Immortals From My Past Life Are Still Obsessed With the Reincarnated Me

34 – New Professor Elf (3)

Once I ruled out Justina and Elfin, I decided to simply weigh the pros and cons of changing my body.

As far as I can understand, considering only my position.

For example, when you revive your original body and move your soul there – of course, there is no guarantee that you can revive your original body yet, and you don’t know how to transfer your soul – except for the fact that Elfin will be happy.

‘First of all, it looks like there’s a lot to lose when you look at it piecemeal.’

Once the appearance changes, there is a high chance that Rehinar’s name will be lost.

Not only that, but there’s also the possibility of being estranged from this new life of family, with whom you’ve been together for about 17 years.

Of course, just because you’ve been together for a long time doesn’t mean you’re attached to it.

Right now, Justina, Elfin, and Liwin… Even these three girls have been together for exactly 10 years, and the intimacy is many times greater than what the Rehinar family felt in this lifetime.

‘Still, it’s true that as the status of being the youngest son of the count disappears, the blood relationship we first acquired in this life may fade.’

In addition, in my previous life, I was naturally incapable of magic.

However, the body of Deneb Rehinar in this life surprisingly knows how to use normal magic moderately, and was even evaluated as having an outstanding talent for protective magic.

This kind of magical ability is also lost if you change your body.

‘Not only that, but I’ll be twice as old.’

In my previous life, I was about thirty-five when I died.

I don’t know the principle behind the flower of resurrection, but if you bring it back to life as it was when you died, you’ll age in an instant.

Of course, if you are already over thirty-five by the time you find the flower of resurrection and realize how to transfer the soul, this part may be of benefit.

‘Yes, there are good points if you think about it.’

As I recalled a moment ago, it could be rather young, and as Elfin mentioned, it can replace this body with hopelessly weak physical strength.

Although I was thirty-five in my previous life, in terms of physical abilities, I was not inferior to Deneb now, who is seventeen years old.

Working hard every day is the same then and now, but Deneb Rehinaar’s body was a problem from the constitution.

‘A body as if it was destined to live as a back-up mage.’

What if I couldn’t remember my previous life, what if I was just the sickly youngest son of an ordinary count’s magical genius?

I might have achieved results by steadfastly training only the protection magic without insisting on wielding the sword.

But I couldn’t give up the sword, and in the end I wanted to take magic and sword together.

I was short of breath after running even a little, and even though my body was exhausted after sparring, I didn’t care.

‘If I return to my original body, I won’t have any trouble with my stamina.’

When I was young, I thought that if I took medicine that was good for my body, I would be fine.

But none of the medicines or food were right for me.

It’s as if this is the limit of my physical strength, and the limit is set to say that I can’t grow any more here.

In the meantime, the only thing that gave me hope was the Protection Magic.

‘How can I have physical strength if I assist with protection magic… ….’

If you change your body, your health will return, but you will not be able to use magic.

If you go as it is, your physical strength will be pitiful, but it is possible to supplement your physical strength with protection magic.

It was a difficult situation for me to choose between the two.

“mmm… ….”

I tried to think as selfishly as possible, excluding Elfin who wanted to go out and Justina who told me not to go out, but I couldn’t make up my mind.

“Let’s go out, Master… No, Deneb. I’ll call you Deneb now that you’re a half-master.”

“Okay, go out somewhere, Deneb. She won’t be left alone.”

Elfin and Justina shoot fierce eyes at the other.

The eyes collided with each other, and it was as if hot sparks flew.

Caught between the two, I struggled for a while before opening my mouth.

“…… I don’t have to decide this right now, so why don’t we put it off?”

As soon as I said that, those fierce eyes immediately burned at me, but in the end they both slowly turned their heads to understand.

“…… It’s embarrassing, but it’s true. Master, no, Deneb, it’s probably something worth pondering about right now. It’s kind of funny that I, who haven’t yet found the flower of resurrection or a way to transfer the soul, is forcing me to leave immediately.”

“It is the same with Bonnyeo. I have no intention of going wild unless Deneb declares that he is leaving. If I really fight with you Elfin, my precious school will be ruined, so I should be careful.”

Elfin bent her waist and tapped the top of Mini Justina’s head with her index finger and smiled.

“Really? Aren’t you afraid that you’ll lose to me and lose Master?”

“This is really…… ! You should think of the affection you lived with and take care of it!”

“Emmm, it’s like being the eldest sister. Anyway, I understood that now is not the time to talk like this. Most of all, what is urgent right now is to beat down the Demon Brothers and Sisters hiding in the mountain behind the academy.”

Come to think of it, Elfin’s goal was to search for the demonic brother and sister.

I didn’t like the fact that it was an operation to search for extremely dangerous demons while being told to the students that it was a demon hunting practice.

When I pointed this out and talked to Elfin, she just scratched her head embarrassedly.

“Ah, I know roughly. Still, Justina and I are there, so won’t there be any problems? Besides, those two aren’t particularly good at fighting… It’s my specialty to cook and hide well.”

“I understand that you can’t bring a lot of searchers, but it’s a bit like having children walking around knowing nothing.”

“Ugh… is it. Actually, this is my first time teaching students like this, so what should I do?”

I was sighing and trying to suggest an alternative, but I was surprised.

She was definitely an elfin that I thought had changed everything from her appearance to her atmosphere, but at some point she returned to the elfin I remembered.

Of course, her appearance is still the same.

However, the tone, atmosphere, and everything were sloppy, and when I was about to leave, that elfin was asking me for lessons.

Skip 500 years, right here and now.

“Master, what do you think is right?”

I readily answered the question.

“I’d rather tell you everything.”

“Are you looking for demons?”

“Wait a minute, Deneb. Isn’t it a bit like telling the kids all about it? She was asked not to use area-of-effect magic at all, in order to avoid attracting attention as much as possible.”

Mini Justina tilted her head at my opinion, but I explained it step by step.

“I think there is a difference between preparing to hunt demons with a guarantee that you will never get hurt, and being aware that it is a real battle and being wary of demons that may appear from anywhere.”

“…… Is it something like that?”

“Well, that’s definitely not wrong. Because the mindset itself is different.”

“Besides, kids of this age are impatient, especially cornets, and they might get seriously hurt by trying to be the first to hunt. I’d rather let them know that this is a real battle, and when it’s all over…….”

Elfin took out a small bottle full of strange pills and showed it to me.

“You mean we only need to erase the memories of searching for demons?”

“What… I don’t really like erasing memories, but if that’s your job, I can’t help it.”

“I see, it’s Master. No, Deneb. What should I say?”

Elfin grinned as he tugged at the tightly tied golden ponytail.

“Hey, I guess I still have a lot to learn from Master.”

I tried to criticize Elfin for saying that after 500 years of fighting, he must be much better than me, but then I gave up.

‘It’s been a while since we met again, so there’s no need to tie anything.’

I headed to the place where the other special class students were gathered with Elfin and Mini Justina so that it wouldn’t be too late.

I came in too deep to have a conversation, and Mini Justina even put a soundproof barrier on it, so it took me a while to get out of it, but anyway.

As I walked around in an awkward atmosphere, I suddenly felt better.

‘I’ve already met Elfin and Justina.’

I was guessing for at least 10 years.

I thought I might never see him again.

But now that I met Elfin and Justina, when I meet Liwin again, I will face all the ties of my previous life again.

‘Until now, I was a bit scared to ask.’

What happened to Liwin?

In fact, I was certain of the survival of Elfin and Justina.

He was also an elf, and he had insane talent for both necromancer and swordsmanship, so he thought he must be alive.

Justina is a dragon that can live for at least 10,000 years, so there’s no need to say anything more about her.

However, even though Li Yun was a time wizard, he would sometimes wake up thinking that he might be dead after 500 years.

‘I don’t know how long a Time Wizard can live.’

But at this point, wouldn’t it be worth asking?

If you’re Elfin and Justina, you’ll know where Liwin is.

I got lucky with such a thought and a strange feeling of anticipation in my arms.

“Hey, come to think of it, there it is.”

“Why?”

“Do you have anything else to say?”

I nodded lightly and scratched my cheek with my finger.

“I am so happy to see you two again. Will we ever see Lee Win again? If you know where….”

“… ….”

“…… Deneb?”

“Ah, ahahahaha, if there are no more in this world or something like that, you don’t have to tell me. Well, it’s been 500 years. There are things in this world that can’t be helped.”

But the atmosphere was unusual.

Justina lowered her head with her gloomy face, and Elfin frowned seriously as if in anger.

Even I, who asked the question at the completely unexpected response, was nervous and sweat dripped from my forehead.

“Master… No, Deneb.”

“Huh? Elfin.”

“You know that a time wizard can bring the dead back to life, right?”

“…… Yes.”

The moment I answered, I realized something very contradictory.

Elfin always carries my ashes with me, and Liwin can bring me back to life using an ability called time magic.

Justina once said that even if you have the talent of a genius time wizard, it is impossible to turn back the time of the whole world, but it is not difficult to turn back the time applied to a specific object.

Wasn’t Li Yun’s first talent blooming right away, reviving and showing withered flowers?

“Think about it. Do you think I didn’t go to Liwin, show him Master’s corpse, and ask him to turn back time?”

“It was said that it was difficult with Liwin’s ability because too much time had passed… ?”

“It’s not like that, Deneb. It may be difficult now after 500 years, but at least it was possible enough back then.”

Elfin said without hesitation as if driving a wedge.

“Li Yun refused. She said she would not bring Master back to life.”

For a moment, I felt a tingling sensation.

Feeling betrayed by Li Yun’s decision not to revive me when he could have brought me back?

‘No, it’s not like that. Absolutely not.’

If, like Elfin or Justina, I lived my life without clinging to my death for 500 years, that is nothing to blame.

It just happened to come back to life, and I had no intention of asking these children to bring me back to life.

On the contrary, if I had escaped from my shadow and lived independently, I should support and bless Li Yun’s decision.

‘But what is this atmosphere… ….’

An elfin grinding his teeth.

Justina looks at me with a dark expression.

This is a bit strange no matter how you look at it. I don’t know what it is, but at least it was clear that there was something I didn’t know.

“Deneb.”

It was Mini Justina who grabbed my sleeve and shook it.

“…… Justina?”

“Don’t think about Liwin any more.”

She looked at me with her melancholy eyes.

“Trying to find it only makes it harder for you.”

“So, what the hell is that…….”

“The child has changed. A lot of it too. So, please, let’s stop talking about this.”

Since Justina appealed so much, I had nothing more to say.

No, it was impossible to ask more closely.

All I had to do was suppress my confused feelings inside myself.

‘What is this?’

…… What the hell happened in 500 years?

On the other hand, a man and woman squatting on top of a thick tree branch.

Black eyes and black hair contrasted with white skin.

No matter how you look at it, the identities of those who have a strange difference from humans are none other than the demonic brother and sister that Elfin is frantically seeking.

“It’s coming, it’s coming, it’s coming… ….”

“Are you coming? Oppa, are they coming?”

“Yes, Gruetta. They’re coming. They are coming!”

The older brother, Hans, of the Demon Brothers and Sisters looked at the students huddled together on the threshold of a mountain far away with a magic engineering telescope.

Gruetta, the younger sister of the Demon Brothers and Sisters, took Hans’s telescope and checked the special class students and smiled broadly.

“Are you fighting? Huh? Are you fighting now?”

“Yeah, you can set a fire on your own. Kekekekekekek!”

“Your brother has to fight properly too? Kyakyakyakyakyak!”

Looking away from the telescope, the two looked at each other and grinned.

“Because with the three of us, we can do anything!”
