The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 228

◈ Episode 228 About Avatar (3)

It has been about 3 weeks since the dungeon crash occurred.

In other words, three weeks after Kim Joo-hyuk killed Labyrinth Ju, Valhalla Academy entered the full-fledged opening season of school.

Of course, even when Valhalla Academy was crowded with people as the school season began, the training room on one side of Valhalla Academy was quiet.

“….”

Early moning.

Choi A-rin was the only one in the training room.

“….”

She turned her gaze and saw the huge training room.

Normally, at this time, Kim Joo-hyuk would always be running like crazy on one side, and Adelia Bentrick and Black Cat, who came out earlier than her, would be struggling to keep up with Kim Joo-hyuk’s ridiculous training.

But now there was no one.

I immediately heard that Kim Joo-hyuk was on top of the labyrinth, and Adelia Bentrick and Black Cat were not coming out because their work had not yet been completed.

Yanrang sleeps a lot to begin with, so it’s natural that he doesn’t sleep in the morning.

“….”

However, the reason she was staring blankly at the training room was not because it was empty.

Why is she bruised?

It was because of a dream she had recently had.

“What…”

Choi A-rin muttered to herself and tried to remember when she had had such a dream.

Probably from the time when Kim Joo-hyuk defeated Labyrinth Ju, Choi A-rin trained every day and had strange dreams when she went to sleep.

It was a very vivid dream that didn’t seem like it was just a dream.

Of course, that doesn’t mean the content of the dream was grand.

Rather, the content of the dream was very simple, and the main content was talking with a faceless man who was presumed to be Choi A-rin’s teacher in the dream.

However, even though she had such a dream for several days, Choi A-rin did not pay any particular attention.

For her, dreams were not a story worth much interest in, although they raised some questions.

But why does Choi A-rin, who has such thoughts, stop like this and look around blankly?

That was because the voice in Choi A-rin’s dream, which had only played in her dreams, was heard during training this time.

[Master, are you going to just leave it like this?]

A voice from a dream that suddenly came to me while I was training.

In response, Arin Choi had stopped training and was thinking about that dream, but no matter how much she thought about it, Arin Choi had no idea what this phenomenon was.

How long has it been since Choi A-rin looked blankly into space and thought?

“….”

In the end, Choi A-rin stopped thinking, picked up the sword she was holding again, and began training.

‘I’ll have to ask the Constellation.’

While thinking like that.

However, her concentration did not return well, so in the end, it was only when Yan Lang came out to the training room that Choi A-rin was able to continue training as usual again.

‘What on earth is that?’

Unfortunately, Yan Lang, who had just come out of the training room, was still thinking about the voice he heard a few days ago… or even the voice he heard again yesterday, and was unable to concentrate on training.

‘Is it my voice?’

As Yan Lang thought so, he thought of the voice he remembered yesterday.

[Master~ You know at night, right? Don’t do anything strange and come back quickly.]

Yan Lang was very shocked by the voice that appeared in his head, speaking in a strangely lively and sexy voice.

‘…Have I ever said something like that before?’

Yan Lang thought about that, but denied it in less than a second.

Because there was no one she could call teacher in the first place.

No, if I had to say that there was one, it was Kim Joo-hyuk….

‘I said that to Kim Joo-hyuk?’

And with a strangely sweet voice?

‘Turped!’

As soon as Yan Lang thought of that thought, he felt goosebumps all over his body and his pupils trembled.

No matter how much I thought about it, I thought it wasn’t right.

So what on earth was that thought that came into her head yesterday?’

Just nonsense?

‘No… no.’

It was clear that only voices came to mind, but Yan Lang did not think it was an auditory hallucination.

No matter how much I thought about it, I remembered that voice so clearly and distinctly.

okay.

It wasn’t what I heard.

It was ‘something I remembered’.

As if some hidden memories suddenly appeared.

Therefore, Yan Lang looked very confused and continued to worry for a while, but in the end, of course, she did not get a proper answer.

In the end, Yanlang continued to reminisce about that memory while training that day.

####

Until the recent arrival of Jong Li-kwon, Kim Joo-hyuk’s routine was a repetition of training.

Rest and train.

Sleep, wake up and train.

Eat and train.

Kim Joo-hyuk continued to train, train, and train again.

The reason was because of the Buddha he had dealt with not long ago, but even more than that, the reason why Kim Joo-hyuk started devoting himself to training was because of his name.

The guide clearly told Kim Joo-hyuk that the stronger his strength, the more his memories would return, and in fact, a few memories had returned, so he was training repeatedly.

‘It doesn’t seem to be very efficient.’

Perhaps because too many abilities increased at once, Kim Joo-hyuk’s training efficiency has not been very good since he last ate the fruit.

Of course, it wasn’t to the point where it was worse than not doing it at all, but compared to the old days when my skills were improving steadily, the speed was very different.

Kim Joo-hyuk even thought about eating some fruit.

‘I’m telling you just in case, in the current situation, you should never eat fruit to retrieve your memories. At least, if you’re going to eat good fruit, it would be better to ask Zhong Liquan and eat it after you meet him.’

The guide had said that to Kim Joo-hyuk right before they parted ways, so he had been training without eating good fruits until now.

Yes, until Zhong Liquan comes.

“It’s been a while.”

“…I know.”

Kim Joo-hyuk spoke with a slightly shocked expression upon hearing Zong Li-kwon’s words.

Zhong Liquan called him because he thought he might know a lot, but it was something Kim Joo-hyuk had never experienced before, casually talking to a guy who had driven him to the brink of death.

“….”

“….”

A moment of silence.

But the silence was broken soon after.

“First of all, before we talk, let me just say that what happened last time was due to a misunderstanding, so I hope you don’t take it to heart too much.”

Zhong Liquan said that and continued.

“Of course, I didn’t think talking like this would provide much compensation, so I set aside the Gongcheong Oil and handed over a reasonable compensation to the guy who was trying to get you out of the labyrinth. In addition, I also stopped the guards from coming here anymore. ”

Kim Joo-hyuk nodded at those words.

When I heard Jukchang’s words, I heard that Jukchang was able to handle things more easily thanks to the wealth that Zhong Liquan gave him.

‘If the Watchman had been prevented from entering this labyrinth…’

I cannot estimate the extent of the Watchman’s skills, but it could certainly be said to have helped Kim Joo-hyuk, so Kim Joo-hyuk opened his mouth.

“…That was a long time ago, so I’d like to get straight to the point.”

“I guess there’s a lot I want to ask.”

“There are a lot.”

Zhong Liquan nodded at Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, but then spoke.

“I just want you to know one thing.”

“…What are you talking about?”

“I am helping you now, but strictly speaking, I am not on your side. “I’m just helping you, repaying a favor from the past that you don’t even remember.”

“…so?”

“This is probably the only time I will help.”

Kim Joo-hyuk nodded without thinking at Zong Li-kwon’s words.

“Well, once is enough.”

“So let’s hear the question you want to ask me.”

“There’s a lot of this and that. Can I ask you questions about everything?”

“I said it was just this one time, but I think it would be easier to think of it as helping you until I finish my work and leave.”

“That’s good.”

“Then ask a question.”

Zhong Liquan talking.

Kim Joo-hyuk responded without hesitation.

“I want to know about my identity. Also, how to find my name.”

I asked what I was most curious about at the moment.

“also.”

Zhong Liquan nodded and spoke as if he had expected it.

“I thought you would ask me a question about that.”

“okay? “Then you must have thought of an answer.”

“That’s right. “First of all, let me answer you. It is impossible for me to reveal your identity directly. That is not for my sake, but for your sake. To be honest, there are some things I ‘can’t’ do.”

“I expected that answer to some extent.”

“I knew so. “Then let’s move on straight away.”

As Zhong Liquan said that, he trimmed his neck to a large extent and then spoke.

“First of all, as you probably already know, the simplest way to find your name is to increase your power. “Because you still fundamentally don’t even know who you are.”

“…Could it be that the way to find your name is to constantly practice… or something like that?”

“I told you, that’s just one way.”

“Then what is the other way?”

In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, Zhong Li-quan thought for a moment and then spoke.

“First of all, before I tell you this, let me tell you something else: I can’t help you find all the names. “All I can find are very basic names.”

Kim Joo-hyuk nodded at Zhong Li-quan’s words.

‘Just being able to hear the story in the first place is enough.’

It would be great if I could find all the names, but one was enough for now.

“Now that you know, tell me how to find it.”

“You have an impatient personality.”

Seeing Kim Joo-hyuk looking a little in a hurry, Jong Li-kwon muttered that and then spoke.

“First of all, I have to go to Dark Prison to find your first name, at least as far as I know.”

“…Dark prison?”

“Yeah, it’s a bit of a creepy place right above the hell below this world.”

Kim Joo-hyuk tilted his head at Zhong Li-kwon’s words, but first nodded and continued talking.

“So what should I do there?”

“If you go there, there is someone who sowed harm a long time ago, was defeated by you and died, but hid in the dark prison to avoid that death.”

“Is this okay if I just kill that guy?”

“That’s right.”

Zhong Liquan nods.

“Who is that guy?”

Kim Joo-hyuk then asked Jong Ri-kwon that question.

Zhong Liquan is there.

“Underground person, that’s his name.”

I answered like that.
