I Became an Academy Overpowered Dual Swordsman

158 – The back side of the moon

Da-eun must have been the daughter of the family that taught darkness to Amryong. She also seems to know a little about the legend of the dark side of the moon.

“Da-eun. Please help us.”

“Idoga SS! Mom, I didn’t know! Did everyone else know?”

“Right. I guess I’m telling you the latest.”

“No. Thank you for telling me now. It’s amazing that the legend was true and that I learned such a great secret…”

“I was wondering when you were going to tell Da-eun, but isn’t it too late to tell you?”

Our Da-eun? It seems like you’ve become quite close with the principal. Meanwhile, Lene pointed to the moon with her finger and said.

“The total solar eclipse is about to end. Let’s quickly enter the portal. Hehe… I wonder what’s on the far side of the moon. The hand of the moon?”

It was said that on the far side of the moon live the moon demons, who are one level higher than the demons. When I told her that, Da-eun nodded her head, saying that was true.

-A monster… I want to try eating it.

-You’re going to eat aliens? I think I’m going to get a stomachache…

All preparations were complete. I entered the black and white portal.

[Hell’s Magical Realm – You have entered the dark side of the moon!]

What? Hell magic? Did that drunk guy turn into a magic magician again?

I opened my eyes and looked around. It was really the universe. I was really standing on the moon. I thought I had done all sorts of weird things. I never thought I would end up on the far side of the moon.

Meanwhile, Da-eun lifted the staff and cast a spell on everyone.

[Song Da-eun (Lee) wants to cast breathing magic and space survival magic. Would you like to accept it?]

As I nodded, I was able to breathe comfortably even on the moon.

“Thank you, Da-eun.”

Then Da-eun starts saying something using hand signals, as if she learned it somewhere. Oh, right. They say you can’t hear sound in space. Like there’s no air to transmit sound. I don’t know the details.

This is a world where magic is in full swing. Should I communicate with telepathy? No. If I were to use telepathy, it would be hard to tell who is who, so I used noise detection magic to detect sounds.

“Thank you, Da-eun.”

“This guy is smart… Using noise detection magic, he was able to communicate smoothly in this universe.”

“It’s amazing that you were able to use breathing magic to breathe in space.”

“It’s not that great, it’s just an application of what I learned in the advanced magic class last time…”

She twists her body as if embarrassed by the compliment. Learning breathing magic? Amazing! As I watch Da-eun apply it and make it eat up the universe, I feel like something is not working out.

“It feels like I’ve brought the students here for a field trip. By the way. You guys, do you know that the gravity on the moon is different from that on the Earth, so it’s uncomfortable? I’ll cast a spell on you for that.”

Preparations for exploring the far side of the moon are complete with the headmaster casting a gravity control spell.

“Do you know any more legends about the dark side of the moon?”

“The moon guide appeared and said he would give me a test.”

“It’s simpler than I thought.”

All I had to do was go find that guide. But then Linne came up to me and whispered.

“You have to be careful. They say there’s a giant rabbit living on the far side of the moon…”

“yes?”

Speaking of the rabbit on the moon. When Rene heard that story, she burst out laughing.

“Where’s the rabbit on the moon? What if you, a dragon, believe in human legends?”

“Oh, no?! But I definitely heard it when I was little. They say there’s a rabbit that lives on the moon and makes rice cakes.”

-Rice cake? It looks delicious.

Do dragons also have human legends? What a strange town. Anyway, since it’s a place where it wouldn’t be strange for rabbits to appear, I decided to explore while being extremely nervous.

In the midst of all this, I heard a strange telepathy and stopped walking.

-Welcome to this place, you who possess imperfect chaos. Have you come to take the test of the moon? But turn back. This place can no longer serve its purpose. Instead, it will only take your life…

“What does that mean?”

Well, actually, it was as expected. Telepathy seemed to notice our voices and the answer came back right away.

-The first chaos possessor killed all the moon monsters and placed the chaos monsters he created in order to prevent another chaos possessor from being born.

I knew it.

“Don’t worry, I already know everything.”

Then the strange telepath answered again in a worried voice.

-You shouldn’t make fun of a monster of utter chaos… If only I had just a little more time left…

If only there was more time left? Come to think of it, this telepathy is slowly draining my life force.

“Where are you now?”

-I’m already preparing for the end after being attacked by the chaos monster…

“So where are you?”

-…

The strange telepathy paused for a moment, and a notification message appeared in my head asking if I wanted to accept the information. I nodded, and the coordinates for the far side of the moon came in.

-I’m here… Come find me. I’ll send you back to Earth…

“There’s no need for that. Let’s go.”

But when I looked at everyone, they were all looking at me with strange faces.

“Did you just have a smooth conversation with an alien being, Mr. Ido?”

“I’m talking to a dragon, but I feel like…”

Da-eun suddenly came up to me and started talking about the occult and mysteries. I almost asked her what she meant, but I held back and listened.

“You do that often, so you’re good at talking to monsters?! I want to talk to the Moon Guide too.”

“Haha. Okay. Let’s go.”

The coordinates weren’t too far from here. Upon arrival, I saw something bleeding black blood… What should I call it? A gray snail? It was about the size of the pillow I sleep on.

“Ido-nim! The rabbit I told you about has appeared.”

“Lynne, you. Don’t you know what a rabbit is?”

“Wow… The Moon Guide really existed. It’s an honor to meet you.”

However, it was not a situation where we could exchange greetings leisurely. He was spitting out black blood as if he would suffocate at any moment.

-I still have the strength to open a portal. Run away… if the chaos monster catches you…

Sorry, but I have no intention of leaving this place until I fully master chaos.

“Goddess. The light of purification and healing. Will it work on extraterrestrial life?”

-Oh, maybe? I’ve never tried it, but…

Flash!

The light enveloped the guide. Fortunately, through it, he gradually recovered.

-…I didn’t know such a warm light existed.

“It’s the light of the Goddess of Light, Lucia. Have you heard of it?”

-I’m sorry, but I don’t know anything about Earth…

Ah, I see. Meanwhile, as the situation stabilized, Da-eun came to us with a very excited face.

“Hey, Moon Guide! Can I ask you a few questions? I’ll just do it! By any chance, how do you survive on the moon?”

-Absorbs the magic power of the universe and converts it into my own magic power.

“It’s just like how plants photosynthesize. Raven! Did you record it? Oh. It’s telepathy so I can’t record it.”

“Don’t you usually ask for the name first?”

“Oh. I see. What is your name?”

-I am not the guide of the moon, Ikril… You must run away quickly…

The principal, Lene, and Linne also approached with interest.

“Don’t worry. Our student SS is strong. There’s no need to run away.”

“That’s right. You’re the magician who saved me by using the Holy Sword even when I went berserk. What happened here? Explain in more detail, Moon Guide.”

And then Linne hesitated and asked this question.

“Are you by any chance Mr. Daltokki?”

-rabbit?

“Is it the rabbit on the moon…”

At that very moment, I felt an ominous aura and turned my head. The chaos monster I mentioned earlier appeared, moving in the shadow of the moon.

[(Unknown rank) Chaos Golem has appeared!]

-Ugh. What I was worried about happened… It wasn’t when I was muttering…

“How do I take that kid down?”

-Chaos is only chaos. However, there is no way to overcome complete chaos with incomplete chaos… No, there is one.

“what?”

– The most difficult thing is to swallow up complete chaos with imperfect chaos. In that way, you can turn imperfect chaos into complete chaos without passing the Moon Trial. However, that is nearly impossible.

“Swallow it… That’s good. There’s a predator expert here.”

-Predation expert?

I drew my two swords and looked at the giant chaos monster.

-I should introduce her as the Queen of Predation.

“I don’t think you’ll understand. What do you think? Can you eat it?”

-What an obvious thing to say.

Let’s look at it with the eyes of the sky. Its outer surface is covered in chaos, where light and darkness coexist. So, to remove that wrapping, we have to attack with an imperfect chaos that lasts about 2 seconds.

First, let’s calmly induce the guy to become groggy.

Kuuung!!

At that moment, the shadow hardened and a huge meteor-like fist flew towards me.

Since it’s only about 2 seconds, let’s split it into two 1-second bursts. First, surround the chaos and then flick the arm away.

“Goddess, I will grant you chaos. Do not panic.”

-Yep. I absolutely will not do that! It feels so weird.

Chaeyoung!!!

[Steel Paring has been activated!!!]

Even though it is a chaos monster, it is naturally groggy and is hesitating. Right now.

“Nemesis! I will grant you chaos. Do not be alarmed.”

-Yeah. Haha, my body feels a little hot, I guess I’m drunk.

-Hehehe, my head is spinning.

So that’s what the goddess is doing now.

“Miss Linne, I’d like an updraft, please!”

“yes.”

-The chaos monster is staggering as if it has lost its strength… What the heck!

It’s too early to be surprised by that. The chaos monster jumped high and stabbed the core with Nemesis’ curse. Chaos accumulated in the black island as if it was being sucked in.

“Nemesis, are you okay?”

-Ugh… This is the worst thing I’ve ever eaten.

“So it’s okay?”

-Please wait, it’s digesting.

A notification window arrived a while later.

[Nemesis devours chaos, increasing the duration of Incomplete Chaos.]

[2 seconds -＞ 4 seconds.]

Okay. I’ll just keep eating them one by one.
