I Became a Student at the Transcension Academy - Chapter 69
Chapter 69 – New wine in a new bag (1)
“No way… no way…”
Maseong lost his mind at the overwhelming scene unfolding before his eyes.
The blow that Seo-joon just saw.
It was because the power, which was so enormous that even the demonic nature was terrifying, was a power that could not be explained by the knowledge of the demonic nature.
And if demons couldn’t explain it, it had to be seen that no one in the world could explain it.
“How could this be…”
Maseong naturally looked for the person who created this scene.
Looking around with a trembling gaze, I was able to find Seo-joon falling helplessly to the floor shortly after.
Seo-joon did not show any movement as if he had lost his mind.
Maseong raised his hand toward Seojun.
Whoops.
Then, waves of invisible magic began to surround Seo-jun.
Then, the speed at which Seo-joon fell sharply decreased.
The Demonic Castle once again manipulated the magic, and soon Seo-jun’s body floated towards the fluffy Demonic Castle.
dump.
“Seojunie… is he okay?”
As I gently put Seo-jun on the floor, I heard Man-cheol’s voice.
In Maseong’s field of vision, who turned his head slightly, Mancheol was looking at Seojun with a worried expression.
Mage nodded slowly and said.
“The wound isn’t light… but it doesn’t seem like there’s a big problem with your life. Apparently, he lost his mind at the cost of using power he couldn’t handle.”
“…Well, that power just wasn’t normal. sick guy. When did you grow up like this again?”
At Maseong’s words, Mancheol grumbled with his signature disapproving expression.
However, Maseong was able to feel cool emotions such as pride without worrying about Mancheol’s appearance.
The two have been in a relationship for 10 years.
A soft smile appeared on his wrinkled face.
Like that, Maseong and Mancheol stared blankly at Seojun, who had fainted for a while.
And how much time has passed
“Actually… I was afraid.”
The devil suddenly opened his mouth.
“What do you mean by all of a sudden?”
Mancheol tilted his head and asked.
“You mean when you just fought that huge tree? Did the old man, who is called a devil, have a feeling of fear?”
“I am not without fear.”
“I lived by saying that I was an old man who was dying all the time…”
Maseong calmly continued without nodding or shaking his head.
“There is no fear in that sense. It is true that I am afraid of death, but to be precise, what will happen to the world after I die… I was so afraid.”
“That… what do you mean?”
Mancheol could not understand such demonic words.
If you are afraid of death, you are afraid. Why are you afraid of the world after death?
Demonic muttered in a voice that was barely audible.
“The world… is not as safe as people think.”
Mancheol just tilted his head.
“That’s why whenever death approaches, I always listen to my worries. Because the world still… needs me.”
“…So, did you recruit a disciple to replace the old man?”
Marshall nodded slowly.
“Jimin did better than anyone else. You did better than I expected. But… I still couldn’t shake off this darkness that hung over a corner of my heart.”
Mancheol had no idea what Maseong was saying.
It’s been decades since the cataclysm ended.
The world has already found stability, and the monsters that threatened mankind were no longer just money-making.
I could tell just by looking at the fact that the pro hunters were in a state of saturation right now.
Monsters were no longer a threat to humanity.
But what is the reason for a person with a demonic level to feel fear?
However, Maseong continued talking whether he knew Mancheol’s thoughts or not.
“But now, looking back, I realize all over again how unfounded my worries were.”
Maseong looked at Seojun, who fainted, and said.
“Even if I don’t exist, someone who will succeed us will be here…”
Compared to the years he had lived, he was an infinitely young young man.
A young man with so much to experience and learn.
‘Then… Why didn’t Maseongnim run away?’
However, Maseong was able to see something in Seo-jun that transcends those years.
The devil’s face had become prevalent with a calm smile.
maybe that’s why
“It’s been a long time… so many years have passed.”
The devil did not feel the time as harsh as today.

A hotel room located in Korea.
“How did it go?”
Seeing Calcus enter with a dark expression, Calia asked urgently.
Calcus looked at Calia and shook his head slowly.
Seeing Calcus, Calia widened her eyes in disbelief.
To anyone, it was a simple act of shaking his head, but Calia knew the meaning of that act better than anyone else.
“Oh, how can that be? Apparently, the devil is there…!”
“The Distortion has occurred.”
Calcus’ continued words made Calia pause.
twist.
It generally meant a phenomenon in which the magic wave of a dungeon suddenly changed.
As a result, the difficulty of the dungeon increased or the break occurred even though the time was not up.
It means that the result is different from what was expected.
Of course, even this was something only the heroes of Cataclysm knew and experienced.
However, the distortion that Jinrihoe spoke of was a slightly different concept.
“Could it be… is that Kim Seo-joon?”
To be precise, it could be said to be a slightly expanded concept.
“I can’t be sure because I can’t see it… but I think it’s like that.”
Calia shouted loudly, as if it could never happen.
“Nonsense! That was absolutely not something Seojun Kim could handle! Above all, no matter how invisible it is, how is it planned…!”
“Calia.”
At that moment, Calia was able to come to her senses at the sound of Calcus’s voice interrupting her speech.
And I was able to recognize that this was a small hotel room located in Korea, not a meeting of Jinrihoe.
Even though the entire hotel was rented out, there was no way to know where the words would leak out.
Of course, everything she had to say had already been said, but it wasn’t what Calia was about to say.
It was a secret that only a few inside the Jinrihoe knew… or had to know.
Calia calmed her excitement and opened her mouth slowly.
“I was excited for a while.”
And seeing Calia like that, Calcus cautiously opened his mouth.
“I’d rather have Kim Seo-joon like a cancer star…”
Calcus didn’t fully conclude his words.
However, Calia was able to fully anticipate the words that would follow.
“That’s not right.”
That’s why Calia was able to firmly dismiss Calcus’ words.
Calcus looked a bit surprised at the fact, but Calia couldn’t help it either.
To be honest, Calia had the same thoughts as Calcus.
In the meantime, I ignored it, saying that I was just a student, but after seeing this incident, I completely changed my mind.
You shouldn’t leave Kim Seo-joon alone like this.
Even so, the reason Calia dismissed Calcus’s words was none other than what the Apostle of Temperance had requested.
‘Remember, Calia. Keep an eye on Seo-Jun Kim, but do not intervene directly with Seo-Jun Kim to the extent that our existence is revealed.’
In the last meeting with the Apostle of Temperance, the Apostle of Temperance expressed a strong will.
To be precise, it must have been the will of someone who ordered the apostle of temperance to say that, not the apostle of temperance.
Therefore, Calia did not know why.
And it was Calia’s expectation, but she thought that the Apostle of Temperance would not know that either.
“This thing… I can’t just get over it. I will report it to the apostle for now.”
I don’t know why, but Calia felt an unknown anxiety about Kim Seo-joon.

Flash.
When Seo-jun opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the unfamiliar ceiling… not the ceiling of the hospital room.
As if instant memories were injected, the events in the dungeon began to come to mind one by one.
“hot!”
Seo-joon jumped up involuntarily at the memory.
“Are you awake?”
“Are you awake?”
Then two voices came from the side.
Seo-joon slowly turned his head at the voice that clearly felt the age difference.
“…?”
I put a question mark on the sight as it is.
That would be the case, and what Seo-jun saw was a four-person room. And it was because Mancheol and Demonic were lying on the bed in the hospital room.
Seeing that bizarre and disparate sight, Seo-joon tilted his head several times before asking.
“What is it?”
“What is it? I am in the same hospital as you.”
Seo-joon shook his head at Man-cheol’s plain answer and asked again.
“No, even if you are like that, why is Maseong-nim here?”
“Sir Pearl… Why am I acting like that?”
Mancheol grumbled, but Seojun didn’t care.
It was also because the demonic nature was not supposed to be here.
To be precise, he had to be in the VVVIP ward, not in this shabby four-person room.
No, the moment Maseong came to the hospital in the first place. Journalists, associations, it had to be very upsetting.
However, the sight I see now is not different from just an old man and a middle-aged man being admitted to the hospital.
As Seo-jun looked at him with a bewildered expression, Maseong shrugged his shoulders as if asking what the problem was.
“Can I not be here? Of the three of us, is Nioman the worst?”
“No, I don’t mean… uhhh not.”
Seo-jun stopped what he was about to say and just kept his mouth shut.
I must have asked the president of the association or something like that.
In hindsight, it didn’t matter too much.
Seojun shook his head once and opened his mouth again.
“Are you all better than that?”
Then Mancheol and Maseong uttered one word at a time.
“I have no big problems. The wound was deep, but they said it wouldn’t be a problem if it was treated.”
“So am I. I don’t know if it’s because of the first aid you gave me, but I think I’ll get better if I rest.”
Certainly, Mancheol didn’t seem to have a big problem, but Demonseong didn’t seem like that at all.
As expected, Maseong added the words.
“I was in a bad mood from the start. haha.”
At those demonic words, Seojun shrugged once.
It wasn’t good for him to insist that he was like that and that he wasn’t there either.
And judging from what he was saying, he seemed to be more energetic than when he was in the dungeon.
“however… How stunned have I been?”
“It’s been about half a day.”
Seo-joon was slightly surprised by Man-cheol’s answer.
It seemed like it hadn’t been long, but a lot more time had passed than I thought.
“Did you contact Soo-yeon?”
“……okay.”
Mancheol gave an unusually short answer and then kept his mouth shut.
Her eyes were slightly wet with a complicated expression.
Somehow, while contacting Soo-yeon, it seemed that various emotions were rising.
Anyway, the situation ended well with no problems with anyone.
Seo-joon was able to fully relax at that time with a smile that leaked out unnecessarily.
And right at that moment.
Manchul spat out his words.
“And I also contacted Seoyoon.”
“yes? What about Seoyoon?”
When Seo-jun tilted his head and asked, Man-cheol answered right away.
“Sooyeon said that. I’m worried about you. He must have contacted Soo-yeon while looking for you.”
“Ah…”
Seojun nodded unconsciously.
If you look at the situation, Seo-joon went with the blue dragon sword of the Sword Master and suddenly lost contact.
It was worth worrying about from Seoyoon’s point of view since she went to look for the missing Mancheol and went missing together.
“That’s why I’m coming with Suyeon.”
Seo-jun let out a smirk at the thought of Seo-yoon’s nagging that would soon follow.
Then, Maseong, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between the two, opened his mouth.
“I see you sleep. You said you had a daughter.”
“exactly. While earning money to send her to Hunter Academy, it ended up looking like this. So don’t forget to give me the reward as promised.”
Mancheol received the devilish words half seriously and half jokingly.
however.
“Hmm…”
For some reason, Maseong’s expression was unusual.
Maseong was silent for a while with a worried look on his face.
“I don’t think I’ll pay you…”
“No. I will definitely give you a reward. It’s just…”
Maseong added slowly.
“If you don’t mind, how about I teach your daughter?”
I felt like I heard something… very surprising.
Not only Mancheol, but also Seojun couldn’t help but doubt his own ears.
“……Inspiration? What did you just say? Are you senile by any chance?”
“What is senility? Of course, I will die soon, but I am not senile.”
“Then are you crazy?”
“I wasn’t even crazy.”
Mancheol asked with a puzzled expression.
“No, why is a nobleman who is neither senile nor crazy? I didn’t say there were many things to do.”
“It was. I did… but now I wonder if it’s necessary.”
With those words, Maseong suddenly looked at Seo-joon blankly.
“New wine should not be put into new wineskins.”
Then, Maseong uttered a meaningful word and looked away again.
“I don’t have much left of my life. Probably won’t make it past this year. I have nothing to do until then, but I wanted to spend the rest of my life teaching your daughter.”
“Still, old man is already a disciple…”
“Jimin has already surpassed me for a long time. nothing to teach And let me repay you for saving my life. Do you really intend to turn me into an ungrateful and shameless man?”
When Maseong said that, Mancheol didn’t open his mouth any more.
It is true that Maseong saved Mancheol, but on the contrary, it was true that Maseong could not be safe without Mancheol.
More than anything, honestly, it would have been nice if Mancheol was good, but it was because there was nothing bad about it.
“Of course, if you don’t want to become a wizard, you can’t help it. Heh heh heh.”
As Ma Sung said, it was useless if Soo-yeon did not want to become a wizard.
But who in the world would be reluctant to become a demonic disciple?
The reality was that if demonic nature would teach a hunter who had passed the professional hunter exam with a sword, he would change his job to a wizard for the second time without looking back.
Then, Maseong looked at Seojun and said.
“Actually, you can say that it was you who saved my life. How can you, if you wish, to give me my teaching?”
“no. If I’m going to give it to you, give it in money, not teaching.”
Of course, Seo-jun did not need the teachings of demons.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Maseong laughed loudly at Seojun’s answer without worrying.
It was because Seo-joon was the first person who rejected his teachings, and honestly, I didn’t expect it to be so harsh.
His pride could have been hurt, but Maseong somehow didn’t feel so bad.
“Good! I’ll give you the price of my life! How much will it be? The price of my life is not that cheap, so feel free to call me.”
“really?”
To be honest, I just said it… Seo-jun was surprised when he accepted it so coolly.
However, Seo-joon soon called for joy inside.
It was because the more money Seo-joon had, the better.
Moreover, since there was a cause and effect that saved demonic nature, it would also be applied to the Transcendent Academy.
Seo-joon immediately took out his smartphone.
It was to check the price of the lecture or the next equipment once again.
‘Come to think of it… It seems that the progress of the Hercules lecture has also gone up.’
It was just then that he tried to connect to the transcendent academy.
“this guy!!!”
A voice filled with anger resounded throughout the hospital from somewhere.
And that voice was quite familiar to Seo-joon.
It was only then that Seo-joon remembered a certain existence he had forgotten.
“Ha grandpa! What a misunderstanding…”
“What a misunderstanding! Get out of the way! I just can’t get over it this time!”
Startle.
And Seo-joon trembled at the voice he heard again.
At the same time, Seo-jun was able to recall once again that Man-cheol had contacted Seo-yoon as well.
Seo-joon felt a chill run down his spine and began to get impatient.
“You dare to sell the blue dragon sword? I will never leave this bastard of mine alone!!!”
thud! thud!
Seo-joon could feel the killing force caressing the scruff of his neck at the approaching footsteps that echoed throughout the hospital.
It was more life-threatening than facing a giant tree in a dungeon.
What do we do? Should I jump out the window now? But if it were Sword Saint-nim, wouldn’t he jump down and chase after me?
Or do you throw a real gungnier and run away?
Come to think of it, where is Gungnir? I bet he didn’t leave it in the dungeon…
Kwaaang!
“Yeah man!!!”
Before I could finish my thoughts, the swordsman entered the room as if breaking the door.
Afterwards, Seo-joon was able to realize it by looking at the face of Geomseong, which was filled with anger.
Seriously… I’m ready to kill!
“Ah ah no. Sword Saint-nim, that’s not it, just say my words once…”
“Shut up!!! I won’t take it lightly this time!!”
At the same time, the swordsman approached Seo-joon, exuding a tingling sense of murder.
Seoyoon tried to tear off the sword from the side, but it was not enough.
an imminent situation.
It was then.
“Who is this? Isn’t it the Sword Saint?”
Suddenly, a calm voice flowed from the back of the sword castle.
The swordsman wanted something, so he glanced behind him.
“It’s been a while, swordsman.”
“…hmm?”
And the appearance of the demon face.
“Why are you here…?”
The swordsman’s expression began to distort strangely.
