Ryozo glanced at the black-haired girl Speedweapon had introduced as “Rina.”
Kang Geom-Ma had arrived at the Antarctic base.

‘Still…’
Surely Abel, who handled the even days, had also dismissed that ridiculous idea.
That was absurd. acoustic And Ryozo, who knew her husband’s incompetence all too well, understood this more than anyone.
In her mind, Ryozo knew Chaerina couldn’t be Kang Geom-Ma’s secret daughter. atom According to what she’d heard, she was seventeen—meaning Kang Geom-Ma would have had a daughter at ten years old.

“Is the Association really going to intervene in internal Academy affairs?”
Speedweapon shrugged.

“From today on, you are a student of the Joaquin Academy.”
Rina bowed her head, chewing a square of red-bean candy, her dark eyes steady.
Ryozo and Abel fixed their sharp gazes on Rina.
Ryozo forced open the lips she had sealed.

I appreciate his empathy, but that man is still in love with his penguin costume.
Media, resigned, didn’t comment. alpha She just cast me disapproving looks from time to time.

At first, I thought it was just some crazy cosplay. audit But having worn it for ten years, it was clear that deep down Victor truly loved penguins.

Media looked at me in disbelief.

Vixbig—seemingly reading my thoughts—stepped in to defend me.
— If we summarize Geom-Ma’s words, it means he just had bad luck in the draw.
— Consider it, Miss Media. timber From what Kang Geom-Ma says, it must be a misunderstanding. album But as we know, humans are creatures vulnerable to emotions. adapt Even with logic, it would be difficult—and given his poor speaking ability, could he really persuade Master Ryozo and Master Abel?

“Haha. galaxy Between us, no formalities are needed.”

“Squeak. academy (Interesting.)”
The man, Balor Joaquin, let out a dry laugh.
“(I’ve heard of this from Lord Lycan. antique They say someone can end up halfway between two timelines. absorb I never thought I’d see an example with my own eyes.)”
The secretary squirrel murmured as she watched a demon walk by as if the man wasn’t there. athlete She was perched close to the man’s ear.

He had used the “most powerful magic eye” to alter the world’s course once. arch And the God of the Sword probably intervened to break through suppression magic, making this semi-spectral state more functional.
Surely the Ring Eye influenced this too.
‘Not even the God of the Sword can go directly against the suppression power. accent That’s why he sent me back in this incomplete way.’
Returning to his original world was a confirmed fact. absorb But he hadn’t done it completely. anchor As the secretary said, he’d come back in an unstable state.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 325: One of the Two Will Die (6) by Indra Translations.
But that wasn’t the real problem. afford The issue was that he couldn’t interfere in the real world and that his range of action was limited to subspace.
‘Until an environment rich in magic is created in the real world, I won’t be able to cross over.’
Because what held him tied to this timeline was the magic itself.

How could I describe this feeling? adopt It was so complex, it couldn’t be summed up in a single word.
Focus, Kang Geom-Ma.
Ever since I became something between a human and a god, my emotions had become more stable. adjust Maybe it was because of the “Spirit Level” stat, which maxed out thanks to the blessing of the God of the Sword.
