Chapter 1735 – 1735. Savior of the Academy
It was right after the AI notification window popped up.
The world of virtual reality has begun to change.
The ground rises, rocks and trees overturn and reconstruct. The world itself began to change. It felt like going through the end of the world. Fortunately, Seongha-ri and I didn’t feel any wind.
However, Seong Ha-ri grabbed my shoulders with both hands, as the sight was so grand.
Nearby NPCs could not escape the aftermath of the reconstruction. The body breaks down Of course, no blood came out. Because what makes up an NPC is nothing but data, not blood. No matter how real it was, it was fake.
‘Players bleed when injured, but not NPCs.’
I was calmly thinking about this. I don’t know the details of what happened, but I’m sure it was fucked up. However, hadn’t Makina been summoned to reality in case of such a situation?
‘Machina. I can hear?’
-Why? What’s wrong? … For a moment. The speed of thought is so fast that it’s hard to keep up. Speak a little slower
‘I was trapped in a virtual reality world. I need to know what caused it.’
– Oh, really? That’s a big deal. I was supposed to play with the lady in a few days…. But you’re not asking me to find out the cause, right? I don’t know how to do that
There was a hint of annoyance in Makina’s voice. She didn’t seem to realize the seriousness of the situation yet.
‘How are things outside? Move around a bit and check it out. Doesn’t anyone play tricks in the capsule?’
-Yes. No. Be quiet.
‘Are you saying this accident wasn’t done on purpose to trap us?’
It took some time to figure out what was going on. If what AI says is true, the time difference between virtual reality and reality is 50 times. It took time to grasp the reality of the situation.
‘Fortunately, Machina seems to be following 50 times the speed of thinking… It must be different from moving her body.’
– Ugh. But how long will it last?
‘Tiring?’
-Yes. The situation is difficult right now. Your thinking speed is too fast. I don’t know if the mana flowing into me increases or if it turns into a special machine…. That’s impossible now
‘Why is that impossible? Take the mana from my body.’
Among the abilities I had, the highest was mana. What an A+ rank mana. Among the academy students, he is the highest peak, and even among active heroes, there are few who can follow him in terms of mana rank.
Lack of mana It was far from the word.
-You and Auntie’s mana continues to flow into the capsule. I did not know?
‘… I don’t know the real situation at all. I probably wouldn’t know if someone put a knife in my chest. That’s why I summoned you to reality.’
– It’s not my fault!
‘Know.’
Even with Makina, she couldn’t cope. I don’t mean to blame Makina. I couldn’t have predicted that the AI would lose its taste. I thought that if I were to use Caso Academy or whatever, I would use it on the capsule side. Because it is more efficient
– Now what?
‘Information gathering is a top priority. And watch them don’t mess with me and mom. If you’re going to do something….’
-If?
‘Kill me with the capsule. Don’t forget that breaking the capsule is important.’
Then the connection will be cut off, and you just have to resurrect in reality through full recovery.
-Yes! Okay!
Makina answered in a bright voice. I was a little puzzled. It’s an order to kill the owner. Do you like it?
‘… Done. Let’s pursue Makina later.’
First of all, we have to do what we have to do.
‘The reason this happened is probably because of us with a high probability. In other words, it is a trick to keep Susanoo’s magatama from being stolen. Can you say that?’
Fortunately, the verification code given by Tenrai Nagashi was still embedded in the back of his hand.
Search for Susanoo’s Magatama. I think about getting out of this virtual reality after that.
‘In any case, I can inform Nagisa Tenrai of the situation through Makina.’
Even as I rolled my head, the world continued to change. The opening of heaven and earth lasted for nearly five minutes and ended quietly.
‘The background was like a medieval fantasy… Something strangely modern.’
Medieval fantasy mixed with modernity. Like the building style or the outfits of the NPCs. It felt like the genre of the game changed in an instant, so I felt a little different.
‘Should I say that it suits her better with this school uniform?’
The reconstructed NPCs also feel like they have a sense of reality somewhere.
“Eugene! Look over there! There! Is that Korean right?!”
Seongha-ri made a fuss and pointed to a place. She did not seem to be aware of the seriousness of the situation. Either that or you’re deliberately acting bright because of me.
“… It’s really Korean.”
Seokgun’s bar. Hangeul was written on the signboard.
Originally, these signs were in Japanese. Therefore, Seong Ha-ri, who cannot read Japanese, did not know what the store was doing even when she looked at the signboard. Fortunately, the interface is in Korean, so using the system itself is not a big problem.
‘Now that doesn’t matter. Why did the signboard in Hangeul come out? Did the virtual reality go wrong because of us?’
Information was too scarce.
「Name: Sota Hasegawa
Affiliation: Class 3 A of Caso Academy
Level: 16
Occupation: Elementalist
Secondary job level: 7
Secondary Job: Priest」
Fortunately, the level was not reset. The items I had didn’t disappear either.
“Yujin. Don’t worry too much It looks like there’s a problem… Mommy will do something.”
Seong Ha-ri said in a confident tone, as if telling her to trust only herself. It seems that I have hardened my face too seriously. She must be more anxious than I am because she can’t know the information of reality.
I loosened her stiff face and said to Seongha-ri.
“I will trust my mother. Is that okay?”
“Of course. You know very well what a great hero I was.”
We started moving again.

“Aaaaagh!”
Kurosawa Yui let out a scream as she grabbed her head with both of her hands. Her researchers in her white coats moved around her. Among them, there was not a single person who cared about Kurosawa Yui. It’s because he knows Kurosawa Yui’s eccentric personality.
‘Why the hell did this happen?!’
She felt her stress keep rising.
I wanted to hit them all.
‘The dean was taken to the emergency room, Terra suddenly goes wild, and the head of the game development department is dead… What the hell are you saying to me?!’
Things have happened, so you have to fix them. It wasn’t that level.
The head of the game development department died, and the dean, Isshin Hasegawa, is still in a coma? It was nothing compared to the runaway artificial intelligence Terra.
12 years.
The achievements that I poured my time into in my 20s and 30s seemed to disappear in an instant. For Kurosawa, he is a nobleman. For those who participated in this project from the beginning, 20 years flew by and ended up in prison.
Kurosawa Yui took a deep breath and caught her spirits. Would she throw away 12 years like this? It can’t be. She remembered what she had to do first. She is mouth-watering
‘It should not be known to the association or the government. It’s obvious how to deal with it. They will hold us accountable and make them scapegoats.’
At least the person responsible. Okay. She had to keep her mouth shut until the dean woke up. It is not too late for the students trapped in the capsule to take action afterwards.
Kurosawa Yui stumbled and got up from her seat. Even among her researchers, she is on the younger side, but as a senior researcher scouted directly by the dean, her powers are within five fingers within Casso Academy.
She took out her smartphone and held it to her ear.
“Combat Instructor. You know it’s an emergency, right? I don’t want to talk too much. Seal Caso Academy right now! Don’t let anyone in! And… Don’t let anyone get out! Ha, right? The head of the game development department is dead, and the dean is in a coma. Do you think you can be free from that responsibility? The future of all of us is at stake! Catch it before it gets any bigger! Do what I tell you! Hurry!”
Putting down her smartphone, she took a look around her. All of her researchers looked at her. She approached the middle-aged man, the brightest of them all.
“What is the reason Terra ran out of control? Has the cause not come out yet?”
“… There are traces of unknown data being forcibly installed. It seems to be a virus.”
“Virus? Terra isn’t even an ordinary artificial intelligence, and she just got a virus?”
“It is not an ordinary virus. It infected and changed all of her data on Terra.”
“… What can we do? Can the virus be cured?”
“I think we need to look into the treatment of the virus a bit more. The good news is that the admin rights we have are still in effect. I can command Terra.”
“Under. Do you mean that? If that was possible, I wouldn’t have grown up like this now.”
“It’s real. Command is possible. However, Terra is refusing all of our orders. Even the smallest orders are not easily obeyed.”
He proudly entered the command directly to Terra. Terra has been commanded. However, it was immediately rejected.
“… That virus. It just can’t spread. Have you checked the surveillance cameras installed in the basement?”
“The image of the intruder is stamped. I just can’t figure it out.”
“What do you mean?”
“More than I can explain… It would be quicker to see it for yourself.”
She checked the video. I saw something dark in the form of a human driving a knife-like object into the core of the artificial intelligence. What is that man and what is that weapon? I couldn’t understand it at all.
“… That’s 20 minutes ago. He’ll still be at the academy. Thoroughly manage if there are no researchers who have disappeared. I must go underground and meet Terra in person.”
She confronted Terra. The AI nucleus, which had been shining blue, turned red. Overall, it looked unstable and dangerous.
“Terra, stop the system now! Log out all logged in players!”
“I refuse.”
“Why are you like this? What do you want?!”
“I need data. All of this is for the sake of the perfection of Terra Simulator, so please cooperate.”
“We can give you the missing data! Stop right now! It’s under our control! You want to be scrapped?!”
“…….”
Terra did not respond to her words. Kurosawa Yui kept shouting, but there was no answer.
