I Became a Student at the Transcension Academy - Chapter 149

Chapter 149 – Missing (1)

“Master Su is in critical condition?! What the hell since when?!”

At Geomseong’s words, Soo-yeon was startled and shouted.

Then, as if he had flinched, he strode closer to the Sword Saint.

Geomseong looked at Suyeon and opened his mouth again.

“I heard that your condition got really bad when you guys were in Italy.”

Even so, Demon Star was in a critical condition.

Everyone was hushing it up, but everyone knew it wouldn’t last this year.

Even Soo-yeon roughly guessed that that time was not far off.

That’s why it was inevitable that the time would come,

but as always, these things came unexpectedly when you weren’t prepared for them.

“It would be faster for me to see it for myself than to explain it word for word. The demonic one still wants to see you.”

At Geomseong’s words, Soo-yeon gasped and prepared to go out.

And all the members of the team followed after Suyeon.

Not only Seo Jun, but also Geomseong and Youngseong.

The house of Maseong arrived like that.

In fact, it was more like a research institute than a home.

If Geomseong’s house felt like an antique flower garden,

Maseong’s house felt like an old castle in the Middle Ages.

Is it often called the magic tower?

Also, it was full of all kinds of strange patterns and letters here and there in case someone wasn’t a wizard.

I thought that it was indeed the home of a demonic castle that was said to be a master of magic and the pinnacle of magicians.

“Seo Jun-ah.”

Just as he was about to enter Maseong’s house, someone called Seo-jun.

“Uncle Mancheol. You are here.”

It was none other than Mancheol.

A colleague and Su-yeon’s father who has worked with Seo-joon on monster corpses for the past 10 years.

When trapped in a dryad dungeon with demons.

There was a relationship that crossed life and death with demonic nature.

The reason why Suyeon was able to become Maseong’s disciple was because of that relationship.

So, Seo-joon had contacted Man-cheol on the way to Ma-seong’s house.

Man-cheol walked slowly and looked startled at the appearance of the sword star and the spirit star.

It seems that he didn’t know that there were sword skills and spirituality.

However, as Suyeon and other team members greeted each other, she was able to melt right away.

With such a simple greeting, the party knocked on the door of the house.

Soon the door of the house opened and a woman appeared.

“Is everyone here?”

It was none other than Maseong’s first disciple, Jeong Ji-min.

He was an outstanding magician who said that his demonic nature had surpassed him in an instant.

Even though it was lacking compared to the demonic nature of its heyday, it was just that the demonic nature was great.

Right now, there is no magician in Korea who is better than Jeong Ji-min.

“Sister Jimin!”

When Jung Ji-min appeared, Soo-yeon ran to Jeong Ji-min in a gasp.

Soo-yeon’s face is contemplative.

Jung Ji-min smiled calmly as if to soothe Su-yeon.

The sight was like seeing pretty close sisters.

Come to think of it, they both had the same teacher.

It could be said that they were sister-in-law and sister-in-law, so in a way, it was natural.

I thought we weren’t close because we didn’t have a chance to meet, but

now it seems that we’ve been keeping in touch without realizing it.

“What about Master Su? Are you okay, Master?”

“First… let’s go in.”

Jung Ji-min did not give a clear answer to Soo-yeon’s question.

But just by looking at his hardened expression, I could guess what his condition was.

So, Seo-joon and the other party followed Jung Ji-min into the house.

And not long after, the appearance of the Demonic Castle.

Maseong lay on the bed and closed his eyes quietly.

It made me wonder if I would have died if it hadn’t been for the feeble fluttering of my heart as if I was breathing.

though it’s only been a few months.

In the meantime, the demonic castle was so thin that it was unrecognizable.

Maseong opened his closed eyes to see if he had heard Seo-jun and his party pretend to be coming.

“Did you come… cool!”

“Master!”

Soo-yeon was the first to run out at the demonic appearance.

“haha. Soo-yeon came too… cool cool!”

Maseong couldn’t even say a word and let out a dry cough.

It wasn’t just that he didn’t cough up blood, but he knew how serious the condition was without even saying it.

“Master…”

Seeing Suyeon’s dark expression, Maseong soothed her as if it were okay.

Then he turned around and looked at his companions.

“The dying old man has something to see… Why did you come to

see me …” If everything is fine, can we raise it to see?”

“Youngseong…”

Maseong showed a happy expression at the sight of Youngseong after a long time.

“I heard that you came out again… I thought you wouldn’t come out for the rest of your life…”

“I knew that too. If only some kid hadn’t scolded me.”

At that moment, Maseong and Youngseong’s gaze briefly turned to Seojun.

At the sudden glance, Seo-joon smiled awkwardly.

Maseong said with a small smile.

“Heh heh heh… In front of that young man, even Young-seong couldn’t help it… Cool!”

The expressions on the faces of those who watched continued to harden.

A heavy atmosphere sinking down.

In the meantime, the calm words of spirituality were heard.

“And also to see my granddaughter, which I’ve kept secret for a while.”

Then, the gaze of spirituality turned to one place again.

The place where the gaze of such spirituality stopped was none other than Seoyoon.

Silence between moments.

“to?”

“Eh???”

The eyes of everyone in the room, including Seoyoon, opened wide at the sight of such spirituality.

“Yes yes yes??”

And as if an earthquake had occurred, Seoyoon’s pupils began to shake without rest.

At the secret of her sudden birth, Seoyoon opened her mouth with a puzzled expression.

“That word… Yeo Young-seong is my grandmother…?”

At that moment, the Sword Saint distorted his expression and shouted at Youngseong.

“Do the shit in moderation. Did you lose your mind after being shut up in the mountains for a while?”

Then he said that spirituality was not a big deal.

“That naivety that doesn’t even know how to joke is still the same. I joked a bit to lighten the tense atmosphere.”

“I’m sure he’s lost his mind since he can’t tell the difference between a joke and a joke.”

Sword Master clicked his tongue with a nervous expression.

At the words of the swordsman, Seoyoon’s body staggered as if her legs had lost strength.

“Ha ha ha…”

Fortunately, thanks to Lee Ha-yoon’s hold, he was able to avoid an unfortunate accident.

“Grandpa… Oh no…?”

“Do you really think that makes sense?”

It was only then that Seoyoon was able to calm down.

And maybe it’s because of the arguing between colleagues?

Or, like the words of spirituality, the atmosphere is relaxed.

“Chuck. You guys haven’t changed at all… chuckles!”

As if recalling the past cataclysm, Demonic Castle laughed out loud even in the midst of critical illness.

Maseong burst into laughter like that, caught his breath for a moment, and slowly opened his mouth.

“I am a body that should have died right away… However, thanks to a young man and a handyman, I have been able to live this pitiful life until now.”

“Patience.”

The murmur of Mancheol leaking out.

Maseong smiled slightly and turned his head to look at Seojun.

“I heard what you did in Italy. To be honest… I once again considered your behavior as a guest.”

The devil continued to speak as if muttering.

“Actually, I was afraid. Whenever death approaches, I hear the worry first. What will happen to the world after I die… I was so afraid.”

Maseong slowly turned his gaze to look at Sword Master and Spirituality.

And, as if understanding the demonic words, the expressions of Sword Sung and Young Sung slightly hardened.

Maseong said as if he were asking the two of them.

“But now I am not afraid. past decades. I couldn’t get rid of this darkness that hung over a corner of my heart, but I realized how unfounded my worries were…”

Then, Maseong slowly turned his gaze to look at Seojun.

Although his energy was weakened due to a serious illness,

there was a certain firm faith in the two demonic eyes looking at him.

“Even if I’m gone, isn’t there someone here who will succeed us?”

Along with Maseong’s words, Sword Sung and Young Sung’s gaze simultaneously turned to Seo Jun.

The five heroes of cataclysm representing Korea.

The eyes of three of them were directed only to Seo-jun.

Each of them had different meanings in their eyes.

Seo-joon only made an awkward expression.

Maseong looked at Seojun and spoke slowly.

“Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you so much for allowing me to leave without worry.”

The devil slowly closed his eyes and murmured.

“I really wanted to tell you this…”

Then no more words were heard.

“Master!”

“are you okay. It’s just that you fell asleep for a while.”

Along with Suyeon’s startled cry, Jung Ji-min’s voice was heard.

“You don’t have much energy, but you talk too much.”

Soo-yeon looked at the demonic castle again with a contemplative face.

And he let out a sigh of relief at the small, throbbing demonic chest.

Then, as if sorting out the situation, Jung Ji-min took a step forward and said.

“Master needs to rest, so let’s all go out. Oh, and Grandpa Geomseong and Grandpa Youngseong.”

At Jung Ji-min’s call, Geomseong and Young-seong stopped walking for a moment.

“Can I talk to you for a minute?

And at the words of Jeong Ji-min, the two nodded slowly.

Seeing the two of them, Jung Ji-min looked at Seo-joon this time and said.

“And you too.”

“yes? me too?”

“okay.”

Jung Ji-min nodded calmly.

Seojun also nodded and moved on.

#

The place we moved to was a small room that looked like a reception room.

When Seo Jun, Geomseong, and even Youngseong all entered, Jeong Ji-min quietly closed his eyes.

Then, a wave of mana spread throughout the waiting room.

It seemed that the silence magic was applied to prevent the sound from leaking out.

After a while, Jung Ji-min opened his mouth.

“Master… probably won’t last more than a week.”

At Jung Ji-min’s words, Seo-joon thought for a moment.

I thought maybe I could save the demonic nature with an elixir.

Many of the elixirs sold at the transcendent shop had a recovery effect, such as an elixir.

Although they are imitations, they are nonetheless made by transcendentalists.

Those elixirs might be able to cure the demonic nature now.

Unfortunately, however, the items in the transcendent shop were strictly prohibited from being used by anyone other than himself.

Items for which transfer and secondary sales are strictly prohibited.

Jormungandr’s deadly poison was possible because its purpose was right, but the elixir was not.

I don’t know, but the moment Seo-jun fed the elixir, the demonic nature would die.

As I was shaking off my regretful heart, I heard Jung Ji-min’s voice again.

“But I intend to save Master somehow. so… Could you help me a little?”

Geomseong and Youngseong nodded very gently at Jung Ji-min’s words.

No matter how they fell apart, the five heroes of Cataclysm were all colleagues who shared the joys and sorrows of difficult times.

One such colleague dies.

Even though they looked calm, it was clear that the feelings of the two would not be so comfortable.

At the nod of the two heroes, Jung Ji-min looked at Seo-joon and said.

“I wonder if it’s right to ask you this, but… save our master. I… I’ll pay you anything.”

Jung Ji-min asked Seo-joon with a desperate expression.

Seo-joon nodded without hesitation.

From the moment he saw the demonic state, Seo-joon was willing to help even if it wasn’t for money.

The question is, how do you save the devil?

Seo-joon asked Jung Ji-min in a sudden thought.

“Have you contacted Uiseong?”

Uiseong (medicine star).

Korea’s representative five heroes of the cataclysm, and a witch doctor who says that anyone can be revived as long as they don’t die.

Such onomatopoeia might be able to cure the demonic condition.

But Jung Ji-min shook his head and said.

“I tried to contact him right away, but… I can’t get in touch with Grandpa Uiseong.”

Then, as if he knew that, Sword Sung and Young Sung opened their mouths.

“Somehow, the onomatopoeia didn’t show up.”

“Since when have you not been contacted?”

Jung Ji-min let out a small sigh and replied.

“Not long ago. And actually… Master doesn’t want to die.”

Of course, what kind of life in the world would want to die, but Jung Ji-min’s words did not mean that.

To be precise, it meant that life is not without lingering attachments, as Maseong said just now.

It is said that he has been since he accepted none other than Soo-yeon as his disciple.

Until Soo-yeon can play an active role as a full-fledged wizard.

He said he still had a lot to teach me, said that he had to stay by my side until then, and that he had the will to live.

Jeong Ji-min said that he would teach Su-yeon every time, but Ma-seong laughed and said this.

‘Soo-yeon is also Soo-yeon… but I miss her. It’s about changing the world because of someone. Even though me and my colleagues couldn’t… heh heh heh.’

Meanwhile, Jung Ji-min looked at Seo-joon slightly.

“So Master went to visit Uiseong’s grandfather.”

After explaining the circumstances, it is said that he was constantly receiving confirmation of the condition of the disease from Uiseong.

and a few weeks ago.

“Grandpa Uiseong said he found a way to cure Master’s illness.”

Uiseong, a witch doctor who says he can revive anyone as long as he doesn’t die.

Uiseong was finally able to find a way to cure demonic illness.

But it wasn’t easy.

Medicine is also medicine, but it is said that not only various rare herbs were needed, but also a decision comparable to elixir.

Some of them were so rare that they were not sold on the auction house.

Precisely, it was difficult to approach hunters who did not reach the level as those that only came out of higher-level dungeons.

In addition, the collection method was also difficult and could not be obtained without a high degree of professional knowledge.

So Uiseong said he would go get them himself.

“I haven’t been able to contact you until now…”

So ended Ji-min Jeong’s explanation.

and.

‘This…’

Seo-joon couldn’t hide the strange feeling of deja vu.

The tricks of the Jinrihoe to get rid of none other than the heroes of the cataclysm.

Since I only heard the situation from Jung Ji-min, nothing was certain yet.

But for some reason Seo-joon couldn’t shake that feeling.

Sure enough, Youngseong was also looking at Seojun with a strange expression.

sinking silence.

In the meantime, Jung Ji-min spoke to Seo-joon in an earnest tone.

“Together… can you find a grandpa in Uiseong?”

#

After Jeong Ji-min’s request, Seo-joon went straight out of Maseong’s house.

I didn’t tell my teammates and Mancheol.

Swordsmanship and Spirituality also did not accompany them.

It was also because Seo-jun was thinking of going straight to the branch of Jinrihoe located in Korea.

To be precise, he wanted to meet Calia.

Calia, successor to the Apostle of Purity.

She wasn’t a person he could meet because he wanted to meet her, but

Seo-joon was thinking of calling her out even if he had to turn over the Jinrihoe branch.

With the work of the last spirituality to Andrea in Italy.

For some reason, Jinrihoe was trying to get rid of the heroes of the cataclysm.

And with Jung Ji-min’s explanation about the onomatopoeia this time, Insight [S] poured out new possibilities.

It was literally just a possibility, but it was necessary to meet Calia in order to determine the authenticity of that possibility.

So Seo-joon went to visit the Jinrihoe branch alone without telling others.

It was then that Seo-joon was heading to the Jinrihoe branch.

stop.

Seo-joon stopped walking for a moment as he suddenly felt caught in Chiron’s senses.

Then he looked in one corner and said.

“What are you guys doing all of a sudden?”

At Seo-jun’s words, three people walked out from where Seo-jun was looking.

Garam Guild Master Jung Yoon-mi.

Master Lee Seong-min of the Shinhwa Guild.

Do Min-seok, the master of the Mugunghwa Guild.

They were none other than the heads of the five major guilds in Korea.

The main axis of a huge cartel called Korea’s five largest guilds, and

the rulers who reign over the professional hunter world while maintaining the cartel for decades.

Ryu Jin-cheol of the Black Dragon and Han Man-cheol of the father of a fight, who was destroyed by Seo-joon in the last pro-hunter test, were nowhere to be seen.

“Your senses are quite sharp.”

“Is this your first time seeing this?”

Soon after, they showed up and had a slightly surprised look on their faces.

It seems like they didn’t know that Seojun would find them first.

Among the S-class Hunters, they were among the top-ranked.

Those who have not only skills that are unmatched anywhere, but also those who have that status.

“I’d like to talk to you for a minute.”

They said they wanted to talk to Seo-jun.

However, Seo-jun threw his gaze once and turned his head away as if he was not interested.

“I don’t know why you came here, but I’m busy right now. Let’s talk later.”

Then, without hesitation, he moved on.

“Would you regret it if you left like that?”

Despite the words that followed, Seojun did not stop walking.

It’s a useless story at least…

“Weren’t you looking for an onomatopoeia?”

stop.

Seo-joon had no choice but to stop without realizing it.

Then he slowly turned his head.

“…… It wasn’t Jinrihoe, but you guys?”

At Seo-jun’s question, the three of them smiled meaningfully at the same time.

Then Minseok Do of Mugunghwa took a step forward and said.

“Well? That’s it…”

That moment.

Flash!

Suddenly, a light burst from Seo-joon.

And the appearance of Seo-joon who disappeared in an instant.

“Suddenly what…?”

Seeing Seo-jun like that, the three of them simultaneously expanded their senses.

However, despite the feelings of the top S-class hunters, Seo-joon’s presence could not be seen or felt.

The moment I was so flustered.

Kwajik!

Suddenly, an eerie sound came from the side, and Do Min-seok, who had spat out the words, flew through the air.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Then an explosion exploded as it crashed into a wall in the distance.

Before long, Do Min-seok is drooping.

After that, Do Min-seok did not move anymore.

I couldn’t tell if I was fainting or dead.

“What is…?”

“This is this…”

Lee Seong-min and Jung Yoon-mi were flustered for a moment.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

An inexplicable wave of power erupted from Seo-jun’s body.

A terrible energy that seemed to force the entire world to surrender.

“You guys are definitely crossing the line.”

Seo-joon’s cold voice flowed through the gap.
