I Became A Flashing Genius At The Magic Academy-Chapter 336
The mission to transport **Baek Yuseol** to the Alchemists' Life Research Center was canceled when he regained consciousness.
To address the aftermath of the Black Mage outbreak in **Tread City**, the **Stella Search Corps** was mobilized, deploying fifty magical warriors to the city. Their efforts led to the capture of six Black Mages who had been hiding there. However, the motive behind the attack on Baek Yuseol remained unclear, and no solid evidence could identify the instigators.
In the chaos of the situation, the three Black Mages who ambushed Baek Yuseol were killed outright. Black Mages’ bodies disintegrated upon death, leaving no trace—perfect evidence destruction.

"Another stay in the hospital, huh..."
Upon returning to **Stella**, not only Baek Yuseol but the entire **Stella Knights** had to be hospitalized. The **Stella Knights** had suffered significant injuries during their battle with **Kaena**, and Baek Yuseol's condition required further examination. Moreover, the aftereffects of *Celestial Unity* were far worse than anticipated, leaving him unable to move.

#### *Celestial Unity’s Aftermath*
> [Maximum Duration of Celestial Unity: 9 minutes]
Reading the hovering system message, Baek Yuseol reflected grimly.
"Just because the maximum duration is nine minutes doesn't mean I should push it that far."
Nine minutes marked the upper limit of what his body could endure. Exceeding it would lead to catastrophic damage. During the fight with Kaena the previous night, Baek Yuseol had sustained *Celestial Unity* for approximately eight minutes, pushing himself dangerously close to his limits. As a result, he couldn’t move his legs, and his right wrist—the one that had wielded his sword—was broken.
The doctor had sternly warned him:
> "What you accomplished, defeating a Black Mage by pushing yourself to the brink, was nothing short of extraordinary. I respect that. But if you continue to fight this way, your body will break beyond repair. You might never fight again."
Even though Baek Yuseol hadn’t pushed the full nine minutes, the aftermath of *Celestial Unity* was brutal. Torn muscles, fractured bones—his body was on the verge of collapse.
He had an inkling of the cause.
"It’s because I mastered *Natural Celestial Unity* too abruptly."
Typically, mastering *Natural Celestial Unity* required complete control over magical leakage delay. However, his rapid progression had placed an immense burden on his body. Fortunately, as long as he didn’t overuse it, this wouldn’t become a long-term issue. With training, he could gradually learn to handle the technique more effectively.

#### *Baek Yuseol’s Current Stats*
> **Attributes**:
> [Strength: ★★★★☆ (5) 27%]
> [Senses: ★★★★☆ (5) 61%]
> [Agility: ★★★★☆ (5) 03%]
> [Endurance: ★★★☆☆ (4) 78%]
> [Durability: ★☆☆☆☆ (1) 00%]
> [Mental Strength: ★★★★★★ (6) 00%]
> [Mana: 0★]
> **Skills**:
> [Forward Blink Lv.4]
> [Tai Spirit Technique Lv.3]
His attributes had seen significant improvement. Most had reached the fifth star, and even **Durability**, which had been stuck at [0★ 99%], had finally broken through to [1★].
This seemingly minor increase of 0.01% was a monumental leap. For ordinary humans, [0★ 99%] was the absolute limit for durability. While Black Mages enhanced their durability through **Dark Mana**, and Mages used **Shield Coating**, Baek Yuseol had shattered the natural human limit unaided.
Breaking past the barrier meant his durability could now grow steadily, addressing one of his biggest weaknesses: defense.

#### *Mysterious Blessing: Greenwood April*
Raising his hand, Baek Yuseol concentrated, drawing upon a mysterious energy. A faint green mist swirled around him, radiating vitality.
This wasn’t natural energy—it was something entirely different.
It was the **Blessing of Greenwood April**, a power he had no memory of acquiring.
"Why do I have this blessing?" he wondered.
Baek Yuseol recalled a dream of a woman resembling a mountain, who had poured energy into his heart to aid his awakening. He assumed this had left the blessing imprinted on him.

"What's that?"
The door to the hospital room opened, and **Flame** walked in, her black hair now unusually long. She placed several paper bags on the floor and dragged a chair to sit by his bed.
"It’s nothing," Baek Yuseol replied casually.
"Is that one of the Twelve Heavenly Moons’ blessings?" she asked nonchalantly, pulling an apple and a paring knife from a bag.
Caught off guard, Baek Yuseol hesitated before nodding.
"Yeah, Greenwood April helped me wake up."
"Interesting," Flame murmured as she deftly peeled the apple with the skill of a seasoned homemaker.
---
Their conversation turned lighthearted as Flame explained that her long hair was a side effect of using *Angelic Descent*, her ultimate skill. She casually mentioned needing to cut it soon. When Baek Yuseol commented that it didn’t look bad, she paused momentarily before brushing it off.
As they talked, Flame shared updates from the past month. Most of their seniors had graduated, and **Anella**, a young girl Baek Yuseol had mentored, was preparing to take the **Stella Academy entrance exam**.
The lively conversation felt like a return to normalcy for Flame, who had been unusually somber lately. Watching her animatedly recount events, Baek Yuseol could sense the unspoken relief and joy in her demeanor.

#### *Lingering Threats and Old Hatreds*
The Tread City incident dominated headlines. Sightings of an "angel" and a "demon" sparked widespread debate, with citizens capturing blurry photographs.
In a dimly lit room, a man stared at a crumpled newspaper. Lighting a cigar, he flicked the ashes onto the image of the angel’s silhouette.
On his wrist was a tattoo of angel wings—a forgotten symbol of the **Angel Hunters**, a group from centuries past. Formed during the Angel-Demon War, their purpose had been to eradicate both angels and demons, deemed threats to humanity. Though history had erased their name, their descendants carried on their mission in secret.
---
"An angel has returned... We need to kill it before it becomes a danger to our world," the man muttered coldly.
He sneered, recalling the chaos angels had wrought in the past. Even with their small numbers, they had disrupted the world. Worst of all, female angels were considered highly dangerous—they could bear the "seeds of angels" and create more chaos.
"Their return cannot be allowed."
With a grim resolve, he crushed the newspaper, vowing to exterminate the angel before it could wreak havoc.
