Chapter 574: Reincarnated as a Genius of the Most Talented Family
385. Why do I feel anxious?
Next is the Department of Theology.
“I didn’t know I would be taking our undergraduate classes with you.”
Jenna seemed a little excited.
“Why are you so excited?”
“Well, you’re my friend Dane, right?”
“Everything is exciting.”
“What a surprise. How many people are jealous of you when you say you’re my friend? Even the professor is jealous. When I told him I was taking his class, he contacted me separately.”
“okay?”
“Yeah. He really liked it.”
Actually, I don’t really care about popular or unpopular lectures. I just listen to them because I want to.
But that doesn’t seem to be the case for unpopular faculty members or students.
“Honestly, there’s a lot of interest in you coming alone. The Academy seems to be paying a lot of attention to you too. You’re Dane Sogress, right?”
“It gives me goosebumps.”
“Isn’t it time you got used to it? You saved an unpopular department. No, should I say you extended its life?”
I chuckled at that expression.
Whatever it is, it doesn’t matter.
As long as the lectures are interesting, that’s fine.
Anyway, I headed to the integrated lecture hall where the Department of Theology lectures were held with Jenna.
For reference, the integrated lecture building is where all the lecture rooms of all departments are gathered, except for the top departments that use the lecture building almost entirely or use it in conjunction with one or two other departments.
Jenna calls it a ‘chicken coop’.
Here are also the lecture rooms of the Department of History and Department of Archery that I heard about.
Of course, in the case of outdoor classrooms, a separate site is used in the backyard.
“Oh, Dane, didn’t you say your department isn’t here?”
“It’s attached to Haksa-dong.”
“That’s good. Is it because it’s an autonomous major that you get special treatment?”
“No, I was only keeping it in name because no students had ever come in, but I ended up using it after I came in.”
“aha.”
By the way, I remember the outdoor archery range of the archery department that was so poor.
We’ve already talked about it, but I wonder when it will happen.
“Over there, 5th floor. By the way, there’s no elevator.”
“Not bad.”
“Right? There are 11 floors, so 5th floor isn’t too bad. You can just walk up to it.”
As I followed Jenna into the lecture hall and went up to the 5th floor, I received the attention of many students.
There was also some murmuring.
To summarize, the reaction is, “Why is he here?”
“That’s right. Just taking the popular department’s lectures is enough.”
“Where is the popularity and unpopularity?”
“Yes. Why aren’t there any? There are at the Academy. I’m just saying that it’s strange that you’re coming here to earn credits by taking classes at these departments.”
It may seem like such a strange thing, but when you think about the academy students’ ultimate goal, it makes sense.
What I feel while attending the academy is that I can only find a suitable job after graduating from the academy.
In the case of the Department of Swordsmanship, it is the Imperial Knights’ seat, and in the case of the Department of Magic, it is the Magic Tower.
Good jobs are only available to students who have passed the academy’s qualifications.
Of course, this is not strange or a bad thing.
It’s natural to want students who have been verified by a reliable institution.
However, the current situation is that an academy diploma itself is the goal.
“Jenna, what are you going to do after you graduate?”
“Well. Well. I haven’t thought about it. It’s not easy to make use of my major, and if I get it wrong, I often get accused of being a witch.”
“That’s right.”
“But shouldn’t I do something? I’m still a sophomore.”
I hope that this sparkling innocence lasts for a long time.
The lecture room of the Department of Theology that I entered like that.
It was surprisingly neatly decorated.
“That’s because this is a theory lecture room.”
“Is the practical classroom a little different?”
“Well. It’s full of things that normal people would wonder what they are. The atmosphere is also gloomy.”
Why did our club make a haunted house? If there was such a place, I would have found out about it a long time ago.
“Dane, let’s sit over there. The middle is perfect.”
“Can’t I sit in the front?”
“… … You’re the type that enjoys the gaze? The professor’s gaze.”
“It’s easier to concentrate than that. There’s only the professor in front.”
“I understand why you are the top.”
As I suggested, we sat in the front row and opened our books, ignoring the murmurings behind us.
“hmm.”
This is the first time I’ve seen the content.
First of all, although it is a department of necrophilia, it deals with all sorts of unknown elements, so curses are also included.
This lecture can be called an ‘introduction to curses’, and it covers everything from the theoretical aspects of curses to some practical aspects.

“This is my first time taking this class, but I heard that the curses section is particularly difficult. There are a few seniors in the Department of Necrophilia who didn’t graduate. It’s all because of this curses section.”
“Is it that difficult?”
“Rather than saying it’s difficult… … Well, to be more specific, is it because the psychological damage is great?”
It’s mental damage.
“I don’t know the details, but a curse is usually something that uses up your own mental power to make someone worse. That’s why the stress is so intense. And also, a curse can’t be manifested unless you’re ‘sincere.’”
It is not easy to truly curse and hate someone.
I’ve never done that either.
It was like that in this life, and it was like that in the past life.
I’ve thought about the guy who stole my precious supplies later getting shot by a blinding arrow and dying, but if you ask me if that’s a curse or a hatred, I’m not sure.
“If it’s not sincere, then the curse is meaningless.”
“That’s right. Because it’s something that can only be done if you truly hate it. That’s why I’m going to finish after just listening to the theory. I don’t think I’ll be able to graduate if I start getting too serious about practical matters.”
Regardless of a person’s personality, the emotion of hatred often blossoms.
When you get hurt by someone.
Or when you are betrayed in love.
As for love, I don’t know much about it.
But I did see it a lot.
During the war, there were soldiers who would occasionally receive letters from their lovers or wives and scream out in hatred.
“Dane, you’re not thinking of putting a curse on anyone, are you?”
“No way.”
How could I possibly curse someone?
If it’s something worth cursing, it might be faster to get rid of it before cursing it.
“The professor is coming in.”
And finally, the door opened and the professor of the Department of Necromancy who would teach this class of curses came in.
He wasn’t the type of person who gave off a particularly gloomy or strange vibe.
On the contrary, he had a gentlemanly image, wearing a neat uniform and even a monocle.
“He is the coolest professor in our department.”
“It looks like that.”
“There is only one professor in our department.”
“… … .”
The professor looked around the classroom and opened his mouth with a very dry expression.
“I am Franz Bruno. I will be teaching you the science of curses this semester.”
The introduction was simple and the lecture introduction was also brief.
In my case, he only gave me a glance like he did to other students, and he didn’t show any emotion or interest like the other professors.
Rather, it is good.
So I can just focus on the lecture.
“This curse studies will cover theoretical content, and at the end, we will have some practical training. However, in the case of practical training that replaces the final exam, the grade percentage will be lower, so you can rest assured.”
An explanation of the lecture followed, followed by a warning.
“Usually, there are two types of students who take curse studies in the Department of Necromancers. Those who take it as a required major. Those who are genuinely interested in curses.”
Professor Bruno pushed up his monocle slightly with his index finger.
“If it’s the former, it’s sound, but if it’s the latter, you need to think about it. There are various reasons. There’s something you want to curse, or you have a great interest in the subject of curses. However, curses are not as simple as you think. It takes a long time to figure out the object of the curse, and it’s not easy to get the materials needed for the curse. Considering the mental power consumed by the curse, depending on the curse, you may need to recuperate for over a year. Or, if the curse fails, you may be cursed as a backlash.”
Professor Bruno told a rather gruesome story.
“Let me tell you this story. There was a man who cursed the man who married the woman he liked first. Another man wanted to put this curse on the man who was with the woman he liked. He would never be able to have children and all kinds of misfortune would come upon him.”
“Did the curse fail and the man ended up taking on all the curses?”
Professor Bruno shook his head at the student who had just spoken.
“No. The curse worked.”
Then why am I telling you this story?
“But it takes a long time to cast a curse. As I said, depending on the curse, it can take more than a year. In the case of the man, the degree of hatred was so great that it took a year and six months to prepare. A lot of things happen during that time. Someone dies, someone is born, someone gets hurt, someone disappears.”
Professor Bruno looked around at us and continued speaking with his expression still indifferent.
“The man finally finished preparing his curse and cast it. But he made a fatal mistake. He did not check the target of the curse.”
“That means… … .”
“Yes. When the curse was finally cast, the man who was the target of the curse was already dead. It was an accident. The curse caster just didn’t know it.”
The target of the curse is dead, but the curse is still cast.
“From now on, this is the first theory of curses. Identify the object of the curse. The man did not identify the object of the curse. Then, where will the curse go?”
I raised my hand and gave my deduced answer.
“Is this you?”
“That is correct.”
A curse without a target is turned on oneself.
“This is one of the most emphasized theories in curse studies. The target of the curse must be clear, and a curse cast on an unclear target will be directed at oneself.”
“… … .”
It’s pretty gruesome.
A trembling voice was heard from behind.
“Then… what happened to that guy?”
“Oh, I forgot to mention one condition.”
Knock, knock.
Professor Bruno wrote this on the blackboard:
Please don’t let me live or die.
“The man also added this condition to the curse.”
“then…….”
“Yes. He must be somewhere right now. Unable to live or die, carrying all the pain of the world on his back.”
“… … .”
Professor Bruno lifted his monocle again.
“You have to be careful with curses. If you don’t curse, hatred remains as an emotion, but the moment you curse, hatred becomes real and inevitably causes suffering to the target. However, you never know whether that target will be you or your opponent.”
It’s an immersive lecture.
That’s really interesting.
I don’t intend to curse you though.
So what about this case?
“Professor, I have a question.”
“Please speak.”
“It’s true that preparing for a curse takes a long time, and it’s true that a lot of effort goes into casting a curse, but does that mean that the person being cursed has to just accept the curse?”
Professor Bruno looked at me for a moment and smiled for the first time in this lecture.
“Good question. You are a great student.”
what.
Why do I feel anxious when I receive compliments?
