The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 11
◈ Episode 011. Mughal Slayer (3)
Kim Joo-hyuk was a genius who entered Valhalla in first place, but Relic’s gang honestly looked down on him.
Because the difference between the first and second years of Valhalla is very significant.
Is there a big difference in training?
Yes, there is something like that.
Is there a big difference in skills?
Of course there was that too. Basically, Valhalla involves a lot of practical training in the first year, and only students in the upper grades are directly involved in dungeons and labyrinths.
However, in reality, the above two did not make a difference between the first and second years.
In fact, among first-year students, those who seem to be a little more popular or those from families that are protected by the guardian constellation narrow the gap between first-year and second-year students very quickly.
So what on earth is the difference between first and second graders?
That is the ‘contract with the Constellation.’
All students in Valhalla had to enter the ‘Constellation Room’ in the second semester of their first year and make a contract with one of the constellations within it.
Of course, only members of families with a guardian constellation do not sign contracts because having ‘divine protection’ itself gives them more power than a contract with a common B-class constellation, but most contractees considered this contract very important. .
Because the level of the constellation meant the level of the contractor.
From the moment they sign a contract with the Holy See, students begin preparing to become ‘contractors’ in earnest.
From then on, the contract holder will be able to use the power of the constellation he or she contracted with in exchange for magical power.
And what that meant in a nutshell was that one had to sign a contract with the Holy See to be recognized as a full-fledged contractee.
In addition, there was Relic, the leader of the gang, who ranked 12th in the 2nd grade and had quite high grades among the 2nd graders, so they trusted Relic and looked down on Kim Joo-hyuk.
Yes, until Reric hit his head on a tree a little while ago and fainted.
The gang’s gaze all goes to Rerick, who is stuck in a tree, rolling his eyes out, and then quickly returns to Kim Joo-hyuk.
“….”
What is visible in the eerie silence is Kim Joo-hyuk, holding a black sword that seems to completely absorb light.
Wow!
“Geheuk!”
“Yellow Cut!”
He moved in an instant before anyone in the gang could react and struck the chin of the yellow-haired person in front with his sword sheath.
At the same time, the gang instinctively tried to receive the power of the constellations they had contracted by spewing out magical power with the weapons they were carrying, but –
oops! Bah! Bah!
“Red cut! Blue cut! Black cut!”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who came up with an incredible move before they could even raise all his magical power, instantly hit the three people on the head and stopped their actions.
The second graders, who were still conscious of the scene where almost half of the large group was killed in an instant, suddenly had this thought in their minds.
Should I fight? Or should I run away?
In their eyes, Kim Joo-hyuk’s movements actually didn’t look that great.
The speed of movement is slow and the speed of swinging the sword sheath is also slow.
However, what is strangely amazing is that with his slow movements and slow speed, he is breaking all the pots of the gang he is hanging out with.
The contradictory situation, which made them unable to understand why their gang was subjected to such an attack, threw the gang into confusion.
Wow!
“Yellow No. 2 is also cut!”
By the time the only member left in the group thought about running away, all of his other friends were rolling around on the ground.
“….”
Or at least the rest of him seemed to be dead, not lying around like those who were lying down.
After being hit by that black sheath, everyone didn’t make a single movement.
“This…this is crazy.”
The man stumbles backwards, swearing involuntarily.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk smiled and walked in front of him, holding the sword sheath.
“for a moment!!!”
At the moment Kim Joo-hyuk was about to swing his sword, he answered his voice calling out.
“why?”
“If you hit me, I will report you to the teacher’s office!”
“what?”
At Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, he looked like he was going to applaud for looking mean just by looking at him with his eyes wide open. He started talking non-stop as if his mouth had a motor.
“Who do you think will lose the most here? “If I report you to the teacher’s office after being hit by you now, you will suffer a lot of damage!”
“What are you doing?”
“joy! Don’t you believe it? Valhalla responds very strictly to violence between students. But what if you, who ranked first in your grade and have a clear path for future advancement, are met with rumors like this?”
“It’s so good~”
“Yes! “It’s so good…what?”
“I like it so much, you bastard!”
Wow!
“Kwaek!”
A man fell to the ground after being hit on the right cheek.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
He immediately screamed involuntarily due to the pain he felt in his cheek, but Kim Joo-hyuk instead smiled and spoke.
“Aissitpal~ So why are you shaking your head?”
“What is that!”
“If you had behaved well, you would have just been knocked out with one clean blow, but you really are a no-good guy.”
“you…! Don’t you know that if something like this happens in Valhalla, you will be expelled from school in extreme cases?”
“How do I know? “It’s been over a week now since I entered school.”
“You guy! You will regret it! “You’ll regret it!”
A man struggling as if screaming.
“Why do you guys attack me first and then get beaten up in the first place?”
“But we are the ones who got hit!”
“Oh yeah? So what you’re saying is, since no one has seen what happened here, if we just go to the teacher’s office and shake the mouth off, we’ll win, right?”
Sreung-!
“Now wait!”
The man was momentarily terrified by the voice and the sight of Kim Joo-hyuk taking out the sword from its scabbard without hesitation.
Tsk – Kim Joo
-hyuk immediately cut a shallow wound on his arm and grinned.
“Is this self-defense?”
widely-!
“….”
and.
“Now put your hands down huh? Put your hands down? If you hit my hand, my bones will break~”
Baaaaaaaa!
“Kwaaagh! Save me! help me!”
“Hey! Put your hands down!? Do you really think that if you get hit with that one more time, your bones will break? “I just need to get punched in the face comfortably, right?”
Baaaaaaaa!
Kim Joo-hyuk returned to the dormitory only after the man who had threatened him rolled his eyes.
####
[Is it okay?]
“What?”
Valhalla Dormitory.
Kim Joo-hyuk answered the voice ringing in his head in a place that seemed to be about 6 to 7 pyeong in terms of square footage.
[Those guys from earlier.]
“Those guys who started a fight with me?”
[Yes.]
“You’re suddenly worried about people?”
When Kim Joo-hyuk opened his mouth with a very shocked expression, Barce shook his head and spoke as if it was not true.
[It’s not that I’m worried about those guys, I’m just asking if they shouldn’t be expelled.]
In response to that question, Kim Joo-hyuk opened his mouth and waved his hand as if telling them not to worry.
“Don’t worry, you won’t get hurt.”
[…Is that so?]
“Well, at first, once I completed the conditions for entering the Constellation Room, I was really going to kill half of those bastards and leave….”
Kim Joo-hyuk trailed off and looked at the notification window floating in front of him. I saw.
[Find the weapon and the memory.]
[Valhalla Constellation Room, 3rd basement level, fifth room on the right] [Conditions satisfied]
[Madegaia Rona’s house in the Valhalla Great Forest] [Caution※ Conditions can only be satisfied if you have a village sword] [
■ ■■■■■ ■■■ ■■■■■ ■■ ■■■]
The next condition that comes to mind as the first condition is satisfied.
“Valhalla, the Eye of the Great Forest….”
In fact, if Valhalla had been separated and only the ‘Eye of the Great Forest’ had been attached, Kim Joo-hyuk would not have paid much attention to it, but he found out that Valhalla was attached in front of the name, so he looked it up.
“It’s a survival place we go to at the end of the first semester of first year…”
The place called ‘Eyes of the Great Forest’ is the name of a labyrinth managed by Valhalla and a place used as a test site to select expulsions at the end of the first semester of first year.
“It’s good that you noticed.”
[…Is that what you meant by looking at it?]
“If you hadn’t, they would have already broken their heads like you did.”
[Dep…?]
“Besides, I don’t really care if they try their best to stab me and harm me. “Anyway, my goal is not to lead a proper school life, but to find out why.”
[…I see.]
“So you brought it with you too?”
To be honest, at first, Kim Joo-hyuk had no intention of coming out with a sword.
Basically, the village sword was Kim Joo-hyuk’s favorite weapon, but the problem was that what was inside it was a barche.
That alone made my feelings of rejection soar.
However, the reason Kim Joo-hyuk brought out this sword containing Barche was because a notification window appeared saying that the second condition can only be satisfied if you have a village sword.
‘It’s also dangerous to just leave this guy out there.’
Barce said that he had already lost all his power and had no power left to make a contract, and that he had become a mere existence in a relic, but Barce was Barche.
Barche, the King of Destruction.
No matter how weak he became, it did not change the fact that this guy descended to earth 300 years ago, dragging the Tower of Destruction and befriended him.
‘If it looks even slightly suspicious, it should be destroyed immediately.’
Kim Joo-hyuk thought like that and opened his mouth.
“Hey, so that doesn’t work, right?”
[What do you mean?]
“You. “Are you sure it won’t get caught?”
It may be a bit surprising, but Kim Joo-hyuk eventually brought a village sword from the Constellation’s room to satisfy the conditions.
And although this village sword definitely belonged to Kim Joo-hyuk, it was a relic managed by Valhalla right now, and the village sword was the property of Valhalla.
In short, Kim Joo-hyuk was in a situation no different from stealing one of Valhalla’s most precious relics.
[Don’t worry. Didn’t you see that I made an exact replica of this sword?]
“Did you say that was your ability?”
[That’s right, all of his power was gone, but when he woke up from this sword, he was able to use ‘duplicate’ and ‘storage’.]
Surely, as he said, Barche duplicated the village sword exactly and stored it in Kim Joo-hyuk’s body and entered the Constellation Room. By leaving, I was able to exit the building naturally without any magic circles or alarms going off.
“The village sword originally didn’t have that ability.”
[I explained it several times before, but I don’t know why I developed this ability.]
At Barce’s words, Kim Joo-hyuk half-heartedly waved his hands as if he understood and stood up.
[Where are you trying to go?]
“Exercise.”
To be honest, he wanted to organize the information he had gained today and take it easy, but Kim Joo-hyuk’s body was so weak that it was a waste of a day, so he couldn’t rest his training.
‘Plus, I feel a sense of elation of my own.’
In the past, I didn’t even feel like I was getting stronger as I was struggling to survive and training my body, but now it’s different.
‘Perhaps because it is a body that has not been trained from the beginning, its abilities quickly improve just by training.’
Since Kim Joo-hyuk’s body was not properly capable of improving its abilities from the beginning, his achievements were not too bad just by training a little.
The sense of elation I felt from that wasn’t too bad.
Therefore, he immediately changed into training clothes and headed to the fitness room.
and.
-…I’m sorry, but I’m leaving here.
Snap –
“You idiots!”
Rockdil Ventrick threw away his smartphone after finishing the call with Relic’s voice.
