The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 51
◈ Episode 51: Giving True Education (3)
Not long after Kim Joo-hyuk received Seol-ryeon’s request, Valhalla’s vacation began.
A long vacation of about two and a half months.
All students at Valhalla Academy left the academy to enjoy their vacation.
Of course, in addition to those people, there were also those who could no longer remain at the Academy and left.
Anyway, unlike those who left the academy for various reasons, Kim Joo-hyuk still remained at Valhalla Academy.
“Huh….”
To straighten out the training.
In fact, there was nothing for Kim Joo-hyuk to do right now, even if he went out rather than staying to train.
Of course, someone might ask if he could just take a break, but Kim Joo-hyuk had no desire to rest.
Kim Joo-hyuk is very sincere and not lazy, so wouldn’t he want to rest?
No, it wasn’t.
The reason why Kim Joo-hyuk trains non-stop without resting.
It was to the extent that yesterday’s Kim Joo-hyuk was different from today’s Kim Joo-hyuk that his growth began to accelerate even more during the vacation.
In particular, a little over a month after the vacation began, his potential began to explode even more.
In fact, when the vacation was about half a month over.
“Crazy…”
Inside the virtual combat experience room in Valhalla.
Tsutsut-!!
Yoo So-yeon was once again amazed at Kim Joo-hyuk, who was frantically cutting down monsters popping out from all directions.
‘It’s a real monster.’
Of course, Yoo So-yeon knows very well that Kim Joo-hyuk is strong.
‘…It’s already been 28 minutes.’
However, the reason Yoo So-yeon is now surprised at Kim Joo-hyuk is not because he is strong, but because of his fighting ability.
‘How can someone do that?’
Human beings are basically tired.
The more you use your body, the more tired you feel, and the more you use magical power, the more your mental fatigue doubles.
There is no need to mention the physical fatigue.
But what about Kim Joo-hyuk?
‘It certainly looks difficult.’
Yes, it looks difficult.
My whole body was already wet with sweat.
But what was surprising was that other than that, there was no change.
strength.
speed.
artifice.
Without missing anything, Kim Joo-hyuk was slaughtering the monsters in the same way as when he first slaughtered them.
And soon that means.
‘That means there’s still a lot of room left in that situation…’
That’s it.
Kim Joo-hyuk was currently in a somewhat relaxed state and was overworking the equipment in the combat experience room by overloading it.
Because if he killed a monster, the machine in the combat experience room had to recreate the monster.
Is it thanks to that?
Wooooow-!
Yoo So-yeon, who noticed that the machine in the combat experience room was making a loud ringing sound as if it was being overloaded, looked at Kim Joo-hyuk with an expression of bewilderment.
When the 30th minute arrived.
!!─Uuuuuung───
The device that Kim Joo-hyuk had been using turned off and the monsters that were flocking towards him disappeared as if they had never existed in the first place.
“Woo-!”
Only then did Yoo So-yeon look fed up when she saw Kim Joo-hyuk sighing loudly and turning his neck as if he was tired.
‘How do I really make it happen like that?’
Even after slaughtering monsters with all my might for 30 minutes, I have enough endurance to take care of my body leisurely rather than lying down on the spot.
Of course, Yoo So-yeon trained together with Kim Joo-hyuk and Choi A-rin for the past month and a half after the vacation, and was able to get a glimpse of how Kim Joo-hyuk and Choi A-rin became so strong.
‘If you train like that in Spartan style, you can’t become strong.’
To be honest, Yoo So-yeon tried to give up training on the first day of vacation when she first started training with Kim Joo-hyuk.
The reason is because of the ridiculous amount of training.
Training for more than 12 hours non-stop without any break took away Soyeon Yoo’s will.
However, Yoo So-yeon eventually gritted her teeth and continued training along with Kim Joo-hyuk, and now she is clearly stronger than before.
And much more.
But even so.
‘…I can’t keep up with him.’
Just when she thought she had caught up to a certain extent, Yoo So-yeon had given up trying to catch up with Kim Joo-hyuk, who had already widened the distance to an invisible extent.
No, I didn’t give up.
How do you keep up with something so different from yourself in the first place?
Just as Yoo So-yeon was thinking that, Kim Joo-hyuk came out of the experience room and opened his mouth.
“Ttpttttttt.”
“Yoo So-yeon.”
“Ttpttttttt.”
“Yoo So-yeon…!”
“Ttpttttttt.”
“It’s Yoo So-yeon!!!!”
“Yeah~ Ttppptttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttizedizededededed”
eded “Hey!!!!!”
When Yoo So-yeon screamed at the nickname, which she could not get used to even though she had already been receiving it for a month and a half, Choi A-rin, who had been sitting quietly next to her, opened her mouth.
“I’m angry.”
“I know.”
“Hey Choi Arin! “Why do you say it’s so stupid!”
“…?”
“Don’t make that expression like you don’t understand!”
Yoo So-yeon screamed, feeling oddly annoyed at Choi A-rin’s tilt as if she was asking, ‘What on earth is wrong with that?’
That was the scene that had been going on for the past month and a half for the three of them.
“Why on earth don’t you call people by their names and call them ‘bitch?!’”
Kim Joo-hyuk chuckled as he watched Yoo So-yeon grumbling and entering the experience room as if she knew it was her turn. He then picked up his smartphone and checked the date.
‘It’s finally tomorrow.’
Thinking like that, Kim Joo-hyuk recalled the request he received from Seol-ryeon when he went to North London.
A request to beat up a hikikomori who is confined to the White Lotus Palace and does not interact with the world.
As a bonus, if you succeed in completing the request, you will receive a reward that will allow you to enter the Ahala Grand Palace managed by the White Lotus Society.
It was truly a perfect request for Kim Joo-hyuk, so in fact, he wanted to process the request as soon as he heard Seol-ryun’s words, but he couldn’t.
The reason is because Seolryeon said that she would not entrust the request right now.
To be honest, I don’t know why he was asked to wait when he was going to beat up just one person, but Kim Joo-hyuk decided to wait.
Even if we had to wait a bit, the request date suggested by Seolryun was much earlier than the World School Competition.
‘Well, it’s not like there’s nothing to do.’
Kim Joo-hyuk checked his physical condition with a satisfied expression.
In fact, both the magic power and the physical body still looked strange in Kim Joo-hyuk’s body, but that only appeared when comparing the old body with the current body.
‘Compared to the first time, I’m a completely different person.’
The current Kim Joo-hyuk has developed so much that he can be described as a completely different person compared to his original body.
furthermore.
‘Now just a little longer and I can absorb the magic contained in the storage stone.’
Kim Joo-hyuk smiled as he thought of Jeong Jeong-seok in his arms.
At first, I didn’t use storage stones because it seemed like I would end up throwing out more than I could absorb.
But what if now?
‘Even if you don’t know everything, you can roughly absorb about 70% to 88% of it.’
Of course, if you train a little more, you may eventually be able to consume all the magical power contained in the storage stone.
‘Anyway, by then there will be no need to consume the magic power in the storage stone.’
Because of that, Kim Joo-hyuk had made a decision.
After completing this snow training request, I decided to absorb the magic power in the storage stone.
so that.
“for a moment! This setting is wrong! Turn it off!”
“Ttptttttt! “Just try a little harder!”
“Turn it off!!! “This is so weird, I’m dying!”
“go for it!”
“Quickly turn it off!!! I’m dying.
Kim Joo-hyuk looked forward to tomorrow as he entered the combat experience room, which was set up just as he had set, swearing and seeing Yoo So-yeon spitting out swear words.
####
next day.
As soon as the day dawned, Kim Joo-hyuk flew to Guangzhou using a ticket prepared by Seolryeon and was able to see the White Lotus Association building.
‘You look cool.’
The White Lotus House building really suits Kim Joo-hyuk’s taste! It wasn’t much to say, but it had a pretty cool appearance.
‘It looks like a palace.’
As Kim Joo-hyuk observed, the White Lotus Building had the appearance of a very old-fashioned palace.
How long did you spend looking at the exterior of the building from the entrance of the White Lotus Association?
“Nice to meet you, student Kim Joo-hyuk. “The Lord is waiting.”
Kim Joo-hyuk saw a man approaching in front of him and greeting him, nodded his head appropriately, and entered the Baekryunhoe under his guidance.
“You’re here.”
Kim Joo-hyuk soon entered the interior of the palace and was able to see Seol-ryeon sitting in a very old-fashioned room.
“Long time no see.”
“Yes.”
“So can I start the request right away?”
Kim Joo-hyuk gives a simple greeting and goes straight to the main topic without much pretense.
However, despite Kim Joo-hyuk’s appearance, Seol-ryeon lightly nodded and spoke.
“Yes, I think it would be good if you could.”
“So where is the person I need to beat?”
“Would you like to follow me?”
Seol-ryeon, who got up at Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, said that and turned around, and soon after sitting down, Kim Joo-hyuk got up again and started walking.
How long did it take to walk like that again?
“…Magic circle?”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who soon entered a room inside the White Lotus Club, saw the engraved magic circle and asked.
“Should I ride this magic circle?”
“Yes, only then can we enter the White Lotus Palace, the secret training room of our Snow Family.”
“Snow family?”
“yes. Just in case, the place you will enter from now on is the secret training room of the Seol family, who created and prospered this White Lotus Association. So please refrain from damaging the building.”
Seol-ryeon opens her mouth, emphasizing that it is something very important.
“Oh yeah.”
To that, Kim Joo-hyuk answered harshly.
In fact, he doesn’t really know the White Lotus Association or the Seolga properly.
‘Oh, I did get an explanation from Liliya.’
I heard from her that the Snow family was the first family to be rebuilt after the era of destruction ended.
Because of that, I also heard that he has extremely strong power and force.
‘Well, it’s none of my business.’
However, that was none of Kim Joo-hyuk’s business.
After all, Kim Joo-hyuk’s goal is to beat up the guy inside as requested by Seol-ryeon and then enter the Ahala Grand Palace in the White Lotus House.
That’s why Kim Joo-hyuk climbed onto the magic circle without hesitation, as if he didn’t need to think any more.
Wooooow-!!!
“Then I hope you complete the request.”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s eyes turned completely white after hearing the voice of Seol-ryeon, which was heard along with the magic circle that was activated in an instant.
And the next moment.
“Ah, you don’t want to go out?”
As soon as Kim Joo-hyuk’s vision returned, he was able to hear a voice.
“…What the fuck?”
When Kim Joo-hyuk unconsciously questioned the swear words and looked away at the same time.
“There’s nothing to see, it looks like someone sent me again, but no matter how much you fuck, I’m not going out, so if you don’t want to get beat up, get out!”
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at the girl standing in front of him and frowning as if she was annoyed.
A girl wearing a white military uniform with hair that was patterned with black and white mixed appropriately, just like the Seolryun she had seen a moment ago.
Looking at her like that.
“…Is this another weirdo?”
Kim Joo-hyuk muttered as if it was absurd.
