The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 199
◈ Episode 199. It’s called a labyrinth? (3)
Ilkyo (一敎) was once a group in the shadows that was feared by everyone and was extremely reluctant to be associated with even evil people.
In addition, the association and guild were afraid of Ilgyo becoming known to the world, so they did not disclose their issues to the general public, so Ilgyo was a group of fear for the few who knew of its existence.
And the Ilgyo that reigned with everyone’s fear.
“W-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
“….”
He was currently living an unemployed life in a luxury apartment in Cheonho-dong.
“Wow-Ah-Ah-Aang ↘”
Even though it’s time to get cold, the only women’s left in front of the fan in a comfortable dress.
Looking at him like that, Jeon Ho-beop, the man wearing the skull, sighed and spoke.
“What are you doing, left guard?”
“Are you playing?”
Jeon Ho-beop said as he saw her raising her hand in a very relaxed manner with an innocent expression.
“…Don’t you have anything to do?”
“Of course not. In the first place, Kim Joo-hyuk didn’t call us at all after he said, ‘Just relax and have fun and come out to help when you need it,’ right? The same goes for Tugu-nim.”
“…That’s right.”
Dugwinim certainly nodded as he had not interfered with the members of Ilgyo at all since he met Kim Joo-hyuk, and Jwahobeop, seeing Jeon Hobeop like that, spoke while playing with his long straight hair.
“So, we have fun in our own way, too.”
“But isn’t it a waste to use up the lifespan we gained by drinking the ‘water of eternal life’ like this?”
Water of eternal life.
It was an item that came out 52 years ago in an S-class dungeon called ‘Eternal Life’. Drinking the water had the effect of randomly increasing the user’s lifespan from as little as 50 years to as much as 80 years.
In addition, from the time you drink the water of eternal life, your appearance becomes fixed.
As the name of the item suggests, it does not give true eternal life, but it is an incredible item that anyone would be greedy for.
All of the members of Ilgyo had ingested the water of eternal life, of which only 9 had appeared in the world in the self-rebirth of immortality.
“is it? “I am very satisfied.”
The left guard method responds leisurely even to such words of the former guard.
“As expected, age is-”
“What?”
Jeon Ho-beop tried to open his mouth, but when Joo Ho-beop asked back immediately, he felt a series of murderous words and closed his mouth.
‘Is a woman’s age a taboo?’
Now, thanks to continuous training from Lord Two Demon, there is an overwhelming difference in force compared to the left guard method, but the eerie feeling he feels makes him unconsciously touch his chin.
Silence for a while.
Tugui immediately looked away and opened his mouth.
“So where is the law of friendship and the law of patronage?”
“Oh, those two? “It seems like you’re into something strange these days and go there all the time?”
“Something strange?”
In response to Jeon Ho-beop’s question, Jwa Ho-beop nodded and then closed his mouth as if he was remembering.
After some time has passed.
“Oh, that’s it.”
“that?”
“What… what of legends? “I heard they’re going to do that.”
“Are you talking about the game?”
“Ugh, it’s probably a game. These days, I always play Duo or Duo, so I go out early in the morning and don’t come back until dawn. “I heard you’ll be going to gold soon.”
The words of Jwahobeop.
Jeon Ho-beop looked blank for a while, then nodded and turned around.
“Then I will go.”
“where?”
“I am training.”
“Ah… Didn’t you say that the Constellation would personally train you?”
“right.”
“go for it.”
Jeon Ho-beop glanced at Jwa Ho-beop, who was muttering with a relaxed expression, then quickly turned his gaze and left the apartment.
‘…What is this defeated feeling?’
Jeon Ho-beop walked towards Valhalla Academy, feeling somewhat defeated.

“…Mojil?”
As soon as he saw the training room, Kim Joo-hyuk looked at the beak mask and muttered that without realizing it.
“Yes Master!”
The moment when Buriga Mask smiled very brightly.
Pot-!
“?”
The beak mask disappeared.
“…what?”
Kim Joo-hyuk mutters while looking at the place where the beak mask was with a puzzled expression.
“Let me explain.”
Meanwhile, Kim Joo-hyuk was able to see Adelia Bentrick walking out a little staggered from one side of the training room.
“….”
Adelia Bentrick looks very tired.
“Why do you look so tired?”
Kim Joo-hyuk asks the question right away.
In response, Adelia Bentrick gave a somewhat innocent but resigned smile, shook her head as if it was nothing, and began to lightly explain the current situation.
Kim Joo-hyuk had been listening to the story for a while.
“…Is this because what you showed me a little while ago was an incarnation that required the minimum amount of magical power?”
“yes.”
Adelia Bentrick began to talk again as if she was organizing things.
“As you know, Kim Joo-hyuk, there are two ends to the incarnation. One is to manifest the Constellation in my body, and the other is to manifest the Constellation’s body as is.”
“I know that.”
When Kim Joo-hyuk nodded, she continued talking.
“Among them, the second one, which manifests the true spirit of the Constellations, is too risky, as Kim Joo-hyuk knows, so even the Constellations do not want to use it.”
“What I just told you is that I found out how to summon it here while minimizing the risk of the constellation as much as possible. What is this?”
“that’s right. Just like I did now, I used the minimum amount of magic stones and at the same time created a shape based on my body-”
Adelia Ventric’s complex explanation follows.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk did not pay attention to it and simply entered it into his head as ‘how to manifest without risk.’
Anyway, even if Kim Joo-hyuk heard Adelia Bentrick’s complicated words, he wouldn’t be able to understand them.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk had no desire to crush the mood of Adelia Bentrick, who was proudly talking as if she had accomplished something great, so he quietly listened to the story.
“In conclusion, you’re literally just creating a shape, right?”
“That’s right, we keep the magic power to a minimum and increase the duration, but sparring is impossible at all.”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who soon heard Adelia Bentrick’s conclusion, nodded once and asked.
“So, aside from the fact that you made this, why is the beak mask wearing something like that?”
Kim Joo-hyuk recalled the clothes worn by Buri Mask, one of his students.
Even if you look at it, the clothes are very soft.
Kim Joo-hyuk, remembering that she was wearing clothes of a completely different style from the clothes she always liked, looked at Adelia Bentrick and asked that question.
“…How was it?”
Kim Joo-hyuk seemed to think for a moment when he heard Adelia Bentrick’s voice asking something nervously.
“It was strange.”
That’s what he said.
“Personally, I wonder why you wore those clothes. “Is your fashion sense slowly changing?”
In fact, Kim Joo-hyuk didn’t really have the sense to dress stylishly.
To begin with, he was and still is the type of person who dresses casually and was not the type who thought clothes were particularly important.
‘Plus, if you look at Buriga Mask’s expression earlier.’
Kim Joo-hyuk had an extremely unnatural expression, so it didn’t seem like such clothes suited him at all.
So I said that.
“…Kim Joo-hyuk, I will go back today.”
“huh? suddenly?”
“I think I need to go write a will.”
“…what?”
Adelia Bentrick suddenly continued the conversation like that and walked out the door of the training room with weak steps without Kim Joo-hyuk having time to say anything.
“…What was it?”
In the end, Kim Joo-hyuk could only stare blankly at the training room where Adelia Bentrick left for a while.
####
The lounge inside the training room has become very large as a new training room has been created.
Of course, that doesn’t mean there are many users of the training room.
Currently, there are a total of ten users in the training room.
Among them, Barce trained, but only to the extent of sparring with Kim Joo-hyuk.
Yoo So-yeon and Oh Se-hyuk, who are being taught by Yan Lang and Choi A-rin, respectively, are training in the side training room that Black Cat recently built, so there were about seven people who were training all the time.
In short, the lounge did not need to be this large for about 10 people to use it at its maximum, but the lounge did get bigger.
Yanrang was sitting alone in such a large lounge.
“300 years…”
I was taking a short break alone to continue my thoughts.
[Are you still thinking about that?]
Seolnanshin, who had appeared as if he had heard what he said, asked a question, and Yanrang answered with a slightly sulky expression.
“You’re not thinking about it, are you?”
[But why has it been like that ever since I heard that story?]
“Is that because… something feels… strange?”
In fact, Yan Lang did not pay any attention to the fact that Kim Joo-hyuk was 318 years old.
Even though Kim Joo-hyuk is 318 years old, if you think about it calmly, the current Kim Joo-hyuk was reincarnated and is the same age as you.
‘But still, there’s something small…’
Yan Lang made a strange expression without realizing it.
I obviously didn’t really care about age, but honestly, it was something that strangely bothered me.
[Hmm, are you disappointed because the man you dated actually looks 18 years old on the outside but is old on the inside?]
Barce’s question.
But surprisingly, Yan Lang responded right away.
“That’s not true.”
Actually, Yan Lang didn’t really have such thoughts.
‘Of course, I was shocked when I first heard that he was a person from 300 years ago.’
Rather, the reason Yan Lang is strangely concerned now is not because of his age, but because of the difference in values of 300 years.
“So… wouldn’t Kim Joo-hyuk’s values be a little different if he were 318 years old?”
Yan Lang’s question.
[Hmm?]
At that, Seolnanshin made a hum sound as if he was thinking about what this meant for a moment, and then opened his mouth as if he had realized it.
[Oh, since Kim Joo-hyuk is older, he may not think of you as a romantic partner… Is it something like that?]
“Yes. “It is like that.”
[Then there is no need to worry about that at all.]
“…There is no need to worry at all?”
[This means that even if Musin is 300 years older, he will not view you as a child. All men have certain parts that do not change no matter how old they get.]
“…How do you know that?”
Yan Lang frowns.
Seolnanshin seemed to think about it for a moment and then spoke as if an idea had suddenly occurred to him.
[Just wait a moment.]
With those words, Seolnanshin cancels his manifestation state.
Yanlang looked at him with a questioning expression,
and wow!
It wasn’t long before Yan Lang realized that a video from Black Cat had arrived on his smartphone.
“?”
Without realizing it, Yanrang clicked on the video that came from Black Cat.
At that place.
“…Barche?”
There was Barce.
That too.
[Ayyy! Jungle Chai!]
Barce is spitting out profanity.
Yanlang looks at the video with a blank expression.
At the same time, Xue Nanxin appeared again in Yan Lang’s body.
[Barce lived longer than Kim Joo-hyuk, but when you look at him like that, you don’t really see any difference from people these days, right?] He
soon said that.
Yan Lang was blankly listening to Barce lead the jungler’s parents into a coffin and send them to heaven.
“…Iknow, right.”
Even though I was aware that the situation was a little off, I unconsciously came to terms with it.
