The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 226
◈ Episode 226 About Avatar (1)
Even as the world was being destroyed, Valhalla Academy was preparing for the new semester.
As expected, the situation was ruined due to the dungeon explosion, but once the constellations found their names, the entire world was quickly restored.
Thanks to this, Valhalla Academy was able to continue smoothly without delaying the school opening schedule.
And in the training room on one side of Valhalla Academy, which is preparing for the start of school.
“Is there no one there?”
Yanrang, who had taken care of all the matters related to the snow family a little while ago, was looking around and muttering.
“Is there really no one…?”
Yanlang looks strangely disappointed.
In fact, she was strangely looking forward to returning to Valhalla Academy.
The reason is because of Kim Joo-hyuk.
‘It’s been a while since I haven’t seen his face, so I wanted to see him…’
Of course, even if he saw Kim Joo-hyuk’s face, Yan Lang didn’t mean to do anything.
If I said I would do it, I would have just talked as usual and then made a mockery of Kim Joo-hyuk, who was training hard.
However, even if she had no other thoughts, Yan Lang wanted to see Kim Joo-hyuk.
Why do you want to see it?
There are many reasons to make up, but in fact, there was no particular reason why Yan Lang wanted to see Kim Joo-hyuk.
I just want to see it.
After Kim Joo-hyuk recently dealt with the Labyrinth Jewel, Yan Lang strangely felt this feeling growing even more, and he was feeling doubtful about himself.
Of course, it was true that she liked Kim Joo-hyuk.
And I also knew that my feelings would not change.
however.
‘For some reason… I don’t think I was this obsessed…?’
Thinking like that, Yanlang blushed for no reason and scratched his head.
Rattling!
At that moment, she heard the sound of a door behind her and turned her gaze with a strange sense of anticipation.
“…Oh, was that you?”
Soon, Yanrang opened the door to the training room and looked at Choi A-rin, who came in, with an expression of blatant disappointment.
“…I’m disappointed too.”
Looking at her like that, Choi A-rin made a disappointed expression as if she was in the same situation.
Yan Lang gave him a slightly puzzled look.
But after some time.
“Ugh… let’s just train.”
In the end, Yan Lang swallowed his disappointment and decided to train until Kim Joo-hyuk returns.
While training like that.
[Hey~ Master, what are you really going to do without me?]
“?”
Yan Lang felt a strange memory pass by him.
####
Tower of Destruction.
“Can I ask you something?”
“What?”
As soon as Kim Joo-hyuk finished the transaction, Burigamyeon, who came down to the ground again to do the work he ordered, looked at Seolnanshin and answered.
“If you think about it, why don’t we call each other by our first names?”
Seolnanshin asks a question.
“What are you talking about?”
“Isn’t that the case that we have already found each person’s name because Musin gave them to us? But I was wondering why we don’t call each other by our names.”
In response to Seolnanshin’s question, Burigamyeon nodded, as if he understood what the question was.
“I’m just wondering if you’re okay now?”
“…are you still okay now?”
“We still call and talk to each other, but it’s not that much of an inconvenience, right?”
“…Well, that’s true.”
“Then it’s done, isn’t it?”
“…Is that so?”
“It’s like that. Besides, we don’t really call each other by our names in the first place, and Master always calls us by nicknames rather than our names.”
Seol Nan-shin, who saw the beak mask’s face soften slightly when talking about Master, looked at them with a very strange feeling.
The King of Dao nodded and spoke as well.
“I definitely got my name back, but I’m more used to being called Daowang now than my old name. “Isn’t it the same for you?”
Rather, it is Daowang who asks a question to Seolnanshin.
Seolnanshin made a strange expression and then nodded.
“It’s definitely not like that.”
Of course, when Seolnanshin lost his name 300 years ago, it felt very empty, but it was true that 300 years later, it didn’t feel that special.
‘That’s it…’
Seolnanshin was already too used to calling others by their second names to call them by their first names, so he answered by nodding as if he understood.

Kim Joo-hyuk became nervous without realizing it when his vision turned white.
The reason is because of something that happened not long ago.
‘Obviously, even back then, the sense was a sense summoned by a guide.’
Contrary to Kim Joo-hyuk’s thoughts, he was not summoned by a guide but by a strange man, so he was nervous and raised his magic power.
The moment the white light cleared and a very familiar shack appeared, Kim Joo-hyuk dissipated his magic and turned his head.
“Why are you suddenly nervous?”
As soon as you turn your head, what you see is the guide looking at you.
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at her like that, sighed as if he was relieved, and went to sit in front of her.
“I had something to be nervous about.”
“Something to be nervous about?”
The guide asks while tilting his head.
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded his head once and began to talk in detail about what happened to him not long ago.
“….” The
more the guide listened to Kim Joo-hyuk’s story, the more he listened to it with a serious expression on his face.
How much time has passed like that?
“Well, roughly because of this situation, but seeing that expression on his face, I think he knows something. that’s right?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
The guide remained silent for a while with a serious expression, and then opened his mouth as if to confirm.
“…The guy you met had an extra eye on his forehead between his two eyes?”
“okay.”
“…You saw the Heavenly Beast Avatar there?”
“At first, I thought it was blooming like a lotus flower, but if you look closely, it is all hands. If it is the incarnation of Heavenly Beast, then it is true.”
The guide continued to think for a while with a serious expression on Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
“I guess we really need to talk now.”
“?”
As he said that, he looked at Kim Joo-hyuk.
“Do you really need to tell me?”
Kim Joo-hyuk asks again.
The guide nodded and answered.
“Okay, now I think we’ve reached a point where you need to know enough. But-”
the guide spoke while looking at Kim Joo-hyuk.
“Let me tell you in advance that what I’m about to tell you right now is something that wouldn’t be good for you to find out at the beginning, so I didn’t tell you on purpose, so I don’t want you to be suspicious.”
“So you can hear my name from here too?”
The guide shook his head in response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
“No, that’s not it. As I said last time, your name only has meaning if you find it yourself.”
“That’s a bit disappointing.”
After saying that, Kim Joo-hyuk shrugged his shoulders as if to talk to the guide, and the guide stayed silent for a while as if he was organizing what he wanted to say.
“First of all, do you remember when we first met?”
“When we first met?”
“Yeah, I told you, right? “I lost my name to the Lord of the Labyrinth.”
At the guide’s words, Kim Joo-hyuk briefly recalled the past.
The first time I met her was when Kim Joo-hyuk met Yan Lang.
‘I think he definitely said something like that.’
Kim Joo-hyuk thought about it for a moment, then remembered what the guide had said about his name being taken away, and nodded.
“I did say that. But seeing you say that… Are you saying that actually having your name taken away was a lie or something?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
The guide shook his head.
“no. That’s not right. I’m sure my name was taken away. “The only thing that is a lie is that it was not Lord Labyrinth who stole the name.”
“…isn’t it Lord Labyrinth who stole your name?”
“okay. The guy who took my name is not Migungju, but someone else. Thanks to that, I actually only have one name left: ‘Guide.’”
“Does this old shack have something to do with losing its name?”
When Kim Joo-hyuk asked, the guide nodded.
“that’s right. In fact, if my situation wasn’t like this, I probably wouldn’t have met you in this old shack.”
“Anyway, first of all, I recognized that it wasn’t Lord Labyrinth who took your name.”
When Kim Joo-hyuk said that, the guide nodded and then fell silent for a long time, looking as if he was thinking about it.
Kim Joo-hyuk felt a little impatient, but stayed calm and waited for the guide to speak.
How much time has passed like that?
The guide, who had remained silent, opened his mouth.
“Sorry, it took me a while to think about how to tell you.”
“doesn’t care. “So, can we finally hear the story now?”
The guide nodded at Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
“Okay, but before we talk, I want to ask you one thing. Do you prefer simple or detailed stories?”
“Why all of a sudden?”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, the guide spoke.
“…I was wondering where I should start talking about this, and I realized that there was something I needed to talk about for a long time.”
“So is it everything from scratch or just the essentials?”
“yes. “If I tell you exactly the main points, it may be a bit difficult to understand, but I can explain only as much as is necessary.”
Kim Joo-hyuk thought about the guide’s words for a moment and then spoke.
“I guess I’ll just listen closely.”
In addition to being curious about his own identity, Kim Joo-hyuk said that because he was also curious about the identity of the incarnation of Heavenly Beast that he saw the other day.
The guide immediately nodded and opened his mouth –
“In the beginning -”
“Wait.”
“?”
-I was stopped by Kim Joo-hyuk.
The guide looks at Kim Joo-hyuk with a slightly dissatisfied expression.
In response, Kim Joo-hyuk opened his mouth with an expression that seemed to be already tiring.
“There was some kind of god in the beginning… You don’t want to start with something like this, do you?”
“…It feels a little different, but is it true?”
“We have to go down there?”
“If I’m going to explain everything in detail, I have to first tell you the origin, step by step.”
Guide’s words.
At that, Kim Joo-hyuk let out a groan and immediately changed his tone.
“Let’s just keep it simple.”
“…Simply?”
“Okay, just answer what I ask, so I only need to know what I’m curious about, right? “If I feel like I don’t know enough, you can explain further.”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
“…Well, if I explain it that way, I think it would actually make it more complicated. “I’ll do it because you want it.”
To Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, the guide nodded and responded as if he understood.
Soon Kim Joo-hyuk immediately asked a question.
“Then I want to ask you right away, who on earth is that guy who used the Heavenly Beast Avatar?”
and.
“Buddha.”
“…what?”
“If I say Buddha more accurately, I should say Gautama Buddha… would it be easier to understand?”
Kim Joo-hyuk was able to hear the story.
