I Became a Student at the Transcension Academy - Chapter 239

Chapter 239 – Ritual (4)

“You say you know where the Dark Star is? How do you know Amseongnim?”

Seojun opened his eyes in surprise and asked Kwabna.

Although the star of darkness is a hero of the cataclysm,

from Kwabna’s point of view, it was a hero of a foreign country.

Of course, I could have heard of Kwavna’s name.

However, knowing the face of the star of darkness was a different matter.

Didn’t Kwabna even recognize Seo-jun’s face?

In addition, Amseong was a hero whose face was not well known as an assassin hero.

But how does Kwavna have ignorance?

Kwabna has answered.

“That… that’s what I was trying to say. About the Jinrihoe.”

“Did you say Jinrihoe was kidnapping people?”

Kwabna nodded.

And then he spoke in a high-pitched voice.

“It’s true… I was almost dragged away too. I was stuck with people in some strange place, waiting for something. But… with someone’s help, me and a few people were able to escape.”

Did you even think about what happened back then?

Kwabna’s expression was slightly terrified.

Seo-joon asked as if to soothe Kwavna.

“Then the person who helped you…?”

“Yes… You said it was definitely cancerous.”

At Kwabna’s words, Seo-joon calmly thought.

I honestly don’t know what’s going on.

I don’t know why Amseong revealed his identity.

But looking at Kwabna, it didn’t seem like he was lying.

Soon after, Seojun spoke to Kwabna again.

“Can you tell me where it is?”

“It’s not hard to tell you… but it’s probably hard to find. It’s a place where even the villagers get confused…”

Seo-joon nodded slowly.

It was a situation where even the genuine Gungnir was prepared to lose its function.

It wouldn’t be in a place you could easily find.

That’s why Queku and the rebels were in desperate need of help.

But if it’s Kwavna who came back from there…

“Can I ask for guidance if it’s okay?”

This time Kwavna did not answer easily.

Seojun fully understood Kwavna.

It wasn’t easy to go to a place where danger was obvious.

No matter how difficult Seo-joon’s request was, it was difficult.

That’s why Seo-joon put his hand into the kibisis without a word.

Then he took out a handful of diamonds.

A diamond obtained from none other than greed.

It was an amount with a value of several billion.

“Will this be enough for a reward?”

“yes yes?!”

Kwabna’s eyes began to widen.

“Is it too little?”

Seo-jun took out a handful of diamonds worth billions again.

“Oh no! That’s not what I mean…!!”

Kwabna was startled and startled.

Seeing Kwavna like that, Seojun smiled slightly.

It was a diamond worth billions of dollars, but

honestly, it was a cause and effect that didn’t mean much to Seo-joon.

Currently, the tuition for Seo-jun’s advanced lectures is worth a trillion dollars.

Even if it was a mountain of dust,

it was money that did not mean much to Seo-joon right now.

But it wasn’t Kwabna.

It was an amount that could not be seen in a lifetime.

Literally worth billions.

Of course, no matter how much I knew the location of the castle of darkness,

it was an excessive amount in exchange for simply giving directions.

Even so, Seojun did not hesitate.

Sympathy if sympathy.

If you are compassionate, you can be compassionate.

Kwabna dreamed of becoming a professional hunter while taking care of her sick sister without parents.

Seo-jun also said that he had overcome difficult times in the past and

said that he would like to become like Seo-jun someday.

Somehow, it seems that he resembles his past self.

Seojun wanted to help Kwabna.

“What do you want to do?”

Seojun smiled and asked Kwabna.

And wasn’t it a lie when he said he wanted to be like Seo-jun?

in front of billions of diamond piles.

“I’ll do it! I will definitely do it!!”

Kwabna shouted, her eyes flashing.

#

Seojun went straight to the meeting place with his teammates.

It was a long overdue appointment time, but

Seo-joon could see the teammates waiting far away.

The team members who met again like that.

“Seojun! What if you disappear without a word!!”

“brother! I thought you died somewhere else!”

As expected, as soon as he found Seojun, he shouted one word at a time.

Soon after, Seoyoon approached.

Seo-joon smiled shyly and opened his mouth.

“Haha, that’s the circumstances…”

“What the circumstances!”

“That’s why…”

“No, even if circumstances arise, you have to tell us in advance!”

Following this, Seo-yoon’s Seo-joon trembled.

And then he kept his mouth shut.

That would be too.

It was because Seoyoon’s angry expression was very unusual.

“Do you know how worried I was when I knew what had happened to Seo-jun?”

It seemed that saying just one word would only have the opposite effect.

In the end, contrary to Seo-jun’s expectations,

Seo-jun had to listen to Seo-yoon’s nagging.

“I was really really worried…”

“Ha ha ha…”

Seo-joon only smiled awkwardly.

Then he hurriedly changed the subject to avoid further nagging.

“Rather than that, how did you find the information?”

“Oh, that’s… I’ve been wandering around, but this information is…”

This time, Seoyoon made a sullen expression as if she was being nagged.

Seo-joon turned his head and looked at the other team members.

“Neither I…” ”

He said that even God couldn’t find him…”

Suyeon and Hayoon continued.

They, too, had only a gloomy expression on their faces.

And Min-yul’s expression was quite dark, probably the same.

Are you deeply concerned about cancer?

The usual pleasant atmosphere of Minyul was nowhere to be found.

Seojun looked at Minyul and said,

“Don’t worry, Minyul. Because I know where the Dark Star is.”

Then all the team members opened their eyes and looked at Seo-jun.

“The Great Captain…? Am I really?”

Seojun nodded slowly.

Then, he explained in detail what had happened to the team members.

That’s how the explanation ends.

“Three goodies!”

“Did something like that happen, brother?”

“No what…”

The team members looked at Seo-joon with astonished eyes.

“I didn’t even know that…”

Only Seoyoon had a very apologetic expression.

Seo-jun spoke as if to soothe Seo-yoon.

“So I think we should move right now.”

Seo-joon headed back to Kuzan Village with his teammates.

That’s how we arrived at Kuzan Village.

Seo-jun stopped near the entrance of the village and said to Seo-yoon.

“Mr. Seoyoon, if you go over there, Mr. Queku will be there. May I go ahead and ask you to prepare?”

Then, Seoyoon tilted her head and asked.

“That’s not difficult… What about Seojun?”

“I’ll go and get Kwabna.”

Seoyoon’s head tilted once more.

“Kwabna? Oh, is that the child you were talking about earlier?”

“yes.”

Seojun nodded.

Then, Seoyoon nodded as if she understood.

Then, along with his teammates, he headed in the direction Seojun pointed.

After watching the backs of the team members, Seo-joon headed for Kwabna’s house.

Kwabna’s house arrived again like that.

Seo-joon cautiously entered the house.

“Ah, are you here?”

When Seojun appeared, Kwavna greeted him.

Behind Kwavna, Equina could be seen.

“hello!”

Equina greeted Seo-joon,

and somehow her expression was brighter than before.

“I heard everything from you! I heard that you are Kim Seo-joon Hunter!”

As expected, it seemed that Kwabna had heard the situation.

Seojun let out a shy laugh once.

Looking at Seo-jun, Equina’s mouth opened slightly.

“Aaaaaaaaa!”

And pure admiration erupted from that small mouth.

“Hahaha…”

For some reason, Seo-joon felt embarrassed.

Kwavna, who had finished her preparations, slowly rose from her seat.

“Equina, then oppa will come.”

“huh! Have a good day brother! Hunter Kim Seo-joon! Please take good care of my brother!”

Equina’s unique, clear and clean smile.

Seo-joon came out of the house with Kwabna with a light heart.

Seojun and Kwabna trudged.

I headed to the place where the team members and the rebels were.

And how long did it take

“brother. Are you going with the rebels?”

Suddenly, Kwavna asked Seo-jun.

Seojun nodded and replied.

“I’m thinking of that because Mr. Queku is helping me.”

“okay.”

Kwabna nodded once.

And he didn’t ask anymore.

Seeing Kwabna like that, Seo-jun remembered the first time he came to this village.

When I first arrived in this village with Kwabna.

Kwabna had a bad opinion of the rebels.

sudden curiosity.

Seojun asked Kwabna.

“You hate rebels?”

“Honestly.”

Kwabna answered without looking at Seojun.

“why? I don’t know the details, but it seems that Mr. Queku and the rebels are working hard to make the world a better place… Is there any reason to dislike it?”

Then Kwavna stood still.

“That is their position. They are making their own judgments and thinking we need help.”

There was a hint of anger in Kwabna’s eyes.

“Territory political interests. People like us don’t know that. It’s just that we… we just want to live quietly.”

“The government doesn’t care about lowly things like us. It’s just that it’s mana stuff. But because they keep getting entangled with the rebels, they oppress and persecute them.”

“It is like that today. If they hadn’t settled in this town, the monster wouldn’t have cared about it. But they just took their place and said we needed help.”

“Fortunately, I had an older brother, so I went over safely, but if I hadn’t had an older brother…”

Me and Equina and all the people in this village would have been massacred.

Kwabna murmured softly.

And Seojun just stared blankly at Kwavna.

to be honest.

justice and faith

These things were nothing more than trifles in life.

You have to keep your eyes open to see far away.

Because the reality was that I didn’t even have the strength to lift an eyelid

in the midst of hard labor every day .

Therefore, it has always been the share of the powerless and weak to be harmed by noble things.

Isn’t there a saying that the people of a divided country suffer more from those who use the division for political gain

than the division itself ?

But because of that.

It didn’t mean that Queque’s actions weren’t right either.

Because Queque was really a hero who moved for the citizens who were oppressed and suffering from tyranny.

The tyranny and oppression will only intensify if Cuequ does not move.

Someone had to move.

That’s why Kwabna’s feelings.

Cueco’s actions too.

which one is right

Which is bad.

It was something I just couldn’t put into words.

It was just the pain that each person went through in a different position. The bad thing

was the government and Jinrihoe who

created this situation .

So, Seojun did not say anything to Kwabna.

All I could say was this.

“In Korea, where I live, there is a man named Uiseong who is very good at medicine. Perhaps… he might be able to cure your brother’s illness.”

For an instant, Kwabna’s eyes widened.

However, he soon lowered his gaze.

It looked like he was trying hard to dispel expectations that were not allowed to him.

Seo-joon said with a smile.

“After this is over, let’s go to Korea together. Let me tell you once.”

“Really?”

Then Kwavna looked terrified and surprised.

Seojun nodded.

It wasn’t just because he wanted to help Kwabna.

I wanted to stop listening to Uiseong, who is none other than Uiseong, arguing about disciples and disciples.

Do you feel jealous of other heroes raising their teammates?

Uiseong said that every day was far away and came to Seo-joon and begged him to find a disciple.

I still couldn’t figure out why Seo-joon was looking for it… Anyway.

From Seojun’s point of view, Kwabna seemed talented.

Starting from trimming herbs earlier,

he prepared and gave his sister’s medicine.

This was not the kind of thing one could do easily.

From the looks of it, it didn’t seem like they were taught separately.

In the first place, Kwabna could not afford to learn separately.

Of course, it was something to be judged by Uiseong, but

Seo-jun thought that Kwavna would do a great job.

“That… that’s really…”

Kwavna looked at Seo-joon with tears in her eyes.

Seojun grinned and tousled Kwabna’s hair.

Even if the place you are standing now seems like an endless darkness.

There must have been an end to it.

If you live far away,

if you hold on honestly,

a day like a gift will come to you someday. Maybe

that’s why yesterday, which disappeared into the past, is history, and

the future yet to come is a mystery, but

today is called the Present.

“let’s go.”

Seo-joon moved slowly.

“………… your older brother.”

The voice of Kwabna crying came from behind.

And despite all that said,

Kwabna was stuck there for a while and didn’t move.

#

When Seo-jun arrived, the team members, Que-ku, and the rebels were all ready.

“Let’s go right away.”

Seo-joon set off right away without waiting.

That’s how we arrived at Kwabna’s guidance.

It was a diamond mine quite far from the city of Kimberley.

And like Kwabna said, the road was quite complicated.

It seemed to be a place where the South African government secretly mined.

“for a moment.”

Seojun stopped Kwabna, who was walking ahead.

Along with Kwavna, who immediately stopped, Seojun also stopped walking.

Following Seo-jun, Dream Team and Cue-Koo.

And the members of the rebels stopped all at once.

“What are you doing?”

Seoyoon came next to Seojun and asked.

Instead of answering, Seo-joon looked at the scenery of the mine ahead.

The appearance of the mine was a bit heterogeneous, probably because it was the mine that digs the most expensive minerals.

A structure with a large hole hollowed out in the middle, like a sinkhole.

Between the cliffs,

there were several tunnels that looked like snake pits.

Around it, leafless trees grew like sharp fangs.

When the wind passed, the bony branches swayed and made a dreary sound.

Seo-joon quietly raised his gaze and captured it at a glance.

can’t say anything

An indefinable ominousness coiled in its depths.

Seo-jun turned his gaze to look at Que-ku.

Queku met Seo-jun’s gaze and nodded.

Then he shouted in a loud voice.

“Control your surroundings!”

At Queku’s words, the crew began to move in order.

They began to line up like well-trained soldiers, and

soon began to slowly make their way into the realm of the mines.

Seo-jun and his teammates also slowly walked into the mine area.

Sabjak.

The sound of footsteps pressing down on the ground echoes quietly.

A heavy tension sinks like the entrance to the night before the storm.

A silence fell over which no sound could be heard.

Kwabna murmured in a trembling voice.

“This is strange. There must be people working there. This is too…”

There was doubt and fear in his voice.

The two emotions were mixed.

Seojun slowly looked around.

A dry wind brushing my cheeks.

Certainly…

so quiet.

According to Kwabna, at least a few hundred workers were needed here.

But now, there was no sign of anything.

either captured or imprisoned.

It is incomprehensible that hundreds of people do not feel the presence of people.

Even while escaping Seo-jun’s senses.

“Let’s keep going.”

Seo-joon did not stop walking.

So again, one step, two steps.

As soon as you get close to a huge pit that has been hollowed out.

Startle.

Seo-joon suddenly stopped walking at the strange feeling he felt for a moment.

And starting with Seojun.

“What is it…”

“How does this feel?”

The team members and Queku’s expressions hardened.

“What is this…?”

“Suddenly something….”

After that, the members of the rebels made a puzzled expression.

Seojun calmly looked around.

The sun was in the middle of the sky, shining brightly on the mine.

But now.

Seo-joon felt as if he was walking in the dark where he couldn’t see a single light.

An ominous air current covers the entire mine.

Every time I inhaled and exhaled, it felt like my whole body senses were jumbled.

Seo-joon’s sharpened senses become dull as if they have been shaved off.

The senses were entangled.

This could only be explained this way.

“What the hell is this…”

“How did this happen…?”

Not only the members of the crew, but also the teammates and Que-ku were taken aback by that strange sense.

And Seo-jun was not very different from them.

However, the embarrassment Seo-joon felt was of a slightly different kind.

‘This is…’

Seojun calmly traced his memory.

One day… It felt like we had met once.

To be exact, Seo-joon felt something similar to this once.

It was none other than when I visited the transcendent academy.

‘Irina’s senses…?’

It was the feeling when I first encountered a sense of dominance in Irina.

The realm of domination through the senses.

Exactly not allowed,

as if the senses themselves were blocked .

I felt as if I had entered that boundary line.

‘Is this why Gungnir couldn’t find his location?’

That moment.

“Nonsense… nonsense.”

Susan’s voice was suddenly heard.

There, Suyeon was looking at the surroundings with a shocked expression.

“How is this possible…?”

Soo-yeon continued to speak.

“Even if I searched for all the things that can be unfolded through spells or magic through magic circles, there is nothing that can cause a phenomenon like this…”

Before long, magic power burst out of Soo-yeon’s body.

Just like that, the magic circle floated around Suyeon and then disappeared.

Soo-yeon shouted in disbelief.

“This is… not at a level that humans can unfold…”

Suyeon’s voice trembled quite a bit.

Something that is not at a level that humans can unfold.

‘Could it be a twisted being?’

Seojun immediately shook his head.

It is not a twisted being.

Soo-yeon took a magical approach, but

Seo-jun knew that this was not the kind of magic.

Control of space through the senses.

It was the same concept as a kind of territory.

I don’t know if it’s exactly the same, but

it’s very similar to Irina’s senses.

Also, Irina’s senses are EX grade, which cannot be recorded as causality.

The twisted being couldn’t do that.

No matter how much the power of arrogance germinated,

it was only at the level of initiation into the Transcendentalist.

Even that was at an enormous level, but

Irina’s senses were of a kind that even transcendentalists could not do.

Therefore, it is not a distorted existence.

It is a different existence than the twisted one.

someone unknown.

that someone

is still here

Right then.

Aaaaaaaaagh!

A large explosion exploded at the mouth of one side of the mine.
