I Became a Student at the Transcension Academy - Chapter 23
Chapter 23 – Little Wings (2)
Kim Seo-joon never collapses.
Explosive cheers echoed throughout the arena.
The scouts each looked at the scene with a shocked look on their faces, and
everyone stood up and shouted with excitement.
here now In the minds of countless people gathered here, ‘Kim Seo-joon’.
There was only this name engraved on it.
And Seoyoon had no reason to be so different from them.
‘How…!’
Seoyoon was in a daze.
No, I couldn’t believe what I had just seen.
That would be the case, and what Lee Jun-hwan showed was definitely an aura sword.
Let’s leave aside how the students can use the aura sword.
However, I couldn’t understand what Seojun showed me no matter what standard I put.
‘At that time, obviously…’
Seoyoon recalled the image of Seojun collapsing, unable to withstand the sword containing his mana, in the last sparring with Seojun.
Just two weeks ago, I couldn’t handle a sword containing mana, but now I’m getting an aura sword…
That was then.
“Nonsense… nonsense…!”
Someone’s voice penetrated Seoyoon’s ears.
It’s normal if you can’t hear it properly because it’s buried in the shouts, but somehow the voice came through clearly.
And it was an unusual voice.
The scene Seo-joon saw was so unbelievable, and being surprised like that was a natural reaction in a way.
Even so, Seoyoon turned her head in the direction the sound came from without even realizing it.
And after confirming its identity, Seoyoon couldn’t help but be slightly surprised.
‘That person…?’
He was none other than before.
It was because he was a man in a black hood who bet a large sum of money on Seo-jun at a gambling house.
“How…! This… this can’t happen!!!”
The man in the black hood shouted in succession, not knowing that his hood was off.
No, he didn’t care at all about the gazes around him and looked at Seo-joon with a shocked expression on his face.
As if it would never change.
No, seeing the truth that should never change is broken.
Seoyoon tilted her head slightly without even realizing it.
The sight Seo-jun saw was astonishing, but the reaction of the black hood was excessive even for such a thing.
Seoyoon turned her head again, feeling a sense of pride for some reason.
Then suddenly, Seoyoon felt something strange.
‘But that person…’
Didn’t Seojun say he would win?
Seoyoon tilted her head and looked at the man in the black hood again.
But when I looked again, the man in the black hood was gone.
trudge.
Seo-joon’s footsteps as he walked out of the arena were somewhat weak.
It was also to blame for pouring out all the strength in the fierce battle with Lee Jun-hwan, but in fact, the biggest reason was separate.
It was because none other than Seojun was disqualified.
That would be true, too. Looking at the facts, what Seo-joon did was a clear violation of the rules.
It is said that Lee Jun-hwan’s actions crossed the line, but Lee Jun-hwan has already abstained.
Moreover, it was a situation where Seo-joon suddenly entered the match, not a formal match.
The referee warned Seo-jun about his behavior, but it was none other than Seo-jun who ignored him.
Excluding the situation, looking at the facts, there was nothing that Seojun did well.
Of course, Lee Jun-hwan also did nothing well, so he was disqualified like Seo-jun.
Although there was a declaration of abstention in the first place.
In addition, Lee Jun-hwan was punished separately for using the Aura Sword.
Even so, putting mana into a weapon was a risky move.
In particular, I could only think that the Aura Sword had the intention of killing the opponent.
At least it was a competition, and since Seo-jun won, he did not go to criminal punishment, but within the association, he was disqualified from taking the pro-hunter exam for the next five years.
So Jun-Hwan Seo and Jun-Hwan Lee were disqualified, and Chul-Min Lee, who went up to the bye in this contest, won the championship.
In addition, Lee Min-gi, who had a high score in the first competition, came in second place.
An ironic result came out that Jang Deok-cheol finished in 3rd place.
‘But what…’
Even so, Seo-joon did not regret it.
Rather, if it had not been there, if Lee Jun-hwan had left it as it was.
It would have been more regrettable, Seo-jun thought.
< Chiron lecture progress rate +15% (48.7%) >
< Sakyamuni lecture progress rate +5.2% (12.1%) >
< Hangwu lecture progress rate +20% (56.9%) >
And the lecture progress rate rose explosively in the confrontation with Lee Jun-hwan.
Shakyamuni finally passed 10%, and Chiron was also scheduled to exceed 50% soon.
And the progress of the Hangu River that has passed 50%.
Come to think of it, it was at the time of the last clash with Lee Jun-hwan.
The strange power that Seo-joon felt was probably caused by the fact that the progress rate of Hang-woo’s lecture exceeded 50%.
And it is a self-evident fact that the higher the progress rate, the more room there is for lectures.
‘Maybe I can afford another lecture.’
In a sense, it could be said that it was the best course of action.
The academy competition ended like that.
There was a big incident, but it was not much known to the public.
Since it was a competition in the 4th division, not many people paid attention.
“Seojun!”
As I was thinking about this and that, I heard a voice calling Seo-jun from somewhere.
When I turned my head in the direction from which the sound came, I saw a neat beauty with long black hair.
He couldn’t recognize her at once because the hat was pressed down tightly, but Seo-joon quickly knew that she was Seo-yoon.
“Ah, Mr. Seoyoon.”
Seeing Seoyoon hurriedly running towards him, Seojun unknowingly smiled shyly.
“The body. How are you feeling? Are you not hurt?”
As they got closer to a certain extent, Seoyoon asked Seojun with a worried expression.
And at the sight of Seoyoon worrying about nothing else, for some reason, Seojun laughed for some reason.
“yes. As you can see it’s fine. Even so, the body is quite strong.”
When Seo-joon spoke while jumping lightly, Seo-yoon smiled softly as if he was relieved.
Seo-jun looked at Seo-yoon’s face and said cautiously.
“That… I’m sorry, Mr. Seoyoon.”
“yes? What?”
At Seo-jun’s sudden words, Seo-yoon made a puzzled expression for a moment.
As Seoyoon looked at Seojun, Seojun slowly opened his mouth.
“I was able to win, but I came forward for no reason…” It
was only then that Seoyoon could understand Seojun’s words.
Seoyoon shook her head as if asking what she was talking about.
“Oh, what else am I saying? no. Seojun, why are you sorry? I have nothing to be sorry for. Rather, Seojun, are you okay?”
“yes? Why me?”
“Looking at it then, it seemed that you had regrets about the prize money. Wasn’t it?”
“ah…?”
Seo-joon’s mind went blank for a moment.
I was distracted by the progress of the lecture and forgot about it, but now that I think about it, there was a prize money of 100 million won.
And that was the amount needed to purchase the Spear of Longinus sold at the Transcendent Academy.
However, as the team was disqualified, the prize money of 100 million won also evaporated.
“…”
Seo-joon couldn’t bear to say that it was okay, even if it was just empty words.
Seeing Seo-jun like that, Seo-yoon shook her head and said.
“You were going to buy a weapon with the prize money, right?”
“uh…? How does Seoyoon know about that?”
“no wonder. They said it was strange from the time she was carrying that weird iron bar…”
Seoyoon continued with an expression that said everything went well.
“Speaking of which, what can I do with that iron bar? Do you have any special reason for carrying it? Is it made of a special alloy…”
“No. It’s not like that… Is there anything in particular to be concerned about?”
“Are you asking because you really don’t know?”
“Is it… a problem?”
Seeing Seo-jun’s expression that he didn’t know anything, Seo-yoon went out for a while and returned.
“You know what it looks like ignoring other people? You guys can win even with a crude iron bar like this. Like this.”
“No no. I never meant to do that. I just…”
“Even if it wasn’t meant to be, the viewer feels that way! And if you don’t have anything special, why are you insisting?”
“I’m not stubborn…”
Seoyoon cut off Seojun’s words as if he didn’t want to hear them.
“That’s Okay. If you go to the academy, change your weapon right away! no. Why don’t we just go buy one now?”
“Now? I don’t have that money.”
“I will buy it for you. Is that okay?”
“Are you Seoyoon? Why is Seoyoon…”
“You worked hard today, and I think it’s just a scholarship instead. If you’re uncomfortable with it, you can think that it’s because our academy’s image will deteriorate if Seo-jun does that.”
At Seoyoon’s resolute words, Seojun had no words to refute.
It was because when he thought about it, he realized how stupid his actions were.
In fact, Seo-jun thought of using the Longinus spear, but other weapons did not come into his mind.
So, the original plan was to receive a prize money of 100 million and buy a weapon from the transcendent academy, but the situation has already gone wrong.
Now is the time to save money to repurchase the free pass.
I didn’t know when I would collect 100 million, so there was no reason to insist on sticking with iron bars until then.
“Then… pick the expensive one.”
“yes yes. So, please, remove that useless iron bar from your eyes.”
While doing so, Seoyoon trembled as if seeing a disgusting insect.
Seoyoon’s appearance was so funny that Seojun burst into laughter.
That’s when Seo-jun and Seo-yoon try to move their steps again.
“brother!! Seojun hyung!!”
I heard the sound of Seo-joon calling from somewhere.
Their heads turned at the same time, and Min-gi was running toward Seo-joon and Seo-yoon in a huff.
Seoyoon pushed her hat even tighter.
However, Min-gi approached and did not even look at Seo-yoon.
“That… are you leaving now?”
Looking at Min-gi, he was quite scruffy.
His face was haggard and his clothes were filthy.
“To do so.”
Seo-joon had a lot to say, but he swallowed them all.
Seeing Seo-joon like that, Min-gi hesitated for a moment.
That… Bro.
Then, as if making a big decision, he opened his mouth.
“If I do… can I become like you?”
Seojun quietly raised his eyes and looked at Mingi.
And after thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth.
“well. Maybe it will be difficult.”
At Seojun’s words, Mingi as well as Seoyoon, who was listening quietly, looked surprised.
In fact, Min-gi’s talent was quite insufficient to become a professional hunter in this era.
Of course, there is nothing you can’t do if you work hard, but the reality was not so easy to mention only dreams and ideals.
“So don’t get too hung up on Hunter. Because you can do other things well. No need to be too disappointed. You are still young.”
“…I guess that’s what it is.”
Mingi laughed bitterly as if he knew.
“I came to say my last goodbye. Thank you bro.”
Min-gi turns his back and leaves.
And Seo-joon looked at Min-gi’s back and said.
“You said you couldn’t. never listen to me Either my words or anyone else’s words.”
tall.
Min-gi stops walking.
“It’s human psychology to feel sick to your stomach when others do well.”
Seo-joon said to Min-gi.
“You have no talent. that’s right. This is an undeniable fact. So when people see you, they’ll say you won’t be able to you won’t be.”
Mingi slowly turns his head.
Seojun’s next words.
“But keep in mind. Someone else’s opinion doesn’t become your reality. if you want something Do what you want. That’s all it takes.”
“Hyung…”
Mingi’s eyes trembled severely.
Seojun looked at Mingi and smiled softly.
When he first saw Min-gi, Seo-joon felt like he was seeing himself in the past.
Maybe that’s why Seo-joon didn’t kick Min-gi out of the maze. I suddenly had a thought.
“Again… can we meet again?”
“I don’t know.”
Seojun smiled.
“But I wonder if there’s anything I can’t meet?”
Mingi laughed and shouted.
“yes! Yes! There’s nothing I can’t meet! There is nothing I can’t do!”
At that moment, Min-gi hurriedly left the seat, probably thinking that he was embarrassed to see himself shouting like a child.
When I thought I was a certain distance away, Min-gi turned around and shouted again.
“brother! really cool! Really! I’ll definitely visit you with my sister sometime!”
back up again.
Just like that, Min-gi completely disappeared from Seo-jun’s sight.
“Seo-Jun… You have an unexpected side.”
“It’s a pointless mess.”
“That’s a really cool outing.”
Seoyoon showed a pleasant smile.
“Have you got a fan more than that?”
“From Seoyoon’s point of view, it would have been better to be a student rather than a fan. After all, I will introduce our dream academy.”
Seo-jun lightly responded to Seo-yoon’s joke and moved slowly.
However, Seoyoon only stared blankly at Seojun’s back.
Seoyoon didn’t know the reason yet.
‘Our academy…’
Those words made me feel good.
A flower garden in an antique tile-roofed house.
An old man was walking briskly there.
He didn’t have a right arm, but his gait didn’t shake as if he was quite familiar with that fact.
Briskly walking, he stopped in front of the door of a room.
Then he asked the waitress.
“Did the lord of the door be inside?”
“yes. However, since he is meditating, he told me not to let anyone in.”
“It’s urgent, so let me know I’ve come.”
“Ha ha…”
“It would be quicker for me to tell you myself.”
The elderly man strode into the room, leaving the helpless employee behind.
Upon entering, I saw a simple room and a haggard old man sitting cross-legged in the center.
He knelt down at the old man and said.
“Lord Moon. This is Mooncheol Seo.”
“I’m sure no one told me not to come in…”
said the cool old man.
“Are you ignoring my words?”
At the same time, a tingling life that runs through the nape of the neck.
Seomuncheol swallowed and said.
“The lady said that she participated in the academy competition this time.”
flash
And with those words, the old man opened his eyes.
The old man said, reaping the momentum he had scattered.
“Academy competition? You mean Seoyoon?”
“yes. I’m still figuring out the details… but it looks like we’ve recruited new students.”
“Hmm…”
The old man raised his hand and stroked his long white beard.
Seo Mun-cheol was well aware that this was what he did when he was in a very bad mood.
“I will handle it on my own.”
“no.”
The old man… no, the sword star slowly rose from his seat.
and said
“I’ll have to see what kind of guy he is.”
