I Became a Student at the Transcension Academy - Chapter 58

Chapter 58 – Identity (2)

“I don’t know either.”

For a moment, Seo-joon wondered if he had heard it correctly.

I waited to see if there was anything else to follow, but after that, Minyul didn’t open his mouth any more.

“……”

So Seo-joon was dumbfounded and questioned the current situation.

If the symbol of the question mark can exist as a facial expression, wouldn’t Seo-jun’s expression be like that now?

Are you kidding me?

Or does it mean that you will continue to lie as you initially feared?

As Seo-jun’s expression began to distort in an instant, Min-yul hurriedly waved his hand and continued.

“no no! That’s not it, I really don’t know! I told you. My master doesn’t know that I’m a disciple.”

“I heard you were taught how to use a dagger earlier?”

“That’s…”

“And besides, your teacher is stronger than you can imagine. But you don’t know who your master is?”

“No, so…”

Min-yul was flustered at Seo-joon’s sharp questions.

To be honest, Seo-joon didn’t think that Min-yul would lie.

Min-yul, who saw and felt Seo-joon in person in the final, didn’t seem like that kind of person.

However, for some reason Minyul’s appearance was not like that.

To be precise, even if what Min-yul said was true, Seo-joon couldn’t believe it straight away.

And when Seojun thought this far.

“I didn’t learn it myself, I just… learned it over my shoulder.”

Suddenly, Minyul slowly opened his mouth as if to explain.

Seojun raised his gaze again and asked Minyul.

“You learned over your shoulder? What do you mean?”

“That’s what I mean…”

Minyul paused for a moment with a troubled look on his face.

And then, slowly, he opened his mouth.

“I have never been taught by anyone.”

Minyul was a self-taught student.

And self-taught students generally meant ‘someone who wants to become a hunter even though he has neither talent nor money’.

But Minyul was the exact opposite of that case.

Because Minyul was not short of money.

Above all, because he is also very talented.

Nevertheless, the reason why Min-yul did not go to the Hunter Academy was because, as I said before, I did not want to be tied down somewhere.

In fact, it is said that it was not that Min-yul did not go to the Hunter Academy from the beginning.

Anyway, in this era, it was basic common sense that you had to go to the academy to become a hunter.

“But they kept trying to teach me by locking me in a frame.”

However, Minyul did not fit at all with the Hunter Academy’s teaching method.

‘Well…’

At Minyul’s words, Seojun remembered Minyul’s fighting style.

I was frustrated because I tried to match that freewheeling style to the academy curriculum.

“So I just left the academy.”

Since then, Minyul trained alone in the mountains.

Although there was no teaching from anyone, Min-yul was talented and was able to gradually complete his own style.

In this way, Minyul devoted himself to training day by day, and it is said that one day he went to practice as usual.

“I suddenly felt a crowd in the place where I was training.”

Minyul is always the same place. I practiced at the same time.

And, of course, Min-yul was alone at that time.

In the first place, the place where Min-yul trained was in the mountains where there were few people.

‘what?’

Min-yul was wary and slowly approached the place where there was a crowd.

And it is said that what they found there was an old man lying down covered in blood.

Min-yul was startled and approached the collapsed old man.

‘hey! are you okay?’

However, the old man did not hear an answer as if he had lost his mind.

Minyul lifted the old man up without hesitation.

And when I was about to rush to the hospital.

‘Ah… no… go down… no…’

Suddenly, the old man grabbed Minyul like that.

‘What are you talking about! Go to the hospital right now! Otherwise, die!’

‘No… go down…’

But the old man just kept repeating the same words as if he were talking in his sleep.

Somehow, it seemed that he had not come to his senses, but was obsessed with some kind of obsession.

Min-yul did not know why, but he thought that there must be a reason for the old man to say that.

Min-yul gave up his thoughts of going down and returned to the place where he trained.

And they built a small shelter to lay the old man down.

The old man’s wounds were more serious than he thought.

Blood continued to ooze from open and torn wounds here and there.

It wouldn’t be strange if he died right away, but the old man’s heart was beating weakly.

Min-yul had no medical knowledge, so there was nothing he could do.

However, he treated the elderly by pouring herbs and foods that are good for rejuvenation.

And the old man seemed to regain his strength little by little.

Along with the daily training, it became a daily routine for Minyul.

Another month passed and Min-yul went to the old man’s place for training as usual one day.

‘I thought he was dead… but he managed to hide alive.’

A group came there.

About 30 people surrounded the small shelter Minyul had made as if besieging it.

At the same time, I felt a tremendous sense of life, but it seemed that it did not come with good intentions.

And one person who faces that life.

‘To think that you came by yourself for an old man who was dying. After becoming an elder, he seems to have nothing to do.’

It was none other than the old man Min-yul took care of.

Up until yesterday, he had been lying down, but he seems to have come to his senses today.

And while it was true that the old man had woken up, Min-yul could not understand the situation in front of him.

Minyul hid and watched the situation for a while.

‘Has anyone helped?’

‘I don’t know.’

‘I’m sure it’s not the kid hiding over there.’

Startle.

Min-yul trembled at the gaze directed at him, who had been hiding.

and.

Pooh!

It was a moment.

The moment the old man disappears from sight in an instant and the neck of one of the uninvited guests soars into the sky.

Pooh! Fu Chemistry!

It was only after two or three of their throats soared that the man who was confronting the old man shouted.

‘Kill!’

A fierce battle followed.

“I… I’ve never seen anyone fight so well in my life.”

Minyul trembled as he recalled the scene.

He said it only took less than 5 minutes.

The time when up to 30 people, excluding those who confronted the old man, collapsed.

‘This…wasn’t planned…!’

‘Looks like you guys forgot that you couldn’t see me.’

As a result, the uninvited guest who was confronting the old man was quite embarrassed.

However, unlike before, the old man could not easily subdue the uninvited guest.

Afterwards, the two fought fiercely again and disappeared from sight, and Min-yul did not know what the outcome was.

However, the old man left these last words while fighting the uninvited guest.

‘Leave right now! And don’t come back here again!’

Min-yul did not know what the situation was.

And he wasn’t even sure if the old man was talking to him.

However, Minyul intuitively recognized that he had to follow the old man’s words.

Before leaving, I packed my belongings.

And it is said that he was able to find a book lying around in the small shelter where the elderly were treated.

It seemed that the old man was in a hurry to leave and didn’t take care of it.

Min-yul said that he took the book after much thought.

Maybe later, when the old man came to visit him, he tried to return it, but he said he hadn’t met the old man until now.

“So I don’t know who my master is.”

The story of Minyul ended like that.

Seojun tilted his head and asked.

“You mean that old man is your teacher?”

“that’s right.”

“But you didn’t teach me anything. You can’t say that you’re a teacher in the first place? But why do you call me Master?”

“Oh, actually, it turned out that the book was low-level.”

“Urgent?”

“It’s about daggers and stealth, because… I saw that.”

At the same time, Min-yul showed an embarrassed expression as if he were revealing his shame.

In a way, it was like stealing someone else’s.

However, Seo-jun said that he did not care about such a min-yul.

“Then you don’t even know that you’re a disciple?”

“Looking at the fight at that time, it seems that Master made that level. Because Master doesn’t know that I have a secret weapon or that I have seen it…” ”

……”

Seo-jun’s expression twisted into a stern expression, and Min-yul hurriedly shouted.

“I know it’s hard to believe in me! But it’s real!”

Minyul seemed to think that Seojun did not believe him.

But in fact, Seo-joon was just dumbfounded and depressed at the same time.

‘You weren’t a student at the Transcendent Academy.’

Of course, I assumed that it was highly unlikely.

But I didn’t even think that I would be confused in this case.

‘The possibility of it being a lie…’

Seo-joon shook his head.

I never thought I would lie to this extent.

Of course, I didn’t say it was very unlikely…

Seo-joon asked Min-yul again.

“You really have no idea who the old man is?”

“I really don’t know. In fact, the reason why I participated in this mock test was because I was afraid that if it was a big competition like this, Master would be able to find me.”

As expected, Min-yul really didn’t seem to know anything.

And just then.

“Could it be… Lord Amnesia?”

Suddenly, Seoyoon, who had been still, spoke carefully.

Seo-jun turned his head and asked Seo-yoon.

“Are you Amseong-nim?”

“yes. Listening to the words quietly… Somehow, I thought of Amseong.”

Like Geomseong, Amseong was one of the five heroes representing Korea.

And of those five heroes, he was the most veiled figure.

In the first place, he was a person called the master of assassination, so he thoroughly concealed himself.

Maybe that’s why there was almost no information about it that was revealed to the public except for the name.

However, if it was Seoyoon, the granddaughter of the swordsman, the story could have been a little different.

“Have you ever seen Seoyoon and Amseong?”

“yes? ah. yes. I’ve seen you a few times. When I was young, Amseong came to see my grandfather from time to time. Although we quarreled every time…”

Sure enough, Seo-yoon had even seen it in person.

So Seo-joon slowly opened his mouth after thinking for a while.

“Then, Mr. Seoyoon. May I ask the swordsman about Minyul’s secret level? If it’s Geomseong-nim, I think you’ll find out if it’s Cancer-nim’s or not.”

“Oh, I see. If you are a grandfather, you will be able to find out the secret level of Amseong. I can ask you a favor… would you mind?”

Seoyoon carefully asked Minyul.

“grandfather?”

Then, this time, Minyul tilted his head.

“Who is your grandfather?”

And for some reason, Minyul didn’t speak plain language to Seoyoon.

Seo-joon swallowed his doubts and revealed the existence of the Sword Saint to Min-yul.

OK.

“Eh? Really?! Are you saying that you are the granddaughter of the sword castle?”

Min-yul was shocked and Seo-joon said to Min-yul.

“You said you were also curious about who your teacher was. Also, if Cancer Star’s is correct, I think Sword Saint may be able to find out where Dark Star is.”

“I think so…”

But Min-yul didn’t respond hastily.

It was because it was not easy to show someone else’s, not one’s own.

It is true that no matter how much the target is the Sword Saint, he hesitates.

So Seo-joon made another proposal to Min-yul.

“Or how about demonstrating the skills you learned in the non-level class? If it’s the swordsman’s level, I think I can figure it out with just that much.”

“If that’s the case…”

Minyul slowly nodded.

However, it was too late now, and Seoyoon needed time to explain the situation to the swordsman.

Well, let’s meet again tomorrow.

So Seo-jun left Min-yul to come to Dream Academy tomorrow and they parted ways.

And Seo-joon soon realized that he didn’t have to.

#

The next day.

Seo-joon was able to receive 1 billion won in prize money for winning the mock exam.

It’s only been one day since the mock exams were over, but the work was done quite quickly.

However, I haven’t been able to receive the 1 billion prize money for the event match yet, but since it was a sudden event match, I felt like I needed several procedures.

However, it was just that it took time, not that it wasn’t given, so Seo-joon didn’t care too much.

“I have to buy a free pass first.”

Seojun immediately connected to the transcendent academy.

Seoyoon went to her parents’ house to explain everything to the swordsman.

Since Min-yul said he was coming to Dream Academy with a salary, he thought he was taking lectures in his spare time.

So Seo-joon bought a free pass worth 500 million won.

And right at that moment.

T-ring!

< Chiron Lecture Progress 100% (+3.1%) >

< Sakyamuni Lecture Progress 17.5% (+2%) >

< Merlin Lecture Progress 38.2% (+16.3%) >

At the same time as purchasing the free pass lecture, a notification window popped up saying that the lecture progress had increased. .

“huh?”

Seojun tilted his head involuntarily.

And after staring at the notification window for a long time, an idea suddenly came to my mind.

“Ah… Does the course progress even if I don’t buy the free pass?”

If you think about the following article, the progress rate of the lecture was a measure of how well the students understood the lecture.

And Seojun, who achieved a lot of growth with Aura Blade in this Hunter Mill mock test.

It seemed that it was applied right away at the same time as purchasing the free pass.

“for a moment. If this is the case…”

T-ring!

< [Required lecture for introductory combat Transcendentalists. (Instructor: Keiron)] After completing the lecture, you will fully learn 'Hwangol Taltae (換骨脫胎) [A]' . Sure enough, an unknown energy began to emanate from Seo-jun's body. The tremendous energy that burst out without warning maintained the status quo for quite a long time. And gradually it began to be captured inside Seo-jun's body. Seo-jun quietly closed his eyes and contemplated his body. however. “…What has changed?” Seo-joon couldn't feel anything that had changed. When I completed Hang Woo's lecture, I could feel the power of reverse divergence flowing through my body, but somehow it wasn't like that this time. Hwangol metamorphosis, commonly referred to in martial arts, was the stage of changing into a body optimized for martial arts. So, it is usually described that the slightly misaligned bones are perfectly aligned, and all the wastes accumulated in the body are discharged out of the body and transformed into the purest body. “Um... is a novel a novel?” Seojun shrugged. It was unfortunate, but since I finished, it must have been better than before. So, Seo-jun picked up his smartphone again to listen to Keiron's epilogue lecture. But just then Creepy. “……?” Suddenly, a chill went down my spine and I felt a chill. Seo-joon couldn't even figure out how to explain this. It was like a poisonous snake looking at its prey hidden in the grass and becoming that prey. Seojun slowly looked around. However, only the inside of Dream Academy, which was no different from usual, was visible. Normally, I would have dismissed it as being because of my mood and moved on. “What is it?” However, Seo-jun could not let go of this tension. I'm not kidding, it felt like someone was aiming a sword at the nape of Seo-jun's neck. -......I can't believe it even after seeing it. How can you recognize me? Startle! The sudden sound made Seo-joon stiffen without realizing it. Seo-joon hurriedly regained consciousness and looked around once again. But still nothing was visible. - It doesn't seem like you're seeing it... Is it a natural sense? Amazing... And the unidentified voice came back. Seojun hurriedly took out the spear of Longinus and raised the tension to the fullest. Squeak. Before long, an old man popped out of nowhere in the empty space. As if splitting a space, the old man walked out calmly and spat out words toward Seo-jun. “There’s nothing to be so wary of. I didn't come here to harm you.” Seo-joon looked at the old man blankly. In fact, if that old man had the intention of killing Seo-joon from the beginning, Seo-joon should have ceased to be a person of this world. So, what the old man said now is not a lie. To be precise, at least right now, he was right that he had no intention of killing. That's why Seo-joon didn't let go of his guard against the old man. "who are you." Instead of answering, the old man stared blankly at Seo-joon and then spat out again. “It must have been a tough opponent for him.” Seo-joon repeated the old man's words once. that guy It's hard. Opponent. At the same time, I caught keywords and applied them to various situations. and not long after "......Are you Amseong-sama?" Seo-joon was able to figure out the identity of the old man.
