The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 105
◈ Episode 105. What is this all of a sudden? (1)
Inside the old shack.
“This is the conclusion.”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who had been listening to the guide’s story for a while, nodded for a moment as if remembering the guide’s words and then spoke.
“So what you’re saying is that among the constellations that now have names is ‘Keykeeper’?”
Key keeper.
Kim Joo-hyuk knew the constellation with that name.
Unlike other constellations, that constellation has very poor basic combat capabilities.
If you ask how low it falls, only ordinary contractors would win, but its combat ability is so weak that it would struggle against a contractor like Rania.
However, even so, in Kim Joo-hyuk’s memory, the Keykeeper remained a very annoying guy among the guys he faced at the Tower of Destruction.
That’s because Kim Joo-hyuk’s knowledge of the Keykeeper’s abilities made it very difficult to deal with him, no matter how low his combat power was.
“Hmm.”
After finishing thinking about the key keeper he met at the Tower of Destruction for a while, Kim Joo-hyuk quickly looked away and opened his mouth.
“If you catch that key keeper, you can open the arena, right?”
“that’s right. To be precise, the arena door is opened and all constellations can enter and exit there.”
“Then it will be a little easier to find a disciple.”
Kim Joo-hyuk muttered that the reason he wanted to open the arena in the first place was to find disciples more quickly and easily, but the guide shook his head.
“Of course, that is one of the positive effects, but it is not the only one.”
“That’s not all?”
She nodded at Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
“If the arena is opened, all the constellations currently in the labyrinth will be able to gather in the arena. And that means the constellations’ personal space is now gone.”
“Personal space?”
The guide nodded to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
“Yes, now all the constellations have their own private time in the relic, but when the arena opens, that personal space will disappear completely. That’s because other constellations can invade that personal space.”
“Does that mean that constellations can come out to the arena and go to places where other constellations are?”
“that’s right.”
“…is that a good thing?”
Kim Joo-hyuk muttered that and tilted his head.
From Kim Joo-hyuk’s perspective, he was seeking strength by absorbing the constellations that had come down to earth.
However, if the arena suddenly opens and the constellations start fighting among themselves, wouldn’t it be no different from the constellations that Kim Joo-hyuk will deal with disappearing?
‘In addition to that.’
If the evil gods and constellations fought each other, the evil gods would certainly die, but it was obvious that the constellations would also die.
This means that the power of the contractors who maintain most of the power of the constellations will be reduced.
“I don’t think it’s that good?”
That’s why Kim Joo-hyuk opened his mouth to the guide with a strange expression on his face.
After hearing Kim Joo-hyuk’s answer, the guide opened his mouth as if he knew everything.
“I can roughly guess what you’re worried about. “From your perspective, it may feel like you are burning fire just to find disciples.”
“I’ve never really thought of a metaphor, but it definitely feels like that.”
At Kim Joo-hyuk’s affirmation, the guide smiled and spoke.
“But don’t worry. “Maybe even if we open the ‘Arena’, the things you’re worried about won’t happen.”
“okay?”
“Maybe there is…”
The guide seemed to think about something for a moment and then asked Kim Joo-hyuk.
“How strong were your disciples who are now Constellations in their past life?”
“I grew up to be so strong and strong that I didn’t have to go around getting beaten up by strange kids.”
“…Well, can you tell me in a little detail?”
“A little more detail?”
“Yeah, if you say it like that, I can’t really tell how strong you are. “A little more specifically…”
The guide trailed off and then spoke as if something had just occurred to him.
“Okay, if you open the arena door like this, how strong are your disciples there?”
“Of course, it goes from 1st to 5th.”
“…huh?”
“Why are you looking at me like that? “To begin with, I was number one 300 years ago, so of course my students should be at that level.”
Kim Joo-hyuk opened his mouth without the slightest hesitation as if it were completely natural, and the guide paused for a moment, but then smiled.
“So why are you suddenly asking why my students are strong?”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, the guide spoke straight away.
“Perhaps, if my thoughts are correct, the stronger your disciples are, the more advantageous it will be for you when the arena opens.”
“okay?”
“Well, this is still just my opinion, so I’ll let you know after confirming this a little more. “The reason I summoned you now was to tell you not to absorb the ‘Keykeeper.’”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded at the guide’s words and then tilted his head as if he suddenly became curious.
“Then where do you get this information from?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
The guide seemed to think about it for a moment and said,
“Even though my name was taken away, I still have some talents that remain. And next time we tell this story again, I’m looking forward to finding out why the Labyrinth Lord closed the arena.”
After saying that, he sent Kim Joo-hyuk away with the words to meet him next time.
####
The office on the second floor of the Bentrick family’s main house always has a serious atmosphere.
no.
I had.
Until a few days ago.
And if we were to be honest, Adelia Bentrick’s office wasn’t particularly noisy even now.
However, something a little different from before was that eight monitors were added inside Adelia Bentrick’s office, which originally only had a desk and a simple stack of documents. What was
different
in Adelia Bentrick’s office was that all eight monitors showed images of the training grounds of Valhalla Academy.
“Huh…”
And Adelia Bentrick, who was looking at the eight very large monitors next to her office, looked at Kim Joo-hyuk’s image on the eight CCTVs and recalled something that had happened not long ago.
Adelia Bentrick felt that the family was flooded with water thanks to Kim Joo-hyuk in the recent global war, and she wanted to return to the family to row.
Because it was clear that an opportunity like this would never come again.
However, Buri Mask threatened to never leave this place where her teacher was, so she ended up having to follow Buri Mask’s wishes and stay in Valhalla.
No matter what happened to the family, the top priority was not the family but the Holy See’s intentions.
Therefore, she tried to give up on returning to her family, but it was Black Cat who unexpectedly helped her.
He persuaded Buri Mask on the condition that he share the CCTV footage of the training facility that Kim Joo-hyuk is currently using.
In the end, her Holy See responded to her persuasion and allowed Adelia Ventrick to return to the family.
‘Why on earth did you help me…?’
Adelia Bentrick, who did not know that Black Cat had received orders to ‘take that little bastard away from Master at any cost,’ thought the help of Black Cat, whom she had no particular contact with, a little strange, but soon decided to think positively of it.
I don’t know why the relationship between the Holy Sees is not good, but in the end, the Ventrick family and the market had no choice but to become a team with Kim Joo-hyuk as the central point.
‘Think of it as help this time.’
Therefore, Adelia Bentrick decided to keep those thoughts in her heart and express her gratitude to the Black Cat.
[Beak Mask tells you to hurry up.]
“I understand, Constellation.”
Adelia Bentrick, who soon read the notification window that appeared in front of her, came out of her thoughts and looked at the monitor in front of her.
‘Kim Joo-hyuk Fan Cafe’
I wonder who designed it, but this fan cafe looks very simple.
Likewise, Adelia Bentrick, who had just checked the fan cafe with about 100 members, slowly moved the mouse, which she was not good at. Click
‘Sign Up’
–
I clicked the sign up button.

next day.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who saw that the training ground that Rania had destroyed had been restored cleanly, was once again impressed and began training.
After the morning training was over.
[It seemed quite crowded last time, but this time you are alone.]
“Everyone said they had to go because they had work to do.”
In the first place, the light was the same when Mojil came, and even before that, he didn’t show up unless it was something special.
In the case of Adelia Bentrick, she returned to the family because of the sudden increase in work due to the secret weapon incident.
Of course, Mojil seemed to be trying to decide to stay here, but before Kim Joo-hyuk could say anything, Black Cat said something and he agreed and went back.
‘What on earth did you say?’
Kim Joo-hyuk suddenly felt curious as he saw Adelia Bentrick’s skin color change in real time before Black Cat spoke about what it was, but he quickly shrugged and erased the thought.
Anyway, if I thought about it, it wasn’t something I should have asked directly.
[Rather than that, if you follow what you said yesterday, finding a disciple will be much faster than now.]
Barce asks a question while thinking like that.
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded.
“I guess so. First of all, if the arena is opened, information exchange between constellations will be faster.”
[The disciples you need to find… I found two, so now there are three left?]
“Right…huh?”
[Why are you doing that all of a sudden?]
When Barce asked, looking at Kim Joo-hyuk who had a blank expression on his face and let out an exclamation, he seemed to think for a moment and then spoke.
“Now that I think about it, I had forgotten.”
[What do you mean?]
“You mean the last time we investigated mass murder?”
[Massacre? Ah.]
After hearing Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, Barce seemed to think for a moment and then sighed as if it had just occurred to him.
[…Obviously, something happened right after I heard that story, so I forgot about it too.]
“…Okay.”
Just before the incident began in earnest, Kim Joo-hyuk entrusted Adelia Bentrick with investigating the ‘mass massacre’ and heard from her about the circumstances of the incident.
The problem was that something else happened right after that, and as he was trying to solve that problem, the problem was naturally forgotten in Kim Joo-hyuk’s mind.
Kim Joo-hyuk briefly recalled what he had heard from Adelia Bentrick, then tilted his head and opened his mouth.
“…Did you say THE ONE was holding that sword?”
[I think that’s what I remember.]
Kim Joo-hyuk muttered for a moment after recalling that he had heard from Adelia Ventrick that Logan, the current top contractor, had suppressed the massacre at that time and had a sword.
“I guess I should meet THE ONE sometime.”
Kim Joo-hyuk muttered that and contacted Black Cat.
So after a while.
“…huh?”
After finishing talking about Logan to Black Cat, Kim Joo-hyuk was browsing his smartphone while eating lunch as usual.
[Defeated by a high school student from one of China’s three major families!]
[The new head of the Xue family! Showing overwhelming inaction!]
[In an interview with Yan Lang, the head of the Seol family who defeated all three major families, he said, “The Seol family belongs to Kim Joo-hyuk”!]
“What is this again?”
I was able to see some strange news.
