I Became a Student at the Transcension Academy - Chapter 22
Chapter 22 – Small flap of wings (1)
The sudden intrusion of Seo-joon made the surroundings instantly quiet.
Then there was a buzz and people started to question the current situation.
< Ah... what's the situation? Suddenly, a mysterious person... >
“Student Kim Seo-joon! What are you doing!”
Only the referee grasped the situation and stopped Seo-joon.
But Seojun didn’t listen. I couldn’t even hear it.
He just kept his eyes open and spoke to Lee Jun-hwan.
“Take it away.”
“what?”
“Clean it up.”
Lee Jun-hwan put on a puzzled expression for a moment at Seo-jun’s sudden words.
Then, realizing the meaning of the words, he responded with a vicious smile.
“Ah… you mean you’re stepping on this bug right now?”
“That foot. I told you to clean it up.”
Ssik Lee Jun-hwan smiled even deeper.
And woo woo woo.
“What if you don’t like it?”
Whoop!
Without hesitation, Seo-jun retrieved the iron bar and threw it at Lee Jun-hwan.
Kang! Cacan!
“This bastard…!”
Lee Jun-hwan blocked Seo-jun’s attack, but Seo-jun’s attack was not easy to block with one foot fixed.
Tadak Lee Jun-hwan let go of the foot that had stepped on Min-gi and took a big step back.
Seo-joon looked at Min-ki, who was lying on the ground, leaving Lee Jun-hwan behind.
Dirt and dust all over your face.
Seo Seo-jun hyung…
Something transparent was flowing through the dust.
Seojun stood up from his seat. Then he glared coldly at Lee Jun-hwan and said.
“Is it good to look down and laugh at people like that?”
“I thought you were going to be something…”
Lee Jun-hwan continued with a twist on his face.
“Don’t you pretend to be on the same wormy subject? Because it’s so damn annoying.”
However, Seo-joon asked without any change in expression.
“Why?”
“what?”
“I asked what is the reason for trampling on people to this extent.”
Then Lee Jun-hwan burst into laughter.
“It’s disgusting. I don’t even know the subject, I’m going to have a good time. If it breaks, it will be long like a bug, how dare you?”
“Can’t bugs even dream?”
“what? dream? Did you just say it was a dream?”
Lee Jun-hwan suddenly giggled to himself and burst into laughter as if he couldn’t stand it.
“Puhahahahahaha! Hey… Does anyone still say such nonsensical things in this day and age?”
Then he asked with a puzzled expression.
“Are you saying that anything is possible if you just try?”
“What else can’t be done?”
“Puhahahahaha!”
Lee Jun-hwan burst out laughing for a while before saying,
“It’s buggy. I’ll tell you what the world is in particular. It’s a world where those who can’t do it and those who can can become it. okay?”
“…”
“Have you ever heard of a ladder? A means for the worms below to rise above. That’s a good word. But what do you think it would be like if a bug like that climbed up the ladder?”
Lee Jun-hwan smiled and said.
“That bug won’t build a new ladder for the next bug. Kick off the ladder you climbed up on. I mean, other guys can’t come up. that’s a person That is the world.”
“…”
“I have to trample on others to survive. There is nothing like a dream in the process. There are only those who can and those who can’t. Do you understand the world now?”
Seo-joon looked at Lee Jun-hwan, who was actually laughing, without saying a word.
actually.
Seo Jun also did not differ much from Lee Jun-hwan’s thoughts.
the past 9 years.
The long time that Seo-joon endured while preparing to become a pro hunter.
Seo-joon had to face so many worlds and walls of reality.
Talented people are trying to bring in even if the academy gives them a scholarship.
Those with money could buy the talent even if they didn’t have it.
But people like Seo-jun, who had neither talent nor money, could literally neither become nor become anything.
Efforts maintained the status quo, but did not lead to a better situation.
So Seo-joon thought that this world was originally created that way.
And even now, that thought has not changed.
However, if there is one thing that has changed since then…
“Don’t talk recklessly.”
Seo-joon took a turbulent step.
It was a lecture of Shakyamuni not too long ago.
[Do you think the world you live in really exists?]
At the time, Seo-joon shook his head.
It’s a start again.
A lecture that makes this guy lose his mind.
That was all Seojun thought.
[What is the world around you? Soseung was a human in the dimension of Earth. And there were those who followed the small monk in the dimension of this earth.]
[Today, I want to start by telling the realization that a middle school student gave to the small monk.]
The story of Shakyamuni that followed was the story of the skull of Great Monk Wonhyo, which we commonly know.
Grand Master Wonhyo became very thirsty during the night and while looking for water, he drank water from a nearby gourd.
It was so sweet that I slept comfortably, and even the next morning, when I checked the water in my thoughts, it was actually contained in the skull. the story called.
[He told the story to the small monk, ‘It all depends on the mind.’ He confessed his realization. However, the small monk thinks differently.]
[It is an illusion created by your imagination, not your mind.]
[What he drank was water. However, the moment you wake up in the morning and give the value of ‘skeleton’. He was starting to think he was disgusting. What he drank didn’t change, but he felt that way.]
[Let’s expand on this a little bit. So is this world. All the things that make up this world are just the values you have given.]
[If you draw a line on the land and give it value, you will have patriotism on that land, and if you gather materials to build a building and give it value, it becomes a cultural asset.] [
But What is its essence?]
[If the value you gave disappears, it is just a tree, land, wind, and water.] [
However, we are sad when the tree is damaged, and angry and distressed when there is an abnormality in the ground.]
[ Even though the essence is no different from the trees and the ground on the side road that you casually pass by.] [
In the end, no matter how important and cherished you are, any thoughts. Everything exists only as an illusion in your head. The moment you give meaning to it, the fake becomes real.]
[I’ll ask again. Do you think the world you think really exists?]
[Everything in the world around you is an illusion. The illusion you created.]
[Then why are you locked up in that illusion and suffering and suffering?] [
What do you suffer so much for and what do you live for?]
[When we listen to a song, we hear the ending of the song . I don’t listen to songs to hear If so, we would only find songs that end the fastest.]
[And beings as well. Existence has no purpose or result. Existence fulfilled its purpose at the moment you were born.]
[Existence neither wants nor desires any process or outcome. It just fulfills its purpose as an existence.]
[But what are the words you have been hearing? try to succeed Give your all to illusions. Didn’t you come after hearing these words?]
[The small monk is not saying that it is bad. I just want to ask.]
[Aren’t you feeling like you’re missing something?]
[Now, your song is playing.]
[Will you run to see the end of the song? Or will you hum along to that song?]
[That’s your choice and decision. But keep one thing in mind.]
.
.
.
[That no one survives in this world anyway…]
The talents given to people are different.
That’s why there are few things more miserable than clinging to something you shouldn’t even try.
Many times I hesitated while watching the people ahead.
I can’t explain in words the feeling when you can’t even reach the tip of their toes even if you grab their legs and run.
The misery of oneself who has become only this also destroys oneself.
Only then do you find yourself comparing yourself to others.
I can feel the eyes of others and see myself unable to stand in front of people.
The regret of what would have happened if I had done something else right away comes flooding in.
Then suddenly I’m afraid of how long I can do this job.
I wonder if it can really be. I wonder if it can happen again.
So many people get frustrated in front of reality.
“How is that?”
But that’s no reason to be insulted.
No, no one deserves to be insulted.
Maybe not. You may be frustrated.
If you just have a reason to do it, if you have a reason to want to do it, that’s enough.
At least Seo-joon now thinks so.
“It’s not something you and the like can talk about and evaluate.”
That’s why Lee Jun-hwan crossed the line for a long time.
It is said that as much as it hurts, it matures, but sometimes some scars remain as scars forever.
Seo-joon was so angry about that.
tadak.
“Student Kim Seo-joon!! It’s against the rules! Stop!”
The warning of the referee heard at the same time as he spurred on the ground.
However, Seo-joon did not reap the iron bar he had raised.
Caang!
And Lee Jun-hwan, who easily blocks Seo-jun’s attack.
“It’s crazy and it’s crazy. On the subject of bugs.”
“You are really spoiled.”
Seo-joon scattered his attacks without hesitation, and Lee Jun-hwan swung his sword against Seo-joon.
Caang! Kang! Kakak!
The metal was tangled and shook, and sparks flew.
A fierce battle in which no one backs down.
‘Definitely different from Jang Deok-cheol.’
Seo-joon was able to personally experience Lee Jun-hwan’s skills.
To be honest, when I faced Deokcheol Jang, I didn’t feel very threatened or nervous.
To put it exaggeratedly, it felt like I would never lose.
But now…
Seo-joon closed his mind and heart. It is a luxury to think like this.
as it flows as the senses move.
Wedge liquid!
Kang!
‘This guy…!’
On the other hand, Lee Jun-hwan was embarrassed.
To be honest, Lee Jun-hwan thought that there would be no opponent for him here.
To put it a little more honestly, Lee Jun-hwan was confident that he would win even if he fought halfway pro hunters.
But this guy named Kim Seo-joon who suddenly jumped out…
Kang!
Fuck!
“Cheuk!”
Lee Jun-hwan was awakened by the intense pain that surged through his side.
And Seo-jun, aiming for that gap and digging into it.
“Where!”
Kang!
Lee Jun-hwan hurriedly swung his sword to block the attack, and Seo-jun swallowed his regret and took a step back.
lull for a while. The two looked at each other.
“What are you doing now! Stop both!!”
Then again the referee’s warning. The referee came to stop them both.
“Don’t interfere!”
Lee Jun-hwan was angry with such a referee.
Lee Jun-hwan was a predator.
A lord who preys on his prey and reigns over it, a beast of prey in the wild.
When people saw him, he was so busy crawling that he was definitely such a being.
But those eyes.
Why did he see the eyes of a beast like himself in that worm?
Lee Jun-hwan was so annoyed by that.
“under! Anyone can say such nonsense. Let’s see if you can talk like that dog in the face of reality.”
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
When Lee Jun-hwan burst mana, tremendous momentum poured down on Seo-joon.
And pak!
Kang!
“Keugh!”
Didn’t see.
Seo-jun lifted the iron bar at the sudden feeling of a chill on his spine, and after that, he recognized Lee Jun-hwan’s sword as if it were pressing down on his body.
That was all.
“Can you stop this?”
Lee Jun-hwan smiled viciously and continued to swing his sword.
Kang! Cacan!
Kagak!
It’s hard.
That was what Seo-joon felt while blocking Lee Jun-hwan’s sword.
It’s not for nothing that people praise it. There are definitely different levels of difference.
Kagak! Kagagak!
“Keugh!”
Seojun had no choice but to admit it.
Lee Jun-hwan is better than Seo-jun now.
Seo-joon acknowledged and accepted all the facts and laid down everything of himself.
A state of trance.
Is that why?
< Chiron lecture progress rate +1%... >
< Sakyamuni lecture progress rate +0.1%... >
< Hangwu lecture progress rate +2%... >
Seojun did not recognize himself growing moment by moment in this fight.
On the other hand.
‘This guy…!’
Lee Jun-hwan could not hide his embarrassment.
‘The more I receive the attack, the more proficient I become.’
It feels like watching a monster grow while fighting.
At first, it was difficult to block, but he started to attack, and he was already counterattacking.
And now.
grasp!
“Big!”
“Ouch!”
In the ensuing clash, Seojun and Lee Junhwan groaned and retreated one step at a time.
From the outside, it looks like they exchanged the same attack.
But Lee Jun-hwan knew. That it was none other than himself that was pushed back in the clash just now.
‘I… am I being pushed? Only for a guy like this?’
Nonsense!
Lee Jun-hwan could not bear to admit that fact.
“이 개새끼가!!”
Whoaaaaaagh!
In an instant, Lee Jun-hwan’s tremendous momentum burst out.
The momentum that I can feel even the dark murderous intention that cannot be compared with the one before.
Then, Lee Jun-hwan’s sword began to have bluish energy.
“Oh, a sword?”
“Nonsense! A student using a sword for aura?”
Auror Sword This
is the stage where mana is formed beyond putting the power of mana into a weapon.
That meant using a lot of mana, so its destructive power was indescribable.
“I will kill you!”
Lee Jun-hwan rushes in with a fierce murderous intent with an aura sword.
“Dry! It has to dry!”
“Lee Jun-hwan! Stop right now!”
Officials rushing out to the stadium in a hurry.
Seo-joon looked at the whole scene and thought.
Currently, there was no way for Seojun to win against the Aura Sword.
The only thing that can deal with an aura sword is the same aura sword. At the very least, you must have a weapon containing the power of mana.
However, Seo-jun did not know how to handle mana yet, and the only thing he is holding now is a crude iron bar.
And the attack of the Aura Sword is on a different level from a simple swing of a sword.
This could really be dead.
That’s why it should be avoided. Dodge the attack and run until the officials subdue Lee Jun-hwan.
That was the best and correct course of action in this situation.
But why?
‘…’
Seojun didn’t want to avoid it.
I don’t know.
If I avoided it here and now, I felt like denying everything I had built up until now.
trembling hands.
Seo-joon bit off this.
Even so, a deep hesitation grabs Seo-jun’s ankle and stretches.
Right then.
Hangwoo’s voice penetrated Seojun’s ears like an auditory hallucination.
[Didn’t I tell you the other day when I heard the song of Chu all over the place? Um… one of the students asked me. Why did you go to the enemy camp alone then? Wasn’t the fight over anyway
?
This ancient idiom, which means that the songs of the country of Chu can be heard from everywhere, expressed a hopeless situation.
A word that refers to an isolated state in which all four sides are surrounded by enemies and cannot receive support or help from anyone.
[that’s right. In fact, it was a fight already over. There was no way to survive. Defeat was fixed and there was no way to reverse it. Still, I fought. Why did you do that?]
And Hang-woo was the main character who created that ancient idiom and was the person who personally experienced that hopeless situation.
[belief? Justice? no. don’t be crazy That kind of thing is just an illusion
that has no use for anything.
[Just.]
Just.
[It just had to be.]
In addition, Xiang-wu said that he was scared.
The fact that I could lose was so frightening.
I confess now that it was the first setback I ever experienced.
however.
[Children. Even if defeat is fixed, believe that you will win and attack like crazy.]
Hang-woo fought.
[Even if it has the power to cut through mountains, no one can win without it.]
I lost again.
[That’s right.]
That’s why he.
[That’s fucking fighting spirit.]
I was able to become the king.
Kwaddeuk!
Seo-joon grabbed the bar to break it.
He knew better than anyone that he couldn’t win against an aura sword.
Tadadak!
Seo-joon threw himself at Lee Jun-hwan, who was approaching.
At that moment, something rises from the depths of the heart.
reverse divergence. Power pulls mountains.
spirit world. Momentum covers the world.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
“What is this…!”
Lee Jun-hwan hesitated at the tremendous momentum that erupted from Seo-joon.
At the same time, something pushed from a corner of the heart.
‘I’m… scared?’
Lee Jun-hwan bit into it.
“Do not be ridiculous! I am a predator! Step on bugs like you and stand up! Don’t kill me!!”
The two of them are getting closer at breakneck speed.
“Stop it now! Stop!!”
“What are you all doing! Does anyone really have to die to come to their senses?!”
“Lee Jun-hwan! Seojun Kim! Stop right now!!!”
The people involved in the competition are running like pouring.
However, Seo-joon did not take his eyes off Lee Jun-hwan.
In this wide space, only Lee Jun-hwan could be seen in Seo-joon’s field of vision.
do not avoid don’t run away
Bet everything on this blow and knock it down.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
“죽어!이 개새끼야!!”
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
A massive explosion erupted at the same time as the two collided.
The officials of the competition who were rushing to stand on the spot were in a hurry to catch the aftermath of the explosion.
A thick mist of dust rises.
After some time, the thick dust fog subsided and the view that unfolded was a stadium that had been smashed in a large circle.
And at the center of it, two beings standing in a state of disrepair.
The two stood facing each other.
Everyone held their breath and watched the two of them.
Soon people could see.
dump.
Lee Jun-hwan collapses.
Pak.
Kim Seo-joon endures.
