Eyes that see the bright dawn.

My eyes lit up at the Black Heavenly Demon Sword's words.

That's because one of the reasons why I thought Black Divine Martial Art was the most powerful martial vein had appeared.

The Heavenly Demon said,

[The Body Against Heaven is a power that's not welcome in this world. The previous owner had to face severe hardships until they reached a position of power. They thought they wouldn't leave such a thing for the next. The previous owner wanted to tell this to the future owner.]

The Heavenly Demon turned to me and said,

[Your life as you know it, ended when you met the Black Heavenly Demon Sword.]

"......"

I felt a bit shy hearing this.

[Well, since you got the Body Against Heaven through foresight, its light is a bit dim.]

The Heavenly Demon looked at me.

[When you awaken the Divine Vision, you'll see a different world than before.]

"But how do I learn this Divine Vision?"

[Pour the energy of the Body Against Heaven into your body. It's about viewing the world through the Black Crystal in your body.]

I gave a wry smile at the explanation the Black Heavenly Demon Sword was giving.

'That's too vague.'

[Hmm, you don't get it with this, do you?]

'Can I get it with this?'

[The previous owner got it with this.]

'......'

[Well, it's a joke. Understand slowly. The Black Crystal and the Black Divine Martial Art are martial arts that the previous owner honed over decades. They're made to be easy for newcomers to grasp.]

[Easily. And as your realm rises, you'll see higher places. It's a martial art.]

The Heavenly Demon said that, looking at me.

[And I am a being that will give you the power to face trials to the one who will someday hold the Black Heavenly Demon Sword.]

The Heavenly Demon said so, patting the Black Heavenly Demon Sword.

[We're done now.]

[Master, grab me first.]

I held the Black Heavenly Demon Sword with a puzzled expression.

[And pour all the energy of the Body Against Heaven that you have into it.]

At the Heavenly Demon's words, I poured the Body Against Heaven into it.

The red line in the center of the black sword spirit let out a brilliant light.

It felt like something had been unlocked.

Appraisal.

Black Heavenly Demon Sword(S)

The divine sword used by the Heavenly Demon.

A sword made from black iron and millennium stone. It has the greatest strength and hardness.

It's said that a soul lives in the sword.

......A new skill has been unlocked.

[Spirit Reading has been temporarily unlocked.]

"Spirit Reading?"

[Spirit Reading (). Literally, it means to read souls. But this only applies to the Black Heavenly Demon Sword. It's a skill made to share wisdom with future generations, and to safeguard the bodies of those to come. But, right now, the seal is briefly lifted, so you can only use it once.]

"......"

The hand of the Black Heavenly Demon Sword touched my forehead.

Then, something like wisdom flowed into my head and got etched in.

Divine Vision, how to make a heavenly body, how to manage the energy of the Body Against Heaven, and how the Black Heavenly Demon Sword was built.

All sorts of wisdom got etched in my head.

It seems that I got a bit of an understanding about this Divine Vision that the Black Heavenly Demon Sword mentioned.

Divine Vision.

This ability called Divine Vision is quite fascinating. The view gets narrower, but it was like the information etched in the martial vein.

...Status window.

[Name: Lee Seoha]

Strength: 9, Agility: 11(8+3)

Stamina: 15, Talent: 9, Conceptual Stat (Spirit Against Heaven): 10

Talents

-Talent Reading(-)Incomprehensible Talent(A-) Nimble Hands(B+)

Skills

-Black Divine Martial Arts(?)Divine Vision(S)Altun's Vision Alchemy(B)Icarus's Advanced Spirit Control (C)Black Island Sword Method(D)

Physique

-Body Against Heaven(S-)

Various things have improved in my status window.

In particular, Stamina stands out in the stats window.

'...It's expected.'

Stamina is essential to boost other attributes.

Whatever it is, Stamina is necessary to carry out the act of raising attributes.

It's like a kind of hidden gem.

I looked at the Divine Vision in the skills section.

The grade judged by the system is S rank.

Leaving out the Black Divine Martial Art and Talent Reading that doesn't have a grade, it has the highest rank I own.

'Usually, it should have been judged A rank...'

But I received an S rank, possibly due to the power of the Body Against Heaven.

'Good luck indeed.'

The midterm assessment had started.

In the end, there wasn't much to gain. The Mines were calm, and there was nothing strange in the dungeon.

'So, that's what makes me more anxious.'

The Mines shouldn't be this calm. But time passed, and the first week of written exams began.

Before the exam started, it was self-study time.

I was teaching Seo Gayeon some problems.

"Ah, so that's why the result value was strange."

"Yes. That's why you should be careful next time."

"Seoha, you really know your alchemy. Thanks to you, I moved up to silver this time."

Seo Gayeon laughed and said.

'She indeed has some talent.'

Seo Gayeon is the Star Mage.

She mainly learns alchemy and magic, which is the best path for her growth.

But her grades are a bit unusual now.

If she's saying silver, that's a number just under 10,000 in the Alchemy Guild.

It would make sense if she had been learning alchemy from the start, but for Seo Gayeon, it's only been a month.

Well, what's good is good.

After sending Seo Gayeon back, I let out a relaxed yawn and listened closely.

Usually, there should be many people studying, but today it's a bit noisy.

"Did you hear? The alchemy professor was attacked while passing by at night."

"What? Who did it?"

"I don't know. The school security has been heavily reinforced because of it. We probably can't go out on the weekend."

"Ugh."

...It can't be, can it?

I thought of Seol Hwaryeon, who looked at me and called me an old man.

She warned me, but that wasn't to attack the Mine's neck.

"Alright, everyone focus. From 9 o'clock sharp, we'll start the written part of the midterm assessment. You can cheat, but if you get caught, you'll be expelled immediately. So, only those who are prepared for that, or those who are confident they won't get caught, should do it."

For a moment, the professor's eyes were on me.

I felt a little embarrassed. Cheating with Talent Reading to solve the exam is no different from cheating.

"Then, we will start the assessment."

enjoy! :)
