◈ Episode 31. Are you here to rob? (1)
Weekend.
All students can do things at Valhalla Academy or go outside the academy using an outing available once a month.

[Arin Choi: (Emoji of a rabbit looking up cutely)]
[Arin Choi: (Emoji of a rabbit looking up cutely)]
[Joo-hyuk Kim: Don’t send it until I respond.]
[Arin Choi: I’m going out today. I don’t think I can train.]
[Choi A-rin: (emoji of a rabbit crying sadly.)]
[Kim Joo-hyuk: ㅇㅋ I can’t do it because I have to go out anyway.] [
A-rin Choi: (emoticon of a rabbit being surprised)]
Kim Joo-hyuk also has a relationship with Choi A-rin. After finishing the conversation, I moved out of the academy.
Ugh-!
[Choi A-rin: I will do well!]
As soon as he came out, Kim Joo-hyuk saw the message sent to her, tilted his head and responded.
[Kim Joo-hyuk: ㅇㅇ]
To be honest, Kim Joo-hyuk didn’t really know what she was good at.
Because Kim Joo-hyuk didn’t hear much from her in the first place.
‘…Is this a story related to the family I heard about last time?’
[Probably so.]
Well, if you piece together the story I heard from Liliya and what the man who recently visited Arin Choi said, it seemed like it was probably related to the family.
Therefore, Kim Joo-hyuk, who looked at Choi A-rin’s message for a moment, shrugged his shoulders and closed the chat window.
‘I’ll take care of it.’
Kim Joo-hyuk thought so and used his smartphone to open the map as before and check the points he had recorded in advance.
‘Tsk, first of all, I confirmed that it was gone in Suwon.’
Kim Joo-hyuk clicked his tongue unconsciously, recalling what happened last time.
After defeating Disera, he spread his magic power with the thought of checking to see if Vigo was there, but Kim Joo-hyuk clicked his tongue when he realized that his magic power could not detect anything.
‘Is it gone?’
It could have been broken rather than gone, or Vigo could have been buried as is for some other reason, but in any case, from Kim Joo-hyuk’s perspective, what was missing was missing, so he was quite upset at the time.
‘Well, there’s still something left. It won’t be too late to check everything first and then be disappointed.’
Thinking like that, Kim Joo-hyuk checked the two points he had not visited yet and immediately started moving.
Looking at Kim Joo-hyuk like that, Barce spoke to him.
[By the way, what on earth are you looking for in Vigo?]
“Why did you appear so suddenly?”
[…I’m still with you without having to show up or anything?]
“So, why are you suddenly barging in after not talking?”
[Hmm, I didn’t talk that much in the past, but after keeping my mouth shut for 300 years, I guess I don’t say anything unless it’s really necessary.]
Kim Joo-hyuk, who nodded as if he vaguely understood Barce’s words, spoke.
“So why are you going to Vigo?”
[Yes, the last time I heard you think, it didn’t seem like you needed money anymore.]
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded to Barche’s question.
“That’s right, I don’t need money.”
[Then why bother looking for Vigo?]
“Because there is a lottery.”
[…Lotto?]
“First of all, the Lotto is very helpful to me if I just find it.”
[I see.]
Kim Joo-hyuk said that and soon arrived at the portal in front of the academy and soon began moving in earnest to find the remaining Vigo.
####
A large mountain behind the Choi Jin family’s main house.
The people of the Choi Jin family gathered at the entrance of the mountain, which has remained unchanged for 200 years since the beginning of the history of the Choi Jin family.
People gathered regardless of whether they are collateral or direct descendants of the Choi Jin family.
They were all looking at the entrance of the mountain.
“….”
“….”
“….”
At the entrance of the mountain, Choi Jon-seok of the Choi Jin family was opening his mouth as he looked at Choi A-rin and Choi Jin-geon standing on either side of him.
“Then, from now on, we will take the selection test to determine the successor to the Choi Jin family.”
“….”
“The selection test will follow the tradition of the Choi Jin family and determine as the successor the person who comes down to the entrance with the Blue Moon Blade hidden in the mountains. And-”
Jonseok Choi said while looking at Arin Choi.
“-If you fail this screening test, the person who fails must leave the family according to family tradition. “You all know this, right?”
“yes.”
“yes.”
Choi Jon-seok, who heard all of Choi A-rin and Choi Jin-geon’s answers, nodded as if he understood and then opened his mouth.
“Okay then, let’s start the test now. Choi A-rin and Choi Jin-geon, from now on, find Cheongwoldo Island, come down to the entrance, and prove that you have what it takes to become the successor to the family!”
The Choi Jin family’s succession test has begun in earnest.
####
The selection test for the Choi Jin family is not difficult.
The goal of the selection test was to simply bring the Cheongwoldo that the head of the family had hidden.
Therefore, the only obstacle in the test is the successors who also participated in the selection test.
Since the goal of the selection test was to find the island and return to the entrance, protecting the found Cheongwoldo was more difficult than finding it.
However, even though Choi A-rin is not currently visiting Cheongwol Island.
Quad deuk!
I was feeling a crisis.
“Oh Makne?”
The reason was Choi Jin-geon, who appeared from somewhere and attacked Choi A-rin as if he had been waiting for her as soon as she climbed the mountain to a certain extent.
He spoke while looking at Choi A-rin, who was blocking his sword with amusement.
“Still, your skills have improved quite a bit? “Last time I saw it, I couldn’t even block it properly.”
Seeing Choi Jin-geon laughing as if it was fun, Choi A-rin frowned and scattered the swords with all her might.
Choi Jin-geon naturally steps back.
However, his face was full of composure, and he spoke with a smile on his face as he looked at Choi Arin, who was standing with a firm expression.
“Why are you standing there with such a serious expression? Could it be… were you really planning to beat me?”
Choi A-rin did not respond to Choi Jin-geon’s words, which made him laugh openly, but ran straight into him.
The Tao that collides with him.
She thought as she watched Choi Jin-gun dealing with her with a sneer.
‘There is a chance of victory.’
Of course, anyone could see that the immediate situation was tilted towards Choi Jin-gun, but Choi A-rin still felt that there was still a chance.
That’s because Choi Jin-geon was blatantly ignoring her.
‘If it were me now, I would at least aim for a single shot…’
Choi A-rin thought that it was definitely possible.
I didn’t know it before, but now Choi Ah-rin has worked hard to follow Kim Joo-hyuk for the past two months, and even confirmed for herself by going through the dungeon alone that that effort never betrayed her.
That’s why she fought Choi Jin-geon and calmly aimed for one shot.
“!”
I found an opportunity.
Choi A-rin, who had been blocking Choi Jin-geon’s path all along, accelerated in an instant, spun around and entered his arms.
A very short distance to swing a sword.
But it didn’t matter.
Because what she was trying to use was not the Tao.
Bah!
“Oops!”
Choi Jin-gun, who hits the solar plexus with his knee, instantly distorts his expression and lets out a scream.
The distance that goes along with him.
Taking advantage of that moment, A-rin Choi swung her sword to stun Choi Jin-geon.
Hijuk-!
The moment when Choi A-rin swung the sword before she could.
“!”
Wow!
“Khaak-!?”
“It fucking hurts, right?”
She was quickly overpowered by Choi Jin-gun.
“Haha… what…?”
When Choi A-rin frowned as if she couldn’t understand while enduring the terrible pain she felt in her stomach, Choi Jin-gun subdued her and climbed on top of her to talk.
“Why did you really think you could beat me?”
“….”
“Well, my skills have definitely improved compared to before, but if I hadn’t revealed my true power, I think I could have gotten halfway there?”
“…!”
Choi A-rin, who felt something strange about those words, suddenly saw the black magic flowing softly from Choi Jin-geon’s body and her eyes widened.
“what…?”
“What do you know before you ask? “It’s what you see.”
“knave…?”
“That’s correct.”
“Why on earth…?”
When Choi A-rin looked at Choi Jin-geon, who was sitting on top of her and smiling, with an expression that she could not understand, he answered.
“I received a promise.”
“promise?”
Choi Jin-geon seemed to think about Choi A-rin’s question for a moment, but then smiled and spoke.
“So, do you know that you are a single believer?”
“…!”
Ilshinja (一信者)
The name Ilshinja (一信者) was so widely known that even Choi Arin, who did not know much about the industry situation to begin with, knew about it.
This is because the One Believers were a very dangerous group of evildoers ranked as the third most dangerous in the world industry.
“They made me an offer there. He offered to give me either power or the position of a single believer if I carried the Cheongwol sword. But thinking about this makes you angry?”
Choi Jin-geon immediately said that, and then he tightened his grip on Choi A-rin’s neck as if he was in heat.
“Bwa…!”
“Do you know how much the promise has been delayed because of you? Originally, I was planning to hand over Cheongwol Island to them two months ago, but you kept saying you were holding a selection contest, so we ended up here, right?”
“Keuhak…!”
“Wouldn’t it be nice to just take it easy? If you obediently did as I said and passed the test without taking the test, I could just quietly take the Cheongwoldo and quickly take up a position with the power, and you could get some alms from your family. huh? “It was a total win-win.”
“Do… on earth… why?”
“what?”
“Why on earth… why… a single believer…?”
To be honest, Choi Arin did not understand.
He had everything, unlike his illegitimate son.
Fame is fame.
Status is status.
Money is money.
If it’s love, it’s love.
And even the power to support everything.
Nothing was lacking.
Because he had everything, Choi A-rin one day envied him as he wielded a sword alone.
That’s why Choi Jin-geon grins when asked a question that contains fundamental questions.
“You can get better things there than here.”
“Just like that…?”
“That’s why? Is it possible to gain greater power and status than being stuck in this small family? “Well, you might have to cover your face a little bit.”
Choi Jin-geon, with a giggling smile, opened his mouth while playing with Choi A-rin’s hair with his other hand.
“Well, should we stop the conversation here? Now I have to find Cheongwol Island…”
Sigh.
“Now that I see your face, it looks pretty smooth, so I think it would be nice to enjoy it for once.”
“…!”
Fear began to spread in Choi A-rin’s eyes along with Choi Jin-geon’s laughing voice.
Only then did she twist her body and try to get out of Choi Jin-gun’s arms, but Choi Jin-gun instead just smiled and started to slowly lower the hand that was touching her hair.
The next moment.
“What kind of shit is this again?”
He appeared.
