The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 2
◈ Episode 002. Why are kids so weak? (2)
Honestly, Kim Hyeon-oh thought life was like this.
I’m not complaining, but honestly, his life was pretty miserable even when viewed objectively.
Because without any other rhetoric, he just worked hard and ended up falling behind.
“Ah, it was a good fight.”
“Fuck the good fight, you bastard!”
Sigh!
He kicked Barce, the owner of the Tower of Destruction, in the face and exploded his head, as if to put an end to a fight in which there was nothing left, and then sat down with an annoyed expression on his face.
A system window pops up with it.
[You have defeated ‘Barce’, the owner of the Tower of Destruction.]
[The destruction of the world that the Tower of Destruction was accelerating has stopped!]
Kuggggggggggg!
The tower of destruction begins to collapse as soon as the window opens.
However, Kim Hyeon-oh was still sitting in front of Barce, who did not move and whose head was exploded.
No, to be exact, it wasn’t that it didn’t move, it was that it couldn’t move.
“under.”
There was a huge hole in his solar plexus.
A huge hole that nothing seems to be able to fill.
It was nearly impossible for an ordinary person to escape the Tower of Destruction with such fatal injuries that they would have died instantly from shock by the time the hole opened.
Moreover, even if they escaped, there was a high probability that they would not survive.
“Ha… Now I was wondering if I could live with some honey.”
Kim Hyeon-oh honestly felt unfair.
From a young age, I lived through all sorts of hardships, and even as I got older, I was always fighting monsters to make a living.
Then, I somehow managed to save money, gain some fame, and even save money for retirement, creating an environment where I could live comfortably, but the Tower of Destruction suddenly appeared and ruined everything.
Coogggggggeuggeuung-!
‘This obnoxious bastard really…!’
He felt the tower of destruction begin to collapse faster and faster and glared at Barce, the culprit of all this.
However, because he knew that Barche, the King of Death whose head had exploded from his kick, was already dead, he quickly turned his gaze away from Barche.
“My shitty life.”
As Kim Hyeon-oh looked at the tower that was beginning to completely collapse, he suddenly thought of his students.
His students, whom he had no doubt about, would finance his retirement, whom he taught with great care.
‘…I guess I should have brought him to the last floor.’
Kim Hyeon-oh suddenly thought of the disciples he had sent away from the previous floor because they were dangerous, but quickly shook his head.
Regardless of the bullshit, Barche, the King of Extinction, clearly possessed powers beyond the standard, and it was obvious that even if his disciples had come, they would have only been killed.
Therefore, Kim Hyeon-oh left behind a strange feeling of regret and closed his eyes as he watched the tower not only collapse but also be completely destroyed.
okay. That’s the last one.
The life of Kim Hyeon-oh, who was called a martial god by people in the world, came to an end there.
I definitely thought so.
however.
“….”
Kim Hyeon-oh was reincarnated.
In the body of a 17-year-old kid named Kim Joo-hyuk.
‘Well… honestly.’
So far so good.
In addition, the fact that he was reincarnated exactly 300 years after his death was a little confusing, but understandable.
Even though 300 years had passed, I found out that this world was not difficult to adapt to as a result of researching information using the living knowledge that remained in this body.
Basically, there are monsters and there are hunters who deal with those monsters… No, now the terminology has changed and there are people called ‘contractors’.
Yes, actually, for Kim Hyun-oh, that was enough.
Even if this body is too weak anyway, the knowledge that once led him to be called by unfamiliar titles such as the God of War or the King of Defeat remains in his reincarnated mind.
In short, honestly, Kim Hyeon-oh was happy to be reincarnated.
First of all, I thought that if I just adapted, I would be able to live the ‘sucking life’ that Kim Hyun-oh wanted in this world.
However-
[5 years later, the Tower of Destruction will appear! Prepare for this!]
“Fuck.”
-The translucent window in front of him was enough to make two curse words come out of Kim Hyeon-oh’s mouth.
‘Is this guy really my enemy?’
It may be surprising, but Kim Joo-hyuk was reincarnated for the first time in 300 years.
Yes, 300 years. 300 years!
However, after 300 years, I was lucky enough to be reincarnated with my memories, and now I was trying to live a life of pleasure, but the time when the Tower of Destruction appears coincides with the time of my reincarnation?
‘What kind of bullshit is this…’
Kim Hyun-oh, no, Kim Joo-hyuk seriously regretted not stepping on Barce’s entire body and crushing it to pieces right before he died.
‘No, instead of just smashing it, I should have thrown it into the lava on the 4th floor of the tower.’
However, even if I regretted it like this, there was no turning back.
He has already been reincarnated in the body of Kim Joo-hyuk.
The system window showed that the Tower of Destruction would appear in 5 years.
Then there is one thing you need to do.
‘Stop the tower.’
Of course, the reason Kim Joo-hyuk made that decision was not because he had love for humanity, nor because he wanted to gain great fame or anything else incidental.
There is only one reason why he made that decision.
‘Are you trying to disturb me again? ‘It doesn’t work that way.’
Kim Joo-hyuk wants to live a ‘honey-sucking life.’
And in order to live that sweet life, the world must not perish.
If the world is destroyed in the first place, he will never be able to enjoy the ideal life he thinks of… which is to say, a life where you can live without doing anything.
So stop it.
‘Anyway, this time, the moment we meet, I’ll split your limbs and bury you like Exodia so you can’t reappear.’
Kim Joo-hyuk thought so and immediately thought about what to do next.
‘First, enter Valhalla.’
The first thing he had to do was enter Valhalla.
Of course, Kim Joo-hyuk was not trying to enter Valhalla without knowing anything about it.
Rather, he searched for information for several days and had basic information about Valhalla.
Valhalla, the world’s best contractor training institution.
If you look at it up to that point, there was no particular reason for Kim Joo-hyuk to enter Valhalla.
Because there is nothing for him to learn by entering Valhalla.
Nevertheless, the reason why he wants to enter Valhalla.
[Find the weapon and the memory.]
[Valhalla Constellation Room, 3rd basement level, fifth room on the right]
[■■■ ■■■■■ ■■■■■ ■■ ]
[■■■■■■ ■■■ ■ ■■■■ ■■ ■■■]
It was thanks to another system window floating in front of his eyes.
‘It’s a weapon and a memory…’
Kim Joo-hyuk honestly didn’t know what the word ‘memory’ meant, even though he had a rough guess about it.
However, I felt instinctively that the system window right in front of me might be related to my reincarnation.
‘Well, actually, there are other reasons besides that…’
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at the map several times and checked, and there was something he needed to take care of within the large grounds of Valhalla.
‘I don’t know if there are still any left, but you can check that after you enroll.’
Kim Joo-hyuk thought that and smiled.
“We will start the TOP 10 selection on the 4th day, so if you are planning to play, please go up to the stadium!”
Soon, I stood up when I heard the staff’s voice.
####
The fourth day of Valhalla’s competition for admission rankings was quite a big event in the contractor industry.
That’s because the TOP10 selection competition includes a certain number of new students that scouts can take, even if it excludes children of the top five families who have already decided on where to enter after entering society.
In addition, the children of the five major families are mentioned a lot in various media outlets, so they are basically well-known, so ordinary citizens and reporters flock to the stadium.
As a result, the TOP10 selection event was bound to become a big event.
However, Lee Sang-cheol had never seen so many people gather for a TOP 10 selection match as at this moment.
‘There are so many.’
There were definitely a lot of issues in this TOP10 selection.
The first issue is that among the new students, all children of the five major families are included.
Normally, even if children from five generations of families enter Valhalla, they cannot all be of the same age, and this became an issue because children from five generations of families never entered Valhalla at the same time.
And the second issue arose because of the freshman who is currently on the field.
A man standing in the center of a hall where there is now only one stadium left.
On the other side stood Oh Se-hyuk, the legitimate son of the Oh Seon family, one of the five major families in Korea.
However, the ‘freshman’ in the second issue is not Oh Se-hyuk, but Kim Joo-hyuk, an ordinary freshman standing in front of him.
There are no visible physical features.
A body that is not sturdy, but is not small either.
His face didn’t look out of place, but he wasn’t handsome either.
Also, if there was any special personal information, it wasn’t there either.
Orphan without parents.
Other than that, the only information written in my personal information was that I passed the written test with pull-ups.
A freshman who questions literally everything.
[30]
Lee Sang-cheol watched the countdown with only 30 seconds left and focused his attention on the stadium where the public’s eyes were currently gathered.
####
Oh Se-hyuk, the eldest son of the Oh Seon family, grew up being called a genius from a young age.
Of course, some people say that those words are just to flatter the eldest son of the Osun family or to put Oh Se-hyuk in an exaggerated way to exalt the name of the family, but that was not true.
Oh Se-hyuk is a genius.
It really is.
Of course, he was not bright in academics.
He was also not very bright at strategy, and in fact, the martial arts that the Osun family was proud of was in some ways better than his classmates, but not significantly better.
So what made Oh Se-hyuk called a genius?
It was the body.
okay. flesh.
It is something that is already determined at birth, not supported by any effort.
Oh Se-hyuk’s body is actually something that goes beyond talent! It boasted incredible performance that could be said to be true.
He could easily perform movements that other people could only do using magic power, just by not using magic power, and he became stronger in an instant with just a little bit of physical training.
Just like a character from a game.
Is it because he has such an incredible body?
As he grew older, he became arrogant and neglected training in his family’s martial arts, but no one said anything to Oh Se-hyuk.
No matter what anyone says, he was the eldest son of the Osun family and a true genius with an unbelievable body.
That’s why he was arrogant and looked at the first victim of his brilliant career.
A freshman with nothing special about him.
However, from what Oh Se-hyuk heard, the freshman was currently making a huge splash by defeating Yoo So-yeon of Yushinga on the first day, as well as defeating all of her opponents with a single blow.
However, Oh Se-hyuk was not afraid.
No, it was actually good.
That’s because Oh Se-hyuk thought that knocking down such an issue maker was an opportunity to make his name known.
“I’ll kill you.”
Oh Se-hyuk sighs and opens his mouth.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who had been standing looking at him just a moment ago, asked with a strange expression.
“Horrible? What is that?”
“….”
For a moment, Oh Se-hyuk made a puzzled expression at his question, but then smiled and spoke.
[5]
“It means that I will destroy it horribly.”
[4]
“Ah, is it like an abbreviation?”
[3]
“Yes.”
[2]
“Then I’m sick.”
[1]
“What?”
[The match begins.]
“Shut up, idiot.”
Kim Joo-hyuk smiled and raised his middle finger wearing a gauntlet.
