The Regressor Make Everything

52 episodes

All of the cadets who were studying the origins of martial arts had their own plans as well as personal interests.

I became close with Professor In-cheol Kim, who is one of the most supportive of Babel, and received a lot of support. It had almost the same goal as Sehun Lee was aiming for.

“What does this look like?”

“Well. It’s a bit ambiguous. It’s good to use modifiers to increase the purity, but I didn’t get any other advantages. I think we need to change the smelting method a bit.”

“You also think the same. If it were me, the ratio in the smelting process… … .”

However, the cadets who saw the scene in front of them, Lee Se-hun and Kim In-cheol, naturally exchanging stories while examining the numerous weapons, had no choice but to realize.

The opportunity they were aiming for was completely taken away by the head of the first-year department, who came in two weeks.

“Today’s class doesn’t end here. Whenever you have time, carefully observe and come to me when you feel you have figured it all out.”

When class is over, the cadets walk with their shoulders drooping. Lee Se-hoon, who looked at the back, made a funny expression.

“I think I unintentionally smashed my will… … Are you okay?”

“It’s okay. It’s not worth teaching if you’re going to break something like this.”

It was a resolute story that seemed a little cold, but Lee Se-hun nodded his head as if he sympathized with it.

“It is.”

Babel provides a way to those who want to walk, not a place to force them to walk.

I don’t know if the class is too difficult and the grass is dead. If your competitors give up because the grass is too good, you don’t need to read it extensively.

‘Anyway, with this, all competitors have disappeared.’

Now all that’s left is how to get the budget from Kim In-cheol. When Sehun Lee is turning his head to find a way.

“Are there any other classes after this?”

Kim In-cheol asked in a soft voice.

“no. This is the last class for today.”

“Well… … So can you give me some time? I have a suggestion for you.”

Seeing In-cheol Kim making a proposal with a serious expression, Se-hun Lee realized that the opportunity had come and nodded.

“Yes. it’s okay.”

“Then change places. Follow me.”

After leaving the classroom, Kim In-cheol headed to the parking lot behind the main building.

Because the artificial island where Babel was built was so large, many people had personal vehicles, but Kim In-cheol seemed to be one of those people.

‘Is it Babel? All are expensive cars… … ?’

While looking at the parking lot, Sehun Lee found a motorcycle parked in the corner and widened his eyes.

An engine with a huge tire size that is three times that of a normal bike and feels ferocious. There was also a body coated in red, but it was the materials that mattered.

‘V16 horsepower mixed engine that can move ships and the texture of the tires looks like basilisk leather… … Is the body alloy? It seems to be the minimum hero level… … .’

It is more expensive than all the cars in the parking lot put together if you look at the things you see.

Sehun Lee made an interesting expression when he saw the monster wearing a motorcycle mask.

‘Who rides that crazy thing?’

When Se-Hoon Lee, curious about who the owner is, is looking. Kim In-cheol, who was walking ahead, naturally opened the box on the back of the motorcycle and took out a red helmet.

“Wear it.”

“… … Was this your motorcycle?”

“Is that so?”

Seeing Kim In-cheol looking at him as if he was wondering what the problem was, Se-hun Lee made a strange expression.

“no. nothing… … .”

Apparently, Kim In-cheol was not as frugal as he thought. In the future, I decided to refer to the production of the seat, and Lee Se-hun wore a helmet and got on the back seat.

“In case you don’t know, I’ll use a protective device as well.”

Gugugung-

Kim In-cheol, who was riding in front, pressed the button on the steering wheel, and the engine shook, and red magic was thinly attached to Lee Se-hoon’s body.

Although it is disposable, the durability itself is comparable to any hero-grade armor. Lee Se-hoon, beyond admiration for the function, made an absurd expression.

“It’s a huge thing.”

“It’s something I’ve been using usefully before I became a professor. Treasure number two.”

“No. 2… … .”

So, what kind of thing is Treasure No. 1? Kim In-cheol put down his goggles and smiled as if he had read Se-hun Lee’s inner thoughts.

“I’ll show you the first one soon.”

Boo-woong!

At the same time as the engine blew out the exhaust, the motorcycle was shot out of the parking lot in an instant and started running smoothly on the road.

Contrary to the terrifying appearance and speed, a smooth ride that does not feel vibrations. Sehun Lee looked around at the motorcycle’s ability to naturally disperse shock.

‘I don’t think it’s even 30% of the original output… … If I drive it right outside, it’ll be over.’

Wouldn’t this be enough to just grind and pass through some monsters?

While examining the motorcycle’s performance, Sehun Lee suddenly realized that the surrounding landscape had changed.

‘Is this the outer zone?’

It was a place where cadets came out of the department where they were mainly active, and it was the area where Babel’s faculty and staff, as well as various companies and guilds dispatched from outside, stayed.

In fact, it was like an ordinary residential area, but Kim In-cheol stopped in front of the house located in the most corner of them.

“This is my home.”

A two-story detached house with a garden. It was a clean place with no major flaws, but Lee Se-hoon turned his eyes to the building next to him.

A building with a large chimney at the top. It was made of an alloy used in special buildings, but just looking at it, it looked like Kim In-cheol’s workshop.

“Did you purposely build it here because of the workshop?”

“The closer I got to the department, the more limited my personal research, so I had no choice but to come this far.”

“Ahh. It’s a bit risky if the professors are doing research.”

They installed their own protective devices, but once they make a mistake, they don’t know what’s going to happen.

Even if you were confident right away, didn’t you blow up some of the things you bought with the workshop with one minor mistake before returning?

‘I was wanted at that time, so it hurt my head… … .’

When Lee Se-hoon is immersed in memories while recalling old memories. Kim In-cheol, who parked his motorcycle in the garage, beckoned.

“Come this way.”

Kim In-cheol, who led Se-hoon Lee to the workshop, raised the shutter that had been closed with all his might.

👌👌👌👌👌

“Five… … .”

The studio is lit up brightly when two people enter.

The first thing that caught my eye was five braziers placed side by side on the wall, each with different flames swirling through the translucent lid that blocked the crater.

‘Is it a dedicated furnace that has been adjusted to suit the purpose? It would be quite expensive to maintain… … .’

In addition to that, various tools were neatly arranged on the shelf or wall, and there were quite a lot of various magical devices including a magic engine.

Contrary to its frugal and conservative appearance, it is a state-of-the-art workshop that seems to have been made with a lot of money. Seeing that, Se-hun Lee had a sense of what kind of person Kim In-cheol was.

‘Only in the field in which he is engaged, he is an open person.’

There is no hesitation in spending money or embracing technology.

Seeing that, Sehun Lee recognized the advantages and disadvantages at the same time.

‘If I do well, I will spread that much… … Or he’ll just use his own.’

It seems like you have to actively appeal to eat out of the budget.

While Lee Se-hoon looked around the studio, Kim In-cheol wore thick gloves and picked up tongs.

“Do you have fire resistance skills?”

“There is one C-class as a master of fire.”

“That would be difficult. Wear the protective suit hanging over there.”

Sehun Lee nodded and immediately picked up the protective suit hanging on the wall.

[Salamander’s Protective Suit]

[Rank: Hero] [Quality: Award]

A protective suit made by processing the leather of the fire elemental salamander.

You can control body temperature by consuming magic power, and you can generate magic by absorbing heat applied to the outside.

* Consumes magical power to regulate body temperature.

*Absorb heat to generate magic power. If damaged, it can be restored by heating.

*You can use the skill ‘Fire Control’.

‘Is it enough to wear something like this?’

In terms of skills, you must have at least an A level to be able to withstand it. Curious about what the treasure number 1 was, Lee Se-hoon went straight to Kim In-cheol wearing a protective suit.

“Don’t move there.”

After taking a deep breath, Kim In-cheol approached the largest brazier in the middle of the five furnaces and opened the lid that blocked the furnace.

Wow-!

As soon as the lid is opened, the hot air pouring out.

Even though the protective device installed in the workshop blocked it right away, seeing the trembling in all directions, not only the temperature but also the nature of the flame seemed unusual.

“Whew… … .”

Kim In-cheol, who approached the furnace in the face of such a craze, inserted the tongs in his hand and pulled out an object.

Whoops!

A sword that shines pure white with immense heat.

In the shape of a slightly curved curve, there was a large crack carved on the inside, and sparks flew out through it.

Whoa-!

The moisture in the workshop evaporated in an instant, and even the magic power boiled. Lee Se-hoon’s eyes narrowed at the sight that looked like a fragment of the sun.

‘That’s… … .’

It’s different from what he’s used to, but he’s quite familiar with it.

When Lee Se-hoon was searching through his memories in that sense of déjà vu. Kim In-cheol, who took out the sword, frowned and quickly moved it onto the anvil.

Koo!

As soon as the sword was raised, the anvil turned into a huge cage, and the magic circle mounted inside was activated in dozens of layers to completely trap the heat.

Kim In-cheol sighed as he put down his tongs and gestured to Lee Se-hoon, who was far away.

“Come this way. Just in case you don’t know, don’t take off your protective clothing.”

“All right.”

Se-hun Lee, who was wearing a protective suit, approached him and looked again at the sword that appeared to be Kim In-cheol’s treasure No.

A pure white sword that is stuffed in the air while surrounded by a black cage and dozens of layers of magic circles. Sehun Lee, who was looking at it, immediately looked at the information window.

[Broken Flame]

[Rating: Heroic] [Quality: Best]

A sword possessing fire attribute magic.

It was originally a completed Tao, but the source was destroyed and all functions were lost, and even one’s own passion could not be embraced.

If all the heat stored inside the blade is released, it is permanently destroyed.

*Permanently destroyed when all heat is consumed.

*Currently charged heat: 89%.

“her… … .”

Even though the source has been destroyed and all functions have been lost, it is the best in the hero grade. In other words, it meant that in normal condition, it was a legendary-grade weapon.

‘I never thought I’d see something like this so early… … .’

As Se-hun Lee looked at him with an interesting expression, Kim In-cheol, standing next to him, opened his mouth slowly, looking at the broken flame.

“This is something I had before I came to barbell, but at first it was less than 10% hot. So I did everything I knew at the time to bring the heat up.”

However, the fundamental problem, the root, could not be repaired, so only the maintenance cost continued to come out, and Kim In-cheol’s property began to disappear in an instant.

“I was able to handle all the property except for the workshop and used the money I earned for maintenance, but I couldn’t afford it. So when I thought I should just give up… … The principal has come.”

I will subsidize the maintenance cost of the Broken Flame as a condition of becoming a professor at the Faculty of Refining. Ludwig’s proposal, which he could not refuse, Kim In-cheol immediately accepted and entered the artificial island of Babel.

At that explanation, Sehun Lee made an interesting expression.

“The reason the professor is studying the origins of arms is to fix this.”

“Actually, if I can repair the broken flame, I don’t care. I’m just researching because the head of the academy wants to achieve results in that direction… … .”

Seeing Kim In-cheol’s shy look, Lee Se-hun looked back at the broken flame.

The indiscriminately spewing heat distorted the surroundings, making it impossible to see the exterior properly, but Lee Se-hun was able to predict the shape at a glance.

A red sword and a pure white flame carved on it. Originally, the flame was supposed to be condensed in it, but as the source is destroyed, it continues to leak out.

“The fact that you showed me this means you want me to help you with your research.”

The advisor of the smelting department asks for help from the cadets who entered this year. It was a story that could be dismissed as a joke to anyone who heard it, but Kim In-cheol calmly nodded.

“That’s right. I’m embarrassed to say it myself, but… … I can’t seem to find a way to do it this way.”

In any field, if you work hard for a long time and become established, you have no choice but to realize it even if you don’t want it.

He has come this far, and no matter how hard he tries, he cannot reach this ideal. Kim In-cheol was facing a wall that was different from the limits he had crossed in the past while repairing the broken flame.

“So I wanted your help. You are the cadet I’ve ever seen… … No, because he has the most outstanding talent among all blacksmiths.”

Some will ignore or deny his limitations, but Kim In-cheol accepts it more meekly and decides to find a solution.

If you can’t help it with experience, find a genius who is better than you and ask for advice. And that subject is Lee Se-hoon, who surprised himself over and over again.

‘Hmm… … I like it.’

Seeing Kim In-cheol talking honestly without showing any pretense, Lee Se-hoon nodded with satisfaction.

“All right. It’s a rare opportunity to research a weapon like this. I would rather ask.”

“Really? thanks… … .”

“but.”

Se-hun Lee, who glanced at Kim In-cheol, continued.

“I think I will need various things to do research properly… … I think the budget I will receive this semester will be tight… … Hmmm.”

Sehun Lee, who pretends to be talking around, conveys exactly what he wants. Kim In-cheol looked blankly at that unreasonable appearance, and then smiled.

“Don’t make it too harsh.”

He is also a broad-minded person in his field.

After reconfirming what kind of person Kim In-cheol was, Lee Se-hoon smiled brightly and held out his hand, and Kim In-cheol grabbed her as well.

One of the best money chains in Babel. That was the moment I put a straw there.

* * *

“Research should be done once a week. The class is perfect anyway, so if you have an urgent need, you don’t have to come.”

“All right.”

“then.”

Boo-woong!

A motorcycle that emits a roar and disappears in the distance. In the blink of an eye, Kim In-cheol disappeared, and Lee Se-hoon looked at him curiously.

‘Today is a time for re-evaluation.’

In addition to the study of the origin of arms, I had to re-evaluate the character of Kim In-cheol itself.

‘Honestly, I thought it would be a bit difficult to eat off the budget.’

I thought it would be inflexible in this way because it looked so clumsy, but who would have told me to do it myself?

It was fun just imagining how it would be used in the future, but at the same time it hurts my head again.

‘Broken flames… … No matter how you look at it, it seems like a no-brainer.’

Five weapons with unique abilities in the field of ‘attributes’ among legend-grade weapons.

Collectively, it was called ‘The Five Elements of Arms’, and it was a very famous item among the heroes.

If a madman owns it, it blows up the city, and if an ordinary person possesses it, it is taken away by death. If they want to disappear again, they will appear out of nowhere and cause a strife.

‘It’s like all legend-grade weapons, but… … The five elements are especially worse.’

Great versatility that can greatly amplify the elemental magic of the same type and permanently increase affinity or dominance.

Because of that, thousands of people would just die if there was a scramble for that reason, but the broken flame that Kim In-cheol now owns, the ‘Hwacheon Taedo Fire 天太刀’, was also the same.

‘The last thing I saw before the regression… … It was a puppeteer.’

One of the Ten Evils, a magician who remodeled corpses and weapons to create automatic dolls.

The puppeteer who secured the Hwacheon attitude made it into an automatic doll named ‘Surut’, and as a result, more than 600 heroes, including S-class heroes, and 40,000 citizens were burned to death.

Because of the last self-destruction, a city literally evaporated without a trace.

‘I was subjugated first because of that, but… … If possible, it would be better not to have such a thing.’

If the existence of the Hwacheon attitude is known, there is a possibility that it will be targeted by the puppeteer as well as other guys.

I don’t know how he stole the Hwacheon attitude in Babel, Ludwig’s realm, but it would be good to prepare in advance.

‘If I didn’t know how to fix it, I wouldn’t have to worry so much… … .’

Unfortunately or fortunately, as soon as I saw how to fix Hwacheon’s attitude, I got a certain outline. But for that, there were a few necessary preparations… … .

woo woo-

A vibration that cuts off the thoughts that are going to continue. Sehun Lee took out his cell phone and read the message that had arrived.

[Subjugation practice we talked about earlier. I think it will be difficult if it is not this weekend. Do you have time? Please reply.] – Ryu Eun-ha

The subjugation practice I promised with Ryu Eun-ha before. After reading this, Sehun Lee thought for a moment and then sighed.

‘I don’t know whether to repair it or not, but let’s save it for now.’

If you miss this opportunity, you may not know when to save it. After making the decision, Sehun Lee sent a reply immediately.

[Let’s go right away.]
