The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 139
◈ Episode 139. I’ll solve it (2)
To put it bluntly, Black Cat had an expression that made me feel a little anxious.
The reason is because of Kim Joo-hyuk.
‘…What on earth are you planning to do?’
Black Cat turned to the window and looked outside.
What you see is an empty space.
Black Cat made a strange expression as she remembered Kim Joo-hyuk, who had disappeared somewhere along with the students who had been camping out to be allowed back into the Constellation Room just moments ago.
‘No, really, what are you trying to do…’
Of course, Black Cat knew that Kim Joo-hyuk was not the kind of person who would destroy all of the students just because he did not like them.
“….”
…I knew.
‘I guess I know it right, right?’
Black Cat felt anxiety rising in her heart for some reason and looked toward the vacant lot where Kim Joo-hyuk and the students had disappeared.
‘No… actually, it doesn’t mean that we can’t take care of things if we hunt them down.’
Of course, Black Cat had the ability to take care of whatever Kim Joo-hyuk did.
It was absolutely possible as long as it wasn’t a random massacre of civilians in the middle of the street.
However, apart from that, cleaning up things like that was very difficult and tiring.
First of all, there were a lot of things that needed to be researched in advance in order to completely follow up.
‘I should have dealt with it beforehand…’
In fact, Black Cat was planning to deal with the protesters as soon as possible even if Kim Joo-hyuk did not personally offer to deal with them.
In any case, the demands the students were currently making in front of the chairman’s office were nonsensical demands, and no matter how much they protested in the first place, Black Cat had no obligation to listen to them.
In the first place, what they are saying now by coming to the chairman’s office is no different from asking for special treatment only for themselves.
In short, if you think about it purely, it didn’t matter that Black Cat didn’t particularly care about those students.
However, the reason why Black Cat bothered to deal with them was because, regardless of the reason for the protest, the fact that students were doing that in front of the chairman’s office did not look good in the eyes of the world.
Therefore, Black Cat tried to deal with the protesting students sooner or later, but Kim Joo-hyuk quickly took the students away.
‘…I have a lot of work to do, but I hope it doesn’t have to be that much.’
Black Cat, who had been looking at the window for a while, thought about this and soon looked away from the window.
Even if he was worried, there was nothing he could do since Kim Joo-hyuk took him.
And as time passed, the incident was slowly forgotten in Black Cat’s mind.
[Chairman… What on earth did you do?]
“Yes?”
Suddenly, Lee Sang-cheol, a veteran instructor at Valhalla Academy, called into the chairman’s office.
[The students who were protesting under the building where the Chairman lives this time…!]
“Oh yeah…”
[Even though no constellation had properly contracted, the ones who signed with a D-class constellation… all of them. This midterm exam score was in the top 100…!]
“…Huh???”
[You are truly amazing…!]
I was able to hear a very interesting story.
####
Immediately after hearing that story, the place Black Cat moved to was the training room provided for students to use.
And there.
“Whoop-! Whoop-!”
“???”
Black Cat looked around with an even more questioning expression after seeing that quite a few students had gathered in the fitness room, where flies were always flying.
“Ugh!”
“Hwaap!”
“evil!!”
Students are crazy about exercising and making strange noises.
In the first place, Black Cat, who knew that the trend of contractors these days was to focus on magical energy rather than physical training, found the sight of such students very interesting, but since that was not the reason Black Cat had come, she soon began to shift her gaze.
soon.
‘…there is?’
Black Cat was able to find a man.
Or, to be more precise, I was able to find a student who held a protest demanding to be allowed into the Constellation Room at the beginning of the school year.
Even Black Cat, who basically didn’t care much about others, remembered the faces of the students who personally organized the demonstration and gathered the students.
However, after Black Cat found him, I unknowingly expressed my doubts.
‘Hasn’t it… changed a bit?’
This was because the image of the student he saw at the beginning of the semester and the image of the student that Black Cat was looking at right now were very different.
However, the face did not change.
If the face had changed, he wouldn’t have recognized it.
But why did Black Cat think so?
‘…body.’
This was because the body of ‘Ji Woon-seok’, a student who had organized protests with a thin body until recently, had become enlarged to a level that was completely different from when I saw him before.
Also with muscles.
“oh! Chairman!”
As Black Cat looked at him blankly, Ji Woon-seok, who had been lifting and lowering a weight that would bend the iron bar just a moment ago, approached Black Cat with a refreshing smile.
Ji Woon-seok clearly has a very relaxed expression rather than the anger-filled eyes he knew at the beginning of the semester.
Black Cat looked at the meteor approaching her and immediately began to think about what to ask first.
Would it be better to ask about those muscular muscles first?
Otherwise, what on earth did Kim Joo-hyuk say to the students?
Black Cat thought for a moment and soon came to a conclusion.
The reason Black Cat came here in the first place was because he was curious about how the students ended up like this.
However, Black Cat had no choice but to keep her mouth shut at the words that followed.
“Thank you very much, Chairman.”
“…yes?”
“Probably, if the chairman hadn’t sent us Joo-hyuk… no, the leader, we would have continued to live as losers.”
‘What on earth did you say? ‘What is the leader there?’
My curiosity grows with Ji Woon-seok’s words.
However, Ji Woon-seok started praising Kim Joo-hyuk from the beginning as if he had no intention of solving Black Cat’s curiosity.
“The leader…”
“The leader-”
“The leader-”
“The leader-”
Black Cat, who had been listening to the story for a while, could not contain his curiosity and asked.
“But”
“Yes, please say so.” Chairman.”
“Where did the word ‘sect leader’ come from?”
Black Cat’s question.
Ji Woon-seok opened his mouth with a refreshing smile that did not match his huge muscles.
“We decided to call it that.”
“…Are you a student of Ji Woon-seok?”
“Yes, to be exact, all the students who received the teachings at that time were so impressed by the teacher’s teachings that they decided to call him teacher.”
Hearing Ji Woon-seok’s words, Black Cat looked at Ji Woon-seok with a serious expression.
Ji Woon-seok just has a refreshing expression.
‘…Did you go crazy because you got hit on the head?’
Looking at him like that, Black Cat thought that with a very serious expression, but he soon nodded.
‘I’ll have to ask.’
Soon he walked to the training center where Kim Joo-hyuk was.
####
“huh? “How did you do it?”
“I… I was so curious…”
To be honest, Black Cat thought quite a bit before opening the door to the training center where Kim Joo-hyuk was.
Is it really right to ask this? Isn’t it a pointless question to start with? Even the thoughts.
However, Black Cat could not contain his curiosity.
No, who on earth would tolerate it?
A student who, to be honest, could be said to be an inferior student, who held picket signs and shouted hard to be allowed to contract with a Constellation again since he signed a contract with a D-level constellation, ends up in the top 100 in the midterm exam rankings in just one month?
And almost all the students who participated in the protest?
‘No matter how much I think about it… I can’t figure out what happened.’
That’s why Black Cat approached and asked with a determined expression in order to resolve this question.
After hearing that, Kim Joo-hyuk shrugged his shoulders and spoke as if it was no big deal.
“Isn’t that just teaching you how to grow? No, to be precise, I was just telling you about the abilities of that D-class constellation.”
“Are you talking about the D-class constellation’s abilities?”
Black Cat’s question.
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded and answered.
“Well, all I did was teach you how to use the D-class constellation’s abilities properly.”
In fact, Kim Joo-hyuk at that time didn’t really do anything.
‘Originally, I was going to beat him later.’
In fact, when Kim Joo-hyuk first led the protesters, he was seriously thinking about engraving the basic theory of tenacity deep into their minds.
However, the reason he changed his mind was because of his curiosity about the D-class constellations.
To be honest, Kim Joo-hyuk was curious about the difference between S-class constellations and D-class constellations, so he immediately asked for the name of the D-class constellation that had signed a contract with them.
Kim Joo-hyuk soon found out that the D-class constellation’s name was ‘Hard-working monk’ and told him to look for him through Jiral.
And in that way, Kim Joo-hyuk, although not completely, was able to vaguely realize the difference in how the S-class and D-class constellations are divided, and as an added bonus, he has no interest in
his contractors at all. I just learned about ‘growth’, the ability of a ‘hard-working deacon’, and shared it with my students.
Well, I was very pessimistic and didn’t even try to listen, so I used a bit of force, but I talked to them in a way that they could understand.
‘Growth…’
Kim Joo-hyuk once again recalled the ability he had heard from a hard-working deacon.
An ability that definitely helps your body grow the more effort you make.
Of course, isn’t it a bit ambiguous to call it an ability when someone sees it? You may have thought so, but from Kim Joo-hyuk’s perspective, the deacon’s ability to work hard was not bad.
Well, that doesn’t mean that Kim Joo-hyuk will use his efforts as a deacon.
Besides, he already had enough harvest.
‘The difference is in awareness….’
Awareness.
Kim Joo-hyuk had roughly concluded that the reason for the differences in the power exercised by the constellations here was due to ‘recognition.’
Of course, Kim Joo-hyuk’s judgment could have been wrong, but at least from what Kim Joo-hyuk had thought about so far, the division of power among the constellations could only be explained by recognition.
That’s because Kim Joo-hyuk heard his name, and the people his students had heard of at least once were basically S-class or high-grade constellations.
On the other hand, those constellations that Kim Joo-hyuk had never heard of, or that were unfamiliar to his disciples or even the King, had relatively low levels.
‘Well, this isn’t accurate either.’
Kim Joo-hyuk had come to that conclusion first.
Black Cat, who had been listening to the story in front of him a little while ago, made a strange expression, but soon nodded in understanding and tried to turn away.
“I…”
“Huh? Why again?”
Soon, Black Cat turned his gaze back to the sparring hall and had no choice but to talk to Kim Joo-hyuk.
“however… “What happened to that?”
That’s right too.
“Ah, that one?”
This was because in the sparring room he was currently looking at, he saw Choi A-rin and Yan Lang lying face down, motionless, as if they had died.
“You’re in training, so you don’t need to worry.”
Kim Joo-hyuk opens his mouth as if it is no big deal while looking at Choi A-rin and Yan Lang, who are motionless as if they are dead.
Black Cat nodded and tried to look away –
“!”
-I was able to see Yan Lang and Choi A-rin, who looked like they were asking for help as they raised their heads with very desperate and desperate expressions.
A desperate and desperate expression that I have never seen on them before.
Black Cat paused for a moment.
“Oh, now that I’m thinking about it, do you want to do some training right now?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s voice is soon heard.
“No, I really appreciate it, but I have some work to do right now, so I’ll see you next time.”
Without a second thought, Black Cat said hello and left the training room at a slightly faster pace, forgetting to use her abilities.
