I Became a Student at the Transcension Academy

Chapter 304



Side Story Chapter 21 - The first transcendentalist (1)

Seojun is the first transcendentalist in a daze.

So, I looked at Astelgia.

The flashing light all over his body had a sense of heterogeneity, like a hologram.

“Are you… the first transcendent?”

Seojun slowly opened his mouth with a trembling voice.

However, Astelgia did not respond.

He just looked at Seo-joon with calm eyes.

After a while, Astelgia slowly opened her mouth.

-Maybe... I think you have a lot of questions. It may be a distant future that I cannot see, but I can see your expression vividly.

Astelgia gave a small smile.

Seo-joon was able to notice the appearance of Astelgia at once.

What Astelgia looks like now.

This is not a living Astelgia.

at any point in time.

It seemed to be the will left by Astelgia right before it disappeared.

-Still, the fact that he faced me means that he came all the way here. It must mean that you carried on my will.

Astelgia slowly raised her gaze and looked at Seo-joon.

Even in the distant past, Astelgia looked exactly where Seo-joon was.

There was a vague yet bitter contradictory emotion in his eyes.

- Really... Thank you very much. My choice proved that my decision was not wrong...

Something transparent flowed down Astelgia's eyes.

The Astelgia you see now is the will of a distant point of view.

Despite not knowing what the result was, Astelgia was in front of her eyes.

Seo-joon blankly looked at Astelgia.

It was confusing to be exact.

Because I couldn't understand what you were talking about.

What choice did Astelgia say?

And what will he left behind?

“What... are you talking about?”

Seo-joon asked Astelgia without knowing it.

He knew that he couldn't answer, but Seo-jun had no choice but to ask.

But did he expect Seo-jun to say something like this?

Or can I hear Seo-joon's words now?

- watcher. The truth of the world intertwined with him.

Astelgia looked at Seojun and said.

The last story where many stories are intertwined and different.

observer.

first transcendence.

and Seojun.

the beginning of this story.

- It started from the beginning... It was a long fight.

goes back to the beginning

Beginning.

This dimension of Astelgia...

no, the dimension before the name Astelgia was still attached was a world full of chaos.

If there is a life of hell on Earth, is it here?

Relieved to survive like a bug day by day.

But tomorrow, I worry about how to survive again.

The dimension where life itself is suffering.

- I was also a being living in a continuation of such a life.

Astelgia, the first transcendental being, was also one of those who suffered in such a life.

Astelgia struggled to survive.

No other thoughts existed.

dream? hope?

A future that will get better someday?

That kind of thing couldn't be included in the family called luxury.

Because the concept of dreams and hopes didn’t exist in the first place.

survival.

To him, that was all there was to life.

That time when I struggled day after day,

worried about surviving every week, and

repeated survival for decades.

Astelgia came to realize that there was no longer a threat to her in this dimension.

overwhelming inaction.

It was a reality created by Astelgia, who had been longing for survival.

Astelgia was then able to accept something other than survival.

The things that beings should lead as beings.

joy happiness.

And the future you create for yourself.

‘Thank you for saving me!! thank you!'

I discovered the joy of living together.

It became an indicator of a new life for Astelgia, who was

always full of pain and only survival was everything.

Astelgia turned her attention to those suffering like herself.

He gathered people to build a force and

drove out the chaos that hung over the dimension.

Chaos possessed terrible power, but it was fading away one by one in the face of Astelgia's overwhelming inaction.

The threat looming over the dimension gradually faded away, leaving many to pursue something other than survival.

‘mister! this! I secretly left it for my uncle!'

‘me too! me too!'

Astelgia knows that this is the life of a true being.

The desperate struggle he had been through was not life.

‘...... Thank you.'

I have come to truly understand.

Astelgia cleared the world of chaos through overwhelming inaction.

however.

It is said that the stronger the light, the thicker the darkness.

Out of the final chaos the most terrible evil was born.

Primordial evil, Beserk.

Beserk was on a different level from the chaos he had dealt with.

However, Astelgia faced Beserk and fought.

The life that beings should lead as beings.

To protect it, Astelgia risked her all.

A battle that would be insufficient even with the word Shinhwa continued.

And Astelgia was able to defeat Beserk after a desperate struggle.

But was the fight against Beserk too fierce?

Astelgia also meets its end after the fight.

Afterwards, the world regained stability and found peace, but

Astelgia could not exist in that peaceful world.

In order to honor its existence forever, people named the dimension they live in as ‘Astelgia'.

This is the origin of the dimension called Astelgia and a mythical story known to the Empire.

exactly.

- It's a story fabricated by an observer.

It was a story fabricated by an observer.

-I couldn't completely drive out Beserk at the time. And I didn't even die then.

Astelgia continued her story.

-Precisely, it was the moment when he was about to strike the final blow.

At the time, Astelgia could not guarantee victory in the fight against Beserk.

Beserk was extremely powerful, and

Astelgia could not guarantee whether it would be able to get rid of Beserk after a desperate struggle.

No, Astelgia could intuit that she would be defeated with a great probability.

However, Astelgia fought to the end

and was about to strike Beserk with all her might.

『How did this happen...?』

-It was the first time I met an observer.

Astelgia was able to face the observer's existence for the first time.

Astelgia started to panic greatly at the sudden sound of will.

That would be the case, because with that will, all time in the world stopped.

Astelgia was unable to move.

After a while, the view reversed.

The vision soon returned.

There was only pure white light there.

Later, I found out that it was a boundary space, but Astelgia at the time was just embarrassed.

『Your dimension must have been destined to never escape destruction? No, how could a being like you be born?]

The observer only spit out an unknown will toward Astelgia.

Of course, Astelgia at the time did not know that that being was the observer.

“impossible. This... This is the future not recorded in causality. It's absolutely impossible, so how on earth!』

‘Who are you...?'

“oh my god! You can even stay sane?”

The observer exclaimed in surprise.

『This is impossible! You escaped from the restraints of fate and cause and effect!! you bastard...! What the hell are you doing!”

‘I want to ask. Who are you? Who are you to do this...'

『You are a great threat to the causality of the dimension just by existing. I have to reveal all the flow of cause and effect... but I can't help it.

『Disappear.』

The observer immediately destroyed the existence of Astelgia.

However, Astelgia is in a state where it has escaped from the already determined fate and escaped from the restraints of cause and effect.

To be precise, the concept of transcendence was not yet established in the contemplative's cause and effect.

『Mamamama, that is unbelievable!! Doesn't the suppression of cause and effect work? How could this be...!!!”

The observer was greatly perplexed by the appearance of Astelgia, whose existence had not been destroyed.

Something that has never happened since the beginning of time.

The observer could intuit that great confusion would result in the laws of the world he had set.

conclusions drawn by the observer.

“You are something that shouldn’t be here. Get out of here.』

-So I was expelled from the dimension without knowing why.

Fortunately, Beserk was sealed in exchange for the cost of expelling Astelgia, and peace was restored in Astelgia's dimension.

However, Astelgia could not exist there.

But Astelgia didn't care.

Even though he was expelled from the dimension, the dimension regained peace.

Because there will be no more people suffering from it.

So that's it.

Astelgia thought it was fortunate.

exactly.

-I thought so.

Until we face the truth of the world.

Exiled from the dimension, Astelgia is no longer bound by the restraints of cause and effect.

As a result, he was able to easily face the truth related to the dimension.

beginning.

This universe was a world in which the concept of cause and effect did not exist.

To be precise, it was a free world that was not bound by the law of cause and effect.

A free-spirited world where you don't know where to go.

In that world, beings could enjoy complete freedom.

However, complete freedom also meant disorder in a different sense.

The actions of a being who did not know where to go caused great disorder in the world, and

someone who watched this looked at such a world as a world of chaos without order.

Unpredictable uncertainty.

That uncertainty causes chaos and suffers existence.

If only we could bring order and rules to this world.

So if you can rule a world where uncertainty is inherent.

Could there be no more confusion?

Someone watching the world of chaos began to give order and rules to the world.

And that order and rule was the law of cause and effect.

A law that must necessarily occur in order for one state to reach the conclusion of another state.

Once causality was established, unpredictable uncertainty began to disappear.

Thus, the world of chaos gradually began to find stability.

however.

Effects follow causes, and

causes follow effects.

A being's action must have a cause, and

its effect must have a cause.

Thus, the actions taken by beings

were based solely on the causal law rather than complete freedom.

Even the choices you make now are nothing more than based on a cause.

It is nothing more than a future created using the flow of cause and effect.

A world where the future is controlled and its destiny is determined.

This world has become a world manipulated by the framework of cause and effect.

But one person was satisfied.

If I can get rid of chaos like this, that's enough.

Beings trapped in a frame are just puppets who don't know anything.

They are nothing more than puppets walking on pre-determined paths. A doll

that walks when told to walk like this and lies down

when told to lie down like that.

They are nothing more than small objects that must be sacrificed for the stability of the world.

That's how the world began to walk on a set path under the law of causality.

And down that set path.

-My dimension was a world that was determined to be destroyed.

Under the law of causality, causes follow effects, and effects follow causes.

And the result of the stability of other dimensions living in the universe.

The cause of the cause and effect necessary for this was the suffering of the dimension of Astelgia.

If one dimension suffers.

If only I could get the cause and effect of that pain.

All other dimensions can lead stable and prosperous lives.

The truth behind order and stability.

Astelgia was a dimension with such a destiny.

As such, the dimension citizens of Astelgia were always destined to suffer.

No matter how hard you struggle, life itself is a pain here.

This is where destiny is.

However, Astelgia resisted that determined fate.

In this way, he was able to dispel the chaos that hung over the dimension.

A future that should be destroyed by Beserk.

0% chance of not being able to exist.

Astelgia turned upside down.

Through the method of transcendence (超越), which could not exist in causation.

As a result, an exception was made to the causal law set by the observer.

Therefore, for the new ‘result' of expelling Astelgia, we were able to meet the 'cause' of dimensional salvation.

but.

-The world seen from this place was quite similar to my dimension.

The dimensions that extract the cause and effect of pain for the sake of stability and order in another dimension.

That dimension was not very different from the situation Astelgia experienced.

survival.

In a place where only desperate struggles existed, there was no life that existence should enjoy as existence.

furthermore.

The peace that the dimensional people of Astelgia now enjoy was also founded in that pain.

Can this peace be justified?

Astelgia couldn't answer easily.

How terrible is the pain.

Because I've experienced it myself.

Even that peace and happiness were ultimately determined by the observer's destiny.

Just moving like a puppet.

If you want to feel this feeling, feel it.

If you want to do something like that, you have to do it.

The happiness that beings deserve to live as beings did not exist from the beginning.

There was only false happiness manipulated by the observer.

-I... couldn't just watch it.

Thus, Astelgia finally made a decision.

Let's help those who are suffering.

We may not be able to help everyone, but

let's at least help those who can.

to get out of that pain.

knew how

Transcendence (超越) To get out of the frame of cause and effect set by the contemplative.

Astelgia constantly researched how to intervene into the dimension outside the dimension that the observer could not reach.

And finally, I found a way and chose two dimensions.

A dimension named Referee.

And it was a dimension named Earth.

I couldn't choose the dimension in which Astelgia was born.

I thought that if I did, the observer would notice at once.

So, Astelgia chooses the one with the most meaning in the two chosen dimensions.

The two beings chosen like that are Irina.

and great voice.

at the same time this.

-I passed on everything to them.

It was the beginning of the transcendent academy.
