I Became a Student at the Transcension Academy - Chapter 264
Chapter 264 – The Approaching Battle (1)
It’s late at dawn when only the moonlight rises.
The moonlight was not visible in the sky of Seoul covered with huge gates, but the moonlight was floating alone in the sky and illuminating the world.
It’s late at dawn when everyone is
asleep preparing for a new day to come back after finishing the day.
“Haa-!”
Seoyoon remained at the Dream Team building and wielded a sword.
Hiss! shhh!
Every time Seoyoon swung her sword, a fierce pangong sound erupted.
It was empty space, but
Seoyoon’s sword that cut through space was clawing here and there like the teeth of a ferocious beast.
Wedge!
It was enough to tell at once that it was a swordsmanship that reached a considerable level.
That would also be true, Seoyoon was a talented person who would not be left behind no matter where she went in the world.
No, far from falling behind, he was a professional hunter who was at the forefront. A level that can compete with
not only S-class hunters, but also
heroes of cataclysm.
It was no exaggeration to say that Seoyoon stood at the pinnacle of humanity through numerous experiences and training.
In other words, it has reached its limit in practice.
Therefore, further training was meaningless.
To be precise, the effect that could be obtained with short-term training was insignificant.
“Ha-!”
However, Seoyoon’s swinging sword contained a certain earnestness.
As if to prove such earnestness.
Seoyoon’s whole body and black hair were wet with sweat.
“Haha…! Haha…!”
Her breathing also gradually became rougher, but
Seoyoon did not stop swinging her sword.
I couldn’t stop.
In the meantime, Seoyoon was able to achieve a lot of growth thanks to the elixir sold by Seojun.
Recently, thanks to the mysterious water given by Seo Jun, he was able to achieve explosive growth.
Right after the South African job was done.
The mysterious water suddenly recommended by Seo-jun, saying that it is good for the body.
The taste was delicious, and
strangely, the water was filled with the power of mana.
Seoyoon and her teammates really drank holy water like drinking water, and
thanks to that, they were able to achieve tremendous growth.
Now, it was hard to find a person with more skills than himself anywhere in the world.
the pinnacle of humanity.
The hero of cataclysm that professional hunters aspire to.
Seoyoon was able to enter that state before she knew it.
That’s why it’s okay to take a little bit of time now.
Wedge!
Seoyoon couldn’t stop.
The place Seoyoon wanted to reach was not just a cataclysmic hero.
Because the path I wanted to walk was not a cataclysmic hero.
way with someone.
A way to stand by someone.
He was the one who always looked straight ahead.
It was Seoyoon who wanted to go with her but fell behind every time.
That’s why I want him to look back a little, but
he never looks back.
okay.
he never looks back
You shouldn’t even have to look back.
So I have to stand by him.
Because of that, the team members fell asleep for a long time.
“Haa-!”
Seoyoon remained here and continued to wield her sword.
How much time had passed like that?
dump.
Seoyoon collapsed in her seat exhausted.
A body drenched in sweat.
I wanted to practice a little more, but…
I really didn’t have the strength to lift a finger.
can’t you do anything today
Seoyoon swallowed her regret and caught her breath.
Right then.
Someone was seen in Seoyoon’s field of vision.
It feels like a screw is missing somewhere.
That’s why I feel a strange warmth.
“…… Seojun?”
It was none other than Seojun.
“Haha… I didn’t mean to spy on you.”
Seo-jun shyly scratched the back of his head.
Apparently, he seemed to have been watching Seoyoon practice.
“How long have you been there?”
When Seoyoon asked with a slightly surprised face, Seojun answered right away.
“A little… it’s been. Haha…”
“Then why don’t you call me.”
“I don’t want to disturb you.”
Then, he scratches the back of his head once more…
Seo-joon, who has not really changed at all.
Seoyoon showed a small smile.
Then he slowly got up from his seat.
I didn’t even have the strength to lift a finger until just now.
For some reason it wasn’t like that now.
Seeing Seoyoon like that, Seojun came closer.
Then Seoyoon took a slight step back and said.
“Because this is how I am right now…”
A body drenched in sweat.
Seojun said with an expression that he didn’t care at all.
“I don’t have any problems… but rather, it’s nice, right?”
At the same time, Seojun showed a playful smile.
Seeing Seo-jun like that, Seo-yoon also burst out laughing.
“by the way. Why are you here at this late hour…?”
Then Seo-joon’s expression hardened for an instant.
And then he hesitated for a while.
“I have something to tell you.”
He opened his mouth very carefully.
“To me?”
“yes.”
Seoyoon stared at Seojun as if to tell him to speak.
Seojun paused for a while and then slowly opened his mouth.
“For the time being… I think I need to go somewhere.”
“…… yes?”
And at Seo-jun’s words, Seo-yoon’s head tilted automatically.
Seo-joon’s words that he will go somewhere.
It’s because I didn’t understand the words at once.
It was also true that there were only two weeks left until the Apostle Ceremony.
But in this situation, where is the simple word?
“Where are you going? No, for how long?”
“Probably… I won’t be able to come until the Apostle Ceremony.”
“……”
Seoyoon was momentarily at a loss for words.
stupid mind.
Seoyoon stared blankly at Seojun’s face.
And Seo-jun faced Seo-yoon’s gaze.
“That’s it…”
Seo-joon was just quite at a loss as to how to explain this.
#
Some time ago.
It was when Seo-jun checked the lectures he could take with a free coupon.
“…… Crazy.”
Seojun muttered involuntarily.
That is also the case with numerous notification windows popping up on the smartphone screen.
Because that was really crazy!
A cursory glance revealed that there were 4 EX grades due to Irina’s lecture.
If you add the things you can get from Jecheon Daeseong’s lectures, you can’t count them.
Above all, the secret of the heavenly moon meteor spear.
This was the first SSS grade I’d seen since Unmoving Heart.
And now that the constraints of cause and effect are released.
I was able to take all of these with free coupons.
Even after taking all of them, I still have one coupon left.
“ah…! iced coffee…!”
Seo-joon shook his body as if he had been electrocuted.
[What what is it…?]
[Did he suddenly go crazy? I don’t specialize in psychiatric treatment…]
[I heard that there is a transcendental person called Zeus who handles lightning… Did he even get hit by that lightning?] The
three transcendentalists looked at Seo-joon’s crazy appearance strangely. .. well anyway.
To Seo-joon, such gaze was not important at all.
“Ahhh…!!!”
Because I was really going crazy!
Seo-jun’s trembling body did not fade.
What stopped Seo-joon’s crazy behavior?
< But there is a big problem. >
It was when I heard the words of none other than my mentor.
For an instant, Seo-jun’s body suddenly stopped.
gaze.
There, the mentor was making a slightly troubled expression.
Seeing the mentor’s expression like that, Seo-joon felt his heart sink.
Could it be… Did the Observer cheat again?
it could have been enough
There are only 4 lectures from Irina that Seojun wants to listen to.
Considering that Jecheon Daeseong’s bundled lecture last day was about 1,000, I couldn’t imagine how much Irina’s lecture was.
Even if the cause and effect of all dimensions were integrated, the burden would be a burden.
Seojun looked at the mentor with a trembling gaze.
And did he even notice Seo-jun’s thoughts?
The mentor shook his head slightly and answered.
< It's not like you think. The Watcher is almost half mad right now? He was talking gibberish all by himself... >
Mentor shuddered, as if he had recalled the image of an observer.
This time, he couldn’t blame anyone for what he did.
Anyway, I didn’t think it was an observer problem.
“Then why…?”
< Actually, it's a matter of time. >
“Time…?”
< Yes. >
The mentor gave a small nod and continued immediately.
< You can't learn all these things. To be precise, you can’t learn within Kim Seo-joon’s time. >
“Ah.”
And at the words of such a mentor, Seo-joon was able to correctly recognize what the problem was.
To put it simply, there wasn’t much time left for Seo-joon.
To put it in a little more detail, Seo-joon is two weeks when the ceremony is held.
I had to work everything out in it.
In a word, Seo-joon has only two weeks left.
< Time is so tight. >
I couldn’t take all of those lectures in that time.
No, I wondered if I could properly complete even one, let alone all of them.
No matter how fast Seo-joon grows.
Because there are definite limits.
To put it bluntly, it took almost a year to complete one Cheonwol Yuseongchang.
I couldn’t use the senses I had learned from Irina even now.
Of course, even this was insanely fast…
But it wasn’t 2 weeks.
It was not possible to complete all seven lectures in just two weeks.
No, there were only 7 lecture lists.
There were dozens of technologies included in it.
Those are at least S-class skills.
It was almost impossible to complete those transcendent skills in just two weeks.
no, it was just impossible.
That’s why the transcendent lecture was nothing more than a bright apricot.
but.
< So I discussed this with the director. >
It wasn’t that there was no way.
< There is a way to increase Kim Seo-joon's time >
“You say… increase the time?”
Seojun tilted his head involuntarily.
Do you increase the time
What nonsense is this?
Could it be that time reversal magic is used?
Did such magic exist?
If it’s a transcendent academy… I think it’s possible.
“Are you using time-related magic?”
The mentor immediately shook his head.
< No. Time-related magic is impossible. This is an absolute law established by the causal law itself. In any case, you can't interfere with time. >
< Not to mention the director... It wouldn't have been possible for the first transcendent. >
If that was possible, the first transcendent would not have perished.
The mentor murmured his final words.
It was impossible not only for Irina but also for the first Transcendentalist.
So, it was literally impossible.
“Then how…?”
The mentor looked at Seojun and opened his mouth.
< This is how Seojun Kim goes to another dimension. >
“Another dimension?”
< Yes. >
The mentor nodded once and went on to speak.
< The flow of time is not the same in each dimension. In some places time flows fast and in other places it is slow . It was a way. If 1 second in Seo-jun's dimension flows into 5 seconds in another dimension. 1 day on Earth. 5 days in another dimension. If you train on Earth, you can only train for 1 day, but in another dimension, you can train for 5 days. and. < Originally, it is very difficult to go to another dimension. It's not difficult, it's almost impossible. So, I usually use the method of using the medium of that dimension... >
Seo-joon nodded slowly as if he understood.
A twisted existence.
Because he had experienced that he came over here using Ryu Jin-cheol’s body as a medium.
< Of course, even that was incredibly difficult, but at least it was possible. But Seojun Kim is in a position where he has to go directly to that dimension, right? That's why it's close to impossible... >
The mentor stopped talking and looked away for a moment.
Seojun also turned his head to follow that gaze.
out the window.
A huge gate that dyed the sky above Seoul black was visible.
A phenomenon in which causality of all dimensions is integrated.
Seojun was able to understand the meaning of the mentor at once.
The mentor turned his head again and continued.
< That's why it's possible, but the cost of cause and effect is enormous. But fortunately, Seojun Kim has a free coupon, right? If you go, there is a coupon, so you don't have to worry about cause and effect. >
< But... they come and go. I need 2 coupons for a round trip. >
Seojun currently has 8 free coupons.
And the list of lectures is 7 in total.
There was only one coupon left, but
two free coupons were needed to travel to and from another dimension.
That’s why 1 coupon was not enough… but this wasn’t a big problem.
It was because I had to pay for the lecture on dragons with cause and effect, not coupons.
The tuition for the Yongeon lecture is 100 trillion won.
Currently, Seo-joon has 5860 trillion won and 500 billion won in causality.
It was enough cause and effect to boil Beserk’s heart.
Therefore, going to another dimension is not a problem at all.
“……”
However, Seo-joon couldn’t make a decision easily.
And as if to understand Seo-jun’s heart.
The mentor didn’t say anything.
sinking silence.
“The director… what did you say?”
Seojun slowly opened his mouth.
< If you look at the notice from the Transcendent Academy right now... As of the current time, the entire Transcendent Academy has entered a closed state . Then, as soon as I logged in, a pop-up notice that the transcendent academy would be closed suddenly came to my mind. In relation to that, the chatter of beginners is also in a state of upside down. Since the causality of all dimensions was intertwined, it seemed that not only the earth but also other dimensions had an effect. And if you don't stop this phenomenon. if you can't stop everything comes to an end and. < They said that Kim Seo-joon was the only one who could solve this situation. >
The only person who could stop it was Seo-joon.
However, it was not possible with Seo-joon now.
A great voice that is free from causal constraints.
The current Seo-joon is too lacking to stand against him.
< But whatever Kim Seo-joon's choice, the director said he would help as much as possible. Neither do I! >
shouted the mentor with a very strong expression.
At the words of such a mentor, Seo-joon burst into laughter.
“How much time can I buy if I go to another dimension?”
< The ratio of time you can earn the most in Kim Seo-joon's dimension is 20:1. > In a word
, 20:1
is one day on Earth.
20 days on that side.
There were two weeks left until the Apostle Ceremony.
I could have been there for 40 weeks.
In other words, it was possible to buy time for 10 months.
10 months.
Long if long, short if short.
“Wait… could you give me some time?”
#
Seojun couldn’t explain this situation.
I just opened my mouth.
In the end, he just stared blankly at Seoyoon.
Seoyoon also just stared blankly at Seojun.
sinking silence.
“When are you going…?”
In the meantime, Seoyoon carefully opened her mouth.
“I think we should leave right now.”
A situation where there is no time.
I had to leave as soon as possible, even for a day or an hour.
“Seoyun-ssi, please talk to the team members.”
Seoyoon kept her mouth shut.
Indeed.
It is savage.
any.
I wish I could lean on myself just a little bit.
Seo-joon was always there to take care of others.
He was a strong person who did not lean on anyone
even if he could be someone’s shoulder .
So, what kind of burden did Seoyoon carry on Seojun’s shoulders?
What weight are you carrying?
Didn’t know.
But just because you don’t know doesn’t mean you can’t know.
That’s why in my heart I wanted to shout, “Don’t go.”
Because you can’t catch it or you can’t catch it.
Seoyoon couldn’t say anything.
So indeed.
It was a savage one.
Seoyoon blankly stared at Seojun’s face.
And Seo-jun also only looked at Seo-yoon’s face.
The relationship with Seoyoon that first started at Dream Academy.
Seoyoon wants to create the world’s best academy through Seojun.
Seo-jun wants to become the world’s best hunter through Seo-yoon.
It started from the time when each other used each other, and
we went through a lot of things and crises.
In that gap, they have become a kind of will to each other.
A lot of events, a lot of things.
There were many memories that were made intertwined.
Seo-jun to Seo-yoon, Seo-yoon to Seo-jun.
Now it has become something that cannot be let go.
but.
Seojun is walking the path of a transcendentalist.
And if you walk the full path.
Seo-joon transcends and is banished out of the dimension.
Therefore, they could never return to Earth again.
A relationship that is destined to end.
One day, when the story of just the two of us reached the end.
When Seojun and Seoyoon stood at the end of the story and looked at each other.
No end, no end, no ending.
Can we come in contact with a new story again?
I don’t know.
But for now, I just do what I have to do.
Seojun to Seoyoon.
Seoyoon to Seojun.
There were many things I wanted to ask and many things I wanted to do.
but.
“Seojun.”
Seoyoon swallowed those questions and words.
I just spit out one word that encapsulates all of them.
“……You have to be careful.”
For a moment, Seojun’s expression went blank.
Soon after, Seojun smiled.
Seojun also had a lot to say to Seoyoon.
There were many things I wanted to ask.
But Seo-joon swallowed those questions and words.
It was just one word that implied it all.
“I told you. They say I’m not going anywhere, leaving Seoyoon.”
The eyes of two people meeting each other.
Late dawn, when only the moonlight alone illuminates the sky.
The two just looked at each other like that.
#
After saying goodbye to Seoyoon, not goodbye.
Seo-joon immediately left for another dimension.
And the news of Seo-joon’s departure was not known to anyone.
Seoyoon and the team members know about it.
So the world just went on the same way as before.
Public opinion was still boiling and exploding, and
the super-giant gate covering Seoul and the Gyeonggi area continued to grow thicker.
fear and anxiety.
People embraced these two things and waited for the upcoming Apostle Ceremony.
but.
Accidents always happen at unexpected times.
The point at which a week had passed since Seo-joon left, and
the point at which approximately one week was left until the apostle ceremony.
《Breaking news! A giant monster appeared over Seoul!!》
An unexpected thing happened.
