The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 57
◈ Episode 57 Would you like to be my disciple? (1)
The next afternoon.
As soon as he started training in the morning after going out for a while, Yan Lang appeared from somewhere and excitedly encouraged him to fight. He finished training lightly and returned to the dormitory.
“Whoa.”
He took out the storage stone that he had kept in his arms for a while.
Kim Joo-hyuk has a total of four storage stones.
‘I’ll try one first and if it absorbs well, I’ll try absorbing the other two as well.’
Of course, as I thought last time, even if Kim Joo-hyuk opened the storage stone now, he could not absorb all the magical power.
‘At this point, the magic power that can be absorbed when opening the storage stone is about 80%.’
However, it was too time consuming to train long enough to absorb all the magic contained in the storage stone.
‘Considering growth, absorbing magic power at this point is the right choice.’
Kim Joo-hyuk thought that way and immediately sat down as if there was no need to wait and began to draw out the magic power from the storage stone.
Ugh-!
The storage stone begins to react as soon as Kim Joo-hyuk begins to draw out his magic power.
Wow!
The surrounding atmosphere began to tremble, but Kim Joo-hyuk did not stop the magic power spreading outward and began to insert the magic power contained in the storage stone directly into his body.
“town!”
The pain that comes with it.
‘Fuck it hurts so much!’
Kim Joo-hyuk frowned at the pain that felt as if the arm holding the storage stone was being torn apart, but this was something that could not be helped.
No, rather, Kim Joo-hyuk thought that the pain was less than he thought.
That’s right, the magic power in the storage stone was the magic power that Kim Joo-hyuk contained 300 years ago, but his body was different.
This meant that although the magic power contained in the storage stone was the magic power that Kim Joo-hyuk was familiar with, it was not his current magic power.
In short, absorbing the magic power of the storage stone was an act that clearly had a backlash to the point where it could be said to be a necessity.
“ugh-!”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s moans leak out from his tightly closed mouth due to pain.
It was definitely not as painful as expected, but it was all the same, so he desperately endured the pain and sucked the magic into his body.
How much pain had he been enduring and absorbing magical power?
‘No, when on earth will it end?’
It was around this time that Kim Joo-hyuk’s mind began to tremble from the pain that was slowly becoming lethal.
-Wooow!
The powerful torrent gradually decreased, and the magic power leaking out began to gradually decrease.
Kim Joo-hyuk sighed in relief as the pain slowly but surely diminished.
“Whoa.”
As soon as he absorbed the magic that flowed from the storage stone, he immediately left the storage stone behind and began meditating.
The reason was that the absorbed magic power had to be integrated with Kim Joo-hyuk’s magic power.
‘If you don’t fuse your magical power, it becomes worse than nothing.’
Although most of the magic power in the storage stone was absorbed, it was still not Kim Joo-hyuk’s own magic power.
In a word, it means that you cannot handle it properly, and even if you do, there is a big difference in efficiency.
That’s why Kim Joo-hyuk hurriedly moves his magic and spreads magic everywhere –
“Huh?”
– Kim Joo-hyuk felt something strange.
‘…Why is it so natural?’
Normally, when you absorb magical energy, the magical energy that has not yet fully integrated into your body is lumped together in one place.
Is that it?
The magic energy absorbed in the beginning spread around the body without being integrated, and if it was not suppressed first, the inside of the body would be shaken and could be destroyed in one blow.
It was dangerous to absorb someone else’s magic power rather than natural magic power to that extent.
however.
‘No really, what is it?’
Currently, most of the magical energy that Kim Joo-hyuk has absorbed has been naturally integrated into his body to the point that he does not need any separate control process to assimilate the magical energy.
Of course it wasn’t perfect, but it was strange nonetheless.
‘Is it the effect of a new skill?’
For a moment, Kim Joo-hyuk seriously thought about whether this was the effect of a new technique, but then shook his head.
In the first place, the new technique was able to quickly collect the magical energy in the body and make the operation of magical energy stable, but other than that, it had no other effects.
Of course, there may be an effect that Kim Joo-hyuk does not know about, but even so, it was strange that the numerous magical powers contained in the storage stone could be maintained stably just by absorbing a single new technique.
‘…Are there any problems?’
Ugh-!
I tried to move my magical power just in case, and it was already moving so naturally as if it were my own hands and feet.
instead.
‘…hmm?’
As soon as Kim Joo-hyuk turned his magic, he felt the magic he had built up in his body 300 years ago flowing out of him.
‘Why is the magic that my body had 300 years ago suddenly mixed in?’
Of course, what he absorbed was Kim Joo-hyuk’s magic power 300 years ago, or to be more precise, Kim Hyeon-oh’s magic power, but if he used magic power now, Kim Joo-hyuk’s magic power had to come out.
but now?
‘…It comes out as if it’s jjamppong?’
When Kim Joo-hyuk moved his magic power, strangely enough, Kim Hyun-oh’s magic power from 300 years ago was flowing out as well.
That’s why Kim Joo-hyuk tilted his head for a while wondering why this was happening.
‘…I guess I’ll have to check.’
In the end, he decided to check what had happened to his body and got up.
I woke up.
“ah.”
Kim Joo-hyuk soon realized that his room was completely destroyed as if a storm had struck, and he let out a low exclamation and sighed.
####
Yan Lang has been persistently chasing Kim Joo-hyuk for the past two days since he passed from the White Lotus Society to Valhalla.
The reason is to fight with Kim Joo-hyuk.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk didn’t really care what Yan Lang said and ignored her. If she provoked him, he would pick on her with even more harsh words and never fight.
however.
“…Really?”
“no? “Don’t hate it.”
Yan Lang tilted his head as he looked at Kim Joo-hyuk, who was standing in front of him with a confused expression.
‘I thought you said just an hour ago that you would never fight…?’
Kim Joo-hyuk clearly said that he would never fight with Yan Lang.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk entered and came out of the dormitory room after only an hour.
‘Let’s make a bet.’
‘what?’
‘If you fight 10 times for a bet and lose all of them, you’ll be fine. OK?’
‘Uh, uh…’
he said suddenly, sealing the bet.
‘What on earth were you doing in the dormitory…?’
Yan Lang knew that there was a very strange sound coming from Kim Joo-hyuk’s dormitory.
That’s because Yan Lang was always in front of Kim Joo-hyuk’s dormitory.
Of course, Yanrang did not sneak into Valhalla, but was given a temporary dormitory with the help of Seolryeon, the head of the White Lotus Association. However, Yanrang did not enter the dormitory except at dawn.
Because I had to bother Kim Joo-hyuk who came out at least once more.
Anyway, thanks to that, I vaguely felt that there was a huge wave of magical power in the dormitory where Kim Joo-hyuk was, but I quickly erased that thought.
‘Anyway, as long as I can fight, that’s it…!’
Sigh.
Yan Lang looked at Kim Joo-hyuk with a smile because he had finally achieved his goal.
Kim Joo-hyuk saw Yan Lang like that and spoke.
“Then it’s a clean hot plate? The condition is that if you are in a situation where everyone sees you losing, you get one loss, okay?”
“good.”
Yan Lang answers confidently and takes a forward stance.
Looking at her like that, Kim Joo-hyuk rummaged through his pocket and took out a coin.
“Now, if you bounce this thing and it falls to the ground, you’re going to fight?”
“I’m ready, so let’s get started right away!”
Hearing Yan Lang’s words, Kim Joo-hyuk shrugged his shoulders and flipped a coin.
Ting!
A coin soars into the sky with a clear sound.
Yan Lang raised his magic power as he watched the coins gliding upward and slowly falling.
Wow!
Magical power surged around Yan Lang in an instant.
The gliding coin soon began to fall with gravity, and Yan Lang watched the moment the coin fell and began to circulate a torrent of mana throughout his body.
‘Originally, it would be standard to only turn with both hands, but…!’
She knew Kim Joo-hyuk’s attack speed.
The attack speed was so fast that she didn’t even notice it.
Therefore, rather than seeing Kim Joo-hyuk’s attack with her own eyes and avoiding it, she tried to block his attack by surrounding herself with overflowing magical power.
Gigikigeek-!
Magical armor created through mana control so detailed that even ordinary contractors cannot properly imitate it.
Yan Lang, wearing it, concentrated his strength on his feet as he watched the coins that would soon fall to the ground.
Clink!
As soon as the coin hit the floor, she jumped out in an instant –
Smul- Tsk!
-I couldn’t.
“uh…?”
Yan Lang had a blank expression for a moment.
That’s right too. This was because as soon as something passed by, the magical armor that Yan Lang had pulled up shattered.
As a bonus.
“…!”
After checking the torn sleeves of his clothes, Yanrang looked forward again with a blank expression.
There.
“Now there are nine left.”
Yan Lang looked at Kim Joo-hyuk, who was picking up coins with magical power so strong that it took his breath away.
“Ha…”
I let out a laugh without realizing it.
####
“Everything is ready.”
The office on the second floor of the Bentrick family’s main house.
Adelia Bentrick spoke as the man quietly lowered his head and opened his mouth.
“Are you sure?”
“yes. I’m sure. Now all you have to do is contact Kim Joo-hyuk and everything is over. “All locations and people have already been arranged.”
At the man’s words, Adelia Bentrick narrowed her eyes and closed her mouth as if thinking about something.
The silence that follows along with it.
But a little later.
“great. “Then let’s get started.”
“…When would be a good time to set it?”
She seemed to think about the man’s question for a moment and then spoke.
“Let’s do it in a week.”
“All right.”
“From now on, continue to monitor Kim Joo-hyuk. “We will prepare up to 20… no, 30 people for ‘contact’.”
“…are you preparing 30 people?”
Adelia Bentrick nodded and answered the man’s question.
“yes. Because you have to be sure. There must not be a single mistake. “You know that, right?”
“Yes, I know that. In that case, I will prepare as you said.”
“How many people are inside the place?”
“I called the entire processing department.”
“Please call them those with big mouths.”
“…All right.”
It felt like it was more than I thought. He nodded because he couldn’t go against his superior’s orders.
However.
‘You must not underestimate it.’
Contrary to the man’s thoughts, Adelia Bentrick was thinking about Kim Joo-hyuk with a serious expression.
Of course he is a student.
However, what he accomplished was too great to be accomplished by just one student, and that is why Adelia Bentrick was convinced that Kim Joo-hyuk had something.
It’s just a simple intuition.
But even if it was just a hunch, she decided to handle this matter with certainty.
Kim Joo-hyuk tarnished the family’s name, and as if that wasn’t enough, he also tarnished the name Bentrick several times.
so that.
“I will participate too.”
“The head of the family…?”
“yes.”
She did not let down her guard and cut off Kim Joo-hyuk’s life with her own hands.
“This time, I plan to definitely handle it.”
I opened my mouth without hiding my faintly burning anger.
