The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 5

◈ Episode 005. Betting is not something you do carelessly (2)

Kim Joo-hyuk actually had no weapon he couldn’t use.

Of course, among the weapons he can use, there are some that he has exceptional proficiency in, but there is basically no weapon that he cannot use.

Why?

Because 300 years ago, we were not in a position to use weapons.

300 years ago, when Kim Joo-hyuk lived, the world was half destroyed by monsters, and anything that had even the slightest edge was treated as a weapon.

Kim Joo-hyuk lived in an era where anything that could cause injury could be used as a weapon, from a sickle to a trowel, so there was basically no weapon that Kim Joo-hyuk couldn’t use.

In particular, the sword and sword were one of the weapons that Kim Joo-hyuk used most often.

Choi ahhh! Tuk! Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!

The students who were looking at Kim Joo-hyuk had their mouths open.

That’s right too.

The 120 monsters, which seemed absolutely impossible for Kim Joo-hyuk to deal with alone, quickly decreased as soon as Kim Joo-hyuk took control and went outside.

Kim Joo-hyuk’s sword moves slowly and diagonally.

Compared to Yoo So-yeon, he has neither magic power nor speed.

However, the surrounding monsters got closer as if they were being sucked into Kim Joo-hyuk’s way, and in an instant, their heads were cut off and they flew through the air.

A truly bizarre-looking projection method.

As if there were manpower attached to the weapon itself, every time Kim Joo-hyuk swings the sword, several monsters approach him and kill him.

However, the students who were appreciating such strange inaction inside the shield and Kim, who lent the weapon, knew.

‘What the hell… what…!’

The sword that Kim Joo-hyuk is holding is just a cheap steel sword provided by Valhalla.

“…crazy.”

Oh Se-hyuk, who was quietly watching, bursts out from the mouth of a cursing curse, and Yoo So-yeon’s eyes follow Kim Joo-hyuk without blinking even once.

But among them all, Choi Arin stood at the very edge.

“….”

He was looking at Kim Joo-hyuk with an expression as if he was fascinated by him himself.

However, regardless of whether the students were watching him intently or not, Kim Joo-hyuk continued his thoughts by fighting off the monsters that were flocking towards him.

‘When I first saw it, I thought it was pretty well made, but it’s not that good because it’s fake.’

Sigh!

[82]

‘It definitely feels lively, but the movement is too mechanical.’

Sigh!

[71]

‘The movements are easy to predict, so it’s easy to swing the sword.’

All the students felt that the monsters were drawn in as if the weapon had gravitational force. The bizarre sword method was just Kim Joo-hyuk swinging the sword in the direction where the monsters would move. .

Yes, for Kim Joo-hyuk, the degree he is currently wielding is only that much.

[52]

‘Because my body is like this, I can’t use martial arts and I’m a bit tired.’

[30]

‘From now on, when I go to the dormitory, I will have to start practicing martial arts in earnest.’

[18]

‘I have to find that anyway.’

Sigh!

Kim Joo-hyuk, who saw his sword pierce the neck of the last remaining orc and the corpses of the monsters covering the ground disappearing, immediately turned his gaze to look at Kim Yi-gun.

“….”

Kim was looking at himself with a blank expression, unable to say anything.

In addition, the students behind him were also looking at Kim Joo-hyuk, but he smiled as if he didn’t care.

“I want to go down to the Constellation Room. Will you keep your promise?”

While saying that, he put the sword he was holding into its sheath.

“You must be tired because it’s your first class, so let’s all go back to the dormitory and rest comfortably today.”

4 pm.

After Valhalla’s first class ended, Kim Joo-hyuk stretched out as if he was tired as he watched everyone get up from their seats.

‘What kind of class is this long?’

It may be surprising, but Kim Joo-hyuk has never really been to school.

300 years ago, when he lived, going to school was still only possible for children of some degree of wealth, but for those who lived a lower-class life like him, school was as good as non-existent.

Well, I did personally take students and teach them, but that was only when Kim Joo-hyuk was the teacher, and being the one receiving the teachings made me feel very different.

‘I need to get only what I really get and get out quickly.’

Anyway, for Kim Joo-hyuk, who has never been to school before, the class was boring except for getting some information.

‘…The content about the constellations was definitely not bad.’

Constellation.

In fact, until now, Kim Joo-hyuk did not know much about ‘constellations’.

The reason he knew the word constellation in the first place was after he was reincarnated and saw the word ‘constellation room’ floating in the system window.

‘There was no constellation when I was alive in the first place.’

There was nothing that resembled a constellation, let alone a constellation.

‘Well, it’s okay now that I know.’

Kim Joo-hyuk briefly summarized the information about the constellation he had heard earlier and stood up.

1. A constellation is roughly a term used to refer to people who have achieved great karma and have been transformed into gods.

2. Most constellations make contracts with contractors through their relics and grant them special powers.

3. Valhalla, located in Korea, is the third academy in the world with the most relics of the Holy See.

This was the only information he got from today’s class.

Other than that, from Kim Joo-hyuk’s point of view, he was wondering how to use basic weapons and how to kill monsters in a practical way, so there was no other information in his mind because the guys he thought were instructor assistants were talking about it.

‘Well, first of all, let’s go to the dormitory today and do some martial arts training in earnest.’

“Hey,”

I thought, turning my attention to the voice I heard as I stood up in the empty classroom.

“?”

Choi Arin was standing there.

####

Teacher’s lounge on the first floor of Valhalla’s main building.

“…It must have been a lot of trouble.”

“Honestly, it’s more of a shame than a hardship.”

In response to the words of Valhalla’s combat instructor Lee Sang-cheol, teacher Kim I-gun, who had given the bell on the first day earlier, sighed and scratched his head.

“No, but no matter how much common sense I try to think about, I don’t understand. Is he really a high school student?”

When Kim Joo-hyuk expressed his dissatisfaction while recalling the scene he had shown earlier, Lee Sang-cheol, who was quietly listening to the story next to him, scratched his head and responded.

“Well, to be honest, it’s a little… surprising to be an ordinary high school student.”

“It’s not that surprising, is it? This time, I created 120 monsters in the combat experience room to overpower them. But…”

“You killed them all? A high school student who hasn’t even met a monster yet?”

“Is that so?”

At first glance, Lee Sang-cheol stroked his chin and spoke as Kim opened his mouth with an expression that seemed like he was going to die of injustice.

“Kim Joo-hyuk is definitely a bit surprising. “At least from what I’ve seen of his personal information, Kim Joo-hyuk can’t be that physically good.”

“Was there anything unusual?”

“It’s not like it’s not there. “That guy is an orphan.”

“…an orphan?”

“Yes, and the orphanage is also an orphanage in a high-risk area with nothing special.”

“Then it can’t be… counterfeit?”

Lee Sang-cheol shook his head at Kim Yi-gun’s words.

“Not that either.”

“…Is that so?”

“Yes, if you were trying to enter Valhalla through forgery in the first place, you must have come in to do something. Would you have come in so flashy?”

Kim Lee thought about Lee Sang-cheol’s words for a moment and then answered.

“…That’s definitely true.”

A guy who came to Valhalla by forging his identity to do something didn’t need to do anything that would attract people’s attention.

“Besides, the personnel survey has already been completed.”

After hearing Lee Sang-cheol’s words, Kim Yi-gun was completely convinced.

In any case, the fact that no sound was heard at the end of the personal survey meant that Kim Joo-hyuk’s personal information was not falsified.

“Rather than that, Kim Joo-hyuk asked to be allowed into the Constellation’s room?”

“Yes, it is.”

“It’s a constellation room… I guess you can naturally enter it if you pass the first semester, right? Well… first of all, since you made that promise… I think if you ask the chairman, he will let you in to the first basement level.”

“Thank you again and again.”

“Well, it’s not a big deal. It’s not difficult to just want to get into a place where everyone can get in anyway. “I don’t know about the 5th basement floor, which is a ‘completely restricted area.’”

-Besides, I brought you here, so I have to take responsibility.

Kim sighed in relief as Lee Sang-cheol continued his conversation, and soon showed an expression of fatigue.

“But now I’m worried about the next year.”

“Because of Kim Joo-hyuk?”

“That’s also true, in my class to begin with, apart from Kim Joo-hyuk, there were three children from five generations of families. To be honest, I think it would be difficult to control just one person…”

“Well, don’t be too stressed, because in the class next to you, a son of the Bentric family is in the exchange student.”

“…Oh, that must be quite a hardship.”

Kim nods his head as if he unconsciously understands what Lee Sang-cheol said.

House Bentrick.

This family in England was a very old family with a guardian constellation, like one of the five major families in Korea.

If it had been there, both Lee Sang-cheol and Kim would have done the same.

However, the problem is that the Ventric family is very powerful, perhaps due to the characteristics of the ‘Guardian Constellation’ that protects them.

No, beyond being powerful, it could be said that the Bentrick family was actually controlling England at the moment.

And perhaps because of that, the children of the Ventric family, whether direct or collateral, had an extremely arrogant attitude.

That’s a bit of arrogance that goes too far.

“Is the guy in the next class this time Rockdil Ventrick?”

“hmm? Until a little while ago, I didn’t even know that an exchange student from the Ventric family had arrived, but I managed to find out. “How did you know?”

“Ah… I was just wondering, but as expected…”

“Why are you doing that?”

“I guess there are some bad rumors about that guy. “Don’t you know that too?”

“I’m not particularly familiar with such rumors.”

“Ah…”

“Well, I do know that the exchange student this time did something at a private academy in England to come here. “I don’t know the exact circumstances.”

He thought for a moment about Lee Sang-cheol’s words.

“Still, I guess I should take comfort in the fact that Ventric didn’t come to my class.”

Kim Yi-gun was about to say something, but ended the conversation with Lee Sang-cheol by sighing and complaining.

And the next day.

“Don’t you want to gain Kim Joo-hyuk’s strength? If you come down under me, I bless you-”

“What is this idiot talking about again?”

Kim Joo-hyuk encountered Rock Deal Bentrick.
