After finishing my meal, I was placed on a stretcher and taken to an ambulance, where I received first aid for my arrow wound. My two friends were secured by the association for questioning about what had transpired inside, as well as to remove the body of the Hobgoblin I had killed.
As the bodies were removed from the talisman one by one, the onlookers were surprised by the two Goblin bodies, which had been killed in a slightly different manner. They were perfectly burned, as if they had been set ablaze from within.
"As for the Goblin with the injured leg, we don't know what happened because he was killed by Fajar during a one-on-one fight using the Vice Principal's talisman technique. However, for the other Goblin, he was stabbed with a sword given by the Vice Principal, and the sword I brought was infused with mana. Suddenly, the sword ignited in flames. Honestly, we don't really understand how he was able to create fire on his sword without incanting any spell."
Hearing Dimas' explanation, only Fajar's family understood what he meant and continued to listen without pressing for further details.
"But what about the injuries sustained by the two victims? I received news that the reason you entered the talisman to hide was because they were injured by Goblins. How did that happen?"
Adji lowered his head and replied.
"I'm sorry; I didn't notice the arrival of the archer group when Fajar killed the seven Goblins at the beginning. By the time we realized what was happening, four Goblins with large swords and nine Goblin archers were approaching, shooting arrows at us, along with seven fireballs from a distance. Thanks to Fajar's ability, he managed to block some of the arrows and magic, but he couldn't dodge the last arrow because we were simultaneously attacked by Goblins wielding large swords. The Vice Principal was injured because he was the last person to enter the portal when we were ambushed by the Goblin army."
Hearing Adji's explanation, everyone grasped their situation. The Great Hobgoblin was indeed renowned for being a high-level Goblin, but despite their fighting capabilities, they were still Goblins and would become confused if their leader was killed. However, one had to wonder just how high the leader's level was, considering they were a large group of Great Hobgoblins.
After providing information to the Association, Dimas and Adji were taken home by the Association to avoid being impeded by the crowd of journalists waiting outside the academy.

In a small, shabby apartment, a student with the lowest grades woke up from his sleep, cold sweat pouring down his body. With a face full of disbelief, he jumped out of bed and rushed to the nearest calendar to check the date.
**May 7, 2050.** This is truly 25 years ago; I've really come back.
As the male student reveled in his newfound situation, he suddenly realized one important thing and ran to his laptop to search for information.
What he was looking for was news about the portal that had opened at the school where he had studied.
As he read the news article and noted the publication date, he thought,
"It just happened yesterday—an A+ rank portal featuring a Great Hobgoblin monster. Before the portal regression, we experienced two anomalies: it went from a C rank to a B rank. After six months, the portal transformed again into an Anomaly Portal and drastically upgraded to A+. Due to this sudden change from a middle-level portal to a high-level portal, many students, teachers, and staff lost their lives when the rupture occurred."
"At that time, not many people speculated about who or what caused this incident. However, after 15 years, everything finally became clear. If I really have returned to the past, maybe I can prevent the destruction of the world in my own way."
The male student received a message from the school stating that classes would be closed for three days.
"Three days, huh? With my experience as an Awakener before the regression, I should be able to make some progress."
The boy took off his shirt and began absorbing natural energy to cleanse the impurities from his body.
..
Ten hours later, after successfully expelling some impurities from his body, a system panel suddenly appeared before him. On the panel, it read that a Supreme Entity was observing him closely.
*[Who Studied the Origin of Style is observing you]*
"Origin of Style? Is that the being who sponsored the Han Pai Martial Emperor from China?"
"But it's rare for someone famous in other planes to take notice of individuals outside their own realm."
The reason for this attention could be that when someone attempts to imitate a martial arts style, individuals who have mastered that style become aware of their existence. Additionally, the energy absorption technique he was using was a future absorption technique that no one had even conceived of at this time.
[Who Studied the Origin of Style gives you a Skill]
[The ability
Receiving an ability like Dantian from such a powerful entity filled the boy with joy, especially because the entity did not request anything in return or even offer to sponsor him. With this ability, cleansing the impurities from his body became much easier, and he no longer needed to exert as much effort to collect natural energy within himself.

Three days later, the reincarnated boy approached Dimas, the owner of the Grand Detective Talent Core, which enabled him to identify all types of talent cores, including a person's main core, simply by looking at them. After sending an email three days ago, following his successful gathering of natural energy in his body, he requested a meeting with Dimas, expressing that he wanted to share something he would never be able to convey, even with Adji's Future Vision Talent Core.
Because of that email, Dimas met with the person who had sent it and was able to identify who he was within three days.
