I Became a Student at the Transcension Academy - Chapter 62
Chapter 62 – Disappearance (2)
After a moment’s thought, Seo-joon decided to carry out Hercules’ task first.
There were many problems with Jang Sam-bong’s task right now.
20m mid-air drop. Hold for 30 seconds at 300 km/h.
Both tasks were difficult here at Dream Academy.
I didn’t know why it was a necessary task in learning alternative steps, but anyway.
“One ton…”
One ton was a whopping 1000kg in weight.
The average weight of a hippo was about 1200kg, so it was roughly equivalent to carrying out Chiron’s task with one hippo on his back.
“Looking at it like this, it seems worthwhile, right? Hmm… If I had known this would happen, I would have stocked up monster corpses instead of selling them.”
After completing Keiron’s lecture, Seo-joon sold all the corpses thinking that there would be no more assignments.
You can’t raid right now, and you can’t bring a real hippo and carry it on your back.
Seo-joon gathered all the metals in the Dream Academy training hall and almost poured them into the kibisis.
Kibisys reduced the weight by 70%, so I had to put in more metal than I thought, but I was still able to match the weight.
“It’s good that you bought Kibisis. Well, I didn’t buy it for this purpose…”
It was up to the user to use the item.
thud!
“At this level… I think it will be 1 ton!”
When I listened to it lightly, it was a bit too heavy for Seo-joon, who was wearing the power of reverse divergence.
And if you look at Chiron’s task, Hercules’ task will also require a straight posture.
It seemed that it would be possible to draw even the power of mana.
“I am I can’t believe I have to go this far just to exercise.”
Is this exercise or torture?
Seo-joon smiled and started squatting first.
Poududeuk!
“Ha ha… Nea!”
Poududeuk!
“Douuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
Seo-joon gnashed his teeth and carried out the assignment, and how much time had passed like that.
“Eve Aeg…! Twenty Melancholy…! God!”
Before anyone knew it, Seojun was breaking through the 200th episode.
and.
“Turn off…!”
Seo-joon could feel firsthand what the expression “I feel like I’m going to die” means.
If I were to die now, I was confident that I would die right now.
I thought it was worth doing until the first 100 episodes.
However, after the 200th episode, my body started to tremble, and now it seemed as if every muscle joint was disconnected.
Poududeuk!
As if my muscles were at their limit, I could hear them clamoring to stop this madness right now.
“Eve Aeg…! Twenty Melancholy…! Doubly depressed!”
However, Seo-joon did not give up until the end.
Like that, 300. 400. Only after finishing the last 500 episodes.
Iron pudduck.
Seo-joon collapsed on the floor without even screaming.
“Turn it off…”
The kibisis weighing one ton pressed heavily on Seo-joon’s body.
Seo-joon reached out with difficulty to check his smartphone.
– 500 squats. [500/500]. (Achieved!)
Fortunately, I was able to achieve it without cheating.
but.
-20 km canter. [0km/20km].
– 500 squats. [500/500]. (Achieved!)
– 200 push-ups. [0/200].
– 300 sit-ups. [0/300].
– 150 pull-ups. [0/150].
Hercules’ task had just begun.
“Is this… the task I was made to do…?”
It wasn’t even just a task, it was a ‘daily’ task.
You have to do it every single day, every single day.
If you can’t do it, you can’t listen to the lecture itself, it’s a crazy system.
“Crazy…”
Seo-joon recalled the first time he heard Keiron’s lecture at the hospital.
“Still, I’ve grown a lot more than before…”
After taking a break, Seo-joon got up again and performed the task.
– 200 push-ups. [200/200]. (Achieved!)
– 300 sit-ups. [300/300]. (Achieved!)
– 150 pull-ups. [150/150]. (Achieved!)
Seo-joon completed push-ups, sit-ups, and pull-ups like that.
“Haha…! Haha…! I will not! no! No more!”
However, Seo-joon’s stamina was almost discharged.
Really, saying that I didn’t even have the strength to lift a hand seemed to be referring to the current situation.
So Seo-joon had no choice but to lie on the floor for a while with a ton of kibisis pressing down on his body.
and.
“……What are you doing?”
Looking at Seo-jun, Seo-yoon felt like she was leaving for the first time in a while.
Seoyoon could hardly understand what was going on.
That would be the case, Seoyoon just finished her work and returned to the academy.
“Please save me… Mr. Seoyoon…”
As soon as he returned, he saw Seojun with a dying expression on his face, crying out for help.
“What are you doing?”
“Please take this away… I think I’m going to die…” It
was only then that Seoyoon could see the small pouch hanging behind Seojun’s back.
It was a subspace bag I had seen the other day, but apparently it was ignorantly weighted.
“No, how many things did you put in?”
Seoyoon didn’t take it seriously and grabbed the pouch.
“…huh?”
But for some reason, the subspace pocket didn’t budge.
Seo-yoon gave her strength several times, but it was only a little fluttering and she couldn’t hear it completely.
“Why is this…!”
Seoyoon finally used mana and only then was she able to remove the pouch from Seojun’s back.
Wow!
Then, the academy building vibrates and vibrates.
Seoyoon asked Seojun with an absurd look.
“What the hell did you put in it so it’s so heavy?”
“Haha… It’s just that I put in all the metal fittings in the academy and it turned out like this.”
“yes? Why is that… No, that goes in everything?”
Seo-joon didn’t answer and just raised his body.
Then, as if he just remembered, he asked Seoyoon,
“Oh, really. Seo Yoon. How tall is the Dream Academy building here?”
“Maybe… since it’s a three-story building, wouldn’t it be about 10m?”
“hmm. 10m is not enough…”
Seoyoon tilted her head and asked.
“Why are you asking that all of a sudden?”
“I want to jump.”
“…yes?”
For a moment, Seoyoon wondered if what she heard was correct.
To be precise, I thought Seo-jun was joking.
But what kind of a joke was this bloody?
“Hmm… Can I jump 10m from the rooftop? I don’t know if I can jump 10m in my current state. Seo Yoon. I’m going to do an experiment for a while.”
While Seoyoon was standing there with a blank expression, Seojun left the training ground with that horse.
And after some time
“Aaaaaaaaaa!”
thud!
A dull roar was heard along with screams falling from the roof.
It looked like it had really jumped off.
“……”
Seoyoon didn’t even know how to accept this situation.
Well, if he was a normal person, he would have been seriously injured, but if he was as skilled as Seo-jun, there would be no big problem.
Of course, that didn’t mean jumping off the roof of a building was normal.
“oh! It works!”
At that moment, Seojun’s voice came from below.
So again, some time passed.
“Aaaaaaaaaa!”
thud!
Is this the suicide hunter I’ve only heard about…?
Seo-yoon let out a sigh at the sight of Seo-joon, who was becoming more and more disgusted with the strangeness.
“Haa… What will the new students think when they see me like that?”
No, can I accept new students?
“Now I don’t even know…”
Seoyoon eventually gave up on thinking.
#
Time passed, and two days had passed since Seo-joon started carrying out his daily tasks.
And unlike the first day where I couldn’t complete the daily assignments in one day.
From the second day, I was able to narrowly match the time.
Apparently Seojun had grown up in the meantime, and thanks to the correction effect of the transcendent academy, he was able to adapt quickly.
Also, Min-yul must have found a suitable house and finally entered the Dream Academy.
And as soon as I came, I could see Seo-joon’s grotesque behavior.
“What is it…”
Min-yul was able to experience the outrageous feeling that can only be felt at Dream Academy.
“Why are you doing that…? sister?”
“Don’t ask me. Because I want to know more than anyone else.”
“……”
Min-yul’s ex-boyfriend didn’t think of coming back.
Meanwhile.
‘I still can’t get in touch with Mr….’
Contrary to what the two thought, Seo-joon could hardly shake off his worries about Man-cheol.
That’s also true, Man-cheol hadn’t been in touch since the day before Su-yeon went.
Two days have already passed since then, so it’s been the 4th day since I can’t contact you.
For the past 10 years, Mancheol’s departure has not been more than three days at most.
Seojun checked his smartphone once again.
『[Sooyeon]: Brother. Have you not had any contact from your father yet…? Just in case, I reported it to the police. If you get in touch, let me know.”
At this level, I couldn’t help but think that there was definitely something wrong.
‘I’ll have to check it myself.’
In the end, Seo-joon stopped the assignment and prepared to leave.
“Mr. Seoyoon. I’ll be out for a while.”
“Again again! Are you going to jump?”
Then, Seoyoon was startled and shouted at Seojun.
“Don’t you remember the last time you reported a resident report because of that? Where do zombies keep committing suicide? I heard that there was a dungeon break nearby, didn’t you!”
At the same time, seeing Seoyoon shed her eyes, Seojun hurriedly waved his hand and replied.
“ah. no. Not this time. That… I’m going to look for Mr. Mancheol.”
“yes? Are you Mr. Mancheol? Why is Mr. Mancheol?”
“Um…”
Seo-jun thought about whether to tell Seo-yoon about this, but shook his head at the judgment that it was still too early.
“I am not sure yet. Once I get there, I’ll tell you.”
So Seo-joon left the academy.
And the place Seo-jun headed was none other than a monster carcass transporter.
It was the same company that Seo-joon worked for the past 10 years before he came across Transcendent Academy.
At that time, Soo-yeon said that she hadn’t heard from Man-cheol since he left for work.
In other words, it meant that he went to work, so there is a possibility that the people at the company knew something.
Seo-joon was able to arrive at the carrier in no time.
And at that time, as if it was time for a break, the workers gathered together.
“Hello guys.”
As Seo-jun approached and greeted them, people looked at him.
After recognizing Seo-jun’s face, they stood up one by one with a happy expression.
“No, who is this! Isn’t that our big star Kim Seo-joon?”
“You were so cool during the Hunter’s Mill mock test!”
“I worked hard to save money to become a hunter for 9 years. In the end, you succeed!”
“This nobleman! I haven’t even become a professional hunter yet, so what about kimchi soup?”
“Hey! It’s a matter of winning the pro hunter, but what! I knew I would succeed from the moment I carried the corpse on my back and did crazy things!”
And then people flocking around, showing off their friendship with Seo-joon.
After the Hunter Mill mock test, Seo-joon became quite famous among the general public.
Seo-joon laughed awkwardly at the reaction of those people.
It wasn’t that Seo-joon and Man-cheol were especially close, but he didn’t have any acquaintances with other people.
“But what happened to you all of a sudden?”
“ah! Could it be that you came to entrust our company with transporting monster corpses?”
“Hey! Has it already happened?”
Seojun shook his head and said.
“no. Not like that. I stopped by just to say hello. How have you all been?”
“We are the same, what? It’s thanks to you, Gyadu, that you changed the foreman.”
“yes? Am I changing the foreman?”
“You bastard Kim Tae-soo. Did Mancheol draw it because you changed it? Did you know?”
ah.
Seojun nodded slightly.
It was because he remembered that he had asked Seoyoon for that kind of favor during the first meeting.
After all, it was Seoyoon who did it, but anyway.
As soon as Mancheol’s story came out, Seojun brought up the main topic.
“It is a word that comes out. Has anyone seen Mr. Mancheol?”
“Mancheol? Uh… What’s up? i don’t have Has anyone seen it?”
“I see. Haven’t you seen me in a while?”
“Where else are you drinking and sleeping? You did that sometimes.”
After that, people began to mumble, saying one word at a time.
But all they said was that they didn’t know.
‘Doesn’t everyone know?’
Right then.
“You haven’t seen him since you followed him?”
A meaningful word came from somewhere.
Seo-joon’s eyes flashed and he looked for the person and asked.
“Are you following him? What do you mean?”
“That was… 3 or 4 days ago, right? Some weird guy came in looking for someone to do the job of transporting the monsters. At that time, Mancheol followed him, maybe?”
“Oh right. They told me that they would pay a hefty fee, so I was a bit nervous too.”
Seojun asked people.
“Then did the others follow along?”
“Nope. Only full season has gone.”
As Seo-jun tilted his head, each of the people spat out a word.
“Just by looking at it, it was an award. I mean, personally, rather than through a company, it smells disgusting.”
“Most of those things are dangerous or shameful. No matter how good money is, it is not more important than life.”
“Then, why is Mr. Mancheol…”
“Is the money urgent? I think they said something like sending my daughter to the academy or something…”
“Now that I think about it, what really happened?”
For a moment, Seo-joon felt like his heart sank.
Seo-joon asked urgently.
“Ho maybe! Can I find out where you went to the dungeon with that person?”
“We don’t know. I didn’t tell you.”
“Maybe you can find out when you go to the association? Whether it’s a raid or a transport, I have to report it to the association.”
As soon as Seojun heard that, he turned his back.
“Thank you! I have something urgent, so I’ll go now!”
“What is it? are you going already? draw! Come by often!”
Then, he ran to the Seoul branch Hunter Association.
#
To begin with, Seo-jun could not get any information from the association.
As soon as Seo-joon ran to the association, he wanted to check the dungeon reservation records and transport records from 3 to 4 days ago.
However, the association staff responded with a troubled expression.
“sorry. Since it is about personal information, we cannot inform it to a third party.”
“Is it because someone is missing right now?”
“Unless the disappearance is confirmed, we cannot inform you. Even if it is missing, we cannot notify a third party. sorry.”
Seo-joon continued to persuade the association staff, but the association staff also kept saying no.
In the end, Seo-jun had no choice but to return without any income.
Man-cheol, who had not been contacted for 4 days, went to work with a suspicious person 4 days ago.
From the circumstances, it was clear that something had happened to Mancheol.
Of course, as the association staff said, nothing was confirmed.
However, Seo-jun could not hide his uneasy feeling.
That’s why Seo-joon felt quite impatient.
Mancheol was like a family to Seojun.
Not only for the past 10 years, but also a few months ago.
When Seo-joon lost all the money he had saved for 9 years in an accident and was frustrated, Man-cheol was the first to come to comfort him and worry about him.
In addition, he himself readily handed over a large sum of 3 million won in a difficult situation.
And that 3 million won became the subscription fee for the transcendent academy, and now Seo-joon was there.
Kwadeuk.
Seo-joon had no intention of passing this fact lightly.
Of course, there was no way for Seo-jun to do anything right now, but if you make a way, stop it.
Seo-jun immediately returned to Dream Academy and explained the situation to Seo-yoon.
“Is that for real?”
Then, Seoyoon was startled and expressed her concern about Mancheol.
She was also Seo-yoon, who was acquainted with Man-cheol during the last dungeon clearing contest.
Above all, because he knew what Seojun thought of Mancheol, Seoyoon was able to immediately accept how serious the situation was.
“yes. So I went to the association, but I came only to hear that they couldn’t tell me.”
“Then how…”
Seojun directly said to Seoyoon.
“Can you please let me meet the sword saint now?”
Circumstances, Man-cheol followed the suspicious person and something happened.
Then you need to know which dungeon you went to, but the problem is that the association is private information and does not give that information to Seo-jun.
However, the story was different with the Sword Saint.
Geomseong is one of the five heroes representing Korea.
The head of the association and the association, as well as the government, were the ones to notice.
If it was personal information and the Sword Master directly asked for it, the association would not be able to refuse it.
“Is it right now?”
Seojun nodded firmly.
There is no time to wait.
Even at this moment, I didn’t know what was going on with Mancheol.
There was no point in wasting time.
“Please wait a moment.”
Seoyoon also contacted her immediately to see if she knew about it, and she was able to get permission soon.
Seoyoon’s hometown arrived like that.
“Do you want me to help you?”
Before he had time to appreciate the scenery of the old-fashioned house, Seo-joon was able to face Geomsung right away.
And judging from the questions they asked as soon as they met, it seemed that Seoyoon had roughly explained the situation in advance.
“no.”
However, Seojun shook his head firmly.
“Then… why did you want to meet me?”
And Seo-jun’s appearance gave Geomseong a look of surprise.
Of course, it is true that Seo-jun came to ask for help from Geomseong.
Even so, the reason Seo-jun shook his head was because he knew that the swordsman would not help Seo-jun.
If it was Seoyoon, there was no way to help the Swordsman Iljin, who was already disapproving of Seojun.
So, Seo-joon.
“How about hanging out with me?”
He made a provocation-like proposal to the Sword Saint.
“…what?”
As expected, Geomseong looked at Seo-jun with a puzzled look.
In the process, he even felt like he was living, but Seo-joon continued to speak calmly.
“I have changed a lot from before. If I win, go beyond helping Sword Saint and actively intervene in this case. instead.”
Seojun immediately opened his mouth as if cutting off the swordsman who was about to say something.
“If I lose to the Sword Saint, I will leave Dream Academy.”
“Seo Seo-joon…?”
Then Seoyoon shouted at Seojun in a panicked voice.
However, Seo-jun did not even look at Seo-yoon and continued talking.
“Of course, there is no way I can perfectly beat the Sword Master. So, if I hurt the Sword Master even once, please make it my victory.”
No matter how much Seojun had grown, he could never win against the swordsman.
However, how could it possibly be effective?
Of course, even this was not certain.
Anyway, the swordsman is an existence called S-class above S-class.
It was a distant stage that Seo-jun could not see now.
That’s why it was a gamble as Seo-jun, but this was the only way to save Man-cheol.
“……You are bold.”
Geomseong looked at Seo-jun with his eyes wide open.
And after a while, the Sword Saint nodded.
“good night.”
“grandfather!”
Seoyoon shouted, but the swordsman did not waver.
Seojun also did not avoid the eyes of the swordsman.
“Follow me.”
The swordsman slowly rose from his seat.
