW
APKR1eTowards the end of lunch time, a poster for a presentation of the Supernatural Psychic Science Research Group was posted on the notice board.3IB4E
sUVCpMZMost of the students were puzzled.zBrt
UPEB5Even the name of the research group was unfamiliar to them because the group had not engaged in official activities.rKI1
3xPJJAIn particular, the poster was so absurd it made them laugh.Ph08jJ
3uXIn the poster was a picture of the magic academy that was altered so that it looked dark and gloomy. It looked like a circus poster.IqJ0r
tKxNWSupernatural Psychic Science Research Groups Surprise Presentation!9Uj9bL
ddindRShocking revelation! Those who wish to know of the secrets of the soul, gather at the 7th Lecture Hall.PgjR
PBI1bPsychic Science? What is that? Are they talking about stuff like ghosts?cdt4j
Fh8AAI guess they really have nothing to do. Who the heck are these stupid kids in this research group?yweGGw
zx9uMA girl pointed to the bottom of the poster.pSQPyP
uTT28EHey guys, look at this.FbNvnYY
TQprCThe students who confirmed the list of members of the Supernatural Psychic Science Research Group were shocked to the core.KwP
pLcPjhZIts our upperclassman, Shirone! How did this happen?! Is there someone with the same name in the academy?!1fnCEmY
rYaZPBAs if. Its really our upperclassman Shirone. Theres also our other upperclassmen Yiruki and Nade.SULJe
BJnXBut thats it? Just three? Are they doing this for the performance evaluation? Even so, this is too much.Epti
d6G3While one half of the students were still in a doubt, the other half simply found it funny.JMx
cT8fmWhen is the presentation? Should we give it a go?YC5
0uqBecause its Senior Shirone, Im curious.. Are they really going to reveal the secrets of the soul?61G
6ZDlCAhKekeke! Well know when we get there. Anyway, it sounds fun.UhcCp
SK69mFKEither way, the students didnt take it seriously. To them, it was like going to a theatrical performance rather than an academic performance.5Ts
qLXOn the other hand, those working in the dark, similar to the Supernatural Psychic Science Research Group, viewed the situation seriously.6bp3
SINY3piThey gathered away from the public eyes and whispered.QUO37x
D4tc1D– How did this happen? A presentation from the Supernatural Psychic Science Research Group?ot4y5
zWMN– According to our spy, it seems that Ms. Siena and they were at odds with each other. They must be going toe-to-toe with each other, but can they really do anything? Theyre not the previous Super Psychic Group that we knew of. The glory days are over.jmcf
A89Tlq2– We cant be certain. Yiruki is a savant and Nades skills shouldnt be taken lightly, either. Shirone, the new member, was also the reason Black Magician disbanded. I dont think its gonna end this easily.4MpeD
ZOW– Kekeke, Black Magician. They were just low-class kids. Anyway, lets wait and see. If the Supernatural Psychic Science Research Group disappears, there will be an all-out war in regards to the second owner of Estas.5Nzx0
sanngEs– It wont be easy. The Female Body Research Group has been eyeing it for a long time. The economic research group Golden Wheel is also preparing to open the black market. Must be a good opportunity to make a killing.qrr9dj8
ary85L– Hmph, our Doll Collection Research Group isnt so bad, either. I swear on my lovely Poco. Estas upper level is ours.wjT
c08The upper level of Estas.p2l
LYPcXPOTheir eyes gleamed as they recalled the secret place that was only talked about in legends.N9gJ
8CNUkThose who knew the Supernatural Psychic Science Research Group and those who did not know of it all had different stories, but everyone expected the presentation to be an absolute success.7CcBP
Jgbix4UAs for the party that was actually preparing for the presentation, they had no time to pay attention to miscellaneous things.AMv
3SFMOnly one thought kept bothering them.QhXCnv
mMMn3kWhy was there only 24 hours in a day?Uyt2bE
58Ad4jIf each day was about 200 hours long, or at least 48 hours long, they could achieve better results.TGW
t4X20POf course, they werent stupid enough to waste time on such delusions, so they split the load so they could work as effectively as possible.6nNP37
UA02lrNade, who succeeded in developing the prototype of the hologram device, held a demonstration in front of Shirone and Yiruki.Eupgjbh
F7fOIt was a hemispherical lens made of glass. Output terminals extended in all directions and were connected to an auxiliary device.bYYUf
eyeuyDWhile Yiruki was busy setting up the program, Shirone fiddled with the crystal marble on the optical fiber.VNw
ZS7Nade spoke.mkordlp
iidGn7AEverythings set. Shirone, lets start.n8ET
iaxTzWill it be okay? I havent perfected my Photon Output yet.3kB
V1dyIts the same for us. We need to test it first so that we can find out what we need to improve.6Z9AV
4dg1G12Okay.jUb
FJEWith a crystal ball in each hand, Shirone gave everything he had.GZS3
pfnspfhElectricity was being generated inside the hemispherical lens, and a translucent human figure made its appearance.gpOMq
Warbvql* * *d3L
8NQpUD* * *2EX
xHEAlthough the figure was not completely human-looking due to the limits of the technology and electricity, Nade thought this inaccurate depiction was actually better. This was because students imagination of ghosts would be something like this.GPguMmQ
y4pkSo this is a hologram.Spklv
OXRty6The ghost was a soldier in ancient armor. Its face was dirty, and its bones could be seen in places the armor did not cover.YlP
e8XFirst of all, the frame looks okay. Yiruki, its your turn.Qc2
F9vQYiruki activated the controller.1fjX
0cUThere were only eight buttons, but since combination was possible, various patterns could be expressed. Each time a button was pressed, the soldiers hologram performed various actions.y85
G8sYiruki watched the soldier walk about the room with a satisfied expression.xJraPAr
XwT8CfFirst, there is no problem with the program. We can continue like this. All thats left is Shirone. Are you really going to be okay? On the day of the presentation, the number of devices will increase dramatically.3Bix
g8rX8Shirone, who tried it himself, was also worried.KHhn
1PQPower generation was covered with Nades electricity, but the problem was transmitting information. Operating even a single hologram device tired Shirone out.crK2
tjNalDWIll do my best. Still, my retention time is increasing, so there is still hope. Now, Nade will be mass producing, right? And are you done, Yiruki?2uiP3
vfsNo, I also have a lot of things to improve on. If I take psychological changes into consideration, it would take a year to analyze. Still Considering our simpler goal, I should be able to make it on time.qSX7f
dH0RANade nodded his head.3SRHa
jsqOkay, great. Sadly, we have no time for rehearsals. So with the time we have left, lets continue focusing on our respective duties.XK5MCoO
1B8GbIn order to reinforce his mind, Shirone thought of many possible solutions. But eventually, Shirone came to a definitive conclusion.weM
nLvPush my mind to the limit.EBgP
zxnPhysical training focused on damaging pre-existing muscle fibers in order to make them stronger. If someone were to take only a few hours of rest like Shirone, their body would break within a month.5UXR80
PFAHowever, the mind differed from the body. It had the elasticity to withstand high stress.Epv1
3SsTeqTFor Shirone, whose mental strength was extremely strong already, there was no greater way than this.81zAG
0j4jI can do it.Oq3hY
ecjPushing his mind to the brink of destruction. It was the only solution to reach their impossible goal.wO7Q
ARxmMore! I have to beat my mind more!qoHV5
lWAq3NThe size of the light source reflected on the wall was gradually getting bigger.0mljx

EbCYgeThe day before the presentation.813
ssQD1The storeroom where Shirone was training was bathed in blinding light from photon output.zzpg9n
o1VPB5Shirone had his eyes tightly closed. Blood was dripping from Shirones lips.agE
P0FpnLHe tried to hold out, but his body swayed left and right. His two legs wobbled, struggling to hold up the weight.RneieFS
6I8If he kept on going like this, he could go crazy.1aIVBX
0wOTEUK AARGHHHHr8vGosF
RfQWShirone poured out the tiny amount of mental energy he had left.59pqk
8C1The next moment, the flash disappeared.WieK8
K68Z9NWTHUD!1KXo
ul3Q5aiHEUK! HEUK!rwP7M
B4Pq8Shirone was gasping for air, but he still had to check his record. Shirone crawled on his knees to press the button on the watch.LTGUwM
z70Y10 minutes and 32 seconds.YB8JqPX
dwGBK4HaaahsASSD7k
exrA0SHe successfully maintained Photon Output for more than 10 minutes.lFVFyD
K2qHis Spirit Zone had rapidly grown in strength, and the power behind his specialty magic also exceeded the level of Class 5.1O0EwFz
GYiKBThe iron door opened, and Nade, who Shirone had not seen for days, came in.pvLw
niUConsidering he had to walk around the academy in an invisibility cloak, his complexion was much worse than before.0AP
0vQDuIts midnight, Shirone. Lets do a rehearsal.eic
UX8Nade knew how high Shirone set his goal, so he purposely did not ask for results.tlj65n
CzCLThen Shirone, who was breathing hard, threw the watch at him.9sLJTuP
7tZkXunNades eyes widened after seeing the recorded time.eifJX
wzyMYou Did you really make it?CUYTFZ
tkbMHShirone held a thumbs up and gave a tired smile.O1bJl9c

ZYeC7th Lecture Hall, Alpheas Magic Academy.eG5CrE
bnB6The presentation was at 5 PM, but many students were already gathered in front of the lecture hall.Yev
haRdAs rumors spread and more continued to be produced, the presentation caught many peoples attention.hAl8f
HcyVSharelle admired the line.dpn
wjyV58Wow, there are a lot of people. Its also my first time hearing of the Supernatural Psychic Science Research Group, but as expected, celebrities are different.xPvEena
c0Oy0Sharelle was promoted to the Advanced class after the Speed gun, so she didnt have the chance to hear about the research group.IJrE0
wTiAmy found it unexpected, too.e1tHA2a
YLkZpIt was amazing that a research group with only three members from Class 5 could attract so many people.S1nPkJ
d1eXMThey did create a lot of ruckus. Anyways, it seems like their performance is a success.A1jU
dcMfVI didnt think Shirone and Yiruki would become friends. They were at each other’s throat, yet now they cant even live without each other.oB3L
lYEWhile the two stood in line, students from the Intermediate classes murmured amongst themselves.6zs8v
BVyCkGSStudents from the Advanced classes had come to visit.GXWo
XLNODsYJust looking at the Class 3 badge on their collar alone was awe-inspiring.wrB75
tzQrLWow, its Senior Amy. Even the Advanced class is going to attend this lame presentation?vbgP2lF
hpjVa1DYou idiot, she is Senior Shirones girlfriend. And Senior Sharelle always hangs with Senior Amy. Theyve been like that even since their time in the Intermediate Classes.SXjOOQ5
HQwMHAWell yeah, but What about the seniors over there?GclHq
DCfmz7DThe Students eyes gathered toward the place someone pointed to.75lwINx
fc2lAmy and Sharelle also looked back and was surprised.xQuuu
IRgH4naOh my? Amy, look there. Kaden is here.Fs6YE
xDMa6RKKaden from Class 2 had his hands inside his pocket.z4AbkO
OUpYAround him were a number of talented people from Class 2 who were well known. amongst them were Richard of Alchemy, Electric Monster Lycon, Hershey of Sonar, and so on.2NWro
